If was not to be expected that the free discussion to which the temporal sovereignty of the Pope is now subjected in l'aris would be borne with serene equanimity either at Hams or by the Ultramontane party is France. Our Paris Correspondent bas shows or the kind of warfare which that master of vituperation, NI. Lotto VISUILLOT, Li prepared to wage on behalf of the territorial rule of the Pose. The EN PIRO' is on one day apostrophised in the words of the awtul reproof winch confounded the traitor Juitvs in the crisis of his guilt, and on the next devoted to perdition is a partaker of the crime of Botox MAGUS. The writers of the Univers are well able to furnish an anathema for every day in the calendar, and still have • wealth of curses in reserve at the year'a end, and it M in their power, if left uncontrolled by autho rity, to cause great embarrassment to the Govern ment, by arousing religious fanaticism in opposition to its policy. The EmPtaall has however dealt with the Papal newspaper as he has often dealt *Mother journals. TO, second warning which the llosivers bas just received places its existence completely at the mercy of the Mirineria of the 11.71.110 R This is not maths* nt to which we should like toms eves Use Ratios subjected ; bat it is that which M. VrottUrrr has before sow called down on his cootemporariss, and, as far as it foss, it shows that the Eul'llol le determined not to be forced from his path by the opposition of the Priests. To grasp the nettle is to render it harmless. At the lame time we are told that the Papal Nuncio at Par.& has intimated to the French Govern ment that his master will not tend a Plenipotentiary to the Congress, tf that Government will rot officially discredit the rumour which attributes to the Eli PCZOII tbeanthientap of the temble new pamphlet. The Port may, porhap•, think that if he holds aloof from the Coogan", the most which that body will venture to do is to recognise and confitrn the separation of the Romagna from his Government. Bat, on the other land, It is to he considered that whereas in the Contuse the question of his temporal sovereignty would he dealt with under the guarantee of the justice and moderation of all Europe, a policy of ab stention would leave him fae-a-ti 7 te with the one power of which tut now lte most complains. Austria cannot aid him ; he is entirely in the hands of France. The withdrawal of the French army from his dominions would be the signal for the overthrow of his govern ment; for France could not permit the intervention of petty States to uphold that which she has con demned. This demonstration of Cardinal Mero- S sullenness has not, therefore, the practical importance which he would like to see attached to it. Ws are witnesses of a struggle which will probably be swore and protracted, but the end of stake as hardly be doubtful if the Emperor of the FRENCH only perseveres with thnisses in the COoree be has begun. Enlightened Catholics in all ages have learned to distinguish between the interests of the Church and those of the Court of Rum', and their influence, it may be fairly expected, will be exerted to separate the former from the cause of • government which has always been conspicuous for imbecility, arbitrariness, aed vengeance. As to the pamphlet, we take for granted that it was published anonymously in order that the French Government might be left et full liberty to disavow it u often ea say he required. THE four clergymen wbo ars exerting themselves to obtain the signatures of their brethren to a mani festo against any attempt to alter the Book of Com mnn Prayer may be fairly asked how they propose :41!!!= THE itimss, 'WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBEZ 28. 1859. to dui with the difficalties which have - I'd t• the demand fora revision of the liturgy, and what they @appose would be pined if they stioneded in obtain ing as many names u they expect to their dsclara tios. That with a moderate amount of exertion they may get an imposing number of signature' we have not the least doubt. It is so easy to sign year name in good company to a paper which •et only aommits you to no action, bat which makes you vsey inaction meritorious. If Dean TRENCH, Dr. Juts, and their associates can only get half the indolent and insouciant among their clerical brethren to take the trouble to set their names to this decla ration, the array will be so imposing as to astonish Parliament. What we should like to have more 'dearly explained is the advantage to be looked for from such a demonstration of languor. The demand toe liturgical revisioo, which is - every day making itself heard in one or another form, is oar whisk could not have been preferred in thine days of dark nor and death from which the Church was aroused in the time of WiSLIT and IVuivrtnri. It is a sign of life, end therefore ought to be favourably re seeded by good Churchmen, instead of being frowned down. It cones of the increased sincerity and more iatelligent interest with which members of t►e Charek L I now regard the ordinances of public wonhip. We lan swan that many of the clergy whose thoughts look backward to the days when our present services were is their Popish rudiments, would rather have the Prayer Book regarded with an ignorant and traditional reverence, than see its pages examined with reference to the wants and habits of the present generation ; but we shall not do the authors of the new declaration the injustice to impute any such desire to them. They base their opposition to the demand for revision on the statement that any attempt in that direction would endanger the pent* and unity of the Church. One would think from this language that the Church of England was at present a pattern of peace and unity, mod that this happy state had been in a great measure brought about by its formularies. The fact is that it is the most distracted Church in Christendom, and that it is in these very formula ries that the causes of disunion and strife are to be found. Credit is sometimes claimed for the Prayer Bock as offering in its present form a common standing ground for men of all patties and opinions in the Church. It does sojtiat as the plain of Waterloo afforded a common standing ground for the French and English armies on the memorable 18th of Jane. Each side finds there positions which favour its attacks on its adversary. True, comprehensiveness is a blessed thing to be striven for, and if possible attained, but the comprehensiveness which arbi trarily fixes irreconcilable propositions in one set of standards and requires unfeigned assent and consent to them all, is spurious, and in its tendencies is im moral. For bind, both parties of necessity find in the Articles or the Prayer Book something which they cannot aooept in its natural and apparent sense, their members respectively east about for convenient ways of evading that sense altogether. Thus the Tractarian bids us take note that if the tenor of his explanations is anti-Protestant, whereas it is notorious that the Articles were intended for the establishment of Protestantism, it is nevertheless • duty to the Catholic Church and our own to take them in the most Catholic sense they will admit, and that, since the Articles and Homilies appeal to the Fathers and Councils, in interpreting them by these we go to the same authority to which they profess to submit themselves. On the other hand, we often find members of the Evangelical party setting aside the plain messing of the language of the formularies for one of their own on the principle of putting such • construction upon the words of the Church Services as shall be in agreement with what in their opinion agrees with its rule of faith. In thin way the object of the Church in imposing the formularies is evaded altogether, the animus impowntis not being even inquired for. Each party finds or invents some way of getting rid of that which he has " willingly ►nd front the heart" sub scribed. Clergyman after clergyman has come for ward, like the Rector of Fitz, to declare honour ably that " their consciences groan under this state "of things. They love the Church of England, but not her deformities. Like the rest of the hierarchy, they give a plenary IL6I/11:, which could not be " otherwise than non-natural, and they feel deeply " pained by the false position in which you and " they, and all of us, ate involved." With the opponents of revision the favourite mode of meeting arguments of this kind Mt* turn round upon the complainant, and ask him why be does not leave a ministry which he entered on condition of heartily aoosptiogevery thing that he now desires tome removed as faulty and 4mi:curate. The generosity and candour of this proceeding it is easy to appreciate. Whether those who notoriously fix upon the formularies a meaning not contemplated by the authorities which enjoined them am entitled to use this reproach and stand upon their superior conscientiounees, we need not further inquire. But certainly the laity have an interest in supporting those of the clergy who have the courage and honesty to look the facts in the face and speak oat. Peace and unity are blessings not to be attained by resolutely shutting the eyes to grave facts and firmly refusing to take practical difficulties in hand. The wishes of those who would modify the Prayer Book in a spirit of charity, so as to make it truly that bond which it is at present but in name, may ►e successfully resisted for a time, but they will not be silenced ; and if ever real pesos and unity are to be won and secured, they will have to be satisfied.

VIENNA, WZDNIIIDAT._ According to a telegram received by Count Rech berg from Prince Metternioh, Count Walewski has declared to the Diplomatic Corps in Paris that as long as he remains at the head of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs the pamphlet, "Le Pape et le Congris," should not be considered as the pro , gramme of the French ministry. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (TROY o owx PARIS, I'IrMIDAT The Univers has received a warning (the mooed) for its article on Christmas-day, containing M. Louis Vealllors model address of condolence to the Pope. M. Billault tells him officially in the warning that although the question treated of by the Univers (meaning, I suppose, the question of the pamphlet) may be discussed with the most entire freedom, it is not permissible to organise in France a political agitation on a religious pretext. M. Vealllot must, . . frather think, hive made up hie mind to provoke the suppression of his journal ; for, nothing daunted by the warning, he continue to deal the most violent blows to the pamphlet, its author, and its supporters. M. Grandguillot and M. Bonita°e of the Cousseifiaskomsel, come in for a large share of his irony, for which they are very fair game. But in a separate paragraph, apropos of the production at the Porte Bt. Martin of the Vireos* der Caress, he permits himself to speak evil of dignities after the following extraordinary fashion : Many people will be hodleed to ase a little platitude to the fromint admiration with which the thmtrioal hullistans prostrate themselves Won the araineut datal-author at the meld-drama played et the Porte St. Martin in favour of the Madera featly. It la of the muses of oritiolain that It may be sapeelany hotels sorintendant (en enrolee) Iteave-t•il de croallas"? We do deny that; and yet we doubt not that the hallletons in question 'path in the "plenitude of their indepettdenoe." Let us redeot for a moment. If a simple valet de ohambre of Louis XIV., named Moller*, wrote such Agfa d'rettore as Tarnift and the Ifnentirope, It is bat natural in this age of puopreia that • west of a panumege much more advantageously shaded should &Ueda the utmost heights of the sublime, even although the pereousge in question may have only writtaa half of it. In order that no point of his sarcasm may be lost to his readers, and to put, as the French say, the dote upon his i's, he takes care to print in another page that M. Mocquard, the Emperor's private secretary, is the joint author with M. Victor Sejour of the successful play at the Porte St. Martin, and that the Emperor loudly applauded the first representation—of all which facts you were informed oa Saturday last. The Debate, referring pleasantly to it. proverbial . char►cter for caution, says a handsome reward has been offered to anyone who will proclaim its opinion upon the pamphlet. It proceeds to make a clean breast by declaring that its opinion is now as it was in 1848 e:direly in favour of Italian independence and against the temporal government of the Pope. It does not, however, agree with the pamphlet, either in the exceptional - position which it would create for the citizens of Rome, or in the extent of authority which it attributes to the congress. In the opinion of the Dikes, the congress of 1880 has a very limited mission : it has no initiative to take, and can do nothing better than ratify what the Italians have already done, leaving them to manage their affairs for themselves. There has been again a very bad Bonne. The only cause alleged is the "state of the amount," but people cannot help suspecting th►t some un known political cause mast be at the bottom of the very great depression which has now prevailed for two days enocersively. The Rente fell 20c. both for cash and account, closing at 69fr. 76c. and 69fr. 900. Mobilise, after having dropped to 820 ff., recovered to 826 fr. 26c., closing with a fall of but Mr. 76c. The Orleans railway fell 6fr. ; Southern, 7fr. 60c.; and Northern, Ur. 60c.; in the other lines there was very little change. . . . A political speech from the Emperor is looked for on New Year's Day. At the Assize Court of the Seine M. Giblain, the stockbroker, was placed at the bar to take his trial on • variety of charges of embezzlement and forgery. The cane naturally excites great interest on 'Change, this being, I believe, the first instance of any criminal prosecution against a member of the house. The Procnrear•General (M. Chain d'Est Mtge) appeared in person to au u public minister. M. Mathieu and M. Laohlud are counsel for M. Diblain. M. Jules Fevre, who is suffering front avers illness, is retained for the parties civilly injured by the frauds imputed to the prisoner, bat he was not able to attend court this morning. The trial is expected to last several days. CENTRAL ITALY. (FMK OUR SPICIAL CORRROPORDINT.) FLORENCE, Dzc. 22. emonstration which accor ding to wow news- - mongers was organised at Leghorn by the opposition party has completely . failed. As soon as Common datore Boocompagn i landed, he was accosted by Signor Malenchini, the leader of the small opposition in the Tuscan Assembly, who told him that he and his political friends had something to communicate to his Excellency. The political adversaries of Baron Ricsaoli having then followed the Governor- General, expressed their warm sympathy both for him personally and for the principle of the union to Piedmont which he represent.. Having done this, they gave him to understand that they could not approve the policy which the present government of Tuscany had pursued on the question of the Regency. Commendatore Boacompagni ' who was of oouree taken aback, adjured them to lay aside all political differences, and work with him to secure the triumph of the cause they had so much at heart. This wise suggestion was a polite manner of putting a stop to a demonstration which would have given great offence to the local government of Tuscany, and rendered still more difficult the abnor mal and delicate mission his Excellency is come to fulfil in the duchy. This was all that was done and said at Leghorn, and you will agree with me that oppositions are more manageable in this part of the world than they generally are in our palace at Westminster. It was 3 o'clock when the state carriages—very poor and humble carriages they are too—moved from the Porta di Prato station towards the Palazzo dello Crociete, one of the ducal dwell ings, which is now become the official residence of the Governor-General. For this occasion Florence had been elegantly decorated with festoons of green leaves, Venetian mute, and pennons of every kind. Numbers of Italian ags were hoisted at the top of every spire, under the archway of every , and at the window of every holm. The streets, the Piazza dell' Annunciate, and all the sdrucioli leading to it, were thronged by an immense crowd of people; for the good citizens of Florence never miss an occasion of attending public displays, whether religious, military, or civic. The new I Governor-General of the League of Central Italy— for, as I have often told you in my letters, the go vernment of this country made the most deter mined opposition to the title of Governor of the United States of Central Italy, which Bonoompagni ought to have aunmed—was, of course, loudly cheered, both by the citizens of Florence and by the admirable and numerous National Guard which paraded before him after he had reached the palace. In spite, however, of this general and, I believe, sincere manifestation of approval, the enthusiasm which seldom fails tocharactertse popular festivities in Italy was greatly wanting on this occasion. I think that there were two reasons which combined to divest this national solemnity of •Il that Italian ardour which I noticed at Milan, at Genoa, and at Bologna. The endless negotiations, the numberless difficulties which have delayed the conclusion of this vexed question, bad almost quenched the enthusiasm of the Florentines, and brought them to look upon the arrival of the Commendatore as a matter of little iuportance. and mme powerful cause of this, I should say, app►rent apathy, is to be found in the nature of the Tusc►n people itself. It is not here that you would look for those ardent and almost uncontrollable manifestations of enthusiasm which are so frequently exhibited by the tempera ment of Southern Italy. The Florentines talk great deal, u the Italians generally do, but they are an easy-going and dilatory people, and do not pos es. a great amount of energy. They are fond of amusements, and naturally curious; but to put them.elves out of their way to cheer anybody--no matter who—is repugnant to the habits of their daily life. It would take them too much trouble to do it, and there are but few occasions in which the principle of the dole* jar sients is aban doned by them. The arrival of Commendatore Boscompagni was not app a rently o : one of those. In fact, the new Governor- wee received by the Florentines very much in the same manner as a newly-elected Lord Mayor is in poring through Chespeide or along the Strand. To-day we are awaiting Boncompagni's first proclamation, which will of course be one of those ordinary official documents addressed by a new governor on such occasions. Nor is this the only publication we are expecting from the pen of this clever Piedmontese statesman, for I hear that he is on the eve of publishing a pamphlet, which, under the modest title of Some Considerations upon the Question of Central Italy," will undoubtedly exercise a great influence over the diplomatic world of Europe. Boncompagni is at the same time a statesman of the first order and a thoroughly practical administra tor. He is moreover one of the most amiable and honest public men of Italy, so that the action he will exercise over the future destinies of this country cannot well be otherwise than beneficial. Through the mildness of his character he will succeed in smoothing the somewhat ragged disposition of the Tuscan Premier, composing the little quarrels of parties. and &mitring the happiness of the country he I has been called to rule.

The telegraph has brought us the news of the submission of a numerous tribe inhabiting the right flank of the Caucasus. The Ragan journals publish the text of Prince Bariatinsky's despatch to the minister of war on this subject : I have again the particular satisfaction of seeing myself enabled to invite your excellenoy to lay at the fest 01 kis majesty the Emperor my most tespectful congratulations on account of the important event jut accoraphabed in the western pert of the Caucasus: the Abstisekhe nation, the most powerful and warlike of the whole country, has spoil teneotuily made its submission and solemnly taken the oath of fidality' s to his imperial majesty. The Abe zekhes had oommeaoed negotiating their sub miritien from the moment that a detachment had easembied, to the cause of title autumn, at the spot called aa for winter operatione, under the personal oentmend l oMi general charged with the ommind of the troops of the right wing. The moderate conditiou aired us this numarous nation, which had not yet felt the faros of our arm, which was accustomed to unrestricted liberty, and iehabited a country snoustainous end of difficult semis, did not fail soca to bring them negotiations to the desired result. The oath was taken at the care , on the 20th of November, by the chief elder, and by the dalegatr of every rank, to the number of 1,500 or 2,000. The first manic swear allegiance was Mehemet Amine, who, as the principal religious paean age of the nation, has powerfully contributed to remove the difficulties relative to the profession of faith, and who has male the nation understand that the law of Mahouset did not prohibit Massie:tans from being the subjects of a Christian sovereign.: Al the request of the elders of the Abedzekhes, General Philipsolin permitted klahomet Amine to remain among them, bat without any power, and only with the same rights as awe of the elders. am expe:cting . at Tiflis Mehemet Amine, with his younger brother and a deputation of eight Abedzekhes, wields eider., one for each bibs. On the 41st of November the Abedukhas inhabiting the mountsinoma mangy at the source of the rivers delivered seven hostages selected by themselves. An equal number of homages will to sent in by the inferior Abedzekbes and the tribe of Taupe, who dwell on the southern slope of the Cuomo, at the sources of the river of the same name, near the mouth of which, on the east oust of the Black Bea, are the ruins of Fort Vallasainov. The tribe of Toupee coosiders itself • pert of the Abedzekhe nation. Simultansouly with the anteniseion of the Abedsekhen we have received that of the Busker tribe, belonging to the Alms family. It dwells near the sources of the river Oaths, sad lois delivered one hostage. Thee, from the mums of the Reuben to the autos limit of the territory of the Bohapsouge, only one tribe remains that has not submitted. Aecording to intelligence reoeived from other parts of the Western Caucasus, there are being held at this moment among the Natoukbaiacd the Schapeouge some great popular councils, which, judging by the general tendency of men's minds among the hitherto unsubmitted tribes, may perhaps similarly end in their submissioa to the ireperiel government. Wishing now at once to take a mobil advantage of the pacification of the Abadzekhes, I propose to myself to secure our position in their territory by causing to be executed those troika which it was Intended to construct by force of arms. Owing to the pre ant submission of this nation, the works In question can be promptly executed, and with leas means ; nevertheless , I sea eedeavourtag to increase also the number of labourers fa this right flank of the Cancans, in order to hasten on these work. as much ea possible. The following is Prince Bariatinsky's order of the day to the troops of the line of the army of the Caucesue : Tiflis, Nov. 27. Your triumph was awaiting its turn, but your glory is now great. You hove reduced the chief and most formid able nation of the Western Cueseus. One hundred thousaod Abotzekhas and Mehemet Amine himself have been induced by you to become subjects of the Emperor. May God assist you In promptly °migmatite the net of the uneubdued troops, end may the gratitude of the entire Caucasus to Lieutenant- Ganral Philipsoho, and to the valiant troupe which have seconded him, pees down to posterity.
