J 5 irardin . hjui announced hit intention of defending himself , aided , so far as technical points of law are ^ concerhed , by a member of the profession . He had , it , se e ms , prepared a - speech which he . proposed delivering before ' the jury , but which was objected to by the Attorney . General anfi M . Girardin was obliged to place hit cause entirely in the hands of his counsel . The jury pronounced a verdict of acquittal . As the immediate result of this verdict , the C o ur t order e d t he whole of the numhsrs seized at the Post-office to be restored to the proprietor . The verdict of course carries costs in favour of M . Girardin .
. t mid n i ght an the 25 th ult . the electoral list rectification was closed in Paris . The number of registered voters is much less than at the last elections . The « Napoleon'stales that Dr . Achilli has succeeded in escap ing from prison , and has ar r ived in France . The Socialist journal . 'La Liberty , ' having failed to accomplish certain formalities , is o bli ged to suspend its publication for a few days . - Paris , Mondat . —It is announced that the legitimist journal , 'La Mode , ' is to be prosecuted by the Attorney-General for persevering in the statement that a coup d ' etat had been determined on in a Council of Ministers presided over by the Presi-. dent . The prosecution is for ah offence against the President , and for exciting to hatred and contempt against the government of the Republic .
. M . Declareuil , mayor of Peyrilhoe , in the department of the Haute Vlenne , has b e en dism is s e d by a decree of the President of the Republic . Two captains , four lieutenants , and about fifty soldiers of the 31 st infantry have been sent to Africa , for Socialism .

The new organs of the Reds are to be called * L'Europe Dejnocratique . ' and L'Associstion . '
. Paris . Monday . —The Roman Loan may be considered as settled . The house of Rothschild and Co ., of Paris , has tendered for a loan of thirty millions of francs , on such terms as render it certain that they will be accepted . Tiie proposal now only waits the sanction of . the Pope . The contract concluded between MM . de Rothschild and the agents of his Holiness in Paris was forwarded on Saturday to Porticl for ratification . In the mean time , the terms of the loan are not to be published . The authorities have commenced a war against the trees of liberty . A great number of them have been cut down within the last two days in all parts of Paris , by order of the police .- M . Leon Faucher only ventured topnll down the bonnets rouges which were placed upon the trees of liberty ; M . Ferdinand Sarrot attacks the trees themselves .
. Tuesday . —^ Letters from Mayenne , of the 24 th ult ., state that the ' Independant de l'Ouest' was acquitted on the preceding day of a charge of sedition institntfd by the Attorney-General . -Wbbne £ dat . —The law regulating the relations of workers and masters , in regard to weaving , was again passed throug h a s t age in t he Legi s la t ive Assembly Yesterday .
ITALY . ROME . —The' Courtier des Al pes' publishes t he following curious letter from Rome , dated the 15 ih : — ** A body of Austrian troops is shortly to advance upon Rome under the orders of General Baron d'Aspr * ' , The object of this raoveaieut U to restore the imperial and royal arms on the Palazzo di Venezia . Since the departure of his Holiness they have not been replaced on the residence of the Aus'rian Arabasssdor . They are to be hoisted at the Tery moment tha Pope will make his entry by the
gate of St . John of Lateran . It is believed the Pope will insist on the permanence of these troops in his capital . France , which evacuates Roma , partially at least , will see no harm in letting Baron d ' Aspre p lace Austrian sentinels at the gates of the Vatican and the Quirinal . Thus will one of the difficulties be removed ; for the Soverei gn P o n t iff must provisionally have a body of troops at his command , till one bf the plans in contemp l a tion , viz ., the formation of a Spanish legion , or the revival o ( the order of the Knights of Malta , shall h a ve been put into execution .
GERMANY . The 'Co ' ogne G azet t e ' p ub l ishes t he fol l owin g telegraphic message from Berlin , dated Saturday , at noon . Minister ManteofFcl declared in the Second Chamber to-day that the government abided by the princip l e of apairie , but would not oppose its being deferred . The adoption of Count Arnim ' s amendment would be regarded as the adoption of the loyal message . "With rezard to the special caurt of law , the government would give any ; reasonable guarantee that it should not be abused , provided its object was not frustrated . The adoption would result in the immediate taking of the oath , but the rejection would defer the oath and the German constitution question for an indefinite period , and w o uld compel the ministers to resign .
BERLIN , Saturday . — The Second Chamber has came to the following derisions on the royal propositions : — 'Art . 1 was adopted by 226 votes astainst 100 . ( It refers to the pre » s . )—Arts . 2 and 3 were adopted . ( They refer to the Landsturm and the Barger gnard . )—Arts . 4 , 7 , 8 , and 10 were deferred—Art . 5 was rejected . ( It refers to the responsibility of ministers . )—Arts . 6 , 11 , and 12 were adopted . ( Tke first specifies the length of time the chambers shall sit , the second the nature of judicial proceedings to be taken against government officials , and the third is the introduction " of " the paragraph of the constitution which deals with the parishes of the kingdom . )—Art . 9 was adopted in a modified form . ( It refers to the electoral ' districts for the second chamber . ) The chamber , decided that the electoral districts mav consist of one or
more large circles or towns , and rejected the words , * towns of more than 10 , 000 inhabitants . ' ( This is the modification proposed by the central commutes of the upper chamber . ' ) The three pol-iical prisoners in the fortress of Konigstein , Baknnin , Heabner , and Rockel , have been placed for the last time , before the Court by which they were tried , to hear the . publication of its sentencs against them . They are all condemned to death , but whether the sentence will be actually executed is not known . They were the leaders of the Dresden insurrection of May last . Heubner was folly prepared : for the doom pronounced against him , laving ' expected it from the commencement of the proceedings . The others heard , it " with calmness . Baknnin is a Russian subject , and was mixed up with . nearly all the revolutionary movements of 1818 , from Paris to Vienna .
HUNGARY AND . AUSTRIA . The ' Slarenski Jug , ' an . Agram newspaper , in its number of the 18 th ult ., con t ains , a correspondence of the 12 th from Bukowar in Syrmia , whereby it appears that a battle had taken place : between the Austrian military and the people on the 11 th . You know already that in this district the population" is a mixture of Servians and Croats . Which par t y had the best of the fig h t d o e s no t v e ry cle a rly appea r , although the « Jug ' s' correspondent reports " that the
military succeeded in restoring order . Slojcevic , the governor of the Syrmain county , is reported by the ' Sud-ilavische Zeitung' t o h ave been ki l led , which seems hardly probable , as in later news he reappears and proclaims fire of the ringleaders outlaws . The account given of the origin of the affair is , that several peasants had rendered themselves amenable to the law by extensile depredations hr the woods about Bukovar , which they exercised under the pretest that the Ban had given them leave . ' A military force was sent to enforce the summons of the stau >
brichter , or judge in first instance , t o t hese offenders , to appear before his tribunal . The peasantry rose en masse against the soldiers , and drove them back to Bukovar , where a regular insurrection now broke oni- The tocsin rung from the tower of the Greek church . All the military detachments posted near Bukovar immediately marched to the scene of combat . , Authentic accounts of the upshot of the affirfr are wanting . . It appears that similar disturbances have taken
place at Panscova ( pronounced Panshwa ) opposite Semlin . The Turkish Servians having agreed with - their discontented-brethren under Austrian role that as soon asthe river should be well frozen they would cross over to the left bank , witha formidableforce , and assail the Austrian military , and then establish a Servian regency , and thU . pk ^ being betrayed to the Anstriaus , aiconsiderable military force- consist- ' ^ S ^ MPS *" - d "" an ^ y andasquadron of cavalry « , ^^^ fced into Panscova on the 10 th ult .

North Staffordshire Miners. All Parties ...
NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE MINERS . All parties seem to be stirring just now ; indeed there appears to be an almost , general moye among socialland political p ar t ies , some to forward their own selfish interes'ed views , but the great majority are pressing onward to the goal of Truth ; Justice , and Liberty . Among the latter , we ate happy to see the miners or Eng land , ' who are forming a ' Na ti onal As s ocia t ion ' for tbe protection "bf theii labour ( their only property , ) and for the attainment of their rig hts , as valuable working men .. this association is . gaining immense strength in tlveNorlh ^' England , and is spreading in ; Lancashire , Yorkshire , and Staffordshire .. In Staffordshirealone . duringa very short . time , six miners' lod ges have been ' op ened and numbers have joined those already opened , ir fact , the cause of Union looks promising in North
Staffordshire , and is effecting great good . Large and spirited meetings have . recently been held by . the miners' of Turisiall ( who are on strike , ) Burslem , Hanley , Norton , Longton ,, Lane-delf , Red-row , Cherterton i Knutton-heath , Bradley-green , ; & e . « and on Saturday Inst a delegate meeting was held at the Castle Inn , Shelton , which was well attended . These meetings have been addressed by Messrs . Daniells and Lawton , agents of the association . There seems to be a growing pubit ' copinion in favour of the ' mihers ; most parties that , you converse wilh stating that , « of all men miners should be well paid . ' Most heartily do we wish this . association all . the success it so well deserves ,- and may ail other trades follow their example—be up and doing , and demand their rights , both socially and politicailv .
TO TIIE COAL ASTERS OF NORTH STAPFORD-- SHIRB . Geo tlemes , —lit accordance with a resolution passed at a Miners'delegate meeting , held in Hanley , on Saturday , the 19 th iast , we proceed to layhefore jou ^ thei following '
ADDRESS . ' . "We are informed that some of the Coal Masters in' this district are fevourahle to an organisation of the miners and mining interests , with a view to the protection of the ftiif profits of the employer , anda due reward for the labour of the employed ' ; consequently , we , on hehalf / and hy . the request of tho iliners of North Staffordshire , \> eg leave respectfully , to submit to your consideration the objects aad pr inciples of the Miners' Association of Great Britainj so ag to remora . any unjust or ci-roueous opinions that may he held concerning it . . . . . . . .. , ; .-. ; .- ,: ¦ One of the principal objects of the Miners' Association-is , , to effect a . fuU arid complete organisation for mutual protection of the whole of the miners of Great Britain—toj seek , hy every legal and peaceful means , - to obtain a fair reward for the dangerous and arduous lahsurof the . miners , and to endeavour , by such means , to obtain for the mine masters ajust return for the hazardous capital they employ , and to endeavour to settle aU disagreements and differences between master and men , by jumraaATip . 'f and fair , and legitimate aigument , ' rather than have recourse to' injurio > is and disastrous BtsSkes . '! " '"" : * . ' "
We contend that it is repugnant to all light feeling and sound principle for masters and men to exist in a state , of antagonism towards each other ; that . men . should he working against instead of for oach other ; that masters should ba competing against and' underselling each other , while the fair reward for labour and the'just return for capital is swallowednp by the consumers , who do not thank either of the parries for the sacrifices they make . "We consider undue compeiitios to toe one of the greatest evils that afflicts the coal trade , and mining interests generally ; and we "believe that the pernicious effects of the hydra-headed monster—coMPErrnox—can only he effectually counteracted hy-a union--of the well-disposed and good principled among masters and men . - " ¦ ¦
Another of the objects of the Miners'Association is , to appeal to the iesislzture . of our country for tsoTScrtos to the LiFEAxn . HEALTn or the mwem ; and , as we desire to obtain infurmation for ourselves arid children , to petition for a repeal of the tax 6 u newspapers and advertisments , also for a repeal of the duty on paper ; and , lastly , to form co-opeuatiye fosds in order to supply . ourselves with , provisions , rahncn ' , < tc ., at wholesale prices , and to purchase laiid whereon to locate such of our members who may unfortunately be destitute bf employment , so as thus to provide them with reproductive employ , rather than they should he dependent on parish relief or eleemosynary aid—in fine ; that they may work for themselves instead of passing their time in unwilling idleness . -.,.:. ; ..,
Such , sir , are the primary objects of the Miners' Association . Should you approve of the same , we respectfully solicit your countenance and co-operation , " and we hope' you wiU use your influence in order to induce your workmen to co-operate .-nth us also ; so that all may work together in harmony and good-feeling for , the mutual advantage of each .

' : , —A trial , of considerable importance -to the m i ners of this dis t ric t , t o ok place ' oh Monday , ' Jan i 28 tb , at the -Gateshead Coiinfy Court , the particulars of which I forward for " insertion in your valuablejournal . . " ; ' ' . ' . ' . ' "' . -, It . appears , " that the ' ^ worhmen of . Marby ' . Hill colliery , had ; formed themselves into ; a union , andi bad also joined the Miners' Protective Society in
this district ; they had also . restricted "their ' labour : to a- low figure ; in consequence of' which the employers had issued to every man a printed notice : that if they did ' not work ¦ for a hig her amoun t of vages fhau they' were "at ; that time ' dbirig , they , ( the employers , ) would not . allow them to work at all , and would consider the contracror ' agreement at an endbetween them ,-and also . that they would turn out of . possession frorn the dwelling houses everyone of . them . To this notice the workmen
gave no heed , but went to workasiisuali peifonhinK only -the quantity of ' work they 'had . themselves agreed upon ; in const ' qvience ' of whicbVthe emp loyers set t o w o r k ,-and ejected a ' gr e a t number o f thgrh from ' the "houses , throwing-. out ' ;; their ; goods and fu rn i t ure in ' a most reckless ' . and-careless manner , damaging-or breaking , many articles of considerable value , and which had cost the miners many a hard days foil to obtain . ; There being an avowed' contact er agreement , that otic month ' s iiotice shbnld'be . gfyenon ' either side'before the iaid contract " could be severed , the workmen brought . ' the emp loyers ; before the court , to answer ; a charge of damages sustained by ' them in their ; turning them out of possession ; and to secure the utmost amount of justice , they brought down from Manchester their old and tried legal adviser , W . P . Roberts , Esq ., '
There being many other cases connected with the court to come on before this case , some little attempt was made by the solicitor foi * the employer ' s' to com-: promise the affair , hut on such equivecal terms thai the workmen refused to attend to them . The fight began by Mr . Roberts , who in a most , clear and forcible manner laid the case before the court .. The gist of which was that , in accordance . -: with the agreement , one month ' s notjce : should have been given to the men before they were turned-out land
that as only one day ' s no t ice h a d b e en giveh , it was clear that the employers had acted illegally , in thus forcibly entering those dwellings ' , and casting ; into the road the poor . men's furniture , and that in so cruel and wanton an act the worst possible , feelings were 'disp layed , and such indifference evinced for the feelings of ithose . apeop le . ' that when ( as one of ; the party-detailed to ' J'tbje ? lefiurt ) -he remonstrated " ¦ witb y thbia ^ eflgaged ; itf ^ ejecting himrso " roughly , and carelessly throwing down t he various articles they- were removing , hy observing that they

The question -thus tvaa raised : had the employers this power ? or , should they not rather have noticed' the workmeii , ' as per agreement ; or applied to ' a ' magistrate , 'to have ; ihe agreement " cancelled , or ' " to haye . fiertt ^ the , men . to prison , ' untiltheVmonth was up ? .

NATIONAL REFORM LEAGUE . <; ^ An attentive and numerous . audience was assembled at the Prfesidetit ' s ^ Mr . J : B .-.

Now , ' with the existing institutions of JEng land , he confessed he would rather side with the Protection , ists . than the Free Traders •• '¦ but ; in fact , what the people wanted was protection' from both 'parties .
Neither party ; were willing to protect the interests of the unprivileged people , by giving them ; the / franchise , untrammeled with property qualification . The existing commercial-interests had no compunction in sacrificing the . working classes , to carry out their ownselfuh princi p les ,, byiforcing . them into an . un . faj . r , ^ une . quai cpmpetition . . . with . .. . lightly-taxed garbage-eating foreigners . ! tinder ' " the , best , auspices , a" working man dependent on capitalists for ' employment , "was a wages-slaye ; but it remaihecl for modern legislature to ^ bring ; about a 8 ystem , *| that virtually went to deprive ^ this slave ofnli qme market for the produce of h s labour ^ If this systemwas allowed to continue—but it was blasphemy

But if free trade were insisted upon ,-then , all the fixed burthens of . the country—all debts , taxes , and rent charges , ou ght ' to be'reduccd in the same
ratio with the fall of prices consequent -upon thaj free trade policy . - The Cohdenites now wanted the working-classes to fraternise wiih them ; but he trusted they . would " nbt . be gulled by either them or the Protectionists ;; he trusted he should yet live to see the day « when both ' parties iwould be declared rank , impostors , and-, enemies to [ . the cause oi lhumanU y ,.. at : . laiga . - Our , working classes ,, had become so deteriorated in character , and so power-: less , that .

the'Peop le ' s Char t er , lohaye been a sound one , and produciive '' . of m uch ' good to our cause " . "When , the fefmerit of 1839 had subsided , and 0 Connor , and mo a t of o ur influen t ial men , were either iii'dungeoris or'driven from the country , we were left'Without Mailers and , without friend ? , our organisation broken iip ^' our princi ples ridiculed by the press , and Chartism asserted by our opponents to be dead . The Anti-Corn Law party took advantage : of ' this ,- to them favourable , oppoi-tunily ; . and held ;; meetings throughout the land ; we endeavoured ¦ to rally our forces , and follow their example , but , speedily , found that whilst ; a meeting of a dozen in favour . ' of their panacea , was trumpeted forth by the press as . a great
and important meeting , pur gatherings of thousands was treated jWith silent ; contempt ; . we were unable to hire expensive . places , of meeting ,, the , press failed to report . bur . proceedings ! and as for as public rtpinion was concerned , we might as well have ceased to exist . At this crisis , the Isle Henry HetKerington laid down the policy of attending' our ; opponents meetings , and thus force our opinions into notoriety ; w . e acted upon that suggestion | and speedily demonstrated to the public that we were in themajbrity : ; and were So successful in this-as to compel even the opposition presai-ito' admit ; - tbat let a meeting . be called for , any political subject , * - we were . surei to be in the , ascendant , . and .-convert -that ; , meeting to
our / q * n ; , purpp 8 ea . ; ,: ' H ; may be a-sked , wasitbis justice ? ., , I assert ,, that it was . ;• We had , firstly bf en treated : with contempt , ¦ : , then ,. abused ; au , d maligned , and , , ^ ' e ; Jjad " no ¦ 9 ther resources ' open ,. to us by which , to vindicate our princip les , ana ; demonstrate ^ ur power ;!! , and . by thus acting we ' became , ' even in the eyes 1 of bur opponents , thei most pow . ' « r ( ul paicty in the" kingdcirh . This was a great ' step in advance gained , * and the resul t ; ' proved 'the , cor- ; rec t hess of the policy j ' - ' that policy '; iii niy opi nion , should still ; remain : ' uhchanged' so' Iong ; as thesa Financial ¦ and - Parliamentary Reformers fallow a fair hearing , to our speakers , so long as their- organs willffairly jreport our speeches , ' so long , 'may this
policy ( remain in , abeyance ; hut ; the moment that any attempt is made to " shelve us , that moment must we resort to our old tactics of , opposition , Respecting your . question as to ^ hei ^ epueyi . meetirg , . ! ask , why are yo « , Chartists , ; waiving all dispute as , to the right ' " ot the , { -Suffrage ? , I presume * itV is because your interestsare , ' not represented ' in ^ the Leg isla t iv e Assembly as at ' presentcdustituted ; you seek to he enfranchised , that those interests may be 'pro . tec ! edj yourbrilyinterestisyonrlaboiir . Cbartisin ' therefore , in my o p inion , resolves Itself into ' pro- ' tectibtrfbr labour ; this appears to 'have-been the ostensilile objectaimed at by the Conveners-of that meeting . I ; therefore , consider . the ; opposition 1 there
manifested as ill-timed , and . contrary to the . sound tactics of-our body ; I am aware that the ; C 1 ' artists of the metropolis have been , so trained . to po li t ical , warfare , that- they are as eager to . combat their , opponents | Oii .. the political plattormi as the , ^ Republicans of France are to combat .. theirs , in a direr , c o nflic t ih t he . btreels . C . which ^ mode p ultimately , prove most . ' successful j eyehts . bave yet tt ^ determine ; something of this . spirit pif '' opposition ^ and a mistake as to the kind of protection advocated by the conveners of that meeting ; must have led ' to ; what I consider an-unfortunate result * I , 'believe ' that the true ' pbllcy ' ¦ sf the Chartist 'body at- the present juncture , consists in an armed
non-intervention , giving the liberty : to such of ; their troops as are fond of skirmishing , ; the right of attacking the common enemy ( the government ) either ; in conjunction ; with the men ; of the little Charter , or i the advocates for the protection of labour ; but ; the grand body should ; be kept well organised and well disciplined , for anyattack that circumstances , yet in the womb of futurity , inay favourably ^ , present , iltespecting the . dispute between Messrs . ' H a rney an 'd Clark , I can onl y sa y t ha t I am a Red , d e ep ly dyed , and that all past history clearly demonstrates that those who make half-revolutions only increase the oppression they labour-to avert ..: " 3 ut this is no argument in favour of the . political scaffold being
again raised on high , or that the dungeons , should be crowded with our opponents ; thfse ' are the weapons of our opponents , ' the devices of barbarous and cowardly men ; 'surely the Democratic party c ould ensure the security of theii ;' glori ou s ; princi p les without having ; recouise to ' such ' estreine ' measures ; t his , my friends , is a mere invention of the enemy , who , being cruel and cowardly , t hemselve s , imagine their opponents to" be . equally , so .. In conclusion , I-trust that Chartism will have a recognised policy b y which we can all abide , tbat we may not have ,
as * at present , a dozen mas t ers each with- their little sect of disciples ; hut all unite in one grand : system of operation . I' think the Provisional Executive slibuld name a day ! . af tier , w hich h . operson , notpreviously enrolled , should be en t i t led t o v ot e in t he election of officers ; let the candidates named , then , full y expound their views through : the medium of the A or / Aer » vSfa » -, i the-whole body will thus have an opportunity , by means of such election , to decide upon the policy to be adopted ; but again , I ' aaf , let us have some defined p ' olicy" laid down , for by this . meana can we alorie he successful . , ' ' .
