Some foreign papers affect to be quite astonisbed
at the demand made by France ~ the ncighb ring
governments Of the Continent, calling upon them to
the removal of dangerous refugees from their
frontiers.
In making such demand France has done moth
ing more than what she has a right ~ do. She has
only had recourse TO that which is between nations
a reciprocal and international right
Nobody was astonisbed last year when Switzer-
land made demand upon the French government,
calling upon II to came the Swiss refugees who
~ere in favor of restoring Neufchatel to the King Of
Prussia tn be removed from the frontier TO the inte
rior of france.
Nor again, was anybody surprised when Spain
called upon to havs the Carlist refugees removed
into the interior on which occasion the Spanish Cor
tes returned thanks 70 the Emperor for having pre-
vented civil war by the measures he adopted to-
wardsthose refugees.
1t is manifest therefore that France has only pur
sued in what she has done line Of conduct found
ed upon positive principle of International law,
which has always been in force in every age, among
civilized nations
From the Paris Constitutional of March 10.
The Monit1ur has overthrown and refuted in few
plain and simple words all the caluRnies of the Lon
don Times. This is distinguished honor conferred
that journal, which it has not deserved, neither
account of its sincerity nor of its honesty But
in fact there are some kinds of calumnies and false
assertions which ia impossible to pass by in silence
even when they proceed from journal which is
Justly held in disrepute for the constant and syste
matte party'coloring which disfgures oil its state
ments. Besides, it is very proper that both France
and all Europe should Know what are the lying
means and methods by the aid of which certain i'm
pudent writer's are abOring to misead public opinion
in England.
We also had perused this article in the Times
But We took no notice Of il, because we cannot be
employed every day in giving answers to the lies
and impostures of this English Journal, which is en-
gagged in carrying on an uncessng warfare against
our country by virulent attacks and envenOmed ar

particularly struck us in reading this last libel Of the
Times against the government of the Empire, and
against Us as a patton. We may Us well say word
or two on the subject
If there is anything in the world calculated to
disgust man of proper feeling, it is when he
hears thing roundly asserted as a positive
fact, which is notorious falsehood, and
which any one could at the very instant
cuts loose from all the laws of common honesty
(Which for augbt we know ought to be quite as
binding upon journalists az upon private persons)
when it asserts that the Emperor never goes out
of Paris without being surrounded by q numerous
and well armed escort.
To resute this assertion there il no necessity 10
appeal TO the recoections of those persons who are
in the habit Of meeting the Emperor every day alone
and unattended In the Bos de Boulogne or in the
Champs Elysees. Most of these persons no doubt
have often wished that what the Times asserts was
true, when they have seen with what tranquil con-
ideDce and ease the Chief Of the State conides in
III
protection of the Most High. Whatever may
be the perfdious intentions and purposes OF
the Times that journal is most assuredly
destitute Of all excuse for its conduct In retailing
such scandaous faisehoods. The Times has cores
pondents at Paris. Why then, does il not call upon
them for correct information on such matters which
are familiarly known to everybody at Paris? But
in saying thus much we forget that the Times has
taken its part and would be quite unhappy if it did
not calumniate and tell lies.
Another point ought to be noticed. The Times
draws an imaginary picture OF the conduct of the
police in private drawing rooms and parties Now,
as here the question IL merely about q fact which
the commonest Paris lounger may prove to be false,
we shall be less severe with the Times as to this
particular Besides II would he very unjust of 10
require that certain correspondents Of the Times
should be well posted up as 10 what happens in
places where they never have q chance Of putting
their feet Hence, therefore, az to these places the
Times has only one chance, and that is TO invent,
and accordingly IL docs invent. AL such tales a.
these only deserve 10 be banshed 10 the domain of
romance addiction aud therefore not word more
will we say about them.

Our usually quiet city on Saturday last thrown
into quite an excitement by the arrest Of Prussian
subject, by the name of Edward Desling, under the
extradition treaty existing with that government
and the United States, under a charge of forgery
and fraud. II appears that Desing, under the as
sumed name Of Leroy, had been stopping at the st.
Francis Hotel for several days. On Friday Madame
Leroy, young, handsome and interesting lady, ar
rived from Chicago, and joined her husband ut the
St. Francis. Following in the train OF the unsus.
pecting lady were four individuals, one Of whom had
kept an eye upon her every movement since she had
left Chicago. The names Of the mysterious suite

Prussia, and Mr.. Lapau, New York attorney, who
registered his name on the hotel books as Samuel
johnson.
Immediately after their arrival an interview was
had with Mr.. John W. Sauner, the City Marshal, ~
whom was shown document emanating from his
Excellency James Buchanan President Of the United
States, emblazoned upon which was the broad seal
Of the Department OF State, nstructing all federal

him at the city OF Cologne, In the Kingdom OF Prus
sia, during the month oi February. 1857. The Cir
cult and Criminal Judge both being absent from the
city, Marshal Saunor after consulting with the Mayor
and Justice Smedley concluded to arrest at an early
hour on Saturday, the accused, and hol him under
surveillance until the arrival Of Of the Judges
when an examination Of the charges against Des-
ling could be had under warrant Of arrest, 10 be
granted by them. At an early hour Marshal Sauner

his lady had given birth 10 an American citizen,
and the Marshal being an intense American, he de-
cned invading their private sanctuary, and quietly
waited until Desng was entering the breakfast
ROOM when he took him into custody and conducted
him 20 private room OF the hotel, accompanied by
the parties who had come in pursuit Of him. After
short conversation Desng requested a tefe-a tet,
with the Marshal which was Granted. AZ soon as
the other parties retired he told Sauner that six
hundred dollars was all the money he h,d on earth,
and that he would give him FIVE hundred and leave
the other hundred with his wife If he would give
him an opportunity 10 escape. Upon his being in
formed that che had mistaken the metal he was
dealing with, he grew somewhat furious, and made
a demonstration toward drawing knife but quick
ly abandoning al ettemps st resistance he became q
passive instrument again in the hands Of his captor
IL soon became noised about the city that some
foreign body snatchers from Austria and Prussia as
sisted by the police of New York and Chicago, had
arrested fugitive from tyranny for some political
offence, end intended 10 convey him away by the
