Paris than there usually are, but is uncertain

The Paris Patric of the 22d ult, observes
The various interpretations lent to the law (Con-
spiracy bill of Palmerstonl must appear singular
IN france, where the language of penal law is so
clear and distinct. We NAV express astonishment
that the solution of a question of such paramount
Importance which gave rise to a misunderstanding,
now appeased between France and England; which
overthrew ministry, and which, at this very mo-
ment, inspires lively anxiety, should depend
solely on the Interpretation given to the law by a
Judge. Thus are matters conducted on the other
side of the Channel. 1t is not for us to interfere in
these customs, nor to seek to improve them, how
ever singular they may strike us. Provided the
cause OF justice be vindicated, little do care for
the means or the forms that are employed.

Nicholas had family connections with all Germany:
what was the assistance given him by Germany in

Prussia had for signal and standard a matrimonial
alliance with England it proceeds from a deeper
cause. 1t is the spirit of the nineteeth century

Baron StleglitZ, of st. Petersburg, has addressed
letter to the Independence Belge in which he con-
tradlcts the reports circulated by sundry journals
OF his house being largely engaged in the exporta-
tiOn of coin and bullion. He saws that his house
has not exported single gold piece on its account,
and does not traffic in half imperias except at the
legal price of rOubles l5 kopeks. Whatever ex-
ports have been made by him have been for the pur-
pose of covering government bills, so as to check
the progressive fall of the exchanges. In this he
has succeeded. No favor, he adds, has been ac-
corded to his house, to any others: and all that
he reoices in is the in which his signature
has been hOnored and thence contributed to facili-
tate commercial operations at a moment of serious
monetary depression.

NAPoLEON's MINISTRY AND THE LATE EXECUTIONS.
Ever since the event of January IL there were
rumors that VI. PletrTs position had become uncer-
tain, but it only, learn on Friday last that
he was made to understand that he had nothing to
40 but to resign. On that day the Emperor pre-
sided at council to determine on the fat of Orsini
Pierri, and di Rudio NJ. Petri whose nosition
as Prefect of Police naturally entitled his opin-
ion to much weight, spoke at great length in
avor of a Communication of punishment for all
the prisoners. He did not, of course, attempt
to eXtenuate their guilt, but he urged many
reasons tending to show that mercy would be
polite in the interests of the Emperor. re-
Drieve would, he said, produce an excellent effect
N France and Italy, more particularly in the latter
country, where, on the other hand, it was to be
eared that the execution of Orsni might produce
great excitement and rooted feeling of bitterness
which would not be without danger. While dwell
ing on this latter topic he was suddenly interrupted
Dy General Espinasse, who exclaimed loudly in a
sarcastic tone, .'Oh! have we got an Italian pa
.riot here?" NJ Pietri, who is Corsican, changed
color at this OmnOus reproof from the rising star of
the imperial court. He said, with some confusion,
that he not ashamed of the appellation but

Prince Napoleon has been appointed president of
to define the exact limits between the
Jurisdiction of the Prefect of Police and that of the
Prefect of the Seine-a subject upon which there
nave been frequent conflicts. The Prefect of the
Seine (M Haussmann) complains, it appears that the

anecdote, illustrative of the state of things during
the last days of NJ. Pietris administration. 1t is
usual when the Emperor is going out to telegraph
the fact from the Tuleries to the Prefecture in the
Rue de Jerusalem and then numerous police AGENTS
and out of uniform are despatched to the line of
route which he takes. But it very frequently
happens that the notice given is so short that the
Emperor is outside the barrier and in the Bois de
Boulogne before the police have arrived in the
Champs Elysees. NJ. Pietri deeply feeling the
weight ofhis responsibility, represented these facts
and asked to be furnished every morning with a
programme of the Emperor's movements, so that he
might be enabled to make proper arrangements in
time. The request was refused
