In the Commons on Monday Mr. Edwin
James called the attention of the House to the
enlistments now going on in Ireland for the
army of the Pope. Mr. Cardwell said that the
(lovernment had given fair notice of what the
law prohibited and the penalties attached to its

should be enforced whenever a case occurred in
which it was possible to institute a prosecution.

The House then went into committee of supply,
and agreed to several votes on account of the
army estimates. On Tuesday Mr. Lindsay
moved a resolution, declaring it to be the duty
of Her Majesty's Government to carry into effect
the recommendations of the Commissioners ap-
pointed in 1858 to inquire into the formation of

cut short by the arrival of the hour for adjoun;-
went. On Thursday the adjourned debate on
the motion for leave to bring in the European
Forces (India) Bill was resumed by Lord Stanley,
who opposed the Bill on the ground that the
maintenance of a local European Force in India
was inevitable, and that the dangers which had
been apprehended from its existence were
greatly exaggerated. After considerable dis-
cussion leave was given to bring in the
Bill. On the order for the third reading of the

the Bill, in order that its provisions might be
further considered. The motion was agreed to,
and the House having gone into committee on
the Bill, a hug debate arose upon the wording of
the first clause, which the Attorney-General
ultimately undertook to amend, so as to obviate
any ambiguity. The first
.clause, as it stood,
. .

was therefore 'formally negatived, d the other
clauses were agreed to.
Referring to the Conferences at Baden, the
Monitrur states that the Emperor, in these
Conferences, "explained freely to the united
sovereigns that his policy would never deviate
from the principles of right and justice, and that
all who desire the re-establishment of confidence
and the continuation of friendly international
relations, should felicitate themselves upon a
conference which consolidates the peace of
Europe." A despatch from Baden, dated Wed-
nesday last, states that the final conference be-
tween the Prince Regent and the German
Sovereigns before their departure has brought
about a decisive agreement on all questions
which refer to the relations of Germany with
foreign Powers. The French Government on

of the French frontiers, resulting from the an-
nexation of Savoy and Nice to France.
Accounts from Naples states that the Com-

Emperor of the French, having renounced his
