VICTIMS OF RUSSIAN TYRANNY.—It may be re' membered that some time ago some Circassian chiefs e,caped from Russia into Prussia, and that they resisted the Prussian soldiers who were sent to arrest them, and wounded and killed several. A few days ago they were brought to trial before the Court of Assizes of Bromberg, on the charge of having violently resisted the armed force, and having committed murder. When the judge asked them if they were guilty or not, they answered, " We do not know if we are guilty or not, because we d 0 not know your laws." The tart of the charge, and jury convicted them on the fir, p acquitted them on the latter. They were condemned to two years' imprisonment The judge told them that there was nothing dishonourable in the condemnation, and that they would be treated with all the respect due to their rank. They answered, " We should prefer a condemnation to death here to a pardon is Russia. .  We have received he Paris journals of yesterday. They all acknowledge that the defeat of the Burgraves on Monday vas complete. The Univers says " The National Assembly has shrunk from a nasty conflict ; it has done well." The Assemblee Nationale, the organ of the Burgraves, is compelled to admit that in its opinion the National Assembly on Monday carried its moderation a little too far"—a very gingerly mode of s:ating that the Burgraves shrunk from the combat which the Executive had offered them. The Ordre says thtt " the Assembly has shown itself tolerant, and this, perhaps, was a wise policy," from which we gather that M. ODILON BARROT subscribes to FALSTAFF'S opinion, " that the better part of valour is di*cretior ;" while the Republique regards the sitting of Monday as the surrender at discretion of the Burgraves. " The Elysee," says this journal, " never could htve expected so great a success. CHANGARNIER and the Burgraves are definitely interred ; the chiefs of the Parliamentary Right can no longer dictate conditions, they will not even be admitted to negotiate. They will obey, and if it were needed M. BONAPIRTE would find among them very supple chamberlains." The Committee of Initiative met on Tuesday to consider the motion of which M. NOEL PARFAIT had given notice on the subject of the so-called extraordinary missions which the PRESIDENT of the Republic had confided to the representatives of the people. The Committee unanimously decided to recommend the Assembly to take the proposition of M. NOEL PARFAIT into consideration.  The miracle of the bleeding picture at St. Saturnin, the disbelievers in which were anathematised i❑ the Univers as children of SATAN, turns out to be a mere piece of trickery; the commission appointed by the Archbishop of AVIGNON to examine into the matter has reported tha: it is not a true miracle. The Minister of the Interior has directed that copies of the last mess3ge of the PRESIDENT shall be placarded in all the communes of France.  It is said that M. ROMIEU will be appointed to a mission in Syria. NARVAEZ will, it is said, be the new Spanish Minister in Pak.  M. DE ST. BEUVE, an important member of the majority, has presented a series of propositions. The first, favourable to free trade, demands the suppression of all export duties, and a reduction on the existing duty on iron of one-fifth during four years, so that in the fifth year there would remain a fixed duty of lf. The second is, that all foreign bottoms should be placed on the footing of French vessels. The third is free trade with the colonies. The fourth is relative to the establishment of a tax upon moveable property. The last demands the abolition of a Ministry of Commerce, and that its attributes should be annexed to those of the Ministry of the Interior. The Bonne was firm, with little business doing.
