Pratsce. Politics Are At A Stand-Still I...
PRATSCE . Politics are at a stand-still in Paris , and were it not for the reviews at Versailles , 2 nd the split among the Legitimists , the editors of the newspapers would find it difficult to fill their columns . "With respect to the reviews at Versailles , it may well be conceived that , regarded as lhey are as an attempt on the part of Louis Napoleon to extend bis popularity with the army , they excite considerable jealousy among all those who are opposed to the pretensions of aggrandisement attributed to the President . The Legitimists are fully as indignant as the RepublicansThe « Union' alludes seriously to these
. reviews as a demonstration of the gravest character . 'An attempt is made , ' says that paper , to seduce the army bv marks of attention ; it » caressed , excited , and encouraged to use cries m the midst of its libations . It cries ' Vive Napoleon ! ' 'WIEmpereur'' which are undoubtedly unconstitutional , * hut which are excusable , because they are the result of a passinir emotion . The soldier is always disposed to fete the person who regales him . He is never niggardly of his rivals after a gala . ' The « U nion , ' after thus exposing the means used to seduce the troops , asks if they are likely to be successful , and comes to a negative conclusion . ' A victorious
general could alone profit by these sympathetic transports ; a civil magistrate cannot profit by them-Besides , do these military feasts prove that the army is ready for a coup de main , or that it is determined to gag the representative of France and to proclaim anew Caesar , by destroying the constitution , and closing the doors of the National Assembly ? Seriously we do not think so . ' A long series of remarks follows , in which the ' Union' endeavours to prove that the period for coups d ' etat are long past , and that such practices are inapplicable to the present times . Throughout the whole of its argument the ' Union' assumes that the intention of Louis
Napoleon and his partisans are to make use of unconstitutional means against the Assembl y to gain their objects , but it prophesies that these efforts will be onsuccessful , though it looks upon the affair as one of considerable gravity . The National' treats the affair differently . After describing the first part of the review on Thursday , it says : — ' Between the acts we had precisely , the same interlude as on Sunday . Twelve loaves , twelve sausages , twelve . bottles of champagne , and a large bundle of cigars were distributed among every twenty-five men ; and at the risk of being accused of giving a puff , we will inform our readers that the corks of the champagne bad the seal of the house of Anguste Bondril . Are the houses of Moet and Jacquesson in disgrace ? In afterwards filing past
the President , the ardour of the troops was very great , and on their return to Versailles the observers had an opportunity of settling the question whether the authorities were not wrong in forgetting , when organising the regimental schools , to consecrate a Chapter to the influence of sausages , of cigars , and of cbampagne , on the appearance of troops , when on their march . Besides this , we may state that this sort Of esercJK is not altogether displeasing to the troops . The only one that has to complain is the cashier at the Elysee ; but M . Feuld is so complaisant , that he will find the means of slipping this little supplementary demand among the expenses of the campaign . And why should the Assembly refuse It ? Does it not fall within the system of the presidential policy that Louis Napoleon should be less a warrior than—a restaurateur ?'
All this , however , does not prevent Louis Napoleon from proceeding with the reviews . An official notice has been issued at the Elysee , to the effect that the number of persons who daily present themselves at the palace , demanding audiences of the President of the Republic , is so great that it interrupts his attention to the public business , and that , iu consequence of this , no one will be in future admitted without a letter of audience . The new law relative to the press continues to be a subject of embarrassment to the conductors of the Paris press . It threatens completely to upset many established reputations , and to bring forward a series of names hitherto unknown to fame . The Berlins , Verons , and others , who have acquired a name and reputation , not for what they have actually written , but because their names have been affixed to their
respective papers as redacteurs en chef gerans , must now yield to those who are the actual writers of the articles for which they have hitherto got credit . During the two months which have passed between the passing of the act and its coming into force , the gerants , who were quite alive to the blow aimed at them , exercised their utmost ingenuity to elude the law , and various plans were proposed for that purpose . Some proposed that the whole staff of editors should sign each particular article , while others proposed that only one article should be signed in each number of the newspaper . The editors knocked the first of these plans on the head , and the Minister of Justice the second . The editors declared that , though
they were willing to be responsible for their own writings , they could not take the responsibility of the writings of their colleagues , and that it was impossible to get a whole staff of editors to agree on every subject discussed in a newspaper ; and the , Minister of Justice intimated that he was determined to carry out the law strictly , and that all newspapers publishing ' articles on political , moral , or religious sub jects , would certainly be prosecuted . Numerous other plans were proposed , bnt all were thrown aside for one reason or another ; and when the time arrived for the law to come into execution , the gerans
were as far from coming to a settled plan of action as on the day when the Tinguy amendment was first announced . The editors do not appear on this occasion to have given any very efficient aid to the gerans , in their attempts to get rid of the difficulties of the 7 a * -. On the contrary , tbey seem to have thrown every obstacle in the way of any plan which might tend to its execution ; and it may very reasonably be suspected that many of them did not regret the opportunity now given them of establishing a reputation b y the publication of their names , and o f stripping the gerans of their borrowed plumes .
The Corsaire was seized in Paris on Saturday , by order of the Attorney-General of the Republic , in consequence of an article entitled « Les Ceaars , ' containing an offence against the President of the R-public . M . Courtois , who signed the article , and M . Laurent , the editor of the journal , are to be prosecuted . On Friday thirty-one persons were tried by the Court of Assize , on the charge of having formed a secret association for the destruction of the liepublic and the restoration of the monarchy of the elder Bourbons . The chief of the society was a person named Adjutor Dubisson , who is in flight ; three of the accused were absent ; and of the twenty-seven others who appeared eighteen had been admitted to bail .- The indictment stated that
the authorities , having obtained information of the existence of the society , caused papers to be seized at the residences of the persons implicated at Rouen , Amiens , Paris , Havre , ' and Caen . In all those places separate societies existed , but it appeared they were all branches of one great association , under ov . e common direction " , that they communicated with each other by means of letters or travellers , and corresponded with a chief residing abroad . In each town in which a society was established there were chiefs charged . to incorporate as many members as possible , to draw up Ms of all the members , and tosend those lists to the common chief . According to the zeal displayed by the persons thus
enrolling , different grades corresponding to those in the army were conferred on them , and many of them were paid in proportion . To secure members money was frequently given . Most of the members were workmen in need of pecuniary assistance . The funds for this purpose were sent from abroad , chiefly from Brussels . In addition to the money actually paid , more was promised regularly in case of war ; recompenses of monty and places were also offered in the name of the patron ( the Duke of Bordeaux } to those who might distinguish themselves in any demonstration which might become necessary , and pensions were promised to the families of whose who might fall . Though the papers seized left na doubt that the design of the
conspirators was the elevation to the throne of the Duke of Bordeaux Jit did not appear that they had come to an agreement as to the period or mode of action , so that the offence of the accused did not amount to what the law describes as a plot , but simply to that of having formed a secret political society . The rej liesof the accused to the interrogatories threw littlelight on the affair ; some of them pretended 11 at the society was merely for the defence of order ; oihers that they did not know what its object was ; othew explained the meaning of the terms used in the correspondence ; others stated the sums of money they had received or distributed ; and one or two declared that they had only joined the associaiion because they were paid . They were found Guilty and sentenced to imprisonment for six

rent . The chagrin , and--vexation of the moderate section of the Count of . Chanibord's , adherents is such as to threaten an entire break up of the party . Already a section , whoses . views were represented in the press by the 'Assemblee Nationale , ' have for the present laid aside their monarchial ideas , and embraced the plan of supporting General Changamier as a candidate for the presidency against Louis Napoleon . This is the new tack of those who were of late fusionists , but who now see no possibility of union with the Orleanisls , after a manifesto which repudiates the main article of the political creed of the latter party . The Council of Prudhommes , of Marseilles , dissolved on the 16 th by decree of the President of the Republic , has protested againit that act of authoritv .
A letter from Toulouse of the 25 th ult ., states that the differences existing between the master carpenters in that town and the operatives are about to be arranged . The Prefect of the Seine Inferieure has suspended from the . exercise of their functions the Mayors of Hodenger , Metnil , Esnard , and St . Marguerite . It is said that a letter has been received in Paris , by a member of the Permanent Committee of the Legislative Assembly , from an adviser of the Count de Chambord , disapproving of the circular of Af . Barthelemy . The Bishop of London preached at Paris on Sunday to a numerous congregation . Undismayed by the melanchol y catastrophe that hefel Lieutenant Gale , the aeronauts continue to
invent new modes of attracting spectators . Instead of Monsieur Poitevin ascending on horseback , it is . Madame Poitevin who now performs that dangerous feat . That lady made an ascent on Sunday from the Hippodrome , dress ? d" en Amazone , mounted on her white mare , her husband occupying the car . After having , passed over Paris , and sailed amongst the clouds for a couple . of hours , the adventurous couple descended safe and sound at some distance to the north of the capital . -A Socialist banquet , intended to have been held at St . Pourcain ( AUier , ) was prevented by the authorities , supported by the military .
The examination into the affair of the disturbances of the . Drome is being . actively carried on . The leader of the affair , a man named Pascal , his brother , and another individual known . by the sobriquet of Graillon , have been arrested by the gendarmery of Loriol . The authorities had received information that a number of the rioters had taken refuge in the Department of the Ardeche , which , forming part of the 8 th Military Division , was ber yond the regime of the state of siege . . They were besides informed that a clandestine manufactory of gunpowder , on a large scale , existed at Pouzin , in the bouse of a man named Soubeyran ; a man of desperate character , and who bad been heard to
declare that the first gendarme or police agent who approached him should receive two balls through his body . General Lapene , who commands in the Drome , arranged with the authorities of Ardeche to put an end to this state of things , and ait expedition was organised to . advance on the place by both banks of the river , under , the command of Commandant Oliver . This expedition arrived at Pouzin at an early hour in the-morning , ' after having invested in their way several of the neighbouring communes . The Prefect of the Ardeche was on the spot with several brigades of the gendarmery of his department . As early as five o ' clock in the morning the armed force presented . itself , at the house of
Soubeyran , and , in the name of the laws , summoned him to open his door . A moment of silence followed , during which the cocking of a double barrel gun was distinctly heard . The door immediately after opened , and Soubeyran appeared with the weapon in his hand , but seeing the force with which he had to contend he appeared to hesitate , when the Prefect , rushed forward , laid hold of him , and , presenting a pistol to his breast , summoned him to surrender . Soubeyran , however , by a sudden movement broke from his grasp , and , running to a window which opened on the river , jumped into the Rhone and disappeared . Some soldiers immediately
ran to the other bank to arrest him when he landed , but nothing more was seen of him . On searching his house a powder manufactory , completely or . ganised , was found , and a great number of cartr idges and . several sacks of powder were seized . During this time several arrests were made on the opposite bank of the river by the gendarmery . The troops marched a distance of twenty-five miles during the night , and remained under arms a great part of the following day . By this expedition all the villages on the banks of the , Rhone . have been cleared of the parties who kept up a constant agitation in those parts .
Several journals having announced that the society of the Dix Decembre was in a state of dissolution , the ' National' contradicted the assertion , and stated that a meeting of the members was to take place the same evening in the Rue St . Dominique , in the room of the Freres Ignorantius . The . meeting , in fact , took place , and the ' Pouvoir' published an account of the proceedings . General Piat was in the chair ; . M . Gallix , censor of the society , and formerly director of the journal the ' Dix Decembre , ' now the * Pouvoir , ' pronounced an opening address . We omit the details given of the organisation of the mutual aid funds , and come to the part where M . Gallix announced that the society had en-registered 1 , 400 new adherents in twenty-five days .
It is rumoured abroad that the existence of this society has appeared to the socialists an excellent means of re-organisation , in order to be ready for every event . They in consequence get themselves enrolled as members , under cover of which they Had a security which M . Carlier ' s police did not for a long time leave them . Two delegates of the Maronite population have arrived in Paris . They have come in the name of their countrymen of the Libanua to ask . the French government for a concession of land in Algeria . This population has always been regarded as honest and industrious colonists , and their introduction into Algeria must be considered as highly desirable .
The ' Moniteur' publishes a decree of Jhe President of the Republic , establishing , on the recommendation of the Minister of War , superior schools in Algeria for the education of natives who may become candidates for employment'in the administration of public worship , justice , and public instruction . The Attorney-General caused the' Assemblee Nationale' to be seized at the post and at its own offices , in consequence of the publication of an article on the journey of M . Persigny to London , and highly offensive to the President of the Republic . DENMARK AND THE DUCHES .
A return of the officers serving in the Holstein army slates , that one-half of the commanders of brigades , battalions , and companies are Prussians ; a fourth are Schleswig-Holsteiners who were formerly in the Danish , service , and the remaining fourth are from the different States of Germany . General Von Willisen , the Commander-in-Chief , was in the service of Prussia ; the Chef of the Staff , Colonel Von de Tann , in that of Bavaria ; Major Stutterheim , the soils chef , in that of Brunswickhe succeeded Major Wynecken , who was an Hanoverian officer ; the Prince of Augustenburg , also on the staff , was in the Danish service ; two other staff officers are from Nassau . The whole of the artillery is commanded by Colonel Von Wissel , an Hanoverian ; the commander of the cavalry was formerly in the Danish army .
An order has been issued at Rendsburg prohibiting any civilian from passing out of the Schleswiggate ( to the north ) to visit the camps or outposts of the army ; written permissions for the same purpose are no longer given . As many Englishmen have come to Hamburgh for the sake of seeing the army in the field , it may save some disappointment to state that unless tbey have special or professional business , and very good recommendations ,-they may go to Rendesburg , but will not be - allowed to go out of it to the north . The reason alleged for issuing the order is that the permission to visit and inspect the positions has been abused . The Holsteiners do not like being visited as a show , as if the war was a spectacle got up ' for the amusement of the public , ' who are disappointed if every day does not furnish some exciting action or tableau .
Active hostilities were recommenced by the Holsteiners on the 29 th ult ., under the command-of Colonel Von der Tann . They made a second attack on the town of Friedricbstadf . " Tonningen was taken by the Schleswig-Holsteiners , after two hours' fighting . Friedrichstadt was bombarded through the day . Two of the trenches were taken' with the bayonet by the Holst eine ^ s , and fourteen guns captured . Thecity was ehcbmpassedi ' ' - " ' The Holsteiners had made 217 prisoners . Another despatch gtates , that on the 27 th the

Schleswig-Holsteiners army left itsi cantonments , and the staff followed on the 28 th , ; : ¦ ' ¦ Tonningen ^ occupied by two companies \ of Holsteiners . A . detachment of Danish prisoners has been brought to Lunden . An important skirmish has taken place near Beckendorf . PRUSSIA . Baron Schleinitz , Ministerof Foreign Affairs , has resigned . Baron Radowitz succeeds to the portfolio . This is considered a great triumph for the Con ^ stitutionel party . INTERFERENCE OF PRUSSIA IN HESSE-CASSEL
AFFAIRS . The following despatch has heed addressed by Count Brandenburg , the Prussian minister , to Herr von Thile , at Frankfort-on-the-Maine . ' In the first note which the royal government forwarded to that of the electorate , under date the 12 th of the present month , - we already pointed out that , at the present time , there existed » in Germany no organ recognised on all sides , b y which the complication existing in the electorate of Hesse can be solved . In the . meanwhile , however , it has come to our knowledge that the electoral government , has applied to the assembly of . plenipotentiaries of certain German Governments , which has assumed the name at Frankfort of diet of the confederation .
' We hold it to be our duty on this subject to inform the , electoral government that . we ' . dp not recognise this assembly as the German diet , nor do we recognise it as the organ of the German union { and we therefore most decidedly declare that iwe cannot and will not recoRnise av legal acts any decisions which may be taken by the same in the name of the union , or which the same may assume to be acts of the highest federal authority in reference to the affairs of the electorate of Hesse-Further , that of whatever kind these acts may be , and considering the relations of a country , which apart from all other obligation , is placed as Iregards its geographical position , in the nearest and most "important relation to the Prussian monarchy , we reserve for the future any further decision which maybe required by duty to Germany to our own country . ( Signed ) Von Brandenbphgh .
-HESSE CASSEL . Matters , continue to assume a formidable and complicated aspect at Hesse . Cassel . The . resolution , of the Frankfort ' Assembly to intervene in the passive revolution , in the first instance , > fay . authorising the . Elector to employ such coercive , means as are at his ¦ ¦! disposal , in order to enforce > his ordinances of the 4 th and 7 th ult ; , leaving * 'ulterior measures , in case of . failure , to be determined upon , has produced no other effect on the standing committee , or , as it may bein . faclcailed ; the ; , de facto power , than the most unequivocal . resistance ! . The decree . of the .. , Federal Assembly was no sooner made known at Cassel . than the committee , drew
up a protest against the . same , ' declaring'the'Frankfort Assembly to be illegal , its resolutions invalid , and all acts tending to interference in the affairs of Hesse to be an' attempt against the , security ; and independence of a sovereign state . ; They further declared that tbey place fberpselyes and , country under theprotection , of the law of nations ,. and that they will oppose any attempt to . enforceVthe decrees of the Federal Assembly by all constitutional means at their disposal . : < The Court of Appeal of Greifswold has acquitted M . Hassenpflug" of the charge of forgery brought against him—or rather it has reversed the condemnatory sentence of the . lower court . :
¦ MBCKLENBURG . SCHV / ERIN . . . Matters in . Mecklenburg-Schwerin seem to be progressing , towards the same dissensionbetween the duke and his people as in Hesse Cassel . The constitution sworn to by the Grand Duke . on the 10 th of October , 1849 , has been violated by a ministerial decree of the 14 th ult , abolishing it altogether , and re-granting to the obnoxious nobility , or junker , their old privileges and rights . The deputies refused to obey what they considered an illegal act and intended to come together on the 24 th ult . at the appointed time , for the purpose of carrying on their deliberations . On the previous day , however , the president of the Chamber was seized by the police and carried to prison . The members belonging to the Left quitted Schwann immediately
afterwards , and from the village of Oatort issued a protest against the illegal proceedings of the government . It is signed by twenty-six members , and is distinguished by great , moderation . . The whole of the . grand duchy , is in a high state , of excitement , and the military force it possesses is in readiness to quell any disturbance at the first , sign of an outbreak . It will hardly be necessary , however , for them to act ; the population of Hessen have given so brilliant an example of the advantages of passive resistance , and the Prussian troops are too near the Mecklenburg frontier to render it likely that resistance will be attempted by the people ., The Engere Auschuss of the nobilty and landed proprietors , abolished for ever in 1848 , is to be . re-opened on the 28 th ult , by a ducal commissioner , and one of their first measures will be the immediate restoration of
their feudal privileges to their full extent . HESSE-DARMSTADT . On the afternoon of the . 27 th ult ., immediately after the division on the question of supplies , the Chamber was dissolved by a sovereign edict . The proclamation speaks of a new election to take , place as soon as possible , but does not mention the existing electoral law .
AUSTRIA . The Austrian government are evidently disposed to push their interference in the affairs of Hesse Cassel to the extreme , and thus . come into , collision with Prussia . General Haynau ,. who has twice been with the Emperor since his return , will probably leave Vienna on the 27 th ult . During his second audience , which lasted nearly two hours , he probably gave his Sovereign a full account of the reception he had met with in London . Permission has been granted to about 150 Hungarians to return from Constantinople tb their native country .
A letter from Frankfort , Sept . 25 , says : — ' Hassenpflug ' s day is well nigh over . The ( Austrian plenipotentiaries are diligently seeking a better man and the prince is bitterly lamenting that he has to pay 4 , 000 thalers a year out . of his pocket for the services of a man who is always bringing' him into scrapes . The squadron of the 12 th Hussars garrisoned here will leave in a fewdays for Westphalia , and be replaced by a squadron of the 8 th Ulan Regiment . It is reported that Prussia is making new preparations to oppose the threatened intervention . '
The Bavarian corps in the neighbourhood of Aschaffenburg was reinforced on the 24 th ult . by the arrival of a mixed field and flying battery , with four squadrons of the 2 nd Regiment of Light Horse . Se « veral . battalions of infantry in the interior of Bavaria have received orders to hold themselves iu readiness to march to the frontier .
HANOVER . ,. Letters from Hanover state that orders have been issued to a brigade of troops , amounting to from four to five thousand men , to hold themselves in readiness for service in case of need ; but , with the exception of one or two battalions , placed in observation along the Hessian frontier . no concentration has taken place .
BELGIUM . On the 25 th ult . the King gave a grand dinner to the past and present members of both Chambers , in the Hall of Representatives , which was magnificently decorated for the occasion b y the best Belgian artists . . The King sat in the , centre of the principal table . The Duke . of Brabant , the heir , presumptive , facing him , and his Majestyiand his Royal Highness having on both their sides the President . of the Congress the Presidents of the . former and present Chambers the Ministers , the high functionaries civil arid military , the leading artists and literary men , the members of the legislative and scientific bodies , '& e . Covers were laid for five hundred . The excellent bands of the regiments of Guards and Grenadiers performed several popular pieces during dinner .
After the banquet had been removed , the King rose , the whole assembly imitating his example . His Majesty , in a clear and firm voice , proposed the following toast : —• I propose with all my heart a toast in honour of the National . Congreas and of the legislatures who have consolida ted this work . The future is unknown to us , gentlemen , but we must face with , courage the difficulties with . which it may be fraught . If we remain united—if we preserve a mutual confidence—we shall surmount those difficulties with honour and advantage to our country . ' ( Long and unanimous cheering followed these patriotic words . ) ' When tranquillity was restored . .. '

Congress , ! have the honour to ; propose a oast in honour of ibis | Majesty Leopold I ., King' of the Belgian !}—( loud cheering )—to the KingJih ^ n ty ¦ people , - . to'the elected of the Congress . ( Renewed cheering , and cries of' Long live the King' ) The whole company then repaired to the former Chamber of the Senate , for the sittings of which * new hall has recently been built . There coffee was served ,. andatten o ' clock the Princes left and returned to Laken . .
The speech of the King , in reply to the addresses of the two Chambers , is marked by an excellent feeling . He said :- ' Gentlemen—I am happy to associate in an act of national gratitude toan Assembly imemorable ; amongst all others for their patriotisnvtheir sagacity and . temperance . . An experiment of twenty years has tested , the wisdom aiia solidity of . the work ; the , Congress have ; transmitted to us . All the liberties inscribed in our fundamental
law are respected , extended , andi enjoyed ,, without an y impediment ; . and the best eulogium which can be passed upon the Belgian people is to say , that it has shown itself worthy , of its constitution . If during a period of twenty years Belgium has remained calm and strongjit is because , it has had confidence in its institutions and in its government ; if , on the other hand , the government has been . preserved in every commotion , itis bscause they sought this support in
the institutions and in the sympathy of the nation . May nothing alter this reciprocal confidence ; may the . people , continue , to enjoy their liberties . with the same temperance ; may the constitution , be transmitted . intact to those who will come , after us ; and may the present twentieth anniversary open for Belgium a new era of real greatness and prosperity . ';
ITALY . J Advices' from Rome are of . a nature to indicate that the difference , which has arisen between the Papal ( and Sardinian , Governments is as far from a solution as ever . The question of the Archbishop of Turin is complicated by the recent events at Cagliari , where the Archbishop opposed the . orders of his Government . As- soon , as what had taken place at Cagliari / was made known at Rome , a council of cardinals was convoked , at which Pius ; IX . presided . The Sovereign Pontiff spoke in favour of co npiliatbry . meafiures , but the cardinals oppose anything like an . arrangement , and insist upon severity . The Papal Nuncio at Paris has had various interviews with General Lahitte , with a view , it is said , of soliciting the friendly mediation of France . :
TheCourtof Appeal has sentenced the Arch i bishop of Turin to banishment , and the , sentence was to be executed without delay .
. TUSCANY . ThejMonUore . Toscano' publishes two important grand-ducal decrees ,, dated Florence , September 21 st and 22 nd ., The first runs as follows : — , ' We , Leopold II . ! & c , considering that the political circumstances of Europe , and especially those of Italy and Tuscany , have not permitted and \ do not permit us , for the present , to restore that ; system of representative government , which , granted by us in February 1848 , was afterwards overthrown by revolutionary violence in February 1849 , and which we nevertheless declared it was oar intention to revive , so as not to incur a renewal of similar scenes of disorder ; considering that , ; under the imperative
influence of the . aforesaid . ' circumstances , it is not possible to ; define the , period , when the present precarious state of things may cease ; and , lastly , con . sidering that it is meanwhile indispensable to provide speedily and . efficaciously for the better administration , of the country , and . the . consolidation of order and public tranquillity , retaining as far as the time will permit , the principles , sanctioned by the statute;—we have decreed a decree as follows : —Art . 1 . The : CounciUGeneral of , 'Deputies , the session of which was opened oh the 10 th of
January , 1849 , and then-interrupted by the subsequent revolution of February , is dissolved . Art . 2 . Until a new convocation of the Legislative Assembly be possible all power shall be exercised by us , after consulting the Council of State in the cases requiring its advice , and retaining as far as possible , the principles . sanctionedb y thefundamental statute . Art . 3 . Our council of Ministers is charged to execute the present decree . ' Leopold . ( Countersigned ) . ' Baldasseroni , Landucci , Lami . '
The second decree modifies the laws on the presss . "Proprietors of Newspapers , in actual existence are authorised to continue their publications on condition of observing the articles of this decree . The Minister of the Interior may suspend a journal at a moment ' s notice , and the Council of Ministers may suppress it . The suspension cannot last more than a month . The proprietor may appeal to ; the Council of Ministers . ' against it . Governors and
Prefects may seize , and prevent the distribution of any number of a journal or periodical , which , may appear , dangerous . In that case they must immediately inform the Ministerof the Interior of . such measures , The penal articles of this , decree prescribe fines of lOOf . to 500 / ., and imprisonment varying from five days to two months . The editor , printer , and distributor of a paper during its suspension are all equally liable to be punished for such infraction .
SPAIN . The triumph of the dominant party in the recent elections has' been so complete , that its organs in the press contend that there can be properly no party or political opposition in the next Congress , in which more than nine-tenths of the deputies elect are persons professing the same - political opinions . It is therefore indicated that the next session is to be , peculiarly devoted to important administrative and economical questions , which the . ' Epoca' sums up thus : — .
' The budget ; the conscription laws ; the . arrangement of the debt ; the favourable and prudent resolution ¦ of the . question , of corporation estates ; the reforms that are judged to be necessary in our system of imposts , in customs , in the salt , in the gate dues , and those on consumption ; the concordat-, a practical system which may facilitate the communications and the public works in the countrysuch is the vast programme ef the next session . '
UNITED STATES . The royal mail steamer , Hibernia , arrived at Liverpool on the 29 th , with journals and letters from New , York to the 17 th ult , Boston totte 18 th , Halifax to , the 20 th , and Montreal to the ' . 17 th . . A telegraphic despatch from New York had been received at Halifax bringing down the news to the 20 th ult . Rumours of another intended attack on Cuba were exciting uneasiness , but government were prepared to meet and suppress any movement of the kind . ' ' The House of Representatives had passed a bill appropriating 3 , 250 , 000 dollars tomeet the investment under the American indemnity treaty .
The members from California have been admitted into both Houses of Congress , and have taken . their seats .

costly diamond pendant on his breast , as an indication of his rank . Edwin Forrest , the tragedian , had bren arrested on the complaint ' of . Mrs .

navigation . ^ . ; •; . ' : - ¦ : ,,, . .. Private enterprise is also , exerting : itself . exemplarilyto , deyelope the resources of ( this noble province . Take for example : Not many years ago Lake Simcoe might almost , have been considered as outside , the pale qi ' . ' settlement . In the ^ file of the ' . . Torjunto Globe ' , which has just come to hand , we see advertisements which ' show us that Lake Simcoe has become an established link . in the chain of communication between ; Toronto and ; remoter regions beyond it . A line of small stages has ; been ' esta -.

. NOVA' SCOTIA . The ' Nova , ' Scotian , ' of the 19 th ult ., states : — 'We learn that our enterprising countryman , C . D . Archibald Grey , will probably have 600 tons of Londonderry iron ready for shipment this autumn . It is positively asserted that this splendid article will command £ 40 per ton in the British market . ' From the same journal : we learn the mackerel fishing for the season had begun well . ¦« ' The Pictou mines have again , ' says the ( Halifax ) 'Morning ' Chronicle , " ' been the scene of a most serious occurrence ' , , but happily unattended with loss of life .. On Tuesday last , a large portion of the roof of the Albion mines gave way , destroying about thirteen acres of the workings . ' The ' Eastern Chronicle' thus describes the affair :
' For some days past the workmen . had observed symptons of weakness in some portions of the roof , indicated by . the falling off places and flanks of the coal from the top and sides of the workings . The necessary precautions . to prevent any accident were immediately resorted to by Mr . Poole , in sending down large props that w , ere used in supporting the roof in such places-as there was any suspicion attached to but on Tuesday morning last , about eight o ' clock , when the workmen were on . the surf ace at the breakfast hour ; a large portion of thereof fell in and completely choked up the workings , burying beneath'it a' 1 the workmen ' s tools ; and the railway laid down ' from the various boards to the
shafts . The , extent of the workings thus destroyed is about thirteen . acres , and so far as an opinion can now be formed , not only this ,, but those ; portions of the mines hot fallen in ; must be abandoned , as the latter could not be worked' with any ; de : gree of safety' in consequence ' . qf ' 'the ' / - foul air ' which will'immediately accumulate in the part thus ; destroyed . ' / This circumstance , unfortunate , though : it , may be , will not materially interfere with the company ' s business in the way of shipping coal . There is now a sufficient quantity of the article on the banks to answer all order ' s during the season , ' and the new sbaftslately sunk about half a mile ' from the other , have been for
some time raising coals . There is also a road from the new shafts to , the old railroad about one third of a mile in lengt ^ ^ all , gravelled and completed ready for the laying . down of the , rails ,, so that there need : be no . apprehension of the company not being able- to . supply any demand that ; may offer . The surface of : the ground shows no evidence of the commotion which ' has taken place below , except in a variety of ' cracks or fissures , varying from the smallest perceptible space to four or five inches in width , and in , some , instances the cracking of the walls and ceiling of ^ ome of the workmen ' s houses , The dwellings . near the sunken part were at first abandoned by the inmates , but we understand they are again occupied .
