PARIS. MONDAY Breirrna.
The papal Minister at War, Mgr. de Milrode, in
an order of the day announcing to the Pope's army
the death of General de Lamorlaiere, alluded to
Csatelfidardo, and took upon himself to say that
down to the moment of his death General de La-
morioiere " was only waiting for a favourable
opportunity once more to risk his life for the
cause." The above sentence stimulates the Putrie
to ask whether the Pope is thinking of attacking
Italy. Mgr. de Moirode cannot avoid this dilewuia,
that his order of the day is either a threat of
hostilities or a vain famfaropmade.
Cardinal d'Andrea has sent to the Temps, by
post, from Naples, a printed letter of the highest
interest, addressed from Naples to his brother
cardinals and the episcopacy in general, in which,
according to the Temps' Italian correspondent, M.
Erdan, he "declares himself openly a partisan of
the unity of Italy and the convention of. Septem-
ber 15." The Temps this evening publishes the
following manuscript letter received from his
eminence :

Naples, Sept. 21.

The rumours which continue to be circulated touching
my sojourn in Naples have induced me to address to my
venerable colleagues, the cardinals and the bishops, a letter
of explanation. Your journal being apparently one which
takes particular notion of everything concerning me, I beg
you to publish the document which I and by this post.—
Aoospt, J 1.1103“ CARDINAL D'AIDEIZA.

The Temps says it received the above letter
together with that of its correspondent, M.!
Erdan, without any delay, but the printed
letter referred to as being despatched by
the same poet has not come to hand. It gives
notice of the miscarriage to the postmaster-general.
I presume Cardinal d'Andrea's printed letter has
shared the fate of the Daily News of Saturday, i.e.,
has been seized, or at least detained. When the
prefects are told that their principal duty is to
keep an eye upon the provincial press, it is not
astonishing that the gentlemen of the board of
censure in Paris should feel their importance
enhanced, and think it necessary to show extra
zeal in stopping foreign printed matter.
In the last list of creations of chevaliers of the
Legion of Honour appears the humble name of
Marchand, a corporal of gendarmerie in the de-
partment of the &rale, and the grounds given in
the Mowiteur for conferring upon him this distinc-
tion, so much coveted by his bettors, are that he
had " the courage to inform against the Mayor of
Montreuil—le Henry—for illtreating and locking
up his daughter, while no inhabitant of the com-
mune [dared to take an initiative in the matter."
The mayor in question imprisoned his daughter in
a stable, and kept her there in filth and misery for
many years, and for this , crime he was some

months sines senteiloed by an assize court to
a long period of imprisonment. It is very
fairly observed by the opposition journals on
the occasion of K Maroband's decoration that
if this mayor of the Mrs. Brownrigg race had
been elected by his fellow-citizens instead of being
I appointed to reign over them by au imperial decree
they would not probably have been afraid to de-
nounce his cruelty.

Contrary to general expectation the government
candidate, M. Barilion, has been returned in the
Oise. Out of 27,848 registered voters he obtained
17,243. The opposition minority of 10,498 was
distributed as follows :—Buffard, 5,172 ; Cerbin,
4,942 ; and Tremblay, 384.
Marshal Canrobert's wife, an English lady, has
just been confined of a daughter at the Chateau de
Billion, near Lyons.
The Duke de Oramont Quierousse died at 6 this
morning. The Marquis de Galifet, the Prince
d'Aremberg, and several other intimate friends
were at his bedside during his last moments.

OUTBREAK OP DISEASE AMONGST THE
SHEEP.
(Fssoi as rasa.)
The Cattle plague has suddenly exhibited an
*stingy sew end anespsoted developmeot, sad the latel-
ligenoe we publish on the subject this morals( is most
startling. It will be seen from • report of Protium'.
&mos& to the Clark of the Council that the disarm bus

fatal characteristics ; sad, further, that there Is
every appssraace of the lafastioe train bass ems'
muolasted both from sheep to sous, sad from cows

• -

to sheep. The facts of the case are singularly as-
mistakeable end complete. Oa the 17th of Ant= •
farmer at Btakeney, in Norfolk, received on his farm 120
lambs which had been bought at Thetford Fair. Oa their
arrival some of them showed sigma of =meal fatigue,
which was attributed to the beat at the weather sad to
their lour journey. The shepherd, however, at coos pro-
nounced them =healthy, aad reeemsairaded that they
should be returned to the dealer. It was secs evident that
disease, sad not fatigue, was affecting them end the s►mp-
toms rapidly spread among the dock. Oa the 24th of
August—the dates are Dot the least important part
of the story—two of the wont ones were removed
from the field to a shed in which a cow was also

plaoed. On the 2lith two lambs died, end on the
27th the whole flock were brought Into the yard in which
the shed stood. Another shed was esperened from th

yard by nothing more than some furze (agate, and into this
shad some oows were drives night and morning for the par
pose of being milked. From this tints the disease .pried
among the lambs with the same deadly rapidity width bee
marked its ravage, amoeg herds of cows, until oa the 22nd

°tidy affected. The symptoms woe precisely those of the
a plague, and post mortem examination., both by Yr.
Simonds and by other authorities at the Veterinary Oollept,
I revealed all the familiar marks of the same disown.
That the plague, therefore, has broken out seam the
sheep is, is the first place unquestionable ; it remains to
consider the evidence of its infeetioa having been csommu-
pleated between them and the cattle. It wee as the 24th
of August that a eow was first lodged Is the ass abed
with the two lambs. Footless days afterwards, as the 7th

September, or, se Mr. Simonds prefers to pert it, "ter
days after the last exposure to the shay,* this very
oow exhibited symptoms of the cattle plague. Your days
',der a second now, one of those which had been milked
in the adjoiniss shed, also fall ill, and by the 16th
of September all the cow, six in number, a heifer,
i and a calf, were dead. Add to this that the plains
has not appeared among any cattle within a distance of
fourteen miles from the farm, and the wideness of direct
infection from the sheep to the cattle are certainly easy
strong. After such eases se that of Lord Sydney's cattle,
which were attacked at a distance of three mike and

half from soy known nurse of ee•tsglon, Mr. Simonds
must be admitted to be somewhat free with his impossi-
bilities. At the same time we have here all the signs of
infection which could be expected. The cattle are healthy
sell the arrival of the lambs, and they are exposed to no
other known source of infection. The lambs hen the
plane, and are in close communication with the cows; and
after the lapse of precisely the usual period of incubation
from the time when the cows were exposed to the entagion
the disease breaks oat among them. From ten days to a fort-
night is the time during which the disease is slid to remain
latent, and this was exactly the period which elapsed.
Such is the evidence of the disease having bees communi-
cated from sheep to eon. We are not informed in the caM
of this fink how the lambs could ban contracted the
disease ; but a eau has occurred simultaneously in this
muse scanty which would appear to show that the plague
can be directly conveyed from the cows to the sheep. A
disease bearing similar appearance of being identical with
the cattle plague has been ravaging a large dock of sheep in
Norfolk, belonging to Mr. B. F. li. Harvey, M.P. Upon
this estate the disease was first introduced by some cattle,
and the sheep had been pastured with some of these very
cattle. We have, therefore, at least as strong evidence as
can be expected, not only that the disease of the cattle bas
broken oat among the sheep, but that It is equally liable to
be communicated from one class of animals to another.
The gloomy prospects which are opened to us by such
intelligence are bat too evident. If this fatal malady
ravages at the same moment both our oxen and our sheep,
we must look forward to little lees than a famine of acing
food. If we had been spared one of our great meat
',triples, we might have endured the temporary injury of
the other ; but if both are sinanhaaeonady damaged, the
consequences may be meet lamentable. A disease, indeed,
among the sheep would h►ve a far more direct result upon
the supply of meet than the cattle plague, as we lately
understood it. It was the cows which were principally
affected, end the supply of beef was not immediately de-
pendent upon them. Bat if • whole flock of Ammar lambs
may be indiscriminately ravaged, the supply of mutton must
be instantly contracted. It mast be added, too, that under
such circumstance, it will be necessary to use the strictest
measures of precaution in order to prevent the sale of
diseased meat. Moreover, if sheep may be affected by this
disease, why may not pigs? Aad thee every article of
animal food may be at con throwo under suspicion.
But it will be not the least alarming result of such a (re-
covery th►t it would seem to reader nugatory all our per
Timis measures for preventing the distribution of the
disease by means of naturism. It is evident in the first
place, that while we thought we had guided spinet con-
tagion by • rigid quenelle° of ear cattle we have been liable
all the time to have it conveyed by sheep. But, in the
next place, with all our sheep as well as oar cattle exposed
to the plague, bow will it be possible to enforce a strict
system of separation? Large flocks of sheep are very
&dement from herds of cattle. Where there ark hunched'
of cattle there we thorns-3de of sheep, and it would seem
impossible to insure that animals in an incipient siege of the
disease shall not be Doomed along public roads, or be
allowed to pasture among healtbF herds. If the system of
'` stamping out" the disease by presenting any diseased
animal from communicating with any healthy on be still
our only resource, Dotting would seem likely to be mut&
tient except the absolute prohibition of all transit of any
kind of saimals. The outbreak may, io Gat, prove to be
the reduaio ad absurdum of our regalstioes. It will be
sem that the dagger has In some anemias* been already
met by the Privy Council. We publish an order this
morning, consolidating all the previous criers on the s►me
subject, in which the word " animal" eir olives the widest
exteasioe, and is made to include not only horned cattle.
but sheep, lambs, gotta, and swine. Asy good,
therefore, that can be dome ty the orders in
couacil will at once affect sheep as well as oxen.
Without, again, indulging in premature speculations.
we may anticipate that many other points la our
existing notions on the subject will be placed in • very new
light. We wonder wbetber M. Behie will reseals equally
positive that the plague is the Russian rioderpest, and a
disease peculiar to horaed cattle. Wall it, again, be equally
certain that the disease is typhus fever, now that it has
extended far humeri the class of subjects in which, while
it appeared to be that disease, it was thought to have ori-
ginated? And, lastly, now that it seems probable that our
whole stook of animal food is liable to be eff otrd,
shall we persist in the barbarous practice of slaughtering
indisorioneately every sainted in which the disease
appears' When • plain among haven beings

propose to slaughter the remaining 30 per cant. in order
to prevent contagion' Suppose that seven-eighths of the
cattle attacked sink under the diessu, why should we lose
the remaining eighth' At all events, if this be the oily
treatment with which veterinary surgeons can provide us,
we beg to suggest one practical conclusion to the Beitials
farmers—that is, sot to put themselves to the expense of
employing veterinary romans. They can slaughter their
cattle without the assistance of the Veterinary College.
We bops, however, a more civilised saaanse of treatment
may be soon adopted, and that those veterinary sargeoes
who believe in the metalline of their art sad are willing
to extend its resources by the light of experience) may take
every opportunity of doing so.
