A.11 hail tlic flaunting lie !
The stars grow pale and dim
'The stripes are b'body scars,
A lie the vaunting hymn ;
It shields a pirate's deck,
It binds a man in chains;
It yokes the captives neck,
And wiped the bloody stains.
Tear down the flaunting lie!
Half mast the starry Hag !
Insult no sunny sky
With liato's pointed rag ;
Destroy it ye who can !
Deep sink it in the waves.
It-bears a fellow-man
To groan with fellow slaves.
Unfurl the boasted lie J
Till freedom lives again.
To rule once more in Truth
Among untrammelled men !
Roll up the btarry sheen,
Conceal its bloody stain3.
For in its folds is seen
The stamp of rustling chains!
EesDcnsa ta the above Song.

From Mivhelson's Life of Nicholas.
AN ILL-TIMED B01I-K0T.
Frogere, an actor at one of the minor thea
tres of the Boulevard in Paris, had entered
into an engagement with the manager of the
a rench lheatre at St. Petersburg, where he
had the good fortune so greatly to please :
Paul I., that he soon became a distinguished
favourite of the monarch An ill-timed Ion
mot one day convinced ForgeYe how danger--ou3
it was to speak too freely to the eccentric i
autocrat. It was at the imperial diuner-table, !
when one of the guest ianjed the present
Emperor at the expense of Peter the Great, j
"lhat is robbing ?eter to pay Paul," said j
the Emperor turning to his favourite; "is it
not so, Frogere ?" 1
"Certainly, sir," answered the latter. "To I
satisfy Paul we may rob not only Peter the
Great, but also Peter the Apostle ."
"And pray why so?" asked the Czar
quickly.
"Because," said the actor, "Paul in his
anger has frequently commanded, in the words
of our Saviour, 'Go and bear the cross
throughout the world, more especially in
Siberia." .
Paul showed anger in bis face, and no one
dared to laugh br to be pleased with the ac
tor's reply. A few minutes afterwards the
hmperor r08e and dismissed the company.
vWaVn middle of wnter, about mid
night, when Frogere was aroused from his
deep by a loud knocking at his door He
jumped from his bed, opened the door, and
x file of soldiers entered theapartment. The
former produced a warrant from the Emperor,
WnUhing Frogere to Siberia. W may
readily imagine the terror of the Frenchman.
He cried, threw himself upon the floor, l0re
his hair, and repeatedly exclaimed, '-'What
crime have I committed to deserve such pun-
j begged for a few hours' delay, to throw him-
j self at the feet of the monarch and learn the
-j nature of his guilt In vain : the officer
; would allow him only timo to pack up a few
clothes and linen scarcely Mas the oncra-
j tion finished whcu ho was surrounded by the
; fol'iiers anu carried outside the house, where
j a coach was in waiting. lie was then lifted
j int6 it more dead than alive while two
Boldiers.wuh drawn swords and cocked pis
I tols, took their seats.on each side of him.
The doors of the vehicle were locked, and,
the officer giving the signal, the coach rolled
away at full speed, surrounded by a cavalry
escort. How long the first stage lasted Fro
gere was unable to tell, the vehicle was so
thickly covered that not the least ray of light
could penetrate. lie was told" on entering the
coach that the soldiers had orders to s
nooi
him on the spot the moment he opened his
mouth to put questions to them He conse
quently observed strict silence, and suffered a
world of pain. The door of the coach was
at last opened it was broad daylight. His
eyes, however, were bandaged, and he was
led into a miserable hut, the doors and win
dows of which were closed as soon as he en
tered When the bandage was removed, ho
saw, by the faint glimmer of a rushlight, a
dish of coarse food upon a board before hium
Though he had been fasting for some time he
could hardly swallow a morsel; fear, however,
induced him to eat, for the faces that watch
ed his motions seemed to portend no good.
Siberia! Siberia! that was the only thought;
he was to live in that terrible land. Frogere
save himself n to Tdc-na r when the pVeviou :
gre vSCliUAt0 UtSpf.W
ofGcc r by-the-by, an old acquaintance en
tered the room, attended bv a courier. The
poor prisoner felt as if he had not seen that
friendly face for years. In the joy of Ills
heart he was about to embrace him ; but a
motion with the hand and a stern look re
strained him, while the finger of the officer
pressed upon his lips imposed silence. He
had flattered himself that the courier had
brought an order for his release : but he was
mistaken.
The officer dismissed his guide, ,and order
ed the soldiers to leave the room and wait
outside Bcinjr alouo with the prisoner, he
aid, almost in a whisper, "Frogere, we must
i must ;
now part. I have accompanied you to the
ursi siag-, ami you win nence oe unocr me debt, and pleaded his privilege as an Am
impectiou of another officer. Be careful not bassador as giving him immunity from arrest
w speaii a v. ura. x risK mucn even in grving
this caution ; but I am hour friend. Have
you any orders for me? Can I serve you on
my return to St Petersburg V" Foor Frogere
melted into tears. Instead of replying to the
question, he only bewailed having to undergo
a punishment for an unknown crime "An
unknown crime?" said the officer "Don't
you, then, know what you have done? Are
you mad, Frogere ? Have 3 0U forgotten the
sarcastic jest you made at the imperial table?
It has offended the Emperor; you are puuish
jed becaase there was so much truth in it."
"Good heavens !" exclaimed the exile.
"Hush! be silent !" whispered the other;
"walls have ears. Eut", not to waste time,
listen, Frogere. I am the only enc whom
3ou kuow: henceforth, during your long
journey, you will find faces wholly unkuowu
to you. The Emperor, you are aware, is im
movable in his resolves, and inexorable in his
! wrath. You h ad better, therefore, be r-
signed to our fate ; you
Lave" cothin" to i
hope. Tell mo, then, quickly, what
I can
do for you t
"Speak for me to his Majesty."
"Not a word of that," said his friend ;
"ask anything but lhat."
"If that be the ease," said poor Frogere,
"I have nothing to ask."
And your money and trinkets," rejoined
the officer, "you have left them all behind
Can I lodge thcni safely for you somewhere,
until 30U return T'
"My return?" gasped Frogere; "then I
am not exiled for life ?"
"Of course not only for three" years
Take courage ; they will soon pass away
and then "
"Three years for an innocent word?"
whined Frogere, and began to cry and com
plain. But at this moment the soldiers enter
ed, and bandaging his eyes, they lifted him
into the vehicle, and away it rolled again."
It seemed a very long stage for Frogere
calculated that he had travelled the whole
day, when tho vehicle again stopped. As
Deiore, ne wa3 bandagea and lea into a j
wretched hut, a counterpart of the first, and j
lighted by a piece of blazing pinewood. Th 1
same coarse food was again placed before
him. He looked at the faces around him
None that he knew none that inspired him
with comfort. After several Bimllar journeys,
the vehicle again stopped. By Frogere's
estimate, as well as he could tell, he had
travelled three days and nights His eyes
were bandaged as before; but, instead of
being led, his guides seized him, and carried
hm for some tune, until thep placed him upon
a wooden bench. He waited . for" a few mo
ments, and wondered why tho bandage was
not removed. At last he heard soft whisper
ings, and then quick steps approaching. His
hands were suddenly seized, and tied bchiad
his back. He tremblingly asked what it
meant? but received no reply. In another
moment his coat was torn off his shoulders,
and his breast laid bare. Frogere now thought
that eternity, instead of Siberia; was to bo
the goal of his journey. Take aim !" was
the command of one whose voice he thought
he knew "Fire!" and several shots were at
once discharged. Frogere fell senseless to
tho ground. He was raised, unwounded,
and whilst he was borne along he becamo
sensible of a division of soldiers marching
past him. Having been placed upon a chair,
hie hands were unbound, and the bandAge
removed. H thin found himself in the
, ganie room, at the same table, 'and in the
j same company, where that unhappy lon-mot
I had escaped him. Opposite to him eat the
: Emperor. The astonishnient.terror and doubt
face, so greatly excited the risible faculties of.
Paul, .that the entire company joined heartily
in the mirth. Frogere fell in a swoon. The
whole terrible trip had only lasted twenty- j
four hours. The Emperor had accompanied
mm in disguise aw tnc time, ana touna im
mense delight in the prisoner's painful suffer
ings.
Though used to comedies, it was long
before the actor recovered from the sad"df earn
of ths imperial farce.
ME, SOULES CASE; .
The ground iaken by those who justify the
exclusion of Mr.
Soula from Jb ranee by the,, ,Pe, " . i t,. , ,,
nt, is that, out of the conn- I hf alheJd governments do not publish reliable
French Government,
try to which he is accredited, Mr
roule has
none of the rights and immunities of his rep- .
.A.nntnlivn fill . fi-" . . . .a i ,nnq rl.wl i

and treated as any other individual. The
in -

this ground, and h followed in sa doing by j

ment We apprehend that this position is ,

i n rA- T' , : t . :
law. Chancellor Kent m his chapter on the ,

subject says that "an Ambassador is deemed
' under the protection of the law of nations in
his passage through the territories of a third
' and friendly power, while upon his public j
mission, in going or returning from the Gov- j
; eminent to which he is , deputed. To arrest
I him under such circumstances would be a :
breach of his privilege- as a public Minister." ';

j This same principle was tested in our own j least 75,000 men.
1 Courts in 1839, when Mr. Henderson, the It is believed that-the position of the Rus
; Minister of Texas to France, wan passing sian3 at Sebastopol was desperate, that many

aa bein? then a foreisrh and indeDendent noV-
r, MrTlI. was arrested in this citv for
not only in the territory of the power to which
he was accredited, but within the territories
of every friendly power. The Superior
Court, within whose jurisdiction the case was
brought, recognized the validity of the plea,
and ordered his discharge. It was held that
not even a past-port was required to insure
him protection The fact that he was the
representative of a friendly power was deem-
ed sufficient. In this case the ordinary on-
eration of the Courts of law was held to ,be
suspended towards an individual who was
present in the country as the Minister of a
foreign power, although he was not accredit-
ea 10 our own uovernmeuc.

Upon this principle it will not be easy for
' the Government of France to clear itself from
( the charge of having treated the United
j States in an offensive and insulting nutnner.
j It excludes from its soil one of our official
i Representatives, not deigning even to give
anv excuse therefor, assigning no reasons, al-
legmg no onence, nut so tar as appears in
the wanton exercise of power. It is said that

Mr. Sanders' letter and other i ncendiary doc-
uments in r ranee. No such reason was as-
signed. And if he had been thus guilty the j
true remedy for the French Government j
would have been to complain to our G overn- !
ment of his conduct, and to seek redress there- j
for
me uuuimuuv, i. .o ..w.,
to regard tho conduct of the French Govern-
mcnt as otherwise than intentionally offeu- ;
sive. The act itself, and the manner of it, j
as well as tho tone 6aid to have been suhse- j
quently assumed in regard to it by the French j
Minister towards Mr. Mason, seem to have j
been designedly unfriendly and insulting. j
We trust our Government will lose no time
in demanding immediate and distinct cxpla- i
nations and appologics troni the government
of France. Nor are we at all sure tnat the
mPTP. allprrotion mi the nart of that Govern-
ment. that Mr. Soule's exclusion was purely
personal and not official, Should be accepted
as satisfactory. His exclusion was a clear vio- of tLe Ungiishgtcam transport, which left Ra
lation of a principle of international law. It iayava,ou the evening of tho 27 th, confirms
is impossible thus to separate his personal
from his official character. So lone as he
has the credentials cf cur government certi
fying that he is our representative, he is en
titled to be treated as such by every friendly
power And every power which refuses such
recognition and treatment, must be held to
be, so far as that refusal goe unfrieudly.
If such an exrdanation. therefore, should be
offered by France, it ought to ho accompanied
by apologies for the act ; aud unless it is so
accompanied, it ought to bo rejected as un
satisfactory.
The rumors and suspicions that have been
for some months afloat concerning the un
friendly Simtiincnts of the French Emperor
towards the United States, have hitherto
found little credit among our people " Our
Government has given him no pccasion for
such sentiments, 'and it is not easy to see how
the stability or the glory of his reign could
be promoted by a policy based upon them.
But the whole country will unito in demand
ing that our Government shall repel, with
prompt energy and decision, everything like
an insult to our Government, and demand
full reparation and apology for indignities in
flicted trpan any of our Ambassadors. N. Y.

TUE WAR IS TITE CRIMEA.
Private letters from Sebastopol announce
that on the 23d of October the operations of
the French engineer was earned to within 300 ;
metres of the point of attack. Five thousand 1
French troops from the Piraeus have passed t
through the liosphoru3 fur the Crimea. All

it will be dangerous for the allied armies to

tent with the following private telegraphic
despatch from Varna, dated the 20th : .
' The fire has continued uninterruptedly fo
the.2oth with great energy The losses of
the Russians are enormous, and the dead bod
ies are so numerous in Sebastopol, that pesti
lential odors arose within its walls, and it was
impossible to bury the dead. The besiegers
have made great progress,, having come so

j Guns had been brought to bear upon the
i gates, and Admiral Nachimoff had been killed
by the fragment of a shell. If this last cir-
-
cumstance te coutirmea, it is remarKawe tnat
the two chief officers of the Russian navy who
i planned and executed the attack on Sinope,
should have both been Killed within a year.

Lord Dunkellin's promotion as Captain and
Lieutenant Colonel in the Coldstream Guards,
appears in the Gazette last evening.
One account states that two Russian men-of-war
that had been 'careened over' in the
harbor to serve as batteries, had been sunk by
the fire of the allies. The English had brought
some long guns to bear on the ferry.
Lord Dunkellin's family had been informed
by the English Government that his reported
capture "is not true or at least doubtful.
It is foreseen that one or more pitchy bat
tles must be fought in the Crimea, and there
fore, the allied commanders have determined
to reduce Sebastopol, if possible, by bombard
ment, and thus economise the lives of their
troops

menschikoff's official report.
The Journal of St. Petersburg publishes an
official epitome of the events which have re
cently taken place in the Crimea. Prince
Mcnschikoff reports the Russian loss in killed
and wounded at the battle of the Alma at
4500. On tLe evening, of the 17th ult., he
states that the English had only two pieces
which were capable of continuing the firing,
and that the French had been silenced earlier.
A powder magazine had exploded. Fort
Constantino had been much damaged by the
fire cf the fleet, and bastion No. 3 had 33 of
its guns dismounted. Admiral Korniloff is
dead, and Admiral Nachimoff wounded.
THE DANUBE.
Bucharest advices of October' 30th, state
that in consequence of the movement on the
Sereth by Sadyk Pacha, Prince Gortschakoff
has given orders to the Russian troops who
had not jret passed the Dniester, to make a
retrograde movement, and to take up a posi
tion on the Pruth and Danube. Achmet
Pacha has received orders to join Sadvk Pacha
with 10. (;()() men. whilst Johender liev is to
j enter the Dobrudscha witu 4000 cavalry.
The truth of the matter seems to be that
Gortschakoff s reported movements in theDo
brudscha had reference meroiy to strengthen
ing his position.
ritOGaESS OF NEGOTIATION'S.
The most contradictory reports are current
as to the present state of negotiations. Two
Austrian notes are yet (October 29th) unan
swered by Count Ncsselrode. A prevalent
impression is that a collective note will be for
warded to St. Petersburg by Austria, Prussia
and the German States. Austria will cer
tainly not, unless compelled, come to an open
rupture with Russia, unless she is confident
of the support of Prussia and the Germanic
Governments. Russia continues to use all
means to prevent Prussia siding with Austria.
' Consequently the policy of Austria is to gain
, t- b t!ierefore well disposed to en-
.... G are particg.
There is talk of a note from Count Nesscl-
rodo to Prussia, stating that Russia is prepar
ed for all contingencies, and will under all
circumstances, maintain her traditional poli
cy in the East. Even if Sebastopol should
fall, and the Crhr.ei bo lost, Russia will not
