      jary is false , but only that it does not constitute a crime or offence , or that , it does not call for the punislimeut demanded by the Procureur-General . The advocates who bad been officiall y named for the prisoners intimated that they left the matter to the judgment of the Court . The President then severally called on the accused most of whom merely rose and reseated themselves without speaking . When , however , he called the name of Leboo , the accused , wilh great excitement , exclaimed— -You want me to speak in mitigation of punishment , but I do not think that during the trial I have made any attempt to extenuate the charges against me . Your enemies are in your hands—strike them severely , in order that some

      day—The President : Accused , do not aggravate your position . Sit down , I forbid you to speak . Paya said , I have nothing to say . I did not plead on the merits , and consequently the truth is not known to you . I take advantage of this oppor . tunity to declare that in refusing to defend myself I acted on no suggestion , but of ray own free will . Maigne exclaimed , that any punishment would be pleasing which would render testimony to theright of the people , and serve as a protest which would protect tbe honour of France , their beloved mother . It is / or you to see to what point you will descend in the path ot iniquity , in which a prevaricating

      government-President . —Prisoner , hold your tongue . —Maigne sat down without completing the sentence . Laraaziere—I hope the 36 men who are opposite us-President . —Be silent . I will not allow you to speak in that manner . Lamaziere continued to speak , in spite of the injunctions of the President , and the gendarmes were compelled to make him sit down by force . Deville . —Men like me always accept a condemnation . Their life and their liberty are always at the service of their country , they are always ready to sacrifice them for her . They do not demand the price of their devotedness .

      Fraboulet said , with great emphasis . History will know the truth of this master . 'Vive la Republique Demoer&tique et Soclale !' The Cuurfc then retired to deliberate . After about an hour it returned , and delivered its judgment , condemning Chipron , Andre , Dufelix Lebon , Langlois , Pays , Commissaire , Maigue , Fargin , Fayslle , Pilhes Daniel Lararoiere , Rach Vauthier , Deville , Gambon , Guinard andSchraitz to transportation for life ; and Suchet , Manbe , and Fraboulet de Chalandar , to five jears imprisonment ; and the whole of the prisoners , conjointly and separately , to the expenses of the prosecution , fixing the imprisonment , in default of payment , to two years .

      On hearing their sentence all the prisoners rose and cried , Five la BepuUique Democratique e ( Sockk ? ' * President : Take tbe prisoners back to their renms . Lamaziere exclaimed , in a trembling voice , ss he was leaving the court , As for the judges , may the infamy sit lightly on them . ' On leaving the court they all made a farewell sign of adieu to their friends .

      BELGIUM . Opening cf the Chambers . —The Belgian Chambers were opened on the 13 th iast . by the king in person . It was stated in the speech from the throne that the country presented a very favourable aspect ; that its tranquillity was a proof of its excellent spirit and of the existence of good institutions ; that it possessed the confidence and sympathy of foreign nations , and that tbe harvest this year was a very abundant one , rendering provisions cheap , and at the same time increasing the exports of agricultural produce . The king then proceeded to declare that

      public attention was greatly directed to the progress of agriculture ; that the tfforls of his government public bodies , and private individuals in that respect cannot fail to produce bentficial results ; that the progress of manufacture was , on . the whole , satisfactory , ihe exports to distaut markets gradually increasing ; that the sufferings of the population of Flanders were mitigated ; that' the new postal system had hitherto worked well , and that other postal convent ' ons were on the point of being coucluded . His majesty then announced bills for the

      improvement of the system of public education at the ex pense of the state ; for the amendment of the penal code ; for the abolition of the puuishment of branding on the body ; for the total abrogation after the 1 st of January next , of the contract between the government and the great banking establishment , the Societe Generate ; for the further organisation of savings banks and country bai . ks of credit ( without mortgage ;) for the revision at the mortgage syitea ; and for the creation of establishments for providing funds for aged operatives ! &c , &c ,

      The itnke amongst the factory operatives at Ghent for higher wages and a diminution in the hours of labour still continues , and is spreading no slight alarm in that large city . Inflamm atory circulars' are distributed amongst the working classes , and much exasperation prevails . Tie arrests continue .

      SWITZERLAND . The' Tic ' mo Gazstte' announces that Mazzini , the ex-triumvir of Rome , haa been expelled from tbe Canton of Vaud by order of the Director of the Federal and Cantonal Police , in virtue of the decree issued by the Diet against M . Mazzini , in 1833 .

      ITALY . Naples . —The policy of the king and his immediate advisers has not changed , and eviry day adds to the number of political prisoners . Even those attached by interest to existing governments do not approve of this universal system of oppression , since it throws the king more than ever into the hands of the army . Baron Baracca , the richest man in Calabria , has been arrested in Naples . A party of armed police surrounded the house , whilst others searched every hole and corner of the buildfor papers and letters .

      The Jesuits , who now reign triumphant in Naples , have begun their -war against education . By a decree of the 27 th x&t ., whoever is engaged in puttie or private instruction , must appear before a council to be interrogated on the Catechism of the Christian doctrine , ' and can only exercise their office by permission , which simply means that the Jesuits are to dictate what is to us taught to the youth of Naples , whilst the civil law will punish any deviation from their orders Thus it will be seen , at a moment when other religious orders are trying to elevate Christianity , the Jesuit ? , as of old , would debase it . Thtse are the friends of Ferdinand II .

      SPAIN . Letters from Madrid of the 7 th state that at the sitting of the Cortes of the previous evening M . Olozaga declared that if ihe government persisted in its acts of gross illegality , he should ha forced to resign Irs place as deputy , to avoid a repetition of the persecutions he had already been the victim of . The printing-office of the 'Clamor Publico' had been forced open by orders of M . Saragdssa . tbe Political Chief , and the types scattered . The emigres of the Palace implicated in thelate crisis had reappeared in Madrid , and the King ' s Secretary , M . Rodon , was also expected in the capital .

      GERMANY . TheMarttr Robert Blum . —The anniversary of the execution of Robert Blum was solemnised at Berlin , Culonge , and in various other places on th-8 th inst Ib nearl y every instance the police broke m upon aud dispersed the assemblagrs . The following is from the'Times , ' containing tie usual \ Times' sneer :- « The Kolner Zeitung' of the 11 th rnst states that a large meeting of Radicals assem-Wed in the Villa Colonna on the 8 th inst ., to celebratethe anniversary of the execution efM .

Another meeting was held inthe Krausen-strasse . It was dispersed , ana the police attempted to arrest a mau who distinguished himself by aa enormous red ccckade ; but the individual in question was rescued by his fnends , who fought the police in the room and m the street .

      FRANCE . The itfoniteur' publishes a decree of the President of the Republic , appointing M . Carlier , the present Chief of the Municipal Police , Prefect of Police of Pans , in the place of Colonel Rehillot , who nas been promoted to the rank of General of Bngsde . The new Prefect has pu . blisb . td foe following infa&Mras proclamation : — 1 Inhabitants of Paris . —The high confidedence of the President of the Republic has just called me to the pest of prefect of police . It will be for me an eternal honour to have been considered worthy of seconding in those delicate functions the great and

      straightforward policy inaugurated by the acts and declarations of the head of the state . I am about to demand from my fellow-citizens their co-operation aud support , in promising them my zeal and energy . Peaceable men of all classes can only see in me a friend ; I am , and always shall be , I do not say ihe enemy , but the eourageons and indefatigable adversary of pjrturbators , both chiefs and instruments . Protection to religion , to labour , and to fasaiiy ties , to property , to good , institutions , to repenias . ee even ; vi gi-ance and rigour towards socialism , immoralit y , disorder , improper publications , an > l the obstinacy of the factious ' . Such will be the rule o ! my conduct . —National guards , heads of

      manufacturing and industrial establishments , fathers of families , tradesmen , workmen , assist me in the accomplishment of my mission ; it belongs to tbe initiative of good citizens to facilitate tbe action of the laws and of the authority ; the internal discipline of faniiiks anu workshops is the most powerful auxiliary of the police of the state ; onr cause is the same ; JOUfwish for a protective government ; we wish far enli g htened liberty ; moderation fonnded on force will , doubtless , daunt bad passions . The mcst irying days are passed ; but we must not slumber on a first success ; nothing has been done

      whiie there yet remains anything to do for order and security . Inhabitants of Paris , the question now is to form a league against socialism ; that is the cause of every interest . Let us revive private confidence by restoring public security 1 st us secure the future welfare of all by the stability of institutions faithfully respected , but firmly applied ; it is between us al ! a mutual assurance ; we have therefore a right to rely on each other . You may rely on me . ( Signed ) Carmek . Seen and approved by the Minister of the Interior . ( Signed ) ? . Barrot .

      Paris , Suxdat . —It ieems that the effective of the French army during 1 S 19 was 454 , 000 men , in lieu of the 380 . 000 set down in the estimate . It is nor explained why the late war minister , General RuHiieres , even with the excess of the Roman expedition . , could have exceeded his estimate by 74 , 000 men , a pretiy army in ilself . Heneral Hautpoul promises to reduce 40 . 000 to 400 , 000 men . Whilst the new war minister is thus pacific , M . Ferdinand Barrot , the naw Home Minister , is decidedly warlike . The enemy , however , against whom he is about to entreren campanile is not Russia or Rome .

      The Socialists are M . Barrot ' s foes , and he proposes to increase the gendarmerie mobile to combat them . IIogtjes All . —M , Ferdinand Barret is , however , a modest man ; so modest , that when the ministerial change wa 3 in progress , which was to oust his brother Odillon , and make him , Ferdinand , minister in his place , Ferdinand said not one word on the subject to Odillon , who learned the ministerial revolution from a stranger . Odillon Barrot had spent his life in befriending his brother Ferdinand . Will the latter be more true to Louis Napoleon than fce has been to his benefactor and brother ?

      • The Friends of Order . '— The 'Moniteur ' publishes tbe report of the three arbitrators appointed to " require into the extent of tbe losses sus . tained by the two printers of the anarchical journals , Messrs . Proux and Boule , whose establishments were forcibly entered b y tbe National Guard * and troops on the 13 th of June last . The damage done to the proprietors of the 'Democratic Pacifique' is estimated at 4 . 812 f . 50 c ; the damage suffered b y M .

      The Veterinary School of Lyons , which wa = closed after the insurrection of June last , has been again opened ; 150 pupils have been admitted but they are no longer allowed to wear an uniform or sword . At a meeting of the edit 6 rs of the Paris newspapers held MM . Lubis Duras , Eraiiie de Gerardin . Boilev , and Chaiard were elected Syndics . A letter from Montpellier of tbe 9 th inst . states that a duel had just taken place between M . Felix Dupin , editor of the ' Independent , ' a Red Repub . lican journal , and M . Marcel , editor of the' Echo du Midi . ' M . Dupin having received a ball in the breast , the seconds put an end to the combat .

      T ; . e Pupil 3 of the Ecole des Arts et Metiers at Angers , who revolted some time since , were tried b y the Asaize Court of that town on the 9 th inst . They were acquitted with the exception of two , who were sentenced to imprisonment for two years . A search for fire-arms -was made by the police on Monday last in Paris at the residence of M . Herve , one of the Editors of the ' "V oix du People . ' None , however , were dkcsvtred . Paris , Tuesday . —Last evening after post hour governmf at made two important communications to the Assembly , through the organ of M . Ferdinand Barrot . who rose to state that the President of the Bepnhlic , using his incontestible ri ght , had ordered the pardon of the greater part of the insurgents imprisoned at Delleisle . 700 ont of 1 , 200 prisoners are included in this measure of pardon .

      THB MOCK TRIAL OF THE PROSCRIBED KEPDBLICAXS . The state trials at Versailles rare brought to a conclusion on Monday . The counsel for the prisoners persevered in their refusal to plead , not being allowed by the Court to p lead the violation of the Constitution . The additional counsel named by the Court declared they could not perform that duty , as the prisoners had refused to accept their assistance . The president then charged the jury , who retired at half-past two o ' clock .

      Paris Tuesday . —The ! jury passed the afternoon of Monday and all the night in deliberation . Many of the spectators , among whom were several ladies , fearing to lose their seats , remained in the court all night , or cnlv quitted it for a short time , Outside the co rt large crowds were assembled during the whole cf ihe night . —At a quarter-past seven the ringing cf the bell of the jury room announced that tie High Jury were ready to give their verdict . The female relatives of the prisoners were not sllowed to remain in court . —The judges having taken their seats the jury entered the box . —The President warned the public that any mark of approbation or disapprobation would be severely checked . He then called on the foreman of the jury ta make known tha verd ct .

      The foreman then read the decisions of the jury on the eighty-eight questions which , had been submitted to them . They were in the negative as regarded Maillard , Caune , Bureaux , London , Aehintre , Delahaye , Merliot , "Vernon , Aogelot , Lemalire , and Forestier . On tbe question of conspiracy to destroy or change the government , and to excite civil war by arming one citizen against another , the reply \ ra ? affirmative as regards Andre , Langlois , Paya , and Schmitz . On the question ot attempt to destroy

      the Government and to excite to civil war by " arming citizens against each other , the reply was affirmative with regard to Lebon , Commissaire , Suchet , Maigne , " Vanthier , Lamaziere , Gurnard , Manbe , nnd Iraboulef . Extenuating circumstances were only found in the cases of Sachet , Maube , and Fraboule ? , and the reply of the jury was affirmative on al the questions of conspiracy and attentat as fer as concerned Chipron , Dufelix , Fargin Fayolle , Pilhes , Boch , Daville , and Gambcn .

      The prisoners , ia favour of whom tbe verdict of acquittal bad been given , were then brought into court , and ordered by ths President to be set at liberty if no other cause of detention remained against them . The prisoners retired without making any remark . The remainder of tbe prisoners were then brought in , and the decision of the jury read over to them . It was listened to with attention by them all , Fraboulet alone making a gesture of disdain on learning that extenuating circumstances had been found in bis favour . The Procureur General , M . Baroche , then rose and called for the judgment of the Court on the

      draw his claim for the extradition of his subjects who were implicated in the Hungarian rebellion . I am at present enabled to inform you that the matter ib definitely concluded , the Porte having pledged itself to keep in safe custody , in one or more of the Turkish fortresses , all those refugees whose names may be mentioned by the Russian and Austrian governments , and immediately to banish the others probably with the exception of those who may in the meantime have embraced the Mahometan relig ion—from the Turkish territories . Of course , this perfec tly authentic news completely confutes all the ridiculous reports , according to which Kossuth and some of his colleagues are already on their way to join Messrs . Pulsky and Teleky in England . — Times .

      Vienna , Nov . 6 . —We are furnished from official sources with some further details concerning the mission of General Hauslab to "Widden , its termination arid present result . You are already aware that the Austrian envoy arrived on the 12 th in Widdin , where he was received in the usual oriental style by Zia Pasha . Oh the 16 th a proclamation ap pearedon the walls of the Austrian Consulate , which promised a free pardon to the common soldiers under condition of-enlistment in tbe Austrian army . The officers who returned were not only to be enrolled as p rivates in the imperial service , but to be tried by court-martial . Under these circumstances

      it is strange that with so many samples before their eyes of the ruthless fate awarded to those of their comrades who surrendered unconditionally no less than sixty officers should have given themselves up to the Austrian government . In vain the chiefs of the Hungarian rebellion , Bern ; now Murad Pasha , and Guyon , strove by the most emphatic warnings to divert these infatuated men from the blind step . They , with 3 , 111 men , embarked on the evening of the 21 st on board the steamers Magyar and Mercury , and six towed vessels , under the auspices of Genera ) Hauslab , for Orsova . The account of this matter in tbe « Wiener Zeitung' does not scruple to charge

      Bern , Guyon , and the rest ef the rebel chiefs with the design of making an attempt on tbe person of General Hauslab , who was providentially saved from their machinations by the timely arrival of the Austrian steamer Ludwig . - Equally probable is the statement that Murad Pasha issued a proclamation making brilliant offers to all who would embrace Islamism . Guyon , who had left Widdin for Conttantinople long before , is represented , with others , as having hissed the aged consul and torn down the proclamation ; but a troop of gipsies appearing , put the . rioters to flight . The next day , Gen . Hanslab having preferred a complaint to the Turkish

      authorities against Guyon , that officer was conducted ' notwithstanding the heavy rain , ' under a strong Turkish escort , away towards Constantinople . All the Magyar , Italian , and Polish subjects of Austria having embarked in spite of the attempts , Eupported by tbeTurkisli population , to detain themj there remained behind some 700 men chiefly Russian subjects . Such is th 6 official accounts ; evidently full of lies . Letters of the 1 st , from Semlin , add that the rest of the Italian legion , who were not Austrian subjects , had refused any longer to serve under Bern , at whose apostaey they were greath scandalised , and

      are gone to Gallipoli , from whence . they will be conveyed by sea to Genoa . ' Kossuth and the other chiefs were still in the citadel of the fortress of Widdin , strictly guarded . The truth is , that the departure of Guyon for Constantinople and of the Italians for Gillipoli , was simply in consequence of the English and Sardinian ministers having applied to the Porte for their ,, delivery ; and neither Ottoman consideration for the aggrieved dignity of Gen . Hauslab on the one hand , nor the horror inspired by Bern ' s turban on the other , are at all necessary to account for the retirement of the Englishman and Piedmontesrfrom Widdin .

      The 150 Hungarian hussars who fled to England , and were from there sent to Turkey , have not been permitted to land at Constantinople . Being in uniform , and without military passeB , they were considevcu as deserters . ' Letters from Scheranitz state that one of the officers of the garrison of Comorn has lately been executed in the city of Schemnitz , in direct violation of the terms of General Klapka ' s capitulation . Since January , no Ies 3 than 1 , G 19 sentences have been pronounced by the court-martial silting at Vienna .

      The Wiener Zeitung' contains an ordinance of the Minister of Justice , Schmerlin , completely re-organising the judicial system of Hungary , which is assimilated to that already promulgated for the other dominions of the crown . One of tbe main features of this plan is to place the nomination of the judges , who were heretofore elected for a term by the counties and towns in the hands of the crown , b y whom they are to be appointed for life . The military commander of Peslh and Buda has

      published a proclamation , enjoining the shopkeepers of the two cities to remove any tri-coloured ornament that may be found in or around their shops , and to alter the Hungarian legend on iheir signboards so as to give it a German translation . Those who refuse obeying this order are to be fined in the first instance . The same proclamation all but forbids tbe use of the Hungarian language , because ' it is spoken by the disaffected and rebellious . '

      The finances of Vienna are in a most sorry condition ; for the year 1850 , its revenue is estimated at 761 , 489 florins , and its probable expenditure al 1 , 715 , 702 florins , leaving a deScit of no less than 954 . 213 florins . An ordinance of the military government at Pesth has given the inhabitants an opportunity of exhibiting their feelings in a shape which has covered the authorities with ridicule and exasperated them with rage . It seems that Genewl

      Haynau has taken it into his heard to spare the language of the Magyars as little ' as their lives and liberties . A proclamation was issued to the tradesmen to hang out the sigss descriptive of their business in German . The ingenuity of patriotism has been taxed to the uttermost to ring all the changes of insulting irony in compliance with this absurd exigence . Some remove their S'gns altogether ; others paint up' very minute German characters and inscriptions close to the immense Magyar ones ; others retain only their names : and so forth ;

      TURKEY AND RUSSIA . Constantinople , Oct . 25 . —Yesterday a Queen ' s messenger arrived here on board the French war steamer Tartare . He was the bearer of despatches from Lord Palmerstou for Sir Stratford Canning , and from the French government for . General Aupick . The despatches from London are dated tbe 9 th inst . and from Paris the 10 th inst . This is the second messenger who has arrived here from the Foreignoffice within a week , and , in the interval , the usual monthly courier from Malta brought despatches to our embassy . In my last letter I informed you that the despatches brought by Lieutenant Roubius , and dated London , Oct . 3 , contained an approval of the conduct of the Porte on tbe question of extradition ,

      and of that pursued by the British Ambassador , who had advised the Turkish government to resist the demands of Russia , and that these communications -rsve it to be understood that England would grant material support to the Sultan in case of emergency , Tbe despatches received yesterday at the British Embassy expressed more cleariy the determination of her Majesty ' s gcvernroent to form a defensive alliance with the Porte , should the Czar put into executioh his threats ' of aggression . As the fir » t step towards such a measure , orders had . been sent to Admiral Parker to put himself into communication with Sir Stratford Canning , and the British flset , under the Commander-in-Chief , is at the present moment at the mtuuh of the Dardanelles

      The despatches received yesterday by General Aupick are nearl y in the same terms " as those from the English government . France approves of the conduct of the Porte aud of that of her own envoy at Constantinople . Constantinople , October 25 . —Letters received here from Widden mention ' that orders have been sent for the removal of the refugees , in consequence ef the insalubrity of its climate . The Hungarians will go to Roustchouk and Silistria ; the Italians have already set out for Gallipoli , and the Poles for Choumla , with General Wissocki , Count Bysterzanovrski . and Prince Zamoiaki .

It is for this purpose that the convention of delegates of the British American league was to meet . An union of the North American provinces will also be considered .

The emperor has also decreed the imperial crown as hereditary , as also all its perquisites , titles , &c . The imperial potency ranges as far as the east , for there are dukes of places of the Dominican territory . France must now hide her diminished head , and all Europe bow in becoming homage to his Imperial Majesty of the Occident . In the same paper from which the above is taken we find a letter said to be written by one of the objects of the new emperor ' s proscriptions , whose name is concealed , lest its mention should call down on his friends and family the vengeance of the men

      now m power . You must have learned that since the early part of last month Soulouque , resuming the course of his capital executions , has doomed a new series of vie . tiras to the last pain . Amongst these is one of the most able and intelligent man of the country , Celi gny Ardouiii , niy excellent friend , younger brother of the resident minister at Paris . To join cruelty tO ridicule , and at tbe same time to enhance the measure of bis hideoii 3 celebrity , the modern Nero , on the 26 th of August , got himself crooned Emperor of Hayti , under the title of Faustin the First . At the date of the latest advices , 7 th September , the entire

      solicitude of government was cohcentratedon the organisation of an imperial court and the creation of an hereditary nobility . Four princes of the empire , three dukes , and three ladies of : honour to the ern « progs , are alread y known . The list of the oWw dignitaries will not be long incomplete , and I shall soon be enabled to place before you ths nomenclature of marquises , counts , barons , knights , squires , oupbearers , masters of the pantry , officers of tho bed-chamber , &c . All this will ' compose the most curious as well as the most interesting of menageries . As it was necessary to give an appearance of legality to this ignoble masquerade , the concurrence of

      the legislative body became indispensable . To obtain it , recourse was had to terror , already brought into a system . Hesitation thenceforward became impossible ; the drums beat a general call , and the alarm cannon was fired from Port-au-Prince : and it was under the pressure of the cannon ball and the bayonet that the Senate and the Chamber of Represuntatives had to deliberate on the question of the transformation of the republic into an empire—a question brought forward under the form of a petition by some of the trusty . An affirmative vote can e to hand . The feeling ' of personal safety prevai ' ed over the whblesomeness of principleand a new

      , Christophian era opens for this unfortunate country . The following extract of a letter is from a gentleman of respectability at Hayti : — ' I send you a Hay . tian journal , by which you will see that the ferocious and sanguinary President of Hayti , Soulouque , has got himself proclaimed emperor . The news , paper tells you that he ovres this elevation to the wish of the people , but this is false ; ¦ the initiative has been entirely his own , and any member of the legislative body that would have dared to oppose his will would have been drawn out and shot like a dog , as many a worthy man has lately been , by order of this monster . His object is to ex .

      terminate the coloured race , and have the country exclusively governed b y the blacks . There is no longer safety to coloured men in Hayti All of this Cla « s who possessed anything have been either killed or obliged to flee the country . Neither sex nor age is spared by this demon and his minister , Salomon , who have sworn together the extermmat on m masse ol the coloured race . But let US hone that tb . 8 Alimghty wJii avemne accomplishment of such a crime , and that there may yet be found in Hayti another Brutus to deliver his country from this monster , who surpasses in cruelty anythL we have read of Tiberius orNerb .
