TRA . NCB . The trial of the' Siecle , ' for a libel against the President of the Republic , drew on Wednesday last to the Court of Assizesi . i crowded audience . The interest of the proceedings lay in the eminence of the witnesses examined , and in the confirmation which resulted of the principal fact alleged by the « Siecle . ' The incriminated article stated that the Chief subject of Conversation in the lobbies of the Assembly on that day , Juty 28 th , was the loss of * 12 , C 00 by Miss Howard , through unfortunate speculations at the Bourse . This debt , it was said . had been discharged in fall by the President of the Republic , notwithstanding the known penury of the coffers of the Elysee in consequence of'the'Senial 6 < the dotation . M . St . Marc Rizaudie ,
representative , corroborated the circulation of the report of the Assembly , and idded that he had heard that , afterthe payment of the lady ' s losses , only 263 fr . remained in the chest of the Elytee . M . Baze was next called , and said that he was not in the habit of stopping to hear the gossip of groups in the Chamber ; bat as for the rumours of coups d ' etat alluded to by the' Siecle' he could not avoid hearing a good deal about them —( laughter)—although lie thought there was less talk about such eventualities this year than the last , owing to the impossibility of carrying such an enterprise into execntion ; ( Fresh laughter . ) M . Goudchaux , ex-Minister of-Finance , jm aware of the facts relative to the losBes of the English lady in question . M . Abbatncci was next examined . He admitted that
at the Elysee , as in the head-quarters of every Other government , there was more than one policy ; but although there was only one which he bimselt approved , he could not undertake to stigmatise the councils to which he was opposed . He had heard during the last three years continual rumours of toupsdelat without a shadow of ground for such iuspicions . Certainly he bad exerted himself to the utmost to procure the nomination of grave and independent meo . on the committee of permanence , and the composition of that body afforded the best
evidence of the tranquillity of the public mind , and ' ef the falsehood of the' SiecleV representation that any mad enterprise on the part of the Eiysee was dreaded by the people or their representatives . The jury having admitted attenuating circumstances on behalf of the defendants , rejected the application of the advocate-general for the suspension of the journal , and' condemned the gerant , Sougere , to 2 , 500 fr . fine , with three months' imprisonment , and M . Jonrdan , the writer of the article , to 500 / r ., with two months' imprisonment .
TBIAL BT CjURT MARTIAL OF THE LYONS - "¦ - ¦ - ¦ .. CONSPIRATORS . .. '• At ten o ' clock on the morning of the 5 th , the court-martial assembled at the Palais da Justice , for the trial of the fi . ty conspirators concerned in the Lyons plot , for upsetting the government and introducing the red republic . M . Couston , colonel of the 13 th Regiment of the line , was the president . The proceedings opened by the calling over the names of the witnesses , to the number of 115 , among whom are several sub-prefects , literary men , journalists , and some women . Thirty barristers , retained for the defence of the various prisoners , took their seats on the counsels benches . Among them were four
representatives of the people—M . Michel ( de Bourges ) , MM . Bancel , Boisset , and Madier Montjau . The prisoners , to the number of thirty-seven , were then brought into court , and answered to their names , fourteen other persons included in the accusation Save absconded . The principal prisoner is M . Gent , of the Parisian bar , formerly a representative of the department of the here . He is defended by M . Michel { de Bourges ) . Among the other prisoners are barlisters , farmers , journalists , and persons of various trades and professions . They were almost all well , and many of them elegantly dressed . After a warning by the President tbat any expression of approbation Of oi disapprobation on the part of tbe
audience would be repressed and severely punished , the registrar read the ' requiaitoire , ' which answers to what is called the ' acte d ' accusation' in the French civil courts , and to the English indictment « t charge .. This , document , in putsua&ce of the invariable practice of French crimiual proceedings , is an elaborate narration of everything relating , to the prisoner ' s past life which may in any degree , however remote , tend to throw suspicion upon hiss , the whole carefully arranged so as to bring the whole mass of facts to converge and press against the prisoner with the utmost possible force . Tbe introductory part of this ' requisitorie * slates that Gent , after having been in danger of being tried before the
high court of justice at'Versailles , had been fortunate eaoHgh ; thanks to the zealons intervention of M ~ Lacrosse , to obtain a declaration of the court dismissing him from the prosecution . Alluding to this in a letter to his brother ( 15 th August , 1849 ) , he said that 'he was very glad not to hare been Compromised in tbat stupid broil of June 13 th , and to have preserved his freedom of action for more serious matters . The part that he had played under the provisional government , and in the constituent Assembly , had excited in him the thirst for enjoyment and for power , which seemed to have tormeated his whole life , and to have diverted him from regular and persevering labour . His pride
re-Tolted from tbe idea of condemning himself to the habits of a Bimple life . Bather , ' said be in the * tme letter , ' than return to a secondary and necesfary precarious position , I will return to Avignon , where there must be plenty to do to re-organise and rally the partj which must now be rather checked , and perhapi somewhat cooled . While pondering in what direction he mi ght best employ his ambitious activity he entreated his brother to procure him money , that he might conceal the disastrous reality of his pecuniary affairs , and continue to play the part of s man who was beholden to no one . 'For / said he , with as much impudence as ability , * if I appear necessitous , I 8 bB . ll not Bucceed ,
because as I will not go to others , but want others to come to me , I ehouttUose that consideration in their eyes which it is so easy for me to preserve / Sucb were the adventurous dispositions of Gent when he was sent to Lyons to concur in defending the prisoners who were accused before a court-martial of having taken a part in tbe insurrection of the 15 th « f June , 1849 . He joyfully accepted , as a piece of xare lucS , a mission which transported him into the hottest stronghold of the mobocracy . The success which he obtained before the courts-martial , the numerous and intimate acquaintances which he formed among the men the most implicated in demagogical intrigues , the superiority which his education and intelli gence gave him over the greater part of those persons soongamed him a political
position , of which he availed himself hybecom . ing a candidate at the last elections of the Saoneand loire . His failure at those elections seemed to have been partly attributable to the opposition made to him by the leaders of the secret society called tbe Lyouese Carbonari , between whom and iSent an enmity existed , on which account Gent endeavoured to damage them in the eyes of the nob by spreading the report that they were in the pay of the police . In a letter to his brother he ttys : * l affitta that the police are the soul . of everything—that they know everything . If necessary , write to roe , and I will answer . Keep me informed . " Notwithstanding tbe expressions in that letter , it was impossible , after what had come to the knowledge of the prosecution , to canstrne it
as a sincere protest against secret societies in general . Gent had long been connected with the societies of the south . When the courts-martial were over , Gent bad no longer any vocation at Lyons . He , however , prolonged bis stay there , making frequent excursions into Drome and to Vaucluse which must have cost him much money , but constantly returning to Lyons . Tne attention of government was awakened , ana it was evident tbat « uch a man as Gent could onl y be in Lyons for the purpose of political intrigue . In September and uctober there were rumours of insurrection in every EUSL" ? » * eneral uneasiness existed .

The letters are referred to by their numbers among the papers seiz-d , but their contents are not set forth / TheCrequiiiioire proceeds to , say that the lettersVwhfeb bad « een seized were fragments of a correspondence as extensive as actively carried < , n , that their contents fully justified the persevering steps of the government to get at the secret , and strikingly confirmed the reports of the secret police . That they disclosed one pjF , the most . vast conspiracies that had ever been hatched—for the revolutionary organisation which the correspondence hetraved was directed by central committees
established in London , Paris , and Lyons , and supported hy many other secondary committees . Tbe leaders of the criminal enterprise nattered themselves that they obtained the promise of co-operation from several representatives of the Mountain . Gent ' s correspondents apeak of secret contributions of a maments , of soldiers full of ardour and im patience ready to rise at the first signal . One of the letters recommended Gent ' . not to spare . heads . ' The first letters discovered having shown the characteristic element of a plot , it became the duty of the prosecution to complete the evidence . In spite of the difficulties of the task occasioned by the concealment of papers ,
when the new of Gent ' s amest rapidly spread , tbe domiciliary visits which had been made had brought together a mass of documents , sufficient to enable government to appreciate the extent of the conspiracy , the plan of tbe conspirators , the resources which they reckoned , and to trace the pro gressive march of their proceedings through all its principal stages . The introductory part of the reqvri&ition » followed by a description ,, divided into chapters , of immense length , of the political Stale of the south of France in 1849 and 1850 ; of the numerous societies which atfer clubs were prohi . biied were established under tbe name of' Cercles / such as the' Cercle des Travailleurs / Cercle democratique / ' Cercle pbilanthropique , " &C , all of
which under the pretext of philanthropic objects were in fact clubs of the most dangerous character . Ons society was called the Nouvelle Montagne , and its organisation was such that there was a chief . for every ten meo . In this society the . members admitted were received with great formalities , and were made to take solemn oath on a poignard , in the name of' the martyrs of liberty / to take arms against tyranny , to put tyrants to death , and to combat for the democratic and social republic . The members bad words and signs for recognising each other . Tbe connexion of Gent with the latter society was Very elaborately traced . The reading of this document continued up to the rising of the court at five o'clock ...
Considerable alarm was excited on Thursday evening by the news given in the ' Patrie , ' which prognosticated imminent disorders ; but' the intelli gence received on Monday from the department of the Rhone is of a more reassuring character . On the 5 ; h , at the breaking up of the first sitting of tbe court-martial , tbe eminent representatives who have undertaken the defence were the object : of a sort of popular ovation . Amid the cries of ' Vive la Republique ! ' 'Vive Michel de Bourges !' the latter chief of the Mountain , with bia brother ad » vocates , was conducted to , the Hotel de l'Europe
liy a vast concourse of people , chiefly of the working classes . But the crowd passed without uttering any provocation before the strong body of cuirassiers posted at the abutment of the Pont de l'Areheveehe . The next morning a fresh crowd gathered about the hotel where M . Michel was breakfasting ' . Strict orders have been given by General Castellane to nip these demonstrations in the bud , and in future no crowds will be per mitted to form for the . purpose of escorting home in triumph the popular leader . of the democratic party . . , .
At Lyons , on Wednesday evening , some women , relatives of the Prisoners , were detected by the procureur-general and a captain of the gensdarmeB making some remarks on the proceedings at , the door of the Palais de Justice . An altercation ensued , which resulted in the arrest of three of the women . A . meeting of the Counsel for the prisoners look place afterwards , at M . Michel de Bourges ' s hotel , and it was agreed that , in order to avoid any occasion of irritation , no mention of this arrest should be made in open court . The counsel then bad a private interview with Col . Couston , the
president , and represented to him that neither the demeanour of the prisoners , nor the mode in which the defence would be conducted , would . be calcu . lated to produce any agitation out of doors , ; but that the exlteme severity o ! the measures which had been taken were likely to produce a contrary impression , which in itself was dangerous to a certain extent . The colonel promised to report these observations to General Castellane ; Toe women were released the next day , and the demonstration of military force around M . Michel de Bourges ' s hotel was less conspicuous than it had been .
Up to the fourth day all the time of the court had been . occupied in reading the preparatory evidence . ...... AoGDST 8 . —The whole day was again occupied in reading evidence , consisting chiefly in letters by or to the prisoners . An incident occurred which very nearl y resulted in depriving the ' prisoners of the assistance of their counsel . , This would certainly have happened but for the really admirable conduct of Colonel Couston , who , with all the dignity and firmness which belonged to the president of a court-martial , evinces under most difficult circumstances , a spirit of kindness and conciliation which is far less common . Whilst the registrar was
reading one of the 222 . letters which are in evidence against Gent , the latter told him to pass that letter over . The registrar stopped reading , on which the president warmly rebuked him for attending to an order from a prisoner . Subsequently , upon Captain Merle , who acts as judge advocate , expressing his opinion that it was necessary to read all the letters of Gent , the latter explained that there was nothing that he desired to suppress , but that some of his letters to his brother related to such merely private matters that he wished to put it to the judge advocate whether it was worth while to read them . M . Michel ( de Bonrges ) then observed tbat the letter to which Gent ' s interruption referred , was one in which he bad spoken to his brother of bis own success at
the bar , and that it was from a natural feeling of modesty that he did not wish to hear , it read in pnblic . The President remarked somewhat sternly , that the fact stated was no justification for the prisoner having presumed to give an order to the registrar . Gent then denied that he had given any order , and upon the President repeating the assertion , Gent contradicted him with much warmth of manner . The President instantl y ordered the gensdarmeB to take Gent out of court , which waB at once done . M . Michel ( de Bourges ) was proceeding to make an apology for Gent , when the Presideat told him that the trial Bhould proceed in Gent ' s absence . M . Michel ( de Bourges ) then said he would withdraw from the defence . M . de Madier Montjau rose and said tbat he and the rest of his
colleagues , also felt that they could not continue their task and felt it right to withdraw . The President then said , with much feeling , that he deeply regretted to hear that resolution , that it would be a terrible loss to the prisoners , and tbat the court also were anxious to have the assistance of counsel , and he would gladly listen to them . He would revoke his decision and readmit Gent , if the latter would only admit tbat he had been -wrong . M . Michel ( de Borges ) observed that Gent had not
intended to be disrespectful to the President , and consequently could not admit that he was wrong . The President then said that he would go so far as to admit him without any apology on the understanding that he would conduct himself properly for the More . M . Michel ( de Bourges ) withdrew wuh this message , and with some difficulty persuaded Gent to return into court . Gent , on taking his place , bowed sli ghtly to the President , who returned the salutation . The reading of evidence was then resumed . ¦ * r - -
August 9 . —At a quarter-past twelve the court re-assembled . In the crowd on the Pont de l'Archeveche ; as the advocates of tbe prisoners passed a young man was arrested for having cried ' Vive la Republique !' The reading or the documents was proceeded with ; bnt after a while was interrupted by a noiBe at the door , which turned out to be caused by M . Greppo , the representative , to whom the gen darmes refused admission . The President ordered that M . Grepno should be admitted . Nothing more of importance occurred , and the court adjourned at fire o ' clock .

yur , the linguige of which they find no - occasion to alter . The vote on the revision has been the first step towards the triumph of their cause , which they thenxforetold . They rejected the revision because the constitution , though far from , being the boundary of political and social progress is a bar . to all monarchical factions , and , above , all , because they coiild never consent thatthe " fundamental law ¦ i-the offspring of universal . suffrage—should be altered by mwiciefl-Bnffragci ... They refer to the bumbled tone of the legitimists , who , not daring to unfurl their flag , are reduced to . seek their king at the Elysee , which in return is . compelled to make common cause with them . By their reciprocal con *
cessions , the , President and / the ; majority "have f i . vailed each other , in / their endeavours to weaken and to destroy the Republics Abroad , French troops and French treasure , are employed in upholding the government of the Pope , a ^ government at Oncfi stupid ,, immoral , and cruel , which condemns to exile , imprisonment , infamous punishments , and more humiliating torture , all that is illustrious of honest in the country ; a government which , under the very eyes of the French army , is . plotting wiitii the King of Naples ~ that . executioner of bis subjects—how to shake off a protection which he fears ' and repudiates . At home , after the suppression of the right of public meeting—the restriction of the
liberty , of the tribune—the destruction of tbe liberty of the press—tbe abandonment of education to the Jesuits—the dismissal of public functionaries—the mutilation of universal suffrage—arid after the state of siege in five departments , it might have been thought ; that there was nothing left of which , the Republic could be robbed . . But every day anew blow has been struck at the edifice of February The manifesto then enumerates tbe acts of the government and of the Assembly , of which the Mountain complain . The long detention of tbe prisoners now on trial at Lyons—the , trial of non-military cit zens by court-martial—the prolongation of the state of siege for which the Lyons plot was . the
pretest—the severe laws against the population of Lyons—the dissolution of the national guard , and of municipal councils for having cried 'Vive la Republique' in the ears of the President—the prolongation of the mandate of officers of the national guard neyond the period for . which they we . re , elected--and tbe refusal of an amneity to those prisoners of June who were transported to Belle Isle without a trial . Tbe manifesto then protests against the prorogation of the Assembly while there remained so many measures of vital importance to the people unde » termined . An-allusion is then' made to the demands of the President for money in addition to his constitutional salary and large allowances , and
to the refusal of the Assembly , indignant at the imperialist demonstrations which bad : been made , to grant the : I 3800 , 000 f . i which were asked for at the beginning of this year . , Acting in the : same spirit , the Assembly-overthrew the ministry ; . But all : at once ( he majority returned to its' old path , the dismissed ministers were restored , ' and the Committee of Permanence has been composed of legitimists at > d ministerialists . An alliance hae been made between Buonapart and Henry V ., of which the Jesuits are the intermediators . Kings look on and applaud , joy is in . the enemy's camp , but the Republic lets them alone , knowing that the day of reparation is at band . The Mountain then claim credit for the
consistency with which they have always protested against the legality of the law of the ' 31 st of ^ May . They describe universal suffrage as an imprescriptible right , whichqvery man receivegin some sort from God , the ' founder of all society , a sacred rig ht which the written law does notconcede but proclaims . In the presence of the law of the 31 st of May , ' which is a law pregnant with civil war , they , acting as they had a right to do , and weighing aUVcircnmrtances , bad refused the revision ; they will refuse it againthe revision will not , take place , that is a settled fact for the future as . much as for the past . In 1852 , according to the fundamental ' law , the sovereign people in its university will elect a new As .
sembly and a new President , the executive and subaltern agent of the legislative power . How can this law , which has already been peaceably acted upon several times , bring on a crisis ? Tho enemies of the Republic ask what can be done if the people elect . ' Louis Napoleon ? To . this question their only answer is that the people will not elect Louis Napoleon . The people know that his election is unconstitutional , and the people desire tbat the constitution should be respected . ' The trial has been made , and the people now know tbat between a prince and a Republic there ib an abyss . The people understooditba ' tLouis 'N apoleon ' cannot' be a candidate without violating his oath '; and the peo
pie will have ah honest man at the head of the Repub lie . Those who think otherwise do not know the people . They are the same men who call the people the vile multitude . The madifestoconcludes in the follow , ing words : ' Thus , then , the law of the 31 st of May repealed by the Assembly , who feel the impossibility of ma ' ntainJHgit in the face of the constitution ; the re-election oi Buonaparte impossible , because it would be to violate the constitution ; the prorogation of the existing powers impossible , because it would be to violate the constitution ; the
constitution ruling all citizens and all institutions . Such is 1852 , without disorder ,, without crisis . It would not be a crisis , but a revolution , which would arise from the violation of our fundamental compact . It would be a revolution legitimate as right—holy as justice—sacred as liberty .,. In such a case we here declare with deliberate determination , that , wrapped in the banner of the constitution , we should not be found wanting in any of those duties which the .. safety of the Republic might impose upon us . ' ' .. ' . j .
On Saturday last the Assembly met for the last time before the vacation ; not more than 300 were present when the chair was taken . This , number gradually diminished . After transacting some matter of course , business of the most uninteresting kind , M . Lacrosse observed that there were not members enough present to make a house , and that the prorogation had been : voted . The Assembly then dispersed id silence at half , past three . ' The manifesto of the Mountain has appeared in the'National' and the 'Press . ' It is signed by ninety-three representatives . ; The names of fourteen others , including Victor Hugo , Eraile de Girardin , Pascal' Diiprat , and dupont ( de . Bugaac ) ata published as having adhered to the manifesto . The name
of Carnot is not among either the signatures or adhesions . The . document , which ia very long , occupying five columns of the . . 'National , ' is moderate in its tone . It insists upon the illegality of the law of the 31 st of May ; assumes that that law will yet be repealed by the present Assembly ; and dwells upon the impossibility of the re-election of Louis Napoleon , because such a re-election would violate the constitution ! It declares the determina . tion of the Mountain not to , vote for revision before the new elections , and expresses a confident belief that 1852 , which is falsely pointed to as a crisis , will pass over legally and peacefully . It is remarkable that the ' Siecle , ' General Cavaignac ' s journal , does not contain the manifesto . '
, T » p new democratic journals are announced to appear at the end of October . One to be called the ' Republique Universelle , ' under the patronage and direction of the . refugees in London , will be in French , Italian , and German , and thousands of copies are intended to be sent to Italy and Germany . The other win be entitled ( tie 'Journal dea Elections , and will recommend candidates to the electors . 100 , 000 copies of this are to be distributed gratuitously id tbe country . The funds will be supplied by the central purse in London , which is said to be well filled .
GERMANY . The federal commissioners have left the electorate of Hessen for good , and their commissions have been returned to the Piet . The' German papers have led the public astray , on this point , by stating that they had merely changed the aeat of their labours , transferring it from Cassel to Frankfort . The elector of Hessen-Cassel and his adviser Hassenpflug are once again sole masters of the unhappy land over which they rule . The inhabitants are wasted in mind and ruined in pocket by a military occupation which has . lasted eight or n ine months . Those who were ible have emigrated ; those who remain must submit to whatever the government may choose to exact .
According to the Correspondence the Diet are now about to enter on a new field of action , that is , to bring ecclesiastical and religious affairs ' under its cognisance . The pretext is this : that ' places of worship are the hot-beds of , the democratic pro * pagahdism , ' and the object will be therefore to suppress them altogether . . But whatever the Diet may do in this respect , the evangelical church o / Prussia , who has already solemnly put these congregations , with formal ban and anathema , out ef the pale- of Christianity , wiH haye the honour of having led the way to the religious persecution meditated , The persecution " consequently Wilinotso much , be that of a civil power as that of a ' so- ' called P rotestant and evangelical church ; " ' Preparations are now . again everywhere actively maiNJJg for the assembling of tbe provincial Diets

You will recollect that the collection of the class and classified income tax was the pretext originally put forth for their revival . It appears , however , now that their attributes are to be so multifarious and extensive as to embraceall the objects of provincial administration .
ROMAN STATES . v , We have received letters , dated July 31 , from which we learn that great discontent prevailed in the city ^ nd throug hout the provinces , on account of the new taxes and contributions levied by the government , and also on account of the continued measures of political persecution against all who were not considered as obsequious partisans of the clerical M ^ tmeV ' Amongst the most recent victims , our correspondent mentions Signor Blasi , a , man of extremely ffioderate principles ; who had advocated the principle ef non-reMstance when the French entered Civita Yccchia , and had subsequently afforded valuable information to tbe French envoy , M : de Corcelles .

The prisons of the accused were immediately searched , and these . unhappy men under trial for the events of May , 1848 , were deprived of every paper necesBary : for their defence , Such injustice was'followed up by an intimation to the lawyers employed to assist the prisoners ' as counsel tbat it would be wise not to attempt todefend their clients ! " 1 know not what to do , " said one of the lawyers in my presence "I have already defended Beveral political pri sonera , at great personal risk ; I have a large family ; if I am thrown into prison myself , who will help me ?'' Such is the ' position of the prisoners , ' for whom the crown lawyers in the attodi accuso ask death from a packed bench of judges , the declared tools of the government . Can a British cabinet continue to hold friendly relationsvpith such a cabinet as this ? ¦ .
' The police prosecutions by no means diminish and sixty new spies have lately been added to that honourable body , under the title of Inspectors . Peccheneda told them they would have no pay until they had done sobse work , ThuB these" wretched scoundrels must , of necessity , ruin many familie before they can receive their reward . '' his Majesty to balance in some measure the military and civi authorities , has begun by empowering the generals of districts to use their discretion in liberating "political offenders , " as they are called . Thus the irritation is kept up—the military roan denounces the police ; and charges that body with having received large . sums of money from the victims
of the paid spy—each calls the other " republicans . The King listens , tries to concilitate , but has n more power to remedy , because bis Majesty icnow the only cure for the evil is to return to represen tative government . Whilst every description o cruelty is practised on those who hold libera l opinions , actuarcrimes are lightly passed over , -as an'illustration ' of which I ' may ' narrate toe ( oU lowing ; circumstance .

destroyed by the rabble , instigated by the authorities ; and in Salerno , General Palma had had flogged more than twenty persons publicly in the marketplace , in order that they should confess where they bad concealed their arms . In the councils Of the cabinet the plan was discussed : to establish an extraordinary commission under the " name of Giunta di Stato , with the power to ' pass ( sentences without the judicial , forms .

an order in which he named a Giunta di Stato , pe eondannare seriza le formalita giu&ician ' e , abbrediando ; termini ad ore . These were the expressions of the decree .

The body of the senator qf" Rome , Prince del Drago , -was transported with great pomp on the evening of the 28 th ult . from his palace to the church , of St . Vincent , and Athanasm 9 , sunovinded with all the municipal splendours suiting his civic rank , His death , according to the official journal , filled the inhabitants of Rome with grief , but this account must be received as one of the usualpartycoloured statements of tbat publication , since the p'iblic ' entertains no great" regret for the' defunct prince , ' whose ' avarice was such , that he died Withont having left anything' to the old servants' who had been forty or fifty years in his gervsc ' e , a ' proceeding quite contrary : to the usual custom of noble families and even ecclesiastics of high Tank in Rome .
In spite ; however , of the pretended attachment of the people to the memory of the senator , the polics authorities thought proper , to send an enormous number oisbMio protect bis . ¦ funeral , 'procession from any demonstration , of . disapprobation , and one unfortunate individual , who was bold enough to hiss the portege , wsb immediately dragged off to prison . h . very , curious circumstance , took place in the church in which the prince was interred , the whole building being found full of fimoke on the following dayj to the ' great alarm' and " superstitious horror of the early visitants to the ' ehurebj who wisely concluded that Old Nick had been , during the night , to ^ arry offt as' his rightful prey > the body of the Senator , and that the smoke and stench he had left behind him were but the natural atmosphere of his infernal abode .
: The strong rebuff of some tumultuous cloud . Instinct with fire and nitre . , . As the ecclesiastical authorities were reluctant to admit of such preternatural visitations , as applied to one of their own adherents , they ordered the church to be thoroughly examined , and the vault in which the prince senator had been interred , to be reopened . This was done ; but no sooner was the slab ' remored than a burst of mingled flames and smokei . accompanied by a most mephitic odour , drove the workmen from the spot , and obliged them to seek the aid of a company of firemen j who-soon extinguished' the flames of his Satanic majesty . ThiB conflagration is attributed by some persons to
a spontaneous combustion of the gaBeB ariging . ( roro a number of corpses in different stages of decomposition in the vault , and by others to the effect of a piece of lighted torch dropped whilst lowering the coffin on the preceding evening ; but amongBt the , common people the opinion is irrevocably fixed , and will be banded down by tradition , that the senator of Rome , the old Prince del Drago , was punished for his avarice b y the devil , who would not even leave his mortal spoil to moulder peaceably away in consecrated ground .
