IL Tuts is Hut sown of Pantomime, and Pantomime, we all know, comes to us from Italy. Perhaps it is I almost forgotten by the pit and gallery of 1860 that Clown, Hariequin,and Pantaloon were in the original conception highly representative personages. The gro tesque figures at whose conventional (upend mischief a modern public conventionally laughs for six weeks every winter, were once, in the old conanialia dlr art*, typical and even serious creations, instinct with a deep satirical humour and a poignant dramatic purpoer. All this is very pleasantly recounted and explaiord by the pen and pencil of H. Manama EANI , , the eon of one of the moot illustrious writers of our time, ins volume entitled " Masques et Bouffons,* in which the family history of Pantomime is traced to its early popular source. Harlequin, for instance, we find to be the parent type of the rascally intriguing valet, father of &via, Mae eardle, and Figaro. Pantaloon, the credulous and debauched old sinner, is the eternal dupe of ►ie own rice*. Clown, WI we see him on our stage, is • good-humoured Cockney version of Poking:lo, with all the frolic and mischief, bet without the selfish and cynical ferocity of his immortal prototype. He cuffs and kicks the agents of the law, insults sober and quiet citizens, and laughs respectability to worn ; but his inveterate practical joking . proceed* from a riotous sympatny, rather than • profound con tempt for his fellow-creatures. • Well, and what on earth has Pantomime to do with politics? we hear the indignant reader ask. A day or two ago we should hare been puzzled to reply. Bet a costresporary kaa set the example et briagiag this popular form of entertainment on to the political stags in January, and in compliant to ►is playbill we have looked up the pedigree of Pantomime. We now know the inner meaning l i of those grimaces and contortions at which the injediesows only laugh. It sometimes happens, se the nightly experieece of the public bears witness, that the introductory scenes " attract and bottle the " cariosity "of many amoog the audience. The " key is supplied at the right amest, and often pate sisietected. But the treasformationeceee poems and m•kea all clear, or at any rate bright enough. and then, at a word from the Fairy, all the gaoA- and the glory vanishes away, C own sad Pantaloon are knocking each other •boat in • cots mon street, and Harlequin, • dapper gentleman, very ilk' a lir ird in shape and colour, is palling oar everyday weed lo pieces, and starting traps in all directions with • flap of his wand. This isthesort rd rEgiose• erratemporary would fain adapt to the theatre of European polity. The intro ducory scones of the Christmas piece which we owe to the same prolific invention that terrified us so agreeably !sat Easter are descriptive of ea "offensive " alliance between England and France, directed " against the other great Powers of Europe." Two scenes—we mean two articles—developed this saes- tog story, and u the authors confess, they succeeded in "attracting and baffling the public curiosity." No doub•, the grand offensive alliance between Frau= and Russia which we heard of last Easter wee set quite stale enough to bear repetition with so slight • change as the name of England substituted fat Russia. The "key" was wanting to the new 'mystification. Who shall supply it ? The ingenious at d enterprising Mr. REcTt&. The transformation- scene represents the apotheosis of the Anglo-French offensive sl lust. ; sod presently exit Wstawsitt, and enter Tuorvrezi.; ezit SIETTULNICH, .red enter COWLIT; ezd Congress, and enter Mr. Minix* with a telegram, " which is not our telegram," ant, we nay add, which is not a telegram at all, but "letter," in his hand, knocking down with eery briskness and agility all this imposing fabric of treaties and guarantee., and all this magnifoent perspective of Anglo-French wars of Italian indepea_ dente, and bringing us down to the terra si teens re* ity of a plain and friendly negotiation between two reighbogring aliies, with a •iew to a comma understanding on the question of the day. We mean no disrespect to Mr. REVTaIt if for $ air meat we have taken the liberty to egimpore this last perimmemes of his with the hats aiscomplished every evening es the bonds et this metropolis. Mr. RitlTlll deserves oredit for having at a coasiderable oast, by Weil eembi. nations, and with infinite and lambent labour, activity, and attention, app', efi a gnat die aovery of science to the satisfaction of that eel. venal and insatiable deenan.d for "the latest news" which is ens of the characteristics of the century. Every 'steepens has its peculiar difficulti e s, and, perhaps, its special to asptations. It may be that the peculiar difficulty of a telegraphic enterprise is to supply fresh news for breakfast, dinner, and supper, when there is literally no news in the market It may be that the special temptation inci dent to this novel and striking form of indestey is the temptation to find news, when news there is none. Mr. REUTER exercises of course only a vicarious and Wired re sponsibility for the telegrams which mask him from all points of thelcompass in quick sosesesion. They are sent by agencies. Are these agencies ever a little hasty or mistaken P Is there such a thing as a mare's-nest in the telegraphic world P Was a telegraphic agent ever known to draw his informa tion from a gobernotsch• t We hint these doubts most deferentially, and with every dis position to do justice to the surprising careful ness and °orientates which, with very few gu mption', have distinguished Mr. REUTER'S telegrams. let it is only fair to an enterprise good in itself to caution it against permitting agents to supply rumours in the place of news. This is a dangerous habit to indulge, and involves a radical error in the conduct of a most useful undertaking. The public who con sult Mr. Renee's column are not a public of backnute, nor a public of " balls " and " bears ;" they are a public who desire to know what is going on, not what is rumoured, or supposed, or pretended to be going on, in the world. Mr. RIOT= usurps quite other functions than those of a telegraphic agency when he communicates to us " extracts of a " letter " received at his office. A second glance at such a letter enables any practised e3e to detect its origin. Takes pinch of the Paris oarrespondeecie of the lark , pendente Belga and the Nerd, and stir it up with a soupcon of official slang, and your broth is ready. The Timm, with the confidential solemnity of a family doctor, dispenses this vale tudinarian " slop" to its readers, but declines to swallow it on its own account. For our own part we don't se much as throw it oat of window. We have never considered it our duty to treat the public to " fiction founded upon fact," nor have we ever professed to be " inspired with mach anxiety" by reports of transactions which we believed "to be "my far from telling the whole truth, and by no " means exact in telling nothing but the truth." Non Satter I n cl fermi. Then is less excuse than ever for these harlequin adee at the present moment, when the Meniteur brings is a genuine and authentic letter from the Emperor of the FRENCH to the Pops, and the speech of hie HOLINESS to the French Commander-in• Chief at Rome. Surely these undeniable documents an worth a bushel of " fictions founded upon fact." They describe in err many words the latest phase of the eternal Roman question. On New Year's Ere the EMPEROR wrote to Pins IX. a letter expressing all his devotedness to the Catholic religion and to the POPE. We cannot but regret that the Imperial epistle war not sent to the HOLT FATRER through a telegraphic agency, for in that cue it would either have reached the Vatican before it was written, or at any rats immediately after, and, as the Monsieur touchingly insinuates, "We believe that this allocution would not "have been pronounced bad the POPE received the letter sent by the Rues:ion on the 31st of Duna. " her." The letter of the EMPEROR contains twoor this, most important revelations pour weir. In the first place, it gives an entirely new, and on the taco of it, probably the most true version of the sudden pease of Villafrancs.. It WWI " the fear that the " revolution would assume larger proportions." Secondly, it informs us that the EMPEROR some time since demanded of the POPE " an administrative "separation of the Romagna," and that the demand was refused. Thirdly, it expresses the Excision's belief "that the solution most suited to the interests " of the Holy See would be to make a sacrifice of the " revolted provinces," seeing that the Congress would admit the Pore's right., and "think it better" to leave them to take care of themselves. The EMPEROR suggests that if the POPE would consent to give up the Romagna, " the Powers might guarantee the pm " session of the remainder of the States of the Church.' We know not what powers are here implied; such a " guarantee" could only operate an against foreign occupation, not as against the rights of the governed, since it would be the pre cise aad only duty and object of a Congress of all the Power* to put an end for ever to foreign esenpation in the States of the Church, and to libe- rate the spiritual power of the HOLY FATTIER from any foreign pressure. On New Year's Eve it appears that the EMPEROR still looked forward to the meeting of a Congress; yet he assured the POPE that its decision would in no wise alter the line of eondact he had always observed towards his Hott sus. Whether this assurance would have tran quillised his HOLINESS had it reached him on New Year'. morning, we are enable to pronounce; the latest news from Rome is hardly favourable to that su ppcoi t ion, and the Poet's improvised French speech to General DI 0010 N forbids it altogether. That devout and brilliant cavalry officer, speaking in the name of his diviaiou of the French army, esentred the HOLY FATHER that his brave ( soldier* had consoled themselves for their abuses from the field of battle " with the •' thought that they were on the field of honour of • Catholicism? To this eery pretty compliment we are sorry to say that his Rousts. returned an ex tremely militant answer. Nay, we are even more sorry to say that the voice of his HOLINESS trembled with anger, and that the strength of hie feelings almost got the better of the fluency of his French. He told the General that be war doubly happy to "rewire the respects of his brave troops at such a " moment ; is the exceptional position of the States " of the Church ;" he invoked • blessing on the division of the French army guttered at Rome, and on the whole Fru& army and nation. He prostrated himself before his HAILER, and prayed twice for the Erreion ; first, that he might be endued with grace and knowledge ; and secondly, that he might have " courage to condemn those per verse principles contained in a certain Oracle, which are a monument of hypocrisy and an ignoble " dune of contradictions." And by way of aid ing the EMPEROR to disavow the " Optuacie," hie HOLUM hinted that he had some former documents in his hand which were sent him by the EmPEILOIt, "and which axe "ace absolute condemnation of those principles." Oh ! that mine enemy would writs a book ! Th. EN Ft Ito was a pilgrim once in Brittany, and his ROLLS ItSB was once invited to Paris to assist at a o , roha ri o u. If the prayers of the POPE are not answered, he holds acceptances and notes of hand which—but meantime " with this conviction I bless him." Assuredly the quality of this mercy is not strained, and it ought to be twice blessed.

The Post of this ravening has the following announcement:—" Whoa the increased and daily increasing mercantile transactions between England and France and the liberal tendencies of both governments are considered, it cannot fail to give the liveliest satisfaction to the two nations to under stand that negotiations are at this moment on foot, having for their object the conclusion of a commer cial treaty on the broad basis of mutual advantage." EXPRESS FR6k PARIS. (mom ova OWN oomiabroiroam) PARIS. WUXI/MAY ETININO. As I informed you yesterday, all the French journal. received orders, couched in terms of untumal severity, not to publish the Pope's speech. How ever absurd the idea wu to suppress a dosument which will stand forth in history as one of the most important events of the nineteenth century, that idea was uppermost yesterday afternoon in the minds of the Emperor's ministers. But the Emperor, not for the first time, has shown himself on a special octa -1 Dion wiser than the system which he founded and supports. Twisting his mustachios and smoking his cigarette, he last night, at a late hour, ordered that the speech should be inserted in the ifonitestr, together with his letter to the Pope of December 31. The Univers, which knows that its days are num bered, disobeyed the injunction served upon it, and published the speech, but it stands alone in this act of disobedience to imperative though unlaw ful authority. It has made up its mind to receive the sentence of suppression whenever it may come. In the Debuts IL Prevost Paradol very ingeniously insinuates a knowledge of the extraordinary speech which was to have been kept back. Continuing his controversy with the Patric, which had denied that the Pope was personally responsible for what Cardinal Antonelli might choose to insert in the Giornale di Boma, he says :—" But the Pope some times speaks u well as write; ; what will the Patric do, if some day the Pope should happen to say the very thing which was written in his official journal ? " The Emperor's letter has been most favourably re ceived by the public in Paris. I doubt whether he ever did a more popular thing than to make it pub lic, together with the Pops's grossly insulting attack upon him. The ()potion Nationale says: _ . . It is impossible not to see the importance of the two documcats published by the Roleiteer. The Pope's speech, remarkable for the unusual violence of its expressions, contrasts strongly with the calm tone of the Emperor's letter; but this is not all: the bitter onslaught upon an anonymous pamphlet, the insertion in the Moeitintr of the pontifical speech, the Emperor's letter, published by way of an anticipated mann" to the Holy Father—all demonstrate that the quer den bits made • decisive step. Up to this time a more or less transparent anonymous veil her enveloped the pamphlet. But after reading the Monitear of this morning it is clear that the leading idea of the pamphlet, viz. the restriction e' of the Pops temporal domain, is adopted by the French government. We have already notified our reservations in reference to the incomplete solution which the pamphlet offers. We insist ei fortiori upon these reservations now that we fled in the Emperor's letter a scantiest even yet less radical. If we do not admit in principle that a city should be reduced to slavery for the greater glory of catholicism, oar objections are necessarily stronger still when we find that the welfare not merely of a single city but of one or even several previews is involved. But we are not of those who take for their motto "all or nothing." The renunciation of the Romagna', which the Emperor recommends the Pope to make, is an instalment which we accept as such, and we regard it as an important step towards the separation of the spiritual from the temporal power, the only solution com patible with that principle of uatiosal sovereignty which vs profess in France, and with the dignity of the catholic religion itself. The abandonment of the Romania; is only, it is trosos first step, but it is a great one. The Preece, while regretting that the letter crossed the speech, "so that the speech does not answer the letter and the letter does not answer the speech," says that it is nevertheless sufficiently plain that the Emperor adopts the conclusions of the pamphlet, so far as regards the separation of the legations from the Papal states. "We now clearly know what the Emperor wants and what the Pope wants. It remains to be seen what are the ultimate decisions of Italy and Europe." The Petrie continues to harp upon the resignation of Cardinal Antonelli as an event which might reconcile Pius IX. to France and the catholic world. Lord Cowley's arrival in Paris is announced by the Patric. The Presse says that his sudden return may be interpreted either as evidence that his mis sion was promptly successful, or that it was checked in the beginning. The effect of the publication in the Moniteur was to depress the Rents at the opening of the Bourse. It fell to 68fr. 30c., and 68fr. 20c. But the news, known to many operators connected with the wart, had been as usual discounted to a great extent, and purchases for cub to a considerable amount made the market rather firm before the close. The last quotation for account was 68fr. 66c., being a rise of 10c., and 681 r. 66c. was also the last cash price— the same as yesterday. Mobilier roes 2fr. 60c. There was not more than the difference of one or two francs in the closing quotations of the railways. THE FRENCH MINISTER AT ROME. ROME, WIDXISDLT.

The first Electoral College of Milan has adopted Count Caron as Pa candidate, after previously obtaining Ma mosso, THE POPE AND THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH. A telegraphic summary of the following letter of the Emperor Napoleon to the Pope appeared in the Express of yesterday evening : " Most Holy Father,—The letter which your Holiness was le good as to write me on Dec. 2 has touched me deeply, and I shall reply with perfect frankness to the appeal to my loyalty. " One of my greatest anxieties, both during and since the war, has been the situation of the States of the Church ; and truly, among the powerful reasons which have induced me to make peace so promptly must be reckoned the fear of seeing the revolution acquire every day greater proportion.. Facts have an inexorable logic, and in spite of my devotion to the Holy See, in spite of the presence of my troops at Rome, I could not escape from being in volved to a certain extent in (is es pampa. &hopper d sins certain. solidarite arse) the effects of the national movement excited in Italy by the struggle against Austria. " As soon as peace was concluded I hastened to writ* to your Holiness, and to submit to you the ideas best adapted, in my opinion, to bring about the pacification of the Homagnu ; and I still think that if at that time your holiness had consented to an administrative separation of those provinces, and to the nomination of a lay governor, they would have returned to your authority. Unhappily that did not take place, and I have found myself power less to arrest the establishment of the new regime. My efforts have had no further result than to prevent the insurrection from spreading, and the resigna tion of Garibaldi has preserved the blotches of Au cons from certain invasion. " Now the Congress is going to mumble. The powers would not disregard the incontestable rights of the Holy See over the Legations ; never theless, it is probable that they will be in favour of not having recourse to violence in order to bring them to submission. Fur, if that submission were obtained by the aid of foreign troops, it would necessit►te another long-continued military occupation of the Legations. Such an occupation would awaken the hatreds and the animosities of a great portion of the Italian people, u well as the jealousy of the great powers; it would, in fact, perpetuate a state of irritation, of unewsineiv, and of fear. " What, then, remains to be done—for it is clear that this uncertainty cannot last for ever P After a serious examination of the difficulties and the dan gers which the different combinations presented—l say it with sincere regret, and however painful the solution may be—what appears to me most in ac cordance with the true interests of the Holy See, is to mike a sacrifice of the revolted provinces. If the Holy Father, for the repose of Europe, were to renounce those provinces which for the last fifty years have caused so much embarrasement to his government, and were in exchange to demand from the powers that they should guarantee him possession of the remainder, I do not doubt of the immediate restoration of order. Then the Holy Father would assure to grateful Italy peace during long years, and to the Holy See the peaceful posatesion of the States of the Church. " Your Holiness, I am delighted to believe, will not misunderstand the sentiments which animate me ; you will comprehend the difficulty of my situa tion; you will interpret kindly the fraokness of my language, remembering all that I have done for the catholic religion and for its august chief. " I have expressed all my thoughts without re serve, and I thought it indispensable to do so before the Congress. But I beg your Holiness, whatever may be your decision, to believe that it will in no respect change the line of conduct which I have always observed in regard to you. ' " Thanking your Holiness for the apostolic blow. lug which you have sent to the Empress, to the Prince Imperial, and to me, I renew to you the assurance of my profound veneration. " Your Holiness's devoted eon, " NAPOLEON. " Palace of the Tuileries, Dec. 31,1869." THE IN.VB OF COURT VOLUNTEERS. (THIS DAL) This forenoon the members of the let and 2nd couipaniee of the Inns of Court Volunteers seeembled in the Lord Chancellor's Court, h be sworn in by hie lordship. The court was crowded. The Loan CIIANCILLOB, previous to administering the oath, &livened the following address to the volunteers : It gives me high setisfactiOn that I have been called upon to edminioter to you the oath of allegiance on your entering as volunteers into the military service of the:crown. 1 rejoins in the national movement which is now displayed ; and the ardour with which you participate in it seems to mete be very creditable to the profeedon to which we belong. Yon are reedy to defend the liberties of your country, not only in the forum, but in the geld. (Cheers.) Gentle men, this movement is not prompted by any immediate apprehetudon of danger, nor from suspicion of the design of any particular foreign ruler or state. Fortunately, we aro in amity with all nations, and I trust that we ere long likely to continue eo. (Heat hear.) Bat the opinion generally 'serails, and I believe I. well founded, that the martial disposition of our population has not of late pen been sufficiently encouraged, end that our delenose against foreign invasion have not kept pets with the in ormed feoffities for effecting a landing on oar Pored soil. (Hear, Per.) Hence the danger of patio at home, end of holding out a temptation abroad, to take advantage of our suppoesd unpreparedness. England is free from all notion of agitessions we are satiated With the moms of our colo nial east foreign possessions, and we desire, without iniseraption, to cultivate the pursuits of pease—(hear, hear): --bat to secure these blessings we must bear in mind that war may come upon as unexpectedly, and that to ward off invasion ass mast be prepared to repel it. (Kw, bear.) Gentlemien, is my early youth, wham • indent of law, I myself was • "Mier; and perhaps I might say, " Mil tavi non sine gloia." (Cheers.) I served in • most distinguished corpe, " The Inns of Court Voluntears" —of that day remarkable for its discipline and eilloinsca• , and I had the honour of being reviewed in Hyde-park by his Majesty King George 111., along with above 100,000 TOlllll - then and there assembled, reedy to march to the met, en the first alarm of the sailing of the Armada at Boulogne, which only waited a fair wind for Sandwich or Pevensey. (Hear, hear) Gentleman, we did our duty while the war lasted ; but we, or rather the government of that time, most be blamed for allowing all the volunteer corps in the king- dos—amounting, I believe, to between three and four hun deed thousand man—to be disbanded and dissolved as soon as pesos was proclaimed. (Hear, hear.) For near half a century we have had no citizen soldiers among us, and we have depended for our safety against invasion on defenders regularly in the pay of the state, who, renouncing all civil employment., professionally devote themselves to arms. (Hear, hear.) There're mast gallant defenders, and we place unbounded confidence in their heroism; but they may be greatly outnumbered by the immense bands of veteran troops who may be disembarked on our shone, and t►ey ought to be supported by our citizens voluntarily trailed to arms in every county, city, and pariah in the realm. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, it delights me to this* that we approximate to a consnot maths so devoutly to be wished for. You have set a noble example which I doubt not will be universally fol lowed, and let me express my anxious hope for your steadi ness and perseverance in your military career. As the movement does not proceed tram any momentary impalas or temporary cause, let it be permanent. (Cheers.) I hive to congratulate you on being furnished with a new weapon, the "Enfield ride," said to be much superior to that to which we trusted the now ridiculed "Brown Bess." (Laughter.) In devoting a portion of each day to martial exercise., I can say, from observation and experience, that you will neither impede your legal studies nor injure the interests of your clients. (Hear, hear.) Let the rifle be now daily in the hands of our fellow citizens as tha bow was once in the hands of our animators; and may English riflemen be as superior to all others as English bowmen once were. (Cheers.) Mr. SeLWYN, Q.C., on behalf of the volunteer*, expressed the dim satiate& ion they felt In his lordship having undertaken the duty of swearing them, thereby following the wimple of his distinguished predecessor Lord Eldon. They hoped by a display of a ,al, perseverance, and steady discipline to deserve the support and encouragement which had already ' bora awarded to them. (Hear, hear.)
