One class, and that the most original class in the island, has no figure assigned to it in the above list--I mean the herdsmen. The number of bandits is stated to be 200; and there may be as many Corsican bandits in Sardinia. That the reader may be able to form a clear idea of the general administration of Corsica, I shall here furnish briefly its more important details. Corsica has been a department since the year 1811. It is governed by a prefect, who resides in Ajaccio. He also discharges the functions of sub-prefect for the arrondissement of Ajaccio. He has four sub-prefects under him in the other four arrondissements. The prefect is assisted by the Council of the prefecture, consisting of three members, besides the prefect as president, and deciding on claims of exemption, &c., in connexion with taxes, the public works, the communal and national estates. There is an appeal to the Council of State. The General Council, the members of which are elected by the voters of each canton, assembles yearly in Ajaccio to deliberate on the public affairs of the nation. It is competent to regulate the distribution of the direct taxes over the arrondissements. The General Council can only meet by a decree of the supreme head of the state, who determines the length of the sitting. There is a representative for each canton, in all, therefore, there are sixty-one. In the chief town of each arrondissement meets a provincial council of as many members as there are cantons in the arrondissement. The citizens who, according to French law, are entitled to vote, are also voters for the Legislative Assembly. There are about 50,000 voters in Corsica. Mayors, with adjuncts named by the prefect, conduct the affairs of the communes; the people have retained so much of their democratic rights, that they are allowed to elect the municipal council over which the mayor presides. As regards the administration of justice, the high court of the department is the Appeal Court of Bastia, which consists of one chief president, two _présidents de chambre_, seventeen councillors, one auditor, one procurator-general, two advocates-general, one substitute, five clerks of court.
