PARIS, TIRTIIIDAY EVENING.

All the evening papers have been furnished
officially with a copy of the following important
" communicated note," sent by the Minister of the
Interior to the .dati de to Religion ;

The dmi d. Is Idifion, in Pe number of June Id, attri-
butes the insurrectiond movements which have broken out
in Romagna to the Emperor's proclamation. Thie mode of
dieing the cue is neither =erect nor fair; but WI the mis-
represented= appear, to form part of • plea acted upon by
several journals, It is desirable to explain how the mattes
really stands. The Emperor's proclamation, which has ell
that character of noble moderation which is the invariable
I rale of hie policy, merely made en appeal to the patriotism
and discipline of the Italian people. It repudiated any
" preconceived system of dispoesessiag sovereigns." The
Emperor hes moreover distinctly recognised the neutrality of
the States of the Church. This declaration inftlelently
enables public opinion to judge how reprehensible are those
insinuations which tend to make it believed that France is
eadeaeouring to weaken the political authority of the holy
tether which she restored ten years ago, and which is yet
under the respectful anardssnehip of her arms.
This is perhaps the most unequivocal manifesto in
favour of the temporal power of the Pope, as at pre-
sent constituted, which the French government has
mode since the present war was first in contempt*.
tion. It is worthy of remark, however, that the
Sieele, whose powerful and enthusiastic co-operation
in the service of the Italian cause bas been hitherto
very graciously accepted by the government, daily
argues that the sovereignty of the Roman States,
which he and his predecessors have so badly go-
verned for centuries, is no essential part of the pre..
rogative appertaining to the head of the eatholio
church. 'Preis very morning the Slick observes, and
very truly, that the Emperor's proclamation of
June 8 invited "all Italians" to make their wishes
known, and it thinks the demonstrations in

the Roman States come very apropos to refute
the notion sedulously propagated by ultra
montanists that the Austrian prefects and the
cardinals were the idols of the Roman people. The
Presse takes a similar view, and construes the Siiels
as meaning to say expressly that the inhabitants of
Romagna are now just u free to say how they wish
to be governed as the Milanese, or the people of
Parma and Piacenza. The Freese moreover thinke
that it does not follow, that because the King of
Sardinia may have endeavoured to prevent a mani.
festation in his favour in the Roman States, it
will therefore necessarily be disregarded now that it
has been made.

The public mind is less alarmed about the mobil-
sation of two-thirds of the Prussian army than it
was yesterday. It is observed that the measure
might have been expected from the time when the
government organ in Berlin strenuously denied
that the " whole" army was to be mobilised. Al.
though it is impossible to entertain a doubt that the
placing on a war footing of a force amounting to not
leas than 300,000 men is a concession to the apprehen-
sion of danger which is strongly felt throughout a great
part of Germany, there is a disposition to rely with
much confident)e on the prudence of Prussia. People
say that the mobilisation of her army is the price she
pays to the smaller states for the concession to her
of that initiative and direction of federal affairs
which they have long hesitated to yield to her. It
is not unimportant to remark that the article in the
Prussian Go:rite Designs as a motive for taking the
step in question that it will place Prussia in a pad.
tion to exercise proper influence " when the time
comes for a settlement of the affairs of Italy." This
phrase may be thought to exclude the idea of inter-
ference in the present war so long as it continues to
be localised. The worst aspect of the affair, how-
ever, appears to me to be that Russia and Prussia
are reciprocally threatening each other. Letters
from Berlin say that the military measures
lately taken by Russia were the really determining
cause of the Regent of Prussia's move, and on the
other hand a St. Petersburg letter, written, of
course, in ignorance of the determination come to
at Berlin on June 14, says that the measures re-
solved upon by Russia will not be definitively exe-
cuted, " unless Prussia allows herself to be goaded
into taking menacing step.." In that case, con-
tinues this correspondence, " corps of troops will be
concentrated on the Prussian frontiers and in Gal.
licia, snd a detachment of our fleet will be sent to
the Prussian ports in the Baltic." The event alluded
to having now happened, it is to be feared that the
Russian demonstration will be forthwith made.

There is no news whatever from the theatre of
war, and it is given out that the Moniteur must not
be expected to break silence for several days. A
grand battle continues to be expected, but it is not
thought that it can come off till towards the end of
the month.

The Bourse opened with the same favourable dis-
position which signalised the close yesterday. The
Rents rape to 62fr. 90c., but this price was not sus-
tained; the closing quotations were 621 r. 80c. for
cub, and 62fr. 60c. for account—being a rise of 30c.
and 15c. Mobilier rose lfr. 25c. The Euteru rail-
way rose 12fr. 50c.; Southern, 7fr. 50c.; and
Northern, 51r.; the other lines scarcely varied.

After Bourse hours the Rents was done in the
couliate at 621 r. 30c.—being a tall of 30c. from the
official closing prices.

EIDER VERSUS CULOROFORM.—At the last sitting
of the Imperial BJciet7 of M.dicone of Lyons, the important
question of the rel.ttvd advseisgee of ether end chloroform
as enicetbeti.e we. fully diverged. Dr. Barrier stated that,
to hot knowledge there were only three well authenticated
oases in which ether had reared death, and that even in
them there were bona sateottatior cfrownstanoes. The
deaths cau-e I M chloroform, on the cimtrary, were name-

ouunteracting the dangerous effects either of ether or chloro-
form, and eh owed that is this respect the latter was greatly
inferior to the former. Several othi r members expteased
similar opinions, without there being a single voice in
favour of chloroform ; and at length the society, as the ino-
' lien of Dr. Barrier, pamed the following resolutioas .—" 1.
