FRANCE . The so-called journals of order had counted on the reception of Kossuth at Southampton being a complete fwlttiei They exhibit then duapp-oroittent i » sneers . The' Presse * and other . democratic papers enter with enthusiasm into the grandeur of this welcome , which tbey regard as an era in the history of nations , Kossuth ' s speech is given in full , and reads admirably in French . The ambiguous explanations of the 'Debate' re . Htive to the intentions of the Prince de Joinville ,
have disconcerted the bulk of the leading Orleamats , who counted hitherto upon the certainty of the Prince ' s acceptance . This party now wish to know the definitive decision of the younger branch , and desire some certain pledge by which to rule tneir proceedings . They have accordingly held a meeting at the house of one of their chiefs , and deeded to despatch a confideotial envoy to Claremont to learn as distinctly as poriM * «>« «««' the P ™ *» & Bis family . In the meantime , the candidature of Joiovifie is making progress ; particularly in Normandy , where they say that he is pretty sure to carry the Say . In the departments of the south the leg itimists incline to the candidature of Cbangarnier , which is assiduously preached by their local press .
M . de Lamartine sends , from his retirement at Monceaux , an emp hatic protest against all rupture of legality in the crisis of 1852 . He will go no further than the repeal of the law of May 31 sr , the partial revision of the Constitution , the possibility of the legal candidature of the President ; but will not admit any propaganda in favour of this candidature . Outside the Constitution lie every sort of adventure , and the transgression of it will lead to ruin . NEW MINISTRY .
The new cabinet has teen at last foimen , and was announced in the' Moniteur' on Monday last . The names are as follow : —Justice , M . Corbin , Procureur-General of the Court of Appeal of Bourges ; Foreign Affairs , M . Tnrgot , formerly peer of France ; Public Instruction , M . Charles Giraud , member of the Institute ; Interior , M . de Thorigny , formerly Adroca te-General of the Court of Appeal at Paris ; Commerce , M . Casabianca , representative ; Public Works , M . Lacrosse , Vice-Preeident of the
Assembly ; War , General de St . / Imaud , Commander of the Second Division of the Atmy of Paris ; Marine , M . Hippolyte Fortoul , representative ; Finance , M . Blonde ! , Inspector-General of Finance , M . Charles Giraud is charged , ad interim , with the Ministry of Justice , during the absence of M . Corbin . M . Turgot is charged , ad interim , with the Ministry of Finance during the absence of M . Blondel . II . de Maupas , Prefect of the Haute-Garonne , is appointed Prefect of Police .
Oi the sew ministers MM . Casabianca , Lacrosse , St . Arnaud , Giraud and Fortoul are decided BonapartistB . MM . de Ttiorigny , Corbirv and Blondel , are extra parliamentary , and rather of the order of ordinary functionaries than statesmen . The new ministry were assembled on Sunday last at the Elysee , where tbey held a conference from two to five . Emile de Girardin says : — ' Whatever be the character of the new cabinet , the ministers who propose to repeal the law of May 31 st , seed ouly this reason to have the support of all who do not desire civil war . '
Disturbances have taken place in the Var . The prefect having ordered the closing of a democratic club at Garde-Freinet , and the members having broken the sealed doors and met in despite of the authorities , a considerable force of gendarmes and troops of the line marched against them from Draguignan , and took nine prisoners , among whom was the apothecary of the place . An immense mob , of which the female portion displayed excessive fury , followed with their clamours and curses for two miles the departing escoit . Incendiary fires broke onl on the nig hts of the 21 st and 22 nd ult . in the house of the mayor and of his predecessor in office . An inhabitant who had attempted to check the populace was fired at and wounded .
There are no men of political importance on the new cabinet . Apparently the most important member of the ministry is Count Turgot , Minister of foreign Affairs , who was a member of the Chamber of Peers under the late monarchy , and is a descendant Of the celebrated Minister of Finance oi Louis XVI . The lustre of his name and the distinction of his antecedents caused the report of Id ' s accession to the cabinet to be received witb great Jealously by the parliamentary party , whose chief organs , the ' Ordre * and MeTsager , ' repeatedly contradicted this fact . The Ministers of Public Works and Commerce are Bonapartists , the others being
Reactionaries . M . Hippolyte Fortoul , Minister of Marinp , is also an Blysean , and a member of the Assembly , where he represents the department of the Basses-Aipes . M . Fortoul began life as a literary man ,, with Radical political principles , and distinguished himself by contributions to the' Revue de Paris / ' L'Artiste / and the l National . During the latter years of the reign of Louis Philippe , M . Fortoul obtained the professorship of literature at Aix , since which period his politics have veered round to Conservatism . His name has been frequently mentioned in the latter ministerial crisis . M . Fortoul was formerly a Saint Simonian . He is a fluent speaker . GERMAN ! . T&IAL OF THK PERSONS IMPLICATED IN THE
LIBERATION OF KINKEL . Advices from Berlin dated the 22 nd ult ., state that the trial of a turnkey of the prison at Spandau , named Brune , and the landlord of a publichouse in the same place , Eruger , for assisting the escape of Professor Kinkd from the prison on the si g ht of the 6 th of November last , came on the day before at the criminal court . A student , named Schurz , was also included in the charge , but as he has fled the country the evidence as against him was not taken . The proceedings excited considerable interest ; though several political prisoners had escaped from the fortresses to which tbey had been consigned , it was not considered extraordinary , as
Within the walls they had a certain degree of freedom of movement , and could keep up a correspondence with persons outside the fort . But Kinkel , who had been convicted of treason , was in close confinement , and treated in every respect as a felon , wearing the convict dress , and having to spin wool as an occupation . He was rigidly watched , and his prison had been changed more than once as a precaution . The cell he inhabited was on tbe second stage of the huMing , in the interior ; it had two grated windows , and was divided into two portions by a latticed screen . At night Kinkel vras locked into the inside division , and the outer one waa closed by two strong wooden doors fastened with
iron . The two fceys were deposited every evening with one of the chief officers of the prison . On the evening of tbe 6 : h of November the cell was closed as usual ; at half-past five o ' clock the next morning it was found empty . The outer door was locked , but the latticed screen and the inside door had been broken through . Tbe prisoner most have had help from the outside , aud suspicion fell on the turnkey Brune , who was immediately arrested . Kinkel , notwithstanding all the ifforts of the police , escaped to England . The trial , it was expected , would
throw some li ght on the manner in which the escape was effected , and it is , in fact , described in the admission made by the . turnkey himself during the preliminary inquiry . He stated , — 'In the middle of Ocober of last year be was one daycalled out of the prison to speak to an unknown person in the slrest . He first refused to go , but at last went out , and fousid a young man , who claimed acquaintance with him as a fellow-countryman , asked after Kinkel ' s health , and finally requested hiai to convey some Utters to the prisoner . The young man was a student named Scburz . He bad
many interviews with Lim afterwards , and at last he wa 3 offered 400 thalere and a provision for life , if he wouid effect Kinkei ' s escape . He was on the other hand threatened with eternal persecution if he divulged anything about the offer . At last oeconssnted , M . Kruger having become guarantee lor the reward to be paid him , and persuaded him V I " ua ^ M - Kiukel 8 bould be an J B SUrf ?

The next » ight lie got possession of them by opening the press ia tbe Inspector ' s office where they were kept ; hat instead of letting the prisoner out at the door ] ne tools him through several work roans s to an ungrated window on the first floor . Schurz was

waiting in the street with % strong rope , which he palled up to tbe window by a packthread ; Kinkel tied it round his waist , and was thus lowered into the street , ' ' . *** . * in an after examination Brune denied he bad 6 VeraclnaMv received any money , asserting he had aided the escape out of mere humanity . One hundred and fifty-one tbalers were found in Wb room , fifty of them in gold ; but be produced evidence from the Savings Bank that the sum had been withdrawn from it , and belonged to his wife and son . Tbe jury , however , did not believe he had been misled by bis humane sentiments alone . The popular character of his avocation was against him— - . . ' Seldom when
The steeled gaoler is the friend of men V and it assumed he had been promised a bribe , if he had not actuall y received one , The trial lasted till a late hour of the evening , when the jury , to the questions put by the CUUTt i found him guilty of wilfully assisting the escape of a state prisoner for a promised teward in money . He was ten fenced to three' years ' imprisonment in the House of Correction , and deprivatoi of civil rights ; with a declaration of unfitness to hold any Government employment herf after . Under the old penal code the punishment would have been more se ^ e'e . Kruger was found guilty as an accessory , but the jury being divided , seven to five , on the question , the Court had to determine for a conviction oi acquittal , and considering the evidence imperfect , discharged him . A correspondent , writing from Vien : a , says : —
¦ Kossuth ' s reception in Eugland , the great meetings held in his honour , the load expression of auti-Austrian sentiments in the bold and simple language of our country is not without effect . The rage of the government and the court , and of a great part of the arnoy / is incredible , it grows and increases with every hour , notwithstanding the misrepresentations and calumnies which certain journals of the metropolis of Austria are forced to print . Kossuth is called all kinds of names . He is hated and despised by his countrymen , according to the same authority . The people of Hungary are represented deploring . the weakness which induced them to listen to the insiduous eloquence of a God-forgotten traitor and rebel . I will not take the trouble to quote
from any of the newspapers , but simply slate in contradiction of their assertions , that I have had frequent opportunities of conversing with Magyars and with disinterested impartial individuals not desirous of misstating anything . I learn that the mass of the people still adhere with obstinate 'firmness to the belief that Kossuth will one day or other return to re-raise the Hungarian national standard ; the impoverished by the war do not curse him ; the wounded do not blame him ; the exiled do not accuse him . Kossuth remains the idol of three-fourths of tbe people . His patriotism and energy , his simplicity in power , and dignity in misfortune , compel and faclnate tbe admiration and affection of all true Magyars . '
The Prussian parliament is , no doubt , if Prussia be at all to be considered , a constitutional country , the first authority in importance , and the second in rank , in the kingdom ; aud it will be recollected the very emphatic way in which , in the press . law offences against authority are pointed out to the most signal punishment . Not only numbers of jour , nals have been , seized on the pretext that by some equivocal expression the public authorities have b-= en affronted , but several papers have been suppressed- altogether on ihe same plea . Notwithstanding these numerous examples of the severity of the law , the ' Kreuz-Zeitung , ' in a recent number , has committed this offence in the most glaring manner it is possible to conceive , yet with perfect
impunity . In a leading article , it holds up the chambers to ridicule , with the declared object of bringing them into public contempt . Of all the comical things in this world , it says , that of-a debate in a representative chamber is about the most comical ; and the-comedy becomes downright farce wben such an assembly gets angry , and furnishes the aogust spectacle of a storm in a tea cup . ' All this is said with reference to the approaching opening of the parliament ; and when one contrasts this with the high terms in which the same ministerial print bas always spoken of tbe Provincial Diets , one cannot help seeing wbat is aimed at , The govern , ment are prepared , we 6 ee , to ' laugh at' the chambers .
ITALY . A letter from Turin of October 2 ht mentions a report current there in the ministerial circles that the British and French governments have instructed their representatives at the court of Tuscany to declare that England and France witness with dissatisfaction the establishment of relations between tbe Tuscan government and that of Austria , which , if continued , will be destructive of the independence of Tuscany .
ROYAL KEI . ENTINGS AT NAPLES . The following from the « Riaorgimenio / a Truro journal , shows not only that the Neapolitan government does not pause in its career of persecution against the political prisoners in its power , but wreaks a . continued vengeance ou men who voluntarily exile themselves . The ' Risorgimento' says : — 'The-Neapolitan government studies daily to confirm by its acts the assertions of Mr . Gladstone . The following are a faw new facts , which we particularly recommend to the attention of the pious and zealous defenders of this most magnanimous government .
' It bas been affirmed that there was an improvement in Poerio ' s lot , and that his treatment was now less severe ; the fact is that the reverse ia the case . Carlo Poerio is indeed in bed in the hospital of the prison of Ischia , but he still wears chains such as Mr . Gladstone has described so exactly . After the dissolution of the Chamber , the illustrious physician , Salvatore Tommasi , ex-deputy , was deprived of the professorship of Pathology , wi . ich he had obtained and held under the absolute regime . He was subsequently arrested and put into priBOn ; but as no pretext existed for accusing him , the police set him at liberty . He has just been again arrested and incarcerated , without a shadow
of a reason , the police , doubtless , hoping to he more fortunate this time . The crime of M . Ti mmasi is his love for enlightened liberty in Italy , he brillancy of his talent , the honesty and devotion v th which he filled the post of deputy , conferred < m him by his fellow-citizens in the province of Aqnila The property of the Advocate Pisanelli has been sequestrated , and that gentleman has avoided imprisonment by fli ght to Paris . The Neapolitan government does not pardon him for remaining whilst in exile what he waa when in parliament , when he vrasan honest Liberal , hostile to violence and proscription . Its revenge bas been sequestration and implication in the monstrous trial of Mav 15 th .
< M . Pisauelli is one of the most distinguished lawyers and professors of jurisprudence in the kingdom . He was sent to parliament by his native province Of Lecep , and he acted in bis capacity as member with courage and moderation . On the fatal night of the 15 th of May he did all in his power at the Hall of Mount Oliveto , where the deputies bad met in a preparatory assembly , to avoid t he collision which delivered up Naples to reaction The government knovrs this , and yet transforms Pisanelli into au erector of barricades . Latterly Pisanelli went to London to see the Great
Exhibition , and , under pretence that he was presant at a meeting in which he never set foot , the govern * ment sequestrated his properly . Not a single man in the province of Leece , has been found willing to adminieterthe property ; and , aflervain eudcavours , the government has been obliged to employ I'banelli ' s own steward , who is enjoined to pay the rents into the royal exchequer ' Tbe ' Croce di Savoia' of the 24 th ult . publishes the following letter from Naples : — ' I have b « en assured that lhe Duke of Leuchtenherg is charged with an important mission . According to information obtained from an excellent Bource , he has pro- * mised the King of Naples , that , in the event of fresh commotionB ia 1852 , Russia would occupy Turkey , station corps of observation in Hungary and on the frontiers of Italy , and that ,
independently of her own forces , she relied on the co-operation of the Sclavonian population of Hungary and of the Turkish Empire . Tbe Duke also communicated to tbe King a plan of tbe emperor , by which he was to be placed in possession of the Pontificial dominions , in case of new disturbances and new arrangements . Russia is very anxious to extend tbe territory of her all y . It is also said that most important and secret communications have been made to tbe King of Naples by M . Hubner , the Austrian Ambassador in Paris , who lately paid a visit to Corsica , which gave rise to many conjectures w t he diplomatic world . Nobod y could explain the object of M . Hubner ' s journey to a country that affords nothing to attract the attention of a foreign agent . It appears that the visit of m . Hubner was connected with that of the Duke of Leuchtenbere , who , beingaBeaubarnais , is on very geod ' tains

SPAIN . The Madrid Gazette * of the 22 t \ d wit . contains , in Latin and Spanish , an apostolic letter of tbe Popp , dated the 5 th of September , relative to the Concordat . It begins by stating that the COnven * tion undertaken by Pope Gregory XVI . , of happy memory , did not produce the desired result , but that the present Pope , on the prayer of his well-beloved daughter in Christ , Maria Isabella , Catholic Queen of Spain , bad sent to that kingdom , the venerable brother John , Archbishop of Thessalonica , to regulate the affairs of the church and of religion . In the negotiations for the Concordat , ' says his Holiness ' a great consolation was given to us by the
decided will of our well-beloved daughter in Christ , in favour of religion . We have decided that in this Concordat , it should be established Wore a !) , that the Catholic and Apostolic Roman church , with all the rights which it enjoys by divine institution , and by the sanction of the holy canons , shall entirely regulate and dominate , as in the past , all the kingdom of Spain—so that the calamities of past times cannot cause it any detriment ; that , to the exclusion of all other forms of worship , the Catholic doctrine shall be taught with purity in all universities , colleges , seminaries , and public and private schools ; that the inviolable rights of the church , principally in spiritual things , shall be strictly
preserved ; that the prelates and sacred ministers shall he free in the exercise of their episcopal functions , and in the holy ministry especially to guide the faith , and to . defend the doctrine , customs , and ecclesiastical discipline ; and that setting aside all difficulties and obstacles , all and each shall accord the consideration and authority due to ecclesiastical authority and dignity . ' The Apostolic letter con . eludes by stating that whoever shall have the audacity and temerity to attack that document ,-approved , ratified , and confirmed by bis Holiness , must know that in so doing he will incur the wrath of Almighty Godrand of his Apostles , St . Peter and St . Paul . The letter is sealed with the leaden seal . The ' Madrid Gazette of the 23 rd ult . contains
another ecclesiastical document , in Spanish and Latin . It consists of a motu proprio of the Pope , dated St . Peter ' s , at Rome ,, the 12 th April , and under the fisherman ' s seal , subjecting every house of religious congregation which may be established in Spain during the next ten years to the diocesan ordinaries , as de l egates of tbe apostolic see . This matu proprio is officially communicated by tbe Minister of Grace and Justice to all the bishops of the kingdom ; and the minister intimates that it has received the sanction of the royal council .
The Parliament ought to make the Government 1 laugh on the wrong Bide of its mouth ; ' and , if prosecutions for offences of tbe press did not belong exclusively to tbe police , who of course will not prosecute any ministerial paper , they could not begin their campaign better than by enforcing the law in this instance against the 'Kreuz-Zeitung , ' for endeavouring to bring the constitution , and the first constitutional authority in the realm , into contempt . Nay , more—to bring into contempt every honourable motive by which public men can be influenced ; for wbat absurdity it is / sa ^ s the paper alluded to , to talk of "breach of the constitution , " the " deep humiliation of Prussia , " the " disimst of the people , '' " moral impressions , " " old Prussian honour , " and such like phrases , for
all this is fudge . No one cares about such rubbisbly rhetoric , neither can it have the slightest effect . If the government cannot carry its measures , it will dismiss tbe chambers : that is allnothing is simpler . The ministry have the independent right to issue laws constitutionally without the chambers , and also to suspend bad laws passed by the chambers . ' This is indeed spurning all constitutional right , and setting up autocratic pretensions with a high hand . The government may make , on its own independent authority , what laws it likes , and suspend what laws it likes I It may also administer the laws as it likes ; for the law of the press , fairly applied to this aatiele of . the ' Krenz-Zeitung ' would , through tbe sentence of any judicial tribunal of Prussia , subject that paper , and justly , to total suppression .
HUNGARY . Advices from Vienna , dated tbe 23 rd ult ., state that Archduke Albrecht ' s arrival at Pesth was the occasion for a manifestation of national feeling on the part of the people , most significant to tbe new alter ego of the Emperor in Hungary . Whether from accident or design is not known—it is to be hoped from the former—the Hungarian colours were not among the numerous flags decorating the steamboat on board of which his imperial highness was . Every other province of the empire was represented in the rigging and on the masts of the vessel , but the white and red colours of Hungary were sought for in vaini Their absence became
generally known at the very moment that the Governor-General was about to land ; on tbe instant the assembled people , who might otherwise have raised their voices in loyal acclamation , quitted the quay , leaving to the government officials , tbe military and few servile Austrians , the reception of the Archduke . Naturally enough Archduke Albrecht was deeply enraged at what be considered an intentional insult . Explanations appear , however , ( o have been subsequently made , since the new Governor-General on the same day proceeded to shower marks of his favour and good will towards the national wishes of the people . At his first reception , he intimated to ' every one of the bureaucracv of the
kingdom who came to pay bis respects to the new ruler , that in future they must appear in the Hungarian national costume or in n black coat and white neckWoth . The new uniform invented by Dr . Bach ( Minister of the Interior ) is condemned , to the great loss of many poor devils who had it made especially for the occasion , and then wore it for the first time . Whenever his highness appeared in the streets he was loudly greeted , ft must not be supposed that the people of Pesth were thus loyal because of the new change of the costume .
They merely regard it as the forerunner of other and still greater changes in the hated system of centralisation , and with the enthusiastic , sanguine character peculiar to the Hungarian nation , give themselves up to the most extravagant hopes . Too likely are they to be deceived . The ' Lloyd' told us some weeks ago , that tha form of centralisation was to be abandoued , but the spirit retained . Since then the advocates of centralisation have out-intrigued their opponents , and there is but too great probability of the only change that will be mada being confined to the uuKovm .
A letter from Semlin , dated the 15 th ult ., states that for some months pastthe Servians have allowed themselves to be dictated to by the Austrian consul and some Aunrians who are in the chancery of the prince . Accordingly , a number of Poles who were making a decent livelihood , in the most harmless ways , were ruthlessly expelled the principality . The Russiani reserve their power , and have reasons for letting the boastful and cowardly Au&trians make themselves odious , and drag the Servians through the mud , which the porcine nature of the latter makes them delight to wallow in . The present Prince of Sevsia ( a vassal of the Porte ) is a weak animal / generally under the influence of ihe
Austrian consul ( a peasant of the military frontier , ) and always under the influence of ardent spirits . Incapable of any sober thought , he fancies himself a great Slavonic Emperor . Under such a system it mny well he supposed that the representatives of Kiiglfliirl and France are viewed with jealousy and dread . A demonstration has consequently " been mode ( which the Prince and government of Servia consider to have been only a gentle hint , though Lord Pttlmerston ia very likely to make , them feel i \ as a mighty considerable affair . ) The 11 th was the IVince ot Servia ' s august biitLday , on the nialu of which the Servian inhabitants are compelled to show their attachment by illuminating their dwellings , while the four foreign representatives of the great
powers never burn an additional' candle more for the Prince than they would do for the Pasha who commands the citadel , and is a far worthier person . The military band paraded through the town at eight p . m ., and passed the Russian and Austrian consulates , accompanied by a crowd of police agents and Servians of every degree . On reading the street in which thft British consul-general lives , they halted within a few yards of the house ; some cries of ' Kossuth ' s consul ! ' were heard from the Austrian part of the mob , lhe drums beat an encouraging roll , and the work of detuolibhing the windows commenced and lasted the better part of a quarter of an hour without the sli g htest attempt at repression . It was too well known that the
execution was ordered by superior authority . Tbe consul-general ( M . de Fonblanque ) hurried to his residence and bad his shoulder wounded b y a heavy stone burled at him by a Servian officer , who ran away , but is certainly well known to persons higb in place . Next morning the British flag was Struck

The government journals Tomic fire and fury on tbe population of Lucerne . It appears that the peop le attacked a former judge , named Amman , whose very name ia universally execrated , and who waa so incautious as to leave his safe quarters in Innsbrack , in order to visit his brother-in-law in Switzerland . The mattiattatea of Lucerne were
compelled to arrest him and confine him in gaol to protect him from tbe people , who , hearing of bis arrival , assembled in large numbers round the house in . which he was , treated him first to a charivari , and were proceeding to more serious demonstrations of hatred when the authorities interf ered . He was got across the frontiers safe and sound on the following morning . Such an event is naturally a God send for the absolute press , and they certainly make Ihe . mosl ot It .
RUSSIA . There is a report of a conspiracy against tbe imperial government at St . Petersburg , mentioned in the second edition of ( he 'Cologne Gazette , ' which , if true , is very important . It is as follows : — ' Rumours are in circulation of a newly discovered consp iracy among the nobility of St . Petersburg and of tbe arrest of several considerable persons standing very near the throne . The discovery , it ib said was made by officers of the body guard of tbe Emperor , whom the consp irators endeavoured to brine over to their party , but wbo revealed the whole matter to the Emperor . Further details are not known . The St . Petersburg journals make no allusion whatever to the affair . But it is not to be expected tha t in Russia such events should be publicly announced till three or four months after their occurrence . '

The construction of five new vessels of war has been commenced in different parts of France , viz ., a frigate of the Srd class , a corvette of the 1 st class , a steam-corvette of the ' 1 st class of 400 horse-power , and two-advice boats of the 1 st class of 200 horse-power . The number of vessels at present on the stocks is forty-eight , viz ., twenty men-of-war , nineteen frigates , . five corvettes , and four 1 st class . brigs . The oldest man-of-war on tbe effective list of the French navy is the Ocean , of 120 gun ? , which was launched in 1790 ; the next is the Marengp , eighty-two guns , launched on the 12 ih Oct ., 1810 , in presence of the Emperor . Six other men-of-war were built in the time of the empire , and all the others are of a more recent date . The marine department has just struck out
of the lists , as . unfit for service , two men-of-war , three corvettes , two brigs , three-advice-boats , one schooner , one chebec , one transport , and two steamers . Marie Therese , the daughter of Louis XVI . and Duchess of Augouleme , expired at Frohsdorf on the morning of the 19 th ult ., ( the annivesary of the execution of her mother , Marie Antoinette , ) after a few days' illness , said to have orig inated in an attack of cold . A few lines , not nnpathetic , from an old servant of the elder branch of the Bourbons , Count de Pastoret , lamenting th , e decease of this princess , insued from her earliest years to the most awful trials of adversity , are inserted in tbe 'Assemble . Nationale / The princess died in her seventy-third vear .
In the seventh sitting of tee Diet of the Rhine provinces one of the Deputies moved that the Assembly should petition for a law prohibiting the payment of wages to all persons under seventeen years of age . The motive of the law was described to he a wish to improve the morality of the working classes , as well as their material interest . The payment of any wages to . ' young persons' was to be fobidden , and if , notwithstanding the law
such payments were made , they should be considered null and void .
