year. There are the usual quantity of artists,
who are generally too much absorbed in obtain

FRANCE.


Gambeita Condemned to Emprisonmenf
PARIS, Sept. 11.-Gambetta and Murat, the
publisher of the Republique Franchise were
to have appeared before the tenth chamber of
the correctional police to answer for delivering
and publishing the formers Lille speech. Meth
er responded, Gambetta in consequence of ILL
ness. His counsel lodged petition for ad-
journment of the trial one week, which was re-
fused. An entry of default was made against
Gambetta and Murat, and Gambetta was con-
demned in default to three months imprison-
ment and fine of 1000 francs. The public
were excluded from the palace of Justice where
the tribunal was sitting.
The judgment against Gambetta is based up
on his and Murat's admission before the judge
d,instructlon that the speech was published by
his (Gambetta's order. The judgment points
out in detail the culpability of ten passages in
the speech, and particularly declares that the
passage in which Gambetta said President Mac
Mahon must submit to the decision of the ma
ton or resign, was threat constituting an at
tack on the loyalty, honor, dignity, and conse-
queDtly on the person of the President of the
Republic. The judgment will be communicat-
ed to Gambetta this evening. An appeal will
be taken which will be heard Sept. 10th.
More Newspapers Seized.
The police this evening seized five of the
principal Republican papers, including LIE
Temps, La France and LeBien Public. 1t is
believed the seizure was made in consequence
the publication of report of the trial or for
violent articles. The Pays, Bonapartist or
gan, was also seized. The seizures, however,
were only maintained as regards LIE Bien Pub
| ic
A subscription has been opened in Paris for
a monument to Theirs.
The sentence against Gambetta and Murat
conbludes as follows: SIT is ordered that judg-
ment shall be executed Immediately notwith-
standing opposition or appeal" According,
however, to the French code, provisional execu-
ton applies only to the fine, and Gambetta,
therefore, is not liable to immediate imprison-
ment.
Gambetta's object in allowing Judgment to
go by default evidently is to delay the final
Judgment on appeal until after the elections,
when mis- privilege as deputy will protect him
from arrest, and even, according to the preva-
lent opinion, lead to his liberation should be be
in prison.
