      expose present acknowledged abuses , and who , if they had their tray , would take the command of pur national resources in the pictorial line , to find them indulging in remarks which evidence a Want of reverence for all that we have been accustomed to consider most sanctified and interesting in art history . Without disparagement of the matured and acknowledged excellence of Titian , Coreggio * and Raphael , and even of-the late Bolognese school , we cannot shut our eyes to the grand and sterling merits of the pioneers of art who preceded them— " such performers" as Giotto , Benozzo Gozzoli , Massaccio , Liica Sknaorelli , Fra Angelico , Mantegna , and others ,

      " jprimitive painters , ' * whom Mr . Davis is pleased to characterise as " barbarous , " but in whose works all true lovers of Michael Angelo and Raphael recognise the first development of those elements which the latter afterwards combined and wrought up in such high perfection . Works of this class are almost invaluable from their very rarity , and we shall always hail the introduction of good and genuine specimens into our national collection towards the completion of ' the " chronological system" which Mr . JDavis deprecates . Nothing but an appeal to public judgment will set us right , and keep us right in these matters .

      —— . ? Leadeb Office , Friday Night , December 3 rd . FBANCE . NoxwTtHSTAWDiNG the pardon of the Emperor , M . de Montalembert , accompanied by MM . Berryer and Dufaure , presented himself at the registrar's office yesterday , to lodge an appeal against the sentence pronounced upon him . He has addressed the following letter to the editor of the Moniteur ' : —

      «* M . le BeMacteor , —The Moniteur of this morning contains in its unofficial part a piece of news which I learn on reading that paper . It is to this effect— H . M . the Emperor , on the occasion of the anniversary of the 2 nd of December , has remitted , in favour of Count de Montalembert , the penalty pronounced against him . ' Condemned on the 24 th of November , I have appealed , within the term allowed by the law , against the sentence pronounced against me . No Government in France has had , up to the preBent , the right to remit a penalty ¦ which is not definitive . I am of those who still believe in right , and who do not accept a pardon . I pray you , and , if need be , require you , to be good enough to insert this letter in your next number . —Ch . de Mon-TAUEMBERT . "

      spoken of : ~ " M . de Royer , Minister of Justice , retires , attd will be replaced by M . Delangle ; M . de Persigny will be Minister of the Interior ; and M . Pietri , the former Prefect of Police , will be created Minister of Police , with very extended powers .

      The Moniteur says that competent tribunals will decide whether the appeal which M . de Montalembert seeks , can , under the present circumstances , be sustained . A rumour was previously circulated that the Archbishop of Paris intended to intercede with the Empress to obtain a remission of the sentence . M . de Montalembert immediately wrote to decline the kind offices of the prelate . His letter contains this passage ;—" Proud and honoured by a condemnation which proves my fidelity to the political principles of my whole life , and which comes so opportunely to justify in the eyes of Europe and of posterity all that I have said or thought on the actual condition of France , I have at this moment no other desire than to leave to xay judges the responsibility of their acts , and I could only regard in the light of a real wrong ( iryure ) the slightest favour emanating from , the Imperial Government . "

      In the announcement of the pardon in the Monxteur , the allusion to the anniversary of the 2 nd December is , doubtless , intended as a stroke of sarcasm ; it is simply an etpifylerie . M . de Montalembert , like many others , ¦ wa s , perhaps , disposed to palliate the act of the 2 nd December , 1851 , thinking , as others did ) that some such change saved for a time the country from civil war . The allusion of the Moniteur is ill-judged ; it evokes a host of reminiscences which it were better to have left

      untouched . It reminds the public that M . de Montalembert ' s adhesion lasted about twenty days , and it revives the memory of that other act against which the public voice was raiaed—the confiscation of the Orleans ' property . From tlifo act in particular dates the surrender of M . de Montalembert of the delusions under which he , in common with other sincere and contdlng persona , may have laboured . The following changes in the French Ministry are

      SARDINIA . A Turin letter s » y » : — " The warlike discourse of King Victor Emmanuel to his troops is reduced to a few simple words which he spoke to Colonel Holland , after having reviewed the brigade of Savoy , which loudly cheered his Majesty : —< The bearing of these troops pleases me exceedingly—it is truly warlike . This is a great satisfaction to me , for if in the spring , or at any other time , we had to take the field , I may rel y on the excellent feeling of the army . ' " The Piccolo Corriere d'Italia of Turin says : — " The fortifications of Alessandria , Casale , Genoa , and ^ La Spezia are being actively pushed on . The fortifications Of Alessandria are to receive 300 guns , already cast and placed on their carriages . ' The arsenals of the state contain upwards of 200 , 000 muskets , besides other weapons in proportion . There are large quantities of ammunition and uniforms for 100 , 000 men . There are twenty fieldbatteries in reserve . "

      The Picttxbes us the National Galxery . —Much has teen said about covering the pictures in the Na- ? tional Gallery with glass , for the purpose of preserving them from the influences of a London atmosphere : a far more important result will be obtained if , in the process of fixing the glass <> ver those pictures , care i s taken to exclude , as much as possible , the air . Thus the great vital agent of the atmosphere , and the great destroyer , oxygen , would be prevented from carrying on , wiLh its ordinary rapidity , its important work of oxydation and decay . —Professor R Hunt , in the " Art Journal .

      SERVIA . According to the last advices from Belgrade , the Prince has fixed the 12 th of December for the opening of the Skouptechina ^ and Belgrade as the seat of the Assembly . The day is the anniversary of the Constitutionof 1838 , consequently a day of great festivity . By the date of the last letters from Servia which have arrived here Cabuli Effendi , the Turkish Commissioner , had not yet arrived . All * throughout the Pan Sclavonian nationalities an unusual fermentation is spoken of , and various letters coming from the banks of the Vistula , the Drave , and the Save , describe the hopes and efforts of that race to amalgamate . Austrian Galicia is actively mixed up in this movement , and Moscow seems to be the central seat ' of the commotion . New journals , written in ' the various dialects of the Sclaves , are daily started , and a printing-press in the same interest has been set up at Berlin .
