PRICE 4D. • STA WIRED 5/1 .]  Napoleon, who had been pardoned for his first invasion, was lightly and mercifully punished for this second one, by condemnation to imprisonment at Ham. • It is a historical fact, then, proved by the archives of the highest French Court of Justice, that Louis Napoleon, with his friend Persigny, actually levied, while a refugee in England, an army of 53 men I He chartered an English steamer, which he turned to a vessel of war. He printed in England proclamations, declaring that the Bourbons had ceased to reign, and thereby compassed the dethrtnsment, and perhaps the death, of Louis Philippe, our ally 1 Nor were these guilty acts, which constitute a misdemeanour by our laws, the whole of his offence against those laws, and the laws of a friendly Government ; for he invaded its waist, proclaimed himself Emperor, tampered with its soldiers, and would have shot its officer in the execution of his dutjr. After doing all this, he escaped from the prison in which he was so leniently confined, fled again to England anti .7vas again protected by her, and now, by his' moutbp'ece, denounces the laws•which both of them violatid with impunity ! It is hard to say which is moat revolting--their ingratitude Or insolence The most disgraceful incident in the expedition to Boulogne was the attempt on the 'life of Captain ColPuygellier, by both Louis Napoleon'and Persigny. Capt. Col-Puygellier was disarmed, and ,hie men •had joined the Bonapartist!. Louis Napoleon offered him whatever be wished if he would only declare for him, and Captain Puygellier, having nobly iefased to desert his flag and King; Persigny endeavoured to; bayonet -him ! Ttie following extract from the trial chows how this intention was viewed by the Chamber of Peers : • "M. Persigny, having been next interrogated, ad— witted that he landed at Witnereux, being informed of the Prince's object, but not in detail. He wee, he said, at the barracks near the Prince, and when Captain Cl..t, Puygellier came, would have killed him; had he not been I prevented by M. Aladenize 1 rreslaest-4Pleckhita. 11 would have beim Aitir4er -4‘lll. Pereigiay*l Weald,hase killed him) batit Woad have been face to face.  " President—You went up with a musket and fixed bayonet I You would have murdered him ! " M. Persigny—l have made my declaration : I have nothing to add. I have brought my bead 'here, let them biro it," So this Ambassador, who reads us lectures on Assn' !nation, and demands repressive laws against the freedom of the press, clubs, private and public meetings, was ready to bayonet an unarmed man because he would not be a traitor, and was only prevented by a manly .traitor from being a cowarily assassin ! He was told this twice to his face by the President of the Court of Peers, and he shamelessly repeated that, if be could, " he would have been" a " murderer !"  What Persigny, or Fialin (for his real name is Fialin), Teas not permitted to do, Louis Napoleoi attempted. He fired at Puygellier when his back was turned, and only missed him, it reems, by bis own account, because his courage failed him ! The trial supplies us with the authentic version of this great Napoleonian feat, Tho following is the question put to the " Emperor," and the " Emperor's" reply : Question.—" Did you not, finding that you amid not win Captain Col Puygellier to your cause, fire a pistol at that officer ? Answer.-L-" There are moments when we do that of which we are unconscious. The pistol went off against my will."  Such are the men who insult England as "a den of wild locaqs" and "n.ssaesim," and Snob is their light to arraign her laws, and to demand the abrogation of them. Napoleon the First, on his deathbed, deliberately justified assassination, and Napoleon the Third adopted his will, and paid his legacy to the assassin. His amhas. seder in England at tl-;i4 moment was accused from the highest judgment seat in France with being willing to "murder ;" and, being so accused, he had the cynical audacity to tell the Court that he was I Napoleon the Third was himself within an nce of doing what Persigcy " would" have done; and his defence against the charge cf murder was the plea of cowardie-, tbat "the pistol went off against his will !"--Correspondent of the Morning Advertiicr,
