LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1850.

Profligacy appears in France to set at open de-
fiance the powers of criminal jurisprudence. What
is, moreover, yet more lamentable—the sympathies
of the populace seem to go, not with the victim of a
detestable lust, but with his seducer and his de-
bauched associates. Such, at least, are the only con-
clusions to be drawn from the particulars already
given in our columns of a recent trial at Tours, be-
' fore the Court of Assizes of the department. In
every circumstance of that miserable transac-
tion we can only find reason to regret
the impotence of the law when deal-
ing with scoundrels as unprincipled as the Count
FORESTIER DE COLBERT. From the evidence
adduced during the examination of the various wit-
nesses, as well as from the admirable and lucid narra-
tive delivered by the public prosecutor, it appeared
that the accused nobleman had, by a most
systematic conspiracy, inveigled into an in-
trigue a young girl named ISABELLA HAMIL-
TON, then residing in Tours with her father,
an English clergyman. Besides the unfortu-
nate child entrapped into this wretched offaire
du cceur, Mr. HAMILTON was " encumbered" with
a wife and " a host of children." One might have
imagined, therefore, that this fact, together with the
sacred calling of the foreign minister, might have
protected him from the carnal machinations of even
a rout of the most lax morality. When, moreover, it
is considered that the poor girl was yet scarcely fif-
teen years of age, in all respects innocent as a child,
and as inexperienced, nothing but the most loath-
some abandonment of all principle, nothing but the
most implicit obedience paid to a passion inflamed by
the most ungovernable concupiscence could induce
any man, however depraved in sentiment, to com-
pass, after the must prolonged and sys-
tematic endeavours, the destruction of youth-
ful purity. Nevertheless, it was proved against
the accused that be not only carried out his abomi-
nable project in reference to ISABELLA HAMILTON, in
spite of those powerful restrictive considerations, but.
that he putsued her with his illicit affections while
his wife was lying ill of a disease which ultimately
brought about her premature dissolution. Having
gained the affection of his victim, and embittered her
life at home by his insidious arguments, the Count
FORESTIER in COLBERT at length induced her to
leave Tours, accompanied by her bonne, and, after
reaching Paris by the railway, to await the
arrival of her paramour. Everything prospered in
this miserable arrangement, even to the meeting, at
the terminus in the French capital, of the two mis-
guided females and a friend of the seducer, a man
called the Baron DE VIVIER, who appears, in these
proceedings, to have acted in the capacity of the
merest pander to vicious appetites. Nothing, to our
mind, can exceed in prurient licentiousness the tone
of the letters in which these two " gallant" debauchees
arranged the preliminaries to the seduction of the
young girl ISABELLA HAMILTON, and her bonne ADELE
GRENDON. Writing to a friend in Paris, the Count
FORESTIER DE COLBERT says, " I send you, my dear
friend, a young . English girl, aged fifteen, with a
pretty little face, clear blue eyes, delicate nose, sen-
sual mouth, and a slightly prominent chin. She is
the daughter of an Irish minister, who has a host of
children. She will be accompanied by a little bonne
of seventeen, m ith auburn hair, &c., named ADELE"—
expatiating upon the
physical characteristics of each
with the brutality of
a Colonel CIIARTIRIS. ‘; DO
•not," he continues, " make any objection, I have only
acted after long deliberation. I beg of you to meet
them at the railway station on their
garprirveatlt—y
miss)erSAD willELL A
(that is the name of my charming
have a plaid gown, a straw bonnet, and a black
woollen cloak ; the servant, an old black bonnet of
her mistress. They hale been told
you will be
there, and will expect to meet you. That they may
recognise you,
have a white flower at your
button hole, or rather keep a pocket
handkerchief constantly to your mouth. I laugh at
p
the thought of your meeting these oor creatures.
Take an apartment for them ; let it be simple, but be-
coming. The father will no doubt take some mea-
sures, which it is important to render vain. I shall
therefore continue to show myself in the public pro-
menades, that I may not be suspected ; and then I
will relieve you in 3 our guard. My wife is better.
BEETONNEAU is tending her as if she were his own
child. She is surrounded with devoted attendants,
has a good house, and her physician in ordinary is
one of the princes of the science. What can Ido
more ? I may venture to give myself this little gra-
tification. Do not scold me. I tell you that the
father is an Englishman and a clergyman—two
animals I detest, and who are, as it were, grafted
one on the other, expressly to take from
me all sorts of remorse." From the Baron
DE Vivian, the vivacious seducer of an innocent
child of fifteen receives a response couched in

LON D ON,

the same flippant terms and volatile language.
Among his other " amiable" pieces of merriment, for
example, the Baron observes, " I bad some thought
of moralieing with sou, but what's the use! The
wine is drawn, and you must drink it !" Unfor-
tunately: " the wine was drawn," for the victim
was already established in apartments in the French
metropolis, but fortunately the guilt of the seducer
was not consummated, and this in consequence of the
vigilance and sagacity, of the father of ISABELLA
HAMILTON. Suspecting the cause of his
child's sudden abduction, the English clergy-
m:.n applied at once to the Procureur
de la Republique, and in compliance with the prompt
directions of that official, the Count FORESTIER DE
COUBERT was arrested while still tarrying at Tours,
awaiting near the sick bed of bis wife, the signal for his
appearance in the capital. Thereupon the child .and
her bonne were sent back to Tours, having happily
escaped the polluting presence of the prcfligate, but
dantaged, if not altogether ruined, in reputation.
As the trial approached, of course offers of a
compromise were made by the intimidated de-
fendant, and, his wife having just expired, he
even proposed to marry the young girl ISABELLA as
the most effectual means of compensation. While,
nevertheless, indignantly rejecting the suggestion of
such an alliance, the Reverend Mr. HAMILTON
entreated the Procureur to allow the matter to
be hushed up without being publicly blazoned
in the Court of Assizes of the department. To this
entreaty, however, that functinary turned a deaf ear,
and the result of all is that the trial has ineffectually
bruited about the name of the unfortunate victim, and
has led at the
.same time to the acquittal of her
licentious inamarato. Altogether it is impossible to
conceive any transaction more lamentable than this
abortive effort to secure the punishment of a most un-
mitigated scoundrel. So far, indeed, from having
received the punishment which his offences against
the laws of society, against the laws of
religion, and, considering the extreme youthfulness
and innocence of his victim, against the very laws of
humanity, the Count FORESTIER DE COUBERT has
been consoled for the inconvenience of his position by
the plaudits of the mob in a court of justice. The whole
proceedings afford a new and melancholy illustration of
the rottenness of certain portions of the social fabric
and of the utter inadequacy of the law as at present
constituted to deal with criminals whose offence is
nothing less than the heinous offence of seduction.

The vacancy on the judicial bench in Ireland, oc-
casioned by the lamented death of the late Chief-
Justice DOHERTY, has given origin to numerous
conjectures and a wide field of speculation as to the
course likely to be adopted by the Executive in re-
ference thereto. Some insist that the recommendation
of the Committee on Official Salaries for the reduction
of the number of Irish judges from twelve to nine,
leaving three only in each court, will be carried out,
and that no appointment whatsoever will be made to
ti.e vacant office:This assertion is as vehemently de-
nied in other quarters, where it is justly argued that
nothing less than an Act of Parliament would be
sufficient to warrant a diminution in the judicial
body, a diminution which would not only largely
increase the labours of the other judge=, but would
render necessary an alteration of the circuits, and a
variety of complicated arrangements which would
require the Legislative sanction before they could-be
carried into practical operation. Indeed we do not
see how it could be effected if the English and Irish
bars are to remain separate and distinct bodies, and
the establishments at the Four Courts, Dublin,
are to be continued in existence. The new
Chief Justice may be subjected to any changes
in the amount of salary which may ultimately
be decided on by the Imperial Parliament,
upon due consideration of the report of the
Committee above alluded to, a condition si-
milar to that upon which Sir JOHN JERVIS
accepted office in this country ; but we cannot see
how the Government can legally or constitutionally,
in justice either to the remaining judges, or to the
suitors of the courts of common law in Ireland, per-
mit the office to continue vacant for so long a period
as must necessarily elapse before the ultimate deci-
sion of Parliament can be obtained on the ques-
tion. If it should be attempted it will
aftlard conclusive evidence that Government
has determined on the immediate amalgamation of the
bars, and the removal of the Irish courts from the
banks of the Liffey to that of the Thames—from the
Inns quay to Westminster;' and, as Lord JOHN Bes-
SELL distinctly and positively asserted at the close of
the last session that no such step was even contem-
plated at, present, it may, therefore, reasonably be
anticipated that the office will be filled up whenever
the necessary arrangements can be completed.
Assuming, then, that the appointment will be
made—a matter about which we do not en-
tertain the slightest doubt—the next question
will be, who is the fortunate individual to
be selected for the high and distinguished position ?
And on this point an equal diversity of opinion ap-
pears to prevail. Some who were offended by the
zeal and energy, ability and efficiency, with which
Mr. MONAHAN discharged the arduous duties of his
situation during the state trials, desire that the usual
etiquette of the profession should be disregarded, and
that an insult should be offered to the entire bar of
Ireland in his person. It is, therefore, sug-
gested that one of the puisne judges should be
promoted to the vacant chiefdom, and that Mr.
MONAHAN should be well contented with the in-
ferior, but not less honourable position, thereby
vacated. Although we fully recognise the important
services of PERRIN, of RICHARDS, of BALL, and many
others, indeed of every member of that bench, who,
as a judicial body, are second to none the world ever
saw, we cannot for a moment imagine that the para-
mount claims of the Attorney-General can be slighted
or despised. Mr. MONAHAN has bsen the first law
officer of the Crown during a period of no ordinary
excitement, and under circumstances of no or-
dinary difficulty. During his tenure of office
the poor-law was brought into operation
throughout the entire country. The repeated
failures of the potato crop, under the mysterious visits-
tion by which PROVIDENCE was pleased to afflict the
nation, occasioned the deepest suffering and distress ;
and the year of revolutions, when so many dynasties
were overturned, and so many popular commotions
took place on the continent of Europe, inflamed the
passions of the " Young Inlanders" to the highest
pitch, and led to the abortive attempt at in-
surrection, which terminated in the banish-
ment of the honest but mistaken enthu-
siasts, who acted as leaders in the movement.
During all that time the conduct of Mr. bIONAHAN
was beyond all praise, and to his merciful and tem-
perate, but at the same time:firm and unflinching, ad-
ministration of the extensive powers committed to his
hands the happy termination a the " troublesome
tines," the crushing of the spirit of disaffection and
turbulence, and the restoration of order and tran-
quillity, may partly be attributed. He ably seconded
and carried out the statesmanlike views of the Vice-
roy, the best, as he will be the last, of the Lords-
Lieutenant of Ireland. We cannot believe that such
a man could be passed over, contrary to the usual
course of precedent and to the ordinary rules of judi-
cial appointments.
If, then, Mr. MONAHAN be the new Chief Justice,
the present Solicitor-General, Mr. HATCHELL, will
as a matter of course become Attorney-General, and
there would be a selection from a host of well.
qualified and competent candidates for the office of
Solicitor-General. When such men are to be found
as BERWICK, O'BRIEN, CHRISTIAN, HUGHES, both
the FITZQERALDS, KEOGH, anda of hostothers whose
woo support the Government—to
name is "legion,"
say nothing
NV ioufeEGSRIDEEEI: and E'iiEN:th%r members of the B
REWSTER, Burr,
N
Conservative bar,
who could scar; ely be ex=
pected to accept or hold office under the
Whig Ministry—there can 'b.! no difficulty in
finding
a fit and proper person to discharge the professional
duties of the office. But there are other considera-
tions, which cannot be omitted from the calculation,
which must be taken into account in making the new
appointment. It has long been a sulject of complaint
that there was no Irish law officer of the Crown hav-
ing a seat in the House of Commons, to lithe charge
of the various law reforms relating to Ireland. Mr.
MONAHAN sat for; Galway but for a few
months; while Mr. HATCH ELL was only returned for
Windsor towards the latter end of last session.
It is also asserted, with what foundation we know not,

that the Honourable and Learned Gentleman is de-
sirous rather of practising in Ireland than continuing
in the Hou:e of Commons. The seat for Windsor,
too, would be an object to the Government, wEo
have many able and efficient auxiliaries still excluded
from the Legislature, one of whom at least could be
brought in, but for the necessity of making a place
for an Irish law officer. Under these circumstances,
the command of a seat must exercise a material
effect in influencing the choice. If this be so
the Hon. and Learned Gentlemen the Member for
Athlone can have no competitor, possessing equal
advantages in this respect, while he is midi securdas
so far as his legal attainments are concerned. During
three sessions of Parliament he has acquired consi-
derable legislatorial experience, and gained for
himself the character of being one of the
most Skilful debaters on either side of the
House. He particularly distinguished himself
iu the discussions on the contemplated legal
reforms; and his felicitous and harmonious descrip-
tion of a suit in Chancery, and the high com-
pliments thereby elicited from the legal Members, will
not speedily be forgotten in St. Stephen's. His seat
is also a certainty. The magnificent entertainment
which he recently received from his constituents,
where men of all parties, Protestant and Catholic,
Wbig and Tory, Conservative and Radical, steadfast
friends and quondam opponents, who now rank them-
selves among his most enthusiastic advocates, vied
in eager emulation to do honour to their
Representative, clearly proved that he had
nothing to fear from an appeal to the suffrages of the
men of Athlone. In addition to these, the just and
liberal sentiments on the great questions of free-trade,
extension of the franchise, and the foreign policy of
the Government, so clearly and ably put forward,
entitle him to the approbation of the Liberal party
throughout the United Kingdom, who would hail his
appointment as Solicitor-General of Ireland as a
great accession of strength to the Ministry and an
earnest of the enlarged and comprehensive legislation
with respect to Ireland, and the United Kingdom
generelly, which may reasonably be anticipated at
their harAls.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Moniteur contains the following warning to
journalists on the suiject of signing their respective
productions in accordance with the provisions of the
new law cn the press :
" The provisions of the law of 16th-23e1 July, 1850,
are differently interpreted by the journals. Some of
them put at the bottom of a first article the signature of
the author, and omit to put it after the succeeding arti-
cles. Others indicate at the head of the first column the
names and initials of their principal editors, and content
themselves with putting the initials at the bottom of
each article. Others place after the articles a signature,
preceded by the words ' Pour le comi 6 de redaction.'
None of these ;plans fulfii'the prescriptions of Arts. 3
and 4of the la-.v above quoted, the terms of which we
here repeat:—' Art. 3. Every article of political, philo-
sophical, or religious discussion, inserted in a journal,
must be signed by ita author.'—' Art. 4. 'I he pro-
visiens of the preceding article shi,ll be applicable
to all the I rticles, whatever may be their extent,
publish el in political or non political journals,
in which the nets and opinions of citizens and of indivi-
dual or collective intern: t+, shall be discussed.' The
execution of the law must be serious, complete, and
unifolm. In making use of the words 'every article,'
the Legislature did not mean to say that the first article
should be signed, end not the following ones. In using
the words must be signed,' it demands a signature at
the bottom of the article, and not initials, the meaning
f which is to he sought for in another part of the
journal. In exprissing 'by its author,' it wished to
impose on the author or on the authors the obligation
of making themselves known, and answering indivi-
dually for their work; it could not understand that that
individuality could disappear behind the signature of
the responsible editor, or the delegated agent of a co-
ral 6de redaction.' A persistence in a deviation from
this interpretation of the law will expose the journals to
legal preceetiings."
The Journal des Bebats again appears without any
political article • but in the place usually occupied by
the Premier Paris we find the following announce-
ment printed in large type :
" The law which exacts the signature of articles of
journals is only obligatory this day (Wednesday). We
have neither desired to anticipate or postpone its_execu-
dun. "We do not feel that we need on this occasion
make any declaration of principles. We do not date
fr.An the 25. h September,
.1850; the new law does not
in any respect cause any change in our opinions, and
will not wake us change our conduct. We ate to-day
what we were yesterday. We remain simply the
Journ'il des Debuts.

" Le Reciaeteur en Chief, Gerant Responsible,

" ARMAND BERTIN."

The other journals obey the law, and furnish some
new names to add to the list of journalists which we
published yesterday. The Premier Paris of the
National is signed by M. E. CAILuS ; the Constitu-
tionnel publishes articles signed respectively by MM.
JULES BURAT, CUCHEVAL-CLARIONY, and CHARLES
RADON ; the Pouvoir has an article from the pen of
MoNToUR ; the Ordre one from that of M. JULES
MARTINET ; the Presse one signed by M. DE LA GUN-
RONNIERE ; the Patrie articles signed by M. Faux
SOLAR and M. REMY ; and the Opinion Publique
articles by M. DE CIRCOURT and M. SALA.
The supposed Bonapartist manifesto which appeared
in the semi-official Moniteur du Soir of Monday
evening, and which had been copied by that journal
from the Bulletin de Paris, a lithographed news-
letter, which is said to have relations with the
authorities, is disavowed by the Pouvoir. That
journal says:—
" Though rendering full justice to the upright inten-
lions of the writers of the Bulletin de Paris, we regret
that they should have thought fit to announce, in a form
and with a character which may be believed efficial, the
ulterior intentions of the chief of the state. Apart from
the little propriety there is in making such confidences
elsewhere than in the yoniteur, and without the partici-
pstic.n of the Council of Ministers, we believe that we
can assure our readers that the news given by the Bul-
Ittin de Paris have no sort of authenticity, and that the
chief of the state, who knows how to speak to the coun-
try when he thinks itrigLt to do to, has not charged
any one to speak in his name on such very grave goes-
"nmust say, that as regards the journals
whies. S
which have cried wecri edout against the idea of consulting Vie
people on the form and nature of the government, it
appears strange to us that such scruples should have
been produced in papers which affect on all occasions to
entertain the most profound resp3ct for the will of the
country."
. The Pattie, which also copied the manifesto from
the Bulletin, has the following
66 We yesterday.pall7shed an article from the Bulletin
de Paris, because it was in favour of a revision of the
Constitution, and it is to that which, in our opinion, the
.efforts of- the party of order should unanimously tend.
The Moniteur du Soir also copied the same article. This
coincidence has been interpreted by some journalf, and
particularly by the Arserubiee Nationale, as giving to the
refitctions of the Bulletin a semi. official character. The
editor of the ilverliblie Nationale may obtain complete
information en this subject from the editor of the Bulle-
tin, M. LatouriDumoultn. He will learn from him that
the article in question was nothing more than his own
inspiration, and that it was only in that character that it
was communicated to us."

O►l this disavowal the A ssemblie Natianale remarks
as follows

" We are ready to acknowl2dge, as the editor of the
Pairie desires, that the manifesto published by the Bul-
letin dc Paris is not the work of the Elye6), and that the
responsibility must fsil,on the imprudent writers who
impute such ideas and such projects to the President.
But there should at least, when the Mon:leur du Soir ep.
pears designedly to give an official place to such docu-
ments, be a posit've disavowal on the following day. It
would be too commodious to profit by these provocations
in favouring their publicity, and then expec leg public
pinion to be satisfied with indirect disavowals." a
The offir.ial journals give the following account of
the review at Versaiiles:—

" The review by the President of the Republic, which
had been announced some days since, took place yester-
day. At ten o'clock Prince Louis Napoleon arriveel at
Versailles in an open carriage, accompanied lei the
Minister of War, General Ckangarnier, and Genteel
Re gnier, his new aide de-camp, and drove direct -to
the house of the Marquis of Nernianby, from whom
he bad accepted an invitation to breakfast. The Nepau-
lose Ambassador, and the two English officers who
accompany him, were also present. After breakfast the
President cf the Republic mounted his horse and pro•
ceeded to the field, where he arrived at half-past
eleven. amidst loud cries of Vive Napole Viva
la Pi Liderel"rhe esenieg before the camp, which
had been formed by a company of engineers, to
the right of the ground near St. Cyr, was occupied by
the 4th, 56th, and 57th regiments of the line. The
rest of the troop;, composed of the 62d of the line, the
Ist and 3.1 Cerabineers, the Ist ,Lancers, 2d Chasteurs,
and two batteries of artillery, took up their positions in
the morning. On the arrival of the President the in-
fantry occupied the first line throughout the whole lei gth
of the ground ; the cavalry and artillery formed the
second. The Prince passed successively along the front
of the troops, and immediately afeerwards the ma-
t ceuvres commenced. A sharp fire of musketry, sup-
ported by the artillery,
was opened in the direction of
the camp, The cavalry, commanded by General Grouchy,
male several charges, to support the operations of the
in(aritrY, who afterwaiels retreated, covered by a fire cf
the light tro p 3. The maeceuvres concluded by charges
made by hattalion3 fermed into squares. These evolu-
