Again, we may ask, by whom are the " serious facts" to be decided on 7 Not by the public tribunals, or independent jurors. Far from it. It is by the petty subordinates of the police, who will accept the mere charge as " confirmation strong as proof of Holy Writ," who will strain every point to the utmost, and execute theiz orders without much regard to the legality or propriety thereof ; many of these persons will pre. fer simple banishment to the care that would be taken of them by the police authorities, the certainty of imprisonment in Algeria.

Now that the perfect unanimity with which these audacious and unjustifiable publications have been defied is apparent, we are assured that they were not intended as threats, but merely as a strong display of zeal and ardour in the cause of the Imperial Dynasty. Creclat .Tudcetts Apellas. If not as threats, for what were they intended. The EMPEROR and his flunkies may rest assured that England will neither be bullied nor cajoled into becoming a department of the Empire, and that the menaces of his rude soldiers, and the persuasive eloquence of his diplomatists, will alike fail in inducing England to depart from the even tenor of her way, and maintaining her glorious constitution unchanged and unchangeable through a long succession of ages yet to come.
