ARCHBISHOP MANNING A2' ROME.

The correspondent of the Post at Rome, referring
to the address of the bishops in reply to the Popes allocu-
tion, says :—" The draft of the address brought over by
Archbishop Manning, and presented to Cardinal Mattel
t for the consideration of the committee of bishops, which
!met for the purpose after the allocution, at the
I Altieri Palace, was much more energetic ; so
much so, indeed, that it was quashed in its
nicett important paragraphs, and so rendered muti-
! dated and abortive. The details of this little bit of eccle-
siastical parliamentary discussion are amusing. When
Cardinal Mattel introduced Monsignore Manning's proposed
address to the motley assemblage of bishops collected in
committee to decide upon the text, his eminence began to
read it in Italian. On which, up roie an Oriental bishop,
and protested against the use of that language, with which
he was not familiar, and proposed that as the church has
' a languagepeculiarly her own, Latin should be spoken
during the discussion. The cardinal consequently made
an attempt to read the address at once in Latin, but broke
! down so that the first meeting was a abort one, and the
next deferred until the Pope's Latin secretary, Mon-
! signore Pacifici, could give a Latin version of the
document. In the subsequent discussions Monsig-
mire Manning's three principal points were struck out.
His strong observations in condemnation of the Emperor
of Russia were immediately objected to by a conforming
I Greek bishop, who stated that he lived in the Czar's do-
' minions, where ne and his flock received protection, and
that it would be ungrateful as well as unsafe for him to
sign any such strictures on his sovereign's conduct. The
' animadversions against Victor Emmanuel were objected
to by the majority of the Italian bishops, who stated that
they had been favourably impressed by their late resto-
ration to their sees and reception ; and finally
the archbishop's laudatory remarks on the attach-
ment of the Romans to the Pope and their spi-
ritual and temporal pastors and masters were considered to
be exaggerated in general, and especially objected to by
some Roman prelates as calculated to excite subsequent
°ensures, and perhaps provoke a reactionary feeling.
Monsignore Manning attempted to harangue his compeers
in defence of his address; but the English bishops present,
who dislike him as a convert, and have not forgiven him for
the partiality shown him by the Pope in appointing hint above
their beads to the see of Westminster, cast in their votes
against him, and so reduced his address at once to a case of
fiasco. Archbishop Manning leaves Rome this evening."

One of the countless new facetious publications
now popular in Paris—the Han neon—publishes a MACS-
tun of Rossini blowing a trumpet, firing off • cannon,
ringing • bell, and otherwise performing his " Hymn to
the Emperor." The autograph, containing, as the manner
now is, the authorisation of the person &wired to be cari-
catured, runs thus :—" Dentin' once upon a time made a
caricature of the composer of Pesaro who, now reduced
to the rank of • fourth-class pianist, makes no objection to
the publication of one in your journaL—Roismai.—Pasey,
June Lhi."

The abats of yesterday, in speaking of the death
of the Emperor Maximilian, says, " Whatever the details
may be, they will scarcely add anything to the grief and
indignation which have filled every generous heart in
Europe. The France exclaims, 'After this, at least we
hope there will be no Juarists in France.' No, there
will be any, and there never have been ►ny that we know
of. There have been Frenchmen who approved of the de-
parture of the Archduke Maximilian to Mexico, and
Frenchmen who disapproved of it. Would to heaven this
unfortunate prince bad followed the advice of those who
warned him against an enterprise in which triumph wss
without glory and defeat was sure to end in a horrible
disaster.'

THE LATE ARCHDUKE MAXIMILIAN.—The late
Archduke Maximilian was born on the 6th July, IKI2, and
had not therefore attained his 35th year. He was brother
of the Emperor Francis Joseph, and second son of the
Archduke Francis Charles, known as the Archduke Ferdi-
nand. lie was for some time governor of the Lombardo-
Venetian kingdom, and left that poet in 1859. He ac-
cepted the crown of Mexico at Miramar on the 10th April,
1864, and left on the 14th of the same menth in the Aus-
trian frigate Novara. The 28th May he disembarked at
Vera Cruz, and made his entry into his capital the 12th
June. Maximilian married on the 27th July, 1857, Marie
Charlotte, daughter of Leopold 1., King of the Belgians,
born 7th June, 1840. . . _
