PAB.IB, FRIDAY Evninto.

There is no confirmation of the news given by
the Pays that the Duke of Montebello was to be
appointed ambassador at Rome. On the contrary,
BuUier's Correspondence states that the Marquis de
Lavalotto's departure is to be hastened, and that
he will leave Paris on Sunday or Monday at latest.
It is to be assumed, therefore, that the instructions
given to Count de Montebello, the new coin mander-in-
chief, cannot be inconsistent with the policy of the
diplomatist who succeeded in removing General de
Goyon. I had written thus far, when, turning
over the second sheet of Bullier's Correspondence—
of neither more nor less authority than the first—
I see it stated as " certain " that the Marquis de
Lavalette will not go back to Rome. This system
of giving news is sure to be right one way or the
Dther. As the French say, "II y a pour boire et
pour manger." The provincial journals to whom
the sheet is sent by this night's post may take
whichever they like.
The following is the Pays' "Latest news :"
. .

Some journals have pretended that the French govern
meet has addrened energetic complaints to the cabinets of
London and Madrid, relative to the conduct of the English
and Spanish plenipotentiaries in Mexico. We are informed
that the note seat by the minister to all our envoys in
Europe merely explains the conduct of France. While
tinily resolved to pursue bar own coarse in Mexico, the
French government will not hinder either England or Spain
from aiding her towards the accomplishment of the object
priposed, but she would consider herself released from the
engagements contracted in common by the treaty of London,
if the allies should persist in treating directly with Juarez.
The Viceroy of Egypt gives an Egyptian dinner
to the Emperor and Empress at the Tuileries to-
day. On this occasion the Emperor's cooks are
turned out of the kitchen attached to Said Pacha's
apartments, and the banquet will be prepared by
his own servants, who have just arrived. An
Egyptian band will play during dinner. The Vice-
roy leaves Paris on Monday for London direct, and
will not go by way of Belgium and Holland, as was
at first proposed.
The three Arab horses sent by Abd-el-ICader to
the Emperor were yesterday presented to his Ma-
, jetty in the court of the Tuileries by Cara Mo-
hammed, ex-Aga of Tlemcen, to whose care they
I was entrusted by the Emir. The Empress was
I present at the ceremony, while the three
hates, richly caparisoned in eastern trap-
pins, were led up and down. Her Ma-
jetty inquired particularly of Cara Mohammed
about Abd-el-Ksder's health. General de Fleury
he oollected in Paris some of the best
specimens of English thoroughbred horses from the
Emperor's studs, in order to give his Majesty an
opportunity of comparing the present pure Barbary
race with the descendants of the Godolphin
I Arabian. That celebrated ancestor of English race-
' horses was one of ten stallions sent to Louis XV.
' , by the Bey of Tunis ; but that monarch preferred
the Norman race, and undervalued his present.
The Godolphin Arabian, as is well known, was

purchased by the English ambassador in Paris and
sent to England. Abd-el-Kader's horses will not
be despised and neglected like their predecessors.
The finest of the three, called the Emir, will be sent
to the Emperor's central stud at Pin, and the other
two (probably) to the studs in the Pyrenees.
Prince Dolgoroukow has shaken off the dust from
his feet as a testimony against Paris, and retired to
Brussels, where he proposes incontinently to publish
a book, to be entitled " La Veriti sur la France."
The Bourse has been dull, without any marked
feature. The Rente left off at precisely the quota-
tions of Wednesday-70fr. 35c. and 70fr. 30c.
Mobilier rose lfr. 35c., and the Italian Loan, sc.
In railways scarcely any change. Caisse Mires fell
2fr. 50c., closing at 110 fr.

AN UNPOPULAR BISHOP.

The Pereeveranza of Milan publishes a letter con-
taining the particulars of the outrage committed on Bishop
Zinelli, of Treviso, already mentioned by telegram. It will
be remembered that Mgr. Zinelli was promoted to his
bishopric in consequence of the strong language against
Italy which he used • few months ago in his sermons in
the Cathedral of St. Mark, which led to several disturb.
ances, and to the clearing of the church by the military.
The correspondent of the Per/femme.= says :
" On the occasion of the installation of the new bishop of
Treviso, all the upper classes of the town absented themselves
in obedience to a proclamation issued by the National Com-
mittee. All the vehicles which could be found were hired, so
that the authorities themselves found it extremely difficult to
procure any. The new bishop, having previously visited
Pragaussiol incognito, had been hissed there, and as he
stayed with the priest, two petards were thrown into the
house. An explosive shell had been thrown at the same
time into the house of the capitular vicar of Treviso. The
police afterwards discovered three mines which had been
prepared along the road from Preganaziol to Treviso. These
inauspicious preliminaries ushered in the great day of
the installation. The town was occupied by the mili-
tary, and scoured by patrols. No carriages were
seen in the streets, nor was one to be bad for any money.
At five o'clock the bishop made his entry, accompanied by
the delegate, the podesta, and the canons of the cathedral,
all esoorted by • strong police force. None but • few of
the lowest class were to be seen in the streets ; all the
blinds were closed along the streets through which the
procession paused. And yet, oo its arriving at the church
of San Martino, some hand unknown contrived to throw an
explosive shell into the bishop's carriage. Two persons
near him were severely wounded by it, as also two soldiers;
the bishop himself received no injury. The neighbouring
house* were immediately searched by the military, bat no
clue to the mystery discovered. To provoke the people
*till more, the bishop had dressed his laoqueys in tricoloured
liveries."
