BURROWS and Co. are not disposed to comment upon the purity of their wines, which is daily most laudably acknow ledged by the public and eminent medical men of all coun tries, as the increasing patronage of the highest families in the l tud is a sufficient guarantee. _ _ They bet to call particular attention to their pure Tonic Wines, as being so valuable to Invalids and persons of weak stomachs. A sample case, containinz three full-sized wine bottles, Will be forwarded to any address on receipt of P. 0.0. for 6s. 6d., or a dozen for 21s. It is a well-known fact that impure and adulterated wines are the greatest foes to health, producing acidity in the stomach, and debilitating the d'gestive organs, while pure wines will accelerate the digestive powers, invigorating, strengthening, and bracing the nervous system. Their Tonic Wine is admitted to be most essential to in valids, both old and young, and should never be absent from the homes of the weak and sickly. Its properties aro duly acknowledged and appreciated by the leading men of the faculty, both at home and abroad. To prevent imposition each bottle is sealed with the name of the firm. _ _ All orders to be made payable to HENRY BURROWS. INEGAR.

LIVINGSTON'S EXPLORATIONS IN THE INTERIOR OF AFRICA. —The indefatigable researches of Dr. Livingston have suddenly made us accouainted with one of the happiest people in the world, of whose very, existence little was hitherto known in civilised Europe generally. — The province of Angola, Dr. Livingston writes in the "Jour nal of the Royal Geographical Society," possesses great fer tility and beauty, and its capabilities, both agriculturally and commercially, are of a very high order ; indeed, I do not fear contradiction in asserting it to be the richest in Western Africa The great scientific traveller, who spent 16 years among this favoured people, has had ample opportunity of studying their physical and moral condition, and his details are most curious, They appear indeed to enjoy an Elysian felicity, requiring neither physic nor the physieian, for Dr. Livingston found their staff of life to be the Revalenta Ara bica Food, which keeps them perfectly free from disease, " eon aumption, scrofula, cancer, drc., being, scarcely heard of, and the small-pox and measles have not been known for twenty years. In England also the Revalenta Arabica has produced a wonderful improvement in the health of the people, remov ing cough, consumption, asthma, debility, indigestion (dys pepaia). constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver complaints, and restoring the faculty of digestion, and nervous and mus cular energy to the Most enfeebled, as proved by testimonials from the rainy thousand well known Individuals, whose health has been restored by this useful and economical diet, after all other means of cure had been tried in vain for many years, and all hopes of recovery abandoned.

The screw steamship Anglo-Saxon, Captain Bal lantyne, which landed the Irish portion of the Ca nadian mails at Queenstown yesterday, arrived in the Mersey to-day. Her advices are to the 28th ult. The Teutonia had arrived out. The Senate was not in session. The House of Representatives had adjourned for a few days, after another ineffectual attempt to elect a Speaker. The division last stood : " Whole number of votes Necessary to a choice Mr. Sherman had Mr. Smith (North Carolina) Mr. Corwin Scattering The discussion which led to the division was as follows : . 228 . 115 . 106 . 112 . 4 . 6." " Mr. Mallory said his party yesterday voted for one of their own members, Mr. Smith, of North Carolina, bslieving his name would result in the organisation of the House. Gentlemen on the other side had said they were willing to vote for some sound, national man of the American party, and elect him to the Speaker's chair. Hence Mr. Smith was voted for by the Americans, on the faith of implied pledges. He (Mallory) had been ap proached by gentlemen on all sides, who stated they did not like that way of putting the gentleman for ward, and claimed that, in order that they should understand what they were doing, his friends should formally nominate him this morning. In compliance with their wishes he had been instructed by his party to nominate Mr. Smith, of North Caro lina, as their nominee for the Speakership. Mr. Adrian called attention to the statement in the New York Tribune, that he and cer tain other Anti-Lecomptonites were chosen by Republican votes, with the understanding they would assist the Republicans in organizing the house. The house voted for Speaker amid much excitement. The South Americans voted for Smith, of North Carolina. Various Democrats, now seeing there was a prospect of an election, changed their votes to him. Some made brief explanations to the effect that they wanted to promote harmony in the contest. There was frequent applause, and marked attention was paid on all sides. Morris, of Penn sylvania, Millward, Nixon, Scranton and Wood, who had voted heretofore for Sherman, now voted for Smith. Before the result was announced there was a change in the current of feeling. John Coch rane rose to give his reasons why he could not vote for Smith. Several gentlemen endeavoured to de prive him of the floor by raising points of order on him. In conclusion Mr. Cochrane changed his vote to Mr. Millson ; he could vote for none but a Democrat. Other explanations were made by Democrats for a change of their votes to Smith. Mr. M'Clernand said, as it was now in the power of the Democratic party proper to elect Smith, ho changed his vote for him, and expressed the hope that:the Democrats of thenorth-west wouldgive him their support. Bocock made a short speech. He was always willing to unite on any sound man, and 'Wed for Smith. Other Democratic changes were made to Smith, accompanied with occasional re marks, some saying they desired to give peace to the country and strike a blow at the irrepretoible conflict, preferring a national Whig to a sectional Republican. Mr. Morris, of Illinois, said, if his vote could elect Smith he would not give it. Other explanations were made favourable to chang ing for Smith. Intense interest was expressed throughout the proceedings. More short speeches were made. Mr. Cobb made a humorous speech by way of exhortation to his dissenting poli tical friends to come up to the support of Smith. He called attention to the fact that men of all parties voted for him. If gentlemen did not now avail themselves of the present opportunity they nester would come nearer to electin g es. a nominee who was opposed by the Republicans. Mr. Ruffin, as the only man standing aloof from the southern phalanx voted, after explanation, for Smith, saying he had been encouraged by his northern Democra tic colleague to do so. Other explanations fol lowed. Messrs. English and Niblack voted for Smith, as the contest narrowed down between them, a Republican and an American. Mr. Morris, of Illinois, wanted Mr. Smith to say for himself whe ther he repudiated the doctrines of the Know- Nothings. Several Democrats stated that they had heard this fact from his own lips: Mr. Burnett thought they ought to let patriotism be above party at this crisis. Mr. Morris wanted Mr. Smith to answer the question. Mr. Clemens and others ob jected to Mr. Smith's responding. Mr. Clemens wanted a man to go into the chair untrammelled, as a fair and honest man. Other votes were changed for Smith, and were greeted with applause. Mr. Morris, of Illinois, finally came over to Smith, being satisfied he was not a Know-Nothing. Tre mendous applause followed. Several other Demo crats changed to Smith, among them John Coch rane, who had learned that Mr. Smith never was a member of a Know-Nothing lodge, but that he was an old•line Whig, and a representative of national principles. (Applause followed.) The interest in creased as the House neared an election. Mr. Barr changed his vote to Smith. Mr. Sherman voted for Corwin, when Mr. Jenkins changed from Smith to Sherman, thus spoiling for the time an election. Mr. Scranton withdrew his vote from Smith, and put Corwin in nomination. Cries of ' too late' and much sensation. Messrs. Vallandighan and Cox changed to Smith. Two more votes were now un derstood to be required to elect Smith. Intense interest was everywhere manifested. Mr. Morris, of Pennsylvania, understanding that the Republicans would present Mr. Corwin, withdrew his name from Smith and voted for Corwin. (Hisses from the galleries and cries of announce the vote.') Mr. Nixon changed from Mr. Smith to Mr. Penning ton, thus removing the result further off. Mr. Keitt commenced a speech. Mr. Dunn thought Mr. Keitt's remarks were designed to delay in order to afford an opportunity to manipulate ten• der-footed Democrats. Mr. Reitt proceeded to ex pose the inconsistency of those who voted for and then changed against Mr. Smith. An armed body of 1,000 men raised in Texas had volunteered for service in Mexico. THE NAVY _ESTIMATES. The navy estimates for 1800-61 were published yesterday. The grand total sum required to be voted for the ensuing financial year is stated to be £12,802,200, against £11,775,718, thus exhibiting a net increase of £1,026,482. There is an increase on all the items except No. 8 (wages to artificers at home), No. 11 (new works, &c., in the yards), No. 14 (half -pay). The effective services take £10,971,102 out of the grand total of £12,802,200. The items are 1, Wages to seamen and marines, £3,476,757; 2, Victuals for the same, £1,458,087 ; 3, Admiralty office, £160,280 ; 4, Coastguard Service, Royal Naval Coast Volunteers, and Royal Naval Reserve, £287,725 ; 5, Scientific Branch, £64,322 ; 6, esta blishments at home, £174,378; 7, establishments abroad, £30,953; 8, wages to artificers at home, £1,440,681 ; 9, wages for the same abroad, £63,686; 10, naval stores for building and repair of ships, £3,204,434 ; 11, new works, &c., in the yards, £444,049; 12 medicines and medical stores, £73,000; and, 13, miscellaneous services, £92,750. Half-pay figures for £691,262 ; military pensions, &c., for £488,806 ; and. civil pensions and allow ances for £173,030. For the Army Department (conveyance of troops) the sum of £478,000 will be asked. The naval force will consist of 66,100 seamen and boys in the fleet and Coastguard service ; 18,000 marines and 1,400 civilians in the Coastguard ser vice—making a grand total of 85,000 men. £30,530 is asked for bounty money, &c., to volunteers into the Royal Naval Coast service, and £lOO,OOO for annual "retainers" to volunteers into the Royal Naval Reserve, conduct money, expenses of billeting, and other expenses. The Coastguard service, properly so called, will cost £149,068. The gross total for this service, the Royal Naval Coast Volunteers, and the Royal Reserve, is as already stated, £287,725. 9,500 men are to be employed in the Coastguard service. £20,000 is provided as bounties for seamen who will volunteer into the Royal Navy (wages branch) ; and £20,800 for good conduct pay to petty officers and men after certain periods of service. There will also be half bounty and gratuitous issues of clothing and bed ding to seamen and boys, besides tobacco and soap. The navy proper will include 54,000 officers, sea men, and boys to be employed in the fleet, 2,000 to be employed in sarveying, troop, and store ships, and 2,000 boys to be trained in training ships. In the course of last autumn the Lords of the Ad miralty drew the attention of their colleagues at the Treasury to the necessity of keeping up a number of gunboats available for the protection of the shores and the various mercantile ports of the coun try en cas de besoin, and to the growing demands for such gunboats in the colonies. The Surveyor of the Navy stated that of the original number of gunboats-161---38 had been sent abroad, and ac cordingly suggested that so serious a deficiency should be supplied as soon as possible, by ordering, in addition to the 18 boats of 80-horse power then (Sept. 1859) being built, 20 of 60-horse power, of obout 268 tons, and of an improved design, the cost of which would be £206,000 (£134,000 for hull and £72,000 for machinery). The Lords of the Treasury' were pleased, in October, to authorise the Admi ralty to commence forthwith the construction of 10 additional gunboats. There are several surveys now in progress, as follows :—Home surveys—North Sea and East Coast ; Devon, Cornwall, South Coast ; Bristol Channel; Mull and Ayrshire ; Skye and Inverness ; Sound of Harris ; East Loch, Tarbert ; Antrim and Down ; Kerry, West Coast ; the Channel Islands. Foreign surveys—The coast of Syria ; the Greek Archipelago ; the Cape Colony ; Torres Strait, Aus tralia : China Sea ; coast of Tartary ; Vancouver's Island ; West India Islands ; Bay of Fundy ; and the Gulf of and River St. Lawrence. INDIAN COTTON. The following- relates to the question of Indian cotton supplies, and points to the probability of India again becoming, from the fitness of her popu lation, a great manufacturing country : " The flow of capital from this country to India, which is now attracting special attention, has ex cited some speculative opinion as to the employ ment it may find after it gets there. " There are two openings in India for its em ployment, both of great extent and of promising appearance—the one in the manufacturing of cot ton and other textile fabrics by machinery, and the other in the improvement of land. Which of these is likely to prova the most attractive is an important question. With extensive coal fields, easily worked, an abundance of cheap, docile, and teachable labour—with raw cotton procurable at a fourth part of the English cost—with an unlimited demand for manufactures at prices greatly in ex cess of those obtainable in this country, and with a Government which would certainly do nothing to discourage a manufacturing trade, its facilities for manufacturing are unequalled. Few of these advantages are to be found in the same degree in any other country, all of them combined in none. The four or five manufacturing establishments which have recently sprung up in Western India appear to be realising large profits, notwithstand ing the extra expenses incidental to the first in troduction of a manufacturing trade, the difficulty of working joint-stock companies in India, and the evident want of sagacity in their moth's operandi. " Profitable as manufacturing would be in the hands of practical men, the improvement of land promises a yet larger return of investments ; and this latter operation has the advantage of being more in accordance with the habits, feelings, and interests of the people generally. " It is an established fact that drought is the only obstruction to the production of crops of cotton in India equal or superior in value to those of other countries, which vary from £6 to £lO from the annual plant of America, and from 50s. to a maxi mum of £2O from the perennial of the irrigated lands of Egypt; the value of the latter depending entirely on the efficiency of the irrigation and the attention bestowed on the cultivation. With a more efficient system than the present of irrigating, the maximum would probably become the average pro duce ; and the cost of production, the principal portion of which is now wasted in water-lifting, would be reduced from 2.64 d. per lb. (the price paid by the Government when cotton was a Government monopoly) to something below Id. per lb. " The antidote to this drought in India is an ex tensive system of canalisation, which, to be efficient, must necessarily be extensive, combining, with irri gation, cheap transport from the interior to the sea board. The expenditure of a large amount of capi tal on these extraordinary works is the primary condition of any investments in the ordinary re quirements of agriculture, so far as the cultivation of cotton and sugar is concerned. • The cost, allow ing 10 per cent. on the capital expended, and an ample allowance for management and maintenance, would be 2s. 6d. per acre per annum. By such means, and at this cost, the value of an acre of cot ton would be raised from the present average of 13s. 10d. to £lO and upwards. The growth of cotton for export is in India much more a question of production than of transport. Cheap carriage, per se, unaccompanied by irrigation, is more favourable to the production of grain and seeds than cotton. The low sea freights and thehigh price of seeds (which is tantamount to cheap car riage in India), in the official years '57-8 and '5B-9 reduced the expenditure of cotton in '5B-9 by 224,000 bales, as compared with that of '56-7, and increased the export of seed in proportion. It is the cheap river communication between Calcutta and the interior which gives a higher acreage value to other and balkier articles than to cotton. " These extensive works can bo provided by the enterprise and intelligence of the capitalists of this country only : but :whether the Government will give any bona fide encouragement to tiv it construc tion remains to be seen. The patronage of the public works department, and, in a less degree, the existing land tenures have always been great ob structions to investments in land improvements, and remain so to this day. It depends, then, on the action of Government into whi c h o f these two large channels capital shall hereafter flow, the one is open and safe, the other is dammed at the mouth and choked with weeds.

Two despatch gunboats, named the Pelican and. the Steady, were launched yesterday from the ship building-yard of Messrs. W. C. Miller and Son, Sefton-street, Liverpool. Their dimensions are : Length between perpendiculars, 145 feet ; length for tonnage, 127 feet 10 inches ; extreme breadth, 25 feet 4 inches ; breadth moulded, 24 feet 6 inches; depth of hold, 13 feet; tonnage, 425 tons; draught of water when fully equipped, 9 feet 3 inches for ward, and 1I feet 6 inches aft. The engines of 80- horse power, will be supplied by Napier, of G las- gow. They are to carry each one 95-cwt. pivot gun and four 241 b. carronades, and are to be igged as three-masted schooners. The launching was very successfully accomplished, and the beautiful modsl of the two vessels were much admired by professional men who were present. Messrs. Miller have also on hand two more gun boats, to be named the Heron and Dotterel, of 267 tons each, which are intended to be more heavily armed than those just launched.

A deputation from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, West Hartlepool, and Filey, had an interview with Lord Palmerston, at his lordship's residence in Picca dilly, yesterday, with a view of pressing upon her Majesty's Government the urgent necessity of commencing the construction of harbours of re fuge (as suggested by a select cothmittee of the House of Commons appointed to inquire into the best sites) by the formation of harbours oa the north-east coast, the scene of so much loss of life and property. The deputation consisted of Mr. J. Cowen, of the Tyne Commission, Mr. R. W. Jack son, of West Hartlepool, and 1)r. Cortes, of Filey, accompanied by the following gentlemen—Lord Hotham, M.P., Lord Stanley, M.P., Major-General Sir Frederick Smith, M.P., Rear-Admiral the Hon. A. Buncombe, M.P., the Hon. H. G. Liddell, M.P., Lord Adolphus V. Tempest, ALP., the lion. W. C. Fitzwilliam, M.P., Sir M. W. Ridley, M.P., Mr. Titus Salt., M.P., Mr. G. S. Beecroft, M.P., Mr. J. Somes, M.P., Mr. J.

Hodgson and Stevenson, of the River Tyne Commissioners • l‘ir. J. Williamson, Mayor of South ShieMs ; Air. J. Clayton, Clerk to the Tyne Improvement Commissioners ; and Mr. J. Guthrie, Secretary. Sir F. SMITH, in introducing the deputation, said the great national work of providing harbours of refuge had already occupied the attention of a Select Committee of the House of Commons and a Royal Commission appointed to inquire into the best sites, of both of which he had been a member. They did not appear before his lordship with a view of press ing the subject upon her Majesty's Government with regard to any particular local interest, but to deal with it as of national importance. The select committee, in their report upon the subject to the House of Commons, expressed an opinion that, con sidering what constituted the chief source of the commercial greatness and of the political security of the country, and considering the enormous loss of both life and property to which the nation was at present exposed from the dan gerous and unprotected state of their coasts, and the consequent defective character of their navi gation, there was no object for which public money could be more usefully or more profitably employed, having regard to the present and future welfare of the nation. Mr. COWEN, of the Tyne Improvement Commis sion, then addressed his lordship, and noticed the emphatic expression of the Royal Commissioners with regard to the pressing necessity and practi• cability of the formation of the proposed harbours on the north-east coast. Mr. W. JACKSON, of Hartlepool, stated that within the 100 miles of coast in question one-fourth of the 800 lives known to be wrecked on the whole coast of the country were lost, besides the lives of which ne record was kept. Dr. CORTIS, of Filey, dwelt upon the important character of the coal trade which passed along the north-east coast, and the terrible loss of property and lives which was constantly occurring through the want of h:rbours accessible in storms, Lord PALMERSTON having asked several ques tions of different members of the deputation, said the whole subject was one of very great import ance, and he would lay what had been addressed to him before her Majesty's Government. He was indebted to the deputation for the information they had given him, and he could assure them that the matter would have their serious consideration. The deputation then withdrew. THE PAPAL STATES. The following is the address, already referred to, to the Emperor Napoleon 111. from the Roman pro vinces still subject to the Papal authority :-- Sire,—At this grave and solemn moment, when entire Europe is about to decide the future desti nies of Italy, permit those who have devoted their whole lives to the emancipation of their dear and unfortunate country, and who have been calird upon more than once to represent it, to discharge a duty of good citizens by expressing to you their sentiments and legitimate wishes. Among the claims to glory of your reign, the one which will create most gratitude in posterity, the one that will form the pride of the present generation, will be the reconstruction of Italy into a nation. This mag nanimous work, commenced by your bravery and patriotism, is about to be completed by your wis dom. But Italy has not La Cattolica and the Thrasymeno for her frontiers ; beyond these lines to the kingdom of Naples (on which it is not our pro vince to speak at this moment), between the Tronto on one side, and the Terra di Lavoro on the other, a territory lies, which was once famous, which con tains numerous towns, an intelligent and robust population, generous souls, minds truly Italian. It would be superfluous to recall its ancient glories. Rome is a name before which all nations bow. Contemporaneous history does not prove this people to have degenerated or to bo less worthy than any other of civil and just laws, of an equitable liberty, of an honest and enlightened government. Its na tional inspirations, its patriotic desires, its strength for realising them, are proved by the memorable annals of 1831 and 1848, by the valiant men that hastened to the plains of Lombardy, to Venice, and Vicenza, by the blood shed under the walls of Rome, by the martyrs that fell under the axe of tho Aus trians and the Pontifical authorities. The world knows under what oppression this unhappy people have since groaned for so many years. It would be superfluous to repeat it to your Majesty, who has more than once raised your voice in their favour. Our brothers of the Itotnagna, more fortunate than ourselves, have on their part been able to make themselves heard. And yet we have never been treated with greater humanity, we have never had bitter laws, and we have no fewer rights to de mand than they. The vices inseparable from a system that the whole of Europe condemns have naturally produced amongst us the same deplorable effects as amongst our brothers of the other pro vinces. Let any one visit the towns and rural districts, let him number the men, the workshops, trees, houses, soldiers, ships, railways—he will see what a destructive blast has passed over these wretched countries, no responsibility on the part of those who govern, no publicity in the administra tion, no guarantee for justice, the canon law placed above the civil law. Such are the inevitable con sequences of a Government whose chief is a prince fettered by religious obligations, and who, by de claring himself infallible, escapes all control, all re sponsi) l'ity. This system was able to maintain itself and cause itself to be tolerated when the administrative organisation was simpler, the interference by the State ix public affairs far less, when the light of civilisation was not sufficiently diffused amongst all classes. Now that public business has increased and become complicated, when each branch of the administration requires special and eminent men, it becomes more and more dangerous and injurious to select them from a privileged caste. Now that every one knows his own wishes and feels more vividly the dignity of man, men feel themselves less and less inclined to bend their heads before arbitrary and despotic rule. It is therefore clearly to be seen, sire, what the efficacious remedy for so many evils can alone be. We have suffered with the Romagna; justice demands that we should benefit by the same destinies. Whatever the future reorganisation of Italy may be, justice requires that, being ourselves members of the great Italian family, we should be entirely identified with it. The mere modification of a worn-out form of rule, un- Found from its very base, would be only a vain and barren act ; it would only set aside for a moment the dangers that threaten us, it would not supp ress them. A government may err through its n ature, principles, e, principles, or members.

This, sire, is the expression of our wishes. Knowing the feeling that animates you, we are per suaded that you will graciously and benevolently receive them, and ensure their fulfilment.

The Independance Belga publishes the following, which it states to be a letter addressed by Pope Pius IX. to the Emperor of the French. The letter, it says, was originally in Italian. We lay it before our readers, leaving the responsi`i.ility to our Bel gian contemporary : " Sire,—l have received the letter which your lajesty had the kindness to write to me, and I reply to it without reserve—as the saying is, with open heart. And, imprimis, Ido not disavow the diffi cult position of your Majesty, which you yourself do nut conceal from me, and which I behold in its full gravity. Your Majesty might get out of that position by some decisive measure, which, perhaps, excites your repugnance, it is precisely because you find yourself in that position that you advise me again, for the sake of the peace of Europe, to relinquish the insurgent provinces, assuring me that the Powers will guarantee to the Pope those that remain to him. " A project of this nature offers insurmountable difficulties, and to be convinced of them it will suf fice to reflect upon my situation, on my sacred cha racter, and upon the rights of the Holy Sec—rights which are not those of a dynasty, but of all Catho- lies. The difficulties aro insurmountable, because I cannot concede that which does not belong to me, and because I see clearly that the victory which it is intended to give to the revolutionists of the Le gations will serve as a pretext and as an encourage ment to domestic and foreign revolutionists of the other provinces to play the same game on beholding the success of the first ; and when I say the revolu tionists I mean the least considerable and the most audacious portion of the population. " The Powers, you say, will guarantee the rest ; but in the serious and extraordinary circumstances which may be foreseen, considering the immense support the inhabitants receive from without, will it be possible for those Powers to employ force in an efficacious manner ? If that be not so, your Majesty will be persuaded, like myself, that the usurpers of the property of others and the revolutionists are invincible if only dealt with by the arms of reasoning. " However this may be, however, I feel myself obliged to declare plainly to your Majesty that I cannot cede the Legations without violating the solemn oaths that bind me, without producing a disaster and a shock in the other provinces, with out doing harm to and putting to shame all Catho lics, without weakening the rights, not only of the Sovereigns of Italy unjustly despoiled of their do mains, but also of the Sovereign of the whole Christian world, who cannot behold with indiffe rence the destruction of certain principles. " Your Majesty makes the peace of the world depend upon the cession by the Pope of the Lega tions, which, for 50 years, have been a continual source of embarrassment to the Pontifical Govern ment ; but, as I promised at the beginning of this letter to speak with open heart, you will allow me to reverse the argument. 'Who can count up the revolutions that have taken place in France within the last 70 years ? But, at the same time, who is there that dares to say to the great French nation that for the peace of Europe it would be advisable to narrow the limits of the empire ? The argument proves too much ; and you will therefore allow me not to admit it. And then your Majesty is not ignorant by what persons, with what money, with what support the recent attempts at Bologna, Ra venna, and other cities have been made. Nearly the whole of the populations remained terror stricken at the movement, which it had not ex pected, and which they did not show any incli nation to follow. Let your Majesty refleet that, if I had accopted the project expressed in the letter which you sent me through M. de Men neval, the insurgent provinces would be actually under my authority. To say the truth, that letter was in opposition to the one which you had hon oured me with before commencing the Italian campaign, and in which you gave me consoling assurances without causing me affliction. ,‘ However, the letter to which you make allu- sion proposed to me, in its first part, a project inadmissible like the present one; and, as concerns the second part, I think I have adopted it, as the documents will prove which have been placed in the hands of your ambassador at Rome. " I also reflect upon that phrase of your Majesty that if I had accepted that project I should have maintained my authority over those provinces, which seems to imply that at the point we have arrived at they are irretrievably lost. Sire, I beg of you, in the name of the Church, and also in the point of view of your own interests, to make my apprehensions unjustified. Certain memoirs, said to be secret ones, inform me that the Emperor Na poleon I. left to his family useful warnings, worthy of a Christian philosopher, who, in adversity, found in religion alone resources and consolation. "It is certain that we shall all shortly have to appear before the Supreme Tribunal to render • strict account of our acts, of all our words and thoughts. Let us, then, endeavour to appear before that great tribunal of God in such guise as to be able to feel the effects of His mercy, and not those of His justice. " I speak to you, also, in my quality of father, which givos me the right of speaking the naked truth to my sons, no matter how high may be their position in this world. I thank you, nevertheless, for your benevolent expressions towards me, and for the assurance which you give me to continue that solicitude which you say you have always hitherto entertained for me. It remains only for me to pray God to shed the abundance of His blessings upon you, upon the Empress, and upon the young Prince Imperial. "PLUS IX." .‘ The Vatican, Jan. 8, 1860." AN AUSTRIAN GENERAL UPON CRINOLINE.—The following is a literal translation of an official " notification" issued by the General Commanding at Mantua :—" Certain blind intriguers, the vile instruments of a well-known fac tion, who by the infamous and reprehensible means endea vour to overturn the order established by God and by sound reason, have presumed, even in this fortress, whose command has been confided to me by his Majesty our encrust Emperor, to commit cowardly acts solemnly condemned by every edu cated citizen,—even profaning the sacred temple of God, they have disg racefully insulted the weaker sex on account of a fashion already fer some time generally adopted. I hereby call upon the respectable inhabitants of this city and fortress, who have hitherto given proofs of the most loyal sentiments, and of the wisest and most peaceable behaviour, to co-operate cordially with all their influence in preventing the repetition of these and other scandalous excesses com mitted by the above-named infamous faction, and which havo for their solo object the disturbance in this city- 7 a fortress of public order and tranquillity. And I further gtve notice that if they should again occur I will, as commandant of the place, make use of the extreme powers confided to me by adopting the severest measures for the suppression and prevention of such foolish proceedings. The citizens (of Mantua) will have to blame themselves alone, and their own lukewarmness and depravity if, through an hsu d m ehe e n e e t rg v e ita tte measures, they may suffer in th eir d earest interests.—Mantua, Jan. 30.
