      FRANCE . The following message from the President of the republic uas lead taj the Pte ^ fienl of the Assembly to the representation on Friday evening last : — ' TO THE PRESIDENT OP THE NATnXAL

      LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY' Monsieur , —Pu'ilic opinion , counting in the wisdom of tbe Assembly and the government , bas not been alarmed by the la ; e incidents ; nevertheless , Frauce begins ta suffer by divisions which she depiores . My duty is to do what in me lies to prevent tha ill results of them . The union of the two powers is indispensable to the repose of the country , but as tbe constitution has rendered them independent of eacb other , tbe only condition of thu union is reciprocal confidence . Penetrated with this sentiment , 1 shall always respect tbe right * of the Assembly while maintaining intact tbe prerogatives of that power which I hold from the people .

      In order net to prolong a painful dissention , I have accepted , after the recent vote of the Assembly , tbe resignation of a ministry which had given to the country and to the cause of order signal pledges of its devotion . Wubiug , however , to reconstruct a cabinet with chances of duration , I could not choose its elemen's in a majority produced by exceptional ciscumstances , and lisve found myself with regret onaMe to / raise a combination from atnoiig the members ot tbe minority , notwithstanding its importance . In th > s conjecture , after vain attempts , I have resolved on fanning a ministry of transition —of special men , belonging to no iractiun of the Assembly , and determined t < i devote themselves to affairs , without regard to panv tooling ; and the

      honourable men who accept this patriotic taik will have titles to tbe gratitude of thV country . TUt administration will , therefore , continue a * before ; prejudices will lie dissipated before , u remem ' -ranee of the sobmn declaration of the message of Nov . 12 . The real majority will be recunstita-ed . Harmony will be re-established without the two powers having sacrificed aught of ihe dignity which con . Etitutes their strength . Yraace , before all thing ? , desires repose , and expects I ' mm i ^ ose whom she has invested with her confidence conciliation without weakness—c < ilm and unaltered firmness is tbe right . Accept , M . le President , ilin assurances of a high esteem . Lr . uis K . apoleok Bonaparte . ' ' Paris , Jan . 24 , 1851 . '

      The message was listened to in deep silence . There was no interruption of any kind . The uppermost feeling seemed surprised , although something of this kind was expected . - The following is tbe transitional Ministry : —Interior M . Vaisse ; Foreign Affairs , M . Brennier ; War , General Randon ; Marine , Admiral Levaillant ; Public Instruction , M . Giraud ( de l' ( natitut ) ; Com * merce , M . Schneider ; Finances , M . de Germinr ; Public Works , M . Magne ; Justice , M . de Xoyer . It will be seen that not one of the members of tbe new Cabinet is a representative of the people , They are all employes in different dspartments , and the reason giveu for the selection is detailed at length in the subjoined message .

      M . Vaisse is Prefect of the Department of the North , and is said to bean fcble administrator . M . Brennier . the new Minister of Foreign Affairs , is ckefde division in the same department . M . Giraud is a well-known saeraUer of the Institute , and Inspector-general of the University . He was formerly piofes-or of the University of Aix , and was a member of tbe Chamb -r of Deputies ; n the time of M . Guhsnt . M . de Gcnniny , tbe new Minister of Finances , is a receiver-general , and son-in-law of M . Humann , who was Minister of Finances many years ago . He is a particular frit-nd of M . Fouid , and his appointment to office is , no doubt , to be attributed to that intimacy .

      M . Magne , the Minister of Public Works , was chef de division ia the department oi tbe finances , when he was suddenly transformed into a Minister of Public Works in the Baroche Cahinet which has just broken up . He is the only member of the late Cabinet who retains office . M . de Soyer , tbe new Miuister of Justice , is Procureur-General in tbe Court of Appeal of Paris . Mr . Levaillant , Minister of Marine , is an admiral who commanded a division of the French fleet en the coast of Italy during the Riman expedition . The Assembly have passed a bill , declaring that all representatives who shall nut have arranged with their creditors in three months from the time of being called on , shall , forfeit their seats in the Assembly .

      On Saturday last notice was g iven by Mr . Tranchire of his intention to interpellate tie new ministers , and it was expected that this would lead to a very stormy debate , and probably the overthrow of the ministry . On . Monday he interpellated tbe ministers , and said , that for the first time in tip parliamentary annals of France , a cabinet had been appointed consisting exclusively of persons not belonging to the legislative body . He demanded whether this proceeding on the part of the executive power was incidental or part of a system . I * the ministry were really one of transition it would be a sign that that po * er was lowering its tone . But to lower one ' s tone is not always to answer with

      sufficient distinctness . He would now ask tbe government . to what it was leading them , and to whom ? He then entered into an examination of the origin of ttie ministry , and called upon the ministers to explain the nature of the policj which they intended to follow ; for it wa 3 not enough for reassuring alarmed and uncertain minds , that they were persons unknown to the Chamber or the country . He called in question tbe seriousness of the attempt made to form a ministry ont o ! members of tbe Assembly , and assigned as proofs o (

      the insincerity of the negotiations entered into with this object tha feet of M . Waysse having been summoned from Lille by tbe telegraph on the same day that M . Leoa Faucber was charged with the mission of forming a cabinet ; so that even the English papers were not able to predict that a cabinet would be formed in the way in which it had turned ont . With respect to the policy which the ministry intended to follow , he wanted to know if the government intended to apply the electoral law of 31 st May to all elections , or to exempt the election of the President from this application .

      M . Iloyer , Minister of Justice , rose , on the part Of the government , to reply . His answer was shorf , and coached in a conciliatory tone . He said that the government when it spofee of the indesiendence of the two powers mentioned in the message , and commented on with so much distrust , m ^ ant nothing at variauee with what had been laid dawn by the constitution . He was exceedingly explicit in his declaration that the ministry was essentially transitory , and meant to be nothing else . It was an administrative cabinet , not a political one—a cabinet of transition , conducting in the shortest delay to a definitive cabinet .

      Mathieu de la Drome then taxed the legitimists andOrleanists with tbe want of confidence expressed by their leaders in the permanence of the republic , and showed that they had set the example to the government of Louis Napoleon to prepare a solution io his own favour . The matter then dropped by passing to the order of the day , without any grand display on either side , so thst all the boasting and great expectations entertained about the result of this debate have ended in smoke . It deserves particularly to be noticed that , when interrogated by MM . Hovyn-Tranchere and Mathieu de la Drome with regard to the application of the electoral lax of May 31 st to the election of tbe President , the ministers remained silent .

      The new Miaister of the Interior has sent a circular to all tbe Prefects , directing them to have the message of the President of the KepuVic printed ind posted « j a an tne communes of eacli department .

      ROME . Thefaliow ngisonthe authority of the correspondent of the Times , and it seems to have an air of probability about it : — ' I am told in a high quartet that Pio Nino , more than once during bis residence at Pdrtici , stated to the cardinals most in his Confidence , that he bad serious thouehts of abdica-

      Untitled Article

      ting , and that if such a step could be reconciled with the interests of the church he was prepared to take it ; bat that the cardinals , though the vista of the-Popedom was opened to each , were unanimous in condemning the measure as untimely , and intreated him to relinquish the idea . 'Wait , ' they said , ' at least till your restoration to the Quirinal , and do not give Mazzini and the Republic the triumph of boasting that in your person they have destroyed the Papacy , and that your abandonment of place and power was caused alone by them . ' The

      Pope allowed himself to be persuaded by this reasonirg , but I am informed that , since his return to Rome , his longing for the quiet of a convent recurs with double force , and that the cardinals , seeing how stronjly his mind is bent that way , are less indisposed to accede to his desire than they were at Naples . Nay , I am assured that the question 13 at 'his moment the subject of their secret councils , and that matters have proceeded so far as that the con . vent where Pius IX . means to end his days has already been named . The fact is , Pio Nono is not

      a man suited to his position ; he ta religious even to bigotry , and he looks to no consolation in this life heyond that which the severity of monastic rule , in his opinion , insures . I hear , likewise , that he is deeply pained at the results of the liberal policy which he was tbe first to introduce in the Peninsula , and that he holds himself responsible to the Almighty for all the evils that in consequence of it have fallen on his native soil . ¦ I have always understood that the Pope is in heart what is called « a true Italian , ' and that his supposed duties as a Sovereign have been since 1848 in constant cenflict with his opinions as a man . He sees now that

      there is no hope for Italy without further bloodshed , and ere the straggle be recommenced he wishes to retire from all further responsibility . I have no doubt but that every word I now say will be regarded by many as pure invention , and that when thia letter finds its way to Rome it will receive immediate contradiction in the official gazette ; but you knew me too well not to give credit to what I write , or to doubt for » moment the soundness of the information on which I act . For my own part , I see no other way for this fine country , and people worthy of a better fate escaping from their present difficulties . Nothing short of a revolution can procure good government , or rather root out the evils that are inherent

      in the present order ; and happy it will be for the Roman Slates , and Italy in general , if that revolution be moral , and not physical , and that while the spirit of good is maintained the abuses that now prevail may be effectually eradicated . While Pio Nono reigns nothing can be done , because he- neglected to take advantage of the opportunity of making sound reform afforded him by the overthrow of the Republican parly and the favourable disposition of his French allies ; and because he has not availed himself of the protection afforded by Austrian and French troops to improve bis Administration and introduce into it as much of public representation—without which no form of

      government can last—as is consistent with the lights of property . What may take place under a iew Papal Sovereign time alone can show ; hut all reasonable people here are desirous of a change , as all hope of amelioration u extinct under Ihe system that now prevails . I am credibly informed that Cardinal Antonelli is at this moment occupied in drawing up an expose des motives to justify the late measures takeh' for the establishment of a hierarchy in England , and that this document will see the light upon the opening of our parliament . It is , I am told , ably and modestly written , and the author entertains hopes that its publication will tend to mitigate the

      excitement that now prevails with you . I am further informed that Antonelli is far from approving the precipitation with which the measure , so cautiously prepared , had been ushered into life , and he deplores that the matter was not done in another shape , or that the same steps were not taken simultaneously in-the United States of America , where they would have been passed by without notice . Though rather late in the day , he propeses to create three cardinals in the United States , and to develope a series of measures equally calculated to arouse tbe fears of a Protestant public there as those which have been so unadvisedly proclaimed with us . Such a mode of extricating himself from

      a difficulty is worthy of an Italian Minister ' s invention . I have heard a great deal of unmeaning talk on this subject , with a multitude of professions , that no harm was meant to Protestant England and that no injury to the establishment could possible arise ; bnt tbe only man that has spoken the plain truth has been an Irish Dominican friar , who preached a most eloquent sermon a few days since in the chwch of St . Andrea de la VaJle , of which—not being able to be present—I have received the following report : — ' His chief topic was the triumph of the Roman Catholic church over Paganism , and its present hi gh and exalted position ; and be dwelt at some length on the special object

      which had been intrusted to him , and to the two other British divines who had preceded him in that pulpit on former days—namely , the collection of a sum of money forthe building of a church in London for the special use of the numerous foreigners who annually flock there , and who complain of the present limited accommodation . He then alluded to the agitation which prevailed in England on the subject of the late Papal measures , and , while he expressed his deep sorrow that they had caused so much irritation , admitted that the true and sacred object contemplated by them was the consolidation of the Roman church in London and tbe conversion of Protestant England to Us ancient faith . 'Yes , he added ; ' the conversion of England trill be a great

      gain to the interests of true religion—England , which by her power influences all the nations of the earth , and with her language encircles the globe-England , which by her commerce , her enterprise , and her industry , not only enriches herself , but also tbe several regions of the earth with which she carries on her boundless and extraordinary traffic—yes , the conversion of England would be a great gain . Let me beseech you all to pray with me for the completion of this holy object , and the speedy return of England to the bosom of the Catholic Church . ' This appeal , I am told , was answered by the whole . congregation kneeling down and joining in a common prayer , Lord Feilding being remarked among the moat devout .

      The efforts of the Mazzini party , are already bearing fruit . A great many people have been arrested , and the police have committed what would be called with us grievous outrages against individual liberty . A number of young men who were singing after the theatre the night of the 17 th ult . at the restaurant of the Falcone , were searched for arms , and confined one day in prison , and some violence also took place in the Piazza di Spagna . It is said that the Papal government has required a change of quarters nf the French troops , alleging that many of them in Rome are fraternising with the- people , to which the French General has' of course returned a most indignant answer , rendering due justice to the discipline and loyalty of tbe arrav of occupation .

      A report has been circulated that General Garibaldi , as captain ef an American vessel with the United States flag , has left New York , and it is said that the Cardinals were so frightened that they contemplated flight ,

      PRUSSIA . Baron Henry Arnim , supported by MM . de Vincke , Camphausen , von Ammon , and some twenty-five others of the Constitutional' party in the First Chamber , have drawn up a motion , and laid it before the first Chamber , which , afterjeciting the reported occupation of Schleswig Hols ' tein by Austrian and Prussian troops , contrary to agreements , concludes by proposing to the government-. ' 1 . That U should take care that the Convention concluded between the Prussian and Austrian Commissioners with the Stadtbolderate , in the name of tbe German Confederation , should be held and

      observed as sacred by Prussia and Austria , as this bas been done by the said Staritholderate ; and in case , also , that the Commissioners sent to Kiel should bave overstepped their instructions , that they should lie disavowed , and the convention concluded refused ruification . ' ' 2 . Under every circumstance , that care should be taken that parts of Holstein which notoriously belong to the German Federal territory , or relative to which controversy exists , shall not be occupied , tven provisionally by any but by German troops until the final regulation of the Schleswig Holstein question . ' This proposition was referred to a committee .

      would not afford it , the debt being very heavy , and the revenue hardly sufficient to cover the > current outgoings . Further , the Senate observed , the city was in so quiet a state that there was not the least fear for disturbances , and consequently no armed force was wanted to quell disturbances , or to prevent any outbreak , and that the march of the army from Lauenhurg might be made on other roads equally as near . Should it , however , be found indispensable by the General , the Senate went on to say , to march some detachments through this city ot her territory , they would meet with " a hearty welcome as friends belonging to the League An answer from the General stated that he regrettedhe ceuld not comply with the wishes of the Senate , 4000 would

      that the vanguard of a corpse of , arrive at Hamburg on Sunday , and the " remainder were to follow tbe next day . Tbe Senate met again and summoned the College of the Ancients . The debate ? , it is said , were very warm , and it was proposed to apply for assistance to- those foreign powers who guaranteed the independence of this state in tbe Vienna treaties of 1815 . It was further obaerved , that moat of those troops were not germans ; they could , therefore , not be legally employed for the executive purposes of tbe German League , hut must be considered as foreign invaders . Whether this view was adopted by the majority , and whether any steps' will be taken in consequence , is very doubtful ; the Senate is by far too timorous to act with decirioni :

      The Senate bas submitted , and prepared for tbe reception of the unwelcome visitors . A proclamation has been published , in which the Senate informs the citizens of Hamburgh thai their town will receive a < i Austrian garrison . A regret is expressed that the city could nut forego ' this burden , ? but at the same time the Senate trusts that the Hamburghers will receive their guests with'all kindness and due consideration . It was expected that the troops would enter Hamburgh on the 28 th ult .

      SPAIN . It is reported that some disagreement has arisen between the Ministry and the Committee chosen to prepare a new law for the press . The former proposed to introduce into the bill trial by jury , which was resisted by the Committee as calculated to be prejudicial to the public peace . The Ministers Beltraa de Lia , Arteta , and Negretewere to have an interview on the subject with the Commisioners . < fc

      Therapeutics . —The history of medicine is by no means flattering to science . It is questionable whether more is known of diseases , their causo , and their cure , at this moment , thun in the time of Galen ; it is certain that diseaies are quite as numerous , and in the aggregate as fatal ; Every age has produced some new system of artificial therapeutics which the next age has banished ; each has boasted in its turn of cures , and they , in their turn , have been con demnedasfailnres . Medicines themselres are thesubweta unsettled ; in fact , that it lia » no established principles , that it is little more than conjectural t ' At this moment , ' says Mr . Pinny , ' the opinions on the subjeot of treatment are almost a 3 numerous as the practitioners themselves . " Witness the mass of contradiction < . n the treatment of even one dieeaee , uiuwely , consumption . Stroll attributes Its frequency td the introduction of bark . Morton considers bark an effectual cure . Reid ascribes the frequency of the disease to the use of mercury . Brillonet asserts that it is cur .

      able by mercury only . Ruse says that consumption is an inflammatory disease — should be treated by bleeding , turning , cooling medicines , and starvation . Salvador ! says it is a disease of debility , and should be treated by tonics , stimulating remedies , and n generous diet . Galen recommended ¦ vinegar as the best preventative of consumption . Dessault and others assert that consumption is often brought on by taking vinegar to prevent obesity . Beddoes recommended foxglove ns a specific . Dr . Parr found foxglove more injurious in his practice than beneficial . Such arc the contradictory statements , of medical men ! ' And yet there can be hut one true theory of disease .

      OPINIONS OF THE PIIESS . Extract from the Medical Gazette and Times : — « Fortu . nately for our country , a more efficient ( because certain ) mode of treating these deplorable complaints U at last in . troduced ; and we hail the time as not far . distant , when such diseases shall be comparatively , unheard of ; tre would earnestly recommend all persons afflicted with anj kind of generative derangement to avail themselves of tht information contained in almost every page of Or . Dt Rooa ' s work , which we unhesitatingly pronounce the best extant . ' ' THE MEDICAL ADVISER is indeed a boon to the pub . lie , as it has tht two-fold advantage of plainness , and being written by a skilful and duly qualified man , who evident !} well understands his aub'cet' —Times . ' Many a man , who unmarried and mlcnrobto , isnovr TOdaring in riient sorrow the penalties of former folly ( perhaps committed in ignorance , ) had he possessed such a book aj

      tins , would have been a happy husband , a honoured parent and useful member of society . l—Dhpatch . The difnience and fear of exposure , consequent on tbess affections , frequently prevent persons applying for assist . ance , until great mischief has been inflicted on the constitution and powers nf life . It is hoped the perusal of tliii work will teach such persons the evil ot delay , aud lead them at once to seek tbat assistance which alone can save them from th « horrors of an existence protracted amidst long enduring wretchedness , both mental and physical . Lasting benefit ean only bo reasonably expected at ft ) hands of the . intelligent and practical physician , who , de . partinj .- from the routine of general practice , devotes the whole of bis studies to this class of diseases , the lamentable neglect of which by ordinary medical men ,. and their futils attempts at cure by mercury and other equaUj dangerous medicines , have produced the most alarming re . suits .

      From the great extentof Db .

Hence he is enabled confidently and conscien . tiously to undertake the removal of every symptom ( not excepting the most inveterate or long standing ) in as short a time as is consistent vrith safety or return of money .

      The Copenbfigen journals publish a Royal order , according to which th « natives of the Duchy of Schleswig who are discharged from . the Holstein army and return to their homes are not to be subjested to any molestation or prosecution of any kind for having borne arms during the last two ' years against the King of Denmark ; but this ' amnesty does not extend to the officers who before the 24 th of March , 1848 , were in the Danish service , and have since that date been in the army of the insurrectionary government .

      On the night of the 22 nd ult . a Danish patrol approached so near the out-works of the fortress of Rendsburg , in Holstein , that it was challenged , and no answer being given to the wer da of the sentinel , he fired , and a Danish hussar fell mortally wounded . The Danish outposts are now not . more than two English miles from Rendsburg , but the communication with the town from the north is not interriipted . The disbanding < if the Hoktein army is proceeding rapidly . . The indirect taxes of Belgium during the past year amounted to 76 , 885 , 801 fr ., being 2 , 875 . 742 francs more than the year hefore .

      An anticipated rising of the slaves in the state of Virginia bas beeu causing much apprehension for the continuance of tranquillity in the southern districts of the Union . Upwards of 600 slaves , and these belonging to different plantations , are supposed to be implicated in the apprehended insurrection . In Madrid on Saturday last , at live in the afternoon , when the Queen and King Consort were on their way to Atocha Church , one of the bulls

      destined for tee bull fight on the following day escaped from its driver , and placing itself abreast of tbe leaders of the rojal carriage , accompanied' them to a considerable distance , till at length by tbe dexterity of the coachman , who gave the borses a sudden turn , they got rid of their dangerous com panien . The bull then turned to the . left , and rushed into the crowd , trampled several persons under foot and gored an old woman , and was finally driven out of Olivar-gate .

      Don Andres Borrego , Don Ramon de la Sagra , and Don Isac Villaneuva , have been appointed as Royal Commissioners to represent the Spanish nation during tue Exhibition at London . In Lake Superior the vestiges of apparently very ancient mining operations continue to be met with , and in greater numbers and extent than any previously discovered . The age of these traces is supposed to be at least 2 , 000 jears ; but their connection with a particular race has not been ascertained .

      There are indications , however that the copper visa carried off from the mines by the way of St . Mar River and the lakes . The excavations found are , in some cases , such as could only bave been effected by years of labour , and they bave very much facilitated the miners , as well as pointed them to the best locations . It is said that a road from Green Bay to the most southerly point of Keewenaw would be less than 200 miles in length , and shorten the present route at least 100 miles .

      In Boston , United States , Collector Greeley has eizsd the British steamer Niagara for violation of the revenue laws . On the night of the 13 th ult . a hoat was seen going from the steamer , which was boarded by an officer and found to contain silk and lace . Other light goods were found upon the wharf where they had been loading , in all to the amount of from 5 , 000 dols . to 10 , 000 dols . It is supposed that the crew , and hot the officers of the ship are implicated in the transaction , and that the ship will be released by the Secretary of the treasury . In the meantime United States officers have been placed on board .

      The slavery agitation between the Northern and Southern States is now fast subsiding , and several fugitive slaves re-captured in the free States , on due proof of identity and ownership , have been taken back quietly . The Governor of Indiana , in a recent message to his Legislature , warmly approves of the Fugitive Slave Law . Indiana is a free State . Boston will probably carry off ; the palm among American cities at the ' World ' s Fair , ' , as she has already collected specimens from Massachusetts , sufficient to measure , as freight , 8 , 000 superficial feet . Among the articles area dozen or more of pianos , statuary , machinery , manufactures of coiton and wool , shawls , &c .

      A letter from Vienna , dated the evening of the 23 rd ult ., states that a conspiracy of a revolutionary nature had been discovered at that capital . Some twenty individuals had been arrested . Trie eonspiracy is said to have ramifications . ias , $ ll parts © £ J 3 # » many . It was discovered from some correspondence seized by order of Count Leiningen at Cassel . The Archbishop of PariB has issued a circular to his clergy , in which he at some length exposes tbe impropriety of the clergy meddling in political affairs , and thereby making themselves party . men ; and , ip accordance with the recent decree of the Council of the Province , he specially forbids them from becoming candidates at tbe next elections . He exhorts them , both by example and precept , to respect the laws , and dwells on the necessity of displaying patriotism . . '

      Instructions have been sent out to M . Dillon , French Consul at San Francisco , to furnish data for a complete work on the production of gold in California , all the statistics hitherto published on this important subject being either incomplete or incurred . An announcement in a semi-official form has ap . peered in the Ministerial paper of Berlin , which shows the increasing tyranny of Prussia . According to the provisions of the Prussian passport regu lations , foreigners are only allowed to enter the kingdom when furnished with passports from the authorities of their own countries , or those of Prussian officials—of course , ambassadors or consuls . But for English subjects an exception was made on

      tue ground that English passports can only be ohtair ed of the Foreign-office , on the payment of a high fee , there being no subordinate authorities who can grant them . For English subjects , therefore , it was enough to be provided with the pass of the Prussian or Belgian Consuls , according to the route of the journey . This privilege U now to be abolished , and it is announced by the Prussian police that every English subject entering Prussia must have an English—that is , a Foreign-office—passport , only obtainable on payment of tbe fee of £ 2 12 s . 6 d . A tax to that amount is , in fact , about to be levied on all English travellers , to Germany , for it is scarcely possible to proceed in any direction without entering the dominions of Prussia . The only reason all «« d ( or tbis new regulation it . tbat tbi privilege

      has been ' . abused * ' No case or cases are alleged , nor bave the police reports of Bcvlm ot any < Mjer Prussian city revealed any instance of English offenders against the laws of the land , political or criminal , who could have been concealed or prevented by any system of passports whatever , ; , The . « Vote- Universal , ' a ' French paper , earnestly recommends a subscription for the relief of French refugees in London and Switzerland . The Austrian Minister has addressed a note to tbe Greek government complaining of the protection afforded by Greece to the Italian exiles , who thus transform the country into a focus of revolution , by forming societies , striking medals , with the effiey of the most prominent men in the late struggles , and thus exciting the sympathies of the Greek people . The note concludes with a sort of menace , to the effect that the more interest the

      Greek nation takes in these unfortunate men , the more severity will be displayed in Italy by the Imperial government towards its subjects . Tbe same paper mentions a note addressed by the Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs to all tha members of the diplomatic corps , informing them that , in consequence of a n < -w regulation , adopted by his colleague the Minister of Finasce , they will henceforth be obliged to specify with the greatest precision the contents of the different sealed parcel or boxes addressed to them from foreign countries , exempt from duty in consequence of international custom .

      ^ About six months ago , ten men of the splendid Urcassian regiment quartered in Poland deserted with arms and horses , and after a ride across country , performed with wonderful speed , safely reached the Prussian frontier , where they addressed themselves to the gensd ' arraes , and were conducted as they arrived to the residence of the nearest civil authority al Snowraston , in Posen . Through the moans of an interpreter they stated that they , bad deserted on account of ill-usage , and desired , to ha conducted to Berlin , there to enter the Prussian

      service , or to be allowed to return as best they could to the East . A- . cartel for the exchange of deserters between Russia and Prussia rendering it impossible to grant this request , especially as they were forthwith claimed by the Russian military authorities , they were ordered to lay down their arms and to follow the officers sent to conduct them back . This being explained to them , they not only refused , but upon the military authorities approach , ing to execute their orders , the bruve butunfortunate men first resisted , and then , setting spurs to their jaded horses , endeavoared to escape , they knew not whither . A pursuit ensued . Of the ten , two or three were shot , the remainder having

      galloped a short : distance , fighting , the while , threw themselves into a farm building , where they continued to defend themselves until a detachment of infantry came to the assistance of the pursuing dragoons . The farm buildings were set on fire h and , at length , after a most desperate resistance , the survivors , six in number , were captured , but not before they had killed and wounded two or three of their assailants . Five of these survivors were brought up on the 20 tb , before the jury at Bromberg ( Posen ) , to take their trial for killing and maiming the Prussian soldiers , and resisting , with arms in their hands , the public authorities . The sixth survivor had not sufficiently recovered

      from his wounds to admit of his attendance . All are Mahomedans and natives of the Caucasus districts . The accused , who attracted tbe greatrst sympathy , were provided with interpreters , among whom was an officer of their own corps , sent by Prince Paskiewitch to attend the trial . On the question being put , whether they wercguilty or not guilty , one replied , in the name : of the others , that they could not answer , being utterly ignorant of the laws . The trial then proceeded . Divers witnesses clearly proved all the facts of resistance , and of the killing and wounding of Prussian soldiers , but either from a desire to spare the unfortunate strangers or from conviction .

      all gave it as their opinion that the shots which took effact were fired by one or more of the four men who . lost their lives in the encounter . As regarded the question of resistance , the accused declared that it ; was against their reli gion and obligations as warriors to submit with arms in their hands , or to deliver up their arms , until over .-powered . In corroboration of tbis the Russian officer , Count Simonisch , stated , under similar circumstances , he would not have , ordered ihem to throw down their arms , even in Russia . After all

      the witnesses had been examined ; the jury retired , and returned with a verdict of guilty of resisting the authorities with arms in their hands , but not uuilty of homicide or wounding . In consequence of this the court condemned the prisoners to two years' imprisonment in a fortress . The Circassians , who appeared to have anticipated a more Bevert punishment , on being delivered up to Russia , thanked the judges warmly , and exclaimed , We would rather receive sentence of death here , than pardon there ( in Russia ) .
