      FRANCE , TEC PRESIDEKCr . Tte _Napoleaa family brag loudly of tke certainty 0 tidroiDtin Louis being elected President . One of thera lately put an end to a negotiation for tbe _-jurcBiscof _abouw with tba _obgavaUon . « I shall sot want it ; we . shall be at tbe _Toileriee ia six neck * ! ' All the Bcnapartes . and especially Louis _jfapoJeoD , * ue _** I « ady overwhelmed with applications for places ; audi hear that promises are made with _gnca _rexktesi profuseness that , if they were to be realised , almost every post , from Prime Minister down to lamplighter , would be occupied by at least _jjjf a _dczen individuals . I am also told that Louis _Sspoleon it actually recruiting for ft sort of Imperial Gaara , to to formed , as far at possible , of old soldiers of the Empire . What he means to do with it is a

      mystery , thongh it is suspected that he calculates it will be useful when the time shall arrive to make an attempt to transform the presidential chair into an Imperial throne . On Tnursday night extraordinary military precautions were taken to prevent the _aUraupements along the _Boultyards _, which had ptevailed for teveral evenings in the neighbourhood of the Bonapart ' ut club ; That club , it appears , had removed its' local ' to a _riding-schcol at the upper end ofthe Rue Ghaussee d ' Antin . A party of the friends of M . _Blinqui forced their way into it , and produoed so much uproar and confusion that , after a lapse of an hour , the president was forced to adjourn tha club sate die . The second legion of the National Guards * XU _ nndeP anon on the _Boalevarda during tbe evening , bat no intervention oa their put took place . The great majority of representatives have pronounced in favour of Gen . _Cavaignsc . The _reprewntatwesof the Deux _Sevres . duNord _. da Pas deCalaia , and Finisterre have made a united declaration in his favour ;

      A new formed D-mocratio Association , under the Presidency of M . _Buchiz , the professed object ot which is tocambine the action of all citizens frankly and serious ? devoted to the republic , has declared in favour of Gen . Cavaignac Several delegates of the Commission do Lnxem . taurg have published a note tothe effect that they had resolved , after two meeting * , to choose Louis Blano as a candidate for the presidency of the Re _publican acknowledgment of his services to the cause of Socialism . Iu his at-Bwer , dated London the _lotkM . Louie Blanc heartily thanks them , states that in his opinion there onght to be no president , the presidency being the remains of monarchialpre-J _adices , and ta _» t every trne democrat ought henceforth to labour to obtain a revision of the constitution , especially as regards the presidency .

      i- C 0 TI 0 X CF THB _BEMOCHATB . M .

Itwas proved that M . Banube , a member ofthe club , had made _s , violent speech in _favour of Socialism and T _^ ainst Celibacy , which ha tald waa opposed to all laws human and divine . M- _Marlieut was condemned to pay a fine of _lQQf . ( £ 4 . ) He left the court crying in a lond voice— ' The Democratic and Socialist Repnblio forever .

Ltdra Rollin said : — 'May this applause , which I am aware is not bestowed on me personally , be heard threngh the whole world , that it may know that we have at heart Beriotnly the near advent of a complete reign of democTScrin the _renro of the social and democratic republic My brothers , to establish in the world the reign ofthe democratic and social republic , one mostimportant means is the anion ofthe democracy of France . By ona retrograde step in France tha fate

      ef the world will be compromised and its well-being long postponed . Would yoa have a proof ! Itis before yon . On the 2 iih February the people , in its holy enthusiasm , named a government . This government at ones issued a manifesto to Europe , and what was ita demand ? Conquest ? N * iI—the reign of fraternity ! What its language ? Itwas this , that wherever men wonld shake off their chains , France , which desired not conquest , would with her armies support the cry of * Lioerty J" Sie wished tbe force of opinion snd reason united where tho t * jo of liberty shoae above the barricades of the people to extend to them the hand of friendship , flow have we fallen now ! If we look at Spain , we see that France delivers up her exiles . The government , forgetting

      all lawsof humanity , sends back to Narraezto beehot men whose only offences are political . In Italy , wha * have we said to its _gl-rious people ? * Rue , call upon ns , and we will assist you ! ' How have we kept oar _promise !

' TheDanubian Provinces which have intimate alliance with France desire their independence ; they

      apply to France , and the government allows 80 , 00 ( 1 Russians to approach the Danube , and her ambassador cannot say * Withdraw , or wax ! * # Turning _^ to Berlin , immediately after the revolution of February , that _cify cried liberty . ' and formed a _Provirional Republican Government , when suddenly the reaction which governs France joins with the King of Prussia , who is now endeavouring to gag the parliament . My brethren , let this immense _eoneoune raise a shout which shall si j to the people of Berlin that if the government of France is against them , the people of France are with them . Responding to the pulsations of the heart of France , Vienna _, that city of aa old _anielegantarhtocracj , sees her _neoole rise and drive away their Emperor by the cry

      of Vive h liberte 1 ' The Provisional Government promised to Vienna and Germany the aid of France . Ton have at the foet of the Alps a courageous army , ready to succour Vienna .

( Thunders of applause from all sides . ) Blum , may thy great spirit be evoked by this , and may it place ia the hand of shuddering Germany a tword to extrude its despots .

The president , Courto _' is , announced tbat he and three other _clubbistsveere summoned , for the 30 th inst ., before the Court of Assies , . nnder tbe accusation of uttering anarcbial speeches . Their chief offence is said to be that one of tbem declared that if the present state of _thiags continued he would resume his old carbine . At Monday ' s meeting , » person named _Laraubier declared that _kiegs were crowned brigands and eonearning cancers , and that it was necessary to sweep away the reactionaries * .

      GERMANY . REIGN OF TERROR AT VIEHNA . TBB MUBDEB OF EOBBRT BLDH . We _annonoeed , last week , the murder of Robert Blum by _order ofthe Austrian Brigand , Win * _disebgratr . We now give some farther particular ? . _Vib-ina . Nov , 11 . —Robert Blum was all bnt secretly _sho f , yesterday morning , in the Brigitinoer meadow , jnst _ontsidetheLeopoldstadt . So secretly , in faot . was the whole affair managed—trial ,

      sentence , snd execution—that it was not till the afternoon that the report of it was spread about the town , thanks to the hints dropped , in a triumphant tone , by certain Austrian officers . It iB impossible to describe the gloom which this execution has cast over the capital . The aobdaed tone of conversation in the cafes and other plaeei of pnblio resort , the mysterious whisper , the suspicions glance , all betray the pnblio uneasiness . Arrests , frequent , numerous , and secret , are the order of tbe day . A letter from Dresden , of the 12 th , says : —

      Blum hat been shot , Tbit fearfnl _ newi reaohed us through aa rfSdal despatch lent by tke Siron Atobas . _tsdor . The _intelUgenca hat been spread _through the town , and caused the greatest indignation , A _numbsT of members of tfae Iieft of oar Saxon Diet , in conjunction with several depatl-t of our Frankfort _A-iembly at present on leave , met and prepare ! the following _proctanatlon , which wai tent forth to the people . It ii bb follows : — "An unheard-of occurrence haa taken phce . Robert Blum , the leader of the decided party of freedom ln the Frankfort Asiembly , the most faltkfol frlind of the people , bat been murdered in cold blood , iu comeqaegoa of his high-minded participation in the heroic fight ef the Yienue-e . The horror of united _Ottouwill be excited towards tbe perpetrators of this deed , which did not tpare the head of a representative of the people . The German people well know itt duty , and will declare Its own tbe children ot him whe wa- the mott honoured upholder of ita liberty . * The matter will be brought to-morrow before the _Dltt ,

      The following is supplied by a correspondent of th 9 TiiiEa : — The man thus suddenly sentenced te death , far from bit _niuti sphere of _Botion , wm certainly an extraordinary phenomenon in tbe history of the political events of thlt year . Bluet ' s father wat one of those hardy labourers whom we see oh the bsnki of the Rhine loading and unloading the cargoei of the veneli . He pitied hit earliest years at Cologne , _asihting hii father in hit rude _oocspation . What promoted him to an _employment In tbe Cologne Theatre I do not know—not any graces of body or features , for be was extremely awkward and ugly ; but he received the minor _ofSeei of cleaner of fin-pi , and , later , of box opener in that _nlayhonse ; I know a lady st _CoTegae who told me that for many _yttri Blum had

      opened tha door of ber bsc . During tbit time be spent hit few leliure moments in cultivating hit mind . I suppose tbat even reading and _writing were arte be bad yet to learn , for be wai born long before Cologne came under Prussian dominfoo , and the Archbtihopi Electors of Cologne were not _famoni for the care they bestowed upon general tuition . At leiptlc , where he bad the tame of & _se at the theatre , and , later , that of ticket-seller , he began to _inereua his income by writing small essay * . Tbey were much read , aud brought Mm Into immediate contact with the _numbsrleii liUeraten , at tbey ara ealled , or autbon , who live at Leiptic , at the centre of tbe gigantic bookselling trade of Germany , From the attention he gave to tbe purs idiom at spoken on tbe stage , he loit the vulgarity of bit native Cologne dialeot , and

      this , _ad

      opera tick-ta . He married into a Leiprio family , tettltd as _b-okseller , and waited far the events to come . The events did come in March of this year . He was the In * defat ' gable agitator from tbat moment . Oae afternoon , wben tha people of _LsSpiic , who without dreading tha _troopt that were tent to surround tbe city on all aidei , despatched petition ! and _deputations to Dresden , were _aisembledln a large _iquiro of tbe city , Robert Blnm appeared * wfta a Biyal reply fa bfs bind , Se entered a _houit and began to read it aloud to the waiting populace from abilcony on the second floor , at tbe evening drew ob . A few liaes were read ef tbe King ' s proclamation , bat evidently with _terne difficulty , and Blum laid' _Gentlemen , you mnst excuse my reading indlitiactly ; jou know it it so very dark up on high . ' Hli ttentoxlike voice and the precision of bis manner rendered him a very _popolarTice President in the ftmoas Torparla menfc at Frankfort in the last day * of March , Bad fail election at _Leiptio was almott unanimous '

      In tht German Parliament he wat considered by tbe Conservative ! at one of ths most dangerous leader-, principally on account of the geatle tread with which he surehed onward-i He , the carrier * ! ton , knew wbat it wat not to get into a fait . He wit tent wltb f _tnr others to represent the lympathiei of the 129 who form the Btdlcal party to the ' generous people' ef Vienna , snd here his usual caution deserted him . All reports say , that his _speeehss were , withont _ezcep' -loB , ef tha wildeit Jacobinical charaoter . Having stood prominent as a leader after the proclamation ef Prince Windiicbgrafz , it tpp-ara tbat he wat the _firtt itntenced to death . The Brussels paper , the _Ihdkpbndskcis , say « : —

      M . Blum , by hastening to Vienna on the first newt of the revolt , by eidtfug the people to resltttuoe by hit speeches , and by taking np arms , abdicated kis cba > ricter of Deputy .

      :. ' " _exciriuBKrwSAX 05 T , < _^ _LtTPiio _, Nov . 14 . —On the receipt of the news of the execution of Blum , a * popular meeting was held inthe church of St Thomas . M . _Albreoht related the great loss the German people had experienced by his death , and the following resolutions were paned : — A funeral _eersuony shall be prepared , at which all bis friends shall attend ai mourners , the 9 th of November to be kept each year ti a dty of mourning ; the corpie of Blum to be demanded the Sana Envoy in _Auttria to be brought to trial ; the Austrian Envoy at D-eidtn to have hli pai-port tent him j the Saxon _dtputiis In the Frankfort National Alterably to be _ctlUd tn to withdraw ; and the family of Blnm shall be eupported by the state ,

      After the meeting was over , the people tore down and broke to pieces the urns of the Austrian Consulate . \ At Dresden , on the 13 th , the caw of Blam was brought before the second chamber bv Tschirner , who asked ministers what hadbeen done in the matter . The minister Von Pfordten replied , that when the Saxon government learnt the state of things in Vienna , instructions were sent to the Saxon embassy there to afford the neoessary protection to all

      subjects of that kingdom * When it became known that Blnm had been taken prisoner , instructions •* . ere sent on the 8 th inst . to' protect him from farther prosecution , by virtue ol hit being a native of Saxony . Before these instructions reaohed Vienna he had been shot . - The government had sinoe written to their envoy at Vienna to demand all Blum ' a _( _ScctSt and to see tbat the necessary ceremony for his interment Bhould be attended to ; and further to demand that all the necessary documents concerning the condemnation of Blam be sent to the go-, _vernmebt at Dresden .

      Tschirner then moved that the Saxon ambassador at Vienna be requested to render a fall account of his conduot , and that the Central Power be called upon to take _energetio steps to obtain an atonement for the injury inflicted on the honour of Germany by thel ' _mnrder of Blam . This motion was adopted , 'and was subsequently taken up and passed in the first Chamber . Frodal , the companion of Blnm . arrived at Dresden on the llth inst .

      srrnNG oi » ths _mtio-ux ; _ass-bibst . _FRAWtfoaT , Nov . 16 . —M . Kirohgessuer , reporter of tbe committee on Austrian affairs , presented a report on the motive of M . Simon ( of Treves ) , touching the arrest and execution of M . Robert Blam . The committee proposed unanimously the following resolution : — The National _Asse-obl y _, in protesting iu the . faoe of all _Qermiay _tgsmit the arrest and execution of Robert Blam , whioh hai been perpetrated ia contempt of tbe lawt of the empire , of Sept . 80 lait , lummoh the ministry ofthe empire to tike the mott energetic measures to bring' to trial and punish the persons who are , directly or indirectl y , implicated b the laid crime . This proposition waa discussed by the Assembly , unanimously adopted , and deolared to be urgent . M . Nanwerckthen presented as .. urgent the following resolutions : —

      1 . The ministry ofthe empire shall order the Praistan government to render sh account of IIS GQQdaCt in di | . solving tho Burgher Gawd of Berlin , and declaring that city la a state of siege . 2 . The legal right of the _PruMltn people , and particularly of the Constituent Alterably of Prussia , are plaoed under tbe protection ef the empire ; S . A _commiiilon of the empire shall be sent immediately to _B-rlin to carry Into execution theso reso . _lnttons . _Theta resolutions were unanimously agreed to , and the oommiision was ordered to set off immediately , which they did . Letters from Vienna of _theilfith sneak of growine

      discontent aad opposition in the minds of most of the inhabitants , even amongst many who were formerly staunch friends of the government The proclamation issued , admonishing the people to abstain from inflkmmato ' ry discourses , and calling upon the well meaning to unite in defeating the ruinous plans of the agitators , had little effect ; the people still think the only way of settling their difference is by the edge ot the sword , and that barricades are the most natural means of remonstrance . At leait a third of the weapons taken from the arsenal are still in the _haads of the people , and when the general disarmament was _ptoc ' aimed , in spite of & rigorous search the suburbs contributed little .

      The news of the late events at Berlin produced a profound sensation in Vienna . The Berlin papers were read aloud in all the coffee houses . Crowds thronged roand the readers , interrupting them by exclamations indicative of their disgust or approbation . The King ' s proclamations were received with shouts of derision . The people , thongh tongue-tied on the subject of their own . affairs , thought themselves justified in giving full vent to their feelings in the case of a foreign stato . Itwas ef Vienna that people thought : they cheered their own party , and _m jeering the King of Prussia they _thoaght of their own Emperor . immeuw military preparations are being made to crush the Hungarians . Aigner , the leader of the Academic Legion , has been saved by _Doblhoff , this yohng man having saved bim when the people would have slain him on the 13 th Septem -e * , in the borara-of the minister .

      MtJBDKR OF _GeSERIL _MUSBNHAUSSK BT THl | RoY 4 L Savages—Ie wis stated in oar last that Meg-enkanser , the late Commander of _Vieana , was shot at the iame time that Blum was butchered . This was incorrect , but we did but anticipate the murder of Heiseahaaser , as the following , from the conespondenee of the _Timta . will show : —> Vishha , Nov . 16—TheexecutienofthelateCommander of Vienna during the siege took place this morning . I wrote yon yesterday that _Messenhanter had been sentenced to death by hanging ; the sentenoe was changed at a late hoar last night , and the unfortunate man died a soldier ' s death . This commutation of the manner of the - execution was

      all which the frequent and urgent intercessions of _Messenhauser ' _s numerous friends and relations oould obtain from Prince Windischgralz . who has not even granted a respite to wait for the Emperor ' s _decisios on a petition to pardon the offender , whiob , with a deputation fron ) the Municipal Council , was forwarded to Olmntz by special train at a late hour yesterday evening . Messenhauser was a man ' of high charaoter , and his military talent rose coniide . rably above the common level . Besides tbis important execution , the extreme penalty of the law was inflicted yesterday on one member of the National Guard and two soldiers , for the part they took iu the insurrection .

      SEcasr xxECDTioirs ! - Welden , the new governor , has Introduced the horrid system of secret executions . On the morning of the 17 th , an old man was executed in the city ditch ; who he was could not , however , be ascertained , ss no spectators were allowed to approachi Some said the prisoner wns Dr .

Late last night , the mumoipal authorities of that town oame to a resolution to abide by the decision of the National Assembly with referenoe to the non-payment of the taxes . This

      decision when annonnoed to the eager multitude as . sembled in front of the Town Hall , was reoeived with enthusiastic applause . -. The board of aldermen at _Breslan have already declared tbat they will not for * ward to the _rojal treasury any taxes or imposts , but keep the funds in sale custody until the differences between the throne and the National _A-sembly are removed . In nearly all the towns on the line of railway in Silesia similar demonstrations have been made .

      The * permanent committee ' of the civio _authorities at _Breslaa have taken possession of 2 , 040 stand of arms ( the property of a private contraotor of this town ) on the ground that they had reason to apprehend that those guns might bs employed for purposes hostile to the _peoples Bbbun .

Shaw , aged five months . The body had been buried , but was exhumed by order of the coroner , who said be had called the jury together under , circumstances of a most peculiar character , aiid ' aUhough there could be no doubt about ' the death of the child arising from natural causes , still he had felt bound to bave an . inquiry into the case . The child , with his father and five other children , was admitted

      into the workhouse on the 3 lst of October . It remained in Ihe workhouse for twelve days under medical treatment , died on the 12 th of November , and was buried , and it was not until after the burial that the father , though living . under the same roof , even knew of the child having been ill . the father , feeling a suspicion that his child had been improperly treated , wrote to the coroner , who felt that he should not be performing his duty if he did not grant the man ' s request and hold an inquest . S . Shaw , the father of the child , stated that the last time he saw any of his children was on the day he entered the workhouse . The deceased child was

      hen in good health , and was taken , he understood , to the isfaut ward . He never saw ot heard of it again uatil Tuesday last , when he heard it was buried . — -Francis Waring , a nurse io the infant ward , said she attended to the deceased child . It was ill from the 1 st of November till the 12 th , when it died . The child was seen every other day by Mr Robinson , and by his order had arrow-root and milk and bread and milk , but it could not swallow—The Coroner said that in all cases like the present he always considered it best to bave a gentleman entirely unconnected with the workhouse to make examinations , and had selected Dr Quain to do so . — Dr Quain said he had made a post-mortem

      examination . The child was extremely emaciated , and much wasted away . The cause of death was ulceration of the bowels , when he should think had existed move than twelve days . There were no traces of food in the stomach . —Heaton , the master of the workhouse , said that it was so seldom the ; had a father in the house with a family of children , without the mother , that such a thing might occur as what bad inthe present instance '; It the father knew the child was ill when it came in , he ought to have made an application tn see it . He ( Heaton ) attended in his office every morning from half-past eight to nine for the purpose of hearing applications from the paupers . — Coroner ; The man did not know the child vias ill ,

      and it seems extraordinary that Silvester bhaw is received into the workhouse with six children , and there is no one to tell him that one of his children is ill untii after it is carried to the churchyard . — Shaw said , with respect to the ether children , he believed them to be in different parts of the building , but he could not see them . Last Wednesday week he tried to see the master for the purpose of making an application to see his children but was repulsed , by a roan named Riley . — -Heaton said the father should see the children at any time if he made the application . —The jury , in returning a verdict of 'Natural Death , ' suggested that a printed copy of the _rul-38 and regulations should be hung up in every ward .

      Thb Poor in St Pancras . —At a meeting of the board of directors held on Tuesday , to inquire into charges made at an inquest as to the death of a child , whose father , it was said , had not been informed of its illness until after the child ' s burial , itwas resolved : — -Tbat the board views with much regret the circumstance that the master of - the workhouse should have neglected to have informed Sylvester Shaw of the death of his son ; and that in all cases of death in the -workhouse the master be requested immediately to inform the nearest relative of the deceased thereof , and that this decision ofthe board be read to tbe master . '

He was a lunatic , and had been for some time in Marylebone workhouse .

      When sensible he complained very much of the bad treatment he received in the workhouse , and showed marks of injury he had received there . Other witnesses deposed to the deceased having complained of ill-treatment while at the workhouse , — -J . Brown , who had known tbe deceased , proved that he had been refused at Bedlam as being incurable .. He was very violent , and not only had they been obliged to put him in a strait-jacket , but to strap him down to the bed . That would account for the sores on

      his body . Did not believe that he had received any ill-treatment in the workhouse . On the contrary , he believed he was most humanely treated . —Mr Heaton , a _s urgebri , who had made a post rhortem examination ofthe body , proved tbat the cause of death was inflammation of the brain .-Verdict , ' Died of disease ofthe brain .

Payne , the City corroner , instituted an inquiry before a jury of merchants , at the Old England coffee-house , Threadoeedle Street , into the origin of the fire which , on Friday last , occurred in the reading-room at Lloyd ' s . From the evidenee it appeared that & t > tove at the extreme snd of Lloyd ' s reading-room had been fitted into the space of the window , and an iron belt or stay which held what is termed the fire lamp of the stove to the main brick-work passed so close to the woodwork of the windows as to fire it . The jury found that the fire arose from want of due precaution in fixing the stove , aod recommended the committee of Lloyd ' s to institute an investigation as to the plan adopted in setting tbe stoves throughout the building .

It appeared that oh the-pre * vious _nif-bti between eleven and twelve o ' clock , the * woman and her husband were heard to quarrel in thfl kitchen , where they had been sitting . Shortly af _> towards th- _> husband was heard to threaten to

      murder her , ana heavy blows were distinctly heard , accompanied by the cries of ' murder . ' The parties in the house became alarmed , and sent for the wife ' s brother , Mr White , residing in the neighbourhoods who attended , and endeavoured to fore- open thfl kitchen deor ; the husband , however , prevented his doing bo , when he went to the back of the house and forced his way into the kitchen , and on entering it the husband was standing calmly looking on , but with no weapon in his hand , when the first thing he said was . 'You had better give me into custody ? The room was in the utmost confusion , and oil looking under the table , White found his sister : lyinz in a state of insensibility , bleeding profusely

      from a wound in the right temple and from _otuec parts of her head , In tbe meantime the front doot was opened , and further assistance obtained , and one of the police constables of the S division wai called in , who took the husband into custody , and C onveyed him to the station . Owing to the insensibility of the wife , nothing can be gleaned as ta what had passed between them . As soon as the husband was given into custody , Mr Crisp , surgeon of Walwortb , attended , and had the unfortunate woman removed from the kitchen to the up-atairs bed-room , where the wounds were dressed , The ? husband was examined at Lambeth police-office and remanded .

Both were obviously those of young perions ; and , as the garden is in the neighbourhood in whioh _Hred the notorious Bishop and William * , who were executed fer the murder of an Italian boy , the _goaiips of that locality at once came to the conclusion that they were the remains ofsome unknown viotirns of those _mnrderetB .

      of the deepest dye . You robbed a soldier of the Frenoh National Guard , a stranger in this country , who , in the generous warmth of the moment on meeting a fellow soldier , invited yoa to drink . Ia robbing him you oommitted an act whioh not only stamped your own name with infamy , bat compromised the oharaoter of the whole British army ; ~ for thlt Soldier , on Ilia return to his country , _bevoo-i aU doubt , published through the ranks of the ; Frenob army that he had been robbed in England , and that the robbery bad been perpetrated by a soldier of tha Queen of England ' s Guards . * What atonement oan yoa make for the stain thus cast on the character of the soldiery of Eagland ? What atonement for having outraged the feelings of every good soldier in the army ? _Nsne . The sacrifice of your miserable existence would not redeem the deed . The only

      consolation left ns is , that you will ne longer be suffered to disgrace our ranks ; and I trust that aa the knowledge of yonr orime has baen spread far and wide , so the fact that we have expelled you , and thus done all that lies in our power to punish jou , and to redeem our fair fame , will become as extensively known to the world . I have the command of his Grace the Commander-in-Chief to dismiss yoa as utterly unworthy of serving in the British army ; and hia Grace desires me at the same time to express to , tbe regiment his regret that , inconsequence of your having been already tried by the oivll authorities for your offenoe , it is not in bis power to bring you to a Oourt Martial , ia order that you might have been drummed oat of the regiment , and disgraced with all the ignominy which the rules of tbe service permit , ' At the _c-nelusion of this address White was marohed out of the preoinots ofthe barracks .
