PARIS, MONDAY EYRNINO.

The Corps Legislatif assembled at half-past two
this afternoon. As soon u the President, Count de
Moray, took the chair, the Minister of State (M.
Fould) was introduced, and informed the house that
by order of the Emperor he came to lay upon the
table of the Corps Legislatit an authentic copy of the
treaty of peace of Paris, of the annexes accompany-
ing it, and also of a declaration signed by the pleni-
potentiaries on April 16.

The President then made a short speech, thanking
the Emperor in the name of the country, of which
the house was the organ, for the noble part which he
had played for France, both by his energy in the
war and his moderation at the conclusion of peace.
He also thanked the Emperor for the honourable and
patriotic share which he had given occasion to the
members of the house to take in all the recent grand
events.

The Minister of State replied that he would not
fail to inform the Emperor of the patriotic senti-
ments which the President of the Chamber had so
nobly expressed, and that he would also inform his
Majesty of the enthusiasm with which the Count de
Morny's address had been received by the Corps Le-
gislatif.

The Pafrie, in an article lauding Espartero to the
skies, says that " the two Marshals (Espartero and
O'Donnell) are aware of the desperate efforts of dema-
gogy and reaction ; they know that in Spain,as well
as abroad, skilfully organised calumny is spreading
malicious reports allow them in order to raise up
public opinion in Europe against the Spanish
Government." This is very hard indeed upon the
Orriefifestionnel, which cot a week ago was instructed
to call Espartero everything not actionable. There
is a demur des cartes here which it would be very
interesting and instructive to know.

ROME, Aram 24.

The high ecclesiastical circles of Bonito are panic
struck at the Cavour programme, and irritated at the
strong language made use of by the English press
respecting the mal•admtniatration of His Holiness's
dominions and the necessity of reform; and the sud-
den departure for Paris, on Saturday last, of Mon-
signor Berardi, under-secretary of state for foreign
affairs, is generally attributed to the consternation of
the court at the bare mention of a question of such
vital importance as a limit to the temporal sovereignty
of the supreme Pontiff, and the consequent desire to
have a negotiator of sagacity and devotedness on the

spot, to assist the Nuncio in his remonstrance., and
counteract the baleful suggestions of constitutional
pleoipotentiaries.

neral obsequies of Cardinal Fransoni, first priest of

oardinalitian purple. Ho was looked oa as a just
man, severe almost to bigotry, and is said to have
lost the papal throne on a previous election through
the veto of Austria.
