FOREIGN NO TrR( THE CECITMENICAL COUNCIL. previous unicatiou The Animals of Austria and Paris have lately circu lated reports to the effect that the Catholic Powers wottld present an identical note to the Holy See on the inad visability of putting forward the doctrine of Infallibility ,and the doctrines of the Syllabus. The North-East Correspondent has, however, published a despatch from Vienna, which denies the assertion that the Cabinets of Paris, Vienna, and Madrid had followed the course referred to. It appears that Count Roust has sent an independent communication to the Austrian Ambassador at Rome, in which he conveys his impression that the relations between the State and the Church in Austria may be complicated by the discussion of certain questions submitted to the Council. The New Free Press declares that this note has been react to Car dinal Antonelli, but some doubt appears to exist with re gard to the authenticity of the statement.. veek, and son, chief ho atino- of require ranee , of a had been MUTUAL LOAN FUND ASSOCIATION (incorporated by Act of Parliament, 18.59), 14, RUSSELL-STREET, COVENT-GARDEN, LONDON, And 3R, QUEEN'S-ROAD, BRIGHTON N°. 24,29 7.S THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 19, 1870.

Hurst and Blackett, Publishers, 13, Great Marlborough-street. The Avusburg Gazette says that no decision has been arrived at by the King of Bavaria with respect to the address from the Chamber of Deputies. Well-informed persons believe that the King will allow the address to he sent to him, but will not consent to receive the depitta t,ion appointed to present it. The reason given for the King's refusal of the address was not that it expressed the political views of the Chamber, but that the factious word ing of the document rendered its acceptance by the Crown impossible. The hews of Prince Hohenlohe's intended retirement is confirmed, but it is now said that he alone will withdraw from the Ministry, and there will be no other change than the ap pointment of a new Foreign Minister. Who is to be his successor is still matter for speculation. The Baron Perglas is thought the most likely. He is said to be an independent, high minded man, very jealous for the autonomy of Bavaria, and equally opßosed to dependence on Berlin and on Vienna. Prince liohenlohe's known bearing towards Prussia has rendered him very unpopular with the Catholic and Patriotic party, and it remains to be seen whether these malcontents will be satisfied with the resignation of the Prime Minister alone. olect trout the 27th At 2 p..at. a News Message will be sent, containing everything of impc.rtance known at that hour.

The Nora German Gazette says that even the Hietzing courtiers now consider the situation of Europe so imper tinently peaceful that they are about to dissolve the legion they have kept ready in France. It is reported from Paris that the legionaries have been desired to choose if they will return home - or emigrate to Algiers or America, in which case their expenses will tic v al. an greater economy has also induced the Court of Hiet zing to take this step. A pamphlet which has lately ap peared, under the title of " The King's Legion," has openly confessed the fact, and recommends that the war with Prussia shall not b e carr i e d on w ith ma t er i a l weapons, but with those of the mind alone. . THE RUSSIAN RAILWAY LOAN. A French correspondent says that the new Russian loan has not been favourably received, either by the public or on the exchanges. Some persons believe that the great line of Moscow Koursk is to be sold by the Government to the Grand Society, but this is denied. The three principal railways to be constructed with the proceeds of the loan are :-1. From Smolenski to Brest-Litevski, rid Minsk, which is the most important of the proposed lines, from a commercial point of view. 2. From Mobiler to Tchernigoff, which will be chiefly useful for defensive purposes. 3. From Brest-Litevski to Berdytcheff, which is also a strategical line, and only likely to be required in case of aggressive operations against Austria. The Eastern Budget, in alluding to these projects, remarks that it is significant that this last-men tioned line, which is least important for Russian trade, will be the first constructed. THE CIGAR TRADE OF AMERICA. The cigar manufacturers and dealers of New York have held a meeting at the Astor House, to consider the expe diency of memorialising Congress with reference to the tariff. Resolutions were adopted declaring that the pre sent depressed condition of the industrial interests con nected with the cigar trade of the States was chiefly owing to the change made in the tariff on cigars, which rendered the import duty lower than was adequate to protect Ame rican interests against the capital and low-priced labour of other countries engaged in the manufacture ; and protesting against any reduction below 2 dollars 50c. per lb. on imported cigars, and 25 per cent ad valorem. A committee was appointed to prepare statistics to be submitted to the National Tobacco Association, shewing the cost of manufacturing domestic cigars, as compared to those that are imported. The object of reducing the duty was understood to be the prevention of smuggling, but it was argued by the malcontents that it would not have that effect, as there was no more smuggling now than when the duty was only 30 per cent. ad valorem. Free trade doctrines are evidently at a discount among the cigar makers of New York. THE INDIANS. A despatch was telegraphed to General Sherman by General Sheridan, containing the details of the victory of Colonel Baker over the Pigeon Indians. The expedition was a complete succes, Colonel Baker having killed 173 Pigeons, destroyed 44 lodges, with all their winter sup plies, robes, &c., and captured over 300 horses. The Bloods gave up all the horses taken from the white people which were in their possession. Most of the mur derers and marauders of last summer were killed. Pa and Mountain Chief escaped with a few followers, leaving everything but the horses they were on. , The correspondence of the Omaha Herald mentions some. further particulars of the massacre of the Buck surveying party, near the Republican River, some time ago. All the whites were killed and scalped, according to the account of Pawnee Killer, who led the fight in person.. Three Indians were killed in the fight, in which the survey- c , big party displayed great bravery. STRANGE NEWS. The Calcutta Englishman says that strange news comes , from Mozambique. A commander of one of her Majesty's ships is said to be doing some slave trading on his own' . , account. It was reported to the Governor that some . natives were missing after the vessel had visited Mozam bique, and as suspicions had been previously excited, a watch was kept. The captain declared that there were; no black men on board, but shortly afterwards two natives jumped overboard, and made for the ship of a Portuguese' Commodore. Several more natives followed, and made for ; the boat which the Commodore put off. The British vett sel then proceeded to sea. A Portuguese man-of-war . ' 4 brought the news to the Cape, b u t it requires con fi rms..., tion, as no mention is made of the name of th e velsel_of Le captain. Bank of France.
