France. Defeat Of The Goternm«Mt. — Injh...
FRANCE . Defeat of the Goternm « mt . — Injhe As . sembly on Wednesday , the government met with a severe check . Art 31 of the Stamp Duty Bill , declaring that a fixed duty of 5 c . was to be imposed on the transfer of every lOOf . of nominal capital of rente , was adopted by a majority of 168 , the numbers being 400 to 232 . This result was arrived at , notwithstanding the united opposition of M . Berryer , M . Passy , and M . Fould , the Ministers of Finance , all of whom spoks against the article .
The 'Moniteur publishes a decree by the President of the Republic appointing a number ol magitsrates . These nominations are so numerous as to completely fill three columns of the journal . The ' Moniteur' announces that the President of the Republic Las received a letter in which the Emperor of Russia notifies the birth of a Grand Duke , son of the Grand Duke Constantine . Six of the insurgents of June transported to Belle Isle , who were transferred to Yannes , in the department of the Morbihan , to be tried for rebellion and for setting fire to the wooden houses in which they were confined , have been acquitted ba jurv . :
y " M . Labai ; a ^ barrister , and proprietor of the * Union Deaiocratiqiie de l'Ariege , ' who was prosecuted bv the Attorney General for an article reflecting on the judgment of the Hig h Court of Versailles , has been acquitted by a jury at Toulouse . The military schools established at St . Omer , Grenoble , and Toulouse for ball practice have been suppressed by the Minister of War . PARIS , Thursday . —In the Legislative Assembly to day the report of the committee on the elections for the department of the Seine was presented . The committee reported that the proceedings were
legukr , and that the three candidates at the head of the poll ( MM . Cavnot , Tidal , and de Flotte ) ouaht to be admitted . M . Denjoy then rose and said that he bad no obpetion to make to the return of MM . Carnot and Vidal ; but that , as regarded M . de Flolte , be considered that as that gentleman was transported to Belle Isle , in virtue of a decree of the constituent Assembly , be was excluded from a seat ia ihs Legislature . The reporter of the committee said , in reply , that the question had been brought under the notice of the committee , but that , as the only persons excluded by the Constitution from seats ia the Legislature were those
who had been convicted by the tribunals of the country ( and that not having been the case with M . de Flotte , ) the committee found no legal ground for his exclusion . He added , as a confirmation of the correctness of the view taken by the committee , that , in the decree recently passed by the Assembly for the transportation of the remaining prisoners at Belle Isle to Algeria , a special clause was inserted , depriving those persons of their civic rights as long as they remained in the colony , thereby showing that the the Assembly did not consider that they had been deprived of those rights by ths former decree .
The house then divided par aisis et Jeve , when a vast majority appeared ie favour of M . de Flotte , -whose election was consequently confirmed .
THE XEW GAGGING XAWS . M . Rouher , the Minister of Justice , then rose to bring forward the bill for the further limitation of the liberty of the press . This bill fixes the caution-money at 50 , G 00 f . for all daily papers published in the departments of the Seine , the Seine and Oise , the Seine and Marue , and the Rhone ; and at 12 , 000 :. for those published in the other departments . It fixes the stamp duty of all the papers published i . i the above departments at four centimes , and those in the other departments at two centimes . It forbids the hawking of all papers and addresses at the period of elections , with the exception of t = e lists of the names of the candidates . Ths rcad : n ? of the measures was frequently interrupted by the Montignards .
M . Pascal Duprat rose to oppose the urgency of the motion . He said , that the ministers affected to believe these laws necessary for the defence of the constitution . If that only was the object of the minister , -why did he not prosecute those journals who daily dragged the constitution through the dirt ? These hvsps were only presented in revenge for the elections of March 10 , The Minister of Justice said , that if he had only to take into consideration the question of urgency , be would have but one word to say . An act was known to be nscessary— -it must be carried out ; but Xd . Pascal Duprat had ascribed Motives to the government which it could not recognise . There was no idea of revenge ia the presentation of these laws . He would be attaching far too much importance to
the elections to suppose that they would give rise to a measure of any kind . No doubt these elections had shed a light on the situation . If the opinion which prvailed had been everywhere successful , if the assemblage of opinions which had obtained that triumph where to succeed , they might soon be seen tearing each othtr to pieces . How was it , he would ask , that the * teiars and the vanquished of June found themselves in the same camp ? What had become of their hatred , their threats , and their combat ? One sentiment now united all their opinions in momentary accord . They bad joined hands in order to destroy ; ca the day of triumph , if it were the misfortune of F .-ance to witness such a one , they would lead to civil war . The law , he concluded , was the result of mature deliberation and atteuiion to the state of the countrv .
M . de Larocbtjsqjielin followed . He said that he was not opposed to the law . He granted that the press had commuted excesses . ( Murmurs . ) He himself had lately been attacked and calumniated . He therefore did not oppose the sentiment which had induced the government to present this law , but it was one in character of the utmost importance , and he thought that for those reasons it should not be discussed d ' ur $ ence . He demanded mature reflection " , and therefore would vote against the urgency of the bill . The motion being put , the project of law was declared by a great majority to be taken into consideration d ' wgenee .
The Minister of Hie Interior , M . Barcc ' ae , then ascended the tribune , and presented a project of law for prolonging the existence of the old Jaw aaainst clubs for another year ; that is until the 19 th of June , 1851 . M . Darcche founded the necessity of this law upon ths recent experience obtained from the electoral meetings which had been permitted . He denounced these -r . eeiings as being clubs , in reality , where the greatest excesses were committed . ( Voices on the Ieff , 'It is false ; ' noise and clamour . ) He ( the Minister ) was convinced that the Chamber would adopt this law , which was to remove anxiety by preventing for a time meetings in which property , morals , and religion had bsen audaciously attacked . M . Baroche also demanded urgency for his motion .
M . Cremieux said that often during the course of revolutions exceptional laws bad been presented , but all knew under vhat circumstances this had been done . It was net lightly or capriciously that the liberties of citiz-ns and the rights of the press were invaded . Thus France bad had the laws of September ; but even these were nothing to the present law . The cause assigned for presenting them was this , that excesses had been committed in certaiu electoral meetings . He maintained that no excesses had been committed , aud that no document in support of such a statement had been shown .
M . Baroche , in reply , said the government only required the Assembly to decide upon the question of urgency ; that being done , all the necessary information would be given . A Voice j Why not give these documents at once ? M . Baroche : The proofs furnished already were in themselves sufiicient , he thought , and every one knew that in those pretended electoral meetings none of the representatives of moderate opinions had been able to obtain a seat without running serious risks . ( Exclamations on the Left . Cries of ' Order . ' Great tumult . )
M . Dupm here called a member of the Left to order , saying , * These interruptions are indecent , audit is easy to see , from your conduct here , what liberty you give to speech in your clubs . ' ( Loud interruptions . Cries of ' You insult us . ' ) M . Bae followed , and the Assembly , by a great majority , voted the urgency of the motion . The vote of yesterday , in favour of a stamp duty , produced an unfavourable effect on the Bourse to-day , and a considerable decline took place in the price of public securities .

France. Defeat Of The Goternm«Mt. — Injh...
1850 had been distributed to the Assembly . In M . Berryer ' s report the committee had come to the conclusion that an economy of forty millions on ordinary expenditure , and forty-four millions on extraordinary expenditure , might easily be made . These economies are not sufficient to balance the budget , and the committee hate advised as to meani of increasing receipts . Sunday . —The Assembly met in its bureaux yesterday before the public sitting for the purpose of taking into consideration the two great bills of which the urgency bad been voted . The bill on stamps and increase of caution money was the chief subject of debate ; that upon the clubs occupying much less attention
. . . , The law on the press gave rise to most important discussion , extending as much to the" principles as to the details of the bill . The majority of committee , men chosen are in favour of government , though many would have amendments made as to the amount of caution money , which they consider as likely to do serious injury to several journals , il an excessive amount were authorised . A number of members of the moderate party who have not an absolute confidence in the efficacity of the law , consider that the danger of society justify the atsxiety of government . In their opinion the law is a social not a political measure , and if restrictions are not adopted , affairs cannot prosper or security return . The election of M . de Fiotte . seems to have been a
great card of the moderates , and they mentioned it as a most dangerous symptom of aberration . The rejection of the law generally would be a defeat not only of the ministry , but of the whole government . The orators who supported the law , savs certain objections in detail , wtre , MM . C . Dupin , de Gaslonde , De Riancey , Mole , d'Havrincourt , Leon Faucher , Piscatory , Chequary , Etienne , and others . M . Thiers thinks that a government cannot prevent a journal from saying what it likes * but he thinks it possible to prevent the unlimited spread of evd ideas . He added , however , that he did not think a law could save a country , for if a government was faulty , it would be overthrown in spite of the best of laws .
The ministers present in the bureaux energeticall y supported the government bills . Tbey did not conceal their opinion that the press laws might in a certain degree damage the moderate press , but ever , that certainty would not stop them . Aggression , they said , was always more powerful than defence , and bad journals were spread nitli more facility than good . M . Fould stated that the present amount of caution money had been found insufficient to pay the fines imposed , and that 24 , 000 / . was , therefore , not enough .
Several opponents of the measure appeared in tke ranks of the Right , such as MM . Gustave de Becurnont , "Victor Lefranc , de Lerochijaqaelin , Come . Queotin Bauchard , Nettement , De Larcey , Combarel de Leyval , and others ; the orators of the Left against the bill were MM . Grevy , Duprat , E . Arago , Charras . Pierre Leroux , Lamartine , Cavaignac , and Pierre Buonaparte . Upwards of 570 members were present in the bureaux , but the 7 th bureau did not chose its committeemen , and , therefore , 535 members only took part in the vote .
Out of fourteen appointed committeemen , ten , viz ., MM . Drue Desvaux , De Chasseloup Laubat . Taschareau , Labordere , D'Havrincourt , De Crouseilhes , Mole , Leon Faucher , Lacaze andde Broglie , were chosen by the partisans of different degrees , of the government law . MM . Bechard , de Larcy , Quentia Bauchard , and Combarel de Leyval , were chosen by the adversaries of the government 1 * 111 . - The Clubs Bill was only examinedjn a few of the bureaux , and the committee on that question will only be completed to-morrow .
The Assembly yesterday annulled the elections of the departments of the Saone et Loire , on account ot grave irregularities , 6 , 000 persons having voted who were not electors . This decision unseats MM . Madier de Montieau , Esqueros , Charassin , Buvig nier , Dain ; another of Hennequin and Dariot , who are all Democrats . M . Gallot , late editor of the' Reforme , ' was tried by a jury before the Court of Assize of the Seine on Friday for having published a seditious libel . He was found guilty and sentenced to imprisonment for six months and to pay a fine of 2 , 000 f . A letter from Montargis of the 21 st inst . mentions that incendiary fires are becoming of alarming frequency in the department of the Loiret .
Monday . —The papers continue to present a Berried phalanx of uncompromising opposition to the government on the press law . Organs of all . colours lay by their jealousies and antipathies to copy into their columns the protests of their rivals and foes . The country papers send up a fresh mass of complaint , which is emptied into the prints ot the capital . The ' Democratic Pacifique' cries out for the restoration of the legitimate monarchy at once , instead of the murder of the Kepublic by inches . The ' Yoix duPenple' challenges the moderates to fulfil their late offer , and to decide the question of the Republic ' s existence by an appeal to Universal
Suffrage . Individuals come forward with energetic protests ; to day , for instance , M . Leon da Laborde puts forth such a protest in the ' Presse . ' The agonies of the intermediate newspapers are indescribable , for their extinction if the law passes is inevitable . On the other hand , it seems highly qiifistionable if the Reds will lose so much footing in the press as the constitutional liberals . A great Red organ will doubtless survive , for among the masses greater sums are levied by a centime rate , than among the opulent classes by a guinea rate . All those neutral shades between strong conservatism and socialism seem doomed to perish .
' La Presse publishes an appeal to national generosity in behalf of the primary schoolmasters dismissed ' on account of their attachment to the Republic . ' The document is signed by M . Carnot and other representatives of the Mountain , MM . Goudchaux and Flocon , the editors of the Presse , ' « Siecle , ' & c . Accounts from Cbateldon , in the department of the Puy de Dame , slates that five trees of liberty , ornamented with red ribbons , were planted there on the night of the 13 th inst . They were immediately removed by order of the authorities .
The Haro' of Caen of the 23 rd inst . states that a sergeant of the 55 th Regiment of the Line , in garrison in that town , together with two privates , having been removed from the regiment and sent to Algeria , the remainder of the corps assembled in ihe court-yard , and commenced singing the Marseillaise . TuES & AY—The Prefect of the Pyrenees Orientsles had dismissed twelve communal schoolmasters and suspended seven from the exercise of their functions . Important documents connected with the Society of the Droits de l'Homme have been seized by the police in the house of the director of the ' Censuer de Lyons . '
The editor of the ' Temps , ' who bad been condemned by default on the 25 th of February last to 6 . 000 f . fine and three years' imprisonment , was on Monday sentenced by the Assize Court of the Seine to six months' imprisonment and 5 , 000 f . fine and costs , for having published seditious articles in his journal . < Wednesday . —Yesterday , in the National Assembly , the President ( M . Dupin ) informed the house that a proposition had been handed to him of so strange and unconstitutional a kind that he was
unwilling to read it . It was decided that it should tie read . The proposition , which was signed by M . de Laroehejaquelin , was to the effect that the National Assembly should on the . 1 st of July next be called on to vote , as in the case of the President of the Republic , on the question as to whether it would d-finiiivelyhave arepublic or monarchial form of governiear . The previous question was immediately called for and adopted unanimousl y . The members of the Mountain received the announcement of the result with vociferous cries of « Vive la Republique . ' The Assembly then rose .
It is believed that the Minister of the Interior will forthwith present a bill on political domiciles ( as & rZT A * , ?? ^ ys . since ^ out Paris corres . pondence , ) which wdl give to the government the power of removing from Parj 8 one of the mos dangerousportions of the population , andsubjec the right of voting to conditions of real residence .-
GERMANY . OPENING OP THE GERMAN PABUAMENr . Ihe ' Cologne Gazette' contains the following telegraphic despatch ; Erfurt , March 20 . ~ The German parliament was opened this forenoon , in the Government House . At half-past twelve the members of the Yenvaltung 8 . rath took their seats in the Assembly Hen : \ on Radowitz opened the proceedings by a speech , in which he gave them an historical account of the events which preceded and led to the German parliament . He dwelt on the duty which the united governments had of granting a constitution . The presumption that all the governments would ccedo to the League had turned out to be un

founded . Holstein and Lanenburgh were prevented by the Danish war . Hanover and Saxony differed in their views from the united governments . The former bad declared its intention to secede from the League . An impeachment had been brought forward against Hanover as well as Saxony ,, The united governments must hot allow themselves to be deterred by obstacles . He then adverted to the bills which the government intended to . submit to the parliament—such as the charter of the constitution and the memorial , the slectionary law , and the additional act . Baron Radowitz exhorted the
house to subject these bills to a strict and patient examination , and to advance the alterations on which they might agree to the notice of the administrative council . He further asked for powers for the presidency ( Vorstand ) of the empire to enter into negotiations on the subject of the immunities which had been granted to the Hanse towns . After informing the parliament of the appointment of the other commissioners , Baron Radowitz concluded by declaring , in the name of the united governments , that the parliament was opened , whereupon the members withdrew to : constitute
their houses . M . Rodolphe d'Auersivald was elected president of the Upper Chamber ,, on the 22 nd , by sixty-two voles out of sixty-seven . M . de Watzdorf and Pr ince Solms-Hohen- Solms-Lich were elected vicepresidents . ' ¦ ' \
PRUSSIA AND WURTEMBERG . A telegraphic despatch from Berlin , dated the evening of the 23 rd , inst , announces that the Prussian Minister for Foreign Affairs had sent instruclions to M . de Sydow , the Prussian Ambassador at the Court of Wurtemberg , to leave the capital of that State , with the whole personnel of the embassy . At the same time he addressed a note to Baron Huge ! , the Wurtemberg Ambassador at the Prussian Court , notifying to him ihe total cessation oi dip lomatic relations between the two Governments . This step is in consequence of the speech of the King of Wurtemberg .
SWITZERLAND . M . James Fazy , President of the Council of State of Geneva , a few days ago ordered M . Hugo Hoci Y stetter , a political refugee from Berlin , to be expelled from the canton in twenty-four hours . M . Hochstetter has appealed to the Council of State of the canton against this order , alleging that it was an act of mere personal vengeance on the part of M . Fazy , arising out of a quarrel which had no connexion with public affairs . M . Hochstetter calls on the Council to examine into the matter ,-and expresses the opinion that it will not allow M . Fazy to
use his public power to satisfy personal animosity . The Suisse' of Berne has the following ;— ' From the information which we receive from the cantons , we find that the majority of the refugees have determined of themselves to quit Switzerland . The Poles propose to proceed to the East , in the event of their not being able to find employment in England . The Germans who were at Valangin are all going to leave this week , en route for America . AYe ' hope they will find elsewhere those resources which the Swiss Confederation , however good its will might be , can not afford them . '
ITALY . ROME , March , 14 . —Arrests continue without examinations being granted , so that a lingering imprisonment is the unvarying fate of those who fall into the midnight clutches of the sbirri . The cole nel of the 17 th Regiment of the line , upon inspecting the prisons previous to his departure from this city , was horrified to find that there were many individuals who bad already undergone eight months of close confinement without ever having been submitted to any sort of interrogatory or trial . Amongst the lately captured victims is the shepherd poet of Civita Castellana , a rustic improvisitore named Rosi , whose country garb and long hair , were familiar at
Rome during the republic ; he frequently abandoning his fleecy care at that exciting period to recite his unpolished strophes in the piazzas and csfes of the metropolis . The English clown , although now at liberty , is greatly worried by the police , who refuse to grant him permission to stay in the city for more than three days at a lime , so that every third day he is obliged to dance attendance at the office , a task he finds more irksome than dancing on the highest tightrope ever stretched in a theatre . The distress prevalent amongst the lower classes especially since the dismissal of many paupers from the works of the beneficienzalm been productive of crime to an alarming extent—the house of the druggist , Ottoni , who
bad been active in tkese wholesale dismissals , was entered the day before yesterday , in the afternoon , by one of the ejected workmen , who stabbed the druggist ' s niece as she opened the door , and proceeded to rob the premises ,. wken he was arrested by some French soldiers who were roused by the screams of his victim . The Florence diligence office was robbed on the same evening of several packs of money which were to be sent off the next morningthe thieves entered in the most audacious manner with false keys , undsr the very noses of the French
sentries , who suspected nothing wrong in the matter . In fact , the state of the city is so thoroughly dissatisfactory , that some poets of a lugubrious turn of mind have parodied Dante's third canto of the ' Inferno , ' adapting that most melancholy picture of woe to the present condition of Rome . The paio ly is remarkably close to the original , and its solemn pathos is too true to admit of that share of the ridiculous which usually accompanies such productions it is printed , and circulates freely amongst the liberals . .
The ' Giornaledi Roma' announces officially , and with some solemnity of tone , that General Baraguay d'Hilliers has published an order of the day inculcating upon his officers and men the necessity ef their adorning their breasts with the knightly and military decorations lately distributed amongst them by order of his Holiness : whether this step was rendered necessary by any reluctance On the part of the decores does not fully appear . The French tribunals will shortly have to commence the second trial of Cernuschi , who has been awaiting it in the Castle of St . Angelo ever since his first acquittal and the appeal of the fiscal officer . I understand that the court-martial would willingly find him
guilty , if possibly , upon the accusation of having endeavoured to rouse the people to molest t he French array on its entry into Rome ; in order to have a pretext for condemning him to a slight punishment ( a year's imprisonment , for example ) from which would be deducted the eight or nine months confinement he has alread y undergone , the remainder to be completed in a French prison ; so that , at the expiration of the term , Cernuschi would go free and unharmed ; whereas , if liberated here there is but little doubt he will fall directly into the clutches of the Papal gendarmes , and be again boxed up , or handed over to the King of Naples without hope of rescue .
The judicial proceedings of the French tribunals continue to be public , a circumstance which I see the * Constitutionnel' has the barefacedness to lament over in an article upon the affairs of Rome . That justice-loving journal states that no satisfactory evidence will be forthcoming ( alluding especially to the case of Cernuschi , ) until the examinations are conducted and depositions taken down in a secret mode . It is incredible that Frenchmen should be found in the nineteenth century desirous of
reviving that secret inquisitorial procedure which disgraced the Venetian republic in the middle ages . The ' Veto Amico' of Bologna , of the 14 th , states that the pontificial army is to be composed of three foreign legions , namely , one of Austrians , one of French , and one of Spaniards or Swiss . Gen . St . Amand , who is entrusted with the organisation of the papal hoops , has proceeded to Rome , to confer with the pontificial government on the subject .
NAPLES . —Public attention is now attracted at Naples by the political prosecutions which have lately been brought before the chief Criminal Court relating to the events of the 15 th of May , 1848 , and to various consp iracies or secret societies . Among the accused in the former case are the exdeputies MM . Poerio and SeUembrini , against whom the public prosecutor has demanded sentence o ! death On the 7 ih inst . the chief Criminal Court heard the case relating to certain inhabitants of
Gragnano , accused of belonging to a secret society styling itself the Republican Sect . Four of the accused were condemned to periods of from twenty to twenty-four years' hard labour in irons , four are to be kept in prison till further information , aud tke remaining four were set at liberty . On the 13 th the Court decided a preliminary question of competence in the case of Poerio , whose counsel maintained that as ex-minister and ex-deputy he had a right to be tried by the Chamber of Peers . This plea was overruled by the Court .
The Neapolitan government would appear to anticipate hostilities . Stores of ammunition are sent off from Naples by night to Capua , and troops continue to augment the forces towards the Roman frontier . Such movements are certainly dictated by Austria ! and may originate from fear of any

chang e in France , which would place the French army quite a different position , and make a sad final to the Gaeta plot . % TUSCANY . —The Tuscan government have refused the indemnity demand by Lord Palmerston for losses sustained by British subjects during the disturbances at Leghorn last year . The answer of the Tuscan government is fully as severe on the English policy in Italy as the note of Russia or . that in Greece .
LUCCA .-The ' Riforma' of Lucca , of the 9 th inst ., says that some cries of ' The French Republic for ever ! ' ' The Reds for ever ! ' & c , were beard on the preceding night in the streets of that town on receiving the intelligence of the probability of the Paris elections being carried by the Red party . Several arrests had been made in consequence of these cries .
GREECE . A telegraphic despatch , from our correspondent at Berlin , slates that on the 19 th dates from the Piraeus to the 12 th , arrived atTrieste . It was said that Greece had refused to enter into any negotiations ai to the settlement of the English claims until the English fleet had left Salamis and the Greek vessels seized by it had been returned , b was said also that new demands had been put forward by England . An energetic Russian note had been received on the 9 tb , and on the 10 th an English courier had slatted for Constantinople .
TURKEY . The ' Oesterreichische Correspondent ' slates , from Scutari , that a troop of several thousands inhabitants of Montenegro made , on the 4 th inst ., a raid on the district of Poitgorizzu , and that they retreated after a battle , or rather skirmish , which continued throughout the day , and in which two of Uw Turks ( of Portgorizzu ) were killed , and twenty wounded . The men of Montenegro took their own killed and wounded away with them , for none of their heads were brought to Scutari .
Lord Dudley Stuart And The Hun Gakian Refugees.
LORD DUDLEY STUART AND THE HUN GAKIAN REFUGEES .
The following letter has been lately addressed to Lord Dudley Stuart by Count Telcki , General Klapka , and Francis Pulszky , in tho name of the Hungarian refugees : — Mr Lord , —In the name of ourselves , and all our countrymen , who were fortunate cnoigh to escape the Austrian hullets and gallows , we venture . to express our gratefulness . Wo most warmly thanlc you , nop only for the nobis genoresity with which you , my lord , advocated the cause of our unhappy country , but likewise for the kindness with which you eared fur the most urgent » ecessities of those of our countrymen , who coold save nothing hut their bare lives . Ours is not the first instance in which you proved the champion of liberty , justics , and humanity . Krer alire to the rights of the oppressedj you freel y support ed them , never yielding to the sophistry of absolutism , which so r « adily assumes a plausible pretext for overthmving ancient rigkts , treaties , and constitutions , for crushing individual liberty and destroying municipal self government . You , iny lord , recognised at an early period that Austria , once deemed necessary for the b » lance of power in Europe , could no more be considered so , when it submits
to become not only in policy and feeling , but also in material obligations , the vassal of Russia . Wo trust that the truths jour generous mind freely expressed , cannot fail to ho accepted by « very friend of freedom , progress , and civilisation ; and that those principles soon will become the basil ofapoluy of justice and sincerity , ou which alone lasting peace can be insured . With such views we contemplate the futuve . For the present several of our countrymen have determined t » seek in America the livelihood denied to them on this side of the Atlantic . Others amongst us hope to gain ia England , France , Germany , and Belgium , the means ofexisteuco . Iu spite of tWc difficiiUies to fiai employment ia countries excelling iu every kind of abilities , yet with earnest purpose on your part , and the benefit of your kind support , we look with confidence on the days to come . The steadiness of the English character warrants that th * sympathy awakened by the struggle of Hungary will uot be carried away by the tide of events , and will eror kindly remember not only those of us blessed with English hospitality , and those who kave found shelter in France , Germany , and BeJgiuan , but no le « s those who , regardless ol'justice and pledges , are detained In Asia .
We beg , with sincere gratitude , to be allowed to sub scribe ourselves , your lordship ' s most sincerely , Count L . Teleii , G . IClapka , March 20 , 1859 . Francis P « lszki .
Emigration. — Emigration, Says Tho Limer...
Emigration . — Emigration , says tho Limerick Chronicle , is again amazingly on the increase , not , however , so much to Canada as to the United States ; and the train from this to Dublin is daily crowded witli intending emigrants , mostl y all agricultural , and who embark for their destination at Liverpool . The banks in Limerick are hourly paying out money upon the orders remitted by the friends of those people in America , who emigrated tho last and preceding years . There are nine vessels at the quays taking passengers—three for New York and six for Quebec .
The Convict Ann Meiibitt . —On Monday night a meeting was held in Pembury Chapel , Hackney , to take steps for procuring a commutation of tho sentence " passed upon this unhappy woman , at the last Old Bailey Sessions , by tho Lord Chief Baron Pollock . Rev . H . Robinson ( chairman ) , Messrs . Itadlcy , Goldswell , and others , addressed the meeting in favour of the abolition of capital punishment , and . a . memorial was adopted , praying that tho respito ' of execution of Ann Merritt may be followed by an entire reprieve ; and also that such stops should be taken as may lead to the entire abolition of the punishment of death . Tuat man alonk is truly independent who relies upon his own exertions , to the exclusion of foreign aid .
