PARIS, SoNDAT Emma.

The moat important fact announced to-day is
that M. Drouyu de Lhuys' circular on the Roman
question will appear in the Monittur to-morrow.
It is to be inferred from the Emperor's farewell
letter to M. Thouvenel that the latter minister
was dismissed, and did not resign.
The France starts a new red herring to amuse the
credulous who believe iu the policy of conciliation,
in the shape of a rumour that Mgr. de Nerode, the
Pope's minister at war, is about to resign, and that
Cardinal Antonelli will be found more tractable.

In the Temps M. Nefftzer very strikingly exem
plifies the progress of ultramontanism in France by
the following sketch of the present attitude of tbree
journals, representing respectively the petticoat
clique, the government whatever it may be, and the
legitimist party :
Each of the three journals, the Prance, the Consiku tionnef,
and the Union, has made a step in advanos. The Conetitu-
tionnd has taken she place of the Prance, the Prance hes
taken that of the Union, and the Union has got on
• little further. Six weeks ago the Union would
have been only too glad of • guarantee of the Beata
quo. Now it wants more, and says it awaits
satirisation. Six weeks ago the France iinlarged at endless
length upon the necessity for new endeavour to bring
about a reconciliation between the temporal papacy and
Italian unity. Now it openly proclaimsthat the object of the
imperial policy is the maintenance of the stain quo in Rome,
Six weeks ago the Constitutionnet was indignant with the
France. Now it appropriates the thesis left behind by that
journal, and indulges in variations of its own about the
reconciliation of the papacy with liberty. Six weeks ago the
Constkutionnel talked haughtily of the policy represented
at Rome by M. de Lavalette. Now that M. de Lavalette
is dismissed, the Constitutionnei resigns itself very
cheerfully to the change, and represents to its
readers that " a new negotiator, not in any way
committed upon the question, offers considerable
advantages, and does away with certain difficul-
ties." How can it reasonably be expected that the Pope
will abandon his non porrumus, which has hitherto met
with such remarkable success? M. de Lavalette and M.
Thouvenel have twice put it solemnly upon record that
the Pope would never cede anything. IL Thouvenel
warned the Holy See that, if it persisted in its " immo-
bility," the French government would be compelled to ex-
tricate itself from a situation which falsified its policy. The
Pope still replied, non poseunuu ; and now, not our
troops, but IL Phouvenel and M. de Layslette retire !
What nonsense to suppose that a fresh negotiator is likely
to be more successful. But what is the use of arguing?
The press can do nothing, and, as it is told by the France,
is not entitled to be beard (n'a pas La parole). It eon
merely observe and record facts.
The France, which now speaks just in the
haughty and truculent tone which the Pouvoir
did on the eve of the coup d'etat, taunts the poor,
crippled, frightened journals, on their sudden en-
lightenment as to true French police, and claims
the Debate as one of the newest converts to the
policy of conciliation and still conciliation. A
poor article in the Debate of this day lends some
countenance to the insolence of the France, but I
shall be surprised if the Debuts, upon consideration,
does not protest against the interpretation put
upon a single article of one of its minor rant-
teurs.

The Patric hears from Turin that the result of
the ministerial council yesterday was, after a

stormy discussion, that K Rattazzi and his
colleagues remain in office for the present ;
that their first act will be to call upon
the French government officially for an
answer to General Durando's circular, and that
after the unfavourable answer which is anticipated
some of the ministers will resign. K Rattazzi,
however, will remain in any case till after the
meeting of parliament (about Nov. 10, and will
then propose either to persevere in the present
policy of propitiating France, without being dis-
couraged by delays and refusals, or to seek tht
solution of the Roman question by other means
than those of the French alliance. On such a
dilemma being propounded, Rattazzi calculates on
the support of the chambers. If his conciliatory
policy should be condemned, be will resign.
Garibaldi has written an affectionate letter to
Victor Hugo, promising to be present at the first
representation of the Miserable iu London within
two months from this time. God grant that he
may be able to keep the appointment, but the latest
accounts from Variguano are most alarming. A
P.S. in a Turin letter of the 14th, in the Tampa,
contains the following :
I have just seen Dr. Riboli. He is greatly cast down.
The mere sight of Garibaldi at once dissipated in his mind
all the illusion' encouraged by the optimism of the daily
bulletins. Garibaldi is pale, exhausted, attenuated. A
fever, not intuits, but of daily recurrence, is slowly un-
Burning him. As to the wound, If. Riboli agrees with M.
Palasciano that the ball is in it. He thinks it not safe is
attempt the extinction at present, end at the same time fears
that delay may bring with it the most serious complicatioes.
In short, his impression is most discouraging.
K Charles Hugo has addressed the following
letter to the Mick :
I appeal to year impartiality to insert the following la
the Snicks A contstunioui, published by the• Phan de la
Loire, decisive that the statements in the letter sent by see
to the Monileur on October 6- and which the Monitenr
declined to insert—were al►ogether false. I confine my re.
ply to the fact personal to myself, namely, the preventive
interdiction of the drams La MisErabla. Of this fact 1
have the proof is ray hands. Ido not publish letters which

do not belong to me @lone. Bat a fact, milting from
letters in my preosesion, and which no one will dare to
Amy, is that the performance of the Aliserobies was pro-
hibited preventively on August 11, before the regular inter-
diction on the report of the committee of examination,
which was not made till September 13.—Beceive, ha.,

Oak's= How).

A story which has been going the round of the
papers that the Amazons steam frigate, lately
arrived from Mexico, had been sunk in the Laza-
retto of Toulon, because she was so thoroughly
infected with the yellow fever miasma that it was
impossible to purify her, is untrue. The ship is to
be sequestrated for a time and fumigated, but the
idea of destroying her, which (I rather think) was
entertained, is given up. The deaths on board her
were so numerous that the truth will not be told
about them for a long time to come. I decline to
repeat, thinking them exaggerated, the figures cur-
rently reported.
