      Rostand * Do you not live * *¦ * j" M . Rostand answered , ' I do not lite there , but the office of my firm , is in the place you meDtion . ' Upon this the commissary said : ' You must go on board ; you bad no business to come on shore , - it you stay here any longer , I shall put yoa in prison . ; in the meantime I shall arrest all those who allowed you to get so far a ? thi 3 . If you want any satisfaction , you must apply to your minister / There was no help for it . M . Rostand had to return to the

      steamer aa fast as he could , and with the steamer he had to come on here . It appears that the sins urged against M . Rostand consisted in the part taken by the Rostand steamers in carrying ammunition and guns from Marseilles and Malta to Sicily during the late Sicilian revolution . But does this justify the conduct of the Neapolitan government to M . Roatand . And will the French government suffer with impunity such an insult to one of its subjects . '

      UNITED STATES . We have had advices up to the 22 nd ult . Extensive preparations have been made for the reception of Kossuth , not onl y in New York , but in many other cities . He will be welcomed with civic and military pageants and popular enthusiasm unexampled . The examination of tbe parties arrested for being engaged in the late rescue of a fugitive slave at Syracuse , N . Y ., has been concluded , and five whites and three blacks have been held fur trial ) not on tbe charge of treason , but of misdemeanour , in violating the fugitive Slave Law . The bail for the whites has beeen fixed at 2 , 000 dollars each , and for the blacks at 500 dollars . It is expected that more arrests will be made .

      The Illinois has arrived at New York from California with one million eight hundred thousand dollars in gold dust , This arrival sensibly affected ( he market , and as we have intelligence that equally large remittances are on the way to the United States , by other steamers , the financial difficulties of which we spoke in a former number are tempo rarily removed , On a review of the news brough by the Illinois , it appears that business was exceedingly dull at San Francisco , but that the miners were making more money than ever . The trade to China , by means of clipper-built ships , was rapidly improving . The Americans are . congratulating themselves on the sudden emigration from California to Australia , in consequence of the discovery of the gold there .

      Tbe immediate secessionists in Seuth Carolina have met with an overwhelming defeat at the late election . We may consider them as entirely hors de combat . One of tbe military spectacles in which the Americans so much deli ght took place on the 21 st UK , What is termed the first New York division of the militia turned out to be reviewed by the governor of the state . Twelve regiments appeared in full uniform , with their respective bands , and the streets were lined with gratified spectators . There is an irregular volunteer force in this city , not belonging to the regular militia , which'is constantly seen in detachments , going on target excursions , that are 12 , 000 in number besides . It is supposed that the city of New York could bring into the field , in three days , 75 , 000 men , armed and equipped fer active service . . , . .

      CANADA . The Canadian cabinet is at last arranged 33 follows : —President of Council , Malcolm Cameron ; Commissioner of Crown Lands , Dr . Rolph ; Inspector-General , Hon . P . Hiucks ; Postmaster-General , Hon . W . Morris ; Provincial Secretary , Mr . Morin ; Attorney-General for Canada East , Mr . L . Drummond ; for Canada West , W . B . Richards ; Solicitor-General for Canada East , Mr . Cartier ; for Canada West , Hon . John Ross ; Receiver-General , Mr . Tache . The tory press are in a rage at the appointment of Dr . Rolph to a place in the government ; on the other band the ultra radicals regard his alliance with Mr . Hincka as an act of treason to progressive principles .

      The ceremony of turning the first sod on the Toronto and Lake Huron railway took p lace at Toronto on the 15 th October in the presence of an immense multitude . The Countess of Elgin turned tbe sod with a silver spade , and Lord Elg in wheeled it off in a barrow not of silver , MEXICO . By telegraphic despatches from New Orleans at New York , we have the following information rerespecting the revolution in northern Mexico . On the 16 th October Carrajal was within ten miles of Matamoras with a very large forcet numbering , it is said , not less than 10 , 000 men , including about 400 Texan rangers . It was fully expected that he would attack tbe city on the following morning . Tbe onl y force the Mexicans relied upon for defence was a band of Indians commanded by Wild Cat , the Seminole chief .

      CHILI . The ' Panama Star' contains an account of the arrival of a French brig , the Marie Louise , from Callao , whence she sailed on the 20 th September . The steamer Chili has just arrived in that harbour from Valparaiso , bringing the important but unpleasant information that a revolution had broken out in Chili , and that many of the troops had declared in favour of General Santa Cruz for president , that Coqnimbo and other cities were in possession of the new party , and that everything throughout the republic was in a disorganised state .

      THE KAFFIR WAR . Plymouth , Wednesday , Nov . 5 . —The General Steam Screw Shipping Company ' s fine steamship DO 8 pborus , Captain J . V . Hall , arrived here this morning , having made a splendid passage of only thirty-five days . The intelligence from the frontier is still more alarming than that by the BirKenhead , the revolt and disturbances having spread from the moulh ot the Buffalo to Mosbeth ' 8 country and the Basutos . An aggravating feature in the last fatal attack on our troops , by combined Hottentots and Kaffirs , was the employment l > y Use fotaftt of fierce dogs , which pulled dawn several of our troops , and rendered them an easy prey to the clubs of their enemies .

      Captain Oldham and many men of the 2 nd Queen ' s Regiment have been slain , and the 74 th has lost some men . The severe losses of the British troops on the 9 th of September have induced the inhabitants of Graham ' s Town to make a demonstration of their strength . Accordingl y , on the 18 th a muster of the adult population took place , and they formed a single line of cavalry and a double line of infantry on the town lands . On tbe 20 h they were to muster again , to elect officers , preparatory for any attack by the Kaffirs , They were in great want of artillery .

      Bread has risen to 50 per cent , at the Cape , and a further rise is expected on the arrival of more troopa .

A new progresista evening paper ,, of greater dimensions than are usual iii Madrid , has appeared , ltis very vigorously written , and as it is addressed to the common understanding and is cheap enough for village parses , it has obtained a very great circulation .

A letter from Vienna , dated the 24 th ult ., published in the ' Ausburg Gazette , ' announces an approaching interview between the Emperor of Austria and the King of Naples . It says : ' It is most likel y that the King aud Queen of Naples will arrive here ( Vienna ) as soon as the Emperor re'urns from Galicia .

      A melancholy account has reached us ot the terrible effects of the recent gale in the vicinity of Nova Scotia . The remains of sixty persons who were lost during the storm are said to have been buried iu one grave . No less than one hundred and sixty vessels , of all kinds , are reported to have been wrecked , among which we notice one Russian ship stranded and condemned , and one English ship said to be buried in the sand .

      FRANCE . The French minister at Berne has received injtiudions from his government to present energetic remonstrances to the Swiss government on the accumulation of democratic emigrants who are ready vrithia the Swiss frontier to take advantage of the first outbreak to join the expected rising in France , These instructions are said to have been Bent in contequence of discoveries made in the investigation of

      the Riots of the Cher and AHier . Four Buerabers of tbe Mountain , MM . Grenpo , Jfadkug , LftTO \« , vain Sartra , having visited Mouhns together have been , during the whole of their stay , dogged by a sort of escort of gendarmes , who n « ver Jet these representatives out of sight A Liberal © ember of the French p arliament is subjected to as Close a surveillance by the authorities as a distinguished member of the swell mob in London by Sow-street officers . . ..

      The . number of persons now in prison on the charge of having been concerned in the late riots in tbe department of the Cber exceeds 100 , most of whom will , it is said , be brought before a courtgjartial . . . , The Presidential candidateship of M . Ledru-Rollin is'beginning to be placed on the order of the day in some quarters of Paris . For some days past great activity has been displayed on this subject by persons attached to a so-called revolutionary journal . Jhe workmen do not appear much disposed to exert themselves in favour of any personal ambition , but they declare that they are resolved to exercise their electoral right in 1852 .

      The new minister of viir , General St . Arnaud , fcis ' addressed a circular to the geneiata commanding tbe territorial divisions , in which he says : — 1 , more than ever , true military spirit may secure the salvation of society . But this confidence \ shieb . the army inspires it owes to its discipline ; and we all know , General , that there would be no discipline in an army where the dogma of passive obedience should ire replaced by the right of examination . An order being discussed leads to hesitation , and hesitation to defeat . Under arms , military rule is the outy Jaw . The responsibility Which constitutes military force and authority is not divided ; it belongs to tbe chief , from whom toe order emanates , and it covers obedience and execution through all ranks . In this simple principle , which is the soul of discipline , resides the

      Source of prodigies of valour and devotion . If , before an enemy , discipline thus understood has always been one ot tbe secrets of victory , in intestine strugglee it also secures the triumph of order . One cannot choose one ' s time ; opt fathers , more happy than we , aaw -public' rifaer revive and strengthen itself under the reflection of military g lory . It is to the defence of civilisation that we jjow owe our blood and our watchfulness . Be , therefore , ready for all , and whether it be to defend abroad the honour of our arms in the name of tbe Country , or at home when society in peril should seek for our firm support , let these sentiments which animate me , and which are also your own , and which are felt in the ranks of the army , maintain it equal to its double mission . Receive , General , the assurance of my most distinguished consideration . —Tbe Minister of War . '

      General d'Alphonso , commander of the Cher , Under state of siege , has published two decrees , the first of which interdicts all political meetings , singing of revolutionary sengs , agitation of foreigners , sale of powder , and detention of arms ; til rural taverns are to be closed at nine in the evening , and cafes in the towna at ten . The other edicts dissolves the national guard . An arrest of considerable importance has been effected in relation to the riots of the Cher and JKfiVre . The Viscount de Dreuille , a young legiti . mist , was arrested on Saturday , in his yacht , at Houflj'jr , aud conveyed to Paris . Two country

      mansions belonging to this family , one in tbe Wivernais , and the other in Burgundy , have been Searched , and a quantity of ammunition and sixteen bullet moulds were found . M . de Dreuille only last year succeeded to an income ot - £ 4 , 000 per annum . During the time of the provisional government he is said to have frequented democratic clubs , but since his accession of fortune it has always been thought that be bad resumed his place in the ranks of the most aristocratic legitimists . On bis arrival in custody at his residence in the Rue Richer , he begged to see the Minister of the Interior , before being conducted to prison at Sources .

      The citizen Blanqui complains that all his correspondence is regularly seized at the Lille post-Qffice . THE PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE . PARK , Tuesday . —The President ' s Message has bees presented to the National Assembly . It announces the existence of a Democratic consp iracy in France and in Europe . It slates ihat the government has been compelled to place two departments in a state of siege where there bad beeu attempts at a ' Jacquerie / It further states that the finances of the country ire in as favourable a condition as circumstances will permit , and that Prince Albert and the English pation have g iven a generous reception to the representatives of French industry .

      The President recommends the repeal of the law of the 31 st of May as the only means of obtaining a legal solution of the difficulties with which the future is fraught . After the Message a draught of a bill prepared in the above sense by the Ministers was submitted to the Assembly , and the urgenee demanded for its discussion . M . Berryer opposed tbe motion , and tbe urgenee was finally rejected by the Assembly .

      Paris , v , ednesday . —The following are the names of the president and vice-presidents elected yesterday : M . Dupin . president ; M . M . Bedeau , J ) aru , and Benoits d'Azy , vice-presidents . ^ The Assembly ' s vote of yesterday , by which urgency for the new electoral bill was rejected , implies not onl y the defeat of the ministry on tbe cardinal pniat of its policy , but tbe rejection of the bill in its fust stage . This is the prologue to endless delav .

      This \ ote is , indeed , the first blow in a tremendous struggle between the conservative league , composed of the regentists and legitimists , against the President , backfd by the Left and the extreme Sig ht , while the party of the ' Journal des Debats , ' forming the bulk of the club of the Pmxnides , waver in a position of neutrality . The meeting at M . Darn ' s last night is the first step taken to shield the government from the fury of the new conservative opposition , led by Berryer and Thiera . Every day tin ' s opposition must , by the force of things , become weaker . There will be such demonstrations throughout tbe country as will show that such an attitude on the side of the parliament can only lead to civil war ; for tbe Ian- of May 31 is doomed , and delay in its abrogation will Hot be brooked by the democratic party .

      ITALY . ROME . —Our advices from Rome are to the 24 th ult . They stste that a few days ago a prisoner named Corsi was in ormed by a gendarme that his room " was to he subjected to a rigorous search , to which Corsi replied , that be was perfectly ready , and requesied that two witnesses might be present during "the operation—the gendarme objected to this , and was for commencing immediately , had not the prisoner remonstrated , stating that , if no Witnesses were present , things might be laid to his charge of ffhicb he was by no means guilty . Irritated at this insinuation the gendarme entered into ^ Violent altercation with Corsi , and struck him a *» leot blo « on the head , inn sciing a wound of such gravity that the unfortunate prisoner had to be transported to the infirmary , where the surgeon ,

      to screen the gendarme , made no report on the case- - As sucli a thing could not be long hidden , however , it came to tbe knowledge of the prison tttthonties , Who punished the surgeon for his negligence by a simple admonition , whilst the gendarme was apparently chastised by being removed from the prison service , but , in reality , rewarded by beinj ; transferred , nto the horse gendarmerie , a step onully looked upon as a proraotiou b y the mttnben Of that corps .

      them , has just been illustrated by so striking an example that it would be incredible in any other country but this . Our readers , may recollect that a great B 3 maiion was produced-about a year ago , in learned and archeological . circles , by the discovery that the valuable collection of metala at the Vatican bad been plundered of some of its rarest treasures in the way of gold coins . The republican authorities were of course immediately charged , with haying committed this robbery ; but , upon a Uriel judicial inquiry into the matter , the real delinquent was found to be Signor Diamiila , a protege of Cardinal Lambruscbini's , a devoted creature of the tiero faction , who owed the official sitastion he held in the

      library to the influence of the cardinal . The offence was so glaring that even apostolic mildness could not overlook it and Signor Diamiila was convicted and condemned to the galleys for twenty years . Meanwhile poor Monsignor Laureani , tbe head librarian , and a man of very considerable merit , took so much to heart the charge of negligence , which was naturally brought against him for not having kept a sharper look out over his subordinates , that he fell ill and died , his death being universally attributed to his exceeding grief at the occurrence . When the culprit Diarailla was imprisoned , bis father , who occupies the post of chief usher , at the papal court , was beard to thank God that his son

      was accused neither of political nor religious offences , as every other kind of transgression could be got over with time and influence . In the castle of St . Angelo , Diamiila immediately endeavoured to atone for his crime , by commencing tbe part of prison spy , and his society was in consequence cautiously avoided by the political deterim . After tbe removal of the prisoners from the castle to other places of confinement , the worthy amateur of medals devoted his leisure hours to the composition or an article in support of the papacy , which appeared two Or three months ago in the ' Arcadian Journal . ' The papal throne must indeed be reduced when it is forced to have recourse to tbe homage of robbers and galley slaves The repentant efforts of Signor

      Diamiila have not been unnoticed , and the significant prediction of his father has just been , verified fiy tbe clemency of Pio Nono . That benevolent pont . ff , at the suggestion of several influential prelates , has been pleased to pardon the culprit , who is now actually at liberty , and will be provided with a passport for leaving the country in a day or two , and will probably serve his government as spy in foreign parts and very likely earn , a pension by the importance . of his revelations . Will Colonel Calandrelli , whose term of condemnation for moat trifling and unproved peculations was likewise twenty years ' imprisonment , meet with equal indulgence ? Or the young men who made the Bengal li g hts , only one of whom has been pardoned aa yet ? Let ns hope so , for the credit of his Holiness .

      From a notification of the 25 th ult ., published at Venice , we learn that Count Agostino Guerrieri , of Verona , late of the 9 th Regiment of Austrian Hussars , convicted of having , two months ago , received an anonymous letter from revolutionary parties , and of not having given it up to the authorities ; and Baron Lutti , convicted of having advised Count Guerrrieri to burn the said letter , and aiding him in so doing , have been condemned , on the count of high treason , the former to ten , and the latter to two years' imprisonment in a fortress . It is added that Count fiadetzky has reduced these sentences to half their term .

      LOMBARD ! , —The Austrian government has prohibited , throughout the Lombard-Venetian kingdom , the conveyance of the Piedmontese journal ' Opinione' through the post , not only for the interior , but on Ub passage to foreign countries . The government has carried its spite to such absurd lengths as to prohibit subscriptions from being received at the Milan post-office , paid on account of the ' Opinione' for Austrian newspapers , and papers addressed to the ' Opinione ' 'from being forwarded to the office of that journal . The ' Opinione ' is not a radical , but , as every one knows , a monarchic constitutional organ .

      GERMANY . The ' Constitutionelle Zeitung' of Dresden of tbe 27 iu ult ., which published a report of the Westminster meeting in honour of M . Kossuth , was seized and suppressed by the police , by order of the Minister of the Interior . The journal states ( hat it gave only an abstract of the proceedings and expressed no opinion of its own on the subject of the debatp , and denies that the matter seized comes under the pr ovision of the law on the authority of which the minister issued the order . The official 'Dresriener Journal' condenses all the reports of the proceedings in England , at Southampton and elsewhere , to

      half a line , staling that' M . Kossuth had haded' at the above-named port . Within a month five different works , published by the firm of Otto Wigand and Co ,, at Leipzig , have been seized , and the i » le prohibited . Among them is the work of General Klapka on the war in Hungary and in the Siebenburgeu . M' Wigand intended to make a ssrong representation to the government of the ruin such seizures would bring on tbe publishing business , which employs in Leipzi g an immense number of in * dividuajs . Immediately after Klapk& ' s Viork bad been seized and put under the seal of tbe police , an order for it arrived from Marshal iiadetzki . In

      the month of June last no lets than thirty-two Ger man works were prohibited by the Russian govern meat , some of them the same as those recently pro hibited by the Papal States .

      SWEDEN . Frequent allusions have been made to discussions which have arisen in Sweden between the chambers of the clergy and tbe nobility on the one hand , and those of the peasants and bur ^ esBes on the other , on the subjects of some reforms proposed by the government , and which had been adopted by thfi latter orders , and rejected by the former . The cltrgy and the nobility have just gained the decided advantage . The crown has leaned to their side , and has just modified the cabinet by dismissing one of the ministers as more especially representing the party of progress . Count Goran Detlof-Moerker , Minister of Finance , has been replaced by Baron Othon P « lmstiema , a member of the retrogade party . Count Detlof-Moerkerbas , however , been named a member ot the council of state , with a consultative rote .

      SPAIN . Madmd . —This unhappy country is already beginning to feel the effects of the power so impru dently given to the clergy , Tbe ' Gazette' contains the following royal order . ' On account of the antisocial and irreli g ious character of the periodical published in this city under ibe title of the " Europa , " the Queen has been p leased to order , in accordance with the opinion of the council of ministers , that the said p eriodical be suppressed . ( Signet )) Bertkan de Lis . ' This royal order was given , we are informed , somewhat reluctantly , in pursuance of tbe urgent demands of the Pope ' s nuncio Monsignor Brunelli , whose attention bad been called by the Spanish clergy to several well-written articles in

      the Europa- on the concordat , and to one especially in favour of the national guard , and in which the clergy and their tendencies are veTy severely handJedi This is not , unfortunately , the only example of clerical tyranny . The Professor of Natural Philosophy in one of the principal universities of Spain has been deprived of bis professorship , in consequence of ibe complaints of tbe Bishop of Orense , who accused the professor of heretical doctrines : The suppression of the ' Europa is attributed by the friends of the government to the fact that information had been received that the journal was supported by the funds of the Mazzini party , that it was about to be published , at a piceta a month , and that extensive distributions were to be made of it

Mr . Staco believes ho has a perfect defence to make to the charge , and if the wholo case had been gone into to-day , I have no doubt the court would have been unanimous

      in uiEnussing it . 1 am , however most anxious to say , as it might be to the prejudice of the defendant , that I trust those parties whose attention may be drawn to the case , will for the present suspend their judgment .
