Aftmea, 711.19 m. LONDON, TUESDAY, JAN 31. use of the %to loaf! Out Catholic contemporaries in this oountry will agree with us that if the Univers had been pub lished in London, not only would it never have won martyrdom, but it would never have deserved it; for the simple reason that it might keys published a Papal Encyclio weekly till the crack of doom, and even bawled it out in Downing-street and other lonely thoroughfares by night, without so much as arousing the attention of the police. Ia Frans, however, they manage things differently, and that eminent Protectionist, M. 'Nuns, has an opportunity of discovering the advantages of pro hibition transferred from commerce to religion. It is the " ancient national traditions" of the Galilean Church which are now protected by the Imperial Government, following the footsteps of the old French monarchy. Shall we confess that by • sort of national instinct we are die- posed to respect the pluck of M. Vistru.Lor, if we could forget that he has only perished by that sword of authority which he never ceased to invoke against his rivals in the honourable field of fair discussion, and that he is bat the mouthpiece of a league of darkness, and the martyr of a whole army of op preeors How long has he abused a license denied to the advocates of freedom and toleration ! How long has he licked the hand that strikes him ! As free men we may sigh for those happier days, when liberty of instruction was demanded in behalf of the Church by great and honoured orators in con. stitutional Chambers ; when the Jesuits of the Son derbuad were defended in debate by men like M. D 6 MONTALIIIIII3T, and the cause of Italy by M• THIERS. Bat that was an odious epoch to M. Lotus Vacuum' and his patrons. They malted for darkness, and the &limes has descended span them, and upon their words and works. They have their reward; may they keep it long. This time, at least, M. VEUILLOT has fairly courted and won his fate. In the teeth of two warnings, and in the face of an express injunction restraining the pablioatios of ',lamps' mandates and inflamma tory pastorale, the Ultramontane organ published en Sunday in flaming type an Encyclical Lotter from the Port:, addressed to all Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops, Bishops, and othen in sonaestion with the Holy Sc., declaiming against the Letter of the French EIIPIROR, repu diating his counsels, and calling him to judgment. The unctuous and muttered ferocity of this General Epistle of the latest successor to ST. Porto breaks out in the 000cluding 'paragon in a storm of almost savage irony, of which the effect is heightened in the printed espy ►y all the resourese of malarial ty. pography. Tte double allegisnoe of the Venerable retettoualy al letter troroef Dy IV ropeetoti d her Eiipuoi oink* the weight of " Uo" " 0DR8111.1718, " " Our dignity," "Oar sacred " character," " Oar most important ministry," " Our power," " Our State." The Venerable Brethren and their flocks are reminded that the Holy See, that is, the "pontifical domination" of " the rebellious provinces of tEmilia," belongs to all Catholics; and in order more completely to confound the HOLT FATHER of all the faithful with the temporal misrule of an Italian province, it is even affirmed that, " we cannot abdicate it without doing a wrong to all Catholics, and without weakening the rights not only of the Princes of Italy " who have been 'Anima, deprived of their domi- Mons, but also the rights of all princes of " Christendom (why of Christendom only ?) who " cannot behold with indifference the introduction of " certain eerypensicieneprissciples,"—in other words the principles which were lately proclaimed to her Parliament and to the world in the speech of the Queen of ENGLAND. It appears from this Ency clical Letter that the " immense majority " of the people of the Romagna " were everywhere " thunderstruck " by the rising against the Papal rule ; so thunderstruck, indeed, that they have been rejoicing ever sines. " We" prayed his MAJIIHTT, "the most serene EMPEROR," "the most " powerful EMPEROR," "out of regard to his own welfare and his usefulness in the world, to relieve "as of our apprehension." And out of that "pater " nal charity," of which Colonel Baum is the apostle at Perugia, " We" reminded him of that Day of Judgment when, it seems, the integrity of " our" temporal possessions will be the sole title of an Emperor to salvation. The conclusion of this Encyclic is ominous, and dexterously pointed in the Ilifieera by the stylus of M. VEIIILLOT it may well have suggested some unpleasant passages in French history. It demands the prayers end the aid in sorry possible manner of the ecclesiastics to whom it is addressed. The studied insult implied in the unequal distribution of capital letters is no doubt VEUILLOT'S way of speaking daggers and using none, but it is difficult to forget that ecclesiastical aid " in every possible manner," has once or twice included somewhat awkward processes, and some what summary interpretations. And yet is not the best friend of the Pore the man who suppresses such an impious farrago se this Encyclical Letter ? QUESTIONS were put last night to Ministers in both Houses on the subject of those disgraceful riots at St. George's-in-the-East of which we gave an account yesterday. Common decency demands that a stop should be put to the scenes which are again becoming customary in that church, and which are making the House of GOD a very Pandemonium. On this point there is no difference of opinion. Lawlessness and outrage must cease. The only question is one of means. That which most readily suggests itself to the Government is the employment of the public force. This is aatural : Governments act by force. Accordingly, the HOME Stourrane promises that next Sunday a body of police shall be stationed outside the church and exercise a sort of censorship over the attendants. Inspector X will take his stand at the entrance and divide the sheep from the goats. We quote from the parliamentary report :—" Sir GEOIOI Lewis said " I have to-day had an interview with Sir RICHAILD " MAYNE, who has seen Mr. Klito, and from him "he has received a proposal which is made with "regard to the maintenance of order on Sunday " next. That proposal has been acceded to. It is, " that a body of polies—(' Oh, oh,' and ' Hoar, " hear')--should be stationed outside the church, and " that persona who appeared to be entering with the " intention and design—(' Oh,oh,'and counter-cheers) "—previously conceived, to create a disturbance " daring the time of divine worship, should not be " permitted to go into the church." Now, Mr. Kixo may rely on it that Englishmen will not submit to this. For fifteen years he has been preaching his church empty. A clergyman who could till it was found by the parishioners to preach to them once in the day, and the building was crowded. Mr. Kin° did his best to break down this arrange ment, and became at open war with his parishioners. Lest summer he shut the church up; after that he called in the police ; now he subjects his people to the indignity of being overhauled by the preventive force. There are apparently no lengths to which he will not go to force his practise upon an un willing people. These things must corns to an and. The courts of law and police are open to Mr. Brno, as well as to every other subject—priest, minister, or layman; but if he wants the extraordinary inter vention of the civil authority, It is only jut that this latter should inquire whence this exceptional need arises. It will then be foand that Mr. KING has wantonly and perversely neglected the ele ments of strength which lay around him within the parish, and that, in order to introduce a system of which he knew his people could not as Protestants approve, he has strengthened himself with friends and assistants, and even worshippers, drawn from remote parts of London—money from Belgravia, priests from St. Paul's, Knightsbridge, and wor shippers from Soho. Sir G. Lewis and Sir R. MAYN2 may lend him polies, but his career in St. George's is ended. He has dose all the mischief that is possible ; he threw away long since his last chance of doing any good. It only now remains for him to make way for some clergyman who can understand that Englishmen having gone through glorious perils for their Protestantism will not now resign themselves to a bastard Popery. When this is done, ana the serious-minded parishioners who have been driven from their parish church again surround • respected pastor, the miscreants who now find pleasure in desecrating the sanctuary will find out with quick instinct that their game in St. George's is at an end. In Committee of Supply to-morrow, Mr. Laiag will move that a sum, not exceeding 13,230,0001., be granted to her Majesty, to pay off and dirobarge Exchequer bills charged on the aids of 1860, =provided for. _ _ _ On going into Committee of Supply on Supple mental Army Estimates Mr. Griffith 'steads to more "that it has been proved by long and repeated experience that the use made by soldiers of their belts sad buckles when off duty is injurious to the public misty :—That it is sot essential to any military duty that they should wear equipoises ./ duty which are only nemenery for the sapped of side-arms, which are now dispensed with ones& omasions, and there fore it is the opinion et this house that the practice of allow ing soldiers to wear such belts when eff duty should be dis oontinued by the military authorities."

The Unions, which has just been suppressed by ths French government, will be continued here. CENTRAL ITALY. General Fanti retains the superior command of the troops in Central Italy at the same time that he is Sardinian Minister of War. He leaves his staff at Bologna, and in person occupies the War-office at Turin. The money now being struck off at the mint of Bologna is identical in size, alloy, weight, and value with that of Sardinia, and only differs in the motto. All the silver coins have on one side the head of Victor Emmanuel, and for inscription, " Vittore Em manuel@ H., 1869;" on the other side they bear the arms of Savoy, and their value in francs, with the initial B. to show at what mint they have been struck off. The edge is milled. The gold coins bear on one side the head of Victor Emmanuel, and on the other side they have, in the centre, their value in francs, surrounded by a wreath of laurel. It is stated in a letter from Bologna that the be lief was entertained in that city that Count Pepoli, after terminating his minion at Paris, will probably go to Berlin to have an interview with the Prince of Hohenzollern, President of the Council of Ministers, who is his brother-io-law. FLORENCE, Lug. 28. Baron Rime°li, in presenting flags to the National Guard, delivered a long address, in which he said : " We require great prudenoe and large forces to preserve our independence. A great deal remains to be done. The annexation of the provinces of Italy to Piedmont is necessary to guarantee Italian nationality, the defence of which has become a common duty." d, 19. THE CESSION OF SAVOY. The Swiss Federal Council has just drawn up a circular despatch, in which it expresses alarm at the possibility of the annexation of the county of Nice and of Savoy to France. According to an analysis of the document which has been sent to us by a cor respondent, the Federal Council remarks to the Powers that the part of Switzerland in Europe is to represent the principle of neutrality in all the wars in which France may find herself engaged. That neutrality, which is for the in terest of European order, would, in the opinion of the Federal Council, be compromised, if France, taking possession of Elavoy, wee consequently to enclose a part of Switzerland within her frontiers. In support of that opinion, • the despatch alludes to the events of the First Empire, and the difficulty which Switzerland had to secure her independence. The Federal Council, after dwelling at some length on these considerations, thinks them convincing enough to authorise Switzerland to demand from Europe the cession of the provinces of the Chablais and the Fsucigny in the event of the annexation of Savoy. CHLMBERY, MONDAY. Yesterday the party hostile to a cession of Savoy to France made a demonstration. Nearly 260 per- sons assembled from all parts of Savoy, at the request of the residents of Chambery, and asked in formation from the Governor as to whether it was the intention of the King of Sardinia to cede Savoy to France. The Governor replied that the King would not willingly cede the province. This state ment was received with some cries of " Viva le Roi !" A large number of republicans are known to be acting in the matter, actuated by hatred of France and the Imperial dynuty. The population were complete strangers to the demonstration which took place in the stroet. At the theatre in the evening not one lady was present. Judging by the results of the demonstration, it appears that the feeling of the populace at Chambery was conservative and sympathetic with France. The municipal elections have just taken place at Chambiry. The ministerial journal of Chambery presented a list of candidates opposed to the annexation of Savoy to France. It held on the eve of the elections the following language : Reflect well, electors I Do you wish to give an irresistible weapon for the mangling of Savoy? Then vote for the list of the separatist journal, the trier of the Alpe. Do you wish to maintain Savoy in its unity, name, liberdes, end small nationality ? Do you wish to come and help the government to resist, secure its triumph? Then vote for the list of the liberal constitutional committee. To-morrow for the destinies Si our little country. Let each man do his duty. The Courier of tde Alps, a conservative paper, favourable to the annexation to France, proposed another list of candidates. This list has prevailed, and obtained two-thirds of the vote.. BERLIN, JAN. 30. It is asserted that the arrangement between France and Sardinia, respecting the cession of Savoy, was agreed npos previous to the war in Italy, and was to be executed in case Austria should entirely evacuate Italy. It was also agreed that Chablais, Fancigny, and Geneva should be ceded to Switzerland. NAPLES. NAPLES, lAN. 27. its. General Pianelli hu demanded It is stated that the troops on the frontiers are to be increased. A popular manifestation, with shouts of" Viva la Constituzione," has taken place. ROME. A letter from Rome of the 25th says : On the receipt of the news of the change of ministry at Turin, the chiefs of the liberal party resolved to get up • demonstration as an answer to those recently organised by the clerical party; and, accordingly, in the evening of the 20th a crowd assembled is the Please Colons, where the manias retreat for the French garrison is sounded. After the first roll of the drums, about forty men raised the cry of "Viva Napoleons." Borne French gendarmes, who bad been ordered to prevent all demonstration, if pmeible, but sot to arrest anyone, told the leader of the bead to be silent; but the man answered, "I Dried 'Long live Napoleon!' and I cry again, ' Long live Napoleon " The drummers end trum peters having as usual commenced their marsh towards the residence of the French general, the crowd roamed repeating the same cry. On reaching the Corso, well-dresesd people came in numbers from the different streets, and joined the crowd in crying main and again "Viva Napoleon!' "Viva la Franck I" "Viva ritaliat" "Viva Vitte n Emmanuelle l" A French military bend, which had been playing in the Pima Colonna, wee made to marsh rapidly through the crowd, in the hope of diapering it, but the multitude followed it to a considerable distance raising the saute mien. After which a large number of persons re sesembled In the Corso, and remained for some time ap plauding the French Emperor and France. An attempt made by some courageous Papelino in the crowd, to bring in the name of Pio Nono for some share in the cheers was met by ominous counter-cries of " Death to Antolini." DENMARK. FLENSBURG, MONDAY. In the sitting of the Diet of to-day, M. }Lumen brought before the Chamber, on behalf of the repre sentatives of Central Schleswig, his motion with reference to the language to be used in official docu. meets. The Royal Commissary thereupon read the decision of the Bing, th►t the said proposal of the members of the Diet was not to be taken into con sideration. M. Hansen, however, declared that he would not withdraw his motion. Count Baudissin then moved, that as the question was of an urgent and serious character, it be referred to a select com mittee of 11 members. This motion was agreed to by 27 to 14 votes. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. 011011 0171 OWN 0011311POND113117.) PARIS, MONDAY Evian No. When, at the beginning of the month, the Univers, in disobedience of orders from the Minister of the Interior, published the Pope's speech against the Emperor, I told you that it had made up its mind to brave suppression. The blow has now oome ; and it is evidently struck at the Pope him self, the occasion chosen for the suppression of the Cfnivers being the publication by that journal of his Holiness's encyclical letter of Jan. 19. The Comti tutionmel, whose present editor, M. Grandguillot, delights to keep up the fiction that he acts upon his own independent judgment, gives out that it " asked itself " whether it was legally authorised to publish the letter, and resolved the question of its own accord in the negative, on account of Article 1 of the concordat. The Press., however, tells the truth, which is that M. Billault's interdiction against the publication was accompanied by a refe rence to this article, which runs thus :—" No bull, brief, rescript, decree, mandate, provision, signature serving as a provision, or other expeditions from the court of Rome, even although only concerning private individuals, shall be received, published, printed, or otherwise carried into execution, without the authori sation of the government." This very strongly worded clause has been a dead letter ever since the restore. Lion, and is even now no further acted upon than just for the purpose of establishing the right. The Constitutionswl, tells us that the " moderation and tolerance " of the administration has not thought fit to insist upon such an absolute interdiction, and that yesterday evening it and all its contemporaries were informed that they might reproduce the pontifical letter. The Siak reserves its remarks on the Pope's letter, but qualifies it already as a call to a holy war, The suppression of the UnioerB reminds the Press* that Lin 1332 the Univers atone, of all the Paris journals, hailed with enthusiastic approbation the enactment of Art. 32 of the organic decree of February 17, by which Louis Napoleon armed him self with the power to extinguish any journal what ever at his will and pleasure. "Thus," says the Freese," the arms which the Univers approved of are now turned against itself. God forbid that we should rejoice in a catastrophe which, while it weighs heavily upon writers of talent, reminds us but too forcibly of the fragility of our own existence. The lesson which we would inculcate is this—that all writers, no matter what their ideas may be, must inevitably go wrong when they attempt to separate their interests from those of liberty. Generally speaking, the suppression of a journal in volves the throwing out of bread of dozens of families who live by it. But in the present case I cannot suppose that any such distressing occurrences will have to be deplored. The foreign power for whom M. Louis VeMilot and those under him worked will no doubt indemnify his servants and subjects against any pecuniary loss. The Peter's pence subscribed by deluded Irish peasants will come in for this purpose. As to M. Veuillot himself, he will probably retire to Rome, and it is by no means impossible that he may shortly be made &cardinal. een p the Th Re ere n h te as f b er saocr:aifortivcsie cash and w at le. th fo e r a li cc ou oun rse t, Iclosing, in both oases, at 67fr. 60c., which was within a shade of the lowest price of the day.

Some people attributed the great depression to the language of foreign journals touching the annexation of Savoy; but I am more inclined to think it is owing to the breach between the Emperor and the Pope, and the probability of war in Italy. M. Granier de Cassagnac, whose articles since he has bad no mission to speak on behalf of the government are singularly pale and unmeaning, has one to-night in the Pays, which is, in the main, nothing bat a weak apology for and a weak remon strance with the Pope, bat it concludes with the following Gallic bounce : " Speaking absolutely, God has no need of any body; bat for the last fourteen centuries he has always thought it useful to employ France for the acoomplishment of his designs." A number of the principal merchants of Bordeaux assembled three days ago at the house of M. Soma zeuilh, one of their body, to form a committee to be charged with the duty of defending the economic principles set forth in the Emperor's letter. This committee, which is composed of eighteen members, immediately proceeded to elect its bureau, when M. Lopis-Donec, ex-Deputy, was chosen as president- The bureau has since been received by the prefect, who granted his authorisation for this day holding a general meeting of the commercial community of Bordeaux to declare their views on the subject.
