THE FRENCH Press AND PRUssIA-The tenor
of all the public journals is decidedly hostile to
Prussia, and to Count Bismarck personally. Eu-
rope must well understand that whatever arrange
ment may be patched up at present by diplomacy
can only be provisional: the principles which
Prussia has evolved may be brought to bear upon
her, and the sole limit to the delay will lie in the
opportunities which may present themselves to
generally held to be the enemy of mankind, but
nowhere is this feeling so prevalent as in FRANCE
tParis, August 81
The road from Rimini for the first three or four
miles was pretty fiat, but always with slight as
cent, but after that the country became very un
dulatng and the rises aud falls of the road very
steep. When about six miles from the mountain
we crossed little stream, and my driver told me
that we were win the republic of San Marine.
The circumference of the State is thirty nine miles,
the mountain, or orag, as it should be rather
called, rising nearly in its center.
The ground, with the exception of the rockitsef
is everywhere very fertile and we'll cultivated and
its value is considerably more than that of SINH
lar ground in the surrounding country, from the
absence of taxation and other advantages peculiar
to the republic, chief among which is the freedom
from military CONSUMPTION. Every male in San
Marine is, it is true, soldier, but this is very
minor evil when soldering involves no fighting or
absence from home. Although all are liable to be
called upon to serve in case of necessity only
those under certainage are on ordinary occasions
called out aud the strength of this regular army
of the republic is 500 men. Of these 700 form the
national guard, the remaining hundred the body
guard of the president. The uniform of alls blue.
of the body guard yellow, and of the band white.
| The national flag is blue and white The police is
administered by chief and five carbineers, whose
| uniform is dark blue, and white cross belts and
gray trousers, and is very similar to that of the
| carbineers Of the Italian service
| The five carbineers are, of course, always on
duty and are regularly salaried police. The army
only appear in uniform upon Sundays and .fete

A cellular carriage arrived here this morning
containing twelve young well grown girls, from
c0nvicts at the central prison at Clermont, Ohio.
Sixty more females of the same class are ex-
pected and the whole bevy will be embarked on
the Ceres transport for Cayenne, the government
having determined to take measures in earnest for
the population of that colony. These girls, several
of whom are remarkably handsome, are destined
| to become the wives Of eonvicts in Cayenne who
have distinguished themselves by industry and
good conduct. Each couple will be endowed with
grant Of land and sufficient loan to pay for an

[Touion Correspondence Of the Messenger du Midi
Aheartier burstiof laughter is seldom heard in
police court, than was lately during the hearing
| of a case before the Smythesdale (SCotch)
bench. A Chinese witness had to be sworn, but
the interpreter had not one lQGifer about him. The
want was at once supplied by legal gentleman
who carried supply in his waistcoat pocket. He
handed lighted match to the witness, and, after
the necessary words had been pronounced by the
interpreter, the witness essayed to blow out the
light. This, however, was a task beyond his
power, for the learned gentleman had supplied
match that burned brighter for being blown upon
The amazement Of the witness, and his ludicrous
attempts to extiDguish the match, would have
furnished splendid subject for the pencil of a
Smythesdale Hogarth, and excited the visibility
of all in the court, that twas some minutes before
business could be proceeded with.
