Orsini is dead and buried, but the results
of his rash act continue to work. Ills at

Field Marshal l'clisscr, the Duke of Mala-

caves of Dcscra, and arranged matters in the
Ciimca SO as to LET the French have all the
reputation Of victory, leaving to the English
the defeat in the case of the Malakoii' and Of
the Redan. This appointment, announced by
the .noaiterr aud explained by the Constitn-

call him Il " mauvais c0ucheur'' dad bedfcl-

insertion of extracts from the first NapO-
Icons procamatiOns in the MoaiteW which
certainly cannot be taken for friendly pro-
ceeding toward Austria. at any rate, Ma
