The following letter, addressed by Lord Plun kett, Bishop of Tuam, to Lord Cowley, British Am ' bassador in Paris, is published in the Journal des Debats. It is dated " Episcopal Palace, March 12:" My Lord,—l learn that an advertisement has appeared in some of the Paris papers to which it is fit to call the at tention of your Excellency, as Ambassador in France of this kingdom. According to the terms of this advertisement, it appears that the Bishop of Orleans proposed to preach a charity sermon at St. Roche for the purpose of accusing me in that church of having, as a landed proprietor, expelled from my farms a crowd of Roman Catholics for the sole reason of their having refused to send their children to' Protestant schools, and in consequence of this presumed act of perse cution he has, it is added, the intention to tell truths to Protestant England. PRICE 4D . STAMPED, SD. date. We hope that this mandate will be maintained to us, that we may achieve our object, and that the holy and dis interested mission which we have accepted may be fulfilled. In China, our soldiers, united to those of Great Britain, have thrown a new lustre upon our arms. Like the ancient phalanxes, they have struck a mortal blow upon the most vast and most populous of empires. May,France and England, equally honest in their in tentions, always thus advance side by side in the defence of just causes and in the triumph of civilisation. Sire, the national and traditional interest which we bear towards the destinies of Italy has increased by the ener getic and glorious efforts which you have made at the head of our armies in favour of her deliverance. The Legislative Corps, joining in the respect you have shown for the wishes of the Italian people, approves the prudent reserve which France has maintained on the ground of treaties, international laws, and justice, and which, without lessening your sympathies for nations that redeem themselves, has not allowed you to associate your policy with acts which you condemn. Sire, diplomatic documents, and the last sending of troops to Rome on a critical occasion, have proved to the whole world that your constant efforts have assured to the Papacy its safety and independence, and have saved its temporal power, insomuch as the force of circumstances and wise advice have allowed it. xcellency as to this re malrtkias m ble y fal du se ty ho to od e , n an lig d ht to en yrepolure the fact s i n t h eir simple ac accuracy, During the course of 1860 I was forced to dispossess 12 tenants on my lands—some for having participated openly in public. acts of illegality, some for flagrant violation of the conditions on which they held their lands, others for having settled OR my property without any right whatever. To permit the association of these individuals among the peaceful occupants of my property would be to inoculate it with disturbance, disorder, and litigation. Towards my neighbours I was responsible for their misconduct ; but to pretend that I ever sent away a tenant for having refused to tend his children to the established school is a pure calumny. Two incontestable facts, susceptible, if necessary, of judi cial verification, are sufficient to overthrow this edifice of falsehood. Among these twelve tenants there was not when the Irish tribunal ordered them to quit one child of age to frequent a school, while the great majority of my tenants, who are Roman Catholics, hate notoriously the right to choose the school which suits them and to use it freely, the refusal to make use of the schools under my patronage having never experienced on my part any oppo sition whatever. _ Thus acting, your Majesty has faithfully fulfilled the duties of the Eldest Solt bf the Church, and you have re sponded to the religiows sentiments as well as to the politi cal traditions of France; In this grave question the Legislative Body trusts entirely to your wisdom, fully convinced that in the eventualities of the future your Majesty will always be inspired with the same principles and with the same sentiments, without being discouraged by acts of injustice which are a source of regret to us. As to the "severe season of November," during which the dislodging of my tenantslook place, this circumstance, which is made use of to raise loud cries, is not to be imputed to me, inasmuch as it was their own choice. The decree of the Court—delivered after a long trial, in which all the re sources of chicanery were adopted—would have authorised me to execute the law eight months before November ; and, though I indulged the tenants by giving them the autumn crops, not wishing to drive them off the lands in the pre ceding spring, as I had a right to do, my sufferance can by no means justify invective and disparagement. I apprise your Excellency of my intention to publish this letter in the newspapers.—l have the honour to be, &c., Sire, it is nearly 10 years since France has entrusted her destiny to you, and neither obstacles nor struggles have di°':oncerted your prudence nor lamed your courage. Pro vidence has thrown her shield over you, and the country its acclamations. Continue, Sire, in this prudent and resolute policy, liberal and firm, which, under a strong power, shields lasting liberty, and the only aim of which is the splendour and honour of the French name. Your son, under the shade of the labour and virtues Which surround him, will grow up strong in your example; he will have learnt how one day to govern worthily a great nation, mistress of her own destinies, too just to be feared, too honest to be suspected, too strong to be intimidated or led astray. PLUNKETT, Bishop of Tuam, Peer of Ireland. The Emperor replied as follows : Messieurs lee Deputes,—l thank the Chamber for the sentiments which it expresses towards me, and for the con fidence which it places in me. If that confidence honours me and flatters me, I think I deserve it from my constant solicitude of only looking upon questions in a point pf view of the real interests of France. To live up to the age, to preserve of the past all that is good, to prepare the future by sweeping off the path of civi lisation all the prejudices which obstruct it, or utopias which compromise it--that is how we shall bequeath calm and prosperous days to our children. Despite the vivacity of the discussion, I by no means regret to see the great bodies of the State discuss the diffi cult question of foreign policy. The country benefits from it in many respects. These discussions instruct it without alarming it. SPORTING 12V TELLIGENCE. CHELTENHAM RACES. —SATURDAY. The Cleeve Plate (handicap), of 3 soya each, with 20 sova added. Two miles and a half.

The Monmouthshire and Doubtful next, the rest in a body. After turning and crossing the ploughed land Medora took a long lead. In the seeds the Monmouthshire and the Freshman went up to her, Doubtful having the fourth place. Medora was first over the brook, the rest following in close order. They cantered past the stand, and then the Mon mouthshire took up the running; the three next at the turn being Medora ,D oubtful, and Jerusalem. Cloughbally refused the fence at the end of the winning field and did not leave it. The Monmouthshire continued his lead until they were over the lane, when the Freshman passed him, and Ace of Hearts and Jerusalem drew forward, Medora, the Mon mouthshire, Doubtful, and Ace of Hearts lying close to gether, Deception in the extreme rear. In the bend for home the Freshman had a clear lead, with Doubtful, Jeru salem, and Medora in his wake. The Monmouthshire fell beaten at the last fence but two ; Deception having been out of the race for some time. Tnto the winning field the Freshman landed first and Jerusalem second ; about six lengths from them came Medora and Doubtful, the other being nowhere. The Freshman won easily by three lengths, and Doubtful, a neck in advance of Medora, was a bad third. Penarth was struck out at 10'50 a.m. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The following extracts from a letter I have this day received from Colonel Gowen, the American gentleman engaged in raisingthe sunken fleet at Sebastopol, will doubtless be read with interest by many of your readers. I am, sir, your obedient servant, J. ALFRED LOCKWOOD, F.R.G.S. March 22. Sebastopol, March 1. . . My enterprise in clearing the harbour from the sunken fleet is progressing quite favour ably, and I hope to have it entirely completed during the present year. The harbour is now prac tically clear of all obstructions, only eight vessels being left to raise whole. It is exceedingly difficult to pass chains under the keels of the line-of-battle ships, which are im bedded in the soft mud to the depth of 26 feet; but by perseverance we succeed in mining under. We have had a very severe winter, the cold hav ing been more intense than in the memory of " the oldest inhabitant." Since I last wrote to you I have constructed, at my own expense, five new stone enclosures around the English cemeteries that were in the worst con dition, and I am now engaged in constructing a durable stone enclosure around the graves where the officers of the gallant 44th sleep, which you will remember is on Third Division-hill. The enclo sures that I construct are quite durable, and will last many years. They are five feet high, a yard thick at the base, tapering to half a yard, with the coping rounded and cemented to prevent the rain penetrating the masonry, which is laid in mortar. There are quite a number of cemeteries that re quire repair, and I shall give those that are in the worst condition my early attention, although it is hardly possible for me to repair all. I can hardly afford it. It is to be regretted that Mr. Murray (the Consul at Odessa) should have appointed a person as guardian of the cemeteries who can neither speak nor read any language but Russian. English travellers have often remarked that they could not conceive why an Englishman had not been ap pointed as guardian, for there are several in my employment, as well as others in various parts of the Crimea, who would have taken a just pride in watching over the last rest ing places of their fallen countrymen. The present guardian receives a salary . of £lOO a year for a position which is entirely a sinecure, for I do not believe he is aware of the position of a dozen of the seventy-two English cemeteries around Sebas topol. I usually visit them daily, and I have never yet even seen this gentleman, although I believe he has been here nearly a year. Would it not have been more advisable to use the fund thus uselessly expended in repairing and putting in order some of the worst of the enclosures ? The Selling Steeplechase, of 5 soya each, with 30 added ; optional weights and allowances. Th ree m il es. _ _ Mr. Pitt's Haphazard (£3O), lOst (Jarvis) 1 Captain Coates's Linkboy (MO), last.... (Mr. Edwards) 2 Mr. Smith's Beautiful Star (£3O), lOst (Enoch) 0 Betting-2 to lon Linkboy, sto 2 agst Haphazard, and 5 to 1 agst Beautiful Star. Linkboy made running for about 200 yards, when Hap hazard took it and increased the pace ; at a quarter of a mile from home Linkboy tried to catch him, but failed. Haphazard won in a canter by ten lengths, and Beautiful Star was beaten off. The winner was sold to Mr. Chap man for 41 guineas. A Scurry Handicap Steeplechase of I so/ each, with £2O added. Two miles. Captain Coates's Gray Peter, 9st (Mr. W. Bevill) 1 Mr. Williams's Sunbeam, 9st 101 b . (G. Holman) 2 Captain Paynter's Shylock, 9st 21b (W. White) 3 The following also ran :—Nimrod, Comet, Volunteer, Slasher, and Wanderer. Bettirig-5 to 2 agst Slasher, 3 to 1 agst Comet, 4 to 1 agst Sunbeam, and 5 to 1 each agst Gray Peter and Shy lock. Comet, Sunbeam, and Slasher were the first three, and Gray Peter last in passing the stand on going out. Sun beam refused at the lane. Comet and Slasher were still in front when they turned over the ploughed land. Gray Peter then went through his horses, and Sunbeam made up her lost ground, and soon afterwards took a slight lead. Half a mile from home the Gray took up the running, was not again headed, and won a slashing race by a neck. Shy lock lost second place by three lengths. I have hitherto planted over 300 trees in and around the various cemeteries, and have just re ceived from the Imperial botanical gardens near Yalta 100, comprising weeping willow, weeping ash, arbor vita), and other appropriate trees ; also hardy rose bushes, which I shall plant as soon as the frost leaves the ground. Cypress trees will not grow around Sepastopol. I had previously planted several hundred, but the severe weather near and on the heights around Sebastopol destroyed them. Out of all that I planted I don't believe that half a dozen survive ; therefore I replace them by hardy trees, which, when grown, will cast their peaceful shade over the grave of those who sleep in a land of strangers so far from their homes. I found the headstone erected to the memory of G. C. IV. Curtois, lieutenant of the 63d, who was buried at Cathcart's-hill, had been broken in several pieces. It was composed of Inkerman stone, which is seriously affected by the weather. As it was impossible to repair it, I have procured a slab of porphyry, which I am having polished ; after wards I shall have it lettered and replace the old one. _ _ I had the honour of receiving a beautiful gold snuff-box from your Government a few months since, forwarded through the hands of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge,' in acknowledg ment of my services in preserving the British ceme teries at Sebastopol.' I feel highly flattered by such a mark of esteem, and I assure you that such thanks amply repay me for such slight services as I may have been enabled to render. THE MAILS. MAILS DUE.

" The Confederacy may acquire territory, and slavery shall be acknowledged and protected by Congress and the Territorial Government. " When five States shall ratify the permanent Constitution it shall be established for said States. Until ratified, the provisional Constitution shall t iontinue in force, not extending beyond one year." The Congress at Montgomery had also adopted a report of the special committee appointed to de vise a flag for the new republic. " The design," says the New York Herald, — "Is striking, and the flag has the merit of ori ginality as well as durability, The upper and lower sections, composing the 'fly' part are red, the middle section white, while a blue union, con taining seven stars in a circle, reaches from the top to the lower red. The flag possesses an heraldic significance probably not comprehended by the un initiated. The blue union signifies firmness, con stancy, faithfulness a the white, purity and peace a and red is emblematic of war. pith the seven stars in the blue this flag can be read as follows :—'Blue —Seven States have entered into a covenant of good faith. White—To promote the general wel fare in time of peace. Red—To provide a common defence in times of war. To assist the reader to interpret the flag more fully, we would state that in engraving heraldic devices it is rulable to make the portions delineating blue in horizontal lines, and rec : in perpendicular ones." The foilDwing is from the New J'ork . herald of the 11th : " Advices from the South inform us that the Confederacy is making rapid strides towards form ing a substantial and permanent Government. A letter from a member of President Davis's Cabinet to a friend in Washington, says that in less than a month they will be in the full tide of success ; that they have inaugurated an elaborate war policy, and before the Ist of April will have an army of 50,000 troops in the field, commanded by experienced officers. As to the question of money, he says that a plan has been matured which will produce ample revenue to carry on the Government even in time of war. Mr. Lincoln's inaugural was regarded as a declaration of war, and every preparation was being made to meet the emergency." It was reported, both in Brooklyn and in New York, that orders had been received at the Navy yard for the immediate equipment of two or three vessels for sea. Several appointments had been sent to the Senate by the President, among the latest of which were those of Mr. Cassius M. Clay, of Kentucky, as Minister to Spain ; Mr. Thomas Corwin, of Ohio, Minister to Mexico; Mr. T. C. Littlejohn, present Speaker of the New York State Assembly, as Con sulat, Liverpool ; and Mr. W. H. Vesey, as Con sulat, Aix-la-Chapelle. The New York appoint ments were believed to have been nearly all deter mined upon, and include Hiram Barney for the Collectorship, James Watson Webb for Naval Offi cer, Abram Wakeman for Surveyor of the Port, Joseph Hoxie for Postmaster, and General Nye for United States' Marshal. The New Hampshire election, for State officers and Congressmen, took place on the 12th, and re sulted in the complete triumph of the Republicans. Returns were received from 102 towns, which in dicated that their majority in the State would be from 3,500 to . 4,000. All the Republican candi dates for Congress were elected, four of the five councillors, eight or niie of the twelve State Senators, and an overwhelming majority of the State Representativeo. From Texas It is stated that on the 4th inst. the Convention declared that State out of the Union, and Governor Houston issued a proclamation to that effect. Vessels sent by the Federal Govern ment to Texas are not to be seized. Governor Houston, it was stated, would neither take the oath of allegiance to the State nor resign. The returns of the election were incomplete, but, as far .as ascertained, they showed a heavy majority in favour of secession. Much of the Government pro perty seized by the State authorities had been carried off by various parties. The troops were without adequate supplies. Captain Hill was still at Fort Brown, and a collision was anticipated. Later advices, received at New Orleans, state that the steamer Daniel Webster had arrived outside the harbour of Brazos, and was waiting to trans port the Federal troops to New York. The Brazos collector had resigned and resumed his duties under the patronage of the State of Texas. In the Missouri Convention on the 9th the Com mittee on Federal Relations presented its report, setting forth the relative position of Missouri and the evils of which the South complains, without threatening either the North or the South, pointing out what are deemed the errors of both sections, and concluding with a series of resolutions declaring for the Union, urging the adoption of the Crittenden Compromise, favouring a Convention to propose amendments to the United States' Constitution, deprecating all action by the Federal Government or seceded States calculated to bring on a conflict, and providing for the re-assembling of the Conven tion of Jefferson City on the third Monday in De cember, or earlier if necessary, On the 11th a com mittee was appointed' to investigate the truth of the statement contained in the. Missouri Republican, that a secret conspiracy existed to force Missouri out of the Union. A minority report on fede ral affairs was presented, opposing a National Convention, and proposing a Convention of the Border States to be held at Nashville ; it recom mended the Crittenden Compromise, and advised the appointment of commissioners to the Border States to secure their co-operation in the movement. The majority report was debited, but no action had been taken when the Convention adjourned. Four reports from the Committee on Federal Re lations in the Virginia Convention were submitted on the 9th. The majority report recommended in i part a conference of the Border States, and opposed coercion. One minority report gave a list of the demands of the South, and requested the States to give answer by October next, and meantime pre serve the peace. Another recommended the passage of an Act of Secession, and the last declared that the Government must immediately give the South ern people a full constitutional assurance of their safety in the Union, and was in favour of the ap pointment of commissioners to proceed to Mont gomery. On the 11th the Convention voted thanks to Senator Crittenden for his efforts in behalf of the Union. Further minority reports were presented, favouring the propositions of the Peace Conference, and recommending a Conven tion of the Border States. The Convention was engaged most of the day on the 12th in listening to a speech by Mr. Summers, advocating the adoption of the propositions adopted by the Peace Confer ence as a basis for the settlement of the' national difficulties. He was fully confident that the Union would eventually be restored. Ex-President Tyler was to speak next day in opposition to the course advocate.d by Mr. Summers. A despatch from Washington says that Secretary Cameron was understood to favour the policy of collecting the revenues outside the ports after Secretary Chase shall have drawn requisitions upon the officers of the seceding States, and they have refused to comply. As the Southern Confederacy have no navy to attack vessels laying outside their ports, the revenue, in his opinion, can thus be col lected, and the rebellious States reduced to alle giance by actual necessity consequent upon trade. badly. Other and ruca.7;;;;77:.:77;:777Z:ndit larger cash aid from the creditors than was first asked for, to prevent an actual stoppage of payments. Such embar rassments were not confined to the trade of any par ticular section of the country, though the heaviest difficul ties were, perhaps, encountered in the absence of the usual Southern sales and collections at this season of the year. The demand for foreign exchange by this mail was light, and bankers' 60-day sterling bills were sold at 104 to 106, and prime commercial bills at 1051 to 105 k. On Paris, 5.40 to 5.311 ; Bremen, 751 to 761 ; Hamburg, 351 to 35/ ; and Amsterdam, 391 to 401. The demand for cotton was more active at full prices, with sales of 4,000 bales on a basis of 111 c. to 12c., mostly for 114 c. to llic. for middling uplands. The inquiry for flour was brisker, but prices were a trifle lower. Wheat was held with more firmness, but was less active, as was also sound corn. NEW ORLEANS, MARCH 12. Cotton firm; sales to-day 8,500 ba es; middling, llic. to 12c.; sales of three days, 25,500 bales; receipts same time 13,500 bales, against 37,00 G bales same time last year ; re ceipts less than last year, 251,500 bales ; ditto at all Southern ports, 684,000 bales.

AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, MARCH 24. The steamship Adriatic, Capt. Jefferson Maury, which landed mails at Queenstown yesterday morn ing, arrived here early this morning. She brings 53 passengers for this port and 22 for Havre, but has neither specie nor' cargo. The Adriatic left her dock at New York at 8 a.m, on the 13th inst., but was detained by fog until 6 p.m. ; arrived at Queens town at 3 a.m. on the 23d, and, having landed mails (which would in due . course have come by the Australian) left again at 6 a.m., arriving off Cowes at 6.30 a.m. to•day, and came cm immediately to Southampton. Moderate weather was experienced during the passage. The Adriatic will be docked and surveyed here previous to taking her place on the Galway line, having been purchased, 'la already stated, by the Atlantic Royal Mail Company. The steamers City of Manchester and Niagara, from Liverpool, arrived out on the 11th, the former, at New York and the latter at Boston. It appears by the latest advices from Washington that very little doubt was entertained that Fort Sumter would be evacuated, and the impression was general that the Cabinet had decided to issue an order to that effect. A despatch of the 12th says: "It is generally conceded among military men here of longest experience that Fort Sumter cannot be reinforced without great loss of life and the ex penditure of millions of money. In this opinion General Scott and Secretary Cameron fully concur. It is understood that the President and Secretary Chase have been strongly opposed to abandoning the post, and they are constantly receiving remon strances from Northern Radicals against the evacu ation. Some of these even go so far as to threaten political retribution and the destruction of the party. Several letters and papers with marked articles upon the subject have been received by the President and Cabinet. All this, however, will have no effect upon the settled policy of the Administra tion, which I have the strongest reasons for believ ing is to avoid any collision at Charleston. Forts Pickens and M'Rea will not be disturbed, however, at present, as it is deemed necessary to have forces along the coast in case of an emergency. Rumours about the evacuation of Fort Sumter are at least premature. No such orders have yet been given, but nearly all consider it inevitable." Another despatch of the same date announces the refusal of the Administration to receive the Southern Commissioners : " Washington, March 12. " Yesterday Mr. Seward informed the Southern Commissioners that he would see and confer with them, and was glad of the opportunity, and that he would inform them this morning of the time and place of interview. This morning he addressed to them a briefly written communication, stating that, upon reflection, and for political considerations, he must decline to see them. It appears that in the meantime he had conferred with the Cabi net on the subject, and that they had changed their policy. The Commissioners will now address an official and formal communication to Secretary Seward, setting forth the character and purpose of their mission. It is believed that this change of policy on the part of Mr. Lincoln, in declining to receive them, grows out of the fact that he has got to abandon Fort Sumter, and that is as much as, and more than, the Republican party can stand at once. If the Administration abandon Fort Sumter, it by no means follows that they in tend to abandon the public property within the limits of the Confederate States. They will pursue a policy towards them that will lead to complica tions and difficulties innumerable." A despatch of the 12th inst., from Montgomery, gives the following synopsis of the permanent Con stitution adopted by the Congress of the Confede rate States of America for the fundamental law of the seceded States : " No person who is foreign and not a citizen of the Confederate States is allowed to vote for any officer, civil or political, State or Federal. " Under the first census, South Carolina is en titled to five representatives in Congress ; Georgia, 10 ; Alabama, 9 ; Florida, 2 ; Mississippi, 7 ; Lousi siana, 6 ; Texas, 6 ; and each State to two senators. " The State Legislatures may impeach judicial or Federal officers resident and active in said States by a two-thirds vote. " Both Houses of Congress may grant seats on the , floor to either of the principal officers of each Executive department, with the privilege of dis cussing measures of his department.

In the New York money-market 6 per cent. per annum was generally accepted at call, on prime stock, collateral, and 6 to 7 per cent, on strictly first. class discounts, as in date, the shortest bills being taken at the inside figure, and 7 per cent, on lists of three to six months double name paper. The classification continued very strict, and a large amount of what would in ordinary seasons be esteemed fair and unquestioned paper was rendered unsaleable, except at high rates—say 10 to 15 per cent., by the nume rous difficulties of the past winter, and which were not yet over, in the jobbing trade. Some of the early failures and extensions of the season were said to be turning out very TILE _FRENCH CRAMILERS. The speech of M. Jules Favre in the Corps Legis latif on Thursday Was one of the most brilliant die. plays ever made in that Chamber since the establish• ment of the empire. His friends regard it as a perfect model of parliamentary eloquence. Speak ing:of the Pope's restoration to the Papal throne after the overthrow of the Roman Republic by the French army under the command of the Marquis d'Oudinot, he said,— Pius IX., re-established on his throne, forgot that he was Pope, and only recollected he was a Sovereign. If he had not thenforgotten his encyclical he would not have consented to return to Rome by causing bloodshed among the people. The victory gained, those who led on the President of the Republic to adopt that violent extremity against the design of the Assembly raised shouts of triumph. But see how the Almighty sports with men, the infatuated instruments of their own passions. It was believed that the temporal sove reignty of the Papacy had been destroyed. It was for ever destroyed ; for the day on which Pius IX. re-entered Rome, thanks to foreign bayonets, he ceased to be a sovereign. Authority can have no other basis but confidence, affection, or fear. Woe to the government founded on the latter I Brought back by our arms, could the Pope recover the heart of his people ? He is merely maintained by the sword of France ; withdraw it, and his throne will fall to pieces. According as this sad experiment was prolonged, the Pope was able to acquire the certainty that he was nothing, ex cept by the support of those who had brought him back, and who were maintaining him in his States. The temporal sovereignty was merely nominal. It had been buried in the victorious folds of our flag. What have we done ? The Holy See refuses us its gratitude ; and it is right. Europe is per haps rejoicing at our present embarrassment. France has assumed the heairiest of responsibilities in bringing back to Italy a form of government which ours has frequently con demned, together with all Europe, including even Austria. M. Favre then passed a high eulogium on Victor Emmanuel. Speaking of Garibaldi's success he said : It was not the material force of Garibaldi which over , threw the Neapolitan Government. That monarchy fell under contempt and unpopularity ; for—and it is a fact unique in history—Garibaldi, after all his triumphs, pre sented himself at the gates of Naples, not as a dictator, but as a tourist—(laughter)—and accompanied by only five Mends. It was sufficient for him, in order to establish his authority, to open the heart of Italy, and to inspire it with the hope of nationality. M. Favre then asked leave to address some words of severe reproach to the Government for an act which had afflicted all France, France, continued M. Favre,— Had said to Rome, " Endeavour to defend yourself and to organise your army." That, in order to accomplish that object the Pontifical Government should seek on every side for mercenary soldiers ; that it followed in doing so the very worst traditions of the Middle Ages, did not regard France. FranCe was interested in letting her do so, but Rome asked to be authorised to intrust that army to a French general, to be authorised to increase its army with men levied on our territory, and France authorised it. Why? There is, nevertheless, a penalty imposed by the Code against any body who quits the country to serve a foreign Power. M. Farre concluded by calling on the Chamber not to act but by its vote to cause the cessation of an action which is an oppression on the Italian national will. THE ADDRESS OF THE LEGISLATIVE BODY AND THE EMPEROR'S REPLY. At 2 o'clock on Saturday the Emperor re ceived in the Throne Room the deputation of the Legisla tive Corps, with the Address in reply to his Ma jesty's Speech. The Deputation was headed by the President and the Bureau. The Emperor, seated on the throne, had on his right and left :—Prince Napoleon, Prince Lucien Murat, and Prince Jeronle Murat. All the high dignitaries of the Court were present. The President of the Legislative Corps read; the following Address : Sire,—The Legislative Corps could not use for the first time the new and important prerogatives due to the initia tive of your Majesty, without applauding the liberal and provident idea which inspired them, and showing itself proud and grateful for the confidence of which they are the proof. These concessions (libertes) develope the principles •f the Constitution, appropriating in a wise progressive manner its mechanism and action in the present state of society. This Constitution, founded in presence of difficulties which it had to surmount and of the work of pacification it had to produce, has prepared and rendered possible the de velopments which it receives. We accept, with the resolu tion to turn it to the general benefit, the largest margin it gives to our labours and to our responsibility. Witness of our loyal efforts to make known the truth to the country, as well as to yourself, public opinion will the more readily sanction our decisions, and give additional strength to our devotion to your person and to your dynasty; for nothing can be added to our popularity which is not allied to your Power. In asking us to give an honest statement of our opinions and sentiments, your Majesty facilitates the task by a gene ral and annual sketch of the affairs of the country. The state of France shows us order everywhere main tained, the laws obeyed, religion respected, art and litera ture encouraged, instruction spread, the population loyal and confident, and it is right to add that these benefits, the work of your wisdom and the fruits of your reign, have in stalled quiet and a feeling of security in the public mind, instead of anxiety and civil discord. Sire, the Legislative Corps approves and shares your noble solicitude for the interests of agriculture, of industry, and of commerce, which are at the same time the field where national activity and public prosperity find their de velopment. We have willingly associated ourselves to measures the object of which was to improve agriculture Sire,—We learn with satisfaction that the budget will be presented to us, balanced so that it will not be necessary to have recourse to credit and new taxes. The resources of France are inexhaustible, like her acti vity and her energy; but your policy, a careful guardian of our finances, will make sure of reserves for the eventu alities of the future ; and we hope that circumstances will not occur sufficiently imperious for credits extraordinary and supplementary to modify in a visible manner the pro visions of the budget. For the maintenance and consolidation of everything, Sire, one superior and necessary condition is Peace. Your Majesty has been the faithful interpreter of the unanimous and profound sentiment of France by proclaim ing that your sincere desire is peace. Under your reign, Sire, France can neither be provoking nor timid. This position does not hamper the action of the country in any questions where her power and dignity are con cerned. We hope that the new organisation of Algeria will re spond to the security and wants of the colony. In Savoy and in the county of Nice you have pacifically, and in virtue of a treaty sanctioned by the popular will, restored to the Empire provinces which had long been friendly, and are now irrevocably French. In this circumstance you obeyed the necessities of terri torial defence, the natural consequence of a notable aggran disement of a neighbouring State ; and your policy, as firm as it was prudent, has given satisfaction to France with out infringing upon European right. In Syria we have taken the initiative in a work of huma nity, and we accomplish it in virtue of en Luropeau man- BETTING AT MANCHESTER-SATURDAY. There was rather more business done to-day than yes terday, but nothing of an important character transpired. Spanish Fly would have been supported at 8 to 1, aid Spicebox had friends at 20 to 1 for the Spencer's Plate. For :the Northamptonshire Stakes Man-at-Arms, The Rap, King of Diamonds, and Rattlebone, were in about equal demand, and 20 to 1 was taken about Simple Simon The transactions on the City and Suburban were of a very uninteresting character, a trifle on the favourite and a few outsiders being all that was done. For the Two Thousand Guineas, 8 to 1 was asked for about Diophantus, 9 to 1 each was taken against Kettle drum and ,Sweet Hawthorn, and 10 to 1 about Matador. 20 to 1 each would have been taken agst Big Ben or Rouge Dragon, but we saw nothincr booked for the Derby except 50 to 1 agst East Stanley.-200 to 11 would have been taken agst Butterfly for the Chester Cup, and 300 to 10 was booked about Sweet Hawthorn. There is very little doing on this event.
