souTv, the two officers killed at Ottheite, mentioned
fifty-two wounded. Everybody was struck with the
singular circumstance of only two officers having been
killed in the combat at Mabahana, and of their being
officers. Unhappily there has been an omission in the
official report. According to our information, the
slain amount in number to se►enteen."

The Siecle improves on this, and gives the following
as a true and faithful account :

" Although the latest news from Otaheite, published
in the Ministerial journals state, the loss of the French
at the attack of Alahahana at two officers killed and 52
privates wounded, it appears that the Government has
not published all the information which it received as to
that unfortunate affair. A letter has been communicated
to us, in which it is stated that, besides two officers
killed and 52 men wounded, we left more than 40 sea-
men or marines dead on the field. This letter adds, that
the plan of the intrenchments raised by the rebels was
given by British officers, and that the report of the Com-
mandant Bruat, received by the Ministers officially,
announces this fact."

The same journal thus attacks M. GuizoT, on the
plea that he dare not accept an offer of vast import-
ance to France, just made by a deputation from the
republic of Nicaragua :

"It is well known that there are at this moment at
Paris envoys from the republic of Nicaragua, who have
officially proposed to M. Guizot to place that State under
the protectorate of France. A proposal of this nature
should admit of no hesitation on the part of the French
Government. After having accepted the overtures of
Queen Pomare to seize upon an insignificant point in
the Archipelago of the South Seas, he cannot refuse
an appeal made to France by a nation placed on the
American continent, at the entrance of the isthmus
which separates, and which will, perhaps, join the
two oceans. England has given us the example, by
establishing herself at Belize and by taking possession
of the island of Ruatan, in the bay of Honduras. What
England has effected without the consent, or rather
against the will of the natives, France has certainly a
right to do at the wish of the natives solemnly expressed.
Moreover we cannot understand how the Minister Of
the cordial understanding should meet with the slightest
impediment from a power to which he generously sacri-
ficed our interests in Otaheite. M. Guizot, after such a
service, ought to find Lord Aberdeen the soul of bene-
volence and of conciliation. The reasons we have ad-
duced have, no doubt, prevented M. Guizot from reply-
ing by a direct and immediate refusal to the overtures
made to him by the envoys from Nicaragua. He has not
dared to dismiss them, for fear of engaging his responsi-
bility by an act which would have completely disclosed
the system of fear always, and fear everywhere. But what
the servant of England does not openly he hopes to
accomplish by a tortuous course, and by gaining time.
We are assured that M. Guizot signified to the
envoys from Nicaragua that they should wait. 'Go
softly,' said he to them. Go softly, and why ? Is
France, then, fallen so low, that nations who, on
the faith of her ancient fair fame, come to solicit
her protection become an embarrassment for her ?
Is a nation which may be considered as having re-
ceived from Providence a mission to initiate the
world into the arts of civilization, at present to repu-
diate her great destiny ? Is she alone to fear to defend
her property or to maintain her right ? Must she de-
mand the permisssion of England before she can extend
her arms to the east or the west ? These are questions
which will naturally be asked when it is known what
anxiety M. Guizot feels on account of the proposal made
by the delegates of Nicaragua. And such is the opinion
conceived of his courage, that it is believed the delay
caused by him will end in a refusal."

LOUIS PHILIPPE was to leave Paris on Wednesday
evening for the Chateau d'Eu, preparatory to his de-
parture for England. He was to be accompanied to
Eu by M. GUIZOT and Admiral MACKAU, who will
also attend his MAJESTY to Windsor. The squadron,
under Admiral LA SussE, which is to carry his MA-
JESTY to Portsmouth, is ordered to assemble at Tre-
port on the sth of next month, but his MAJESTY will

not embark till the evening of the 7th. The French
QUEEN and Royal Family are to remain at St. Cloud
until the return of his MAJESTY.

THIS DAY'S NEWS.

MIDDLESEX REGISTRATION
COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
L. SHADWELL, Esq., the barrister, appointed to revise
the lists of voters for the county of Middlesex, held a
Court this morning at White Conduit House, Islington,
for that purpose.
Messrs. Coppock and James appeared for the Liberals,
and were assisted by 11. T. Atkinson, Esq., who was
specially retained to watch the cases on the part of the
Liberals. Mr. J. Payne appeared for the Conservatives.
The lists of voters in the following parishes were ap-
pointed for revision to-day :—lslington, Clerkenwell, St.
Luke's, St. Sepulchre, Stoke Newington, Liberty of the
Bulls, St. Marylebone, St. Pancras, Paddington, St.
Botolph Without, Aldersgate ; Saffron-bill, Hatton-
garden, and Ely-rents, St. George's, Bloomsbury ; St.
Giles and the united parishes of St. Andrew Holborn
above bars, and St. George the Martyr.
On the Revising Barrister taking his scat,
Mr. Coppock objected to the proceedings being com-
menced, on the ground that the notices appointing the
places where the lists of voters were to be revised were
signed by the Clerk of the Peace, which he (Mr. Cop-
pock) contended was contrary to the Act of Parliament,
which specified that the lists were to be signed by the
whole of the barristers appointed to conduct the revision
Mr. SHADWELL was:ofopinion that it wasinot requisite.
for the notices to be signed by the barristers to make
them legal. All that was required of him was to give
notice to the Clerk of the Peace where he intended to
hold his courts. Last year the notice was not signed by
any one, and he had seen lists in Oxfordshire which were
not sigued by the revising barristers.
The matter then dropped.
The revision of the list of voters for Islington was then
derd as
and the solicitor who at-
tended proceeded with, but no cases of interest occurred. The
Liberals made no objections against voters in that parish,
whilst the Conservatives made 17, and sustained 10.
In the Clerkenwell district Mr. Penton's name was

(Before C. D. Monrr a, Esq.)
GRHATOIFON._(THIS DAY.)
The revision of the list of voters for St. Pancras
parish was continued from yesterday.
Mr. C. Burchell, the proctor, claimed to have his
name placed on the register on behalf of a house which
he occupied in Gordon-place. His claim was refused,
because he neglected to state, in making his claim, that
his qualification was a continuous occupation of two
houses in the same parish, having removed within twelve
months from a house for which he had been previously
placed on the register.
Several persons who occupied premises for business
purposes, claimed to have their names placed on the
register, but their applieations were rejected, because
they had neglected to describe their places of abode.
Mr. Newby, of No. 73, Clarendon-street, claimed to
have his name placed on the register. His name had
been left out of the list in consequence of the collector
of the poor-rates having returned him as not having paid
his rates before the time required by the Act of Parlia-
ment, which was an error. Mr. Newby complained of
the trouble to which he had been put through the col-
lector's mistake. His name was accordingly placed on
the list.
Mr. Greenwood, who was about to object to a claim,
was stopped by
The REVISING BARRISTER, who decided that no
objection could be made against a claim unless notice
had been given in writing.
The Revising Barrister will complete the St. Pancras
list in the course of the day, and will sit in the Pad-
dington vestry to-morrow, to revise the list of voters for
that parish.
The Reformers made 106 objections in this district,
and sustained 98 ; the Conservatives made 829, and sus-
tained 300.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Two little boys, named Thomas Pearson and John
Phillips, were charged before Mr. Jardine with stealing
a lease of some houses from the coat-pocket of Mr.
John Delacour.

The prosecutor stated that he was passing along Great
Compton-street with a parchment lease for twenty•one
years in his pocket. As he was passing along the street
he felt something at his coat-pocket, and on turning
round he saw the two prisoners running away. He felt
in his pocket, and found that the lease was gone. The
prisoners managed to get out of sight, but he gave in-
formation to the police, and from the description given
of them, Thompson, one of the officers, went in search
of them, and found them near Seven Dials, and on search-
ing them the lease was found upon reason.
