FRANCE . A Mter from Angouleme states that the Abbe , Gothland , on being taken to the prison of that town recovered from the profound discouragement into which hi s condemnation had thrown him , and on every t >» v Bince he has smoked his pipe nea rly the whole of the day . When arrested , his pecuniary resources were very small , and they appear to have been entirely exhausted by his outlay for tobacco . The day after his condemnation he wrote the followir . g letter to M . Beyselance , resp onsible editor of the' Re-iublican de la * Charente , ' who is confined for some offence of the press : — ' Sir , —I am ahgolntely without tobacco . Tou know that it h a cruel privation—almost a torture—for a smoker . Would you have the kindness to send me enough to forwarded
fill my » ipe . ' The journalis t immed . ately Mm a pound of tobacco . Minute precautions have been lak-n to prevent the culprit from committing auici < i ¥ . He converses freely with the turnkeys . After hh condemnation he described to them with grea t calm his impressions , his hopes , during the list « iay of the trial , and his surprise and despair on bearing himself condemned . Surprise having been exp rcssrd at the disappearance of the letters he had received from Madame Ailier , he stated that he bad torn them up to light his pipe . Jeane Bearne , the Servian of Mme . du Sablon , who , it will be remembered , was arrested in the course o ! the trial for having given false evidence , is kept in secret confinement , and was frequently interrogated by a mag ' siiate . She has , it is said , made important re-Telaiioss .
Four ' . een members of the Revolutionary Society , the . Neraesis , were found guilty by the Assize Court , in Paris on Thursday , and sentenced to various periods of imprisonment—ircm six months to two years , and to fines varying from 100 francs to 500 francs . The * Voix du Present * has published a manifesto from the exiles in London . It is signed by MM . I , edru Rollin , Albert Darasz , Joseph Mazzini , and Arnold Kugne , and is addressed to the Italian , Polish , German , Austrian , and Dutch committees .
' The ' Moniteur' announces that M . de Roboissiere , formerly aide-de-camp and chamberlain of the £ n >; ierorv has been appointed grand officer of the legion of Honaur ; that M . Hippolite de Barral , 'first page of the Emperor , ' has been appointed commander ; and that M . Octave de Barral , ' page of the Emperor , ' and who signalised himself in 1815 by numerous acts of devotion and patriotism , has been appointed officer of the same order . Gold has fallen nearly two per cent , on its standard value , but the belief is ihai there will be & still further depreciation iu consequence of the steps taken iu Holland and o'htr countries to demonetise the gold currency .
Last Sunday being the tenth anniversary of the entry of the remains of Napoleon into Paris , the day was commemorated by a religious service in the Church of the Invalides . A great number of veterans of ihe Grand Army were present , in the uniform of the period of the Empire . M . Malardier , a Montagnard representative , who has been imprisoned for some time past on a charge of conspiracy , has been set at liberty . M . Victor Hugo has just undergone an operation of the throat for the removal of an enlarged tonsil , which has so long prevented him from taking pare in the debates of the Assembly .
It is sa \ d that considerable hesitation exists in the minds of the Ministry as to bringing forward the new dotation for the President , as it is expected to meet , not only with the opposition of the Left , but also with the opposition of the Legitimists . It wonld appear that the number of electors has been reduced by the new law from 9 , 618 , 000 to 6 , 711 , 000 , The reduction principally affects the townt . M . Ch . Lesseps , editor of the ' Vote Universe ! , ' who has been arrested on the charge of being concerned in the Lyons plot , has been lodged in the gaol of Roanne , in that ciiy , and has beea interrogated by an examining magistrate .
The public know nothing as yet of the long spoken of conspiracy at Lyons , but the Ministerial papers say that the prosecution of the parties arrested is going on with great activity , and that every day throws new li ght on the plans of the conspirators . They state that the northern and western departments do not appear to have been the scene of the operations of the conspiritors . Their attempts were concentrated in the departments of the south and east . The refugees at Geneva are said to have been the originators of the plot , and their intention was on a certain day to pass the frontier , and to establish themselves at Lyons , which was to be the head-quarters of the insurgents . The combinations arranged were of such a nature that Lyons and the neighbouring country was to be
taken possession of , and the troops' at present stationed there to be isolated or forced to retire . The population of the smaller towns and villages were to be armed , with the view of drawing off the attention of the troops from the great centre of the movement . It appears that there is to be a high court of justice appointed for the purpose of going into this ease . The parlies accused are to be tried bs / ore the councils now at Lyons . It is expected that the prisoners from the departments not under military law will object to the jurisdiction of ihe courts-martial ) and if the courts-martial themselves should declare themselves incompetent , a bigh court of justice will be created . Such is the account given of the plot by the government agents ; but it must be remembered that many doubt the existence of the plot at all ..
The Government crusade against the Republican newspapers is carried on with remarkable vigour , There are no less than four processes in different quarters of the country recerded in the Paris papers of the 14 th inst . and the police is busily preparing more food for the lawyers . The ' Moniteur ' announces that the 'Vote Universal' was seized yesterday , for ths publication of an article called ' La Loi de riJsure , ' and of a femlleton called ' Les
Contrats Snciaux an XfX Siecle . Les Petits Enfans . ' The responsible editor is to be prosecuted under the double charge of attacks on property and of exciting hatred between ihe different classes of citizens . The editor of the'Vote Universel ' says , that after reading the articles impugned several times over , he is still unable to discover what offence he has committed . But what does that signify ? His jonrnal is Republican , and will therefore be condemned .
PBUSSJA . The ' Times' correspondent sajs : —A letter of the Minister of Justice directs the * Staatsanwalten , or public prosecutors , iu every district to sharpen their observation of the abnses of the press . They are not to leave the machinery of the law to be set in motion against offending journals exclusively by the rude hands of the police ; they are not to wait till the police give notice of a violent or seditious
Biatter , but to read for themselves and act accordingly : neither are they to be deteired from commencing prosecutions from an apprehension the case may fail . They are to risk the chances of an acquittal . The purpose seems to be thoroughly to test the working of the jury system in such cases . If it uniformly , or too invariably , fail to ensure punishment to those who attack the government , this class of offences may be withdrawn from the cognisance of juries altogether .
The following is the memorial which was laid before the College of princes at its last meeting , together with the articles of the Olmutz agreement , of which it is the official explanation : — After adverting at some length to the position of affairs previous to the Olmutz Convention , it goes on to say : — ' The position of affairs is now as follows ;—' 1 . In general the claim of the BunteBtag solely to decide German questions is practically given up , the right conceded to the collective German
Governments , and the preliminaries for such decision made by the establishment of a commission in which the two Powers possess an equality of rights . In this commission Prussia and its allies stand as a collectivity , with a recognised equality Of rights , against the collectivity of the other governments , whica until now bad claimed the right of deciding alone . This decision will now be given neither by one nor b y the otber , but by all together . Prossia has not demanded more ; to demand more it had no right .
* If the commission , as may he expected , be composed of men as able and influential as prudent , it will be the fortunate medium of the protection of the rights of all . 'If the allies of Prussia adhere faithfully to it , their co-operation in all important questions will be assured to them . The alliance of Prussia with them is not given up , the abandonment of it has not been required by Austria . The existence of the alliance for common negotiations is rather praeticallv reco gnised by the Olmntz Articles .

and legal decision of the whole dispute will no longer lie in the hands of the Bundestag , but will be referred to the iflonimiBsion of the collective Gennra ^ Governments , as the only ; and highest lawful authority ; of the Confederation . 13 . In'Holstein it will not be a commissary of the Bundestag who will give the law to the land , but Prussian and Austrian commissaries will require the Stathalierscbaft to observe conditions calculated to assure the territory of the Bund against every attack , and which are based on the fundamental
laws of the Bund and the treaty of peace of the 2 nd July . It is not to be justified by the law of nations that , while the Confederation has declared peace with -Denmark , a Government established by the Confederation should make . war beyond the frontiers of its territory . On this principle the demands made from the Stathalterschaft are based . The reduction of the army : is for the interest of the country and is without danger as the Stathalterschaft has often declared if Denmark reduced its army also , of which there is every prospect .
« If the StathaUeracbaft refuse to accept these moderate demands , then , instead " of an intervention on the part of Austria alone , or of the Bundestag , measures will be taken by Austria and Prussia in common , on which the commission described in paragraph two will have to agree . In this there can be no danger either for Prussia or Holstein . The further decision of the dispute will also no longer be undertaken by the Government represented in Frankfort , but will proceed from the collective German Governments . Prussia and Austria will together protect the rights of the Confederation as well as those of Holstein ; and the commission to be established will immediately commence the preliminaries and negotiations at a commission of the collective German Governments .
< The Duchies , as' well as foreign powers , may rely with full confidence on this common action of Prussia and Austria not invading any real and actual right . In its defence of the rights of the Duchies Prussia will no more stand alone in relation to foreign powers , and a means has been found of reviving again the long-renounced'action of the Confederation without the sacrifice by Prussia of anything of its position . 'This is in general the basis on which the Olmutz Articles rest ! On this basis the Prussian
Government believes it may preserve the peace , and that it has found . in . it the points whicb , if treated honourably and with goodwill on both sides , may make possible a heatthy developement of the affairs of Germany . For the latter purpose the Free Conference will be heloy which will meet in a short time , and according to the wish of Prussia , in Dresden . 'A wish has been expressed in many quarters , that before the Conference assembles , the basis should be fixed on which the discussion of the reunion of the German Constitution will take
place-That this has not been fixed by the Olmutz Articles will be by many described as a fault , A calm consideration of the circumstances will show how unfounded such a reproof would be . The interview at Olmutz , by the pressure of the moment limited to a few hours , could not , according to the nature of things , establish the fundamental outlines of a Constitution on the draught of which Germany haa toiled two years in vain V it could only be directed to the treatment of the question that was momentarily threatening a conflict , and the decision— -shall there be war or peace ?'
AUSTRIA . In consequence of engagements entered into with the Prussian , government , the . Austrian army is to be reduced ! Nevertheless the landwehr and the fourth battalions are to be placed on their former footing . The Emperor has disbanded the 4 th battalion , the militia and frontier battalions , by general order , and has also permitted Field Marshal Radetsky to return to Lombardy , from which place he had a short time since commanded him to return .
GERMANY . The three editors of the ' New German Gazette , ' Dr . Luning , Dr . Wedemeyer , and Guuther have been ordered to leave Frankfort-on-the-Main within twenty-four hours . . The society , or slut in Leipzig , known by the name of' Robert Blum , ' instituted to commemorate and carry out the principles of that victim , has been dissolved by the police , and the emblems , funds , &c ., seized . The latter , of no great amount , is , according to the new law , to be distributed among the poor . The number of members does not appear to have exceeded thirty .
It is stated that the States forming the late Prussian League will by no means accept the offensive and defensive alliance by which Prussia proposed to supplant the League , hut that the majority , of them have already given an almost scornful' reply to the Prussian message respecting the non-execution of the constitution of the League . The Bavarian troops have refused to quit the city of Frankfort-It is said that Manteuffel's plan is to divide Germany into two great political bodies , to be presided over by Austria and Prussia , with a joint organ at Frankfort ;
HESSE CASSEL . The retreat of the Prussian army from Hesse has commenced . The . 19 th and 31 st Regiments of Infantry and a cuirassier regiment have already passed through this Eisenach . The Electors Official Gazette' states that that Prince will not return to Cassel . Fulda will henceforth be the seat of government . The cholera has again appearedfat Fulda ; it has also broken out among the Prussian troops at Vacha .
Great complaints are heard , from all sides , of the hardships to which the country people are exposed by this long continued cantonment of the troops . The daily expense is very considerable , many are obliged to sell their winter stores to support themselves and the men billited upon them . The frost has already set in , and the spring is looked forward to by all with very downcast forebodings .
DENMARK . Respecting the late rumours of a matrimonial alliance which the King of Denmark has been said to contemplate , we find it stated in the ' Borsenballe * that the Princess that is mentioned in connexion with this project is the sister of the Prince of Hesse ( heir apparent to the Danish throne , and , by reason of a former alliance , son-in-law to the Emperor of Russia . )
RUSSIA . The Emperor of Russia has issued an ukase , abolishing the Customs' line between Poland and Russia , at the same time instituting a new tariff . It is to come into operation on the 1 st ( 13 th ) of January , 1851 . :
SARDINIA . The' Croce di Savoia ' of Turin quotes a letter from Palermo , of the 26 th ult ., stating that three carts full of wounded soldiers arrived at Palermo on that day , from the Valley of Girgenti , where the insurgents are said to hold out against the government troops . We have received no intelligence from other quarters to confirm this account . A letter from Turin of the 11 th inst . says that a bill was to be presented that day to the Chambers for the erection of a monument to the memory of the late King Charles Albert . The President of tht French Republic has sent the Cross of the Legion of Honour to M . Cavour , the Sardinian Minister .
The Court of Appeal of Turin have acquitted MM . Biancbi Giovini and Rorobaldo , both editors of the ' Opinione , ' who had been condemned by the lower tribunals to a fortnight ' s imprisonment and a fine ef ' 300 francs , for an article on the Roman question which had been considered insulting to tbe Pope . A letter from Genoa , published in the ' Risorgimento ' of the J 3 th inst ., states that on the anniversary of the expulsion of the Austrians from Genoa , the Republican party attempted to excite a revolutionary movement . A fed flag having been fixed in the public place , during the night many of the party assembled around it . when a party of gendarmes arrived , and prevented further assemblage , and ths agitation gradually subsided .
ROME . The correspondent of the' Daily News' says ; he is assured , by information on which he can rely , that the position of the Pope towards England will henceforward assume an extremely conciliatory aspect . Every effort will be used to assure * the people of Great Britain that Popery in England has no other than spiritual aims . The late seceders from Protestantism and the Roman Catholic clergy generally will be inspired by these views . The history , of Romanism tells us this is no new policy . When the church is humble it is only from neces-*> ity ; when , she is liberal it is only to become despotic . 1 cannot help reminding the people of England that they have no power of judging of ™> W fc (» a what they see at home ; the true Wnflcacj of the church is only to md in hMwy « M Wait u bow going ob on \ ht continent .

It is said that the French garrison in 5 Rome ; will be limited to a battalion in Castle St iAngelo ] and two battalions , at Civjta Veccbia , and tbjat aU the other military posts this side the Appenines are to be occup ied bythe Neapolitan troops , as the pope ' can : no t make up an army of Roman , soldiers '; nothing will induce the Romans to submit to the manner in which the Papal government has treated its troop ? .
A letter from Rome in the same paper states that the agent of the house 6 f Rothschild' had had an interview with Cardinal Antonelli to solicit concessions in favour of the Jews . The Cardinal answered that the PontificiargiiVerhment being esshtiallf ecclesiastical could not do as other governments had done . He addedj however , that when the reforms in the laws relating to courts pf justice were pub * lished , the condition of the Jews in the Roman States would be ameliorated .
Letters from Rome of the 10 th inst state that further reductions are making in the French army of occupation . The 1 st battalion of Light Infantry has lef t Rome dhitswayto France . ' The . number of French troops in the capital is how barely sufficient to garrison the place . Numerous bands of robbers have established themselves between Rome and Florence , where they have victimised several travellers . It is also stated that the Austrian'troops were to resume all the positions they had formerly occupied at Perugia , and other places of Umbria and of the Marches , On the 3 rd inVt . the persons accused of having burnt several confessionals in the latter days of the Roman revolution have been sen * tenced to fifteen years' hard labour . Ciceruacchio , who has absconded , is one of the . condemned . The affair of the burning of several cardinals' carriages is not yet concluded . , : "'
' NAPLES . A few days since , in Naples , the political prisoners created a disturbance between the walls , by shouting , 'Long live the Constitutional King ' . "Viva Liberty ! ' Many were flogged . Incendiary papers have lately been posted up , denouncing the government and the Jesuits ; The under current' of discontent is universal " : ¦ ' S" > r : SICILY ; ¦ .. : ¦¦;; & > &' ¦ ¦ ' !/ Letters from Messina have been received ^ . detailing the labours of ibe mixed commission ; which for more than two months has . been employed in in * vestigating the claims of British , French , and Germans who suffered losses during the late war in Sicily . The doubtful cases and deductions on British claims amount to some twenty per cent , on the sum claimed . The French claims are reduced
nearly seventy . five per cent ., whilst the erman demands bare fallen about'fbrty per cen t ^ The ' Evenement , ' . a French paper , of the 17 th inst . says that it has ' received accounts from Sicily which confirm the news of the disturbances said te have broken out in that island . At the departure of the courier a band of 600 men was assembled on the mountains of Suacca . " Smaller bands were seen every day in the heighbourboodof Barleona and St .
Gueseppo . In . the first attack on the insurgents the Royal troops wer ? driven back , but Gen . Pronio had since left Palermo ' with some regiments of the line and artillery . The correspondence of tfee government and some government money had fallen into the hands of the insurgents . The Swiss troops ' had refused to act , on the ground that it was an affair for the police- The other ' Paris papers contain nothing to confirm this account , nor tdoes the ' Evenement ' give the date of the news .
SPAIN . The Barcelona journals are full of details respecting the English squadron , which arrived on the 6 th , but was net expected to remain many days , in consequence of . the insecurity of the anchorage for vessels of the large calibre of , which the liners and steamers of the squadron are composed . ; ¦ ¦ ¦' :
PORTUGAL . The Pope ' s new cardinal arrived in Lisbon on the 4 th inst . He was enthroned on the , 5 th instant with much pomp . A grand entertainment was given on the occasion ) Tbe English Ambassador and the officers of the experimental squadron were invited , but declined the invitation . :. . A commission haa been appointed by Royal decree in Portugal , to promote tbe transmission of Portiigeese manufactures to the Exhibition of 1851 .
TURKEY . A Pera correspondent of the 'Oat . Deutsche Post'gives some interesting details relative to the conspiracy recently discovered at Constantinople . By a singular chance the Sultan himself found certain suspicious documents in the room of one of his adjutants , the Bimbaschi Mustapba Effendi , who was arrested with twelve- other . persO j hs of high standing in the seraglio , the conspiracy-was dU rected against the Sultan and Rescbid Pasha ' s Cabinet . Abdul Asaia , the Sultan s brother , if not actually a sharer in the conspiracy , certainly con * nived at the revolutionary movements which 'have been brought to light . The Sultan ' s physician , an Austrian , was sent for by his Imperial master , who , after dismissing his first , chamberlain ' , conversed with the doctor for a whole hour . The same
evening the latter left Constantinople for Trieste with his wife and family . ¦ . > . . , , , .
UNITED STATES . The annual message , of the Governor of South Carolina was delivered to the Legislature on the 26 th of November . In view of the . present aspect of affairs , he recommends an organised system of militaiy preparations , including the establishment of a depot for the munitions of war , the instruction and discipline of the militia , and the purchase of artillery and engineering instruments . He also advises the removal from the State of all free coloured persons not possessed of real or slave property . In regard to the question of ' slavery , the Governor
recommends joint State action if possible , but declares the right of the State to secede , and that it is the duty of the State to interpose her ' sovereignty to protect her citizens- —urges co-operation with sister States to aid in averting the doom impending en the civil institutions of the south , and , in conclusion , recommends a day of fasting and prayer , to invoke God's protection and guidance ; that he would enlig hten the minds of our federal rulerSr tbe north and its citizens , and direct them in the way of truth , of reason and juBticej and preserve , an once happy political famil y frop the unspeakable ' horrors of civil strife .. .

The Thirty . first Congress , of the , United States commenced its second session on Monday , the 2 nd inst ., on which the usual message of the President was read before it ; 'ih which he said they' were at peace with all nations . Alluding to the Nicaragua Convention he says : — ' : / , ' In addition to the stipulations contained in this Convention , two other objects remain to be accomplished between the contracting-powers : ' First , the designation and establishment of a free port at each end of . the canal . 'Second , an agreement fixing tbe distance from the shore within which belligerent maratime operations shall hot be carried on . On these points there is little doubt that the two governments will come to an understanding . ' i , ; , ; ' , . rr ... -. ' .
. ¦! The company of citizens , of . the . UniteOtates , who have acquired from the State of Nicaragua the privilege of constructing a ship canal between the two oceans , through the territory of that State have made' progress in their preliminary arrangements . The- treaty between tbe United States and Great Britain , of the 19 th of April lastj above referred to , being now in operation , itis to be hoped that the guarantees which it offers will be sufficient to secure the completion of tbe work with all practicable expedition . ¦ 'Citizens of the United States have undertaken tbe connexion of the , two oceans by means of a railroad across Ihe Istlimus of TehuantepuO , Under grants of the Mexican government to a citizen of that republic '
It appears , however the Mexican Government entertain strong objection to some of the stipulations , but it is hoped that they will be ultimately settled agreeably to all parties . As to finances , the receipts for the year were 47 . 421 , 748 dols . and 90 cents . ; the expenditure 43 , 200 , 186 dols , and ' 90 cents . The public debt has been reduced 495 . 276 dols . and 79 cents . With regard to the tariff , he says s' 1 strongl y recommend a modification of the
present , tariff , winch has prostrated some of our most important and neceaaary manufactures , ' and that specific duties be imposed sufficient to raise the r quisite revenue , making such discrimination in favour of the industrial pursuits of our own country as to encourage home production , without excluding foreign competition . It is also important that a'i unfortunate provision in the present tariff , which imposes a much higher duty upon the raw material that enters into our manufactures than upon the manufactured article , should be remedied .
As before stated , specific duties would in my opinion , afford the most perfect remedy for this evil ; but , if you should not concur in this view , than , as a partial remedy , I beg lew mpecthlb to recommend that , instead el taking , ths invoice

of the article abroad as a means of determining its value here , thecorrectnessi of which invoice it is in many cases impossible toh verify , the law , be so changed as torequire a ! home valuation or appraisal , to be regulated in such a manner as to givers far as practicable , uniformity in several ports . He recommends the establishment of an Agricultural Bureau , ; to be charged with theduty of giving to this leading branch of American
industry the encburagemerit which it _ so well deserves ; In view of ; the immense mineral resources ' of the " country , provision should also be made for the employment of a competent mineralogist and chemist , who would be required , under the direction of the head of the burea , to collect specimens of the various minerals of our country , and to ascertain , by careful analysis , their respective elements' and properties / and their adaptation to aseful purposes .
He should also be required to examine and report upon the qualities of different soils , and the manures best calculated to improve their productiveness . By publishing the results of auch experiments , with suitable explanations , and by the collection and distribution of rare seeds and plants , with instructions as to the best system of cultivation , much may be done to promote this . great national interest .

Ina letter received from the colony on the 13 th of October , it is observed , that < Almost the whole colony , with the exception of the eastern provinces , have recorded their approval of : tbe conduct of the four seceding members i and the reason why that part of the colony refrains from offering any opinion upon the recent proceedings of the councils ia , that they will not pledge themselves to recognise any form for a constitution , which does not adopt as its basis the removal of the seat of government to a central position , or the separation of the provinces / The whole of the colonial press agree in supporting the protesting majority . ¦ AUSTRALIA .
Earl Grey has sent a despatch to Sir G . Fitzroy , which is published in the New South Wales papers , in reply to Dr . Lang ' s letters which appeared in the London papers of the 17 th and 19 th ult . . After denying the charge , Earl Grey says ;—'But one remark which I must make upon this subject is , that in the course of nearly three years , during which Dr . Lang informs me that he has been in England , be never once addressed a complaint to me , either as to the discourtesy which he alleges he met with , or on any other of the topics upon which he now animadverts . It was only when he had a ] .
ready embarked in the ship which was to convey him from this country and it was no longer possible that he could be called upon to make good his statements , and after it had been discovered that his conduct in certain , transactions might become the subject of a prosecution at law , that he addressed , not in reality tome , but . to the public , which is unacquainted with the circumstances to which he adverts , a letter , calculated to create an entirely erroneous impression as to what had passed between himself and ' the departments of the government with which he has been to long in communication . '
'The papers enclosed in my recent despatch , No . 189 , of the 30 th November , contain evidence of the following facts : first , that the plans for the promotion of emigration which Dr . Lang successively , proposed to me differed so little from each other , and that in each new proposal he took so little notice either of the objections pointed out to those preceding it , or of the offers so repeatedly made to him to promote the objects he had in view if he would assent to more reasonable terms that it is difficult to suppose that he was acting in earnest , or wished to bring the matter to any practical conclusion .. Secondly , that while he was thus keeping in ostensible communication with this office , he pursuaded the
public that he was carrying on negotiations with her Majesty ' s government which were likely to lead to a favourable result , and that even important concessions had been made to his advantage . Thirdly , that by a discreditable though transparent manoeuvre he pretended . to make areqaest to me before the departure of a certain vessel ) but kept back the letter until it had sailed , and in the meanwhile sent out to you by that very ship a letter designed to make you believe that bis request had b ? en granted , and to lead you thereby into making certain payments of money and certain grants of land , which he knew he was not entitled to claim . Fourthly , that havina been repeatedly warned that any immigrants sent
out m the manner in which those despatches on that occasion were sent out would not be entitled , to grants of land , he induced t hem nevertheless to pay for their passages , and to emigrate under the impression thatthey were so entitled : so that those emigrants arrived under circumstances altogether different from these they expected , and some of them , it may be inferred from your report , in actual want of the means of subsistence . These are the charges , founded on the evidence of his own letters , under which Dr . Lang now labours ; and their gravity is such , that , unless they can be refuted , it would seem a ' mo 8 t unnecessary further to notice any of his allegations . ' ,
