There is Ili* news from Paris this week, save what
our leaden will find wider distinotive heads. On on•

.cinestion, Ministerial circulars, the
commercial treaty, diplomatic oorrespondence, and even
diplomatists themselves, in the contemplation of the

SARDINIA.
The King of Sardinia was warmly welcomed on his
visit to Milan, to which city the diplomatis body has

"The Minister of Justice, Signor Oslotti, is dead. He

Thirty thousand wadi have bean sent to the Com-

the iM.ment of Austrian volunteers for the military
service of Naples.
Four ambulances were lately forwarded to the army
at the frontier.
A report was current that a plot against the Emperor
of the French has been discovered.

Roan.
Another symptom of the resolution o/ the Holy See
not to stoop to the French Government is the announce-
ment, pretended to be made on good authority, that
the Pope holds in readiness a moons proprio, signed
and sealed, which realises the promises made to his
subjects by the Pope in 1849, while at Gaeta. Those
promises referred to the admission of laymen to all
offices in the States of the Church, to the introduction
of trial by jury, and to the establishment of laws pro-
tecting property and pommel liberty against arbitrary
administrative proceedings. It is, however, added, that
before this mots proprio will be promulgated the Pope
will demand from European States a guarantee of the
patrimony of St. Peter, in the whole of its territorial
extent.
Twenty-five English Catholic deputies hare presented
to the Pope a protest from the faithful "which," we
are told, " ham afforded gnat tonsolation to the Holy
Father."

An attempt to get up an address among the young men
at the Sapienza College in Rome led to an outbreak.
The students caught one of theii companions busy in
collecting signatures, and administered personal chas-
tisement. The rector arrived, and the boys surrounded
him, and would not let him go until be had produced
the address, and until it was burnt on the spot. Cardinal
ilattei arrived in the middle of the uproar, but was com-
pelled to retreat; and the students ended by shouts for
Italy as the Papal address was reduced to ashes. Volun-
teers enlisted in Austria and Bavaria continue to pour
into the States of the Church. The Archduke Maximi-
lian has sent to the Pope two thousand repot's, a bat-
tio7, and some cavalry.

SAVOY.

A monster meeting was held at Geneva on February
17, which was attended by 4,000 inhabitants from
Chablais and Fancies% and the northern skirta of
Savoy. A declaration was adopted, setting forth the
devotion of the meeting to the King of Sardinia, and
their wish to remain in union with the Sardinian Mon-
archy. If. however, a change was inevitable, they
desired to be united to Switzerland, and not to France.
