GAMBETTA.

The Judgment, 40 tar ms Relates 90 tho
Fine, VIII be Executed Immediately
His imprisonment WOuid Have
Insured Republican Success.
LONDON, September l2.-The Daily
News Paris correspondent says the
sentence against NJ. Gambetta and
Murat concludes as follows: +" 1t Is
ordered that judgment shall be exc
cuted immediately, Notwithstanding
opposition or appeal" According,
however, to the French code, provis.
lonal execution applies only to fine,
and Gambetta Ia not liable to imme-
diate Imprisonment. Gambetta's OBJ.
ject in allowing judgment by default
evidently is to delay the final judg.
ment on appeal until after the cleo
tons, In which his privilege as a
deputy will protect him from arrest,
and even, according to the prevalent
opinion, lead to his liberation, should
he be put in prison.
