To the nauseous mystification which the semi official prints of the French Ei vw,a continue to inflict upon the patience of Europe for the pur pose of justifying an act of public robbery, one can only reply by M. us POriCIABUNAC'N ample appeal to his doctors---" Qua grand raisawse " meta feet it peer manger lot moruae 1" Crime itself, in all its naked savagery, is not so noxious and offensive as an elaborate attempt to make crime look like innocence. Sin is not half so odious when it is barefaced ea when it is cloaked in the garb of sanctity. To gag a man's mouth and pick his pocket, and then to asseverate that you did it with his full assent, is even more absurd than criminal. When a great French actor, with his marvellous dramatic instinct, turned a dismal drama of burglary into a bitter social caricature, he not only rescued a bad piece from impending condemnation, but made the hero of L'A ?sheep des Adrets a favourite climatal type of the meditative and romantic annexationist. The playwright had conceived the character of Macon., in the spirit of an Imperial penman of the Pays or the Constitefionwel ; the actor, with • fine sense of poetical justice and a true insight into the public taste, restored him to the domain of the correctional police, but redeemed him from contempt by lending to audacity and impudence • touch of the sublime. There is a part in the great European drama which England has never yet been prevailed upon to accept, and that is Bertram!, the weak accom plice and catspaw of the able and astute Robert; but there can he no harm in suggesting to the ready-writers of the official purlieus over • the water the moral, not of a villanous piece, but of a great actor's interpretation of the hero. If that revived Napoleonic drama, which has already had a nine years' run, is to maintain ita suocesa, we are only doing a service to the leading actor—who, like all eminent tragedians, has his " mannerism "—if we advise him to drop the high moral tone and at least to amuse the public with a specimen of downright unblushing impudence. With rare natural qualities for imper sonations of this order, he will be sure of having the laughers on his side, and the laughers are a large public in France. But a succession of the most startling tableaux is apt to drag when they are filled in with interminable tirades in praise of first prin ciples, done to order. The most moral of audiences soon tires of listening to the " damnable iteration" of the sententious homage to virtue ; and would rather, in Spartan fashion, that the young people were entertained with the spectacle of vice in all its nudity. Nothing that the French Empire has yet perpetrated (and that is saying much) has created half so much distrust and dissatisfaction among its neighbours as the State papers and semi-official articles which have first foreshadowed, then denied, then mitigakd, then explained away, and finally, when the hour of apology and exculpation was past, defended, exalted, and glorified what im punity only hail absolved. A policy of adventure, aggreseion, and bad faith may create indignation and alarm, and compel honest nations to constitute a Vigilance Coiniiiittee for mutual defence, but the moral seise of all mankind is outraged by the calculated hypocrisies of hireling pens engaged to represent fraud as honesty maligned, and force /adjoin as popular unanimity. We confess a weakness for Dick Tarpin, but •hen we drag Tat-toffs from under the table we despise the filthy sneak almost ton much to kick him. A little frank rascality would give back to the Second Empire something of the prestige which it once acquired from the generous confi dence of England ; but we are too plain and practical a people to accept an amended version of the eighth commandment, in the form of a sermon on public law. • The French floveniment is informing us, through the unrenstingagency of Mr. IIIIVTER, that the BOth regiment was recened with universal and enthtriar tic acclamation' wiwis it marched into Chambeey, and we shall hare the gratification no doubt with& the neat few days of hearing, through the 11111111111 oracle, that some other corps of red-legged apostles of fraternity have been welcomed with equal en thusiasm at Nice. Now, we pot it respectfully to the French Government-1■ not the theoey d " aeclamadaw " somewhat threadbare 1 A member of the Legislative body once defined that digni fied assembly as L. Corps ardamnnt, but the populations of Chambery and Nice have hardly yet attained that perfection of discipline in the art of expressing national sovereignty which the Legislative Corps would have invented if they ha 1 not found it ready made in the instincts of what Vowelise, who knew well, called a " rues frivolo et might be happier for the world tonuilre were the only just epithets mortal representative of French his countrymen as they appeared puldrating gloms of the philosopher The religious fanaticism 'sought • refuge over the mountains time sad almost outlive ; but the frivolity iiitieVU license to-day and servility to-morrow, which tears down authority to riot in anarchy, and reposes from riot in the arms hf absolute power ; the fri volity which to the suppleness of " the ape" ', unites the ferocity of "the tiger," has survived the mockery of Vdtrsiar, and still menaces the peace and happiness of Europe. We shall not be accused of disrespect to France if we accept VOLTAIRE'S opinion of his fellow-citisena, for when we speak of any nation we speak, as VOLTAIRE did, of the nation with which we come in contact—of the governmental nation—not of the few wise men who are in it, but not of it, and whose genius is not of one country or of one age, but of all countries and of all time. There is no living nation that has deserved better or worse of humanity than the French ; there is no nation which the world could less afford to lose. In the le range of moral and physical science, in all the arts and in every field of literature, in all the graces and accomplishments that contribute to the piety and charm of refined society, who does not look to France, with her piercing and airy wit, her hioomparably bright and nimblelanguage, her quick Invention, and her lightning flashes of prophetic ardour, sea sort of second country t And if For Revolution had not maddened and then murdered liberty, what free man would not envythe people by • " the principles of 'B9 " were once pro dding f But it were idle, and worse than idle, at lift time of day, to flatter the genius and the great nide of France. The genius and the greatness of France are immortal ; but our business is with the France of the Second Empire. And what do we find I We find not only the mass who obey, or at least acquiesce, but the minority who dissent if they do not oppose, united at last in the praise of an act of unscru pulous force, which appeases that national lest of domination, and flatten that ferocious na tional vanity, which worships not the Christian Goa of Battles, but the Pagan god of War. Has net the iron of despotism entered into the soul of "Rhona " Prance, when the journal of brilliant Or leans* old and young, conspires with bees of gripes in osiebraling the triumphs of fraud and force, end in empleing its wits upon poor degenerate Albion, because Odes declines to be stung into sear in the intends of pretenders f We pay no attention to journals notoriously in the pay or ender the influents of power ; we make allowances for a paramount national sentiment ; but when we see • paper like the Debuts, the professed apologist in evil days of liberty and morality, abetting annexations and sneering at the resistance of a free country because it is only a moral and not an armed resistance to injustice, we are compelled to acknowledge that this school of old and young French Liberals are not unworthy of the form of government under which their polite malignity is suffered to siindate independence. With all their affected sympathy for Engle-1 institutions, their faith in moral freedom co-ies to this—they sneer at the English Parliament because the English Parliament denounces a public wrong, but shrinks from the terrible guilt of making war for a cause in which neither the honour nor the welfare of England is at stake.

PROPOSED EXTENSION OP THE EPISCOPATE. A committee has been appointed consisting of the Very Rev. Dr. Alford, Dean el Canterbury ; the Hon. and Rev. Dr. Dunoombe, Bess of York; the Ve Rev. Dr. Trench, Dean of Westminster ; the V Anthony Grant, D.C.L., Archdeacon of St. Albans ; the Rev. Dr. Jell, Principal of King's College ; the Rev. Dr. Words worth, Canon of Westminster; the Rev. Dr. Francis Hooey, Ineambent of Bt. Barletta', Kensington ; the Rev. Ernest Hawkins, ID., Prebendary of Bt. Pure ; the Rev. W. B. Caparn, M.A., and the Bev. J. Hamilton. M.A., for the pso of circulating a declaration which has been prepared an Immediate increase in the episoo pate in En g l un d li Wales, and which has already received the signatures of upwards of 4,000 clergymen. The decla ration is to the following effect " We, the undersigned clew of the United Church of England and Ireland, thruiVully acknowledge the increase of seal and activity which has of late been shown in the Church of England, but deplore that her energies are greatly hindered by the want of an epiecopate at all ade vete to the presentspicitaal iieths . of t he . people.

We believe that opportunities of more frequent personal inter course between a bishop and the clergy and laity of his dio cese, and the more frequent administration of the holy rite of confirmation would tend to infuse new life and vigour into the church, and to promote unity, consistency, and adiciency in the labour, of those who are working for the salvation of souls ; and, judging as well from the experience of former ages as from the happy results which have at tended the extension of the episcopate in the British colo nies, we confidently anticipate similar advantages from the extension of the episcopate at home. We desire, therefore hereby to exprees our earnest hope that measures may speedily be adopted for the adequate extension of the epis copate in England and Wales." The Rev. Brymer Belcher, ILA., incumbent of Bt. Gabiters, Pimlico, has consented to act as secretary to the committee. We fear the Nbats must empty many quivers of epigrams before it will persuade the England of 180 to be so insanely criminal as to plunge the world into confusion in order that one or other of tho Botranos branches may display their gratitude or their "cordial understanding" at her expense. It is noticeable that the Debuts repre sents with singular felicity the animus of our domestic Toryism, with the single difference that our Tories, who, in their natural love for absolute power (so it be legitimate), never breathed a word against Austrian usurpations in Italy or in Poland, are indignant at the annexations in which the Ddbats patriotically rejoices. Happily the iron of military despotism has not entered into the souls of honest Englishmen of any party. It is one thing to assail a Ministry, and quite another to set the world in flames in the hopes of scrambling through the ruins to tho Treasury Bench.

ATTITUDE OF The following la a summary of the report ad dreamed by the Federal Council to the Federal Aare ably : ZURICH, MARCH 29. The interests of the safety, independence, and neutrality of Switzerland demand that her rights in tolerance to the neutralised provinces of Savoy should not be encroached upon by their annexa tion to France. Even admitting that the neu trality of these provinces should continue, their annexation would still be against the treaties, and would threaten the rights and ir tercets of Switzerland. The emotion of the offices of the - • - 'owers oonoerning thew questions aad, on condition :that so moo- portion of those provinces by Franoe previou.'y takes place, and that the atatu quo shall be respected. The following are therefore the pro posals made by the Federal Council That the Assembly may ratify the resolutions which have been adopted, and grant the necessary credits. The Aiwsmbly should request the Council tocon tinue to protect energetically the rights and interests of Switzerland in regard of the neutralised provinces of Savoy, and to obtain that , the Wats quo should be respected. It may also ' authorise the President to take all necessary mea sures to that effect. The Federal Assembly will be again convoked, in the event of its becoming neoes xary to call out the troops, or should other grave circumstances require it.

General Lamoriciere arrived here three days ago by Austrian Lloyd's steamer, and immediately left again for Rome. The following is the text of the order of the day issued by General de Goyon to the French troops the day after the cotillion between the Pontifical gendarmery and the people : ROME, Mimi 20. Deplorable events occurred on the Corso last evening, but we must examine then• origin in order to understand them. In fact, to Ilia is equivalent to • blow—it is offering an intuit freer • distance instead of close at band—it provokes a revenge which justifiable indignation does not always allow to be taken with proper calm ness. Such is the cause of the lamentable circumstances which followed the onset of the insulted Pontifical gen darmery. But the order was given by a French officer, who could not permit that insult to be endured by men in military uniform without degrading them and humiliating himself. The order was therefore properly given, but its execution unhappily was not such as it would have been with men knowing that a cool and firm repression is infinitely better, because it avoids the irritation which blind pardon intent Let us be calm ourselves and moderate in our judg ments. Let us remember that, seconling to the Emperor's orders, our duty is to maintain here the supremacy of the law and respect for authority ; and that f( r that purpose we are the supports of the Pontifical troops. If we obstruct or paralyse their action, we weaken the power we ought to support, and we plane ourselves under the necessity of fulfilling their duties ourselves. There is no alternative. The latter would make our service much heavier ; let us, therefore, confine ourselves to the former, which is our strictest duty. The general ie pro foundly affiicted at the disasters which have befallen OIECCTS and soldiers under; his command, but he has too much confident* in their nobleness of character not to feel rare they will acknowledge that this lamentable occurrence arose from no in-feeling towards them, but from the rash conduct of men blinded with paision when provoked by unbearable insults. The general recommends the soldiers to avoid crowds, and to retire to their barracks, or to the troops stationed for the maintenance of order. He will receive the complaints of the wounded, and prosecute the guilty parties if they can be identified. The following was afterwards published : ROMA Mance 23. The General of Division hasten/ to mako known that he received yesterday, on the part of the Pontifical government, the most feeling expression of regret for the wounds re ceived by two officer/ of the division in the riot of the 19th. Moreover, a deputation of officers of the Pontifical gendarmery, in full uniform, headed by a superior officer, bad come to exprees similar sentiments, and obtain the names and addresses of the wounded in order to present to them the same testimony of sympathy.

BERLIN, TwUIeDAT. The reply of Prussia to M. Thounsuel's note was mut to Paris the day before yesterday. Prussia disapproves of the annexation of Savoy to France. Switzerland, whose rights were reserved by Sar dinia, has made an appeal to the powers. Those rights must be examined and protected. Prussia concluded by announcing that she will treat the question of Switzerland ui a special note. TUSCANY. LEGHORN, MARCH 29. Prince Carignan has arrived here, and has met with an enthusiastic reception. His royal highness is expected to enter Florence this evening, where a splendid reception awaits him. GERMANY. FRANKFORT-ON-TIMM.AINE, Tin:MOAT. Austria has notified to the Federal Diet her pro test against the annexation of the Italian Duchies to Sardinia. Prussia has repeated her reserve in reference to the question of the re-establishment of the consti tution of Electoral Hesse. The Federal Diet, in reply to Prusai, referred to its resolutions on the question. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (intox ocra own om PARIS. TIIOIIBDAT EVENING. The Pays confirms the statement that negotia tions are going on for the occupation of Rome by Neapolitan troops. The Pays now "believes" that General Limo riders has really gone to Rome to take the com mand of the Pontifical army, but, referring to its equivocal article of the other day, it protests that it did not mean to reproach or threaten the general in citing Art. 21 of the Civil Code, but merely to express a regret that he should take service with a foreign power without having previously obtained the authorisation of the French government. The Pays presumes too far upon the forgetfulness of its readers. The article of which I sent you the text was studiously ambiguous, but was not open to the construction which it now puts upon it. The Pays said distinctly that General Lamoriciere was not the man to have taken the step in question without permission. Its present opinion can only be the result of supplemental instructions. The policy of the French government, in with drawing its troops from Rome, supposing the news to be really true, which I should be very sorry to guarantee, is most puzzling. Unless Austria again invades Italy nobody supposes that Neapoli tan troops, even with all the aid that they might get from Spain, could bold Rome for a week. The concentration of the French army in France, the continuous military preparations, and the sudden recall of officers on leave, lead to the apprehension that war on a grand scale is contemplated before the year is out. I venture to predict, and I shall probably remind your readers of this prediction shortly, that within a few days the government journals will accuse England of m intention to take Sicily, and will simultaneously endeavour to get up a war feeling upon that score. A journal under French protection, to be called Lea Nationalita, will shortly come out in Geneva, to advocate the doctrine of natural frontiers to the fullest extent. " Order" will speedily reign at Nice. The for midable Corsican Pietri, formerly prefect of police in Paris, has arrived there, and woe to the anti annexationista who get upon his black books. A cor respondent of the Pays naively says that "it is most desirable that the occupation should precede any voting, and that the votes cannot be really free, except under the protection of French regi ments." Nevertheless, the Pays says to-night that orders have been sent that the army of Lombardy should not leave garrisons in Saint Julien and Bon neville, the French government having declared that it will not take military occupation of Savoy until the whole question is definitively settled. There is reason to think, however, that this decla ration only applies to the neutralised provinces of Savoy. The upward movement of the Bourse assumed extraordinary proportions to-day. The Route rose lfr. 36e. for cash, and lfr. 40c. for ac count, closing at 70fr. 40c. and 70fr. 36e. Mobilier rose 40fr. The Orleans and Lyons railways rose llfr. 26c. each ; Northern, 7fr. 60e. ; and the other lines about 2fr. 50c. It would be a great mistake to suppose that this rise is any index to the real opinion of the public upon political events. It is entirely owing to extraordinary efforts and reckless expenditure of money on the part of the government. The fact is notorious that the Rente, to the extent of two millions, representing a capital of 400 millions, has been bought for the amount of government institutions. It is publicly announced that the Caisse de Depots et Consignations will buy daily till the 24th of April. The money article of the Opinion Nationa/^ boasts that the movement is a national reply to the debate in the English parlia ment. Several weeks ago the ultramontanist party organised a movement which they intended to be universal in France, to petition the Senate in favour of the temporal power of the Pope. The result of their efforts is a ridiculous failure. It appears from a report of Senator d 3 Royer, published in the Meaiteur, that the petitions, 42 in number, presented to the Senate on this subject, contain only 6,342 signatures. This is the numerical de monstration of a population of 36 millions of Frenchmen in response to the cry raised by certain bishops and jeauita of " church in danger." The signatures collected in Paris were but 313. It is only fair to observe that the Pope's agents would doubtless have enlisted a great many more recruit., were it not for the prevalent and not altogether unfounded impression, that to sign a petition against the imperial policy is a perilous act. How. ever, the fact remains, that the ultramontaniat party is impotent in France. M. de Royer, in order the more to discredit the pretensions of the peti tioners to represent the opinions of the country, points out that Bof the Paris petitions and 12 of those from the departments are couched in identical terms. He tells the petitioners that they are alto gether mistaken in the temporal powers of the Pope as a matter affecting their conscience and an article to the catholic faith. In support of this position he cites at superabundant length passages from history, showing that the Popes have at sundry times gained and lost various territories without their spiritual juriadic. tion being in any way affected. He recapi tulates the events of the war in Italy for the purpose of showing that the Emperor did all he could to support the Pope's rights, and is in no way responsible for the Romagnas having thrown off the yoke. After warmly approving the passive attitude of the Emperor, and stating that to take the petitions into consideration would be to imply doubt and anxiety about the imperial policy, he prudently leaves the door open for further ap probation in case the Emperor, to whose " wisdom and authority" it is fitting to leave everything, should at any time hereafter think proper to interfere actively on behalf of Rome; " If there is anything to be done the Emperor's past conduct is a sufficient guarantee for the future." Thus, in the opinion of the reporter of the Senate, whatever is is right, and whether the Emperor continues to abandon Rome to herself, or shall think fit to give her s lift, the Romanist petitions are undeserving of node's. He therefore proposes to meet the debate upon them by the " previous question," or, to use French parliamen. Lary language, the "order of the day." The Senate met this morning to consider the report, and although a few ultra-catholic members will probably have spoken in favour of the petitions, there is no doubt that the previous question will have been carried by an enormous majority. A letter from Paris says :—" The Bishop of Orleans preached yesterday (Wednesday) at tho church of Bt. Rod Never since General Bonaparte pitilessly shot down the ' sections' on its steps, in Ven demiaire, has that sacred edifice held such a concourse within its walls. Had the prelate suffered fine and imprisonment there could hardly have been fa more marked ' manifestation.' The sermon was announced for 2 o'clock, but from 6 in the morning many people had taken their places. The crush was so great, particularly when the bishop ascended the pulpit, that for some time he wee unable to proceed in consequence of the heaving to and fro of the dense mass before him, the desperate struggle of those outside to get in, and the confusion mused by the women calling for help, and carried out fainting. The prelate is of • robust cad of mind, lint for mime time his emotion was so great, from the intense interest exhibited by the people, that be was hardly master of himself. After some time order was restored, and the congregation (which AM filled every part of the church almost to suffocation) listened to his sermon in the deepest silence. He made not the remotest allusion to politics in his sermon, the subject of which was charity. The line of carriages extended for a long way in the Rue St. 110110fi, believe nearly to the Place de la Concorde." Didlle. Martinez, who ix known by the name of "The Black Malibran," appeared on Wednesday before the President of the Civil Tribunal, at Paris, end represented that she had obtained an engagement of 400 fr. • month ►t • new siuging café, called the Alcazar, in the Faubourg Poissonniere, but that her creditors had put in an opposition to the payment of her salary ; and she prayed abe might be allowed to receive three-fourths of the money, in order to enable her to live. The creditors objected to the demand. but the president accorded it. A fire broke out a fow days ago in the apart. l i menu occupied by the Portuguese minister, in the (lacteal Palace, at Rome, which, by-the-bye, is the head-quarters of the are brigade, of which the Duke Gaerani is commander. It appears that the fire, which had been smouldering all night, was only discovered by the duke's son, who, going out to shoot at daybreak, found the stairs of the palace in a dense smoke. The conflagration was soon subdued, but not before the Portuguese archives, dating back to 600 years ago, and containing some very curious documents, partici'. Ludy those relative to a celebrated controversy about the Jesuits, were entirely consumed. A letter from St. Petersburg • says :—" Imbue. thus for carrying out the abolition of serfdom are being addressed to the authorities. Among other things, the Emperor has ordered that traders, burgesses, and in general all the inhabitants of towns, shall pans into what is called the clam of free cultivaton. Hitherto that had not been permitted." EXTRAORDINARY ACCUMULATION OP WEALTH. —On the 14th instant, an old lady, 82 years of age. Mime Mary Weary, of Neruicoe, near Wadebsidge, died. She was known to possess a considerable amount of property. parrt of which mine to her as the survivor of two mitu from her brother, the old Squire John Weary, who was well known for his eccentricity throughout Cornwall. After Miss Weary's death, her room, which no one had been allowed to outer for ten years before, was seuched, and about 9,000(. was found in the room. 5145/. was found in cash, and sonic rolls of notes of the Eaat Cornwall Beak, which had been out of the bank, if not in &cu. lobe, for 36 years. Several hundreds of pounds were found wrapped up in cotton, and a utensil was full of sovereigns. Two packets of noted were found with a thousand pounds in each, and some thous sands were found in the health*, and eime of the money was so dirty that it had to be washed. Nearly a cart load of were found, and amongst then, a great number of f i g e li7s ; many, we are informed. out of date. It is not yet known how much property Miss Weary has left, but it must b 3 very considerable. Some of the land will pus to the heir. at-law, Mr. Thomas Cleave, of St. Breock ; but the remain. ing landed property will puma, with the other property, to sixteen nieces, awl grand-nephews nud nieces, who will, probably, make a better use of it then in keeping it idle. Mrs. Downing, of Plymouth, the only daughter of Mr*. John Legoe, of St. Breock, who is one of the lucky in. heritore, will collie in for a good share, her mother, it is said, being entitled to a third of the chattels. It is supposed that there are a great many hank notes still secret 4 for there are still many old Doter missing. —Plymouth Jeered. THE MYETERIOUIi DEATH OF as OFFlCES.—Yes terday Mr. Bedfonl, the coroner for Westminster, resumed and concluded the inquiry, ut the Monster Tavern, Pimlico, respecting the death of Mr. John Thompson, aged id, who bad served as an officer of the 16th 4encen in the Peninsu. I.w War as well as in the Crimea. The proceedings of the former inquiry appeared in our columns. Dr. Pearce, of Regent-street, Westminster, stated that in his opinion the cause of death was compression of the brain, which would, no doubt, be caused by violence, as the externd wound on the right side of the bead s howed. Robert Cox deposed that he was a tailor, and lived at 8, Apollo-court. He had by chance met the deceased, who ho thought was his brother, awl they then had some gm and water together, but he (Cox) became so int,.m.satal that he did nut know what became of the deceived, awl could not account fur his being where he was found. Before the deceased died lie gave to bun his keys, and said, "If anything happens to one, all lily property is yours." lie had since the deceased's death pawned the watch at Atten. borough's, but he luel lost the ring. The rest of the pre. perty he meant to keep, as he considered it was left to him. I The coroner said the statement of Cox was one which could not at all be relied upon, as he had stated that he was en drunk that he did not know what he Was doing. A legal gentleman, who C are on behalf of Mr. Palmer, said that proceedings a tZi l en against Cox in another court, and he no on that the property of the deceased, to which Coy had wit the slightest right, as it COUtil be clearly proved lie was no rho tier whatever to the deceaeed, might be phased inside heels. The coroner keying summed up, the jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased hod died from eau session ou the brain, produced by an e ff usion of blood, which had been caused by the injuries lit had weeiveil, but how those Warns hal been mused there was no evidence to show." 1 plow Look libera MaDy He; the sh Ito soner bitu come and cl 'Mich foldia nest house our _DeTg. andll cae9l Ili( one of two y offeoc took e them, brew was t 4 but a The tion t starvi The and U R.
