every circumstance of publicity . But what W . we now ? In the midst of the nineteenth centuir in the centre of Paris , with the eyes of all Huron fastened on the illustrious accused , we behold one of the most accomplished , most eloquent , most con servative , and most religious men in France sum moned , like a pickpocket or a cut-throat , before a divisional police-court , whose very size precludes all notion of publicity , and admission to whicL for the few who can gain it , is conditional unon their rigid abstinence from all . intenls to publish , what transpires therein ; and then , after a few G .
hours' investigation , during which an inferior agent of criminal justice briefly recapitulates the charge , and in which not a tittle of evidence is given of guilty intention or guilty tendency , without the intervention of a jury , the accused is condemned , and sentenced to incarceration . It is indeed a mournful , and we fear we must add a monitory , aggravation of .. the horror and disgust such a spectacle is calculated to produce , that the abominablelaw under which M . deMontalemberfc was indicted originated in an Assembly chosen by
universal suffrage . It was meant , no doubt , by its authors as a dagger for self-defence in case the chief magistrate of the republic should suddenly be assailed : but however meant , it was an uuworthy and a fatal weapon , and it has now been wrested by the destroyer of all liberty to his own vindictive purpose . We' think little , we confess , of the special pleas set up by MM . Berryer and Dufaure , upon the ground that not having been re enacted under the Empire , the law of 1849 must be considered as having expired . An advocate is bound to raise
every point his ingenuity can suggest on behalf of his client ; we are far from impeaching , therefore , the discretion which raised tlio quibble in question . But quibble , after all , it must be held to be . If no law is binding on society but that which lias been formally-re-enacted on the last change of dynasty , the best part of legal security to property , liberty , and life would ; in nearly all old countries , disappear . The implied covenant which every new Government accepts , is to respect all the laws and usages it finds previously existing ,, and which have not becii specifically and distinctly annulled . The
converse of this proposition is anarchy-sow * le masque . But , admitting frankly that tlic . short-sighted and arbitrary law of IS 49 was , and is still , in full force and effect , the world will unhesitatingly brand the judgment of Louis Napoleon ' s subordinate and removable police magistrates with the stigma of illegality and injustice . Stupid and blind as the law of 1849 may be deemed by us , it was notoriously aimed at unlawful conspiracy against the chief of tlie State . It was directed against the surreptitious use of means whichif used openly , would not have
TRIAL AND SENTENCE OF M . DE MONTALEMBERT . Wherever freedom of thought is cherished , or the value of its unfettered utterance is felt and known , the recent proceedings against M . do Montalembert will excite mingled sentiments of wonder and indignation . That in a civilised country like Francea country which , under various fiJrms of rule , has long enjoyed the freedom of historical and speculative discussion—a statesman and a scholar should be summoned before a police-court , tried summarily on a charge of constructive treason , and condemned by it 3 removable judges to pecuniary fine and
imprisonment for the period of six months , sounds in the ears of a free people like an incredible talc . Two hundred years ago there were trials in England for political offences , where tho highest and best men in the laud were involved . Many of the charges against them wertJ trumpery and baseless , and many of the proceedings wore harsh , oppressive , and unfair . England was still without a settled constitution . The Crown and the aristocracy had alternately borne sway ; but an educated and enfranclnsed people could not be said to exist . Bill of llighta there was none ; irremovability of judges there was none ; supremacy of tho power of l '
arliamenfc there was none ; and public , schools and public journalism were undreamed of at the time . Vet even in tho days of the Stuarts such a mockery of a trial as that winch took place on Wednesday last in Paris would have boon impossible . When Hampdcn , and Sidney , and Russell stood at the bar for compassing and contriving the overthrow of arbitrary government , the bar at which they wero arraigned was Unit of a court of the highest jurisdiction ; the udgca who presided there , whatever may have jeen , their failings , were the highest judicial functionaries in tho realm ; the guilt or innocence of the accused was determined by tho verdict of a ury ; and , above all . the trial was conducted with
, been dangerous , and against the attempt to subvert by the public misuse of ordinary means the guarantees for order and law . And this law was passed when tliought and speech were free , when a National Assembly were sitting , and an executive ruler was elected by the people and responsible to tlicro . Nothing that M . dc Montalembert has said or ; written would , in the opinion of a free jury , bring lum within the purview of this bad and Wundcnng aw . As well micht they convict him of Protestantism
because he has rebuked the slavish and super utious bigotry of the Univcrs ; as well might t icy Indict hfm as an anarchist because he bewails tho loss of peaceful and well-ordered liberty , ine universal sense of Christendom will declare 4 ho verdict of the 24 th of November wrong in pom to law , unrighteous in point of equity , mid utloilj un susceptible of defence in point of argument . Our sense of the injustice of these proceedings , however , is absorbed in that of their uupol ey .

NOTICE . Ever since the use of the Government stamp to newspapers became optional , and two prices have been necessary , it does not aeem to be clearly understood that unstamped papers can be delivered to regular subscribers in th « great provincial cities with a very trifling addition , and in some cases at the same price as charged in London . In order that the " Leader may in no instance be charged more than Sixpence , cash or prepaid , the proprietors have determined to settle the prices , on and after this date , as follows : — Unstamped , FIVEPENCE . Stamped , Sixpence . Quarterly , unstamped £ 0 5 s . 5 d . — , stamped 0 6 6 Yearly ( prepaid ) , stamped 16 0 Unstamped , per year , prepaid , ONE GUINEA . Arrangements will be made with present Subscribers . These terms , it is hoped , will meet the approbation of the large class of Traders and General Readers , to wjiich the I * EAI > ER ( greatly increased in size ) appeals , by its special attention to COMMERCIAL as well as to LITERARY and POLITICAL AFFAIRS .
