ithdraw the French and Austria* troops
Italy, temple of thousand aildiars of the
Ann* nattne,were to by left behind to garrison
Civita Vecchia, and keep the door of the Roman
States open in case a fresh expedition should be
called for. A similar proportion of Austrian troops
were to hold Ancona. This announcement first ap-
e in a well-informed German paper, the
Poet-titung of Frankest, and was speedily
echoed in many quarters. The most respectable
organs of the English press held forth the confident
expectation that before the end of the year the
evacuation of the States of the Church by foreign
troops would be effected, and the semi-official organs
in France echoed statements calculated to confirm that
belief. At the same time, the recruiting going on for
the Pope's army in the Jura, in Schleswig-Holstein,
and other regions peopled by warlike rues, was in-
terpreted, in conjunction with these reports, as a sign
that the Pope, however obliged still to depend upon
bayonets, would at least have the sovereign control
over the armed force necessary to keep order in his
dominions. Such were the reports adopted very ge-
nerally in the best informed circles; nor did the
Moniteur at that time deem fit to apply the decisive
shears of a communique' to these tranquillising hopes.
To-day, however, we are roused out of the delusion.
The official journal contains the following depressing
declaration :

Some foreign journals persist in announcing ma near at
hand the recall of the }rends troops now in garrison at
Rome and Civita Vecchia. This piece of news is as devoid
of foundation as the commentaries with which it is meow-

palsied, and we as ►arm that it is at Rome above all that
it will meet with the least credesee.

It is some satisfaction to know the truth; however
unwelcome. But why was it not announced before,
when such rumours were much more rife. We can
only conclude that the false impression wee en-
couraged to hide views which may now be openly
proclaimed without danger, or to conceal preparations
which were then incomplete. This is not indeed the
only indication that the politics of Europe have
taken of late a more inauspicious turn. Universal
assurances of peace are exchanged with bland pro-
digality in the diplomatic world, while the popula-
tions are shaken with instinctive apprehensions of
war. As fur the reduction of the French army, of
which General Marian spoke as having been re-
solved by the President, and the substitution of a
strong reserve, before we jump at such announce-
ments, as omens of a pacific policy, let us remember
the character of the men of the present government,
and the following words of the Prince Louis Napo-
leon's speech at Lyons:
Rumours of coups d'etat have reached you ; but you have
not believed them. I thank you. Surprises and usurpa-
tions may be the dream of parties without any support in
the nation, but the elect of six millions executes, and does
not betray, the will of the people.
We have just seen the Univers, organ of the ultra-
montane party, treat Belgium as a country already
conquered, and say, in the full persuasion of immi-
nent war : "We ought to anticipate matters, and
take advantage of the configuration of places to in-
vade and occupy Belgium. We eve the Moniker
indulging in the abuse of English institutions, and
proclaiming war against the English press. We
hear the Pays asserting that, for thirty and more
years, the governments that have succeeded one
another in France have made unheard-of efforts to
restrain " the national sentiment," that is to prevent
war, and only to reap abuse. The conclusion
is that the Pays sees no longer any use in curbing the
warlike tendency of France. All these are signs
which ought to keep us on our guard against the
possible designs of the French government.
Experiments have been made yesterday and to-
day with the the electric telegraph between Paris
and Vienna, by way of Strasburg. The closing prices
of the Vienna Boum were received in two hours, and
this notwithstanding an hour's delay at Strasburg.
We read in the l'atrie :

The g sent has now received the addresses from the
-of all the departments. Two only remain
of the Gard and the Centel. There la

no °evasion for us to remark on the admirable unacimity
with which all demand the consolidation of the liberat-
ing power of Louis Napoleon. It is felt that ?ranee has
spoken.
The councils•generals of Corsica however have not
yet assembled.
Prince Charles Louis Bonaparte, who is at this mo-
ment attending the scientific congress at Belfast, has
been unanimously elected member of the council•ge-
neral of tho Ile-Rousee, in Corsica. M. Napoleon
Bonaparte has been also elected member of the
council-general of Corsica, but he has not accepted
the office, to which he was named without his having
been consulted.

The Liberte of Arras has received a warning from
the prefect of the Pas de Calais, countersigned as
approved " by M. de Maupas, minister of police.
This is the first instance of a warning in this form.
Several of these persons who have been permitted
to return toFrance have found that they have only ex•
changed exile for more or less imprisonment in their
native country; for such are desired by the prefects
to reside in certain fixed places in the interior, from
which they cannot move without his permission.
M. Leon Faucher has been chosen president of the
council of administration of the new company to
whom the Bordeaux and Cette and Bordeaux and
Bayonne railways have been conceded.
The Univers has nearly the whole of its front page
filled with an article, the object of which is to increase
the subscription that it has opened in aid of the
funds to cover Dr. Newman in his defence against
Dr. Achilli, and which, the Niter. um has cost
10,0001. sterling, whilst the whole amount of the
subscriptions in different countries is only 3,0001.
The Usirers announces u an encouragement to per-
sons to subscribe that Dr. Newman has already begun
to pay the debt of gratitude by saying mama twice
a week for his benefactors.

Mr. Roney, and Mr. W. Keogh, M.P., bad an in-
terview yesterday with Lord Cowley on the subject
of the Great Industrial Exhibition which is ip be held
in Dublin in the month of May next yder. They
represented to his excellency how highly advanta-
geous it would be to the undertaking if a certain
quantity of the beautiful articlem for which France is
so justly celebrated could be exhibited on that occa-
sion, and requested his lordship's good Aloes in ens,
bling them to attain that result; they referred in
particular to the beautiful objects produced at the
manufactories of Sevres. the Gobelina, and Beauvais,
a few of which, they said, would prove so great an
ornament to an exhibition of works of industry and
art. Lord Cowley promised to represent their willies
in the proper quarter, and I understand that the au-
thorities have already expressed an earnest wish to
afford every poesible facility in furtherance of the
object.
The chateau, park, and estate of Chantilly, be-
longing to the Duke d'Aumale, was to be sold by
auction to-day. A good many capitalists of Paris
and the departments proposed to bid, upon the sup-
position that the property would be sold in lots. But
a report has been current this morning that the Duke
d'Aumale has sold the whole estate by private con-
tract to an English nobleman, for between 600001.
and 80,0001. I shall not know before the post leaves
whether the sale by auction has taken place or not.
The Moniteur contains the contract with Mann.
Ardouin and Co. for the construction of the crystal
palace in the Champs Elysium. All the principal
stipulations were published by anticipation in your
number of Tuesday. There are some stringent clauses
to ensure the completion of the building within two
years, at the end of which time the Petrie says the
inauguration will bo celebrated by a universal ex-
hibition, upon a new plan and upon a scale of
grandeur worthy of France.
The Prince President of the Republic, by decree of
the 28th ult., accords " letters of rehabilitation" to
M. Despans-Cebieres, formerly general of division
and minister of war, who was condemned by the
High Court of Yetis, for having been concerned in
the eel, brined bribery ease of M. Teste, minister of
public works. The (cart of Appeal of Rouen, on
Saturday, held what is called a solemn audieuce to
enregister the letters.
The President of the Republic, accompanied by
General St. Arnaud, inspected the military school of
St. Cyr on Monday. After reviewing the students,
lie p isonally distributed prizes, and decorated three
professors of the echooL
