that there was any truth in reports that were cur-
rent of modifications in the Ministry.

Marshal Randon 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 prohibited Jews

Eupatoria.

The Nord states that the Emperor of Russia,

Darmstadt, is to go to Stuttga, t on the 24th, and

ARRIVAL 01 TRW RIPON WITH
PASSENGERS FROM INDIA.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Ripon, Capt. Duudas, (Admiralty agent, Lieut. Sea-
ward, R.N.) - arrived at Southampton yesterday,
with the heavy portion of the India, Chine, and
Australian mails. Her dates were Alexandria, Aug.
21 ; Malta, 25, and Gibraltar the 30th. She brought
157 passengers. Amongt her cargo- were 2,308
bales of silk. She spoke the troop ship Syria, Sept.
2, all well on board. She passed the Colombo
on the 27th ult., and the Tagus on the 31st ult.
Lord Lyons' squadron left Gibraltar for Thnis 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 carriage in which there were six persons, of whom
.only she and two of her companions saved their lives;
the rest were miirdered, Tha Rev. Mr. Hay, an
American missionary, and hit wife and family, were
passengers in the Ripon, and they also narrowly
escaped with their Jives 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 be saw
unmistakeable signs of the mutiny. He met a lady
travelling by dak to Delhi, and he and his party
persuaded her to turn back, 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 colonel, who
came home in the Rip.an, had a whole company of
European soldiers,'consisting of nearly a hundred
persons, cut to pieces by mutineers. The'Calcutta
passengers on board the Ripon believe that Delhi
must Boon fall ; the mutineers are 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 spread 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, fur 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 voyafre :—The English screw steamer Brenda,
off and for Malta ; the Peninsular and Oriental
Company's steam-ship C 101nbo, 110 m,les west of
Galita, for Malta; the Dutch screw steamer Trieste,
off' Alglers, steering east ; the Englizh brig Gem

of the Sea, off Cape de 4atte, bound ~vest ; the
English screw steamer Vasco de Gama, off Cape de
GaVe, steering to the eastward ; the English screw
steamer Orontes, off St. Vincent, steering south ;
.the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Tagus, off and. for Liston ; the troopship .Hersilb,
100 miles north-east of Cape Finisterre, six days
out, bound to Madras, a'l well on board ; the
schooner Conquest, 170 miles north-cast of Cape
Finisterre, steering t) the sou'h-west ; the screw
steamer Saxon, on the 3d inst., off 11.,haut, steer-
ing up Channel.

THE AFFAIR OF LERRU ROLLIN
AND MAZZINI.

At the sitting of the Court of Aasizea on Thurs-
day, the pnblic pfosecutor called on the court to
pass sentence on Ledru Rollin, Mazzini, Massarenti,
' and Campanella, who are accused of having, in com-
' plicity with Tibaldi, Grilli, and Bartollotti, already
condemned, formed' 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, Masearenti, 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 London and York by Massarenti,
an agent of Mazz.ni, were taken to the latter,'
" who sent th©m to Paris to make an attempt on
the life of the Emperor," addressing them to Ti-
baldi, his agent in Patin, 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 appeared
that Ledru-Rollin, who in 1853 had caused 50t)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 wtts
,taken there ; he took part in the diecusion 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
stly, he supplied Bartolotti and Grilli with fends
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 ; ar.cl that that
person took them to places at which they
could approach the Emperor, and gave to Grilli
two of the poignards deposited with Lim.
Massarenti had brought Bartolotti up from York.
and had menaced him with the aaecr 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 w:th these significa,rit.wo • ds:--" Our sick
Min (meaning the Emperor) is no better he cmnes
from time to Vine. I believe that, from this, it will
be diffreult to cure him, but we shall neeleet nothing
to attain the desired object:" In order the better to
secure the execu t ion of hi s homicidal project,Mazzini
adhered to the proposition madetoht m by MassArenti
to send two other indiv:duals to Pails with the same
object as Bartolotti and•Grilli ; on that occasion he
*rote from Genoa, on the Mh.Jati leo y, to Campa-
nella, at London, to come to an unders'anding with
Massarenti on the afftir at Paris, which was more •
than ever urgent and desirable, and for which two
persons had already been sent to Paris=-*--announeing
to him that two others proposed themselves, and in
sist:ng that the four me n should act two by two, inde-
pendently of each other ; adding that that was the
best` lan to folio w, and recommending that the two
new men should be sent to Tibaldi, who was in pos-
session of the materiel,"; at the same epoch he gave
similar instructionste Massaren i, adding that if the
friend bad left (the E•nperot, Who'a: that time was
at Fontainebleau, was so designated), "nothing
cool l be done," and that his return from the coun-
try must be waited for ; and, 1144, Mazzini
joined to the lett -r 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 termina'ing by the 1'03(1m-reed ttion
that they " should alt independently of each other,
as that was the best for all." From all these cir-
cainstance.s," the Court declare I thee, "a 1 esolutiou
lend been t-tgr eat.' on and concerted between Mazzini,
Ledru-Rollin, Campanella, Massarenti, Tit ald~,
Bartolotti, and Grilli, to attempt to kill the Em-
peror—which resolution h d been followed by an
aet cdcula'ed to prep. are its exe 311 ! ion—whereby
the erim r of forming a plot (crime de, complot),
punished by Art. 89 of the Pen d Code, had been
committed." It therefore condemned Mazzini,
Ledru-Rol!in, Campanella, and Massarenti, all four
absent, to deportation.
