ACQUITTAL OF DIR. BERNARD.-By the Borus-
sia, which brings one day later news from Eu-
rope, we have intelligence of the acquittal of
Doctor Bernard, the Frenchman who was tried
in London on charge of conspiring with
Orsini and Pierri against the life of the Empe-
Tor. The reader will find elsewhere an excel
lent abstract Of the eloquent speech for the de-
fence delivered by the prisoners counsel, Mr..
Edwin James
II was to the effect of this speech that the ver-
dict of the jury was mainly due. The evidence
was certainly very telling against the prisoner.
His completely with Rudio and the other con-
spirators was very fairly made out. 1t was
shown that he was aware Of what was going on,
that he purchased part of the materials used in
the composition Of the bombs, and that he off,
ciated as the best friend of the conspirators in
England. No person, on calm review of the
evidence, can doubt but that Bernard was real
" guilty to greater or less degree, and de-
served greater or less punishment. Yet the
jury, seemingly without difficulty agreed to ac-
quit him.
They must have done go because, in their
opinion, the Emperor of the French is so po-
tent usurper and go decided tyrant that it is
almost allowable to take his life. This is the
English of the verdict. The jury saw before
them the massacres which preceded Louis Ma
poleOn's rise to power, and of which Mr.. James
drew moving and vivid picture, and they
came to the conclusion that, after all, Rudio
and his fellow conspirators were only resorting
to fair reprisals. The verdict is the most crush
ing censure that has perhaps ever been render
cd upon the Imperial system in France
Other incidental matters also had weight with
the jury. The course recently pursued by the
French press toward England quite justified Mr..
James in telling the jury that the Emperor Of
France demanded the life of this man, or else
he would make war" To expect verdict from
an Anglo Saxon jury under such threat as this
was of course out of the question. They would
have acquitted Bernard ten times over rather
than appear to be coerced into convicting him
by the warlike demonstrations of the French.
The event will prove a wholesome lesson to
the Emperor. Ever since the affair Of the Rue
Lepelletier he has acted with unusual indiscre-
ton and folly. He has brought the alliance to
the verge Of ruin. He has done himself great
injury, and raised the hopes of the crazy revo-
lutionists to pitch which they never reached
before since the establishment of the empire
This last check viii doubtless sober the Empe-
ror's feelings, and correct the error in which he
seems to labor, with regard to the extent and
scope of hie dominions
