France. The' Monitenr' Publishes A Decre...
FRANCE . The' Monitenr' publishes a decree of the President cf the Republic , appointing M . Carlier , the present Chief of the Municipal Police , Prefect of Police of Paris , in the place of Colonel Rehillot , who bas been promoted to the rank of General of Brigade . The new Prefect has published the following infamous proclamation : — * Inhabitants of Paris . —The high confidedence of Ihe President of the Republic has just called me to the post of prefect of police . It will lie for roe an eternal honour to fcava been considered worthy of seconding in those delicate functions the great and
straightforward policy inaugurated by the acts and declarations of the head of the state . I am about to demand from my fellow-citizens their co-operation and support , in promising them my zeal and energy . Peaceable men of ail classes can only see in me a friend ; I am , and always shall be , I do I » t say the entmy , but the courageous and indefatigable adversary of perturbators , both chiefs and instruments . Protection to religion , to labour , and to family ties , to property , to good , institutions , to repentance even ; vigilance and rigour towards socialism , immorality , disorder , improper publications , and the obstinacy of the factious . Such will be ' the rale Of my conduct—National guards , heads of
manufacturing and industrial establishments , fathers of families , tradesmen , workmen , assist me in the accomplishment of my mission ; it belongs to the initiative of good citizsns to facilitate the action of the laws and of the authority ; the internal discipline of families and workshops is the most powerful auxiliary of the police of the state ; our cause is the same ; you | wish for a protective government ; we wish for enlightened liberty ; moderation founded on force will , doubtless , daunt bad passions . The most trying "days are passed ; but we must not slumber on a first success ; nothing has been done
while there yet remains anything to do for order and security . Inhabitants of Paris , the question now is to form a league against socialism ; that is the cause of every interest . Let us revive private confidence toy restoring public security ; kt us secure the future welfare of all by the stability of institutions faithfully respected , but firmly applied ; it is between ns all a mutual assurance ; we hare therefore a light to rely on each ether . You may rely on me , ( Signed ) O ' AEUER . Seen and approved by the Minister of the Interior . ( Signed ) ? . Barrot .
Paris , Suxdat . — It seems that the effective of the French army during 1849 was 454 , 000 men , in lien of the 380 . 000 set down in the estimate .. It is not explained why the late war minister , General Bolhieres , even with the excess of the Roman expedition , could have exceeded his estimate by 74 , 000 men , a prettv atmy in itself . Heneral Hantponl promises to reduce 40 , 000 to 400 , 000 men . Whilst the new war minister is thus pacific , M . Ferdinand Barrot , the new Home Minister , is decidedly warlike . The enemy , however , against whom be is about to entreren campagae is not Russia or
Rome-The Socialists are M . Barrot ' s foes , and he proposes to increase the gendarmerie mobile to combat them . Rogues All . —M . Ferdinand Barret is , however , a modest man ; so modest , that when the ministerial change was in progress , which was to oust his brother Oditlon , and make him , Ferdinand , minister in his place , Ferdinand said not one word on the subject to Odilion , who learned the ministerial revolution from a stranger . Odillun Barrot had spent his life in befriending his brother Fer dinand . Will the latter be more true to Louis Napoleon than he has been to his benefactor and Tjretber ?
• The Fsiexds of Obdeb . '— The ' Moniteur ' publishes the report of the three arbitrators appointed to inquire into the extent of the losses sus . tained by the two printers of the anarchical journals , Messrs . Proux and Boule , whose establishments were forcibly entered by the National Guards and troops on the 13 th of June last . The damage done to the proprietors of the'Democratic Pacifique * is estimated at 4 , 812 r . 50 c . ; the damage suffered DJ M . Proux , printer of the 'Yraie Republique' at 40 , 444 f . 64 c ; and by M . Boule , printer of the ' Peaple , ' at 74 , 065 f . 67 c ; in all 123 , 322 f . 81 e . Letters from Toulon of the 9 th , inst state that several steam-frigates are being fitted out in that port to form part , of an expedition against the Emperor of Morocco . .
The Veterinary School of Lyons , which was closed after the insurrection of June last , has been again opened ; 150 pupils have been admitted but they are no longer allowed to wear an uniform or sword . - At a meeting of the editers of the Paris newspapers held MM . Lubis Doras , Emilia de Gerardin . Boiley , and Chatard were elected Syndics . A fetter front Montpsllier of the 9 th inst . states that a duel had just taken place , between M . Felix Dnpin , editor of the ' Independent / a Red Repub . lican journal , and M . Marcel , editor of the ' Echo da Midi . ' M . Dnpin having received a ball ia the breast , the seconds put an end to the combat .
T « : e Pupils of the Esole ' des Arts et Metiers at Angers , who revolted some time since , were tried by the Assize Court of that town on the 9 th inst . They were acquitted with the exception of two , who were sentenced to imprisonment for two years . A search for fire-arms was made by the police on Monday last in Paris at the residence of M . fierve , one of the Editors of the' Voix du People . ' None , however , were , discovered . Paris , Tcssuay . —Last evening after post hour government made two important communications to the Assembly , through the organ of M . Ferdinand Barrot , who rose to state that the President of the Republic , using his incontestihle right , had ordered the pardon of the greater part of the insurgents imprisoned at Belleisle . 700 ont of 1 , 200 prisoners are included in this measure of pardon .
THE MOCK TBIAL OF THE PROSCRIBED REPOBLICANS . The state trials at Versailles were brought to a conclusion on Monday . The counsel for the prisoners persevered in their refusal to plead , not being allowed by the Court to plead the violation of the Constitution . The additional counsel named by the Court declared they conld not perform that duty , as the prisoners had refused to accept their assistance . The president then charged the jury , who retired at half-past two o ' clock .
Paris Tuesday . —The ; jury passed the afternoon of Monday and all the night in deliberation . Many of the spectators , among whom were several ladies , fearing to lose their seats , remained in the court all night , or enly quitted it for a short time , Outside the co rt large crowds were assembled during the whole cf the nig ht . —At a quarter-past seven the ringin * ci the bell of the jury room announced that tse High Jory were ready to give their verdict . The female relatives of the prisoners were not allowed to remain in court . —The judges having taken their seats the jury entered the box . —Tae President warned the public that any mark of apnrobatisn or disapprobation would be severely checked . He then called on the foreman of the jory to make known ths verdict .
The foreman then read the decisions of the jory on the eighty-eight questions which had been submitted to them . They were . in the negative as regarded Maillard , Banne , Bureaux , London , Achintre , Pelahaye , Merliot , Vernon , Angelot , Leraaiire , and Forestier . On the question of conspiracy to destroy ex change the government , and to excite mil war by analog one citizen against another , the reply v $ a * affirmative as regards Andre , Langlois , Paya , and Schmitz . On the question ot attempt to destroy
the Government and to excite to civil war unarming Citizens against each other , the reply was affirmative with regard to Lebon , Commissaire , Suchet , Maigne , Vauthier , Lamaziere , Gurnard , Maube , and jratwalet . Estenasting circumstances were only found in the eases of Suchet , Maube , and Frabonier , and the reply of the jury was affirmative on al the questions of conspiracy and attentat as far as concerned Chipron , Dufeiix , Fargia Fayolle , Pilhes , Bocb , -Dwflle , and Gamhon .
The prisoners , in favour of whom the verdict of acquittal Bad been ghren , were then bronght into court , aad ordered by the President to be set at libertv if no other cause of detention remained agtfnst them . The pnsaners retired without m aking any remark . ... The remainder of the prisoners were then brought in , and the decision of the jury read over to them . It was listened to with attention by them all , Fraboulet alone making a gesture of disdain on learning that extenuating circumstances had been found in his favour . The Procureur General , M . Baroehe , then rose and called for the judgment of the Court on the 1
prisoners . The President : Have the accused or their advo-» ates anything to say in mitigation of punishment ? remind them . that they cannot plead that the fact t w \ ach they hare been declared guilty of by the

jury is false , but only that it does not constitute a crime or offence , or that it does not call for the punishment demanded by the Procureur-General . The advocates who had been officially named for the prisoners intimated that they left the matter to the judgment of the Court . The President then severally called on the accused most of whom merely rose and reseated themselves without speaking . When , however , he called the name of Lebon , the accused , with great excitement , exclaimed—Yon want me to speak in mitigation of punishment , but I do not- think that during the trial I have made any attempt to extenuate the charges against me . Your enemies are in your hands—strike them severely , in order that ^ some
day—The President .: Accused , do not aggravate yoni position . Sit down , I forbid you to speak . Paya said , 1 have nothing to say . I did not plead on the merits , and consequently the truth is not known to you . I take advantage of this oppor . ( unity to declare that in refusing to defend myself I acted ou no suggestion , but of my own free will . Maigne exclaimed , that any punishment would be pleasing which would render testimony ( ofheright of the people , and . serve as a protest which would protect the honour of France , their beloved mother . It is for you to see to what point you will descend in the path ot iniquity , in which a prevaricating government—President . —Prisoner , hold your tongue . —Maigne sat down without completing the sentence .. Lamaziere . —I hope the 36 men who are opposite
us— President . —Be silent . I will not allow you to speak in that manner . Lamaziere continued to speak in spite of the injunctions of the President , and the gendarmes were compelled to make him sit down by force-DeviKe . —Men like me always accept a condemnation . Their life and their liberty are always at the service of their country , they are always ready to sacrifice them for her . Tflty do not demand the pr ice of their devotedness . Fraboulet said , with 'great emphasis . History will know the truth of this maa ' . er . 'Vive la Republique Democratique et Sociale !'
The Court then retired to deliberate ., After about an hour it returned , and ; -delivered its judgments condemning Chipron , Andre , Dufeiix Lebon , Langlois , Pays , Commissaire ; Maigne , Fargih , Fayellej Pilhes Daniel Lamroiere , Racn Vauthier , Deville , Gambon , Guinard and Schmitz to transpartatiohfor life ; and Suchet , Maube , and Fraboulet de Cbalandar , to five jears impr isonment ; and the whole of the prisoners , conjointly and separately , to the expenses of the prosecution , fixing the imprisonment , in default of payment , to two years . On hearing their sentence all ths prisoners rose and cried , ' Vive la Republique Democratique et Sociale V President : Take the prisoners back to their rooms .
Lamaziere exclaimed , in a trembling voice , ss he was leaving the court , ' As for the judges , may the infamy sit lightly on them . ' On leaving the eourt they all made a farewell sign of adieu to their friends .
BELGIUM . Openin g of the Chamhers . —The Belgian Chambers were opened on the 13 th iUSt . by the king in person . It was stated in the speech from the throne that the country presented a very favourable aspect ; that its tranquillity was a proof of its excellent spirit and of the existence of good institutions ; that it possessed the confidence and sympathy of foreign nations , and that the harvest this year was a very abundant one , rendering provisions cheap , and at the same time increasing the exports of agricultural produce . The king then proceeded to declare that public attention was greatly directed to the progress
of agriculture ; that the efforts of bis government public bodies , and private individuals iff that respect cannot fail to produce beneficial results ; that the progress of manufacture was , on the whole , satisfactory , the exports to distant markets gradually increasing -, that the sufferings of the population of Flanders were mitigated ; that the new postal system had hitherto worked well , and that other postal conventions were on the point of being concluded . His majesty then announced bills for the improvement of the system of public education at the ex
pense of the state ; for the amendment of the penal code ; for the abolition of the punishment of branding on the body ; for the total abrogation after the 1 st of January next , of the contract between the government and the great hanking establishment , the Societe Generate ; for the further organisation of savings banks and country ba & ks of credit ( without mortgage ;) for the revision of the mortgage system ; and for the creation . of establishments for providing funds for aged operatives , & c , & c
The strike amongst the factory operatives at Ghent for higher wages and a diminution in the hours of labour still continues , and is spreading no slight alarm in that large city . Iuflamm atory circulars ' are distributed amongst the working classes , and much exasperation prevails . The arrests continue .
SWITZERLAND . The' Ticino Gazette' announces that Mazzini , the ex-triumvir of Rome , has been expelled from the Canton of Vaud by order of the Director of the Federal and Cantonal Police , in virtue of the decree issued by the Diet against M . Mazzini , in 1833 .
ITALY . Napie &—The policy of the king and his immediate advisers has not changed , and every day adds to the number , of political prisoners . Even those attached by interest to existing governments do not approve of this universal system of oppression , since it throws the king more than ever into the hands of the army . Baron Baracca , the richest man in Calabria , has been arrested in Naples . A party of armed police surrounded the house , whilst others searched every hole and corner of the buildfor papers and letters .
The Jesuits , who now reign triumphant in Naples , have begun their war against education . By a decree of the 27 th ult „ whoever is engaged in public or private instruction , must appear before a council to be interrogated on the Catechism of the Christian doctrine , ' and can only exercise their office by permission , which simply means that the Jesuits are to dictate what is to be taught to the youth of Naples , whilst the civil law will punish any deviation from their orders . Thus it will be seen , at a moment when other religious orders are trying to elevate Christianity , the Jesuit ? 1 , as of old , would debase it . These are the friends of Ferdinand II .
PIEDMONT . —In its sitting of the 8 th , the Chamber of Deputies of Turin confirming the election of Advocate Daniel Manin at Genoa . The Leggc observes , that Manin not being naturalised , the Chamber ought not to have confirmed the election .
SPAIN . Letters from Madrid of the 7 th state that at the sitting of the Cortes of the previous evening M . Olozaga declared that if the government persisted in its acts of gross illegality , he should be forced to resign his place as deputy , to avoid a repetition of the persecutions be had already been the victim of . The printing-office of the ' Clamor Publico' had been forced open by orders of M . Saragossa , the Political Chief , and the types scattered . The emigres of the Palace implicated in thelate crisis had reappeared in Madrid , and the King ' s Secretary , M . Rodon , was also expected in the capital .
GERMANY . The Martyr Robert Blum . —The anniversary of the execution of Robert Blum was solemnised at Berlin , Colonge , and in various other places on the 8 th inst . In nearly every instance the police broke in upon and dispersed the assemblages . The following is from the « Times , ' containing the usual \ Times' sneer : - « The « Kolner Zeitung' of the ] 1 th inst . states that a large meeting of Radicals assembled iu the Villa Colonna on ihe 8 th inst ., to celebrate ihe anniversary of the execution of M . R . Blum . The meeting was attended by no less than
2 . 000 persons in mourning , wf ' o chitMf d , a requiem , and were being addressed by one of their number when the military and police arrived , and cleared the room with so much precipitancy that the distressed Radicals were obliged to leave their mourning cloaks and hats behind them . Another meeting was held ia the Krausen-strasse . It was dispersed , and the police attempted to arrest a roan who distinguished himself by an enormous red ccckade ; but the individual in question was rescued by his friends , who fought the police iu the roomand in the street .
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY . Viemc-a , Nov . 4 . —My letter of the 21 st of October communicettd the important intelligence , that the $ mj > sm of Russia had consented to with-

draw his claim for the extradition of his subjects who were implicated in the Hungarian rebellion . I am at present enabled to inform you that the matter is definitely concluded , the Porte having pledged itself to keep in safe custody , in one or more of the Turkish fortresses , all those refugees whose names may be mentioned by the Russian and Austrian govern ments , and immediately to banish the others probably w'to the exception of those who may in the meantime have embraced the Mahometan religion—from the Turkish territories . Of course . this perfectly authentic news completely confutes all the ridiculous reports , according to which Kossuth and some of his colleagues are already on their way to join Messrs . Pulsky and Teleky in England .-Times .
Vienna , Nov . 6 . —We are furnished from official sources with some further details concerning the mission of General Hauslab to Widden , its termination and present result . You are already aware that the Austrian envoy arrived on the 12 th in Widdin , where he was received in the usual oriental stvle by Zia Pasha . On the 16 th a proclamation appeared on the walls of the Austrian Consulate , which promised a free pardon to the common soldiers under condition of enlistment in the Austrian army . The officers who returned were not only to be enrolled as privates in the imperial service , hut to be tried by court-martial . Under these circumstances it is strange that with so many samples before their
eyes of the ruthless fate awaroedto those of their comrades who surrendered unconditionally " rip less than sixty officers should have given" themselves up to the Austrian government . In vain the chiefs of the Hungarian rebellion , Bern ; now Murad Pasha , and Guyon , strove by . the most emphatic warnings to divert these infatuated men from the blind step . They , with 3 , 111 men , embarked on the evening of the 21 st on board the steamers Magyar and Mercury , and six towed vessels , under the auspices of General Hauslab , for Orsova . The account of this matter in the * Wiener Zeitung' does not scruple to charge Bern , Guyon , and the rest of the rebel chiefs with the design of making an attempt on the person of
General Hauslab , who was providentially saved from their machinations by the timely arrival of the Austrian steamer Ludwig . Equally probable is the statement that Murad Pasha issued a proclamation making brilliant offers to all who would ' emb raee Islamism . Guyon , who had left "Widdin for Constantinople long before , is represented , with others , as having hissed the aged consul and torn down the proclamation ; but a troop of gipsies appearing , put the rioters to flight . The next day , Gen . Hauslab having preferred a complaint to the Turkish authorities against Guyon , that officer was conducted ' notwithstanding the heavy rain , ' under a strong Turkish escort , away towards Constantinople . All
the Magyar , Italian , and Polish subjects of Austria having embarked in spile of the attempts , supported by the Turkish population , to detain them , there remained behind some 7 . 00 men chiefly Russian subjects . Such is the official accounts , evidently full of lies . Letters of the 1 st , from Semlin , add that the rest of the Italian legion , who were not Austrian subjects , had refused any longer to seive under Bern , at whose apostacy they were greath scandalised , and are gone . to Gailipoli , from whence they will be conveyed by sea to . Genoa . Kossuth and the other
chiefs were still in the citadel of the fortress of Widdin , strictly guarded . The truth 5 s , that the departure of Guyon for Constantinople and of the Italians for Gillipoli , was simply in consequence of the English and Sardinian ministers having applied to the Porte for their delivery ; and neither Ottoman consideration for the aggrieved dignity cf Gen . Hauslab on the one hand , nor the horror inspired by Bern ' s turban on the other , are at all necessary to account for the retirement of the Englishman and Piedmontese from Widdin .
The 150 Hungarian hussars who fled to England , and were from there sent to Turkey , have not been permitted to land at Constantinople . Being in uniform , and without military passes , they were considered as deserters . Letters from Schemnitz state that one of the officers of the garrison of Comorn bas lately been executed in the city of Schemnitz , in direct violation of the terms of General Kiapka's capitulation . Since January , no less than 1 , 619 sentences have been pronounced by the court-martial sitting at Vienna .
The ' Wiener Zeitung' contains an . ordinance of the Minister of Justice , Schmerlin , completely re-or . ganising the judicial system of Hungary , which , is assimilated to that already promulgated for the other dominions of the crown . One of the main features of this plan is to place the nomination of the judges , who were heretofore elected for a term by the counties and towns in the hands of the crown , by whom they are to be appointed for life . The military commander of Pesth and Buda has
published a proclamation , enjoining the shopkeepers of the two cities to remove any tri-coloured orhamen t that may be found in or around their shops ; and to alter the Hungarian legend on Uieir signboards so as to give it a German translation . Those who refuse obeying this order are to be fined in the first instance . The same proclamation all but forbids the use of the Hungarian language , because ' it is spoken by the disaffected and rebellions . '
The finances of Vienna are in a most sorry condition ; for the year 1850 , its revenue is estimated at 761 , 489 florins , and its probable expenditure at 1 , 715 , 702 florins , leaving a deficit of no less than 954 , 213 florins . An ordinance of the military government at Pesth has given the inhabitants an opportunity cf exhibiting their feelings in a shape which has ctvered the authorities with ridicule and exasperated them with rage . It seems that General
Haynau has taken it into his heard to spare the language of the Magyars as little as their lives ami liberties . A proclamation was issued to the tradesmen to hang out the signs descriptive of their basiness in German . The ingenuity of patriotism has been taxed to the uttermost to ring all the changes of insulting irony in compliance with this absurd exigence . Some remove their s igns altogether ; others paint up very minute German characters and inscriptions close to the immense Magyar ones ; others retain only their names : and so forth .
TURKEY AND RUSSIA . Constantinople , Oct . 25 . —yesterday a Queen ' s messenger arrived here on board the French war steamer Tartare . He was the bearer of despatches from Lord Palmerston for Sir Stratford Canning , and from the French government for General Aupicft . The despatches from London are dated the 9 th inst , and from Paris the 10 th inst . This is the second messenger who bas arrived here from the Foreignoffice within a week , and , in the interval , the usual monthly cour ier from Malta brought despatches to our embassy . In my last letter I informed you that the despatches brought by Lieutenant Rabbins , ' and dated London , Oct . 3 , contained an approval of the conduct of the Porte on the question of extradition ,
and of that pursued by the British Ambassador , who had advised the Turkish government to resist the demands of Russia , and that these communications gave it to be understood that England would grant material support to the Sultan in case of emergency . The despatches received yesterday at the British Embassy expressed more clearly the determination of her Majesty ' s government to form a defensive alliance with the Porte , should the Czar put into execution his threats of aggression . As the first step towards such a measure , orders had been sent to Admiral Parker to put himself into communication with Sir Stratford Canning , and the British fleet , under the Commander-in-Chief , is at the present moment at the mouth of the Dardanelles .
The despatches received yesterday by General Aupick are nearly in the same terms as those from the English government . France approves of the conduct of the Porle atlu of that Of her own envoy at Constantinople . Cokstantinople , October 25 . —Letters received here from Widden mention ' that orders have been sent for the removal of the refugees , in consequence ef the insalubrity of its climate . The Hungarians will go to Roustchouk and Silistria ; the Italians have already set out for Gailipoli , and the Poles for Choumla , with General Wissocki , Count Bysterzanowski , and Prince Zamoiski , '
A letter from Salonica mentions that the new governor-general , llhi . Pacha , had arrived there , and assumed his functions . Business is said to be dull , indeed—and nothing heard lately of the pirates . Fuad Effendi has not yet returned from Petersburg . The Sultan has inspected all the military depots and magazines ; on the 20 th there was a grand review and target practice by the artillery encamped in the valley of Ali-bey-Keni , in the presence of the commander-in-chief , and the governor of the School of Engineers . The practice was excellent .

The emperor has also decreed the imperial crown as hereditary , as also , all its perquisites , titles , & d The imperial po ' iency ranges as far as the east , for there are dukes of places of the Dominican territory , France must now hide her diminished head , and all Europe bow in becoming homage to his'Imperial Majesty of the Occident , In the same paper from which . the above is taken we find a letter said to be written by one of the ob « jecls of the new emperor ' s proscriptions , whose name is concealed , lest its mention should call down on his friends and family the vengeance of the men now in power .
You must have learned that since the early part of last month Soulouqne , resuming the course of his capital executions , iias doomed a new series of vie . tiras to the last pain . Amongst these is one of the most able and intelligent men of the country , Celigny Ardouin , my excellent friend , younger brother of the resident minister at Paris . To join cruelty to ridicule , and at the same time to enhance the measure of his hideous celebrity , the modern Nero , on the 26 th of August , got himself crowned Emperor of Hayti , under the title of Faustin the First . At the date of the latest advices , 7 th September , the entire solicitude of government was concentrated on the
organisation of an imperial court and the creation of ah hereditary nobility . Four princes of the empire , three dukes , and three ladies of honour to the erapress , are already known . The list of the other dignitaries will not be long incomplete , and I shall soon be enabled to place before you the nomenclature of marquises , counts , havons , blights , svjuires , cupbearers , masters of the pantry , officers of the bed-chamber , & c . All this will compose the most curious as well as the most interesting of menagerie ? . As it was necessary . to give au appearance of legality to this ignoble masquerade , the concurrence ol . the legislative boriv became indispensable . To
obtain it , recourse was had to terror , already brought into a system . Hesitation thenceforward became impossible ; the drums beat a general call , and the alarm cannon was fired from Port-au-Prince : and it was under the pressure of the cannon ball and the bayonet that the Senate and the Chamber of Representatives had to deliberate on the question of the transformation of the republic into an empire—a question brought forward under the form of a petition by some of the trusty . An affirmative vote can e to band . The feeling of personal safety prevai ' ed over the wholesomeness of principle , and a new Christophian era opens for this unfortunate country . ¦
Tbe-following extract of a letter is from a gentleman of respectability at Hayti : —• I send you a Haytiah journal , by which you will see that the ferocious atid sanguinary President of Hayti , Sonlouque , has got . himself proclaimed emperor . The news : paper tells you that he owes this elevation to the wish of the people , but this is false j the initiative has been entirely his own , and any member of the legislative body that would have dared to oppose his will would have been drawn out and shot like a dog , as many a worth y man has lately been , by order of this monster . His object is to ex .
terminate the coloured race , and have the country exclusively governed by the blacks . There is no longer safety to coloured men in Hayti . All of this class who possessed anything have been either killed or obliged to flee the coiintrv . Neither sex nor age is spared by this demon and his minister , Salomon , who have sworn together the . extermir . a ' t on en masse of the coloured race . But let us hope that the Almighty will avert the accomplishment of such a crime , and that there may yet be found in Hayti another Brutus to deliver his country from th'i monster , who surpasses in cruelty anythto we have read of Tiberius or Nero .
