Prance. - The So-Called Journals Of Orde...
PRANCE . - The so-called journals of order had counted on the reception of Kossutb at Southampton being a complete failure . They exhibit their disappointment in sneers . The ' Presse' aud other democratic papers enter with enthusiasm into the grandeur of this -welcome , which they regard as an era in the history of nations . Kossuth ' s speech is given in full , and reads admirably in French . -The ambiguous explanations of the ' Debats ' re . Jative to the intentions of the Prince de Joinville , Have disconcerted the bulk of the leading Orleanists , Who counted hitherto upon the certainty of the
Prince ' s acceptance . This party now wish to know the definitive decision of the younger branch , and desire some certain pledge bv which to rule their proceedings . They have accordingly held a meeting at tbe house of one of their chiefs , and decided to despatch a confidential envoy to C / aremont to learn as distinctly as possible , tbe views of the Prince and his family . In the meantime , the candidature of Joinville is making progress ; particularly in Normandv , where they say tbat he is pretty sure to carry ' the day . In tbe departments of the south the leg itimists incline to the candidature of Chan-Marnier , which is assiduously preached by their local press .
' M . de Lamartine sends , from his retirement at Monceaux , an emphatic protest against all rupture of legality in the crisis of 1852 . He will go no fnrtber than the repeal of the law of May 31 st , the partial revision of the Constitution , the possibility of the legal candidature of the President ; but will not admit any propaganda in favour of this candidature . Outside the Constitution lie every sort of adventure , and tbe transgression of it will lead to ruin . NKW MINISTRY .
The new cabinet has been at last formed , and Vias announced in the' Moniteur' on Monday last , The names are as follow-. —Justice , M . Coibin , Procureur-General of the Court of Appeal of Bourges ; Foreign Affairs , M . Turgot , formerly peer of Prance ; Public Instruction , M . Charles Giraud , member of the Institute ; Interior , M . de Thorigny , formerly Advocate-General of the Court of Appeal at Paris ; Commerce , M . Casablanca , representative ; Public Works . M . Lacrosse , Vice-Preeident of the
Assembly ; War , General de St . A maud , Commander of tbe Second Division of the Army of Paris ; Marine , M . Hippolyte Fortoul , representative ; Finance , M . Blonde ] , Inspector-General of Finance . M . Charles Giraud is charged , ad interim , with the Ministry of Justice , during the absence of 31 . Corbia . M . Turgot is charged , ad interim , with the Ministry of Finance during the absence of M . Blondel . M . de Maupas , Prefect of the Haute-Garonne , is appointed Prefect of Police .
Of the new ministers MM . Casablanca , Lacrosse , St . Arnand , Giraud and Fortoul are decided Bonapartists . AIM . de Thorigny , Corbin and Blondel , are extra parliamentary , and rather of the order ot ordinary functionaries than statesmen . The new ministry were assembled on Sunday last at the Elyses , where they held a conference from two to five- Emile de Girardin says;— ' Whatever be the character of the new cabinet , tbe ministers who propose to repeal the law of May 31 st , seed only this reason to have the support of all who do not desire civil war . '
Disturbances have taken place in tbe Var . The prefect having ordered the closing of a democratic dub at GarJe-Urelnet , and the members having broken the sealed doors and met in despite of the authorities , a considerable force of gendarmes and troops of tbe line marched against them from Draguhjnan , and took nine prisoners , among whom was the apothecary of the place . An immense mob , of which the female portion displayed excessive fury , followed with the-. r clamours and cnjfiea for two miles tbe departing escort , incendiary fires broke out on tbe nights of tbe 21 st and 22 nd ult . in the house of the mayor and of bis predecessor in o & ee . An inhabitant who bad attempted to check the populace was fired at and wounded .
There are no men of political importance on the new cabinet . Apparently the most important member of the ministry is Count Turgot , Minister of foreign Affairs , who was a member of the Chamber of Peers under the late monarchy , and is a descendant of tbe celebrated Minister of Finance of Louis XVI . Tbe lustre of his name and the distinction of his antecedents caused the report of his accession to the cabinet to be received with great jealously by the parliamentary party , whose chief organs , tbe * Ordre * aud « Messager , ' repeatedly contradicted this fact . The Ministers of Public Works and Commerce are Bonapartists , the others being
Reactionaries . M . Hippolyte Fortoul , Minister ot Marine , is also an Elysean , aud a member of the Assembly , where he represents the department of tbe Basses-Alpes . M . Fortoul began life as a literary man , with Radical political principles , and distinguished himself by contributions to the' Revue de Paris / * L'Artiste , ' and the 'National . ' During tbe latter years of the reign of Louis Philippe , M . Fortoul obtained the professorship of litera . ure at Ail , since which period his politics have veered round to Conservatism . His name has been frequently mentioned in the latter ministerial crisis . M . Fortoul was formerly a Saint Simonian . He is a fluent speaker .
GERMAN r . TSIAL OF TUB PERSONS IMPLICATES IN THE LIBERATION OJ ? KINKEL . Advices from Berlin dated the 22 nd ult ., state that the trial of a turnkey of the prison at Spandan , named Brune , and the landlord of a public-COUSe in the same place ; Krager , for assisting the escape of Professor Kinkel from the prison on the night of the 6 th of November last , came on the day before at tbe criminal court . A student , named Schurz , was also included in the charge , bat as he has fled the country the evidence as against him was not taken . The proceedings excited considerable interest ; though several political prisoners bad
escaped from the fortresses to which they had been consigned , it was not considered extraordinary , as within the wails they had a certain degree of freedom of movement , and could keep up a correspondence with persons outside the fort . But Kinkel , who had been convicted of treason , was in close confinement , and treated in every respect as a felon , wearing the convict dress , and having to spin wool as an occupation . He waarigidly watched , and his prison had been changed more than once as a precaution . The cell he inhabited was on the second stage of the building , in the interior ; it had two grated windows , and was divided into two portions by a latticed screen . At night Kinkel was lucked into the inside division , and the outer one was closed by two strong wooden doors fastened with iron . The two keys were deposited every evening
with one of the chief officers of the prison . On the evening of the 6 th of November tbe cell was closed as usual ; at half-past five o ' clock tbe next morning it was found empty . The outer door was locked , but the latticed screen and the inside door had been broken through . The prisoner must have had help from tbe outside , and suspicion fell on the turnkey Brune , who was immediately arrested , Kinkel , natwithstandisg all the < fforts of the police , escaped to England . The trial , it was expected , would throw some light on the manner in which the escape was effected , and it is , in fact , described in the admission made by the turnkey himself during the preliminary inquiry . He stated , — ' In the middle Of Ociober of last year he was one day called out of the prison to speak to an unknown person in the street . He first refused to go , but at last went out , and found a young man , who claimed
acquaintance with him as a fellow-countryman , asked after Kinkel ' s health , and finally requested hinrto convey some letters to the prisoner . The young man was a student named Schurz . He had many ioterviews with him afterwards , and at last he waj offered 400 thalers and a provision for life , if he wou'd effect Kinkel ' s escape . He was on the other hand threatened with ' eternal persecution ' if he divulged anything about the offer . At last be consented . M . Kmg « r having become guarantee for the reward to be paid him , and persuaded him mat : u was unjust M . Kinkel should be any longer confined . 0 n u , e 28-h of October Schurz proposed tne p . an . He was to obtain falSe keys to the in-00

He was first to gamoverthe man who wW ha ? eT d ^ fo , the night of the 5 th of November . After several vara attempts he succeed in doing s « d the escape was fixed for the ni ght of the otb ; hut he plan was defeated by the accident of the Inspector taumg the keys of the cell with him . The next night he got possession of them by opening the press in the Inspector ' s office where they werekept ; bat instead of letting the prisoner out at the door ) „~ l ° 2 k h thr 05 , 8 several work roams to au « , grated wmdow on tbe first floor .

waiting in the street with a strorig . rope ; which he pulled up to the window . by a packthread ; Kinkel tied it round his waist , and was thus lowered into the street . ' -: - , ' * . ' in an after examination Brune denied he had ever actually received any money , asserting he had aided the escape out of mere humanity . -One hundred and fifty-one tbaters were found in hisftoom , fifty of them in gold ; but he produced evidence f $ om the Savings Bank that the sum bad been withdrawn from it , and belonged to , his wife and son . The jury , however , did not believe he had been misled by his humane sentiments alone . The popular character of his avocation was against him— ' Seldom when
The steeled gaoler is the friend of men ;' and it assumed he had been promised a bribe , if he had not actually received one . The trial lasted till a late hour of the evening , when the jury , to the questions put by the court , found him guilty of wilfully assisting the escape of a stale prisoner for a promised toward in money , He was sentenced to three years'imprisonment in tbe House of Correction , and deprivation of civil rights ; with a declaration of unfitness to hold any Government employment hen after , Uudw the oW penal code the punishment would have been more seie'e . Kruger was found juilty as an accessory , but the jury being divided , seven to five , on the question , tbe Court had to determine for a conviction or acquittal , and considering the evidence imperfect , discharged him . A correspondent , writing from Vieiua , says : —
• Kossuth ' s reception in England , the great meetings held in his honour , the loud expression of anti-Austrian sentiments in the bold and simple language ol our country is not without effect . The rage of the government and the court , and of a great part of the army , is incredible , it grows and increases with every hour , notwithstanding the misrepresentations and calumnies which certain journals of the metropolis of Austria are forced to print . Kossuth is called all kinds of names . He is hated and despised by his countrymen , according to the same authority . The people of Hungary are represented deploring the weakness which induced them to listen to the insiduous eloquence of a God-forgotten traitor and rebel . I will not take the trouble to quote
from any of tbe newspapers , but . simply state in contradiction of their assertions , that I have had frequent opportunities of conversing with Magyars and with disinterested impartial individuals not desirous of misstating anything . I learn , that the mass of the people still adhere with obstinate firmness to the belief tbat Kossuth will one day or other return to re-raise the Hungarian national standard ; the impoverished by the war do not curse him ; the wounded do hot blame him ; the exiled do not accuse him . Kossuth remains the idol of three-fourths of the people . His patriotism and energy , his simplicity in power , and dignity in misfortune , compel and facinate tht admiration and affection of all true Magyars . '
The Prussian parliament is , no doubt , if Prussia be at all to be considered , a constitutional , country , the first authority in importance , and tbe second in rank , in the kingdom ; and it will be recollected tbe very emphatic way in which , in the prets , law offences against authority are pointed out to the mast signal punishment . Not only numbers of journals have been seized on tbe pretext that by some equivocal expression the public autborities have b < en affrontedi bnt several papers have been suppressed altogether on the same plea . Notwithstanding these numerous examples of the severity of the law , the ' Kreuz-Zeitnng , ' in a recent number , has committed this offence in the most glaring manner it is possible to conceive , yet with perfect
impunity . In a leading article , it holds up the chambers to ridicule , with the declared object of bringing them into public contempt . Of aii the comical things in this world , it says , that of a debate in a representative chamber is about the most comical ; and the comedy becomes downright farce when such an assembly jrets angry , and furnishes the august spectacle of a' storm in a tea cup . ' All this is said with reference to the approaching opening of the parliament ; and when one contrasts this with the high terms in which the same ministerial print has always spoken of tbe Provincial Diets , one cannot help seeing what is aimed at . The government are prepared , we see , to ' laugh at' the chambers .
ITALY . A letter from Turin of October 21 st mentions a report current there in the ministerial circles that the British and French governments have instructed their representatives at the court of Tuscany to declare that England and France witness with dissatisfaction tbe establishment of relations between the Tuscan government and tbat of Austria , which , if continued , will be destructive of the independence of Tuscany .
ROYAL RBLENTINGS AT NAPLES . The following from the ' Itisorgimento , ' a Truro journal , shows not only that the Neapolitan government does not pause in its career of persecution against the political prisoners in its power , but wreaks a continued vengeance on men who voluntarily exile themselves . The ' Risorgimento' says;—• The Neapolitan government studies daily to confirm by its acts the assertions of Mr . Gladstone . The following are a few new facts , which we particularly recommend to the attention of the . pious and zealous defenders of this most magnanimous government .
' It has been affirmed tbat there was an improvement in Poerio's lot , and tbat his treatment was now less severe ; the fact is that the reverse is the case . Carlo Poena is indeed in bed in the hospital of the prison of Ischia , but he still wears chains such as Mr . Gladstone has described so exactly . After the dissolution of the Chamber , the illustrious physician , Salvatore Tommasi , ex-deputy , was deprived of the professorship of Pathology , w < ich he had obtained and held under the absolute regime . He was subsequently arrested and put into prison ; but as no pretext existed for accusing him , the police set him at liberty . He has just been again arrested and incarcerated , without a shadow
of a reason , tbe police , doubtless , hoping to be more fortunate this time . The crime of M . T < mmasi is bis love for enlightened liberty in Italy , ho brillancy of bis talent , the honesty and devotion » th which be filled the post of deputy , conferred OH him by his fellow-citizens in the province of Aquiia * The property of the Advocate Pisanelli has been sequestrated , and that gentleman has avoided imprisonment by flight to Paris . The Neapolitan government does not pardon him for remaining whilst in exile what he was when iu parliament , when he was an honest Liberal , hostile to violence and proscription . Its revenge has been sequestration and implication in the monstrous trial of Mav 15 th .
• M . Pisanelli is one of the most distinguished lawyers and professors of jurisprudence in the kingdom . He was sent to parliament by his native province of Lecce , and he acted in bis capacity as member with courage and moderation . On the fatal night of the 15 th of May he did all in his power at the Hall of Mount Oliveto , where the deputies bad met in a preparatory assembly , to avoid t be collision which delivered up Naples to reaction The government knows this , and yet transforms Pisanelli into an erector of barricades . Latterly Pisanelli went to London to see the Great
Exhibition , and , under pretence that he was present at a meeting in which he never set foot , the governmeat s-questrated his property . Not a single man in the province of Leece , has been found willing to administer the property ; and , after vain endeavours , the government has been obliged to employ Pisanelli ' s own steward , who is enjoined to pay the rents into the royal exchequer ' The ' Croce di Savoia' of the 24 th ult . publishes the following letter from Naples : — ' I have been assured that ( he Duke of Leuchtenberg is charged
with an important mission . According to information obtained from an excellent source , he has promised the King of Naples , that , in tbe event of fresh commotions la 1852 , Russia would occupy Turkey , station corps of observation in Hungary and on the frontiers of Italy , and that , independently of her own forces , she relied on the co-operation of the Sclavoniau population of Hungary and of the Turkish Empire . The Duke also communicated to the K » ng a plan of the emperor , by which he was to be placed in possession of the Pontificial dominions , in case of new disturbances and new
arrangements . Kuasu is very anxious to extend the territory of her ally . It is also said that most important and secret communications have been made to the King of Naples by M . Hubner , the Austrian Ambassador in Paris , who lately paid a yisit to Corsica , which gave rise to many conjectures in the diplomatic world . Nobody could explain the object of M . Hubner ' a journey to a country that affords nothing to attract the attention of a foreign agent . It appears that the visit of M . Hubner was connected with that of the Duke of Leuchtenberg , wno , being a Beauhamais , i 8 on very good terms

with the President of the French Republic . ; I have been told on good authority tbat M . Louis Napoleon Bonaparte was favourable to the . aggrandisement of the kingdom of Naples and its extension to Bologna . '
SPAIN . The' Madrid Gazette' of the 22 nd utt . contains , in Latin and Spanish , an apostolic . letter of the Pope * dated tbe 5 th of September , relative to , the Concordat . It begins by stating that the convention undertaken by Pope Gregory XVI ., of happy memory , did not produce tbe desired result , but that the present Pope , on the prayer of his well-beloved daughter in Christ , Maria Isabella , Catholic-Queen of Spain , had sent to that kingdom the venerable brother John , Archbishop of Thessalonica , to regulate the affairs of the church and of religion . * In the negotiations for the Concordat , ' says his Holiness , a great consolation was given to us by the
decided will of our well-beloved daughter , in Christ , in favour of religion . We have decided that in this Concordat it should be established before , all , that the Catholic and ipostolic Roman church , with all the rights which it enjoys by divine institution , and by the sanction of the holy canons , shall entirely regulate and dominate , as in the past , all the kingdom of Spain—SO that the calamities of past times CMrttut cause it any detriment ; that , to the exclusion of all other forms of worship , the Catholic doctrine . shall be taught with purity in all universities , colleges , seminaries , and public , and private schools ; that the inviolable rights of the church , principally in spiritual things , shall be strictly
preserved ,- that the prelates and sacred ministers shall be free in the exercise of their episcopal functions , and in the holy ministry especially to guide tbe faith , and to . defend the . doctrine , customs , and ecclesiastical .. disciplinej and that setting aside all difficulties and obstacles , all and each shall accord the consideration and authority due to ecclesiastical authority and dignity / The Apostolic letter concludes by stating that whoever shall have the audacity and temerity to attack that document , ap . proved , ratified , and confirmed by his Holiness , must know that in so doing he will incur the wrath of Almighty God , and of his Apostles , St . Peter and
St . Paul . . The letter is sealed with the leaden seal . .. The- 'Madrid Gazette of the 23 rd ult . contains another ecclesiastical document , in Spanish and Latin . It consists of i-motuproprioof the Pope , dated St ; Peter ' s , at Rome , the 12 th April , and under the fisherman ' s seal , subjecting every house of religious congregation which may be established in Spain during the next ten years to the diocesan ordinaries , as delegates of the-apostolic see . This motu jjroprio i & offici & U ? ., communicated by the Minister of Grace and Justice to all the bishops of the kingdom ; and the minister intimates tbat it has received the sanction of the royal council .
The Parliament ought to make the Government ' laugh on the wrong side of its mouth ; ' and , if prosecutions for offences of the press did not belong exclusively to the police , who of course will not prosecute any ministerial paper , they could not begin their campaign better than by enforcing the law in this instance against the ' Kreuz-Zeitnng , * for endeavouring to bring the constitution , and the first constitutional authority'in the realm , into contempt . Nay , more—to bring into contempt every honourable motive by which public men can be influenced ; for ' what , absurdity it is / sajsthe paper alluded to , 'to talk of " breach of the constitution , " the * ' deep humiliation of Prussia / ' the " idisirnst of the people , " " moral impressions /' " old Prussian honour , " and such like phrases , for
all this is fudge . No one cares about such rubbishly rhetoric , -neither can it . have the sli g htest effect . If the government cannot carry its rneasures , it win dismiss the chambers : that is allnothing is simpler . The ministry have tbe independent right to issue laws constitutionally without the chambers , and also to suspend bad laws passed by the chambers / This is indeed spurning all constitutional right , and setting up autocratic pretensions with a high hand . The government may make , on its own independent authority , what laws it likes , and suspend what laws it likes ! It may also administer the laws as it likes ; for the law of the press fairly applied to this . aaticle of the ' Kreuz-Zeitnng * would , through the sentence of any judicial tribunal of Prussia , subject that paper , and justly , to total suppression ,
HUNGARY . Advices from Vienna , dated the 23 rd ult ., state that Archduke Albrecht ' s arrival at Pesth was the occasion for a manifestation of national feeling on the part of the people , most significant to tbe new alter ego of the Emperor in Hungary . Whether from accident or design is not known—it is to be hoped from the former—the Hungarian colours were not among the numerous flags decorating the steamboat on board of which bis imperial highness was . Every other province of the empire was represented in tbe rigging and on the masts of the vessel , but the white and red colours of Hungary were sought-for in vain . Their absence became
generally known at the very moment that tbe Governor-General was about to land ; on . the instant the assembled people , who might otherwise have raised their voice ' s in loyal acclamation , quitted the quay , leaving to the government officials , the military and few servile Austrians , the reception of the Archduke , Naturally enough Archduke Alhrechi was deeply enraged at what be considered an intentional insult . Explanations appear , however , to have been subsequently made , since the new Governor-General on the same day proceeded to shower marks of his favour and good will towards the na > tional wishes of the people . At his first reception , he intimated to every one of the bureaucracy of the
kingdom who came to pay bis respects to the new ruler , that in future they must appear in the Hungarian national costume or in a black coat and white neckelotb . The new uniform invented by Dr . Bach ( Minister of the Interior ) is condemned , to the great loss of many poor devils who had it made especially for the occasion , and then wore it for the first time . Whenever his highness appeared in the streets he was loudly greeted . It must not be supposed tbat the people of Pesth were thus loyal because of the new change of the costume .
They merely regard it as the forerunner of other and still greater changes in the hated system of centralisation , and with the enthusiastic , sanguine character peculiar to the Hungarian nation , give themselves up to the most extravagant hopes . Too likely are they to be deceived . The ' Lloyd' told us some weeks ago , that the form of centralisation was to be abandoned , but the spirit retained . Since then the advocates of centralisation have out-intrigued their opponents , and there is but too great probability of the only change that will be made being confined to the uniform .
A letter from Semlin , dated the 15 th ult ., states tbat for some months past the Servians have allowed themselves to be dictated to by the Austrian consul and some Austrians who are in the chancery of the prince . Accordingly , a number of Poles who were making a decent livelihood , in the most harmless ways , were ruthlessly expelled the principality . The Russians reserve their power , and have reasons for letting the boastful and cowardly Austrians make themselves odious , and drag the Servians through the mud , which the porcine nature of the latter makes them delight to wallow in . The present Prince of Servia ( a vassal of the Porte ) 13 a . Weak animal , generally under the influence of the
Austrian consul ( a peasant of the military frontier , ) and always under the influence of ardent spirits . Incapable of any sober thought , he fancies himself a great Slavonic Emperor . Under such a system it may well be supposed that the representatives of England and France are viewed with jealousy and dread ; A demonstration baa consequently . been made ( which the Prince and government of Servia consider to have been only a gentle hint , though Lord PaTmerston is very likely to make them feel i > as a mighty considerable affair . ) . The 32 th was the Prince of Servia ' s august birthday , on the night of which the Servian inhabitants are compelled to show their attachment by illuminating their dwellings , while the four foreign representatives of the great
powers never burn an additional candle more for the Prince than they would do for the Pasha who commands the citadel , and is a fat worthier person . The military band paraded through the town at eight p . m ., and passed the Russian and Austrian consulates , accompanied by a crowd of police agents and Servians of every degree . On reaching the street in which the British consul-general lives , they halted within a few yards of the house ; some cries of ' Kossuth ' s consul ! ' were heard from the Austrian part of tbe mob , ' the drums beat an encouraging roll , and the work of demolishing the windows commenced and lasted the better part of a quarter of an hour without the slightest attempt at repression . It was too well known that the
execution was ordered by superior authority . The consul-general ( M . de Fonblanque ) hurried to his residence and bad his shoulder wounded by a heavy stone hurled at bim by a Servian officer , who ran away , but is certainly well known to persons high in place . Next morning the British flag was struck

SWITZERLAND . The government journals vomit fire and fury on the population of Lucerne . It appears that the people attacked a former judge , named Amman , whose very name is universally execrated , and who was so incautious as to leave his safe quarters in Innsbrack , in order to visit his brother-in-law in Switzerland . The , magistrates of Lucerne were compelled to arrest him and confine him in gaol to protect him from tbe people , who , hearing of his arrival , assembled in large numbers round the house in which he was , treated bim fust to a charivari , and were proceeding to more serious demonstrations of hatred ; -when the authorities interfered . He was got across the frontiers safe and sound on the following morning . Such an event is naturally a God send for the absolute press , and they certainly make the most of it .
RUSSIA . There is a report of a conspiracy against thejmperial government at St . Petersburg , mentioned in the second edition of the 'Cologne Gazette / which , if true , is very important . It is as follows 5—' Rumours are iu circulation of a newly discovered conspiracy among the nobility of St . Petersburg , and of the arrest of several considerable persons standing very near the throne . The discovery , it is said , was made by officers of tbe body guard of the Emperor , whom the conspirators endeavoured to bring over lo their party ,. but who revealed the whole matter to the Emperor . Further details are not known . The St . Petersburg journals make no allusion whatever to the affair . But it is not to be expected that in Russia such events should be publicly announced till three or four months after their occurrence . '

The Construction Of Five New Vessels Of ...
The construction of five new vessels of war has been commenced in different parts of France , viz ., at frigate of the 3 rd class , a corvette of the 1 st class , a steam-corvette of the 1 st class of 400 horse-power , aud two-advice boats of the 1 st class of 200 horse-power . The number of vessels at present on the stocks is forty-eight , viz ., twenty men-of-war , nineteen frigates , five corvettes , and four 1 st class brigs . The oldest man-of-war on the f-ffective list of the French navy is the Ocean , of 120 guns , which was launched in 1790 ; the next is the Marengo , eighty-two -guns , launched on the 12 ih Oct ., 1810 , in presence of the Emperor . Six other men-of-war were bui ! t in the time of the
empire , and all the others are of a more recent date . The marine department has just struck out of the lists , as unfit for service ,. two men-of-war , three corvettes , two brigs , three advice-boats , one schooner , one chebec , one transport , and two steamers . Marie Therese , the daughter of Louis XVI . and Duchess of Angouleme , expired at Frohsdorf on the morning of the 19 th ult ., ( the anniyesary of the execution of her mother , Marie Antoinette , ) after a few days' illness , said to have originated in an attack of cold . A few lines , not onpatbetic , from an old servant of tbe eider branch of the Bourbons , Count de Pnstoret , lamenting the decease of this princess , insued from her earliest years to tbe most awful trials of adversity , are inserted in the < Assembl * Nalionale . '' ! Phe princess died in her seventy-third year .
In the seventh sitting of the Diet of the Rhine provinces one of the Deputies moved that the Assembly Should petition for a law . prohibiting the payment of wages to all persons under seventeen years of age . The motive of the law " was described to be a wish to improve the morality of the working classes , as well as their material interest . The payment of any wages to ' young persons' was to be ( obidden , aud if , notwithstanding the law
such payments were made , they should be considered null and void . . In case the proposition should not be carried , the Diet was to judge itself to . restrict the receipt , of wages by the class described as much as possible . After a discussion , the mover consented to modify his proposal so far that the restriction should only apply to young persons working in the factories ; but the Diet rejected the whole proposition by a large majority .
4 La Feuille du People , a Pans journal , was seized on Friday by order of the Attorney-General of the Republic , for an article entitled L ' megalile devant lEglise , containing an alleged insult to tbe Catholic religion . The 'Opinione' of Turin of tbe 21 stnU . announces that Lnigv Rigomensi , of Cremona , aged forty-two , a proprietor and merchant , had been sentenced by the Imperial Court Martial to three rears ' confinement in a dungeon at Mantua , for having had in bis possession revolutionary publications and emblems . The * Roman Observer' mentions that the Pope's state of health having caused great uneasiness , a Tridmm in honour ol the Apostles Peter and Paul had been ordered .
A new treaty for the international guarantee of literary property was signed , on the 21 st ult ., by t he plenipotentiaries of the two governments of France and of Hanover , in the capital of the latter kingdom . The' Milan Gazette' of the 20 th ult . publishes the convention concluded between the Emperor of Austria , the Duke of Modena , the Duke of Parma , and the Grand Duke of Tuscany , for the construction of a railroad which is to connect those States with the lines of Lombardy . Bakunin , the Russian , who took a leading part in the insurrection of 1849 , at Dresden , has just died in the fortress of Schlusselbourg , in Russia .
It will be remembered tbat the advocates for the defence in tbe case of the Lyons plot , which was tried by court-martial in that city , threw up their briefs in consequence of the partiality with which the proceedings were conducted . The Minister of Justice ordered the procureurs-general of the bars to which these advocates belonged to lay complaints against them before the respective Councils of Discipline . In consequence of this the Council of the Order of Lyons suspended the advocates belonging tO that bar for ft month j and the Council of the Order of Bourges has suspended M .

The United States District Court , for the district of Maryland , has been engaged in the trial of James D . Johnson , indicted on the charges of transporting slaves , in the American brig Chalsworth , from the cost of Africa to Brazil , in the year 1850 , and for serving on a slave vessel , in violation of the acts of 1800 and 1818 . The brig was caplured by the United Slates cruisers , on the coast of Africa , some time ago , with slave-deck , & c , on her , sent home , condemned , and sold . The case had not been decided . ' I hree Christians in Hanover have gone over to Judaism—two in order to be married to Jewesses ; the third is a minor .
The President of the United States has in structed the officers of the various ships of war and garrisons to fire salutes when tbe patriot KoSSUth lands upon the American shores . This noble man will doubtless receive as glorious a welcome as did the reuouned Lafayette upon his return to the country whose liberty he had so ably assisted in achievine ; . Notwithstanding the severe measures taken by the authorities , malefactors and discharged prisoners continue to make Paris their head-quarters , flavin . ; learned at the hegiunwg of last week that a number of most dangerous malefactors were in
hiding in the capital and the suburbs , detachments of secret police were employed to arrest them , ani on Saturday nineteen of them were captured . Amongst them are eight liberated convfets or prisoners , four men condemned by default , a female , and a foreigner—the latter under a decree of extradition . One of the band figured in what 'is known as the Faubourg St . Germain gang of thieves , another was condemned in 1844 for manslaughter , a third was condemned to the hulks in 1838 , but has ever since contrived to elude arrest . ' The woman belonged to the Faubourg St . Germain hand , and the foreigner is a German , of Hesse-Darmstadt .
The President of the Republic has approved of a decree by the ex-Minister of the Interior , M Leon Faucher , dated October 12 , by which it is decided , in order to attempt to reasove the complaints made of the immoral and dangerous political tendency , and the literary imperfection Of a great number of theatrical pieces , that the following prizes shall be annually given :- « A sum' of five thousand francs to the author of a successful dramatic work in four or five acts , in prose or . verae , represented at tbe theatre Francais ,- and which shall be moral " in character and brilliant in execution .
