London, July 25.

LEDRU ROLLIN.

Sir,—Decidedly the ]ate signal victory of the
democratic parry in Paris has disturbed M. Bona-
parte's mind, and is ab3ut throwing him into enor-
mities.

His thoughts are troubled by fright and terror.
Yesterday the ghost had the name of Beranger,
whose glorious remains he would have escorted to
their resting place by an army of 30,000 men, each
soldier carrying sixty cartridges and provisions for
a three dap,' campaign, and directed by this feroci-
ous order—" On them, they are barbarians (sus aux
barbares) ; let them be crushed, as they were on the
2d of Dec!mber." And who were these barbarians?
The 250,000 republican electors of Paris.
To-day it is by means of a dark and appalling plot
be strives to terrify public opinion, and, with that
well-known obstinacy of his, he takes up again the
scheme he had imagined four months ago, when he
despatched to me au agent provocateur whom I had
to expose to public shame and confusion.
Thus, as might have been the casa under the
tyrants of ancient Greece and Rome, my name is
placed upon a list of proscription, without—l em-
phatically affirm it—my having ever known or seen
any of ihe so-called conspirators in the hands of M.
Bonaparte; without my ever havint', directly or in-
directly, communicated with any of them in any
way whatever. This I state as a faet, an undeniable
fact. But What of that ? The active share I took
in the last elections was quite sufficient to instil
into M. Bonaparte's mind an increased dose of
hatred, and a burning wish to satisfy his spite and
vengeance at my expense.
Before any regular and free Tribunal, I solemnly
swell-, his public accuser, deprived not only of
all
evidence, but even of the sligh'est adminicle or
shade of probability, would not dare to face me.
A regular Tribunal ! Tkat, of a certainty, is not
what M. Bonaparte is in search of ; whilst, on the
other side, before a mock °mut of Justice, where
the absent accused is tried without knowing any-
thing of the proceedings, depositions of witnesses—
aye, of the very indictment brought in against him
—where there is neither jury nor defence—if he
were even charged with having pocketed the steeples
of Notre Dame or Westminster Abbey, he would
helplessly and unavoidably be convicted—for the
sole reason of his being absent and contumacious.
Such are, by a remnant of barbarity, the disposi-
tions of the Imperial Code—vastly different, in this
respect, from the English law.
Thus M. Bonaparte would be the sole winner,
and his scheme is obvious. It runs to the follow-
ing effect :—" Being already conderianed for life,
in vain would you, by your presence, seek to avert
a second condemnation. Once I get hold of you,
your doom is sealed, and nothing shall save you
from rotting in my dungeons."
A contrivance of that kind would, indeed, be
most convenient. It would be sufficient to find in
France three of those judges, who, after having in-
dicted M. Bonaparte for the crime of high treason,
degraded themselves to becoming his eleides ; and,
abroad, a Government cowardly enough to execute
their commands, in order to banish from the last
resting-place on earth, the last asylum open to.poli-
tical exiles. Civilisation itself would, henceforth,
becotne a subject of regret and a bane, for, under
the sway of the Greek and Roman tyrants of old,
a few corners of safe concealment in fastnesses and
wildernesses were at least left to honest patriots.
In the same measure as extradition in matters of
ordinary crimes stands in confirmity with common
law, and deserves to be hailed as a blessing of peace
and enlightenment—so, extradition applied to poli-
tical offences would be a stain upon civilisation and
a scourge to humanity. The nation capable of
granting it, for the sake of whatever earthly con-
siderations or momentary expediency, would in-
fallibly lower itself to the lowest stage of ignominy.
" But this is no question of politics, I am told,
but of murder." Of murder ? Indeed ! Where,
then, was murder committed ? where was it even
attempted ? • The accusation itself dares not utter
the word of a " commencement of execution."
What it talks of is a plot, a conspiracy (complot)—a
different thing altogether, since the most Draconian
law has embodied the principle that, as long as no
real attempt is made, the conspirators may have
altered their mind. Besides, when you speak of a
plot (complot) you necessarily name a political
crime, the expression complot, in French law, being
only and exclusively applied to political matters. I
defy the most acute of the Imperial lawyers
.to
quote a case, a single one, where it was ever used
m a different sense.

Murder, you say ! We have heard of such, in-
deed, but not in the present instance, I, for one,
