ALLOCUTION OF THE POPE.

In the allocution delivered at the last consistory
the Pope expressed his surprise and sorrow at the
sad events which had recently taken place in
Mairieo. His Holiness hoped that the Hmperor
Maximilian would abandon the course upod which
he had entered, and satisfy the just desires of the
Holy See.

The Pope further thanked the bishop, of the
catholic world, and especially those of Italy, for
their zeal in defending religion and the liberties of
the church despite the decrees of secular autho-
rities.

THE WEST LNDIA, PACIFIC, AND MEXICAN
MAILS.

SOUTILIMPTON, NAM 311,

The Royal Mail Company's steamer Atrato, with
the above mails, has arrived here with 138 rmen-
gers, 2,274,809 dole. in specie, and 1„103 packages
of cargo, consisting chiefly of cigars, jalap bark,
indigo, and silver ore. Amongst her passengers are
General Buanaventuara Baez, ex-president, of Fan
Domingo ; and Admiral Riestra, of the Peruvian
navy, from Callao. the Atrato left St. Thomas on
the 15th. She experienced during the first five
days bead winds and heavy sea, but since then fine
weather.

The steamer Hayti, from Liverpool, arrived at
St. Thomas on the 10th.
The steamer Palayo arrived at the same port
on the 13th with news from St. Domingo
to the 11th. The Spanish authorities were
anxious to prevent the intentions of their govern,,
ment from becoming known, but their manceuvrea
bad tended to show that the Spanish troops intended
to quit the island. The Spaniards were massed in
Ports St. Domingo and Puerta Plata, and the Do-
minicans, profiting by their inactivity, were
strengthening their forts and preparing for another
campaign if required. Nothing appears left for the
Spaniards but to carry on a war of extermination
or to abandon the island.
Trade was very languid, and every branch of
business in the Wand paralysed. Several families
had emigrated to Porto Rico in consequence of the
high price of provisions.
Her Majesty's ships Duncan, Aurora, and Steady
were at Trinidad ; the Abonkir, Pawn, =decedent
at Jamaica ; and the Wolverine, Ball Dog, and
Petrel at Secrilicio. The Tribune had =led from
Esquiatault foe the South Pacific.'

that, although the result of the elections in New

was quite plain that the demand on Oanada to er

was impossible to comply with unaided, Tim
war raging in the United States had injured *
trade, diminished the commerce and raven* lei
seriously affected the credit of the country. The
position, therefore, in which Canada is .alld
upon to contribute largely and liberally it
one surrounded with difficulties. The go.
comment cannot go on the mere seanity
credit of the province in the London market*

nounoement to the capitalists of gnessa
that hostilities between the United Stain
and Canada are considered imminent, without is.
crewing that deireciation which has afro talus
plain in our securities, now below 80 in the
London market. Therefore, my exceditine
which the country may feel called upon to
assume in fulfilment of her engagements lends
the empire must be on the undendisedig
that it will be sustained by the imperial credit.
Regarding the unaided efforts of Canada in such s
struggle the difficulties are insurmountable ; .hencs

in asking the imperial guarantee for the soma which
might be required for defensive purposes, be felt that
Canada was asking no more than what the empire
would accord to the other colonies. He basted
at& believed that, notwithstanding what might
be said in the press or elsewhere, we should
find in England the desire to sustain
this portion of the Empire. He thought she that
the time had come when it became necessary theta
frank explanation should be had, for if the
tone still prevails in England respect* the
Colonies being only • burtben to the another
country, it is time that we should know it. It
was well that the people of England should know
that we do not go to them as mendicants, but pre
pared to assume our share of the duties of defence.
The resolution was finally carried, it being under.

KXPRB3S FROM PARIS

PARIS. WIDNEBDAY Bram
Tlse Ministry of the Interior was offered in the
first instance to M. Thornier, but he declined it Oa
the ground of delicate health.
Although the Marquis de Lavalette is principal
known by the despatches which he wrote when
ambassador at Rome depicting the utter hope-
lemma of the attempt to convince the Pope of the
necessity of reforms, I do not find QM his
present appointment is oonsidered to • have
any specially anti-clerical character. The, Em-
peror after much cogitation has come
to the conclusion that the Ministry of the
Interior is an augean stable which wants clesnsiag.
The Duke de Persigny left it in a very bad 'condi-
tion, but under good M. Boudet's red tape Infittgo"
meat it seems to have got worse. The Marquis de
Lavalette is believed to be a man capable of •doing
some special urgent work, but his nomination is no
sign of any change of policy.
There is some expectation that M. Bondet will
obtain the secretaryship of the Senate, vacant by
the death of Baton Lacrosse, annouuccd in to-day's
Manifest.
M. Nigra, the Italian Ambassador, in retain for
a presentation copy of the Rmperor's Julius Geier,
left a card at the Tuileries, on which were written
these lines :

The Bourse was depressed. Bente fell 20c. for
cash, and 10c. for amount, closing at 67fr. 33c.
Mobilier was much offered, the recently published
accounts showing that the profits for the last year
mareely exceeded two millions of francs ; the fall
of the day was 22fr. 500.
