Victor Hugo, his sons, aud the f'.,rty.s,x rein.
gees who have signed the prof., which sent you
with my last letter, haze been ordered TO leave
Jersey before the Cd Of November. Since the
Channel Islands sre not ruled under the English
common law, and the expulsion may be legal, still
it very questionable policy to identify the Gov
eminent of Dglsnd with Napoleon I'LL The time
may coon arrive when Lord PalmerstOn viii re-
eret the prescription of the thirty nine refugees
from Jersey, and the theory Of The Morning Post
that the crown may by its prerogative banish any
foreigner, though the alien act has expired, will
scarcely find many supporters in Parliament. In
fact the pera cutioD to which the refugees in Jer
sey are now subjected, will soon awaken the SYM
pathies Of the masses, and while Felix Pyats silly
letter is already forgotten the expulsion of Victor
Hugo makes every educated Englishmsn blush
As to Napoleon, his vanity is gratfed to the great
est extent England has become the tool Of his
policy so far that it expels Victor Hugo of the
greatest Of all living poets, at his bidding, from
the place which the poet selected for his refuge.
The COnstantinople correspondent Of the Trieste
Nems describes the generous way in which the
Russian prisoners Of are treated by the French
and the Turks on the Princes Isles in the Sea Of
Marmora. The Greeks of the Fanar did not dis
guise their sympathy with their cO-religiOnsts.
They lately opened a subscription for providing
the Russian officers among the prisoners with
some more comforts and those luxuries which the
capital affords to the wealthy but which were out
of the reach of the prisoners deputation waited
upon the officers and handed the result of the sub
scriptiOn to them, winding up their long speech
with three cheers for Russia and Gar Alexander.
The officers thanked them for the sympathy, but
reminded the Greeks that it might be wiser 10 give
three cheers for the sovereign Government under
whose protection they lived, and which generously
sympathies with such freedom. The advice of the
Russian prisoners made deep impr ,ssion upon
the Greeks, who did not expect to hear words OF
praise for the Sultan from Russian officers.
1t was believed in COnstantinope that General
MuTavieff had raised the siege of Kars. still the
official news of his retreat has rot as yet reached
the capital. The conviction Of the late pious
bankers. Sir john Deans Paul and Nessrs Strahan
and Bates, and the sentence which has been passed
on them of fourteen years transportation, for hay-
ING embezzled deposits to the amount Of above
one hundred thousand pounds have given general
satisfaction. They were defended by the most
eminent lawyers, and their intimate connection
with the great Sabbataran party secured every
advantage TO them which might bear upon their
case. Besides they had turned to their account
certain clause Of the bankruptcy bill, which gives
impunity TO those offenders who voluntarily dis
close their impostures. Sill their defense broke
down, the jury found them guilty, and Baron Alder
son sentenced them to transportation. Such was
the prestige which followed them even to Jail that
Mr. Hill, the governor of Newgste prison. sus-
pended the regulations of the jail in their favor,
and was in turn suspended fro Office by the visit
ing magistrates for such an infringement of dsci-
pine. The Times comments in the following words
MON the affair:
