Dmem oi the Gov ernmsht . - fr the Assembly 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 nomiwrt capital of rente , was adopted by a majority of 163 , the numbers being 400 to 232 . This result was arrived at , notwithstanding the united opposition of M . Berrjer , M . Pass ? , and M . Fould , the Ministers of finance , all of whom spoka against the xrtkle . The 'Moniteur ' publishes a decree by the President of the Republic appointing s number , o ' magitsrates . These nominations are so numerans as to completely fill three columns of the journal . The Monitenr announces that the President
of the Republic has received a letter in which the Emperor , of Russia notifies , the birth of & Grand Duke , son of the Grand Duke Constantino Six of the insurgents of June transported to Belle Isle , who were transferred to Vannes , m the department of the Morbihanteto be tried for rebellion and for setting fireitopfie wooden houses in which they were confined . f&ve been acquitted y 3 I 1 £ bat a barrister , and proprietor of the ' Union Democratique del'Ariege , ' who wa 3 prosecuted by the Attorney General for an article reflecting on the judgment of the High 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 hv 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 Kgular , and that the three candidates at the head of the poll ( MM . Carnot , Yidal , and de Flotte ) ostfit to be admitted . M . Denjoy then rose and said that he bad no objection to make to the return of MM . Carnot and "Vidal : but that , as regarded M . de Flotte , he considered that as that gentleman was transported to Belle Isle , in virtue of a decree of the constituent Assembly , he was excluded from a seat in the Legislature . The reporter
of the committee said , in reply , that the question Bad been brought under the notice of the committee , but that , as the only persons excluded by the Constitution from seats in the Legislature were those uho had been convicted by the tribunals of the couHtrv ( 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 snowing that the the Assembly did not consider that they had been deprived of those rights by the former decree .
The house then divided par tmisetleve , when a vast majority appeared in favour of Hi . de Flotte , -whose election was consequently confirmed .
THE KEW GAGGING LAWS . M . Ronher , the Minister of Justice , then rsse to bring forward the bill for the further limitation of the liberty of the press . This bill fixes the caution-money at oO . OOOr . for all daily papers published in the departments of the Seine , the Seine and Oise , the Seine and Marne , and the Rhone ; andatl 2 , 000 f . for those published in the other departments . It fixes the stamp duty of all the papers published in 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 the lists of the names of the candidates . The readins of the measures was frequently interrupted by tbe Montagnards .
M . Pascal Duprat rose to oppose the urgency of tbe 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 laws were only presented in revenge ior the elections of March 10 . Tbe Minister of Justice said , that if he tad only to take into consideration the qnestion of urgency , he would haie but one word to say . An act was Known to be necessary—it must be carried out ; but M . Pascal Duprat had ascribed motives to the government which it could not recognise . There was no idea of revenge in 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 Lad 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 other to pieces . How was it , he would ask , that the victors and the vanquished of June found themselves In tbe same camp ? What had become of their hatred , their threats , and their com * oat ? One sentiment now united all their opinions in momentary accord . They had joined hands in order to destroy ; on the day of triumph , if it were the misfortune of France to witness such a one , they would lead to civil war . The lawhe concluded , was the resslt of mature deliberation attention iw
to the state of the country . M . de Larochejaquelin followed . He said that he was not opposed to the law . He granted that the press had committed excesses . ( Murmurs . ) He himself had lately been attacked and calumniated . He therefore did not oppose the sentiment which tad 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 ' urgence . He demanded mature reflection , and therefore would vote against the urgeney of the MIL The motion being put , the project of law was declared by a great majority to be taken into consideration d ' urgence ..
The Minister of the Interior , M . Baroc&e , then ascended the tribune , and presented a project of law for prolonging the existence of the old law against clubs for another year ; that is until the 19 th of Jnne , 1851 . M . Baroche founded the necessity of this law upon the recent experience obtained from the electoral meetings which bad been permitted . He denounced these meetings as being clubs , in reality , where the greatest excesses were committed . ( Voices on the left , '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 bad been audaciously attacked . M . Baroche also demanded urgency for his motion .
M . Cremieux said that often during the course of revolutions exceptional laws had been presented , but all knew under what circumstances this had been done . It was not lightly or capriciously that the liberties of citizens and the rights of the press were invaded . Thus France had had the laws of September ; hut even these were nothing to the present law . The cause assigned for presenting them was this , that excesses had been committed in certain electoral meetings . He maintained that eo excesses had been committed , and that no document in support ot such a statement had been shown .
M . Baroche , in reply , said the government only required the Assembly te decide upon tbe question of urgency ; that being done , all the necessary information wonld be given . A Voice : Why not give these documents at once ? M . Baroche : The proofs furnished already were in themselves sufficient , 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 . Dupin here called a member of the Left to order , saying , ' These interruptions are indecent , and it 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 . Bac followed , and the Assembly , by a great majority , voted the urgency of the motion . Thevote of yesterday , in favour of a stamp duty , produced an unfavourable effect on tbe Bourse to-day , and a considerable decline took place in the price of public securities . Saturday . —The proceedings in the Legislative Asiembly yesterday were exceedingly calm ; the re « naming articles of the Stamp Duty Bill were adopted , and the measure was declared to be read a second time . The general discussion on the budget of expenses for 1850 was then commenced , M . Pelletier , a member of the left , speaking against the financial system at present acted on . The discussion was adjourned to this day . PreTious to its opening , M , Gown ' s report « a the budget tf rcceijtifcr

1850 had been distributed to the Assembly . In M . Berryer ' s report the committee had co » e 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 arc not sufficient to balance the budget , and the committee have advised * s to meant of increasing receipts . SuKDAT . —The Assembly met in its bureaux yes . terday before the public sitting for th ? purpose of taking into consideration the two great b'llsP ^ ich theuFgency bad been toted . IWbJUii <** "t * and increaae-of caution money was the chief subject of ' debate ; tbat upon the clubs occupying much Jess attention '
. . __ . » . _ . The law on the press gave rise to most important discussion , extending as much to the pr . oc . ples as to the details of the bill . The majority of committeemen chosen « ein 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 , it an excessive amount were authorised . A number of members of tbe moderate party who have not an absolute confiden ce in the efficacity of the law , consider that the danger of society justify the anxiety of government . In their opinion the law is a social , not a political measure , and if restrictions are not adopted , affairs eannot prosper or security return . The election of If . < de F'otte , 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 , Eiienne , and others . M . Thiers thinks that a government cannot prevent a journal from saying what it likes ; hut he thinks it possible to prevent the unlimited spread of evil ideas . He added ; however , that he did not think a law eould save a country , for if a government was faulty , it would be overthrown in spite of the brat of laws .
The ministers present in the bureaux energetically supported the government bills . They did not conceal their opinion that the press laws might in a certain degree damage the moderate press , but even that certainty would not stop them . Aggression , they said , was always ¦ more . powerful than defence , and bad journals were spread with 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 f . was , therefore , not enough .
Several opponents of the measure appeared in the ranks of the Right , such as MM . Gustave de Beoumont , Victor Lefranc , de Lerochfjaqaelin , Cornet 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 comraitteemen , ten , viz ., MM . Drue Desvaux , De Chasseloup Laubat . Tascharpau , Labordere , D'Havrincourt , De Crouseilhes , Mole , Leon Faucher , Lacaze , and de Broglie , were chosen by the partisans of different degrees , of the government law . MM . Bechard , de Larcy , Quentin Bauchard , and Combarel de Leyval , were chosen by the adversaries of the government bill . The Clubs Bill was only examinedjin a few of the bureaux , and the committee on that question will only be completed tomorrow .
The Assembly yesterday annulled the elections of the departments of the Saone et Loire , on account of grave irregularities , 6 , 000 persons having voted who were not electors . This decision unseats MM . Madier de Montieau , Esqneros , Charassin , Buvignier , Dain ; another of Hennequin and Dariot , who are all Democrats . M . Gallot , late editor of the' Reforme , ' was tried by a jary before the Court of Assize of tbe 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 stinst . mentions that incendiary fires are becoming of alarrung 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 of the capital . The ' Democratic Pacifique' cries out for the restoration of the legitimate monarchy at once , instead of the murder of the Republic by inches . The * Voix duPeuple' 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 dar , for instance , M . Leon de 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 tbe other band , it seems highly questionable 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 . Goudcbaux and Flocon , the editors of the ' Presse / Siecle , '&c . i Accounts from Cbateldon , in the department of the Pay de Dame , states thai 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 ofCaen 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 beea removed from the regiment and sent to Algeria ) the remainder of the corps assembled in the court-yard , and commenced singing the Marseillaise . Tuesday—The Prefect of the Pyrenees Orientales had dismissed twelve communal schoolmasters , and suspended seven from the exercise of their functions . Important documents connected with the Society of tbe Droits de l'Horame have been seized by the pslice in the house of the director of the ' Censuer de Lyons . '
The editor of the'Temps , ' who had 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 month * ' imprisonment and 5 , 000 f . fine and costs , for having published seditious articles in his journal . ' Wednesday . —Yesterday , in the National Asr sembly , 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 be read . The proposition , which was signed by M . de Larochejaquelin , 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 definitively have a republic or raonarchial form of governi eit . The previous question was immediately called for and adopted unanimously . The members of the Mountain received the announcement of the
result with vociferous cries of ? Vive la Repubhque . ' The Assembly then rose . . It is believed that the Minister of the Interior will forthwith present a bill on political domiciles ( as announced a few days since in our Paris corres . pondeuce , ) which will give to the government the power of removing from Paris one of the most dangerous portions of the population , and subject the right of voting to conditions of real residence . — Times .

founded . iHolstein and Lauenburgh were prevented by the Danish war . Hanover and Saxony differed in their views from the united governments . The former tad declared its intention to secede ( from the League . An "' : impeachment had been broug ht forward against i Hanoveras well as Saxony . The united governments must not 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 { VorstandJ of the empire to enter into negotiations on the subject of the immunities which ihad 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'Auerswald was elected president of the Upper Chamber , on ; the 22 nd , by sixty-two vote * out of sixty-seven . M . de Watzdorf ¦ and Prince Solmi-Hohen- Solms-Lich were elected vicepresidents , i
. : 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 instructions 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 be addressed a note to Baron Huge ) , the Wurtemberg : Ambassador at the Prussian Court , notifying to him the total cessation of diplomatic relations between the two Governments . This step is in consequence of the speech of the King of Wurtcmberg .
SWITZERLAND . y M . James Fazy , President of the Council of State of Geneva , a few days ago ordered M ? Hugo Hochstetter , 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 . Mi , 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 net being able to find employment in England . The Germans who were at Valangin are all going to leave this week , en route for America . We 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 th « midnight dutches of the shirri . The colonel of the 17 th Regiment of the line , upon inspecting the prisons previous to his departure from ' this city , « vas horrified to find ( hat there were ' many individuals who had , already undergone eight months of close confinement without ever having been submitted to any sort of interrogatory or trial . Amengst the lately captured victims is the shepherd poet of Civita Castellana . a rustic improvisitore named Rosi , whose country garb arid long hair were familiar at
R'jme during the republic ; he frequently abandoning his fleecy care at that exciting period to recite his unpolished strophes in the piazzas and cafes of the metropolis . The Engliah clown , although now at liberty , is greatly worried by the police , who refuse to grant him permission to stay in tbe city for more than three days at a time , 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 ti g htrope ever stretched in a theatre , Tbe distress prevalent amongst the lower classes especially since the dismissal of many paupers from the works of ihe
beneficienzates been productive of crime to an alarming extent—the house of the druggist , Ottoni , who had been active in these 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 , when 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 , under the very noses of the French sentries , who suspected nothing wrong in the ma'ter . 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 . Thepaioly is remarkably close to the original , and ils 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 ' Giornale di 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 © f 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 , upun the accusation of having endeavoured to rouse the people to molest the 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 already 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 circums ' ance which I see the ' Constitutionnel' has tbe barefacedness to lament over in an article upon the affairs of Rome . That justice-loving journal states thai no satisfactory evidence will be forthcoming ( alluding especially to the case of Cernuschi , ) until the examinations aie 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 Uth , states that the pontificial army is to be composed : !!! three foreign legions , namely , one of Austrians , one of French , and one of Spaniards' or Swiss . Gen . St ; Amahd , who is entrusted with the organisation of the papal troops , has . proceeded to Rome , to confer with the pontificial gbvemment 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 l 5 th of , May , 1848 , and to various conspiracies or secret societies . Among the accused in the former case are the exdeputies MM . Poerio and Settembrini , against nhom the public prosecutor has demanded sentence ; o death . On the 7 th inst . the chief Criminal Court heard the case relating to . certain inhabitants of
Gragriano , accused of belonging to a secret society styling itself the Republicaii Sect . Four of the accused were condemned to periods of from twenty , to twenty-four years ! , bard . labour in irons , four are to be kept ' in . prison tillfurther ! information , and tli « 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 is ev-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 iof ammunition are sent off from Naples ; by night to Capua , and troops continue to augment' the forces towards the Roman frontien Such movements are certainly dictated by Austria , and may originate from ( ear of any

LORD DUDLEY STUART AND THE HUxVGAUIAN REFUGEES . The following letter has been lately addressed to Lord Dudley Stuart by Count Teleki , General Klapka , and Francis Pulszky , in the name of the Hungarian refugees : — ¦ . ; My Lord , —In the name of ourselves , and all our cotmtrymen , who were fortunate enough to escape the Austrian bullets and gallows , we venture to express our grateful , ness . We most warmly thank you , not only for the noble genoresity with which you , my lord ; advocated the cause of our unhappy country , but likewise for the kindness with which you cared for the most urgent necessities of thoi « of our country » en , who coald save nothing but their bare lives Ours is not the first instance in which you proved the champion of liberty , justice , andi humanity . Erer aim : to the rig hts of the oppressed , you freely . supported them , never y ielding to the sophistry of absolutism , which so readily assumes a plausible pretext for overthrowing ancient rights , treaties , and constitutions , for crushing individual liberty and destroying municipal bdf government . You , my lord , recognised at an early period that Austria , once deemed necessary for the balance of power in Europe , could no more he considered so , when it submits to become not only in policy and feeling , but also in
material obligations , the vassal of Kussia . We trust that the truths your generous mind freely expressed , cannot fail to be accepted by erery friend of freedom , progress , and civilisation ; and that those principles soon -will become the basii of a policy of justice and sincerity , oh which alone lasting peace can be insured . With such views we contemplate the future . 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 fcope to gain in England , France , Germany , and Belgium , the means of existence . In spite of the difficulties to find employment in countries excelling in 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 ateadinesi of the English character warrants that the ¦ sympathy awakened by the'struggle of Hungary will not be carried away by the tide of events , and will ever ldndjy remember not only those . of us blessed with . English hospitality , and those who have found shelter in France , Germany , and Belgium , but no less those who , regardless of justice and pledges , are detained in Asia . We beg , with sincere gratitude , to be allowed to subscribe ourselves , your lordship ' smost sincerely , Coum L . Teleki , & . KtArKA , March 20 , 1850 . 1 '" bancis Pdlszky .

Emigration . — Emigration , says the Limerick Chronicle , is again amazingly on tho increase , not , however , so much to Canada as to the United States ; and the train from thia to Dublin is daily crowded with intending emigrants , mostly 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 the last and preceding years . There are nine vessels at the qua ) 's taking passengers—three for New York and six for Quebec .
The Convict Ann Mkmutt . —On Monday night a meeting was held in Pembury Chapel , Hackney , to take steps " for procuring a commutation ¦• of the sentence " passed upon this unhappy woman , at the last Old Bailey Sessions , by the Lord Chief Baron Pollock . Itev . H . Itobinson ( chairman ) , Messrs . Itadley , Goldswell , and others , addressed the meeting in favour of the abolition of capital punishment , and a memorial was adopted , praying that the respite of execution of Ann Merritt may he 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 . . That man alone is truly independent who relies upon his own exertions , to the exclusion , of foreign aid .
