TEE ACou1rrAL OLE BERNARD.

One Of the most exciting political trials held in
England during the present century has just ter.
minated in the acquittal Of DR.. SIMON BERNARD, a
French refugee residing in England, and who has
been indicted for being an accessory before the fact
to the murder Of one NICHOLAS BATTL The trial
was simply for MURDER and the person killed had
no political influence or importance; but the fact
that the death of BATH was the result Of the recent
attempt to sssassinste the EMPEROR NAPOLEON,
necessarily brought another and far Weightier is
sue into the trial, and made it more Of political
than criminal prosecution.
An indictment, was found against BERNARD for
oonspiring to assassinate the Emperor. But as, by
the defeat of the Conspiracy bill in Parliament, the
offence still remains misdemeanOr not punishable
by death, it was determined, in view Of what was
deemed irrefragable proof Of BEREARD's completely
in ORsIyI's plot, to find an indictment for murder
against him under an act Of Parliament which
could only be technically made applicable to the
case, and which his counsel denounced as mock
cry and a sham" Hence, although under ordinary
circumstances the fact Of BERNARD's sending to
Paris the explosive shells and the revolvers found
upon the persons Of ORsIE and PERI or Of his
despatching RUDIo to act as the confederate Of
ORsINI. might be considered to be abundantly es-
tabished by the evidence the belief that the govern
ment we're acting in the interest of the French gov
eminent, and were bent upon procuring victim to
the uuappeased wrath Of the Frorch Emperor by a
perversion Of the time honored precepts Of English
Law, seems to have been upPermOst in the minds Of
the jury and their verdict may be considered mani
festo of the English people in favor, not Of assana
ton, but of the right Of asylum, aud indication
that, at the present moment, any attempt to con-
strue Law to please the Emperor will be Indignantly
denounced. If BERNARD had been an ordinary
criminal and this had been an ordinary murder
trial. he would have been convicted at once but
being the victim Of what in the popular estimation
is an obsequous concession to the spirit Of despo-
tism the crime that he has committed is lost sight
of in the greater wrong sought to be inflicted upon
HIM He is still under an indictment for conspiracy
and as the punishment is as for misdemeanor only,
aud the offence is amply oognzable under the laws
Of England, it is quite probable that he may be
found guilty His acquittsl is reported to have
created quite a sensation throughout France and to
have given serious offence to the Emperor The
jealousy between these two rival governments is
increasing daily and is threatening the peace Of Eu
rope.
