11/ The Moniteur du Soir gives notice, in its "ofi-
vial part," that the government having, in exercise
of the right which it possesses by virtue of the
organic article' of the Conocedat (law of 18th
Genitalia, year 10, Art. 1), refused to authorise the
publication in France of a brief lamed at Rome on
the 17th of March last, for the introduction of the
Roman liturgy into the diocese of Lyme, any pub-
licity given to that brief will be a violation of •
law which it is the duty and the determination of
the government to enforce.
The above paragraph relates to the precise sub-
ject brought forward by IL Jules Fevre yesterday,l
for the purpose of showing the utter failure of the,
long suffering attempts made by the French govern-
ment to conciliate the court of Rome. The very
delay which has occurred before taking public and
official notice of the encroachment of Rome, and
the countenance which that encroachment receives
from a portion of the French clergy, shows that
efforts to effect an amicable settlement have been
unavailing, and gives additional importance to this
declaration of open war.
The official journal states that Baron de Beast,
the plenipotentiary of the Germanic Confederation,
now in London, will take advantage of the Iffiiitsun
holidays, during which the sittings of the Con-
'feranos will be suspended, to come to Paris for a
fiw days.

An Austrian naval division of four ships, con-
siting of a paddle corvette, bearing a rear-,
admiral's bg, a ship of the line, an iron-clad
frigate, and a gunboat, anchored in Cherbourg
Roads this morning.
The Assize Court was, if possible, more crowded
1 than ever this morning to bear the evidence of the
famous Dr. Tarclies, who for many years has been
constantly employed by the parquet to make pod
modem examinations in murder awes. At

the :sitting of the court the presiding judge
stated a fact not hitherto known, that the prisoner
has several times attempted to commit suicide in
prison : once he took verdigris, at another time he
opened a vein, and he also wounded himself in the
nose so as to produce violent hemorrhage. The
prisoner said he was driven to these see by de-
spair, but he vehemently protested his innocence.
The Bourse was a good deal better. The Bank

for cash and 20e. for account, closing at 66fr. 65c.
and 66fr. 80c. Mobider roes 18fr. 7k.

The Montgolfier balloon, the Aigle, made a first
successful ascent yesterday evening from an en-
closure near the Place de l'Europe. The material
burnt for the purposes of rarefaction was rye straw.
On passing over the Rue Scribe the balloon was
only about 50 metres above the roofs of the houses.
It, however, rapidly attained a great height, and
was soon lost out of sight in a southerly direction.
