hours after, the two men were executed as an-
notinced. A letter from a Ministerial source denies
that there was any truth in reports that were cur-
remit of modifications in the Ministry.

Marshal Bandon has arrived at Marseilles from
Algiers. He was saluted here by the artillery of
the fort.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 25th ult., in
the Hamburg News, states-that the commission en-
trusted with the administration of that part of Bes-
sarabia which has been ceded to Moldavia-has just
been dissolved. The Emperor has irohibited Jews
from inhabiting Sebastopol. They are not even al-
lowed to go thither in order to embark in a steamer
for foreign parts ; for that purpose they must go to
Eupatoria.

The Nord states that the Emperor of Russia,
after passing some. days at Berlin, Wilbad, and
Darmstadt, is to go to Stuttgart on the 24th, and
to remain there to the 28th ; and that the Emperor
of the French is to arrive in the same city on the
25th on a visit to the King of Wurtemburg. Ac-
cording to a letter from Stuttgart, in the Zeit of
Berlin, the Empress of the French is to accompany
his Majesty. •

A letter from Berlin says :—" The King, as head
of the hottsw-of Hohenzillern, has authorised the
marriage-of the-PrineessStephanie de Hohenzollern
with the King Don Pedro."

ARRTVAL OF THE RIPON WITH
PASSENGERS FROM INDI 4.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Ripon, Capt. Dundas, (Admiralty agent, Lieut. Sea-
ward, R.N.) arrived at Southampton yesterday,
with the heavy portion of the India, China, and
Australian mails. Her dates were'Alexandria, Aug.
21; Malta, 25, and Gibraltar the 39th. She brought
157 passengers. Amongt her cargo were 2,308
bales of silk. She spoke the troop ship Syria, Sept.
2, all well on boatel. She passed the Colombo
on the 27th ult., and the Tagus on the 31st ult.
Lord Lyons' squadron left Gibraltar for Tunis on
the 29th ult. The Ripon's mails were contained
in about 600 boxes and bags, and' were de-
by special train of eight vans and carriages to Lon-
don at noon yesterday. Among the passengers in
the Ripon was a young lady, named Stallard, who
escaped the massacre at Meerut. In escaping she
had to swim over a river. At one time she was in
a oarriage in which there were six persons, of whom
only she and twa of her companions saved their lives;
the rest were murdered. The Rev. Mr. Hay, an
American missionary, and his wife and family, were
passengers in the Ripon, and they also narrowly
escaped with their lives from Meerut. They
lost all their property and clothes. One of
the passengers of the Ripon was a civilian, who'
left Delhi just before the mutiny broke out
there. In travelling down to Calcutta he saw
unmistakeable signs of the mutiny. He met a lady
travelling by dak to Delhi, and he and his party
persuaded her to turn badr, as the country appeared
to be dangerous. She turned back with them to
Cawnpore, but there she was persuaded by others
to resume her journey. An Indian colond, who
came home in the Ripon, had a whole company of
European soldiers, consisting of nearly a hundred
persons, cut fo pieces by mutineers. The Calcutta
passengers on board the Ripon believe that Delhi
must soon fall ; the mutine9r3 ate in want of
ammunition, cholera is raging amongst them,
and when they make sallies they are
slaughtered in great numbers by the be-
siegers. It is believed that when Delhi has fallen
the mutiny will sprea 1' still further over the
country, by great numbers of the mutineers escap-
ing to various,parts of India.
The Ripon's passengers confirm all the reports
about the atrocities committed. Infants and chil-
dren were literally, for sport, thrown into the air
and caught on the swords and, bayonets of the
Sepoys. Whole European families—husband, wife,
and children—have been exterminated in India by
the native soldiers.

The Ripon spoke the following vessels during
the voyage :—The English screw steamer Brenda,
off and for Malta ; the Peninsular and Orient it
Company's steam-ship o,loinbo, 110 miles west of
Galita, for Malta; the Dutch screw steamer Trieste,
off Algiers, steering east ; the English brig Gem
of the Sea, off Cape de Gatte, bound west ; the
English screw steamer Vasco do Gama, off Cape de
Gate, steering to the eastward ;, the English screw
steamer Orontes, off St. Vincent, steering south ;
the PeninsWar and Oriental Company's steamer
Tagus, off and for Lisbln ; the troopship Hersilil,
100 miles north-east of Cape Finisterre, six days
out, bound to Madras, all well on board ;
schooner Conquest, 170 miles north-east of Cape
Finisterre, steering to the south-west ; the screw
steamer Saxon, on the 3d inst., off Ushant, steer-
ing up Channel.

THE AFFAIR OF LERIW ROLLIN
AND MAZZINI.

. At the Sittiug of the Court of Assizea on Thurs-
' day, the public prosecutor . c died on the court to
' • pass sentence on Le Iru Rollin, Mazzini, Massarenti,
and Campanella, who are accused of having, in com-
plicity with Tibaldi, Grilli, and Bartollotti, already
condemiied, fOrrned a plot to assassinate the Em-
peror of the French, but who have not surrendered
to take their trial. The indictment and other do-
cuments having been read, the court, after deli-
beration, gave a judgment to this effect :—lt ap-
peared from the examination before a magistrate,
from documents produced, especially from letters
of Mazzini, Massarenti, and Tibaldi, and from the
disclosures of Bartolotti and Grilli, that in the
course of the year 1857 Bartolotti and Grilli having
been recruited at Lendon and York by Massarenti,
an agent of Mazzini, were taken to the latter,
" who sent them to Paris to make an attempt on
the life of the Emperor," addressing them to Ti-
baldi, his agent in Paris, who was charged to di-
rect them and to remit to them the necessary instru-
ments from those which had been deposited with
him, and which consisted of sixteen pistols, loaded
and primed, and of 'seven poignards. It appear d
that Leiria-Rollin; 'who in 1833 had cause .1 509 f.
to be given to a man named Kearsch, who admitted
having formed at that time the project of at-
tempting to kill the Emperor, was present at
Mazzini's when Bartolotti for the first time was
taken there ; be took part in the discussion which
ensued as to the time at which the Emperor was
accustomed to go out ; his presence at a conference
essentially secret revealed the motive which took
him there, and his participation in the plot ; and
lastly, ho supplied Bartolotti and Grilli with funds
for their journey from London to Paris. It ap-
peared that Bartolotti and Grilli left for Paris with
passports in false names, and on their arrival went
to Tibaldi, to whom they made themselves known
by a password agreed on ; acd that that
person took them to places at which they
could approach the Emperor, and gave to Grilli
two of the poignards deposited with him.
Massarenti bad brought Bartolotti up from York.
and had menaced him with the anger of Mazzini for
having left his post. Tibaldi, in a letter to Mazzini,
had given an account of the measures taken by him
with respect to Bartolotti and Grilli, terminating
his letter with these significant wo: ds:—" Our sick
man (meaning the Emperor) is no batter; he eames
from time to -Free. I believe that, from this, it will
be difficult to cure him, but we shall neglect nothing
to atta;illll6 desired object." In orier the better to
secure the execution °fins homiciA a I project, Mazzini
adhered to the proposition madetoh, in by Massarenti
to send two other individuals to Paris with the same
object as Bartolotti and Grilli • on that occasion he
wrote from Genoa, on the 10th January, lei
Oampa-
nella, at London, to come to an understanding-with
Massarenti on the affair at Paris, which was more
than ever urgent and desirable, and for which two
persons bad already bean sent to Paris—anneuneing
to him-that two .otilers proposed themselves, and in-
gist Mg that the fourmeu should act two by two, inde-
pendently of each other ; adding that that was the
best plan to follow, and recommtndince, that the two
new men should be sent to Tibal,ii, who was in pos-
session of the materiel ; at the same epoch he gave
. similar instructionste Ma&,arelvi,.addirig that if the
friend had left (the Raperor, who at that time was
at Fontainebleau, was so designated), "nothing
could be done," and that his return from the coun-
try must be waited for ; and, lastly, Mazzini
joined to the letter a few words of recommenda-
tion to Tibaldi, to the effect that he should receive
the two new men as he had received the two
others, and should treat them also without re-
serve, again t.srmina'ing by the recommendation
that they " should act inclependently_of each other.,
as that was the best for all." From all these cir-
cenistancea, the Conrt declared that "a resolution
lied been agreed on and concerted between Mazzini,
Ledru-Rollin, Campanella, Massarenti,
Bartolotti, and Grilli, to attempt to kill the Em-
peror—which iesolittion had been followed by an
act calculated to prepare its exesm ion—whert by
the cilia's of forming to plot (crime de complot),
punished by Art. 89 of the Penal Code, had been
committed." It therefore condemned Mazzini,
Ledru-Rollin, Campanella, and Massarenti, all four
abient, to depot tation.
