IiEDRU _ROLMNJMJ THE _ AMNESTY . _AxEXTERhas been published by M . _LedruEollin , who gives a rather remarkable reason for the silence he had observed in respect to the recent French amnesty , namely , that it does not include himself , The amnesty , it seems , would have been applicable to him if he simply remained in this country as , one of the exiles of the revolution of 1848 ; but , like Mazzini , he stands condemned by default on the charge of plotting against the life of the Emperor , and on that account would be amenable to the law if he returned to Paris , He says : —It is even only by dint of the . most forced , the most : outrageously _impudentjrf all imaginable political fictions , that such an offence was raised in the scale of penalties to the height of parricide . _TThe man of the 2 nd of £ e fin _? tlia ? _^ _denortafion 3 tlt _^ _eS pun _£ nm _™ nt _1 n' _fgjed * on _^ nfe _??^^ a _penalt _y I _^ us _^ ve _^ _micai Therefore , accusation and p _/ nalty clearl / _chWcter- _ismg the offence , such a enme , in supposing it had « ver existed in substance , never was , never could be , anything else but a political crime .

The work is admirably conceived and executed , at once securing the sympathies of the reader in behalf of this highly gifted , but strangely unfortunate scion of royalty . Placed at an early a _<* e under the immediate tuition of Madame de _Soubise , a woman of powerful intellect , and _unim-^ achable _moSls , and who , moreover , was endowed _™* _f _Uvely sense of the ' responsibility thus im-P , ed _^ on he V _^ Pl 7 1 CCSS _^ _XZ _M * ° bave _Possessed advantages _aboves those _enjpyed by most of her contemporaries . Deprived by a premature death of both her royal parents , she grew up under the superintendence of her admirable preceptress to be the boast and ornament of the Parisian couvt . Many were tho eulogiums upon her wit , eloquence , and superior mental aLinmeuts ! But Intellectual and _^ ug h-minded as she was , she could not escape the penalty of bem ? born a princess of tho . blood royal ; and on _Su" 3 ay , the 28 th of Juno , 1528 , she was given in marriage by her wily and political brother-in-law , Francis L , to Ercole _^ _d'Este , eldest son _ofAlfopso , Duke of Ferrara .
