PAD,D3, Tuesday, February 1801, 1868.—The de
tails of such a measure as the French law of the
press, now passing through the Chamber, present
in general but little interest to the foreign reader.
Now and then, however, during the discussion
an incident croPs out which is worth attention as
illustrative of the character and principles of the
power which now holds sway in this country. And
such an incident is that which occurred the other
day respecting the mode of appointing the judges
who try political prosecutions against individuals
or the Press. These trials take place in what is
called the Sixth Chamber, or Correctional Police
Court. By a regulation of the French Courts in
Paris, none of the Judges are allowed to sit more
than two years consecutively in the same Court,
but are changed from one to the other by rota
tion. Bet the order of rotation was always fixed
by the Judges themselves, without the inter
ference of the Government, up to the year 1859.
In that year, however, the Government, by a
simple imperial decree, completely upset the
above regulation, and ordered that the rota
tion of the Judges shotild be fixed, not by
the Judges themselves, but by the Brocurcur,
or, as we should say, Attorney-General of the
Government and the Minister of Justice.. or
course, the motive for such a change was evident.
It was simply to enable the Administration to
nominate such Judges for the Sixth Chamber as
would be most likely, by their known political
feelings and character, to insure convictions in
such cases and visit the offenders severely. It is
unnecessary to point out what a gross perversion
of the principles of justice and tainting of the
very fountain-head of equity this unseemly ma
ecouvre of the Administration Involved, to say
nothing of the imputation which it im
plied upon the integrity of the judicial
, dharacter. The decree itself was little known to
the general public; but its consequencee were
made pretty evident the other day, in the Cham
ber, where,as I mentioned at the time,M. Eugene
Pelletan showed that In this same Sixth Chamber
there bad been just forty-one political prosecu
tions and forty-one conviction& It cannot be
denied, therefore, that the Government system
has at least worked successfully !
Well, When the tribunal for press offences came
under consideration in the present bill, M.
Berryer, the esteemed and respected leader
of the, Paris bar, was entrusted to
ehow ' up this flagrant outrage upon
the dignity and impartiality of the courts of
justice. This he did most effectually,characterie.
hog the action of the government in the matter as
abcminable and intolerable and a perversion of
the very first principles ofjCuffice. The Attorney-
General, he said, was the man who instituted
these prosecutions, and he saw it was who
cominated the judges to try the cases. To the
Governueent also these, same judges looked for
promotion. Upon this latter head, M. Berryer,
having been unwisely challenged by the Minister
to make good his insinuation—took a list of the
Presiding Judges of the Sixth Chamber since
1859, and showed that trery one these 3.tagi4-
atcs, without a single exception,hud received pro
motion and emolument within a year after his
nomination.
Coupling this fact with that of theconvictioss
announced by M. Pelletan,there can be no doubt,
I: think, of what the practical working of 'the
Sixth Chamber has been. The Government must
have been'thoroughly ashamed of this exposure.
Nevertheless it would not yield the point nor give
up its obnoxious privilege. The servile ma
jority, as usual, rallied round any measure calcu
lated to stifle free expression of opinion, and re
jected, by 173 votes to 48, the proposed amend
went for choosing the judgespf political cases by
lot. A large number of the more respectable
supporters of the Government abstained, how
ever, from voting at all, and M. Thiers, in a warn
ing voice, next day called upon the Ministers to
beware lest the minority in the Chamber should
come. without their being aware of it(as in 1618),
to represent a majority in the country. As
suredly such will eventually be the case if the
Government thus tampers with justice, with the
finances, with home and foreign policy, with
everything in fact, in a manner at once so little
creditable and so unsuccessfuL
We are still a good deal occupied here in
American circles with the prospect of trouble
with England. The better opinion certainly is
both opposed to such a donflict and also incredu
lous of its taking place. Still there is uneasiness
and uncertainty omethe subject amongst us;
and I am also now frequently interrogated
respecting it by people of this country who are
friendly disposed towards America and take an in
terest in her affairs. And this reminds me that I
must beg leave quite to differ with one of your co
temporaries, the New York Tiszeg,when he states
broadly that "war with England means now war
with England and France combined." A greater
error could scarcely have been fallen into than in
the nee ofthe little particle which I have under
! lined. "Nei" and "then" jest make all the differ
ence in •the question at lEDIIO. During the war, or
even daring the Mexican expedition, France
might have been, unwillingly indeed, dragged by
her government into such a combination against
America. But "now," never. The French
people have had enough of intervention in Ame
rica, and the utmost the Emperor would be able
or would dare to do for his ally across the chan
nel in such an eventuality, would be to offer, as
I dare say he would, his mediation.
We are shortly promised a work, the appear
ance of which will be an epoch in the literary
and political world. The will of Talleyrand con
tains, as is well known, the followthg direction
on the subject of the papers ho left behind him :
"My Reminiscences," it says, "which have been
long since • written, and which I hereby desire
shall not be published until thirty years atter my
decease, will explain,ao posterity my' conduct
during the revolutionary tempest." The cele
brated ex-bishop and diplomatist died on the
17th of May, 1838, in the same house in the Rae
St. Florentine in which, in 1814, ho
received the Emperor = " Alexander of
Russia. The limit imposed upon the publication
of his memoirs is therefore, it will be seen, nearly
expired. With regard to what the wily old poli
tician says of himself and his conduct," it will,
of course, be necessary to be o one's guard, but
if he out, and is publ hed without too
much application of the scissors,-it Will be won

haps, was his telescopic reflector, which made
h;na known to all the observatories of the world.
But one of his most popular experiments was
the demonstration of the. earth's motion by
means of a gigantic pendulum, suspended from
the dome inside the Pantheon of Paris, and
which some ten or twelve years ago the whole
population was Hocking to ace. The deceased
was buried yesterday, and was followed to the
grave by deputations from all the scientific
bodies.
We are just treated M a now cab
tariff, which runs over a column and a half
of the Moniteur. It is a curious document,
and evidently not intended for the edification of
strangers, at least trans-Atlantic strangers. The
tariff is "kilometric," and the cabs which adopt
it must have a "kilometric and horary counter,'
which must mark the "real" distance when the
cab is in motion, and the "fictive" distance when
the 'Cab stands still! There is a. gTeat deal more
of the same sort, equally intelligible and practi
cal; and one thinks one sees and hears the nice
little disputes about "real" and "fictive" dis
tances which will ensue between cabby and his
fares. The only intelligible regulation laid down
is one which is sure not to be observed, viz: that
cabs shall drive 8 kilometres, or about 6 miles per
hour, which Paris cabs are quite certain not to
do at any price, and still less for 85 centimes for
the first kilometre, and 25 for each succeeding
one.
PARIS, Friday, Feb. 21, 1865.—The intelligence
brought by more recent arrivals from the United
States has already a good deal modified the feel
ing to which I alluded in my last letter, respecting
the relations with England. The language of
President Johnson is generally interpreted as In
dicating a more conciliatory policy than had been
attributed to him, and not a desire to push mat
ters to extremities. Certainly the President was
not called upon to express his hopes of an
amicable arrangement of the existing difficulties
between the two countries, unless hel really en
tertained such, and desired to see them realized.
On the contrary, as is generally re marked here
in French circles, he might have seized upon the
opportunity of the official reception of the British
Minister to throw oat a trumpet note both to
England and to Europe (as Napoleon 111. did to
Austria, on New Year's Day), and have merely
"regretted" that the "misunderstanding" w ith
Great Britain was as bad as it was. Noth
ing of the sort, however, occurred. and
the absence of it is, I think, regarded
as a general source of satisfaction by
American residents here, and most assuredly
so by our French friends. A conflict between
England and the United States would be a great
source of embarrassinent to all parties here, both
politically • and commercially. For "liberal
Franee," the France that still lives and hopes for
liberty, has need of the united sympathy and ex
amples of both countries ; and to see them at
deadly is.sue on very inadequate grounds would
be a death blow to the moral support which all
that is beet and- • most worthy in
France looks 'for at their hands. The
commercial world, ou the other hand, which
is only just beginning timidly to regain
some little confidence with respect to continental
affairs, was thrown Into a. fresh convulsion of
alarm at the bare idea of all the unforeseen com
plications which might arise out of maritime war
fare cat ried on over every sea, and on such a scale
us would be sure to be the case in a great naval
struggle between Great Britain and the United
States. The French people are both less fond of
fighting and seeing others fight than they were,
and would greatly prefer that nothing interfere at
this mordent to check the reviving activity of af
fairs at Lyons and Mulhouse, or the snug business
of I a good marry millions sterling per annum
which (ha spite of their grumbling over the com
mercial treaty) they are quite conscious of doing
with their neighbors across the Channel.
We are all, therefore, I think, considerably re
lieved by the import of the above tidings and the
more pacific constructions which have been put
upon them. This is the more satisfactory be
cause, in other respects, though the European
horizon is hazy, there is nothing to indicate the
approach of any serious perturbations. There
is a good deal of talk about troubles and
movements of troops in Servia; Mol
davia, Bessarabia, and such out-lying
places; but, it may be asked, when is such not the
case? The crossing of the French frontier at
Strasbourg by a number of refugee Hanoverians,
provided with Austrian passports, has given um
brage to Prussia. But the former power declares
the passports to have been given by the police,
without any consultation with the authorities at
Vienna. And the aloniteue has explained that
the imperial government simply disarmed these
political and military refugees, and ordered their
withdrawal into the interior. King George of
Hanover has made a speech which reminds one
that he is the grandson of poor old George III.;
but tells a tale, too, of how far the worldly Count
Bismaick has gone' ahead since the days of what
used once to be called the "old •times before the.
war."
A curious addition,. or at least new arrage
went, has just been made in the French Archives.
It consists of the famous official Registers of the
Bastille. There wore three great books kept in
that prison. In one of these the prisoneri signed
his name to a list of the articles found upon him
on his arrival, and which were all deposited in a
vast chamber, and ticketed with the number of his
dungeon. A second book contained the names
of all the persons under confinement, with the ox.
pensea of each, and was submitted monthly to
the Minister of State. The third book contained,
amongst other things, a complete epitome of the
life of each prisoner, his sayings, doings, con
duct, bearing, all that could be obtained by in
terrogation, or private watching, or listening at
his cell. One column of this book, notifying the
(rare) exception of a prisoner's liberation, shows
that a promise was previously exacted "never to
levcal any thing he had seen inside the wails," as
well as an expression of "deep gratitude" for
the goodness of the king in letting him out !
It is not known that many Frfoich speakers
take infinite pains in revising, as they have a
•right to do, their'speeches before they appear in
the Moniteur. Thus M. Thiers generally passes
the greater part of the night in the office of the
official journal, when he has addressed the Cham
ber during the day. There he sits, sipping cups
of chocolate, and putting the highest finish upon
his own extemporary orations : No, wonder his
speeches "read" so remarkably well, for they are
in reality "written" as well as spoken. M. Finite
011ivier is equally careful (of his own reputation),
and with a similar result. Ilut Jules Favre's
Speeches are, just as correct in language, without

ho did the other day, that to - ;o back to his
speech alter it was, spoken would he like "re

The vessel of the French Trans-Atlantic Corn
pany, the Ville de Paris, a Clyde-built boat, ap
pears to have made a fine run in her :est trir.
from New York to Brest. On the fourth day out
she fell in with a tremendous ice pack, extending
far out of eight on every side. On investigation,
it was found that the lee, though of the consider
able thickness of from half a yard to three
quarters, was generally without adhesion or emu
pectness. The captain, therefore, put his vessel
into one of the tracks leading through
the mass, and after some twelve hours
ticklish steering at half-speed, succeeded in
reaching open water In safety on the other side.
He then clapped on all steam to make up for lost
time, and performing some 350 knots in the
twenty-four hours, succeeded in bringing his
vessel to anchor in the roadstead of Brest in six
days and sixteen hours from his departure,
having averaged a speed of fourteen knots and a
half, and being forty-seven hours in advance of
regulation time. Every one speaks well of the
comfort of these boats, and with regard to speed
the Pereire and Ville do Paris have little or
nothing to envy in the Cunard line, while the
convenience 'of railing it from Brest to Paris is
certainly a great desideratum for those bound
hither. ,
A valuable economy seems likely to be attained
in the use of fuel for steam purposes by the fabri
cation of a species of coal-brick, for which we
are indebted to two intelligent employes on the
Orleans and Bordeaux line of railway. Both
railroads and manufactories in France have long
employed their coal-dust in the form of bricks; and
hitherto, I believe, the best of the kind have been
made at Havre. But Messrs Gazag,ne and Utule:;,
the employes alluded to, have produced what
are called briquettes boedebtis ,, , , , of a quality, far
superior to any others in point of combustion.
The combination is formed of coal-dust, mixed
with certain fatty and resinous substances, and
the addition of a small quantity of petroleum,
whence the fuel is known here by the name of the
"petroleum brick." The result is a flaming cora
bustible,capable of giving intense heat, and real
izing, it is asserted, an economy of at least one
seventh in the consumption of fuel. This petro
leum brick is applicable to all steam pur
poses, and is about to be adopted universally on
the Mediterranean lines, where coal is so costly
an article.
The imperial staff of the French War Depart
ment have published, in the course of last year,
ten more plates of their magnificent map of
France. The whole work was to consist of '274
portions. Of these 246 have now appeared; and
it is calculated that three more years will suffice
to complete the entire undertaking.

The New British Cabinet—Disraeh on
the Policy of the Government.
LoNpox, raureday, March 5, midnight.—ln
the House of Commons this evening,Mr. Disraeli
appeared for the first time since the resignation
of Lord Derby. Upon entering the House he was
received with loud cheers from both the Govern
ment and Opposition benches.
Mr. Disraeli soon afterward rose. and after gi s.
ing notices of the introduction of certain mea
sures relating to Scotland and Ireland, referred
to the retirement of the Earl of Derby, saying
his colleagues were loth to sever their connection
with suclia leader; no language could express
their estimate of the character and career
of such a chief; and they all most
earnestly hoped for his restoration to health and
power. Mr. Disraeli then proceeded to say:
Her Majclity had been pleased to entrust to him
the task of forming a Government, and he could
not decline the gracious offer, accompanied as it
was by the generous support of his colleagues.
In domestic affairs the policy of Lord Derby
during the last two years of his administration
would be followed by the new Ministry, and in
foreign affairs the policy of Lord Stanley
would be adhered to. This would
be a policy of peace—not one of
Isolation, but one of generous sympathy and re
gard for our own interests and those of other
nations. Such a policy would never lessen the
influence or dignity of England, based as it was
upon esteem and respect. The domestic policy
01 the new Government would be a liberal one—
cheers and laughter t—recognizing national
traits as best securing national institutions. He
regretted the necessity of continuing the suspen
sion of the writ ot' iv/4as cogats in Ireland, but,
as Lord Derby had said on a public occasion,
such action was the only safeguard against un
scrupulous foreign confederation. Such a sus
pension of the privilege of the writ was not in
compatible with the gentle exercise of the law,
and he was of opinion that the grievances of
Irchimrshould be treated with a tender regard for
that country. Affer a few more explanations,
not of general importance, Mr. Disraeli resumed
his seat amid applause.
,fir. Bouverie, member for Kilmarnock, said
the policy of Lord Derby, referred to by the
Premier, was uncertain. If it meant retention
of office only, the new Government would meet
serious opposition.
In the House of Lords to-night the Earl of
Malmesbury said the subject of Irish grievances
would conic up for discussion on Tuesday next.
After announcing the change in the Government,
be 'added that, its
.policy would remain un
altered:
Earl Rinsell declared that no confidence could
be placed in a policy which was saying one thing
and meaning another. He said the Liberal mem
bers had given their support to Lord Derby on
his pledge to bring about a reduction of the fran
chise, but none had in reality been made. Such
a mode of educating a party was unprecedented.
LONDON, Thursday, March 3th.—A. large meet
iDg of the friends of Mr. Disraelitwas held at his
residence last night. Nearly all the lead
ing Tory members of Parliament were present.
The proceedings have not been made public, but
the meeting is regarded as a favorable indication
of the strength of the new Premier.

manly appearance, walked under the arch in the
Place du Carrousel, in the two niches of which
there are sentries on horseback, as at the Horse
Guards, climbed over the railings of the closed
gates with extraordinary dexterity and celerity,
and ran across the spacious courtyard towards
the private entrance to the Tuileries,
on p the left-hand- side towb'rds. the - Seine..
The cavalry sentinels sitting silently solemnly
on their horses, and never expecting to be called
upon for actual duty, did not know what he was
doing. He was perceived from two guardhouses
and pursued, but having a great'start, he got into
the Tuileries first. There he took the Cent-
Guard on duty by surprise, and dashed past him,
saying ho had come on urgent business.- He got
as far as the ante-room of the Emperor's study
before helves arrested. Then he said, "I must
speak to the ladies." Ile was lodged in a
lock-up chamber at the corner of the palace,

According to a correspondent of the Incrpend
ance Beige military preparations arc being urged
forward w:lth extraordinary activity in France.
The National Guard Mobile is• being formed with
worderful hante. "This." hr adds, "is not the
only indication of the anxiety of tbe government
to he prepared for any contingency. The pro
visioning of tits arsenals and , thearmy clothing
stores is vigorously going on. The deficiencies
which were left behind by the administration of
Marshal Randon.will soon be supplied. No doubt
the object is to seenre peace by preparing for war.
But if the old Roman adage be correct, it did not
seem to have the same force before Sadowa as
after that battle. :Tour arsenals and magazines
were then unfurnished it was beeattee they were
emptied principally to carry on the war in
Mexico without being obliged to impose fresh
burdtns on the tax-payers. The security was so
complete that a few , months before the war in
Germanv Marshal Bandon received orders to do
away with even the cadres of the battalions and
Equadrona which were dissolved from motives of
economy. The present war department has re
paired all this. and is taking such vigorous and
active steps that people begin to think that they
are not prompted by something that mayhappen
in the remote future."

ITALY.
Desperate Fight Iletween• the Priests
and People in Padua. .
A Venetian journal gives the following particu
lars of an alarming disturbance In Padua, on the
31st of January.
It was intended to perform a Te Dem in honor
of those who fell at Montana on the Pope's side.
The clergy were busily employed in preparing
the ceremony, a'd the bells were set ringing at.
an curly hour. At noon on the 31st of January,
however, the students issued a manifesto invok
ing maledictions on those who should rejoice
over the innocent blood which was shed on that
occasion.
At four o'clock they assembled in the cathedral
where the ceremony was to take place, and went
up to the priests, who were waiting for the ap
pointed hour to begin. They shouted and roared
in a manner that baffles description; the priests
lied, the candles were extinguished, the curtains
removed, imprecations were called down upon
the Pope, and the hymn of Garibaldi was chanted;
with wild enthusiasm. The National Guards
were called to arms, but they did not make their
appearance. The rector addressed some sympa,
thetic and patriotic words to the students, which
were well • received, but the ' excitement
was too great to allow the matter tO stop here.
They went in a body to the churches of San
Francisco, Santa Lucia and others. At the semi
nary, the matter assumed a more grave aspect.
Here the priests, armed with candle-sticks,
crosses, and other implements which could not
be distinguished in the dark, resisted,--and -in
dicted wounds on several of the students. The
ecclesiastical students were allowed to pass by
without interruption, but the priests were not so.
fortunate, for they were struck at without
merc.y. No life was loot and no serious injury
was done. The only object removed from the
church was a door. which the people paraded
through the streets.
The limps of Venice says that an ecclesiastic
addressed the people in the Cathedral, and told
them that the order for the religions ceremony
had come from Rome. The Ossereatore Romano,
however, denies that any order of the kind had
been issued to the Italian bishops by the Pope..

Letters from tit. r etersbarg (bays the / U, ln oriai

foreign courts. Those declarations appear to be
the more sincere from the fact that Prince Gorts

interest in observing them. The Russian Vice-

OBITUARY.
Gen. A lexand.er Asiton.th.
The announcement is made by telegraph of the
death of Gen. Alexander Asboth, oar Minister re
sident to the Argentine Republic and Uruguay..
Gen. Asboth was a Hungarian by birth, and the
brother of the noted Gen. Asboth, of Hungarian
revolutionary fame. He himself held the rank
of Colonel in the same army, and was somewhat
noted as a talented cavalry officer. Re

eventually took up his residence in New'
York. When Gen. Fremont was appointed

Asboth with him, giving him the title of Briga

and to the Government. Shortly after the close
of the war, he was appointed to the office of
Minister Resident to the Argentine Republic, the
duties of which ho discharged up to the time of

Skeleton or a Man Found In a Mineral
Drilr t.
[(From the Galeria (IlL) Gazette, Feb. 59.1
On the farm of Mr. Andrew Sherard, about two
miles from this city, there is an old mineral drift,
in the side of a hill, from which some mineral
was taken, at one time, but the diggings were
abandoned - some twenty years ago. - Lastithurs-•
day a little son of Mr. Sherard, and another
boy, while out at play, walked into
this drift, and when about one hun
dred teat from the entrance they
wore startled at the sight of a human
skeleton, which, was sitting up in an almost
erect pdaition, only slightly leaning back against
the side wall of the; drift. The flesh was entirely
consumed, leaving the bones perfectly bare, and
the supposition is that the man had been dead for
several years. Of course the (motion as to how
he came there is all a matter of conjecture. lie
