effort to raise the ship with artificial appliances about

| The scandal produced in Paris by the trial of M Tese
and his conederates is painful and revolving Since the
memorable trial of Lord Melville we in England have
had instance, except in the of the late Lord Cas-
tleeagh, wherein minister OF the crown has been even
accused OF bribery and corruption.
We think that English ministers OF the present day are
not obnoxious to such charge and only regret that
France has not made similar progress in political virtue.
From the moment we read the act OF accusation against
NJ Teste and his confederates felt that the weight Of
evidence overwhelming of his guilt. Bold and col

witnesses in person, and maintained throughout the most

authorities made process verbal of the transaction M

cautions against any repetition of the attempt at self de-
