France. , On Wednesday, The Hill For Gra...
FRANCE . , On Wednesday , the hill for granting pensions to the wounded and to the families of the victims of February and June , 1848 , was rejected by 3 / 2 votes to 226 . Oa this infamous decision the correspondent of the ' Morning Chronicle * observes : 'The debate which-took place in the Assembly on the bill relative to the pensions of the victims of February , is a strong instance of the daily increasice boldness of the party now in power on the
Republic and its institutions . From the commencement to tbe close of the discussion , insult upon insult was heaped uoon the Republic , not only by the partisans of the Monarchy , but even by the Ministers of the Republic itself ; and these sallies were received with thunders of applause from the benches occupied by the party of order ; while the attempts made by M . Pascal Duprat and M . Cremieux , to obtain some show of respect for a form of government which all parties had accepted and sworn to serve , were drowned in groans . '
proudhon's trial Paris , Saturday . — M . Proudhon appeared yesterday before the Court of Assize of the Seme to take his trial for having , in an anicb in the Voix daPeupl- / on the last election for Pans , committed the offences-first , of exciting to hatred and contempt of the government ; next , of endeavouring to disturb public peace by exciting citizens against each other ; thirdly , of having excited the army to abandon its dutv * and to disobey Us chiefs . M . laugrand , the publisher of the ' Voix du Peuple ' was included in the indictment for having published the article . Tbe case excited extraordinary interest , and the court was crowded to excess .
In answer to the usual questions . Pioudhon stated his age to be forty-one , his profession that of a journalist , his birth-place Besancon . The tdvocate-general then read the article , and commented on it in strong terms . It was very violent , md , among other things , charged the government , llmost in direct terms , with having intentionally Caused the frightful disaster at Augers , to punish the army for its socialist votes , and it also threatened civil war in the event of M . Leclsre being elected in the place of M . Eugene Sue .
M . Proudhon then presented bis own defence-He read it from a manuscript , in order , as he said in the beginning , that , if be should hereafter abandon the principles set forth in it , he might incur the responsibility of violating his word and his opinions . The' Voix de Peuple . ' he said , bad been seized ten times in three and a half months , its printer had been deprived of his license , and , for a month past , the journal had ceased to appear . ' I thought , ' he continued , ' that , after having killed Us , the government would have had the goad taste to leave us quiet , and I did , I confess , expect that this prosecuiioa would not have been followed up ; But we live at a period in which words and things
teem to have changed their meaning , m -which Jove and respect to tbe government are measured by the contempt and hatred felt for the Republic , in which a man is reputed an enemy of family and octet ? if be does not admit the re-establishment of privilege , in which the enemies of order invoke no other reason than that of the sword , in which it 90 longer suffices to brnte force to be bratal . but it makes itself hypocritical ! ' The defendant then entered into an elaborate argument to prove that tbe Charges against him and bis co-defendant were unfounded . ' It is always tbe same silly accusation which is made against us , ' he said , 'that of deairing to overthrow the government of the republic .
tbaugh we are occupied alone ra defending that government ; of causing division in society , though we preach the fusion of interests ; of corrupting the soldier in order to secure impunity for revolt , though our principle is that under tbe regime of universal suffrage , insurrection is not only a fault but a crime ' . In truth , we are tempted to believe , that if the government proceeds against us with so much severity , and for offences against which we protest with all the energy of our consciences , it is because it requires expiatory victims for its own attacks on the principles of our institutions ? ' After some further observations , M . Proudhon said that M . de Monialemberf , a few days ago , accused him of
supporting the republic as a means of arriving at Socialism ; and yet tbe accusation now mads against him was of attacking the republic ! He declared that he would consent to accept any constitution , and even the restriction of the suffrage , pro-Tided the government would undertake to respect the fundamental principle of equality ; for that principle would , be said , of necessity lead to equality in work , and equality in fortunes . What we seek , ' he observed , * is to realise Socialism , and to do that the constitution suffices . Any government , indeed , would suffice to lead us fo Socialism , for the revolution was social and not political . A retrogade government , ' he continued , ' shrinking from the consequences of its principles , interdicts a certain road to the social revolution but it will seek other paths
—it will pass , be assured ; you can no more drive hack Socialism , than you can prevent the Seine from flowing cowards he ocean — you would do much better to try to direct it . Re-establish , if you will the old sorn-out privileges , tbe rights of primogeni ture , feudal rights , corporations — all that will lead to nothing so long as the economic revolution shall not be laid down ; take us hack to the commencement of the world , to the terrestial paradise , do over again the work of sixty centuries-and all that will lead to nothing ! ' Proudhon then protested that he had never intended to accuse the ministry of having premeditated tbe catastrophe at Angers ; that so fax from dividing society he sought the reconciliation of all classes , and that his opinion was , that the object of the revolution was to efface old distinctions of classes — to make a better division of
fortunes ; and that so far from wishing to seduce the soldiery , he thought they ought to otey their chiefs and march against those who should attack the law . He concluded thus : — ' I know that political justici is always of a political character , but I dare to hope , notwithstanding the enormous distance which separates j our opinions from ours , that you will not be too severe . What have I done during the last two years ? I have endeavoured to establish the economic revolution on the political revolution and if I have changed the dis positions of the people , the change is that formerly they went to the barricades , and that hew thev do not . I have endeavoured to
create a movement party , advanced in speculation , moderate in practice , enlightened by the lamp of economic truths—I have ende » voueed to found economic liberalism , and political and religious liberalhm . ' M . Madisr de Monijau then presented some observations on behalf of Proudhon , and M . Cremieux pleaded for Laugrand . After hearing the reply of the public prosecutor and the summing up of the President , the jury , after twenty minutes' deliberation , returned a verdict of « Not guilty . ' . The acquittal of Proudhon is considered as a great blow to the coercive system of the government , and a highly important manifestation of public Opinion .
SoNaAY . —The decision of the committee on the Dotation Bill is at last- known . Yesterday , after a Eittinz , which lasted from noon till six o ' clock , and afresh conference with MM . fiaroche , Fould , and Bouher , all the measures of transaction proposed by the minority of tbe committee , and sanctioned by the government , were rejected in succession . The committee then decided by nine votes against six to move tbe assembly to reduce the government ' s bill to tbe following proposition : —« An extraordinary
credit of sixteen hundred thousand francs is opened to the Minister of Finance for the expenses in 1849 and 1850 , occasioned by the installation of the President of tbe Republic This sum shall be charged by halves upon the credits of 1819 and 3850 . ' Singular to add , the members of- the committee who were most forward ia urging this conclusion , M . Creton and Af . de Mornay , both shrank successively from the responsible post of reporter , which was voted to them , and after their refusal detolved upon M . Panda , hv whom it was accepted .
Monday . — Tbe semi-official ' Constiltltionnel contains the following important notice on the decision of the committee on the Dotation Bill : — ' This decision , notwithstanding its gravity , has not , if we are correctly informed , produced any very deep emotion in the head of the state . A new credit , deemed necessary 1 o tbe legitimate action and dignity of the executive power , had been demanded , in the measure indicated by experience . The same opinion prevails to day which prevailed yesterday on the subject of this credit . The President of the Republic indicates what he deems suitable , very indispensable to the elevation of authority . The Assembly has the right of feeling and jadgingv differently from himself , if the bill is not voted u it has been presented the President of the Republic , without renouncing the convictions which experience hv ? ° ' > * ul restrict himself with-

A Socialist , named Herpin , by the Police Court of Paris to pay a fine of twentyfive francs and to be placed under the inspection of the police during five years , for having manufactured fire-arms clandestinely . M . Galvan , a printer , has been sentenced by the Police Court of Paris to pay a fine of- l . OOOf . for having published a political placard without depositing a copy with the Minister . A private iu the 42 nd regiment of the Line was sentenced by court-martial yesterday to imprisonment for two years , for having on the lJhh of May last , cried in the rue des Fosses-du-Temple , in the midst of a mob , 'Vive la Republique Sociale 1 ' A bas Napoleon ! 'and for having resisted the guards who arrested him .
M . West , Prefect of the Bas Rhin , has suspended M . Hans , the Mayor of Niedertronnes , from the exercise of his functions , for having signed as mayor a petition against the : £ lectoral Law . A Socialist named Septfort has been sentenced by the Police Court of Ceret to fifteen days' imprisonment and 3 , 000 f . fine for having in his possession a quantity of ball cartridge and gunpowder . . Two printers , named Brault and Magniez , have been sentenced by the Police Court of Paris to 3 , 000 f . fine , each for having printed two songs , entitled 'The Foreign Invasion' and 'The Cry of the People' without having put their names to them .
A private of the 5 th Regiment of Light Infantry was sentenced to death by the court-martial in Pais on Monday , for having violently assaulted a Lieutenant at Courbevoie on the 22 nd of May last . M . Guilbert , the democratic candidate , has been chosen member of the council general of the Lower Alps by a majority of 528 votes , against 372 obtained by the government candidate . - ' . "Wednesday . —A telegraphic despatch from the French charge d'affaires in London announcing the adoption of Lord Stanley ' s motion , has thrown the
royalists into a state of ecstacy . Already they rub their hands over the presumed fall of the Whigs . The moderate Conservatives , not less rejoiced at the blow dealt on Palraerston , profess some regret for the damage done to the cabinet . The Reds would hail a Tory ministry as affording a ground for propaganda in England , and giving an impulse to the revolution throughout Europe . At the end of his despatch , the French charge d ' affaires adds that this result exceeds the expectations of those who . were most disposed to believe that a check awaited the government . .
The President of the Republic addressed , on the 10 th ( the anniversary of the death of the Marshal ) , a letter to Madame Begeaud , expressive of his profound regret at the loss which France sustained in the death of that distinguished cammander . The letter further announced that her son-in-law , who was Receiver-General of Finance in the Haute Loire , had been promoted to a more . lucrative appointment in the Finisterre . [ Bugeaud was one of the most pitiless ruffians and bloodthirsty scoundrels that ever breathed the breath of life ! Happily , on the 10 th of June , 1849 , the cholera sent him to * glory . ' ]
SWITZERLAND . The municipal elections for Geneva have terminated in the defeat of the ultra-radical party ,- an immense majority of conservatives having been elected . The electors have felt the necessity of uniting against the administrative system of M . Fazy . At B * rne the triumph of tbe liberal conservative party is also complete . The election of Colonel Kurn to tbe presidency of the chief council by 117 votes , and those of such men as MM . Blosch de Reichenbach and Mojchard , men who
have figured in the Sondeibund , prove that the socialist party have to expect a strong opposition . The alarm is very great in the ranks of the revolutionary party . It is said that another note has been received from Prussia on the subject of the presence of the refugees in Swilzeiland , and conu plaining of the conduct of those who inhabit the frontier cantons . The Swiss government is called upou to put an end to the socialist propaganda , end threatens in case of default to close the frontier oh the whole line .
GERMANY . BERLIN , Juxe 14 . —M . Martini , director of the lunatic asylum at Leubus , who was directed by the government to investigate the mental condition of Sefeloge , has reported his opinion that the prisoner is not only at present incapable of rational self-control , hut was under the influence of monomania before 1848 . The ' Westdeutscben Zntung * was again seized on tbe 12 . b . There is reason to expect that the section of the Maine and Weser railway , which extends from Marburg to Lollar , will be opened to public traffic in the course of six weeks . An experimental train has traversed the line with success . The works between Lollar and Siessen are proceeding with great activity . The ' National' and ' Urwahler ' were
confiscated yesterday morning . Several other journals have been stopped in the post-office . A vendor of newspapers has been arrested . The first journal to which an official note has been sent under the new law from the post-office , apprising the editor that the postmaster will not receive any orders or subscriptions for it for the ensuing quarter , is the ' New Konigsburgh Ziitung . ' The editor is simply informed , that the journal 'belongs to that category of papers not calculated to have an account for them opened at the establishment . ' . The royal marufactories are more than usually busv in the construction of arms . A battalion is
supplied with the . new Zundnadel musket every three Weeks ; riflas on the same construction are also constructed -for tbe corps of Chasseurs and Riflemen as the Guard . The proprietors of the National Zeitung ' have at last received a notification from the police authorities of the article which was the cause of the first seizure . The notification was accompanied by the information that the sentence of the court might be expected in a few days . It appears then from this that the last paragraph ' of the new laws , which withdraws offences against the press laws from trial by jury , has already been brought into operation . The government are determined to-lose
no time then in putting down the democratic press . The police , too , are equally ready , and still more officious . The * Constitutional' bas an account of an occurrence which happened in one of the public gardens before the gates of the city the day before yesterday , for tbe truth of which it vouches . It appears that a gentleman , a government officer , was walking quietly about the gardens reading a number of the ' Constitutional / - Just-as he had finished reading , and bad transferred the paper . to his pocket he was stopped by a constable , who
demanded the immediate surrender of the « Natisnal , ' which he declared he had seen in the hands of the gentleman . The gentleman denied that he had a 'National' about him ; the policeman insisted that bis eyesight had not deceived , him , declared that be had been ordered to confiscate all papers read in the streets , and compelled the gentleman by threats of force to produce the paper , and show that he had deceived himself . The gentleman in question endeavoured to procure some hind of apology , but in vain .
The suppression by the police of the mechanics unions continues , together with the examination of the members of those which have already been suppressed . The police are not yet satisfied of the non-existence of the vast political conspi racies which have troubled their digesliun , and nightly repose , since the attempt on the Kings life , by the prisoner Sefeloge . The parliament of Hesse-Cassel was dissolved on the 13 th instant in consequence of the opposition to tbe ministerial pwpasal to grant the taxes for " a period of three years . AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY .
VIENNA , Jose 12 . —The « Gazette' of to day at last contains the long expected ordinance for abolishing the Hungarian Austrian customs frontiers . The whole empire is divided into two customs territories , one of which is formed by the kingdom of Hungary , with Groatiai Slayonia , the Woywodeschaft , Serbia ; and the militarjr frontiers with Transylvaniai ; while the other consists of the rest of the empire , with the exception of Dalmatian which still possesses its particular tariff ; On the 1 st of October , however , this division will cease to

exist , while certnin modifications are already introduced , particularly with respect to the importation of cattle for slaughtering . The attempts madefy the government to obliterate every memorial of the leaders of the Hungarian . insurrection border on the ridiculous .

PIEDMONT . —It appears that a part y . of Italian refugees who had served in Hungary under Kossuth , have arrived in the island of Sardinia , under the command of Colonel Monti ; formerly in the Austrian service . General La Mormora , commandant of the island , having received Colonel Monti and his legion with great cordiality , and pronounced a speech professing his . esteem for their valour , the official ' Milan Gazette' of the 10 th , devotes a leader to the circumstance , and comments severely upon General La Mormora ' s speech , expressing ' astonishment at the manner in which the latter has received a party of deserters , and adding , ' that if such an example should find imitators , there would he an end to fidelity in armies and they would degenerate into hordes of adventurers ' .

RUSSIA AND THE GREEK QUESTION . The announcement made by our Paris correspondent in his letter of Friday last , that the Russian government bad protested against the manner in which the Greek affair was terminated by Mr .

INDIA AND CHINA .. Latest News . —India is tranquil throughout . No further disturbances have occurred * on'the Affgban frontier of the Punjab . The passes between Peshawur and Kohat still remain unsafe . It is generally considered unadviaaUle to attempt any . thing further against the Affredees without a regular hill campaign . The hill country itself would have to be occupied in order to keep , the passes open , as posts could not be maintained in the passes themselves on account . of the deficiency of water .
% On the 4 tb of May the ship Seitha , 600 tons burden , was burnt at her anchors in Bombay harbour . She was just ready to sail , and there seems to be no doubt that her destruction was the work of incendiaries . This is . the tenth vessel belonging to the port of Bombay which has thus perished within these last eight years . Cholera prevails in the interior of the Bombay Presidency , . but no further deaths from that cause have occurred among the European inhabitants and soldiers in the island of Bombay * : A suttee is reported to have taken place in the Bombay Presidency , within fifteen miles of one ^ of the Hon .

, AMERICA . . ' ; THE CUBAN EXPEDITION . ''' The Europa has brought intelligence regarding the Cuban invasion confirmatory of former accounts , though the details are somewhat contradictory !' One report states that a portion of the invaders had landed on the south side of Cuba ; and had taken possession of Cienfuegos and Trinidad . Great ex * citement had taken place at Havannah on the receipt of . this news , and a large number of troops had left for the : supposed-scene , of action . In fact ; scarcely a soldier remained in Havannah . The brig Z-jnobia lately arrived at . Savannah from Cuba , reports that ail the troops had again left for Cardenas .
On . tbe other hand it is stated that intelligence had reached the Spanish legation in Washington that no less than 1 , 500 , prisoners had been taken in two large vessels on the south coast of Cuba , most of whom were Americans , who Were allowed to return , those of other countries being tried by court-martial . Despatches had been received at Washingtonfrom the American' consul at Havannah , stating that he had demanded the 105 persons taken by a Spanish ship-of-war on the Island of Con ' to y * that being a neutral territory . The men who had been taken on that island had not engaged' in open hostilities and were engaged considering ' the propriety of abandoning the island and returning home when they were neizedupon . The Governor of Cuba , not having replied to the consul ' s demand , that functionary had
sint for additional power lo enforce it . Accordingly , despatches had been forwarded from Washington to such portions of the squadron as could be immediately collected at Havannah , to assist the consul in pressing the demand . Should the Spanish government refuse the consul is to report to Washington , when orders will be at once given to obstruct communication of all vessels with the port of Havannah . A Washington letter states that a council of the United States cabinet bad been held in that ci'y , when it was determined upon to hold the authorities of the island of Cuba rigidly accountable for their treatment of all American subjects ; and to carry out that determination a special agent was to be at once despatched with the necessary instructions to Havannah .
A correspondence is said to have passed between Mr . Clayton and the Spanish minister relative to tbe imprisonment of certain Americans at Havannah , upon unfounded suspicions of connivance with the invaders , and also with respect to the forced enlistment of Americans into the Cuban ' volunteer ' bands . The Spanish minister assured Mr . Clayton that the course which would be . pursued by the authorities at Cuba would be such as could give no cause of complaint to the Cabinet of the United States , and that no American citizen should . be imprisoned , or put to death , unless au ample proof being given of the violation of the laws of Spain , Cuba , and also of the United States . ;
A letter from Washington , dated June 3 rd , says , that official information had justre / ched of the execution of . four Americans , and the imprisonment of nearly 200 others . ' The four who had been shot had been amongst those left behind at Cardenas . TheSpanish authorities had refused the commander of the United States' squadron permission to see the prisoners , or permit them to be . sent home for trial . The United States frigate Congress had sailed for Cuba , to intercept a Spanish vessel , containing a number of Americans , taken prisoners in an island near Yucatan . The Congress was foliowrd also , by a Spanish ' man-of-war . " Captain Randolph , of the Congress , ? s determined to rescue the American prisoners at all hazards .
Despatches have been forwarded from the United States government to the Cuban authorities , that the arrest of Americans'on ! any other island , save Cuba , will not be permitted . . The Spanish minister at Washington had remonstrated against the refusal of the American ' : authorities , at Key West to deliver up the money , which ; the invaders had taken . The Spainsucorarnandcr had , demanded the surrender of the" Creole land " the . money . The reply made him was , 'We have no force *
and the invaders will not give up the money , ' -The Spanish commander then offered to put himself and his entire force under the , command of the civil authorities at Key West ) for the purpose . of taking the Creole and the money . This was declined , a promise being made that the money would ho returned by order of tbe United States government to the Cuban aulhoritirs . It is generally believed that the invaders have in their pay many members of the American press . . ' ' !
Two vessels , with reinforcements for ; General Lopez , and which were commissioned to land at different points of the island , were still at sea , their fate and destination unknown . In the . event of these vessels being captured by the Spaniards , the United States squadron had been instructed to demand them of the Spanish commander , and in the event of refusal to seize them by force . The steam-ship Southerner had arrived at New York with several of the returned < patriots . ' The British-steam-sbip Thames arrived at Mobile on the 3 rd June with late dates from Havannah . Mr . Campbell , the American consul , stated that , the Spaniards at Havannah were much embittered at the American authorities , and refused all information as to the number , names , and probable fate of the prisoners , who were very closely confined .
General Lopez addressed the citizens of Mobile on the 31 st ultimo , explaining , the causes' of the defeat of the expedition . The subordinate officers publicly vindicated the general , and spoke in . the highest terms ofhis bravery and skill . Lopez was in New Orleans on the 4 th > inst . . . ; , • . - i " The grand jury , at New York charged with investigations' relative to the connexion of persons with the Cuban invasion had reported that no evi-

Great ' activity prevailed at 'San . ; Francisco , o 8 nd prices of produce and merchandise were advancing .,. The , emigration to the mines was said to be very greatly on . the increase .
v The Indians ( Pawnees ) were still attacking the Californian ' emigrants . The latter had found a desirable ally in a great Pottowatamie chief , named Wanasah . who had in a skirmish killed a Pawnee chief on whose person were found four white and nine Indian scalps lately taken . 800 Mormons had left St . Louis for California . . Caravans of emigrants extended between 200 and 300 miles . Grass ; and water . were abundant , but small pox and cholera were reported as very prevalent . Fires had occurred at Baltimore on tbe 4 th , and Cincinnati on ttie same day . Violent slom s had been experienced in Georgia and , Florida . . A great meeting in favour of sustaining the union was held in St . Louis on tbe 4 th inst .
The Nashville Convention met at Nashville ( Te » - essee ) onthe 4 th inst ., Judge Sharkey' presiding . Nothing important has been transacted . Nashville was greatly crowded .

Count Nesselrode's Note To Lord Palmerst...
COUNT NESSELRODE'S NOTE TO LORD PALMERSTON . . The following abstract of a note addressed to Lord Palinerston by the Russian government on the question of Naples and Tuscany , has been sent from Paris ; -...,,. ' ¦•; . >¦ :, ¦ . ¦¦• . M . de Nesselrode . begins by observing . ^ that the cabinet of St . Petersburgh completely identifies itself ' with the principles which haveservedasthe'basisof the . conduct of the cabinet of Vienna . : !' 'It is too much interwoven , he says , with the maintenance and independence of statesi . of the second orderi and of the internal tranquillity of Italy , not , to identify itself without reserve in the sentiments ard political views of Austria . In virtue . of
the principles of public law , as understood in the Russian policy , it can never be admitted that a sovereign , forced , as the Grand Duke of Tuscany bas been by the obstinacy of his rebellious subjects , to retake posession of points occupied by the , ihsurgents shall be hound to-make compensation " to foreign residents who may ; have suffered certain losses or injuries' occasioned by the assault of the . city where reb llion has been , . . When people establish themselves in a foreign , country , no matter where , they are bnund to accept the chances and the casualties to which such . country may' be exposed . '' ' Leghorn revolted , ' arid it became necessary to employ force to reduce it to obedience . If certain English
proprietors have shared in the injury suffered by the proprietors , natives of the place , have they , a right to demand idemnity which the Tuscan government refuses to its own subjects ? Such are . the , motives that'have induced the Tuscan government to address itself tothe Emperor and demand his arbitration . The Emperor , notwithstanding tbe lively interest be f-. els for Tuscany , has not ^ considered ' himself bound to accede to this request . It is riot on account of a sum more or less . 'iraportarit in ^ atnounf , but on principle , that the . Emperor , cannot admit even the idea of an indemnity of any . kind claimed as a legitimate right , still less exacted . by force ,, because by doing so he would appear to give-it an implicit sanction by
granting his arbitration to bo ' . h- ' parties in the event of'Eiigland consenting to defer to ir ; As Tuscany is disposed to enter into conciliatory explanations , it could form no ; part of the intentions of the Russian government to . attempt lo offer any impediment to an arrangement . a /' ani / adfe .-witli the English government . But the Emperor has a right to expect from the justice and moderation of the English government itself that it will not employ , for tbe purpose o ( arriving at that arrangement , any means but those of an'equally conciliatory character ; and tho , imperial cabiiiet ^ thinks it its duty , in what concerns its ' el ' ' , and from the present moment , to reserve its own judgment as to , all that it regards comforraable to the recognised maxims of international law .
, 'The cabinet of London , cannot but understand that the present is a question of-. the gravest kind for the independence of the whole ofthe continental states . . In fact , if the rights sought to hi established by England at . this moment with res ' pect to Naples or toTuscany be once admitted as a precedent , the result would be an exceptional position for all British suhjecta— -a position far . superior in advantages . to that enjoyed , by the native inhabitants of other countries ; while the governments that sn received and admitted'them on their '¦ territories would be placed in ah intolerable situation . ' Jn place of beihg / as'liiiherto / a source- of benefit far the countries where they ; establish themselves , and
where they transport ' . with ' their ' establishment ' s those habits of industry , of morality , and of order , which so honourably characterise the-English people , their presence would become a perpetual source of annoyance , and in certain cases . an inevitable scourge . Their presence would become for the agitator ' s arid perturb ' atori an encouragement to revolt , because behind the , barricades ' . ' . would continually appear the menacing . . eventuality of future reclamations on , behalf , of English subjects injured in their property in consequence of acts , of repression . Every sovereign ; who , by the geographical
position'of bis territory , or from his relative weakness , would be thus ( -xposed to measures of coercion from ' an English fteet , would be struck-powerless in presence of rebellion ; he ; would never dare to adopt measures of coercion against . insurgenis , and if he adfipted . tbem he , would be obliged , to examine ( he details , of every operation , to .-estimate the necessity or . the inutility of such or such a strategic measure which may expose English subjects' to injury , and to recognise the English government as supreme judge between the sovereign and bis subjects in matters relating to civil war arid internal government ;; ¦ ' . ' , . ' .

BoiLV-n Explosion , at Mahskilles . —Tho Journal des Debate publishes , the folio wine ; communication from" Mnrseilles : — "A great disaster has just visited our town . ' At half-past three o'clock this afternoon ' a . fearful explosion was ' heard in the foundry of MM . I'ny , ' Brothers , on the road to Rouot , and at the same iu . sto . ut a \ wtion of the establishment was seen to fly into pieces . : Such was the violenc e of tho explosion , that fragments of timber and of tho roofing were projected , together with masses of cast iron , not only ns far as tho adjoining houses and ' premises , but to the Toulon road and tho Jewish Cemetcrv . The explosion was caused by tho bursting of a boiler . Several worKmcn wore unfortunately buried in , tho ruins . Accordingly , the first efforts of . those who hastened from all parts to the scene of tho calamity were directed to rescuing these unfortunate individuals ;
Several of them , as had been feared , were severely injured , but , up to tho time wo are . writing , none have perished . One iilono is considered seriously in danger . It is impossible to describe the differen t scenes of despair which occurred'in every direction , amidst tho ruins bestrewn .. with wounded persons , and from which tbe most heartrending- cries were ' issuing . ¦ The . shqck produced by the explosion was so violent that , one of . the fragments of tlto boiler weighing abbut . 300 kilogrammes , was hurled as far as Mr . 'r azor ' s ; manufactory , others , fell into the Cours .
