ROMAN STATES.—Lt tters from our correspond-
ent at Rome dated the let inst. have come. to hand.
Geo. Bara)guny d'llitliers was expixted back from
Naples on the 2nd. His determination when he left
he. 4 been to demand an interview of the Pope, and
to tell him that Europe considered him as little better
than a prisoner in the custody of the King of Naples.
The Spanish forcer at Velletri, Poll() d'Aosio, and
Nettuno have converged on Terracing, ready to em-
oark.
Prises Coraini had returned to Rome, under the
prov ction of an autograph au-h rrisation of the Pope.
It is expected (says our correspondent) that the
French garrisons in that direction will shortly march
southwards to occupy Velletri and the environs, now
that the Spanish troops are upon the move. The
first division, consisting of about 4,000 men, com-
prising the cavalry, bra already marched from
. Vella Porto d'Anzio, and Nettnno, for Terracing,
where it will immediately be embarked for Bar-
cellons. The trip occupies four days, and the
steamers will forthwith return to take the
remainder of the army, now marching down from
Spoleto, Terni, Num, and Red. The ripanieh
officers leave the Roman Stated thoroughly disgusted
with their expedition, and bitterly complain of the
ingratitude of the ecclesiastics who repaid their
generous intervention by exciting a reactionary
movement at Madrid. • They declare that they came
here quid catholic., but that they are now ready to
turn 'lurks. The expense of the expedition, by the
time the army is returned to Spain, will amount to
about 8,000,000 of dollars, added to which we must
reckon a million more, which the Queen presented to
his holiness soon after his arrival at Gaeta. A sum
total of two mi.lions sterling, basely repaid by the
wilful fomentation of discord.

PARIS, MONDAY. 5.30 P.m
The-President of toe Iteosblic rode on horseback
yesterday, bcd as he piloted through the- Champs
Elea** feollieed-oatoerous marks of publio satisfac
lion at his recovery from his recent indpisisition.
M. Dupin gave a grand banquet to the President
of the Republic, and several otjaer guests, to the num-
ber of shout eighty. It is curious that not only all
the supporters of the presidential policy were present
but also MM. Thirrslaed Berryer. Tnat3ll. Thiele was
present will suffi bully show that the c mp!aiet he
has been labouring under is not very serious. The
Ordre thus reduces the alarming rumours on the
subject :
Two evening journals state that the indisposition which
p is U. Thies from being present at the sittings of the
Assembly has assumid a more serious character. We are
happy to be able to atmounee the contrary. Si. Thins is muck
batter, and a few days repose w:11 suffice to completely re-
store his health.
Every one is disappointed to-day at their being no
review. The pretext under which it was put off,
namely the indisposition of the President, has not
existed for several days, and a free course is given to
conjectures of every kind as to the real cause. The
fear of a manifestation is generally supposed to have
been the motive. It was not so. General Changer-
nier wanted the review to take place on the BJule-
yards, the President at the Chem?' de Mars; it was
before the obstinate will of both that the review was
sacrificed, but the idea is not totally abacdoned, for
the Constitutionnel to-day informs the red journals,
which it catechists, that fear was not the motive foe
putting it off, and that it will take place shortly.
It is supposed that M. Thiel.s and the President of
the Republic are not on each bad terms as might be
imagined. M. Thiess was quite well enotesh to eo
and dine with M. Dupin yesterday, yet he asked for
leave on Saturday on account of illness. His object
is to avoid writing his report on the projed of law
for public assistance until that presented by the Pie-
Mont on the same subject has appeared. The com-
mittee to which the question is referred want M.
Ibises' report to precede the presentation of Louis
Napoleon's project, but their wishes will evidently
not be attended to.
The Chamber to-day took into cnnaideratioa a re-
position, the tenor of which will be best jtelged of
from the following extract of an article in the Debalst
It may be remembered that the provisional government,
the eve of the meeting of the 'Constitueet Assembly,bad pro-
nounced the dismissal of the first creel ent and of several
member, of the C .ter des Compeer. The constitutim having
proclaimed that magistrates should hold their appo.ntments
for life, the present Assembly confirmed that prficiple by
the law of August 8 of this year, and has maintaxed the
existing tribunals and all the magistrates attached to them.
The Council of State on its side, on examining theorganin
law relative to the Cour des Comptes, declared that the per-
manersey of the court should be r.spected in the pastas it is
confirmed in the future. It was under this state of thistle
that a proposition was subedited to the Assembly,bavdag
for object to reinstate in their hinetions the magistrates whe
bad been dismissed, and to annul the decree of the pruvi
'ions' government. The Committee on Parlisnentary
Initiative has recommended the proposir ion to be tikes into
consideration, and demanded urgency for it, declaring that
too much haste could net be shown in rr-establishitg social
guarantees when they bane been shaken, and thstit is not
proper to leave in facts any more than in tags as) trace of
the amens made on the permanent character of the
magistracy.
The remainder of the proceedings were %minter-
eating.
The committee on the transportation bill had a long
sittiog on Saturday, in which it continued thet,diecus-
sion on the choice of an accessory penalty to replace
that of civil death, but it separated without iomiag

to aoy resolution.
The Muniteur says " The minister of public works
submitted to the central commission on railways, in
its sitting of the Bth, the propositions preseitel to
him by the Northern Itillway Company for the
I xecutton of the line which, from St. Quentin, ?assiog
by Msubeuge, shall unite vselt on the frontier with
'he Belgian line from Erquelines to Charl,roi, on
co:.ditiuu of having the term of their contract pro-
longed. The railway from Creil to St. Quentin, when
thus prolonuei, will be ome the direct lire from
Paris to Cologne, Berlin, ai.d the north."
