MANIFESTO OF LOUIS NAPOLEON.—INTER-
FERENCE OF FRANCE IN BEHALF OF
THE POPE.
PARIS, TIMIDLY, 5 30 P.M.
The prindpol oddest of conversation to-day has
been the course to los adopted by France in consequense
of the events whisk have taken place at Rome. A
paslozodmisanressisn has been produced by the
limb la the Amenably, that the govern-
not hid nossined not an expedition to secure the
pannal freedom of the Pops. This measure will
highly favourable to the sandidateship of Gen.
The Catbilis gaily, which has not yet
mud any opinion as Is Ike candidates, will pro.
A kiegraphin despatch has been
seat today to Marseilles, announcing that France will
sadism to adopt the same policy in reference to the
kolossits of the church that she has always hitherto
hawed. This measure has been communicated to
Cloud Mostalembert, and has elicited from him an
:Misof satisfaction. The military expedition
r be commanded by General &dean.
The following is a note of what passed in the
National Assembly to-day : A question having been
asked relative to the affairs of Italy, General
Cavaignac replied that the government had received
aceounbs of the movement which had taken
plass at Rome on the 18th inst., and had
sent by telegraph ordering a brigade of 3,500 men to
embark immediately at Toulouse sad Marseilles for
Civita Vecchia. He added that hi.Corcelke bad been
ordered on an extraordinary mission to Rome, with
the view of assuring the personal liberty of the Pope,
and offering him an asylum in France. The French
government did not intend to interfere in the political
affairs of Rome, or of employing troops otherwise than
in securing hie holiness from personal control. Gen.
Cavaignac then proceeded to read to the Assembly
the
instructions given by the Minister of Foreign
to M. Comilla as follows:

My dear Cidleagere,—Yon know the deplorable events
which have taken pine in the city of Rome, and reduced the
holy father to a sort of Captivity. In consequence of them
events the government of the republic has just decided that
four steam frigates, carrying a brigade of 3,400 men,
should be sent to Clefts Vecchia. It has also decided that
you should repair to Rome as envoy extraordinary. Your
mission has for its object to interfere, in the name of the
French Republie, in order to restore to his holiness his per.
weal liberty, if he has been deprived of it. If ever it en-
tered his intention, considering circumstances, to retire for
a while to the territory of the republic, you will ensure, es
mush as in your power lies, the realisation of that wish,
and you will insure the Pope that he will experience from
the French nation a reception worthy, of them,
and worthy also of the virtues of which he has given so many
proofs. You are sot authorised to interfere in any political
question pending at Remo. It belongs to the National
Assembly alone to determine the measure* which the
government of the republic shall adopt for the re-establish-
ment of a regular situation in the states of the church. For
the present you have—in the name of the government
' which sends you, and which, in so doing, remains within
the limit' of the power confided to it—to secure the liberty
of the pipe and respect for his person. On your arrival
' before Cavite Vecchia you will land in person, and pruned
to Rome to confer with M. d'Harcourt, with whom
you will come to an understanding, and act afterwards
jointly, in compliance with the Instructions given to
you lay the government. You will cause the troops at
your; disposal to land, either at Civita Vecchia itself, or
wherever that force may with safety co-operate in insuring
the success of our minion. Measures have been adopted to
reinforce that brigade, if necessary, and you will no doubt
receive subsequent and more detailed iestructions if the
National Assembly should consider them indispensable. i
I cannot too often repeat that your minion hos not, and
cannot have, for the moment, any other object than to
ensure the personal safety of the Pope, and, in an extreme
case, his temporary retreat on the territory of the republis.
You will take care to proclaim loudly that you are not some
to interfere, in any respect, in the differences that divide to.
day, dad holy father and the people he governs. The re-
%Odic. moved by a sentiment which is an old tradition
among the French nation, repairs to the NINNNIOS of the
parson of the Pops. In entertains no other intention. Your
minion is a delicate one. It requires a great clearness of
view and appreciation. The government of the republic
places every confidence in the sentiments that will direct you.
1 must also call your attention to the use you may be obliged
to make of the troops confided to your superior direction.
Their landing must only be effected within the very limited
range in which it may be possiblefor them to act with
efficacy in obtaining the sole object of your minion—the
security of the Pope. It is possible that the events may
suggest to yo 4 amenities which I cannot foresee. In that
case you will have to apply without delay for the orders of
the government of the republic, which, according to circum-
stances, and the propositions you may submit to it, will act
oa its own impulse, or atter consulting the Assembly.—
Receive, &c., (Signed) The Minister of Foreign Affairs,
ri cute BASTIDIL —Pans, Nov. 27, 1848.
The official journal of lut evening confirms the re-
ported departure of the Pope from Rome. His holi-
ness is said to have arrived at (Alibi Vecchia; but,.
notwithstanding the statement pat forth in the
journals, I am assured that the Pope has not sailed
for France, but for Naples.
It is understood that the Archbishop of Paris has
applied to General Cavaignac for a frigate to be
placed at the disposal of the Pope, and that the chief
of the executive power has a,sured M. Sivour that all
he can do shall be done to usist his holiness.
I learn from an official Pearce that Austria has
accepted the offer made by the mediating powers to
hold the conferences for the pacification of Italy at
Brussels. This acceptance was the last act of the
Wesaemberg cabinet, and Prince Schwartzenberg on
accepting the government, immediately ratified it,
and expressed at the same time to the represen-
tatives of the mediating powers the strongest
desire to enter immediately on the negoti-
ations. M. Bastide, however, objected that it
would be more advisable to wait until the President
of the Republic is named. Lord Palmerston has so-
quieeced in this. The mediating powers have also
agreed that the armistice should be prolonged through-
out the winter, and in consequence Austria has en-
gaged not to attack Venice by land or by sm.
The Sardinian gcvernment hu at the same
time also engaged to retain Admiral Albini with the
Sardinian ilk et, at Ancona.
A considerable number of the representatives who
voted in the majority on Saturday evening have ad-
dressed letters to the journals, to explain that
their vote had no other signification than
this, that they saw no reason to retract or
reverse the decree of the Assembly . passed en the
28th June in favour of General Cavaignac, after the
suppression of the insurrection. They disavow any
signification having reference to the candidateehip of
the presidency.
The Bien l'ablie of this morning publishes the fol-
lowing manifesto of Prince Louis Napoleon :
Lutes Napoleon Bonaparte to his Fellow-citisens,—To
recall me from exile you named me representative of the
people. Oe the eve of the election of the first magistrate of
the republic, my name presents itself to you as a symbol of
order and security. These testimonies of so honoursble a
confidence are rendered, I am aware, rather to my name
than to me, who have as yet done nothing toe my
country ; but the more the memory of the emperor affords
me its patronage, and inspires your suffrages, the more
do I feel hound to declare my sentiments and my principles.
There must be no mirconception between us. I am not an
ambitious titan, who sometimes dream of the application of
subvenive theories. Educated in free countries, in the
school of misfortune, I shall always remain faithful to the
duties which your suffrages shall impose on me and the will
of the Assembly. lf I am named president, 1' will not re-
treat berme any danger, before any sacrifice, to defend society
so audaciously attacked. I will devote myself wholly, with-
out mental reservation, to the consolidating a republic, wise
in its laws, honest in its iitentions, great and powerful by its
acts. I shall engage my honour to leave, at the end of four
yore, power consolidated, liberty untouched, and a real pro-
gress accomplished. Whatever may be the result of
the election, I shall bew before *he will of the people;
and my concurrence is given by anticipation to
any just and firm government which re-establishes
moral as well as physical order, which effectually protects
religion, family, and property, the eternal bases of all society,
which takes the initiative in all reasoaable reforms, calms
animosities, reennoline peril's, and thus allows the disturbed
essatry to rely ea the morrow. To rimotablish order, is to
meters madame, to provide, by establishing creditairatial
