FRANCE . ( prom oub own coebespondent . ) Paris , November 16 . Yesterday , ~ tothe great surprise of many , though not to that of those who " know the reason why , " the Moniteur appeared , its columns graced with three documents ; of a sort that have hot appeared in the official journal of late * three Republican manifestoes , together with the protest of 3 tf . de Chamhord . The Bepublicari manifestoes consist of that from the refugees in Jersey , the proclamation of the society La
Revolution , both of which were published in your journal last week , and one from the Revolutionary Committee , of which I subjoin a copy . Not only are all the four documents published in the Mofiiteur , but they are printed " by order , " and posted upon the walls of Paris . The government does this under the pretence that Louis Bonaparte is so firmly seated in the affections of the people , that such " seditious publications" cannot do him injury . The truth is , however , that the authorities found they could not prevent their circulation ; in spite of all their assertions , Paris and the departments were flooded with them , so , on the advice of M . de Persigny , Bonaparte made a virtue of necessity , and published the documents officially , in order to make a show of " free discussion "
The following is the " protest" of M . de Chambord . You will see that it is Eke all previous Frohsdorf manifestoes ; that timidity and imbecility are breathed in every sentence : — " Frenchmen , —During the trials my country has been exposed to I have condemned myself to voluntary inaction and to silence . I could not forgive myself if I had for a single moment aggravated its embarrassments and its perils . Separated from France , it is yet dear and sacred to me , as much , and more than , if I had never quitted . I know not if it will be allowed me some day to serve my country , but I am very certain that it will not have to reproach me with a word or an
act which can affect her prosperity and her repose . It is her honour as well as mine—it is regard for her future—it is my duty towards her , which induces me to raise my voice this day . —Frenchmen ! You desire Monarchy ; you have admitted that it alone can render you , with a regular and stable Government , that security of all ri ghts , that guarantee of all interests , that permament accord of a strong authority and of a wise liberty , which found and secured the happiness of nations . Do not give yourselves up to illusions which , sooner or later , ¦ will be fatal to you . The new Empire proposed to you cannot be that temperate and durable monarchy whose benefit you await . People
are deceived , and they deceive you , when they promise them to you in its name . True Monarchy , traditional Monarchy , supported on hereditary rights and sanctioned by time , can alone put you in possession of these precious advantages , and enable you to enjoy them for ever . The genius and the glory of Napoleon were not snfficient to found anything stable ; his name , the memory of his acts , can still less do so . Security is not re-established by disturbing the principle on which the Throne reposes ; and all rights are not consolidated by disregarding that which is amongst us the necessary basis of the Monarchical order . The Monarchy in France is the Royal House of
France , indissolubly united to the nation . My ancestors and yours have passed centuries , labouring in concert , according to the usages and the necessities of the period , in the development of our noble country . The French , during 1 , 400 years , alone amongst all the people of Europe , have always had princes of their nation and of their blood at their head . The history of my ancestors is the history of the progressive greatness of France ; and it was that Monarch y which endowed her with the conquest of Algiers , so rich in prosperity , so rich in future prosperity , so rich already by the high military reputations which it has created , and the glory of which is added to all your glories . Whatever may be the designs of God with respect to you and to me , who have remained the chief of the ancient race , of your Kings
the heir of that long line of Monarchs who , during so many centuries have increased , and cause to be respected , the power and the fortunes of France , I owe it to myself , I owe it to my family and to my country , to protest loudly against false and perilous arrangements . I , consequently , maintain my right , which is the surest guarantee of yours , and , taking God to witness , I declare to France and to the world that , faithful to the laws of the kingdom and to the tradition of my ancestors , I will religiously preserve , to my last breath , the deposit of the hereditary Monarchy of which Providence has intrusted to ine the care , and which is the only port of refuge where France , the object of our love , may , after so many storms at length find rest and happiness .
The more spirited manifesto of the Revolutionary Society is as follows : — " Citizens . —^ democracy has been obliged to impose on itself some months of expectation and sufiering before striking the brigand who disgraces our country , in order to re-organize itself , in spite of the Bonapartist terror . Be then ready for everything and at every moment . Endeavour to see one another , and to meet often by twosby
, fours , by sixes , and by tens , if it be possible ; form groups and centres which shall communicate with each other by word of mouth . Conspire , in short , with courage and prudence , for persecution should render those whom it wishes to annihilate ardent . When the great news shall arrive to you , let it find you prepared , without surprising you , as that of the 2 nd December did . Remember that , on that day , you vainly expected a signal on the part of the traitors or cowards
who called themselves your chiefs . Be no longer their sheep , which are driven ; be men . As soon as you shall learn that the infamous Louis Bonaparte has received his just chastisement , whatever may be the day or the hour , start from all points at once for the rendezvous agreed on between several groups , and from thence march together to the cantons , the arrondissements and prefectures , in order to confine in a circle of iron and lead , all the men who have sold themselves , and who , in taking the oath , have rendered themselves accomplices of the crimes of their master . Purge once for all France of all the brigands whom she feeds , and who devour her . Within the last four years you have learned to know them . When the day of justice shall dawnlet
, neither your hearts nor arms be weak , for your enemies , generously spared , would soon become your persecutors and your executioners . In punishing the perverse the people become the ministers of the justice of God . Let us not forget also that France is covered with the maledictions of European democracy , who expected irom our initiative its signal of deliverance . In spite of our weakness and famtmgs , the nations still raise towards us their chained hands and their eyes , in which shines a last ray of hope . Let us show ourselves worthy of the sublime mission of progress and of the future , which the whole world seems to have confided to us ; let us open to nations the path to the universal republic by the democratic and . social revolution of France .
The " moderate" Republican party , or that represented by the biecle , have not , I regret to say , taken the same determination as their more ultra-democratic brethren . It appears to them that it is their auty to oppose the government , and endeavour to overthrow it bv means of the vote , . How little in accordance with principle such a SnnS ^ ? , 181 ne ^ say , the inevitable jyilityof ^ hostility , you will readily conceive , .

Ministerial paper , the Const&iormel ^ publishes the following " communicated" note : — "The Government hai desired that the electors who are placed , from political causes , under the surveillance of the police should not' be deprived of the exercise of the elective' franchise . It has decided tha ^ at the approaching general election the electors of the class referred to shall , as well as the others , take part in the ballot . " ¦ This extraordinary instance of liberality simply means that those under surveillance will be driven to the ballot-box , to vote oui or
—It is stated that after the proclamation of the Empire Jerome Bonaparte ' s son Napoleon is to be named Viceroy of Algeria , and that Jerome himself will be created Grand Constable , while Prince Murat will be first President of the Senate .
The Gonstitutionnel has passed from the hands o $ Dr . Veron into those of M . Miers , the proprietor of the Pays , who will henceforth have two journals at his command , since the are not to be amalgamated . All the journals this morning re-produced the manifestoes published by the Moniieuf yesterday . The Orleanist and Legitimist organs are much incensed at the publicity given to the Republican proclamations . They know well enough that Louis Napoleon cannot last for ever , and they think if the Republicans can be kept silent , they may be enabled
to install one or other of the Monarchical factions in the place of the present usurper . The Assemblh National ( Legitimist ) has declined publishing until tomorrow the protest of " Henri T . " It is not to be wondered at that the Legitimist editor should have been ashamed to place side by side , the puerile ravings of M . de Chambord and the eloquent and patriotic appeals of the Republican exiles . Much is attempted to be made of the document emanating from the " Revolutionary Committee" ( which , by the bye , is said to be a forgery ) , to frighten all those who have lent support to Bonaparte . Whatever may be said of the policy at the present time of denouncing all who
have compromised themselves with the . existing tyranny , there can be no two opiuions among honest men as to their guilt , and the punishment they merit . On the subject of the manifestoes the Biecle has a stupid whine about a party ( the Cavignac one ) which " awaits not the triumph of its opinions but from the progress of civilization , the diffusion of intelligence , " &c . The death of two American statesmen , Clay and Webster , has been the occasion of a public meeting of Americans , which was held in the Boulevard Montmartre to-day . Mr . Rives , the American Minister in Paris occupied the chair . A large number of the American residents in Paris were present .
GERMANY . Austria .- —A tragedy called the " Maccabees" which was given in the Court Theatre , a few days since , contained a passage which was applied by the audience as soon as delivered to the relative positions of Austria and Russia . Judah accepts the proffered friendship , but not the protection of Rome , because the protected but too often degenerates into the slave . " Every eye was turned to one and the . same
spot . Private letters from Frame throw some little li ght upon Croatian matters . As the official reports forwarded by the provincial Government to Vienna induced people in office to suppose that the free port of Fiume was ultra-Croatian , the Emperor was somewhat surprised during his stay there to find that none but black-yellow flags were visible . Inquiries were made why the national colours were nowhere to be seen , and it appeared from the replies given that Fiume had no Croatian sympathies whatever . This led the central
Government to suppose that it haft been wilfully deceived , and people are inclined to believe that the rumour of Jellachich ' s having tendered his resignation is in some way connected with what took place at Fiume . The Ban was as wrong in supposing Fiuhie well inclined to Croatia as Government is in fancying that the Fhimese are admirers of the idea of unity and indivisibility . The truth appears to be , that the inhabitants of Fiume care as little for the black-yellow as for the Croatian flag . If they might follow their inclmations , they would rather hoist a Hungarian or Italian'flag than either .
Pa-ossiA .- * -The returns of elections to the First Chamber show that " the aristocratic party will have a better position in . this than in the Lower House . Professor Stahl , the doctrinaire and pietistic defender of aristocratic privilege , has been elected by five constituencies . On the 12 th the monster political trial which has filled the Assize-hall at Cologne for the last six weeks has been brought to a conclusion The government had come to see that tiie charge of treason which appeared m the formidable « instruction" read at the beginning of the process was untenable , and the main question was thus put to the jury - — "Ar
. e the > accused guilty of having concerted and resolved with others during Ihe years 1848 , 1849 , 1850 , arid' 1851 , the execution of ail enterprise the object of which was , in the first place , to overturn the constitution of the state ; and secondly , to arm the citizens and the inhabitants against the royal authority and against one another ?" To this question the jury answered "Yes , " as far as concerned Roeser Burgers , Nothjung , and Reiff ; but Becker , Daniels , Ehrhardt , Jacobi ' Mem , and Lessner were declared to be not guilty . Then followed tour issues in
subsidiary . the decision of which it was declared that some of the prisoners acquitted on the first count were privy to the designs of the guilty parties . Upon the completion of the verdicts thf > court ordered the released four prisoners , ? namely , Daniels , Jacob Klein , and Ehrhardt . Tee public prosecutor then demanded S ^ S ^ T-ff B TS and . Nothjung should be imprisoned for eight years , Reiff and Otto for six years , and Lessner for three years mth depnvation of civil and political rights , and condemnation in tlb costs oi the trial . The court condemned Roeser , Nothmncr , and Bur gers , to six years ; Reiff , Otto , aud Becker to five years ; aid LessnS to three years , imprisoment ; with interdiction of civil and S rights to the six first mentioned , and likewise condemned them to 7 aV by equal contribution the costs of the trial . p y

STALY . ,:: \ Rome . —The recent d ^ sembarkment ^ of . French tr oops at GWita Vecchia , may'serve ' as a measure |^ . what ye might have to expect upon , ourown shoredincase o | f hostilities with France . Two steam frigates andtaro steat ii corvette' ^ of the total power of 1 , 400 horses and 4 , 25 ft tons , co $ veye £ 3 , 5 $ p men in ' 48 ityurVfrom Toulon to Civita Vecchia , against a strong head wind . The time employed on the passage was a third longer than it would have been in favourable
weather . The vessels all anchored within the mole , and landed the soldiers without the least hurry or confusion , in about eight hours . The frigates carried 1 , 250 men each . One of the recently-arrived regiments , the 40 th of the line , took a very prominent part in the coup d ' etat of the 2 nd of December at Paris . The officers , who had been led to expect a very cordial reception for the Romans , are much disappointed at the uniform coldness with which they are treated in public places . Some of them endeavoured to enter into conversation with a group of citizens at the Cafe del Commercio the other evening , but
none of the Romans could or would understand French on the occasion , which so enraged the principal spokesman amongst the officers that he insisted on the waiters going round and enquiring of every individual whether he was or was not acquainted with the French language ? A shrug of the shoulders or a shake of the head went the whole roun < 2 . of the Romans , and the officers departed without having succeeded in breaking through the frigid reserve which for three years and a half separated the protectors from their proteges . On the 2 nd instant , about . 1 o clock p . m ., Signor Corado Politi was missed from the prisons of Ancona . This event has created great excitement in
the city , as he was a notable prisoner . Should he succeed in getting clear off , his disolosures will , no doubt , be of interest , as he was a member of , the Constituent Assembly , and a man of rare abilities He had been incarcerated above three years for his political opinions and although the judges who were charged with deciding upon his lot were finally reduced to pass a sentence of exile , still this sentence ¦ was never carried into execution , but he was kept ou from year to year rotting in prison . The authorities , not to be baulked of a victim on hearing of Politi ' s escape , sent the next day to imprison his brother ' who resides in the city of Becanati . , '
PiEDMONT .-r ^ The Opinione of Turin , of the 10 th inst . publishes a circular , addressed to the deputies by the President of the Chamber inviting them to meet in the Hall of their Sittings on the 19 th for the despatch of business . Tuscany . —The Risorgimento of the 10 th inst . quotes a letter from Florence of the 7 th , announcing that the day before the police delegates had communicated to the political refugees a Grand Ducal order enjoining them to quit Tuscany in a delay of eight days . The number
of these emigrants residing at Florence is estimated at about 800 . The correspondence of ; the Opinione of the same date states that the order would not be enforced against all the refugees , but only against the more violent . It was reported that Biho , the person arrested as the author of the attempt against M . Baldasseroni ' s life , had been restored to liberty , having proved an alibi . Numerous arrests had taken place at Florence in consequence of the discovery of a secret committee' in that city . Most of the individuals arrested were strangers to Tuscany .
