      Extract of aletter from Mr . J . II . Alliaay , 209 High-3 treet , Cheltenham , dated January . 22 nd , 1850 . Sib , —My eldest son , when about three years of age , was afflicted with a glandular swelling in the neck , which after a short time broke out into an ulcer . . An . enJSnent medical man pronounced it as a very bad case of scrofula , and prescribed for a considerable time without effect ., The disease then for years went' on gradually increasing in virulence , when besides the ulcer in the neck , another formed below the left knee , and a third under the eye , besides seven others on the left arm , with a tumour between the ejeg which was expected to break . During the whole ot the time my suffering boy had received the constant advice of the most celebrated medical gentlemen at Cheltenham , besWesbQing for several months at the General Hospital

      FRANCE . SI . Mtrchais hu beeo ' set at liberty . After being fajterrogated , it appeared that nothing could be laid to bis charge . His letter to Ledru-Rollin , which so mys teriously disappeared in Judge Carre ' s presence , had been read by the commistioner of police , who atade an extract from it , bat neither in the extract nor in the commissioner ' s memory could any unlawful matter be found . M . Pilhette , formerly secietary toM . Deleicluie , has alto been discharged from custody . Thns tiro out of the very few names of any prominence in the list of so-called consp irators are already erased from it .

      It iistated in the 'Journal d'Argenton / of the 8 tninstaot , tnat the procurer of the republic in the arrontiMement of Mortagne has instituted a prosecution against M . Gamier Pages , the former member of the provisional government , for demago . Mcalspeeches lately made . by him in the neighbourhood . It does not appear that the honourable gentkman is in actual custody , but he has been subjected to a long interrogatory . The Prefect of the Bouclies-au-Rhone , by an edict of Sept . 2 , has prohibited the wearing or exhibiting in public of any sign or symbol calculated to propagate the spirit of rebellion , or to trouble the public peace , such as red bonnets or caps , red girdles or cravats , p ieces of red stuff about the neck or on tbe breast , or any other distinctive party Bign .

      . While such extraordinary precautions are taken in tbe provinces against perilous red , the immaculate white colour finds more favour in Paris . If . Micolci , the bookseller of the Quai d'Or / evres , and M . Jan 3 on , his printer , have been tried for publishing a placard entitled 'Manifesto of a Legitimist , ' by Viscount le Serrec de Kervilly , ornamented with tbe Bourbon lilies . The legal description of this offence was the publication of seditious emblems tending to provoke rebellion . The counsel for the defence plesded the whole history of France , which , lie said , proved that the ' fleur-de-lys' could never lie the symbol of disorder . This argument prevailed , and both the prisoners were acqnitted .

      The ' Moniteur' contains a decree promulgating the convention of February 5 , 1848 , between his then Majesty , Louis Philippe , and the free Hanseatic town of Hamburg , for the reciprocal extradition of fugitive criminals in France and Hamhurg » Another , decree directs that , rough case iron ( ' fonte brute /) destined to be made up into machinery for re-exportation , shall hereafter be admitted into Prance duty iree , whether arriving by sea or land , and whether , in French ships , or the ships of the exporting country . In the latter case a declaration of the origin of tbe iron will be required . Sufficient security must be given for the re-exportation , or replacement in bond of the weight of metal imported .

      The 'Patrie' states that it is in contemplation to extend the new regulations concerning foreigners to every department of . France . M . Carlier ' g humour for protecting society by cramming the cells of the Rue Mazas has burst out into fresh activity . A regular razzia has been made pon the habitations of the thirty Hungarians who reside in Paris . The apartments of M . Yukovicz , KossuthY Minister of Justice , have been visited with the minutest scrutiny ; all hu papers seized and examined , and he himself threatened with expulsion ; but , nothing appearing against him , he has been lelt unmolested farther . Colonel Kiss de

      Nemeskir , who commanded at Bnda for the Diet previous to Windischgratz ' s occupation of that fortress , has been arrested in his lodgings , and . convejed to tne prefecture of police . Colonel Kisa has been very quietly pursuing the study of his profession as military engineer ; his arrest has thrown his friends and fellow countrymen into consternation , and the greater part of them tremble under the apprehension of a similar blow . He was seized as president of the Hungarian committee . This position was held by Count Teleky , vrho is absent , and has since devolved upon M . Yukowicz . Colonel Kiss was obliged to pass the night in confinement at the Prefecture ; was submitted to a searching

      interrogatory tbe following morning as to his connexion -with schemes for revolutionising Europe , and then liberated with the intimation that he would receive orders to quit Paris ; in three days . Several other Hungarians are menaced with immediate expulsion . All foreigners who are without families , or whose means of existence are doubtful , must quit France in twenty-four houra after receiving netice to that effect . Already a great number among them have been subjected to this alternative . The faubourg of St . Antoine presents at this moment a plteons

      spectacle . Our readers are aware that the journeymen cabinet makers in that populous and democratic quarter are almost all Germans or Belgians ; those among them whose employers will guarantee their morality , or who declare that tbey will no longer employ them , ate expelled without indulgence . Crowds of them may be seen directing their steps towards the barriers with knapsacks on their backs and tears in their eyes . Several democratic tradesmen and men who had been amnestied have been the object of domiciliary visits , and have been put into prison .

      The Democratic papers publish a declaration of Ledru Roilin and others , dated the 9 th , giving the moat emphatic and explicit denial to the absurd allegations of the privileged press , which attribute to ihe editors ' of the ' Voix du ProscriV and the leading members of the central democratic committee in London , an intimate connexion with the pretended French-German-plot . This document states that the only editor of the 'Voix du PrOBCiit' present in France has been arrested , together with the persons whom chance brought to bis office at the moment of the visit of the police . The list of suscribers and the ' accounts and commercial correspondence were seized under the pretext that the ' Voix dn Proscrit' was the soul and

      chief engine of the pretended plot . Meanwhile the provisional gerant of the paper was arrested at St . Amand , and conveyed to Paris handcuffed ; and the sister of M . Chotteau , the gerant , now in detention at Douai for a press offence , was conducted to the prison of Valenciennes , for resisting the brutal attempts of the gendarmes to search her person . Ledra Roilin and bis colleagues declare that their political acts nave been confined to publications in the journal , which the French government is vainly striving to extinguish ; that they have never had the least relation with the ' German Committee' of Paris , accused by the police of being one of the wheels of this pretended plot ; and that they defy the government to produce any impeachable document emanating from them but the articles published in their paper . The assertion

      that documents of importance bad been seized at the house of M . Ledru Roilin is aridiculons blunder , for his habitation is in a country where the police do not invade private domiciles ' at the bidding of a foreign government—even supposing there were any compromising paper , which there is not , in his xboms to seize . Finall y , the more the French government proves , by its persecution of the ' Voix da Proscrit , ' its dread of the principles and policy advocated by that journal , tbe more its editors -will deem it their duty to devote themselves to the task of providing that policy with an organ . This taek they trust to accomplish in a few days . This statement is signed by Dupont , Ledru Roilin , Delescluze , and Ribeyrolles . Another document , signed by Bratiano , for tbe Central European Committee , declares that « is completely fake that documents

      emanatmg from the comaiittee have been seized ; adding , that if the Parisian police have obtained possession : of any compromising-papers , such are tbe work of men who have never belonged , far or near , to the committee . It concludes by defying the French government to publish any document establishing a connexion between the European Committee and the pretended French-German plot . A third document , signed by M . Tausanau , for the Society of German Agitation at London , repudiates the least knowled ge of the pretended plot in the following terms :

      /¦ The French paper the » Debate , " and with it Ml tne reactionary papers of Paris , taking for their text the manifesto recently published by the , S n A | lIation Soc « tJ of London , seek to con-S ^ F ^ tended conspiracy , for which a Sfiu lT \ ?

      the French police .. In pretence of this affirmation , which facts will undoubtedly confirm , no person can now be justified in seeking to fix upon the German Agitation Society of ' London tbe responsibility which has been sought to be attached to it , and which it repudiates in- the most absolute manner . In tbe name of the Agitation Society of London , 'ChXrlrs Tausbnau . ' Paris , Sunday . —The 'Moniteur' contains a decree placing the department of the Ardeche in a state of siege . M . Leon Fancher . developes . in an address to the President the motives which" render this tyrannical measure necessary in his opinion .

      The intention of instituting a . judicial inquiry into the affair of M . Carre , judge of tbe Court of Appeal , has been dropped . Thus the scandalous insinuations of the 'Patrie' against that legal functionary , merely because he was appointed by M . Cremieux , fall to the ground . The number of municipal magistrates lately suspended of dismissed is so great that it has become impossible for the chronicler to keep pace with the government , and to keep an accurate account of them . The whole local administration of France is in a state of confusion , for dismissal are in almost

      every instance followed by numerous resignations . In the Cote d'Or two lads , employed - in repairing the roof of an inn at Reneve , amuied themselves by scratching upon the chimney ' Vive la republi . que d . s . ' Two sharp-sighted gendarmes found out the seditious inscription , and forthwith hauled up the young democratic tilers before the 'juge de pair , who forthwith drew up a proces verbal of the crime , in the presence of the mayor and the gardecbampetre . The mayor of the neighbouring commune of Jaucigny , M . Robinet , thought the story rather a fanny one , and repeated it aa a thing

      to laugh at ; he was immediately suspended by the prefect , M . Jean Debry . The same prefect suspended M . Guillemin , Mayor of Ruffey-lez-Echirey , for having declined to legalise certain doubtful signatures to a petition for revision . For such a heinous crime as this , however , suspension—to which alone the powers of a prefect extendwas not enough . The mayor felt this himself , and tendered his resignation . The zealous prefect refused to accept it , but wrote to Paris for a decree of dismissal , which was instantly sent as requested . Three municipal councillors

      re-The President on Monday , laid the . foundation stoneof the central market places proposed to be erected in Paris . His reception is said to have been , on the whole , of a nature gratifying to himself . Tbe conclnsion of his short speech was as follows ' : — ' In laying this first stone of an edifice of which the destination is so eminently popular , I deliver myself with confidence to the hope that , with the support of good citizens , and with the protection of Heaven , it will be given to us to lay upon the soil of France some foundations whereupon will be erected a social edifice sufficiently solid to offer a shelter against the violence and mobility of human passions .

      Another son of Victor Hugo has been condemned to nine months' imprisonment , and fined 2 , 000 f . for an article on the expulsion : of- foreigners from France . M , Erdan , director of the paper tbe ' Evenemeut , ' is condemned to a like punishment , and the paper itself suspended for a month . The condemnation of the ' Evenement' has caused more excitement than mi ght have been ex * pected from the apathy displayed on so many occasions of the kind , as it is observed by M . de Girar .

      din . The following journals have within a short time been prosecuted and punished '——The ' Reforme , ' the Penple , the Vote Universel , the 'Presse , ' the 'Siecle , ' the « Republique , ' the 1 Charivari , ' and tbe ' Opinion Publique . ' Other journals have been either threatened , or prosecuted without effect . . As for the ' Evenement , ' it counts four . editors in prison , amongst whom are the two young sons of Victor Hugo . It is rumoured that soms other departments are to be declared in a state of siege .

      ITALY . Naples . —A . correspondent sends the following letter from Naples , dated tbe , 4 ib inst .: : ' Whilst the attention of civilised Europe is turned with mingled indignation and pity towards the Neapolitan government , and its miserable agents , the grand criminal court has again been the scene of fresh injustice and cruelty . I have already re . ferred to the ^ trials , called " the 5 th of September , " when the camarilla , sent a prie 9 t , with a mob of paid lazzaroni into the streets shouting , " Down with tbe constitution . " The men who opposed this revolutionary band ( that is the leaders ) have received their final sentence from those who judged Poerio and his companions , and twenty-five are condemned te various periods at the galleyB , which , put . together , makes 500 years in irons ; the only offence

      being a fight with a mob of men who ought precisely , according to law , to occupy their places and wear their chains . But this is not all—observe the illegality . On the 25 th of August , t *> e president Judge Navaro was ill . As there were supplementary judges the sentence might have been delivered without the notorious pollutor of justice . But no—Navaro knew his companions were divided , and he wished to be . present . There were out of the eight four for acquittal . One of these men , Amato , unwilling to sell his . conscience , either was ill , or feigned illness , wheranpon Navaro , who bad now recovered , appointed Morelli in his place—a man conspicuous for what is here termed "loyalty . " The president had now his majority , and the result was as I have stated above , a condemnation of twentyfive to irons . These unhappy men are all of the lower class . , . .

      'The triaUof May 15 th , 1848 , have advanced a step . I should observe , this group of prisoners , some of whom have been in dungeons for nearly two years , consists of forty-five individuals ; two were ministers of the crown , and the reBt were members of parliament and men of property . The Atto di Accusa charges "them with " conspiring against the internal security of the state ; for the purpose of destroying or changing the actual form of government , by exciting the subjects and

      inhabitants of tbe kingdom to arm themselves against the royal authority , as well as having actually prodnced civil war between the inhabitants of the same population—offences consummated in the capital on the 15 th of May , 1848 , according to the penal laws 123 , 129 . " Does it ever occur to the members of the Neapolitan government , that this accusation would precisely apply to themselves , as de jure they are constitutional ministers who , for more than two years , have systematically " destroyed and changed the actual form of government . " ' ¦ .

      His Neapolitan Majesty very narrowly . escaped death on Saturday last .. The king was driving some members of tbe royal family in the vicinity of the Caserta Rail way , and was about to cross the line , not observing a train was rapidly advancing , A countryman rushed forward and held the horses ' heads , to the great consternation of his Majesty , who , not perceiving the danger , imagined a hostile intention on the part of the man who was in fact saving bis life . 'Late accounts from the scene of the terrible

      earthquake by no means diminish the accredited extent of loss of life and property , JJo to the pte « sent moment tbe government is unable to publish the returns , as excavations continue . Every assistance has been offered to the sufferers , and we have concerts and theatrical representations in aid of the inhabitants of Melfi , so many of whom are homeless and in poverty . ' I should observe , the Neapolitan government is using artfnl exertions to buy up if possible everyone who has any connexion with the press . As they have taken up a line of defence , you may expect any amount of falsehood . "Why did not Mr . Gladstone go to the King ? " is the cry of the camarilla . Mr . B . Cocbrane did go to the Kina ; . '

      • P . S . —The latest accounts from the island of Ischia states that Poerio is still in bed * chained to the wall . His companion , Pironti , is equally cruelly treated . This is the mode of puniahiujr . prisoners whose only offence was that of believing in the King's solemn oath . PioNono is the special , adviser of . Ferdinando II ., and Ferdinando is the special favourite of the Pope ! Birds of a featherlet us say . fiends of a feather , &c . ' NAPLES . —The . infamous Pecchemeda , the minister of police , continues his course , and prosecutes his war of vengeance against constitutional

      opinion with a vigour worthy of a better cause . More illegal arrests , and fresh degradations of the courts of justice , followed each other hot and fast . ' A man named Avemns , one of the . condemned of the trials called those of September 5 , declared in the public court-yard of the prisoner that his statements were all false ; that to save himself he had said what the police agent told him to say ; in fact , that he had allowed himself to be corruptea . _ Shortiy . after , his irons were taken off and he received the royal pardon . His companions were removed to Ischia . An unknown example of injustice characterised this trial , since the judges

      actually condemned to irons for periods of twenty and twenty-five years tome men for whom the public prosecutor only asked a slight correctional sentence . Tbe ' Genoa Gazette' of the 12 th inat . quotes the following under date Nice , tbe 10 th — ' At about eleven o ' clock on Saturday uigbt , a band of forty-eig ht peasants from the county of Nice were returning from Broe ' , , a French village , close t o the frontier , with a quantity of salt , the price of wbicb in France is one half , less than in Piedmont . Tbe Customs officers , to the number of thirty-eight , having opposed their passage , a dreadful collision ensued , in which twelve of the peasants were killed . Some of the Customs officers were slightly wounded . '

      GERMANY . The ' Hanover Zeitung' communicates the following resolution of the Bund , under the date of the 23 rd of August : — « The Federal Assembly demands of the several federal governments to examine the institutions that have been called into existence since 1848 ; and , if they should not be found in harmony with the constitution of the Bund , to make the requisite alterations without delay . In case any governments should meet with hindrances in

      carrying out this object in a constitutional way , they will have to consider whether it will be necessary to have a commission from the Bund to effect their purpose . The Bund has determined to appoint a committee to make' a report on such caseB , and also with all expedition to draw up the plan of 8 , federal law of the press to oppose and correct the at present prevailing abuses of the press . ' Two or three ambassadors , the Hanoverian paper adds , pleaded want of instructions for not acceding to this resolution . '

      The protest of Count Furstenburg , against tbe convocation of the Diets , appears to have made great , sensation in the Rhine country . This protest has been followed by another , that of M . Bethman Hollweg . Count Furstenbnrg is known as almost an ultra-conservative , which greatly increases tbe significance of his protest , and a correspondence from Cologne asserts that this act which was announced at the Count ' s own request in the 'Cologne Gazette , ' -to which publication be had been formerly unfriendly , has greatly augmented the opposition to the Diet in the Rhine provinces . In Cologne out of one tboaaand electors only sixty have appeared . '

      - A letter from Malta , dated 12 th of September , gay 8— 'By the French steamer which arrived yeBterday from Constantinople we have received the welcome intelligence of the liberation of Kossuth and his companions from Kutajah on the 1 st inat . -The Mississippi had arrived safely at ¦ Constantinople . Its cabins were fitted up in the most elegant manner , so as to accommodate Kossuth , bis family , and all his party . A Turkish steamer was to leave at once for Giemeleck to take them on board and convey them to the Dardanelles , where the Mississippi was to be in readiness to receive them . Nothing could exceed the kindness ; the attentions of the Turkish government . The Pacha of Broussa , in

      accordance with orders forwarded to him from Constantinople , sent no less than fifty carriages to con . vey < the exiles to the point of their embarcation . Among those mentioned as likely to accompany Kossuth , we find the well-known names of the two Perczels , of . Vissowaki , a > general , and of Asboth . His secretary and physician will also go with bim . Count Batthiany ' s movements are uncertain . His state of health is such that he is anxious to get to Paris , in order to consult some of the French faculty .

      A hoax upon a large scale , which mi ght have led to serious consequences , was perpetrated on Sunday at the barrier of Cuvette , near tbe Pont de Grenelle , Paris . The directors of the future—or pretended future—national fetes had erected an embryo model , near the bridge of a grand triumphal arch , which , according to their programme , is to adorn the Champs Elysees during the fetes . Not more than 100 carpenters had been employed upon this work During six days of last week a man , representing himself to bean agent of the directors , was installed in an eating-house near the bridge , and ennaged all tte workmen that he could meet with . To every he

      one gave ' a card and number , directing him lo come to the Pont de Grenelle on Sunday , when his particular work would be assigned to him . Accordingly , on that day about 4 , 000 artisans assembled at the bridge . The great contractor and the eatinchouse keeper had both disappeared , and the army of workmen were dispersed by an armed force , to whom , however , tbey appear to have offered not the slightest resistance . As to the motive for this extraordinary proceeding , nothing is known . It is suggested that the only feasible one must have been the hope , on the part of some political party or another , that an insurrection might grow out of a large discontented assemblage . A curious trial took place recently in Paris . On the 26 th of June last as the President was returning from a review loud

      cries of'Vive la Republique' were uttered on the Pont de J ^ na . A man named Leger answered these cries by snouting 'No republic ; ' ' . Down with the republic' He was arrested upon the spot , and a card showing bim to be a member of the society of tbe 10 th of December was found upon his pevBOft . On his trial for the utterance of illegal cries his advocate urged that he was an honest workman , the father of a family , often out of work , but alwa jB the defender of order , and as such be , had been wounded at the barricades .
