the relationships between the country at large and
the members of the Executive Government, either

On the answer to this question must to a great de-
gree depend the future fortunes fthe inchoate Min

/ The CoNSPIRATORS ON TRIAL IN FRANCE
Inc English papers publish copy of the indict
hleht preferred against the prisoners charged with
the attempt to assassinate the Emperor LOUIS Ma
FoLEoN. 1t Is very long, and the London Times in
commenting upon it, furnishes us with the following
"'iei sketches OF four of the prisoners

Wlekedness four are described in the terms of the
Indictment, as "residng usually" in certain parts
OF England. Now we beg leave to disclaim Very
sincerely the reputation thus reflected on u.s. and
undertake to make good our denial from the very
statements of the Acfe itself
we begin with Orsn described in the indict-

ehccted his escape at the end of March and is NOT
tracked to London again till the Both of January fol-
lowing. Now, considering that no fewer than 10
years OF TINS mans life are brought under review as
bearing upon his present position, it is we submit,
ny no means Just or reasonable that his "usuaP'
residence should be ascribed to country where he

that year he was expelled from the French

that MS stay here not continuous for he was at

Algeria and Italy, and only, from which some de-

England. "
Gomez ana Rudio, the two other prisoners now
on their trial, though both described again as ere
siding usually in England, appear to have had but
very little concern with us. of Rudio, the Procu
reur General simply observes, that .'he led a wan
derng life for many years., and does not trace him
to tins country until April, 1885, or assert that he
continued here without ntermission even from thai
period. ~ '-'''
vi Gomez it is said that ''the time when he en-
parked for England has not been exactly ascertained
but 1t Is certain that he had been there long
TIME before the first preparations for the crime Of
January IA were made" We beg to remark that
nothing of the kind is certain" but that on the
contrary the very opposite conclusion can be sub
tah'lated from the assertions of the Acte ITSELF
ne ASSASSINATION OF the Emperor was discussed,
says this document, between Pierri and Orsini at
the beginning of 1857.
