France. Me The Following Message From Th...
FRANCE . Me The following message from the President of the _nuhlpublic was read by the _President oi the Assembly Ithe the representation on Friday evening last : — JO __ ¦ THE PRESIDENT OT THB _HAT 1 JSKL
_LEGISLATIVE _ASSEMBLY' _, Monsieur , —Public opinion , confiJing in the _sdaisdam of the Assembly and the - _* oveinment , has _ilt hot been alarmed by the late iucid _^ _nis ; _heverthe-»» 3 , _Iss , France begins to suffer by _divisions which she jp ' _osp ' ores . My dnty is to do what in me lies to premt gnt th * ill results of them . The union of tbe two nweowers is indispensable to the repose of the country , utrotas the constitution has rendered them _inde-:: _ndsndent of each other , the only condition of thh nio . nion is reciprocal confidence . Penetrated with _nis his sentiment , I shall always respect the rights of ne lie Assembly while _maiotainiag intact tbe prerogaivesives of that power which I bold from the people .
n oin order net to prolong a painful dissection , I have ( cc-iccepted , after the recent vote of the Assembly , Ihe he resi gnation of a ministry which had given to Ihe the conntiy and to the cause oi order signal pledges _ilf bf its devotion . Wishing , however , to reconstruct i c » cabinet with chances of duration , 1 could not _HwchooEe its elements in a majority produced by _eiwpt-epVionalciscu-nstances , and have found myself with egregret unable to frame a _combination from among Ihethe members of the minority , notwithstanding its _imjimporunce . In this conjecture , after vain _atteinpts , I hi have resolved on forming a ministry oi transition _—t—of special men , belonging to nofracthm of the
_asAsserably , and determined to devote _tiifcrasplves io to affaits , without regard to pitty _feeling * , and the _aotonourable men who accept ibis patriotic task will haiiave tides to the gratitude of the country . The adadministratian will , therefore , continue as before ; prprejudices will be dissipated befcre * _remera-rauc _* inf of the solemn declaration ofthe message of Nov . 1212 . The real majority will be reconstituted . _flar-Ltninonj- will be re-established without : he two pollers _Lhthaving sacrificed anght of the dignity which con . at _stitutes their strength . France , before all things , idf desires repose , and expects from those whom she Hulas invested with her confidence conciliation w '
uhioi out weakness —calm and unaltered _nmine 33 * s the ii right . Accept , M . le President , the assurances of a a high esteem . Louis Napoleon Bonaparte . ' ' Paris , Jan . 24 , 1651- ' The message wan listened to in _detp silence . T There was no interruption of any kind . The _upp- ' . rs most feeling seemed surprised , although something _0 of this kind was expected . The following is the transitioual Ministry : —interior 3 M . Vai 5 se ; Foreign Affdirs , M . Brennier ; _"S ' ar , C General Randon ; Marine , Admiral Levaillant ; _1 Public Instruction , M . Gii _ ud ( de l'lustitut ) Comnxaerce , M . Schneider ; Finances , M . de Germiny ; IPahlic "Works , M . Mieue ; Justice , M . de _Royet .
It will be seen that not one of the members of ithe new Cabinet is a representative of the people , 1 They are all employes in different departments , and t the reason given fur the sclt-ction is detailed at length i in the subjoined message . M . Vai 3 ie is Prefect of the Department of the ] North , and is said to he an able administrator . Id . Brennier . the new Minister of Foreign Affairs , : is chef de division in the same _department . M . Giraud is a well-known number of the Institute , and Inspector-general of the University . He was formerly profegror of the University of Aix , and was a memher of ihe _Chamber of Deputies in the time of M . Guizot .
M . de Germiny , the new Minister of Finances , is a receiver-general , and son-in-law of M . Humana , who was Minister of Finances many years ago . He is a particular friend of M . Fould , and his appointment to office is , no doubt , to be attributed to that intimacy . M . Magne , the Minister of Public Works , was chef de division in the department of the _fioaucej- _, when he was suddenly transformed into a Minister of Public Works in the Baroche Cabinet which ha ? just broken up . He is the only member of the late Cabinet who retains office . M . de Royer , the new Minister of Justice , is Pro . _curt-ur-General in the Court of Appeal oi Pads . Mr . Levaillant , Minister of Marine , is aa _admiT _ l who commanded a division of the French fleet cn the coast of Italy during the Roman expedition _.
The Assembly have passed a bill , declaring that all representatives who shall not have arranged with their creditors in three months from the time of being called on , shall , forfeit their seats in the Assembly . On Saturday last notice was given hy Mr . Tranchire of his intention to interpellate the new rainiitevs , and it was expected that this would lead to a very stormy debate , and probably the overthrow ofthe ministry . On Monday he interpellated the
ministers , and said , that for the first time in the parliamentary annals of France , a cabinet had been appointed consisting exclusively of persons not belonging to the legislative body . He demanded whether this proceeding on the part of the executive power was incidental or part of a system . Ii the ministry were reall y one of transition it would be a sign that that power was lowering its tone . But to lower one s tone is not always to answer with sufficient distinctness . He wonld now ask the
government to what it was leading them , and to whom ? He then entered into an examination of the ori gin of the ministry , and called upon the ministers to explain the nature of the policy which they intended to follow ; for it was not enough for reassuring alarmed and uncertain mind ? , tbat they were persona unknown to the Chamber or the country . He called in question the seriousness of the attempts made to form a ministry out ot members of the Assembly , and assigned as proofs of the insincerity of the negotiations entered into with
this abject the feet of M . Wayssc having been summoned from Lille by the telegraph on the same day that M . Leon Fauc ner was charged with the mission of forming a cabinet ; so tbat even tbe English papers were not able to predict that a cabinet would be formed in the way in which-it had turned ont . _"Vlith respect to the policy which the ministry intended to follow , he wanted to know if the government intended to apply the electoral law of 31 st May to all elections , or to exempt the election of the President from tbis application .
M . River , Minister of Justice , rose , ou the part of the government , to reply . His answer was short , and couched in a conciliatory tone . He said that the government when it spoke of the independence of the two powers mentioned in the message , and commented on with so much distrust , meant nothing at variance with what had been laid down b y the constitution . He was exceedingly explicit in his declaration that the ministry was essentially transitory , and meant to be nothing else . It was an adminUtrative cabinet , not a political one—a cabinet of transition , conducting in the shortest delay to a definitive cabinet .
_Matbieu de la Drome then taxed the legitimists aad Oiieamsts with the want of confidence expressed by their leaders in the permanence of the republic , and showed that they bad set the example to the government of Louis Napoleon to prepare a solution in his own favour . Tbe matter then dropped by passing to the order of the day , without any grand display on either side , so that all the boasting and great expectations entertained about the result of this debate have ended in smoke . It deserves particularly to be noticed that , when interrogated by MM . Hovyn-Tranchere and Mathieu de la Drome with regard to the application of the electoral law of Mar 31 st to ihe election of the President , the ministers remained silent .
T _» new * Minister of tbe Interior has sent a circular to all the Prefects , directing them to have the me « age of the President of the Repub'ic printed and posted np . ih all the communes of each department . AH tha people recently taken up for belonging to the _secret society called the ' Union des _Commuaes " have been liberated , with the exception of five _psrsons .
SWITZERLAND . Advices from Berne of the 21 st ult . inform ns of an insurrection which has broken out at Interlaken . A hand of insurgents attacked the _governmeuthoEseon the 20 ih ult . They were opposed by the troops , and an en _^ _ageuM-nt ensued , in which the _rio-ers were repulsed The Stadtholder , Dr .

ROME . The fallowing is pa ihe- authority of ihe corres . _ponrien ? of the ' -rimes , ' and it seems to have an air of probability about it : — ' I am told in a high quarter that Pio Nino , more tban once during bis residence at Portici , stated to the cardinals most in his Confidence , that he hid _serioos _ibonebto of abdica-

ting _, and that if such a step could be reconciled with the interests of the church he was prepared to take it ; bnt tbat tbe cardinals , . though the vista of the Popedom was opened to each , were nnanimous in condemning tbe measure _as'untimely , and _mtreated him to relinquish the . idea . ; ' 1 W > ir _/ tbey said , * at least till yonr restoration to the Quinnal , and do not give Mazzini and the Republic the triumph of boasting that in your person they have destroyed the Papacy , and that your abandonment of place and power was caused alone by them . The Pope allowed himself to be persuaded by this _reasoning , but I am informed that , since his retnrn to Rome , _kiB longing . for the quiet of a convent recurs
with doable force , and tbat the cardinals , seeing bow _strongly his mind is bent that way , are less indisposed to accede to his desire than they were at Naples . Nay , I am assured that the question is at this moment the subject of their secret councils , and that matters have proceeded so far as tbat the convent where Pius IX . means to end his days has already been named . The fact 13 , Pio Nono is not a man suited to his position ; he is reli gions even to _bigotry , and he looks to no consolation in this life beyond lhat which the severity of monastic rule , in his opinion , insures . I bear , _likewise , that he is deeply pained at the results of the . liberal policy which he was ihe first to _in'roduce in the Peninsula , and that he holds himself responsible to the
Almighty for all the evils that in consequence of it bave fallen on his native soil . I have always _understood that the Pope is in heart what is called * a true Italian , ' and that his supposed duties as a Sovereign have been since 1848 in constant conflict with his opinions as a man . He sees now tbat there is no hope for Italy without further bloodshed , and ere the struggle be recommenced he wishes to retire from all further responsibility . I have no doubt but that every word I now say will be _regarded by many as pure invention , and tbat when this letter finds its way . to Rome it will receive immediate contradiction in the official gazette ; but you knew me too well not to give credit to what I write , or to doubt for- a moment the _soundness of the information on which I act . For
ray own par t , 1 see _ .- > other way for this fine country , and people worthy of a better fate escaping from their present difficulties . Nothing short of a revolution can procure good government , or rathet toot ont the evils that are inherent in the present order ; and happy it will be for the Roman States , and Italy in general , if that revolution be moral , and not physical , and that while the spirit of good is maintained the abuses that now _prevail may be effectually eradicated . While Pio Nono rei gns nothing can be done , because he neg lected to take advantage of the opportunity of
making sound reform afforded him by the overthrow of the Republican party and jhe favourable disposition of his French allies ; and because he has not availed _hi mself of the protection afforded by Austrian and French troops to improve his Administration and introduce into it as much of public representation—without which no form of government can last—as is consistent with the _rights of property . What may take plate under a new Papal Soverei gn time alone can show ; but all reasonable people here are desirous of a change , as all hope of amelioration is extinct under the system that now prevails .
I am credibly informed that Cardinal Autonelli is at this moment occupied in drawing up an expose des motives to justify the late measures taken for tbe establishment of a hierarchy in England , and that tbis document will see the light npon the opening of our parliament . It is , I am told , ably and modestly written , and the author entertains hopes that its publication will tend to mitigate the excitement that now prevails with you . I am fmthtt informed tinatAntoneWi is far from approving the precipitation with which tbe measure , so cautiously prepared , bad been ushered into life ? and he deplores that the matter was not done in another shape or that the same steps were not taken
simultaneously in the United States of-America , where they would have been passed by without notice . Though rather late in the day , he proposes to create three cardinals in the United States ,. and to develope a series of measures equally calculated to arouse the fears of a Protestant public there as those which have been so unadvisedly proclaimed with ns . Such a mode of extricating himself from a difficulty is worthy of an Italian Minister ' s invention . I have heard a great deal of unmeaning talk on this subject , with a multitude of professions , that no barm was meant to Protestant England and that no injury to the establishment could possible arise ; but tbe only man that has spoken
the plain truth has been an Irish Dominican friar , who preached a most eloquent sermon a few days since in the church of St . Andrea de la Valle , of which—not being able to be present—I have received the following report . — ' His chief topic was tbe triumph of the Roman Catholic church over Paganism , and its presenthigh and exalted position ; and he dwelt at some length on the special object which had been intrusted to him , and to the two other British divines who had preceded him in that pulpit on former days—namely , tbe _collection of a sum of money for the building of a church in London for the special use of the numerous foreigners who annually flock there , and who complain of the
present limited accommodation . He then alluded to the agitation wbich prevailed in England on the subject of the late Papal measures , and , while he expressed his deep sorrow that they had cau-ed so much irritation , admitted that the true and sacred object contemplated by them was the consolidation of the Roman church in London and the conversion of Protestant England to its ancient faith . 'Yes , ' he added , ' the conversion of England will he a great gain to tbe interests of true religion— -England , which by her power influences all the nations of the earth , and with her language encircles tbe
globe-England , which by her commerce , her enterprise , aud her industry , not only enriches herself , but also the several regions of the earth with which she carries on her boundless and extraordinary traffic—yes , the conversion of England would be a great gain . Let me beseech you all to pray with me for the completion of this holy object , and the speedy return of England to the bosom of the Catholic Church . ' This appeal , I am told , was answered by the whole congregation kneeling down and joining in a common prayer , Lord Feilding being remarked among the most devout ;
The efforts of the Mazzini party , are already bearing fruit . A great many people have been arrested , and the police have committed what would be called with ns grievous outrages _agamst individual liberty . A number of young men who were singing after the theatre the night of the 17 th ult . at the . restaurant of the Falcone , were searched for arms , and confined one day in prison , and some violence also took place in the Piazza di Spagna . It is said that the Papal government has required a change of quarters of the French troops , _alleging tbat many of them in Rome are fraternising with the . people , to wbich the French General has of course returned a most indignant answer , ' rendering due justice to the discipline and loyalty of the army of occupation .
A report bas been circulated tbat General Garibaldi , a 3 captain ef an American vessel ' with the United States ! flag , has left New York , and it is said that the Cardinals were so frightened that they contemplated flight _.
PRUSSIA . - . Baron Henry Amim , supported by MM . de Vincke , Caavphauserj , von Amnion , and some twenty-five others of the Constitutional' party in the First Chamber , have drawn up a motion , and laid it before tbe first Chamher , which , afterVeciting the reported occupation of Scbleswig Holstein by Austrian and . Prussian troops , contrary to agreements _, cnncludfs b y proposing to the
government' 1 . Tbat it should take care that the Convention concluded between the Prussian and Austrian Commissioners with the Stadtholderate , in the name of the German Confederal nn , should he held aud observed as sacred by Prussia and Austria , as this has been done by the said Stadtholderate ; and incase , also , that tbe Commissioners sent to Kiel should have overstepped their instructions , that they should be disavowed , and the convention concluded refused ratification . '
' 2 . Under every circumstance , that care should be taken that parts of Holstein which notoriou . Oy belong to the German Federal territory , or relative to which controversy exists , shall not be occupied , even provisionally by any but by German troops until tbe final regulation of the _Schleswig Holstein question . ' This proposition was referred to a committee .

would not afford it , the debt being very heavy , and the revenue hardly sufficient td cover tbe current outgoings . Further , the Senate observed , the City was in so qmeb a state tbat there was not the least fear for disturbances , and consequentl y no armed force was wanted to quell disturbances , or to prevent any outbreak , and that the march of the array from Lauenhurg might be made on other roads equally as near . Should it , however , be found indispensable b y the General , the Senate -went on to say , tb march some detachments through this , city or her territory , they would meet with a hearty welcome as friends helonging to the League An . answer from the General stated that he regretted he ceuld not comply with the wishes of the Senate ,
that , the Vanguard of a corpse of 4 , 000 would arrive at Hamburg on Sunday , and the remainder were to follow the next day . The Senate met again and summoned the College of the Ancients . The debates ; it is . said , were very warm , and it was proposed to apply for assistance to those foreign powers who guaranteed tbe independence of this state in the Vienna treaties ol 1815 . ' It was further observed , that most of those troops , were not germans ; they could , therefore , not be legall y employed for tbe executive purposes of the German _League , hut must be considered as foreign invaders . Whether this view was adopted by the majority , and whether any steps will be taken in consequence , is very doubtful ; tbe Senate is b y far too timorous to act with decision . . :
The Senate has submitted , and prepared for the reception of the unwelcome visitors . A proclamation bas been published , in which the Senate informs the citizens of Hamburgh thai their town , will receive a * i Austrian garrison . A regret is expressed that the city could not forego ' this burden , ' but at ihe same time the Senate trusts that the Ham * _burttiiers will receive their guests with all kindness and due consideration . It was expected that the troops would enter Hamburgh on the 28 th ult .
" e ' SPAIN . ' Itis reported that some disagreement has arisen between the Ministry and the Committee-chosen to prepare a new law for the press . The former proposed to introduce into the bill trial by-jury , which was resisted by the Committee as calculated to be prejudicial to the public peace .

The Copenhagen journals publish a Royal order , according to which tbe natives of the Duchy of Schleswig . who are discharged from the Holstein army and return to their homes are not to be subjected to any molestation or prosecution of any kind for having borne arms during the last two years against the King of Denmark ; ' hut this amnesty does not extend to the officers who before the 24 th of March , 1848 ; were in the Danish service , and have since that date been iri the army of the insurrectionary government .
On the ni ght of the 22 nd ult . a Danish patrol approached so near tbe out-works of the fortress of Rendsburg , in Holstein , that it was challenged , and no answer being given to tbe wer da of the sentinel , he fired , and a Danish hussar fell mortally wounded . The Danish outposts are now not more than two English miles f rom Rendsburg , but the communication with the town from the north is not interruptrd . The disbanding uf the Holstein army is proceeding rapidly . . Tbe indirect taxes of Bel g ium during the past year amounted to 76 , 885 801 fr ., being 2 , 875 , 742 francs more than the year before .
An anticipated rising of the slaves in the state of Virginia has been causing much apprehension for the continuance , of " tranquillity in the southern districts of the Union . Upwards of 600 slaves , and these belonging to different plantations , - are supposed to be implicated in the apprehended insurrection . '' . ' . ' . In Madrid on Saturday last , at live in the afternoon , when the Queen and King Consort were on their way to Atocha Church , one of the bulls
destined for tbe bull fight on the following day escaped from its driver , and placing itself abreast of the leaders of the royal carriage , accompanied them to a considerable distance , till at length- by the dexterity of the coachman , who gave tbe horses a sudden turn , they got rid of their dangerous companion . The hull then turned to the left , and rushed into the crowd , trampled several persons under foot and ' gored an old woman , and was finally driven out of _Olivar-gate . ' . ¦ i . : .
Don Andres Borrego _, Don Ramon de la Sagra , and Don Isac Vtllaneuva , have been appointed as Royal Commissioners to represent the Spanish nation during the Exhibition at London . InLake Superior the vestiges of apparently very ancient mining operations continue to be met with , and in greater numbers and extent than any previously discovered . The age of these traces is supposed to be at least 2 , 000 jeats ; but their connection with a particular race has not been ascertained .
There are indications , however tbat the copper wa 3 carried off from the mines'b y the way of St . Mary-River and the lakes . The excavations found are , in some cases , such as could only have been effected by years of labour , and they bave very much facilitated the miners , as well as pointed them to the best locations . It is said that a road from Green Bay to tbe most southerly point of Keewenaty _would be less than 200 miles in length , and shorten the present route at least 100 miles ,
In Boston , United States , Collector Greeley has seized the British steamer Niagara for violation oi the revenue ' laws , On the . night of the 13 th ult _.-a boat was seen going from the steamer , which . was boarded by an officer _; and found to contain silk and lace . Other li ght goods were found upon the wharf where they had been loading ; in all to the amount of from 5 , 000 dols . to 10 , 000 dols . It is supposed tbat the crew , and not the officers ofthe ship are implicated in the transaction , and that the ship will be released by the Secretary of the treasury . In the meantime United . States . officers have been placed on board .
The slavery agnation between the Northern and Southern States is now fast subsiding , and several fugitive slaves re-captured in the free States , on due proof of identity and ownership , have been taken back quietly . The Governor of Indiana ; in a recent message to bis Legislature , warmly approves of tbe Fugitive Slave Law . Indiana is a free State . Boston will probably carry off the palm among American cities atthe ' "World ' s Fair , ' as she has already collected specimens from Massachusetts ; sufficient to measure , as freight , 8 , 000 ' superficial feet . Among the articles area _doEen or more of pianos , _s'atuary , machinery , manufactures of cotton and wool , shawls , & c . ' ' '
A letter from Vienna , dated the evening of the 23 rd ult ., states that a conspiracy of a revolutionary nature had been discovered at tbat capital . Some twenty individuals had heen arreBted . Theconspiracy is said to have ramifications in all parts of Germany . It was-discovered from some correspondence seized by order of Count _Leinvngen at Cassel . The- Arch bishop ' of Paris bas issued a circular to his clergy , in which he . at . some length exposes the impropriety of the clergy meddling in _political-affairs , and thereby making themselves party men ; and , in accordance with . the recent decree of the Council of the _Province ; he specially forbids them from becoro * ing candidates at the next elections . He ' exhorts them , both by example and precept , to respect the laws , and dwells on the necessity of displaying patrioiism . -
Instructions . have been sent out to M . Dillon , French Consul at Sail Francisco , to furnish data f or a complete work dn the production of gold in California , all the statistics hitherto published oh this important _aubjfitt being either incomplete or incorrect . i An announcement in a semi-official forth has ap . pearfd in the Ministerial 1 paper of Berlin , which shows the increasing tyranny of Prussia . _According to the provisions of the . Prussian passport regu _Jations , foreigners are only allowed fo enter the kingdom when furnished with passports from the authorities of their own countries , or those of Prussian officials—of course ; ambassadors or consuls . But for English subjects ari exception was made on
the ground that English passports can . only ... be obtaire-1 of the ! Foreign-office , on the payment of a high fee , there being no subordinate authorities who can grant them . For English subjects , therefore , it was enough to be provided with the raw of- the Prussian or Belgian Consuls , according to the route of the journey . -This privilege is now to be abolished , and it is announced by the Prussian police that every _English subject entering ' Prussia must have an Eng - lish—lhat is , a Foreign-office—passport , only obtainable on payment of the fee . of < £ 2 " 12 s . 6 d . A tax to that amount is , in fact , about to be levied on all English ; travellers , to Germany , for it is scarcely possible to proceed in any direction without entering the doininions of Prussia . The only reason alleged ( or this nev regulation is , that the privilege

bas been ' abused . ' No case or cases are alleged , nor have the police reports of Berlin ! _"or any other Prussian oily revealed any instance of English offenders against the laws of the land , political " or criminal ; _whd could have been , concealed or prevented by any system of passports whatever . The ' Vote Universal , ' a French paper , earnestly recommends a subscription for the relief of French refugee ' s in London and Switzerland . The Austrian Minister lias addressed a note to the Greek government complaining of the protection afforded by Greece to the Italian exiles , who thus transform the country into a _focus ; of revolu tion , by fprming societies , striking medals , with the effigy of the most prominent men in the late
struggles ' and thus ! exciting the sympathies of the Greek people . . The note concludes with a sort of menace , to the effect that the more interest the Greek nation takes in these unfortunate men , the more severity will be displayed in Italy by the Imperial ' _¦ ovemraent towards its subjects .. The same paper mentions a note addressed by tbe Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs to . nil tbe members of the dip lomatic corps , informing them tha t _, in consequence of a new regulation adopted by his colleague the Minister of FinaHce , they will henceforth be obliged to specif ) with the greatest precision the contents of tbe different sealed parcels or boxes addressed to them from foreign countries , exempt from duty in consequence bf international
custom . About six months ago , ten men of the splendid Circassian regiment quartered in Poland deserted with arms arid horses , and after a ride across country , performed with wonderful speed , safely reached the Prussian frontier , where they addressed themselves to the gensd ' armes , and were conducted aa they arrived to the residence bf the nearest civil authority at Snowraston , iii Poseii , Through the means of au interpreter they stated that they had deserted on acciiint of ill-usage , and desired to be conducted to Berlin , there to enter the Prussian service , or to be allowed to return as best they could to the East . A cartel for the exchange of
deserters between Russia and Prussia rendering it impossible to grant this request , especially as they were forthwith claimed by tbe Russian military authorities , they were ordered to lay down th' _-ir arms and to follow the officers sent to . conduct them back . This being explained to them , they not only refused , but upon the military authorities approaching to execute their orders , the brave but unfortu . nate men first resisted , and then , setting spurs to their jaded horses , endeavoured to escape , they knew not whither . A pursuit ensued . Of the ten , two or three were shot ; the remainder having galloped a short distance , fighting tbe while , threw themselves into a ( arm building , where they
continued to defend themselves until a detachment of infantry came to ' the assistance of thepursiiing dragoons . The farm buildings were set on ' fire , and , at length , after a most desperate resistance , the survivors , six in number , were captured , but not before they bad killed and wounded , two or three of their assailants . Five of these survivors were brought up on the 20 th , before the jury at Bromberg ( Posen ) , to take their trial for killing and maiming the Prussian soldiers , and resisting _, with arms in their hands , the _pub'ic authorities . The sixth survivor bad not sufficiently recovered from his wounds to admit of his attendance . All are Mahomedans and natives of the Caucasus
districts . The accused , jrho attracted the _greatest sympathy , were provided with interpreters , among whom was an officer of their own corps , sent by Prince Paskiewitch to attend the trial . On the question being put , whether they were guilty or not guilty , one replied , in the name of the others , that they could not answer , being utterly ignorant of . the . laws . The ' trial then proceeded . Divers witnesses clearly proved all the facts of resistance , and of the killing and wounding of Prussian soldiers , but either from a desire to spare the unfortunate strangers or from conviction , all gave it . as their opinion that the Bhots which took effect were f ired hy one or more of the four men who lost their lives in the encounter . As regarded the question of resistance , the accused declared that it was against their religion and
obligations as warriors to submit with arms in their hands , or to deliver up their arms , until overpowered . In corroboration of this the Russian officer , Count Simonisch , stated , under similar circumstances , he would not have ordered them to throw down their arms , even in . Russia . After all the witnesses had been examined , the jury retired , and returned with a verdict of guilty of resisting the authorities with arms , in their hands , but not guilty of homicide or wounding . In consequence of this the court condemned the prisoners to two years' imprisonment in a fortress . The Circassians , who-appeared to have anticipated a more severe punishment , on being delivered up to Russia , thanked the judges warmly , and exclaimed , We would rather receive sentence of death here , than pardon there ( iri Russia ) .

Every age has produced some new system of artificial therapeutics which the next age has banished ; each lias boasted in its turn of cures , and they , in their turn , have been con demned as failures . Medicines themselves are the _subjacts unsettled ; in fact , that it lia * no established principles , that it is little more tlian conjectural *! ' At this moment , ' says ilr . Pinny , the opinions on the subject of treatment are almost as numerous as the practitioners , themselves _. Witness the mass of contradiction _» n the treatment of even one disease , namely , consumption . Stroll attributes its frequency to the introduction of bark , iforton considers bark an effectual cave . _Ueid ascribes the frequency of the disease to the use of mercury . _Drillonet asserts that it is
curable by mercury only . Ruse says that consumption is an inflammatory disease — should be treated by bleeding , pun-in *" , cooling medicines , and starvation . Salvadori says it is a disease of debility , and should be treated by tonics , stimulating remedies , and a generous diet . Galen rec & mmended vinegar as ; the best preventative of consumption . _Dessault and others assert that consumption is often brought on by taking vinegar to prevent obesity . _Beddoes recommended foxglove as a specific . Dr . Parr found _foxgleve more injurious in his praetice than beneficial . Such are the contradictory statements of medical men ! ' And yet there can be but one true theory of disease , Of the fallibility and inefficiency of medicine , none bave been more conscious than medical men themselves , many of whom have'been honest enough to avow their conviction , and now recommend MESSKS . DU UAltBY'S KEVALBNTA ARABICA FOOD , a farina , which careful analysis has shown to be derived from the root of an African plant , somewhat
similar to our honeysuckle .

Sin . ;—Your , Valuable pills havo been the means , with God ' s blessing , of restoring me to ' a state of perfect health , and at a time when I thought I was on the brink of the grave , I had consulted several eminent doctors , who , after doing what tliey could for me , stated that they considered my case as hopeless . 1 ought to say that Ihad been suffering from a liver and stemach complaint of long standing , which during the last two years got so much worse , that every one considered my condition as hopeless . I , as a last resource , got a box of your pills , which soon gave relief , and by persevering in their use for some weeks , together with rubbing night and morning your Ointment over my chest _illld StOUiach _, and right Side , I have by their means alone got completely cured , aud to the astonishment of myself and everybody who knows me . —( Signed ) Matthew Habvex To Prole 8 sor _Hoixoway .
