" It should be recollected that the object of penal
laws is the protection and security of the innocent;
that the punishment of the guilty is resorted to only
as a means of attaining that object. When, therefore,
the guilty escape, the law has merely failed of its
intended effect; it has done no good, indeed, but it
has done no harm. But when the innocent become
the victims of the law, the law is not merely ineffi-
cient —it does not merely fail of accomplishing its
intended object—it injures the persons it was meant
to protect—it creates the very evil it was to cure,
and destroys the security it was made to preserve."

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

Dave received the Paris journals of yesterday.
Gai:gnani's Messenger gives the follovving account
of the review of Thursday at Satory:—
" The principal stand set apart for the friends of the
President of th Republic was occupied by the Marquis
and Marchioness of Norrcanty, the Duchess° d'lstrie,
ecantesso d 3 la Ferronnays, Madame de Beaumont,
Madame Schickler, Comte de Moltke, Ambassador of
Denmark; Comtesse de Moltke, Marquis de Fitz-James,
M. de Caumont-Lakree, M. earlier, prefect of police;
M. Arrighi de Padoue, prefect of the department, &e.
Several members ef the Permanent Committee of the
National Assembly were also present, and among them
were specially noticed M. Jules de Lasteyrie and M.
Le.) de Lahorde.

"The President of the Republic left the Ely: 6e at
half•past eight o'clock in the morning, by post. He was
accompanied by the Minister of War, by General
Rogues, his aide de•camp; and by Colonel Ney, Com-
mandant Fleury, and Captain Meneval, his officers
d'ordonvance. The President wore as usual the uniform
of a general of the National Guard, with the grand cor-
don of the Legion of Honour.
" The President arrived at Versailles at half-past ten.

" Accompanying the President we noticed the Mar-
quis of Doueles, M. Horace Vcrnet, General Excel-
mars, four English officers of Lancers (their brilliant
uniforms (ached universal admiration), a Prussian
officer in uniform, and the Prince of Capua in a Neapo-
litan general's uniform. There were also several gene-
rals of the French army, and a vast number of officers
of different grades. The variety of uniforms around
the President presented a striking coup dad.
" When the President of the Republic arrived, the
troops (many of whom had passed the previous night in
encampments near the Plaine) were drawn up in lines.
They consisted of 48 squadrons of cavalry, in two divi-
sions—one under the orders of General Kerte, assisted
by Generals Waldener and Grouchy—the other com-
manded by General P, evost, assisted by Generals Rai-
bell and Julien. There were also nine battalions of in-
fantry and three batteries of artillery, under the orders
of General Neemayer, assisted by Generals Cornemuse
and Cavaignac.
"The President of the Republic began the day's bu-
siness by passing along the lines to review the troops.
This occupied about an hour. At this moment the ea
valry, drawn up in two immense lines, presented a
brilliant spectacle. Several man ceuvres then took place,
the most important of which were, first, the forming
of the first line into columns, and its falling back to
enable the second line to advance ; next, tl e lancers
and hussars charging en tirailleurs —a fine sight ;
thirdly, a charge executed by the heavy cavalry. This
last manoeuvre was re ally grandiose : a line, of nearly
a mile in length, of the finest cavalry regiments in the
service came thundering along the plain, sword in hand.
and, like a torrent, seemed prepared to sweep away
everything opposed to them. The sun shone forth at
the moment, gilding with its rays helmet, sword, and
cuirass. An electric effect was produced on the spec-
tator?, and they clapped their hands and shouted with
delight. Never, indeed, were the pride, pomp, and
circumstance of glorious war,' more magnificently dis-
pLyed.
" The cavalry, having taken up their former position,
dismounted, and the infantry and artillery then marched
up the plain; their bayonets glittering in the sun, and
their steady march, made them literally rescuable
'moving walls of bristling steel.' General Changarnier
rode at their head, followed by his staff. The President
of the Republic,
with the Minister of War by his side,
tot k up his station in front of the stands. On passing
him, General Chaugarnier made a profound salutation,
by raising and then dropping his sword; and the Presi-
d, nt ror lied by moving his hat. The General then placed
opposite the, President, and the troops filed off.
The band of each regiment played as it came up, and
remained playing until the whole regiment had passed.
" As great public interest is at present manifested to
know the sentiments cf the army towards the President
of the Republic, R e carefully noted the cries of each
regiment as it filed off before him. The following is a
literal copy of our notes:—Four companies of ergineers
—tee cry; a battalion of chasseurs do Vincennes—no
cry; a battery of artillery—no et y ; a regiment of cars-
bineers— al enthusiastic shout of Vivo l'Empereur
—the soldiers saving their swords, and one squadron
repeating the cry twice or thrice; second regiment of
carabire els, heat ty cries of Viva l'Empereur mixed
with some ( f Vise Napoleon!' the soldiers brandish-
ing their swords; a regiment of cuirassiers—predcmi-
nating cry ' Vive l'Ernpereur!' a battery r f artillery—
no cry; a regiment of cuirassiers—no cry; a
regiment of dragoons hearty shouts of ' Vive
Napoleon!' and some of Vive l'Empereur!' an-
other regiment of dragoons—'Vive l'Empereurr end
Viva Napoleen!' but not very hearty; a regiment cf
lancers—' Vive, Napoleon!' another regiment of lancers
Vive Napoleon!" Viva l'Empereur !' a regiment of
chasseurs—' Vive Napoleon;' but not very enthusiastic;
a battery of artillery—' Vive Napoleon!" Vivo l'Em-
pereurr (these cries excited great surprise, as the ar-
tillery had the reputation of never shouting); regiment
of chasseurs—' Vive Napoleen I" Viva l'Empereur
regiment of hussars (green)—no cry—ditto (white)
Vivo Napoleon!' but not very hearty.
" The filing off was very fine. The waving of swords
and lances by the cavalry regiments, as they greeted the
President, made the scene picturesque and exciting in
the extreme.

" The review ended, the President of the Republic,

General Changarnier, and their numerous staffs, pro-
ceeded to a reserve part of the Plaine to partake of re-
freshment. All the; officers and sub-officers who were
present at the review :were invited to a collation, con-
sisting of champagne and cold provisions, placed on the
ground in baskets fir parties of twelve. Cigars were
also distributed.

" General Changarnier left before the President. The
President, before taking his departure, rode along the
ranks of his guests, who interrupted ihAr repast to greet
him with enthusiastic shouts. The spectators who had
assemble') to witness his arrival at and departure from
the simple feast also hailed him with the heartiest accla-
mations of Vive Napoleon!' The peasants, we noticed,
were extraordinarily-enthusiastic.
" On his return through the town, also, the President
was received with intense enthusiasm. He left for Paris
in his own carriage.

"Taken altogether, the military display of yesterday
was a grand affair indeed. It must have been highly
gratifying to Prince Louis Napoleon, by the enthusiasm
it elicited for him personally, both from the troops and
the people ; it was highly creditable to the army, by its
perfect discipline and high efficiency ;
and it was most
pleasing to the immense mass cf spectators—to the
foreign portion of them as a magnificent show—to the
native as a just subject of patriotic pride."
From the other journals we learn that General
CHANGARNIER, who, it will be seen, left before the
PRESIDENT, seemed greatly vexed as he rode away,
and that as he returned he was received by both
troops and people either in solemn silence or with
" Vive l'Empereur !" There were no
Vive le General Chargarnier," which are
cries
stsof of
usual on such occasions. Notwithstanding the re-
monstrances of the Committee of Permanence, the re-
freshments were distributed as usual, by order of the
PRESIDENT, and the troops raised the cry of " Vive
Napo:eon ! Viva l'Empereur!" It was a very sig-
nificant expression of contempt for the Bourbonist
faction, as represented by M. DurtN, on the pert of
the PRESIDENT, and shows that he is much stronger
than the Bourbonists imagine ; for a man of his con •
summate prudence would scarcely have ventured on
so bold a defiance had he not been tolerably certain of
his strength.
The Committee of Permanence met yesterday, M.
DUPIN in the chair.
General D'llAuTpoub, the Minister of War, was in
attendance, and was subjected to a rigll examination,

the
the try of " Vive l'Ernpereur !" which had been raised
M. DUPIN severely blamed
by some of the troops, and declared that it
Committee that it
might have been prevented had the Minister
of War adopted the recommendations of the Corn-
mittee, and issued an order forbidding the troops to
utter any cries. He added, that he could assure the
Government it was not by such means they could
arrive at the empire.

SPAIN.
The Heraldo of the sth states it has reason to
know that the report of differences having arisen be-
tween the British Ambassador, Lord Howden, and
the French Embassy at Madrid, is utterly without
foundation. It adds that the relations between the
two embassies were never more friendly. The same
journal states that a revolt has broken out in several
towns in Morocco, in consequence of a decree by the
Emperor, ordering the skins of all slaughtered animals
to be considered as his exclusive property. Tire
Paeha of Fez has, it is said, fled, and at Tetuan the
ty
people had taken possession of the gates of the place.
The Queen of Spain held a grand levee on the 4.h in
honour of the anniversary of the birth of the King,
and in the evening the ci
was illuminated.

GERMANY.
The Deutsche Zeitung states that the King of
,
lirtemberg arrived at Frankfort on the evening
of the ith instant. Mr. Detmold, the Hanoverian
agent at the Frankfort Council, was likewise expected
on that day.
A dispatch, which reached Cologne on the Bth,
states that reactionary measures are every moment ex •
Peen(' in Saxony. The Dresden Ministry has dis-
tributed, at the
,expense of the State, throughout all
the country, the memorial by which M. Hassenpflug

tries to justify a line of conduct which Gaimany and
Europe condemns as criminal. . _ .

Accounts have been received from Cassel to the Bth.
The city continues profoundly tranquil, and neither
the people nor their leaders will give the ELECTOR
the least excuse for letting loose the bloodhounds of
Austria and Bavaria. The Absolutists cf Germany
are fairly puzzled by the passive resistance of the
Hessians, which has, it is said, driven old General
HAYNAU mad. The officers of the Hessian army
have met and decided that as, on the one hand, they
would be guilty of a military crime were they to
disobey the orders of the ELECTOR, and, on the other,
they would be guilty of perjury if, in obeying those
orders they were to break the oath which they,equally
ith the ELECTOR, had taken to observe the consti-
tution, it was their duty to at once resign their com-
missions and retire from the service, and they have re-
signed en masse. A large Prussian force is assembled at
Wet zlar, Paderborn, and along the frontier, prepared
to take possession of the military roads of Hesse
(through which Prussia has a right of passage under
the convention of 1815), should any Austrian or Ba-
varian troops attempt to enter the Electorate.
In the sitting of the 7th of the National Assembly
of Stuttgart, Prince ZEIL addressed the following
question to the Cabinet—"ls it true that the Go-
vernment of Wurtemberg has ratified the treaty of
peace concluded between Prussia and Denmark ? and
if so, on what grounds has the Government thought
it its duty to ratify that treaty ?" M. DE LINDEN,
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, answered that he
did not exactly understand the second part of
the question, but that he would state in general
terms that the Government had ratified the treaty
in question under the reserve of all the rights
of the Germanic Confederation, giving moreover to
this reserve the greatest possible extension. He added
that the Government could not as yet present the
treaty to the Assembly. Prince ZEIL then declared
he would wait till the treaty was press nted to re-
sume the subject. M. SEEGEZ complained that the
Duchies had been abandoned by Germany, and moved
that the Assembly do protest against each dereliction,
and invite the Government to send to Holstein the
stipulated sums for the maintenance of the troops.
M. NATTER seconded the motion. M. SATTLEE
opposed the latter part of the motion, on the ground
that the Lieutenancy did not inspire much con-
fidence. Nevertheless, M. SEEGEZ'S motion was
passed by 54 votes to 2. M. SUSSKIND then brought
forward his motion in favour of the people of Hesse-
Cassel. M. MACK recommended, by way of amend-
ment, that the :motion should not touch upon the
German question. M. SUSSKIND agreed to it, and
added the following welds to his motion, " The Go-
vernment of Wurtemberg is recommended not to
countenance the Governments of Germany which
might be disposed to prevent the Hessians from exer-
cising their rights." The Assembly, after some fur-
ther conversation on the subject, rejected the amend-:
ment of M. MACK by 42 votes to 14, and approved
the second p.lrt of M. SUSSKIND'S motion by 44
votes to 12.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Harabargh Courant of the Bth has the follow-
ing from Rendsburg of the 7th :
" RENDSBURG, OCT. 7.

" Yesterday at noon the Danes made an attack upon
our position, Lut were driven back with such energy and
speed that they had not time to take away their dead
and wounded.

" Some ace unts of our attack upon Friedrichstadt
hint at our intention of abandoning it altogether. If we
must refrain from it at present, yet can we never relin-
quish our intention, either in respect to Fricdrichstadt
or any other enterprise. On the contrary, we hope soon
to show the enemy that our will is as unshaken as the
courage of our troops is indemitable.
The attack alluded to above was a sally made by
the garrison of Friedrichstadt, and notwithstanding
the success claimed by the Schleswig-Holsteiners,
their ar my has retreated from before that town and
fallen back upon its former position at R,,endsburg.
The German Gazette states from Vianna, 3el inst.—

" Austria has, it is said, completely succeeded at Co-
panhsgen; the Cabinets of Paris, London, and St.
Petersburgh have joined in her opinion. The of
Denmark will grant an amnesty, and will establish the
political constitution of the Duchies in accordance with
the Germanic Diet, on the condition that hostilities shall
immediately cease. The declaration of the Diet of the
17th September, 1846, will form the basis of the arrange-
ment. We give this new without,however, guarantee-
ing its exactitude."
