PARIS, WIDNIIBDAT ETWIO.

M. de Persigny's short circular to the prefects on
the occasion of M. Drouyn de Lhuya' appointment
is made known to the French public by the lade-
' pendance Belge, and is the principal theme of com-
ment in this evening's papers. The France, in one
of M. do la Gueronniere's antithetical sentences,
always devoid of meaning, says that the circular
shows "that there is no change in the Emperor's
policy, but that the direction of his policy is pro-
foundly modified!' With the true impulse of the
"journal of hesitation" it goes on to say that whereas
M Thouvenel, with a view to conciliation, press: d
hard upon Rome, M. Drouyn de Lhuys, with the
same conciliatory purpoee,ia now pressing hard upon
Turin. It draws the conclusion conformable to the
policy of Omphale which it is feared Hercules has
given way to, that Rome will be preserved for the
Pope. The Nationalitis of Turin professes to know
that the new proposals of the French foreign
minister are : a temporal administration of the
pontifical provinces by municipal bodies ; Rome to
be a neutral city, but the residence of an Italian
governor, and, at the same time, of the Pope, re-
lieved from all the cares of temporal power ; s
suitable revenue for the Pope and the Sacred Col-
lege ; and, moreover, another condition, which the
Nation alifes does not yet know with sufficient cer-
tainty to mention. The Opinion Nationale says
of this scheme that perhaps it is not authentic,
but that in any case it must signally fail. The Pope
would be deprived of his sovereignty, although pro-
bably retaining a nominal royal title ; the Italian
governor would have nothing to govern, because
the administration of Rome and the papal towns
would be vested in the municipalities ; Rome
would be, more than ever, the centre of intrigues.
In short, to combat the scheme is to fight with
windmill&

The Pays says, in contradiction to the Prance of
last night, that hitherto the French government
has always called upon Rome in the first instance
for an answer to its conciliatory propositions, and,
therefore, the assertion of a simultaneous refusal
having come from Turin, in answer to M. Thouve-
nel's last overture, is untrue.
The France admits that the telegram from Turin
analysing an article in the MO/13TVIIia Nazionale of
the 4th betrays a very critical situation of Rattazzi's
ministry.

M. Drouyn de Lhuys' new despatch will probably
not be made public till the opening of the Italian
parliament.
Colonel Feder, an aide-de-camp of Bing Otbo of
Greet*, has arrived in Paris with a protest againbt
his master's dethronement, and is goiug on to

London.
M. Rouland, the Minister of Public Instruction,
yesterday Maned a very sensible decree, abolishing
the absurd custom of examining candidates for the
degree of doctor of medicine in the Latin language.
It is not absurd, but on the contrary desirable,
that medical students should learn as much Latin
as reasonably possible ; but the great folly was
that they were compelled to answer in a dead lan-
guage, with which, at best, they were imperfectly
acquainted, questions on the art which they pro-
posed to practice at the risk of the lives of their
fellow creatures. The test of such an examination
should evidently depend upon substantial know-
ledge, unfettered by the difficulties of an arbitrary
medium of expression. Henceforth, and only from
Nov. 4, 1862, downwards, Molikre's Latin medical
examinations will be read as satires of things of the
past.

A further considerable fall has occurred at the
Bourse. The Rents declined 10c. for cash and 30c.
for account, closing at 70fr. 60c. and 70fr. 66c. In
other securities there was little change. Some of
the railways were a trifle better.
Au article in the Sport, of which the late Mr.
Dillon was one of the principal contributors, is thus
commented upon by the Figaro :
The Sport lives in the atmosphere of the Jockey Club, of
which it is the officious, not to say the official organ. That
is evidently the explanation of its recent article (signed E.
