The ' TJniverc , ' tbe leading journal and of dmae light , baa made up its mind to a bolder course with respect to Mr . Gladstone than the mass of King Ferdinand ' s admirers have been able to screw their courage to . It asserts roundly , and undertakea to pto \ e hereafter , that not a single fact in Mr . Gladstone ' s two letters will bear examination . ' Meanwhile it maintains that Perdinand is the « worthiest' and 'beat of tings . The President ot the Republic has dissolved the council of arrondissement of Limoges , for having in theirs tting of the 5 lh August expressed a wish that theconstitufon might in future be carried into foil effect , and that the laws contrary to the contiitution , particularly the laws respecting public meetings and the laws upon the liberty of the press , Blight be repealed or mod fied .
A . new democratic committee , consisting of MM . liwreirawi Jotyi Matirieu ( de to Drome , ) A . Schoelctar , Baunei Bertholon , Lasieprie , and Michel ( de B -urges ) feave published a manifesto of immense leng h . Theycall themselves the ' French-Spanish-Italian Democratic Committee of Paris , ' They sign , ' Representatives of the People , Members of the Mountain . ' This committee expla ins the reasons for its formation . The manifesto contains a long disquisition upon religion , evidently ftom the pen of M . Lamennalai who , by the way , was elected a member of the Mountain committee of permanence , but declined , to seise on the alleged ground that he could not remain in Farts . M . Sibour , the Archbishop of Paris , is under lie ban of the ultramontane church , on account
Cf bis liberal opinions . The Pope s Nuncio lately gave a grand dinner , studiously omitting to invite the archbishop . Cardinal Franzooi , of Turin , de * clined to call upon him ,, and many of the aristocratic inhabitants of the Faubourg St . Germain have withdrawn the charitable contributions which were ac customed to pass through his Lands . The Prefect of the Haute-Marae has suspended the Mayor of Bonneconrt , for declining to post up the speech of the President at Poitiers in his district . His assistant , who was ordered by the prefect to perform the mayor ' s duties , has refused to undertake them . The major alleges that the order to post the speech was not an official one to which be was legally bound to attend , aud he felt justified in not obeying it at the expeass of the inhabitants of his commune .
THE TRIALS AT 1 Y 0 XS . The proceedings , subsequent to the point where our report left off last week , have been comparatively uninteresting . The accused have been examined , and the result of the examination is , that they deny having been guilty of the acts alleged against them in tbe indictment . On Friday last , after the court had assembled , one of the accused Soin , iurnituie dealer , said he had known Gent before he was arrested , though he had previously denied that . It was he who had ordered the dinner atMacoD . Nothing blameable had been said at dinner . No one had proposed to send away the servants .
The Public Prosecntor asked the accused if he bad not said in bis interrogatory that one of the principal guests had risen and said that tbe result of the conference was the propriety of the repeal of the law of May 31 ? Tbe accused was about to reply , when M . Michel ( de Bourges ) rose and said . —Does tbe Public Prosecutor mean to maintain that representatives ef the people were at tbe dinner at Macon ? The Public Prosecutor . —I shall see what I have
to say when I shall present my reqnisitory ? ( Sensation ) . M . Michel ( de Bonrges ) . —I must remark that that will be rather late . When the trial is nearly over to corns and say— ' There was a congress at Macon—this or that wa 3 done—and we accuse the representatives who were present , ' would be , I de-Clare , to despise the usual forms of criminal justice . The Presidest . —I will not put the qaeition , foi the representatives are not in case .
M . Michel ( de Biu-ges ) . —Thank God ! you have not the power to judge us , gentlemen , and I centratulate you and ourselves also . The President .- —Advocate , your language is disrespectful to the Court . We have only to judge the accused at the bar ; and I am astonished at hearing such words as yours , after the deference and kindness which I have not ceased to show tbe advocates for the defence ( Marts ol assent . ) M . Michel ( de Bourg-ts . )—God forbid , Mr . President , that I should disregard ycur authority , or forget the gratitude which we feel for the kind impartiality with which you conduct tbe trial . But the Public Prosecutor , after having printed and published that the representatives were at Macon , and were the accomplices of several of the accused , proposes in his requisitorj to nail them to the pillory . Kow , let me be
permitted—The President , —M . Michel , take note of what I say ; neither tbe representatives who were at Macou nor any others are accused . M . Micbel ( de Bourges )—But read the report ; it says , « We are authorised to say that it was intended that an . insurrection should break out before 1852 , ' and it alludes to the representatives of tbe Saone-et-Laire as connected with it . And yet Jon , who are the protectors of the law , think it etraage that we , who are the representatives of the people , should protest against such words . I demand that my question sball be put to the Public Prosecutor .
The President . —I refuse to put it . It does not Concern tbe case . Gent rose and begin to speak , but was stopped by the President , who told him that he could not be allotted to address tbe Court again . The remainder of the proceedings was uninteresting oa Saturday . M . Bergerer , special comtnissaire of police at Lyons , was first called . He said that after tbe ini-urrection of Jane itf . Gent established himself at Lyons . He had great influence in the democratic party . The secret society of the Carbonari took effence at that , and charged some of their members to watch his proceedings . A'ter the vote of the Jaw of the 31 st of May a certain agitation was manifested in the southern departments . An early
insurrection was talked of ; it waB also talked of at Lyons . The rising was , bosrever , postponed , and the general opinion v ? as that H was fixed for the re-assembling of the National Assembly . Gent ' s movements attracted the attention of the " police . Ii learned that he had no resources of hia own , and , consequently , thought that Ms means of existence were the con ' . ri&uiions of ( he party . Gent eventually entered the secietv of the Nourelle Montagne . A _ meeting of the principal democrats was held at Yaleaca , and Gent was there appointed chief of the movement . Meetings Wereftfterwanb held in Lyons , ana { lie police succeeded in getting its agents into forty of them . There was a talk in them of an invasion of France by the insurgents at Genera , as a diversion to the wsunrecti . n in the
south . Gent afterwards went to Macou , where he came to an understanding with the member ; of the Mountain . When he returned he represented to the chiefs of the Carbonari that an insurrection was imminent . They answered , ' It 13 possibls that you ate under sscli pecuniary embarrassments that you cannot W 2 t ; but we will not allow th-Republic to be endan e < d by an a vjnturous ei < - te / P " 5 e - Geat went to Geneva , and letters were addressed to him under the name of ' Marc' Tbe accused Mal ' eval left Ardeche in the month of November to B , k the mot d ordre rt Ljona .

a commissary of police would give up the names ol his agents . M . Ollivier then put several questions , for the purpose of showing that his clients had not been concerned in any plot , but had only formed part of a secret political society . Jean Baptiste Lombard , employe of the ponts-etcitamsees , deposed that he bad belonged to the secret society of the Nauvelle Montagne ; that he bad been chief of a section in it , and that he had been charged to organise societies in the departmenfc of the "Var . He had received the weekly payments of the members , and be had paid them over to Jouvene , the treasurer , who , he understood , had remitted them to Gent . An insurrection was
to have broken out m thQ month of July in the Var , but it was put off . Tbe different committees were not in accord on the point . The signal was to have been given from Lyons . The Nouvelle Montagne was organised in the month of March , 1849 . Witness had made an active propaganda in the Var ; but finding that he was suspected he retired from the society . There was a meeting at Valence , at . tended by Mareseot , Robert , Bouvier , and Lango mazino . The departments were at that time or . eanised , and a chief of the movement was appointed . After the arrest of Gent the conspirators felt alarmed , and secreted the arms and ammunition they had collected . Bouvier was chief of the Nouvelle Montagne in the Basses-AIpes , and Jean Louis was president of the whole society .
In answer to M . Michel ( de BouTge 9 . ) the wit . ness said ihat he had made revelations to the pu * lice , because , on his retiring from the society , tt e conspirators had tbreated to take his life . He , after "ome hesitation , admitted that his mother ' s name was not Lombard , but Bouotfn , and that he h : d been condemned to fourteen months' imprisonment by the Tribunal of Correctional Police of Atx for ToWiery nnd violation of tombs in the cemetery . The Public Prosecutor remarked that the man was a witness and not accused , and need not reply to questions of tbe kind that had been put . Gent , Jean Louis , Dauraus , and Robert put questions to the witness , but they were of no importance . BISTURnAXCES IN FRANCE .
Some deplorable disturbances at Laurac , in the A deche—the political gravity of which will doubtessly be exaggerated—have resulted in bloodshed . The only detailed accounts that have reached Paris are in the 'Courrier ia la Drome' of the 26 th inst . From this—a government paper—it seems clear that the outbreak was provoked by the officious conduct of some gendarmes . At the annual votive fete of Laurac , a place notorious for the democratic opinions of its inhabitants , a detachment of eight gendarmes was sent to watch the proceedings . A certain tavern was pointed out to these men as the favourite resort of democrats . With the intention of creating a row they entered thi 3 tavern , where
they found about a hundred men amusing themselves by singing democratic songs . They ordered them to leave off singing , anil it is not surprising that men thus interfered with in their social enjoyments at their customary annual fete , took no notice of the order . The report then states that five hundred or six hundred anarchists , of the worst reputation , assembled outside the house , and hegan crying'Down with the whites , ' 'Vive Ledru Roilin , ' ' Vive la guillotine , ' 'Vive les rouges . " This was the signal for the gendarmes to attempt to arrest some men in . the crowd , upon which a regular batt ' e ensued . The people used stones and the gendarmes their muskets . Several of the people were hit by
the balls , and every one of the gendarmes was wounded , but no lives were lost . The gendarmes were disabled to such &n extent that not one of them was able to leave the town in search of a reinforcement . They sent a messenger to their lieutenant at Argentieres , who arrived at Lanrac in the course of the night , at the head of thirty ot orty national guards and several functionaries , armed with fowling-pieces , and accompanied by tbe sub-prefect and the procurer of the Republic ! These troops found no rioters to combat on their
arrival , but several arrests have been made . The prefect of the Ardeche ha 3 prohibited all fetes and meetings of every kind in bis department during the months of August , September , and October . The propriety of extending the state of siege to the Ardeche is already suggested . The Courb of Appeal at Ittmes has been specially convoked to tike cognizance of the disturbance at Laurac , and has appointed several of its members to assist the magistrates in their inquiry into the facts . Several moro arrests have been effected .
AUSTRIA . Advices from Vienna , dated the 11 th inst ., state that though the Schwaizenberg-Bach has subdued Italy , overwhelmed Hungary , and bumbled Prussia , yet it cannot boast of having improved the general state of the realm . The finances are worse than ever ; silver is at a premium as high as It was at the time when Austria had no longer an army to oppose to the victorious Hungarians ; and the negotiations for the projected loan have failed . The bankers cannot be easily deceived by superficial panegyrics on the rising prosperity of the monarchy , they know very well that if the amount of bank notes has decreased , there is a more than corresponding increase in the government paper money , and as long as the reduction of the army is
impossible , public credit cannot be firmly established . Bnt how could the army be reduced while all the populations of tbe monarchy are dissatisfied , and Italy is threatening a new outbreak ? In Milan malcontents have begun to placard priming bul - letins in the same way as the invisible government does at Rome . But tbe Ausriana are more vigl lant than the Roman police : a young man of the name of Sctiesa was arrested in the very act of sticking the bulletin on the corner of a street . The Austrian authority offered a large sum of money and perfect amnesty to him if he would denounce tbe party which , employed him , but he declined to betray his friends , and was shot on the very same day . Next morning another bulletin was found sticking on the wall glorifying the name and the act of this hero .
Old Radetsky fears now that he is no longer able to prevent an outbreak , he therefore wants reinforcements , whilst the government cannot spare the troops from Hungary , where passive resistance shows the inimical spirit of the people . No Hungarian of note accepts an office under the AustrianSi and those whom poverty forces to do it loose caste and are treated as Austrian in Society . The costs Of the centralised administration absorb ail the re . venues of Hungary , and the estimates of the Minister of Finance prove all erroneous . The lately introduced monopoly of tobacco would have been an important item of the revenue , the Hungarians all , from the prince to tbe beggar , being worshippers of the fragrant weed ; but , since the monoply was introduced , smoking has ceased . It is not
an invisible government , like in Italy , which issued the order not to consume tobacco , but the universal hatred of the Austrian rule has changed tbe habits of the people ; nobod y is smoking , not even Marshal Haynau . By-the-bye , tbe draymen of Barclay and Perkins can congratulate themselves on their success . The Wows bestowed on tbe Austrian marshal in Banksido have made him the Hungarian oppositionist , wearing the national parb , abusing the Austrian government , and forsaking the beloved cigar aud pipe . But even the cultivation of tobacco has nmch decreased , in consequence of the vtxalions to which the grower is suhjscled , and the daty of two shillings upon tbe » eimer' of wine has thrown the inferior quality of vineyards out of cultivation . The hand of centralising despotism is de stroying everything it touches ,
The j followiag is an instance of the petty fogging tyrannical sp rit of the Austrian government : — Miss Anna Zerr , one of the most distinguished opera singers of the Imperial Theatre at the Ca . rinthian gate , got several years ago the patent of imperial chamber-singer ( karamer-sangerin ) , a distiisction often conferred on celebrated virtuosi . She always has been a favourite of the public . She never meddled with politics , but sh e was too proud &mI too honest to cringe before the powerful . Several of her former friends hare been compromised during the revolution , but she did not forsake them ; and when in the months of June and Julv , she made a trip to London , she visited two of the = xiles residing there . About this time the
cominittae for the relief of : he Hungarian refugees ( jot up a concert at Willis ' s Booms , and Miss Anna Z * . rr was invited to lend her d . UingnieUed talent for this charity Shs resd iy consented to sing , but a sud dej indisposition prevented her from taking part in the coacert . Shortly afterwards she left London and returned to Vienna , vrbare to her greatest surprize , she was compelled to return her diploma of kammer-saengerin , and forbidden to appear on the ^ ge ; uay , eiie was even pat under the surveillance of the police , end cannot leave the to ^ a without a speaiul permission !—and all this because she was ready to aid a charity * which is under the chairmanship of Lord Dudley Stttfrt , and is patronised by 8 99-ato tfg-se-ters of payment , It j 3 a pettv

vengeance upon an artist , but it is at the same time an insult to Hungarians ; and the ministry should keep it in mind that the Hungarians more readily forgive cruelty than insolence .
GERMANY . An article has appeared in the Prussian Journal ' ( the official organ of the government ) relative to the arbitrary suppression of the' Treves Gazette . Without following this writer , who represents the Prussian government , through ttis intricacieB , SUbteF " fujres , and pettifogging escapes and distinctions , it will be sufficient ; , in order to set the matter in its true light , simply to state the case . A very few words will suffice to do this : —The « Treves Gazette , has been suppressed by tbe government . Its special offence is not made known , but whatever that may be , it cannot affect the illegality of the act . The government justifies this acr , by applying to it the
71 st and 74 th articles of the industry ordinance of 1845 , which leaves it in the power of the minister of the interior or provincial authorities , to withdraw printing and publishing licences at bis or their pleasure . The constitution , however , of the 5 h of December . 1848 , which unequivocally pro * ihimed the freedom of the press , it was universally believed , had virtually abolished the articles of the industry ordinance just specified . In this belief the public continued , and the press existed , till OD lllf . 31 st of January , 1850 , when counter-revolutionary and retrogressive sentiments began to prevail , it was declared by the Chambers that these articles had not been abrogated .
A formal law of the press , some months later , followed , which was published and received the royal sanction on the 12 th of May , 1851 . By the 1 st article of this law it is expressly declared that tbe government cannot refuse the licence for printing and publishing to duly qualified persons ; and bj the 54 th . article of the same law it . is also declared , that the printing and publishing licence awarded by the first article may be withdrawn by a judgment of the proper law tribunal , &c , and forfeited alto , gather by two sentences of condemnation from such law tribunals within the space of five years . Here , then , one wnuld think the question set at rest , and so all thought it , till the experiment on the Treves Gazette' was made . A later law must
necessarily abolish all the provisions of an earlier one which stand in contradiction with it . Consequently , the 7 l 8 t and 74 th articles of the industry ordinance , of course , cease to be , the moment the ( aw of the 12 th of May had received the royal sanction . This is the only , the irresistible conclusion , with reference both to the letter and the spirit of that law , its motive and its purpose , to which every fair and honest— -to which every « nperverted—mind must arrive . The ' Preussische Zeitung , ' nevertheless comes to a precisely opposite conclusion on this reasoning ; viz ., the chamber , it 9 ay 9 , based the law of the 12 th of May ( though they never gave a hint of having done so ) on the 71 st
and 74 th articles of the industry ordinance , and thus this law takes for granted , as its foundation , the existence of these articles , which render it a nullity . Besides , the journalist goes on to say , although the law of the 12 ch of May declares that licences to print and publish may be withdrawn by the judgment of the proper law tribunal , it doea not say that they can * only' be withdrawn by that means . The writer lays very great stress on tbe monosylable ' only . ' Indeed , I may say , that his argument entirely rests upon it . Further , with re .
sped to the first article of the press law , vrbicb obliges the government to give licenses to duly qualified persons , the ministerial reasoner insists that , tbis obligation to give , does not infer an incompetency to withdraw licenses from duly qualified persons the moment they are given , if the government so pleases ; so that the same authority may be continually forced to give what it may be continually determined to take awayf making law itself an absurdity . But that which an authority most give , that it cannot under the same circumstances take away .
We have thought it necessary to give this subject at some length , because it shows up the moral character of the Prussian government , exhibited by its prime organ in its prevarications with plain untnistakeable law , and points eut the danger with which the Prussian press is menaced , by this wilful and would-be masterful dricmery . ROMAN STATES . Accounts from Rome , dated the 8 th inst ., state that Mr . Gladstone ' s remarks upon the dungeons of Naples , and the paternal mode in which the Bourbonic sovereign treats his ex-ministers , have been widely although secretly circulated and have produced a most profound sensation , not so much of surprise at tae conduct of King Ferdinand as of exultation at its being made public throughout Europe . The government of his holiness may more
or less be subjected to the same strictures , and it is deeply to be regretted that the French government should have hai the power , without the will , to prevent so many crying sins of misgovernment . It ia true that the French government , as represented in Rome by Mr . de Rayneval and General Gemeau , does not directly persecute the people , but it allows the Roman authorities to do so , and , ia case of need , seconds them in it . The lamentable consequence of such a course is tbe increase of assassination , which threatens to become a complete system of organised vengeance . The last victim of tbe stiletto was an individual named Cesari , in the employment of Cardinal Antoneili , who had the reputation of being a spy . The dagger was left in bis body , and is said to have been precisely of the same description as that which proved fatal to the Chancellor Evancelisti .
Every act of the government seems destined to increase the irritation and discontent prevalent in the provinces . It will be recollected that on the proclamation of the republic the event was greeted with a series of festivities throughout the state , the expenses being , borne by the community of each town or village , represented by the municipality and chief magistrate * The Papal government has now bethought itself of this fact , and lias issued a most sapient circular to the provincial municipalities , declaring that , as the republican government was an illegal one , its orders should have been studiously disobeyed by its subordinates , and that
therefore the magistrates must refund the sums which they expended from the municipal hoards for 50 infamous a purpose as celebi-aling with festive rejoking the downfall of his holiness— ' difatto e di diritto '—irom the sovereignty of the Roman States . Another circular inflicts a fine of two dollars per diem on the chief magistrate of each municipality ) so lo » g as he neglects to enforce the payment of tbe burtbensome tax oa all classes of tradesmen , agricul . 'urisfs , and manufacturers , and professional men of every denomination , which has been SO long banging in terrorem over tbe reluctant population , but which has not lihherta been carried out .
Accounts from Rome da'ed the 10 th inform \ is that it is really astonishing to see with what pertinaeity the papal government carries on measures that must ultimately result in its own ruin . The holy see , although not desfroyed by the republicans , and upheld by the Catholic powers , appears resolved to destroy itaelf , and one of the most effectual means it adopts h that of filling the provinces with rcalcontents , who disseminate hatred to the government in every quarter , and will , on the first opportunity , rise in anus against it . Not a day passes without the police ordering some unfortunate father of a family , established in
Rume ^ since childhood , to leave the city at a few hours' notice , and abandon his connexions and means of subsistence , in order to return to his birthplace , where too often he finds neither friends nor relations left . This plan ruins whole families . Imprisonment ia sometimes substituted for bauishraenr , as in the case of Signor Gregori , who hns the reputation of being a perfectly honest man , but who has been kept in gaol , in solitary confinement , for the last fortnight , for the heinous crime of not having been horn within the walls of Rome , although he was taken there at the tender age of twelvemonths , and has been a constant resident for fifty years .
The insolence of the shirri goes on incrDasing in the sarae measure as the cruelty of their rnastiTS , and these myrmidons now parade the streets and enter the cafes and f ating-housea in search of non-Romans ; so have been born a few miles from the capital is a sufficient offence for a man to be seized and dragged to prison , thence to be packed off , if he i 3 lucky , to his rative home . Thus the holy see , who spiritually opens her arms to the whole w or ! d , and rejoices to receive proselytes from the most distant regions , pursurs a very different system in temporal matters , and denies even her own iubjects the right of visiting or residing at the ssat of government .
AH this gives the tily a deserted and melancholy appearance . The chief amusement of the cit ' zsns , except the religious festivals and ceremonies , concerning which tbe official p ? per speaks in most rapturous terms , has consisted lately in passing- their ereiiiogs in the garden of the Cafe

Nuovo , -fibich is now illuminated by means of an electric light . The experiment has not hitherto met with a very dazzling success , but it may be considered u a step towards scientific improvement , and the same description of light is to be made use of in illuminating the theatres , when they are reopened for the autumnal season . Perhaps novelty of one kind may atone in the opinion of the audience tat want of novelty of another , since none of the modern operas have been judgfid by the censor tdapted to improve the morals of his holiness ' s lieges and after having been successively refused permission to represent twenty-six operas , the titles of which he mentioned one after another , the manager bas been obliged to / all back on the timeworn beauties of Rossini ' s Semiramtde , and bring Assur and Arsace again on the stage .
UNITED STATES . The American mail steamer Atlantic arrived at Liverpool on Sunday last with fifty-two passengers and 110 , 000 dolbrs in specie . She left New York on the 6 th inst . at noon , so that her voyage has occupied about ten days ten hours , a remarkable good run . She arrived out at New York on Sunday , the 3 r d inst ., at six o ' clock , making the voyage in ten days eighteen hours . In the list of the passengers of the Atlantic , is George Collyer , the celebrated yacht and steamboat builder , who goes out to witness the racing of the yacht America , at the Exhibition of the World's Fair . THE CUBAN REYOLUTIONi
New Orleans , Friday , July 25 . —By the ar . rival of the Steamer Falcon , to-day , from Havana , we learn that the patriots had several engagements with the government troops , Tn one battle , it is reported that not less than 300 of the latter were killed . Many of the government troops had joined the revolutionary movement . The Governor ol Matanzas states , in a communication to the Captain General , that the citizens are coming forward
promptly to defend the city against the insurgents . A private letter has been received here from a highly influential American merchant in Havana , seating that the Spanish governments endeavouring t ) smother the particulars of the recent outbreak at Puerto Principe , in order to prevent creating a sensation in the United States . The insurrectionary movement is represented as being quite formidable . Americans have been for some time past drilling the insurgents .
It is said that a ship from New York , with arms and ammunition for the insurgents , had succeeded in landing her cargo . Several others ate daily ex pected to arrive . The government has spies out in all directions . Two Spanish officers of high rank had been imprisoned on suspicion of favouring the insurgents . It is reported that an American had been garrotted , on suspicion of being concerned in the insurrectionary movement . Monday , July 28 .- —A strong feeling is exhibited here in favour of the Cuban patriots . At the meeting on Saturday night a committee was appointed to make collections in behalf of the cause which they are to-day engaged in doing . It is reported that General Lopez ia about to assume command of the patriots .
Great excitement prevails at the south on account of the Cuban insurrection . Several volunteers have lefc Savannah for Cardenas . One thousand men have sailed from New Orleans for the same destination . Two steamers have been purchased by the Cubans and their friends in New Orleans , where it is currently believed that they will obtain pessession of the island in the preseut struggle . A large number of persons in Georgia , Alabama , Louisiana .
and other southern states , are preparing to give their personal aid to the Cuban revolutionists . We learn from Cincinnati that large bodies of young men in that vicinity are waiting for an opportunity to join the same standard . The President exerts the utmost vigilance for the prevention of any overt acts on the part of the Americans against the government of Spain , but the zeal of private adventurers cannot be repressed by the action of public authorities .
We learn that another fire has taken place at San Francisco , by which ten squares of buildings have been destroyed , nnd with them three millions of dollars worth of property . The catastrophe was unfortunately made more disastrous by the loss of several valuable lives . This misfortune is to be attributed to incendiaries , some of whom have been caught , and will meet with summary justice . Strange as it may seem , the inhabitants were rebuilding the burned districts with the same alacrity they have always shown . INDIA .
