      France. M. Marcbais Has Been Aet At Libe...

      FRANCE . M . Marcbais has been aet at liberty . After being interrogated , it appeared that nothing could be laid « 0 his charge . His letter to Ledru-Rollin , which so mysteriously disappeared in Judge Carre ' s presence , had been read by tbe commissioner of police , who made an extract from it , but neither in the extract aor in the commissioner ' s memory could any unlawful matter be found . M , PUhetle , formerly secretary to M . Delescluse , has also been discharged from custody . Thus two out ef the very few names of any prominence iu the list of so-called conspirators are already erased from it .

      It it stated in the ' Journal d'Argenton , ' of the 8 th instant , that the procureur of the republic in the arrondiseement of Mortagne has instituted a prosecution against M . Garnier Pages , the former member of the provisional government , for demagogical speeches lately made by him in the neighbourhood . It does not . pp ** *! ' « " « ° "eu « Wfl S ^ tiemanisia actual custody , bnt he has been subiected to a long interrogatory . The Prefect of the Boucbes-du-Rhone , by an edict of Sept . 2 , ha « prohibited tbe wearing or exhibiting in public of any sign or symbol calculated to propagate the spirit of rebellion , or to trouble tbe public peace , such as red bonnets or caps , red girdles or cravats , pieces of red stuff about the neck or on the breastor any other distinctive party sign .

      , While auch extraordinary precautions are taken in the provinces against perilous red , the immaculate white colour finds more favour in Paris . M . Mtcolci , the bookseller of the Quai d'Orfevres , and M . Janson , his printer , have been tried for publishing a placard entitled ' Manifesto of a Legitimist , ' by Viscount le Serrec de Kervilly , ornamented with the Bourbon lilies . The legal description of this offence was the publication ef seditious emblems tending to provoke rebellion . The counsel for the defence pleaded the whole history of France , which , he said , proved that the « fleur-de-lys' could never be the symbol . of disorder . This argument prevailed , and both the prisoners were acquitted .

      The ' Moniteur' contains a decree promulgating the convention of February 5 , 1848 , between bis then Majesty , Louis Philippe , and the free Hanseatic town of Hamburg , for the reciprocal extradition of fugitive criminals in France and Hamburg . Another decree directs that rough cast iron (* fonte brute /) destined to be made up into machinery for re-exportation , shall hereafter be admitted into France duty free , whether arriving by sea or land , and whether in French ships , or the ships of the exporting country . In the latter case a declaration of tbe origin of tbe iron trill be required . Sufficient security must be given for the re-exportation , or replacement in bond of the weight of metal imported .

      The ' Paine * states that it is in contemplation to extend the new regulations concerning foreigners to every department of France . M . Garlier ' i humour for protecting society by cramming tbe cells of the Sue Mazas has burst out into fresh activity . A regular razzia has been made pon the habitations o ! the thirty Hungarians who reside in Paris . The apartments of M . Vukovicz , Kossuth ' s Minister of Justice , have been visited with the minutest scrutiny ; all his papers seized rod examined ) and he himself threatened with expulsion ; bnt , nothing appearing against hiro , he has been left unmolested further . Colonel Kiss de Nemeskir , who commanded at Bnda for the Diet

      previous to WindWchgratzi ' s occupation of that fortress , has been arrested in his lodgings , and conveyed to the prefecture of police . Colonel Kiss has been very quietly pursuing the study of his profession as military engineer ; his arrest has thrown his friends and fellow countrymen into consternation , and the greater part of them tremble under the apprehension of a similar blow . He was seized as president of the Hungarian committee . This position was held by Count Teleky , who is absent , and has since devolved upon M . Vukowicz . Colonel Kiss was obliged to pass the night in confinement at file Prefecture ; was submitted to a searching interrogatory the following morning as to bis connexion

      with schemes for revolutionising Europe , and then liberated with the intimation that he would receive orders to quit Paris I in three days . Several other Hungarians are menaced with immediate expulsion . Ail foreigners who are without families , or whose means of existence are doubtful , must quit France in twenty-four hours after receiving notice to that effect , Already a great number among them have been subjected to this alternative . The faubourg of St . Antoine presents at this moment a piteous spectacle . Oar readers are aware that the journeymen

      cabinet makers in that populous and democratic quarter are almost all Germans or Belgians ; tho : e among them whose employers will guarantee their morality , or who declare that they will no longer employ them , are expelled without indulgence . Crowds of them may be seen directing their steps towards tbe barriers with knapsacks on their backs and tears in their eyes . Several democratic tradesmen and men who had been amnestied have been the object of domiciliary visits , and have been put into prison .

      The Democratic papers publish a declaration of Ledru Rollin and others , dated the 9 th , giving the most emphatic and explicit denial to the absurd allegations of the privileged press , which attribute to the editors of the ' Voix du Present , ' and the leading members of the central democratic committee in London , an intimate connexion with the pretended French-German plot . This document states that the only editor of tbe 'Voix du Proscrit * present in France has been arrested , together with the persons whom chance brought to bis office at the moment of the visit of the police . The list of suscribers and the accounts and commercial correspondence were seized under the

      pretext that the « Voix du Proscrit' was the soul and chief engine of the pretended plot . Meanwhile the provisional gerant of tbe paper was arrested at St . Amand , and conveyed to Paris handcuffed ; and the sister of M . Chotteau , the gerant , now in detention at Doual for a press offence , was conduced to the prison of Valenciennes , for resisting the brutal attempts of the gendarmes to search her person . Ledru Eollia and his colleagues declare that their political acts have been confined to publications in the journal , which the French government is vainly striving to extinguish ; that they have never had the least relation with the' German Committee' of Paris , accused bv the police of

      being one of tbe wheels of this pretended plot ; and that they defy the government to produce any impeachable document emanating from them but the articles published in their paper . The assertion that documents of importance had been seized at the house of M . Ledru Rollin is aridiculous blunder , for his habitation is in a country where the police do not invade private domiciles at the bidding of a foreign government—even supposing there were any compromising paper , which there is not , in his roosis to seize . Finally , the more the French government proves , by its persecution of the ' Toix da Proscrit / its dread of the principles and policy

      advocated by that journal , the more its editors will deem it their duty to devote themselves to the task of providing that policy with an organ . This task they trust 10 accomplish iua few days . This statement is signed by Dnpont , L ? dru Rollin , Delescluze , and Rihayrolles . Another document , signed by Bratiano , for the Central European Committee , declares that it is completely false that documents emanating from the committee have been seized * adding , that if the Parisian police have obtained possession of any compromising papers , such are the work of men who have never belonged , fir or near , to the committee . It concludes by defying the French government ta publish any document

      establishing a connexion between tbe European Committee and the pretended French-German plot . A third document , signed by M . Taus 3 r . au , for tbe Society of German Agitation at London , repudiates the least knowledge of the pretended plot in the following terms : — * The French paper the " Debats , " and with it all the reactionary papers of Paris , taking for their text the manifesto recently published by the German Agitation Society of London , seek to connect it with the pretended conspiracy , for which a great numbar of German citizens have just been arrested at p The German AgUaUon Sofl .

      the French police . In presence of this affirmation , which facts will undoubtedly confirm , no person can now be justified in seeking to fix upon tbe German Agitation Society of London the responsibility which has been sought to be attached to it , and which it repudiates in the most absolute manner . In the name of the Agitation Society of London , . ' Charles Tacsknat ; . ' Park , Sunday . —The ' Moniteur' contains , a decree placing the department of the Ardeche in a state of eiege . M . Leon Faucher developes In an address to the President the motives which render this tyrannical measure necessary in his opinion . :

      The intention of instituting a judicial inquiry into the affair of M . Carre , judge of the Court of Appeal , has been dropped . Thus the scandalous insinuations of the * Patrie' against that legal functionary , merely because he was appointed by M . Cremieux , fall to the ground . The number of municipal magistrates lately suspended of dismissed is so great that it has become impossible for the chronicler to keep pace with the government , and to keep an accurate account of them . The whole local administration of France is

      in a state of confusion , for dismissal are in almost every instance followed by numerous resignations . In the Cote d'Or two lads , employed in repairing the . roof of an inn at Reneve , amuied themselves by scratching upon the chimney ' Vive la republi . que d . s . ' Two sharp-sighted gendarmes found out tbe seditious inscription , and forthwith hauled up the young democratic tilers before the ' juge de pais ? ' who forthwith drew up a proces verbal of the crime , in tbe presence of the mayor and tbe gardechampetrc . The mayor of the neighbouring commune of Jaucigny , M . Robinet , thought the story rather a funny one , and repeated it as a thing

      to laugh at ; he was immediately suspended by the prefect , M . Jean Debry . The same prefect suspended M . Guillemin , Mayor of Ruffey-lez-Echirey , tor having declined to legalise certain doubtful signatures to a petition for revision . For such a heinous crime as this , however , suspension—to which alone the powers of a prefect extendwas not enough . The mayor felt this himself , and tendered his resignation . The zealous prefect refused to accept it , but wrote to Paris for a decree of dismissal , which was instantly sent as requested . Three municipal councillors resigned .

      The President on Monday laid the foundation stone of the central market places proposed to be erected in Paris . His reception is said to have been , on the whole , of a nature gratifying to him . self . The conclusion of his short speech was as follows : — ' In laying this first stone of an edifice of which tbe destination is so eminently popular , I deliver myself with confidence to the hope that , with the support of good citizens , and with the protection of Heaven , it will be given to us to lay upon the soil of France some foundations whereupon will be erected a social edifice sufficiently solid to offer a shelter against the violence and mobility of human passions . '

      Another son of Victor Hugo has been condemned to nine months' imprisonment , and fined 2 , 000 f . for an article on the expulsion of foreigners from France . M . Erdaa , director of the paper the ' Evenement , ' is condemned to a like punishment , and the paper itself suspended for a month . The condemnation of the ' Evenement' has caused more excitement than might have been expected from the apathy displayed on so many occasions of the kind , as it is observed by M . de

      Girardin . The following journals have within a short time been prosecuted and punished : —The ' Reforme , * the ' People , ' tbe ' Vote Universel , ' tbe Presse , * the ' Siecle / the « Republique , ' the « Charivari , ' and the ' Opinion Publique . ' Other journals have been either threatened or prosecuted without effect . As for the ' Evenement / it counts four editors in prison , amongst whom are the two young sons of Victor Hugo . It is rumoured that soms other departments are to be declared in a state of siege .

      ITALY . Naples . —A correspondent sends the following letter from Naples , dated tbe 4 th inst .: ' Whilst the attention of civilised Europe is turned with mingled indignation and pity towards the Neapolitan government , and its miserable agents , the grand criminal court has again been the scene of fresh injustice and cruelty . I have already referred to the 2 trials , called " the 5 th of September , " when the camarilla sent a priest , with a mob of paid lazzaroni into the streets shouting , " Down with the constitution . " The men who opposed this revolutionary band ( that is tbe leaders ) have received their final sentence from those who judged Poerio and his companions , and twenty-five are condemned to various periods at the galleys , which , put together , makes 500 years in irons ; the only offence

      being a fight with a mob of men who ought pre . cisely , according to law , to occupy their places and wear their chains . But this is not all—observe the illegality . On the 25 th of August , the president Judge Navaro was ill . As there were supplementary judges the sentence might have been delivered without the notorious polluter of justice . But no—Navaro knew his companions were divided , and he wished to be present . There were out of the eight four for acquittal . One of these men , Amato , unwilling to sell his conscience , either was ill , or feigned illness , whereupon Navaro , who had now recovered , appointed Morelli in his place—a man conspicuous for what is here termed "loyalty . " The president had now his majority , and the result was as I have stated above , a condemnation of twenty , five to irons . These unhappy men are all of the

      lower class . ' The trials of May 15 th , 1848 , have advanced a step . I should observe , this group of prisoners , some of whom have been in dungeons for nearly two years , consists of forty . five individuals ; two were ministers of the crown , and the rest were members of parliament and men of property . Tbe Atto di Accusa charges them with " conspiring against the internal security of the state , for the purpose of destroying or changing the actual form of government , by exciting the subjects and

      inhabitants of the kingdom to arm themselves against tbe royal authority , as well as having actually produced civil war between the inhabitants of the same population—offences consummated in the capital on the 15 th of May , 1848 , according to tbe penal laws 123 , 129 . " Does it ever occur to the members of the Neapolitan government , that this accusation would precisely apply to themselves , as de jure they are constitutional ministers who , for more than two years , have systematically " destroyed and changed the actual form of government . "

      His Neapolitan Majesty very narrowly escaped death on Saturday last . The king was driving some members of the royal family in the vicinity of the Caserta Kail way , and was about to cross the line , not observing a train was rapidly advancing . A countryman rnsbed forward and held the horses ' heads , to tbe great consternation of his Majesty , who , not perceiving the danger , imagined a hostile intention on the part of the man who was in fact saving his life . 1 Late accounts from the scene of the terrible

      earthquake by no means diminish the accredited extent of loss of life and property . Up to the present moment the government is unable to publish the returns , as excavations continue . Every assistance has been offered to the sufferers , and we have concerts and theatrical representations in aid of tbe inhabitants of Melfi , so many of whom are homeless and in poverty . ' I should observe , the Neapolitan government is using artful exertions to buy up if possible everyone who has any connexion with the press . As they have taken up a line of defence , you may expect any amount of falsehood . "Why did not Mr . Gladstone go to tbe King ? " is the cry of the camarilla . Mr . B . Cochrane did go to the King . '

      ' P . S . —The latest accounts from the island of Iscbia states that Poerio is still in bed , chained to the wall . His companion , Pironti , is rquallj cruelly treated . This is the mode of punishing prisoners whose only offence was that of believing in the King ' s solemn oath . Pio Nono is the special adviser of Ferdinando II ., and Ferdinando is the special favourite of the Pope ! Birds of a featherlet us say , fiends of a feather , & c * NAPLES . —The infamous Pecchemeda , the minister of police , continues his course , and prosecutes his war of vengeance against constitutional

      opinion with a vigour worthy of a better cause . More illegal arrests , and fresh degradations of tbe courts of justice , followed each other ' hot and fast . ' A man named Aversans , one of the condemned of tbe trials called those of September 5 , declared in the public court-yard of the prisoners , that his statements were all false ; that to save himself he had said what tbe police agent told him to say : in fact , that he had allowed himself to be corrupted . Shortly after , his irons were taken off and he received the royal pardon . His companions were removed to Ischia . An unknown example of injustice characterised this trial , since the judges

      France. M. Marcbais Has Been Aet At Libe...

      actually condemned to irons for periods of twenty and twenty-five yean some men for whom tbe public prosecutor only asked a alight correctional sentence . The ' Genoa Gazette ' of the 12 th inst . quotes the following under date Nice , tbe 10 th : — ' At about eleven o ' clock on Saturday night , a band of forty-eight peasants from the county of Nice were returning from Broe , a French village , close to the frontier , with a quantity of salt , the price of which la Prance is one-half less than in Piedmont . The Customs officers , to the number of thirty-eight , having opposed their passage , a dreadful collision ensued , in which twelve of the peasants were tilled . " "Some of the Customs ' officers were slightly wounded . ' ¦

      GERMANY . < , The ' . Hanover Zeitung' communicates the following resolution of the Bund , under the , date of the 23 rd of August : —' The Federal Assembly demands of the several federal governments to examine the institutions that have been called into existence since 1848 and , if they should not be found in harmony with tbe constitution of the Bund , to make the requisite alterations without delay . In case any governments should meet with hindrances in

      carrying out this object in a constitutional way , they will have to consider whether , it will be . necessary to have a commission from the Bund to effect their purpose . . Tbe Bund has determined to appoint a committee to make a report on such cases , and also with all expedition to draw up the plan of a federal law of the press to oppose and correct the at present prevailing abuses of the press . ' Two or three ambassadors , tbe Hanoverian paper adds , pleaded want of instructions for not acceding to this resolution .

      The protest of Count . Furstenburg , against tbe convocation of the Diets , appears to have made great sensation in tbe Rhine country . This protest has been followed by another , that of M . Bethman Hollweg . Count Furstenburg is known as almost an ultra-conservative , which greatly increases the significance of bis protest , and a correspondence from Cologne asserts that this act which was . announced at the Count's own request in tbe' Cologne Gazette , ' to which publication he had been formerly unfriendly , has greatly augmented the opposition to the Diet in the Rhine provinces . In Cologne out of one thousand electors only sixty have appeared .

      , AUSTRIA . VIENNA , Sept . lS . —Dispatches have been received from Paris announcing that the French Go vernment intends to send to the frontier the -Aus trian subjects implicated in the late plot , ' in order that their own Government may deal with them accordingly . There is mention made of a vote addressed to tbeEnglish Government by all the powers relative to the dangers arising from the plots of the refugees in London .

      TURKEY . Kossuth . —The Paris correspondent of the ' Daily News' says : — < I may mention that Kossuth is expected to land at Southampton on the 6 th of October , the anniversary of the murder of Count Latour at Vienna , of the butchery of Louis Battbiany at Pestb , and of tbe other' Hungarian generals at Arad . Kossuth will embark at the port near Broussa . As the American steamer destined to convey this liberated patriot to England is out of repair , he will embark on board an English steamer . '

      LIBERATION OF KOSSUTH , A letter from Malta , dated 12 th of September , says— 'By the French steamer which arrived yesterday from Constantinople we have received the welcome intelligence of the liberation of Kossuth and his companions from Kutajah on the 1 st inst . The Mississippi had arrived safely at Constantinople . Its cabins were fitted up in the most elegant manner , so as to accommodate Kossuth , his family , and all bis : party . A Turkish steamer , was- to leave at once for Giemeleck to take them on board and convey them to the Dardanelles , where the Mississippi was to be in readiness to receive them . Nothing could exceed the kindness , the attentions of the Turkish government . Tbe Pacha of Broussa , in accordance with orders forwarded to him from

      Constantinople , sent no less than fifty carriages to con * vey the exiles to the point of their embarcation . Among those mentioned as likely to accompany Kossuth , we find the well-known names of the two Perczels , of Vissowski , a general , and ot Asboth . His secretary and physician will also go with bim . Count Batthiany ' s movements' are uncertain . His state of health is such that he is anxious to get to Paris , in order to consult some of the French faculty . The Countess Batthiany has been using all her endeavours with the French Ambassador to obtain permission for this change in his destination . *

      By the Growler , which arrived this ( Thursday ) morning , we have heard that Kossuth and his companions were all safe on board of . the Mississippi , and that she had left tbe Dardanelles with them on the 7 th inst . for Avaericasr-Evening Sun .

      AUSTRALIA . THE GOLD EXCITEMENT . —NEWS PROM OMHR . We have received advices from Sydney to the 2 nd June . Every arrival , and every letter from Batburst , confirms the productiveness of the mines , and the excitement which has revolutionised Bat hurst has extended to Sydney . Numbers have set off for the mines , and though -many come back with exhausted means , other recruits are constantly setting out . Opbir is the grand subject of conversation , and those who have not already started for the mines , have engaged in speculations connected with the supply of tbe mines . One advertises cradles , another shovels , a third magnets , and the papers are filled with announcements relative to the subject of all absorbing interest .

      CUBA . Advices up to the 4 tb inst . state ( hat Semiofficial accounts received from Washington staie the government possess information that , on tbe 25 th Aug ., Lopez had been able to maintain himself , but with very reduced force ; not one Creole had joined him , his prospects were desperate ; it is a personal struggle for his own and the lives Of his few remaining followers ; no reinforcements have gone from New Orleans , and the government is successfully exerting itself to prevent any . Tbe collector of customs at New Orleans has been removed from office for alleged indifference in Cuban matters .

      ALGIERS . Tbe last letters from Algiers state that a new chief , named Mohamed ben AbdalJah , is going through some of the provinces of the south , endeavouring to rouse the population against the French . Troops have been sent to arrest him and bis partisans .

      A Hoax Upon A Large Scale, Which Might H...

      A hoax upon a large scale , which might have led to serious consequences , was perpetrated on Sunday at tbe barrier of Cuvette , near the Pontde Crenelle , Paris . The directors of the future—or pretended future—national fetes had erected an embryo model , near the bridge of a grand triumphal arch , which , according to their programme , is to adorn the Champs Elysees during the fetes . Not more than 100 carpenters had been employed upon this work . six

      Daring days of last week a man , representing himself to bean agent of the directors , was installed in an eating-house near the bridge , and enaaged all tbe workmen that he could meet with . To even one he gave a card and number , directing him lo come to the Pont de Crenelle on Sunday , when his particular work would he assigned to him . Accordingly , on that day about 4 , 000 artisans assembled at the bridge . The great contractor and tbe eatinghouse keeper bad both disappeared , and tbe armv oi workmen were dispersed by an armed force , " t « whom , however , they appear to have offered not the

      slightest resistance . As to the motive for this extraordinary proceeding , nothing is known . It is suggested that the only feasible one must have been the hope , oh the part of some political party or another , that an insurrection might grow out of a large discontented assemblage . A curious trial took place recently in Paris . On the 26 th of June last , as the President was returning from a review loud ' cries of' Vive la Republique' were Uttered on the Pont de Jena . A man named L eger answered these cries by shouting 'No republic ; ' « Down with the

      republic . He was arrested upon the spot , and a card showing bim to be a member of the society of the 10 th of December was found upon his person . On his trial for the utterance of illegal cries hi * advocate urged that he was an honest workman , the father of a family , often out of work , but alwa \ s the defender of order , andas such he had been wounded at the barricades . The advocate-general , supporting tbe prosecution , was willing to give the prisoner the benefit of his ' antecedents' to the extent of admitting ' extenuating circumstances , ' but the jurv returned a verdict of Not guilty ,

      The « Rostock Gazette * states that the Pope is about to create at Hamburgh the aee oi a bishonric for Northern Germany . e

      A newspjper of Martinique has been seized for copying an article of M . Scbcelcher , who is to be prosecuted for the authorship . The number of councillors-general in France is 2 , 827 . Of these , 1 , 794 have voted in favour of the revision of the constitution , 673 against , 405 abstained or were absent . Tbe inauguration of the statute of Joan of Arc , the work of Louis Philippe ' s daughter , the Princess Marie , has taken place at Orleans , without any ceremony or speech , but the inhabitants appeared deeply interested in the event . !

      A . M . Bastide , a captain in the national guarof Vangirard , has been condemned to two years'imprisonment as a vagabond , a beggar , and a cheat . This unlucky man was a republican poet in the time * of Louis" Philippe , and published ' a weekly satire called ' Tisiphone . ' From 1834 to 1838 he was many times in prison for political libels . After February , 1848 , he was president of the Club of the Friends of the Republic ,, and had influence enough to procure bis election as a captain of na tional guards . He has lately been in great distress , and , according to the accusation against him , has obtained subscriptions for poems which he never intended to publish . On the day of his arrest he borrowed forty sous of a wine merchant to prevent him from selling bis uniform , which , according to one witness , ' he had very frequently deposited as

      security for money . The French Minister ot the Interior Has withdrawn the license as booksellers from Lecomete de Beaumont and Lebland , 149 , Rue St . Denis . The commissary of police of the section St . Sauveur closed their shop , and affixed his seals on it . The crime of these booksellers has been to promote the sale of democratic works . v ¦ •_ - ¦ The expenses of the police department m Rome for the current year have been increased by 3 , 360 seudi ( 17 , 100 / r . ) Saphir , the well-known Viennese humorist , was arrested some days ago for writing a funny article on the recent ordinances abolishing the constitution . He bas already been tried and sentenced to three months' imprisonment and three months' suspension of his journal the' Humorist . '

      A letter from Rome states that his Holiness the Pope has sent 4 , 000 seudi ( 24 , 000 fr . ) to Naples for the relief of the victims of ihe late earthquake in Basilicata . Five prisoners lying in the hospital at tbe bagne of Toulon lately died of poison , in consequence of an error committed by the bead apothecary of tie establishment , who had placed on one bottle a di * rection intended for another . Four of the patients died that night , and tbe fifth next morning . During three months of the present year the mounted police in Bohemia arrested no less than fifteen thousand persons , and were praised for their efficiency by the government .

      His Neapolitan Majesty , in opposition , we suppose , to the policy of Piedmont , has lately granted some of the many demands made by the Roman Church to punish offences of religion—such . as absence from the confessional , non-observance of featas , the ! mass , & c , & c—In fact , a Holy Office' will be instituted in' Naples , and a power given to the church which hitherto the sovereigns have resisted . ¦

An eminent medical man pronounced it as a very bad case of scrofula , and prescribed for a considerable time without effect . The disease then for years went on gradually increasing in virulence , when besides the ulcer in the neck , another formed below the left knee , and a third under the eye , besides seven others on the left arm , with a tumour between the eyes which was expected to break . During the whole of the time my suffering boy had received the constant advice of the most celebrated-medical gentlemen at Cheltenham , besides being for several months at the General Hospital
