THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENIIIO, AUGUR

EXCHEQUER grappled in detail, and it is noticeable
that he was answered by vague generalities only.
France is, as he showed, a dear country for rags ;
England, on the contrary, is not an importing
country of the material of paper. We export at
this moment in paper more than we import in
rags, though not much more than half of all the
paper we make is made of rags, and the very paper
we export is the fine paper made from imported
rap. And we export this fine paper to America, and
there outsell the French Protectionists. These are
statistics difficult to contend against, and we must
do Mr. PULLER and his associate* the justice to
say that they avoided the statistics of the case as
much as possible. The CHANCSLLOK of the Ex-
CHEQUER affirmed the broad principle that the
duty of a government is to do justice to its own
people without respect to foreign legislation. The
doctrine of the champions of the paper-makers
is that we should spite ourselves to spite the
French.

unerring accuracy —the royal train, pausing for a few

His Serene Highness the Prince Edward of
Rise-Weimar arrived yesterday on a visit to the Duke and
Duchvis of Manchester, at the Royal Pavilion Hotel, Folke-
stone.

His Excellency the Greek Minister and Madame
Triompi will shortly leave Bryanstonaquare for Germany.

PARIS, MONDAY EVETINCL

His Excellency the SWIM Minister and Madame
De la Rive and family have left town on a temporary visit
to Switzerland.

The Emperor left Paris at half-past 1 this after-
noon fur the Chalons camp, where, it is said, he
will stay till August 17. The Ministers will go
down there frequently to submit papers for his
signature.
The language of the Monitcut of August 4, which
stated that the plenipotentiaries had met on the
3rd, "to sign a convention," without going on to
aver that the convention had been signed„naturally
led to the supposition that the purpose for
which the conference was held had not been
accomplished. And turns out in fact,
from the text of the protocols published
this morning, that the signature of the " conven.
tion" is postponed until the plenipotentiaries shall
have received full powers from their sovereigns.
Nevertheless, it is said iu the protocols that the
stipulations therein contained shall be acted upon
at once, and therefore the note in the Mmdtenr,
which led to the doubt, may have been awkwardly
worded, and it may be that in reality the con-
ference did on Friday list all the business that it
was meant to do. The substance of the protocols
seems to me highly satisfactory. The intervention
now soberly agreed upon by all the powers is some-
thing widely different from that which the French
government journals were advocating a fortnight

The Bourse was extremely dull. The Route

fell 15c. fur cash and 10c. for account, closing at
4381 r. 15c. in each ease. Mobilier fell 2fr. 50c.
With the exception of the Eastern Railway, which
rose 6fr. 25c., all the lines were a trifle lower.

A rumour that K Brenier was about to be
superseded at Naples by the Duke of Malakoff is
denied by the semi-official journals—feebly by the
Pays, which says that "it does not result from
our private information that there is any founda-
tion for this report," but the Patrie avers boldly
that it is "altogether untrue."

terre," which will be published by Dent; on
Thursday, has been avowedly written by order of
government, as will be seen by the following pre-
face, to which the author's name is signed :
The following work is not, as might be supposed from
the circumstances under which it appears, an metre sic
r. reonstan,e. It was undertaken at the request of au minis-
ter of the Emperor, and with an object of general interest ;
it was not written with reference to a discussion which
cauld not have Leen anticipated. To ascertain conscienti-
wilily and accurately the state of the military and naval
forces of France and England, and to deduce useful instruc-
tion from a comparative view of two essentially different
organisations—such was the duty assigned to the author.
His task was finished some time since, when unjust recrimi-
nations were all °tome heard on the other side of the Channel.
The must incorrect allegations were made in the English
parliament, and facts which might readily have been veri-
fied were distorted. These errors, accredited as they were
by men who it might have been thought were better in-
formed, were certainly surprising : they made a great sen-
sation in Europe. Their refutation, written beforehand,
will be found in the following pages. This refutation results
abundantly from many statements of English ministers and
from a whole mass of facts collected without any view to
political discussion, and all borrowed from official docu-
ments. To show the truth, therefore, nothing more was
necessary than to send the following work to press. Never-
theless, the author did not make up his mind to take this
step without first obtaining the permission of the
minister of state, to whom he was indebted for many
valuable communications. It is therefore the whole
truth and nothing but the truth which is new sub-

mitted to the reade;. This loyal and correct exposition,

based upon authentic and irrefutable evidence, will, it is
to be hoped, restore calm and security to minds troubled
by unjustifiable apprehensions. Europe will judge whether
there is any justice .and truth in the reproach launched
against France, that she continues extravagant armaments,
and that her conduct inspires her neighbours with just
Muse for anxiety. .

The following is the concluding paragraph of
the forthcoming pamphlet :
England pushes on with a feverish anxiety that trans•
formation of her army and fleet which France is only pm•
suing gr.ulually ; England unceasingly devotes to that
object efforts and sacrifices, which her immense resources
render easy to her. Although there is nothing in the state of
Europe to call for such extraordinary efforts, France need
not necessarily be alarmed at measures which may be
prompted by nothing more than supererogatory care for
national security on the part of a great people. It is not
by the figures of the British budget, nor by the number of
English soldiers and ships, that France will judge of the
dispositions of a people which has been and which she de-
sires still to consider as her ally ; but it is by the conduct
of the London cabinet, by the policy which will prevail in
parliament, and by the attitude of the English nation. Mob
orators and party men, moved by hatreds which are no
longer of our time, may be as mistrustful and as provoking
as they please ; but if the government continues to be
friendly—if its conduct is loyal and straightforward, Eng-
land may stud her coasts with guns, and cover the seas with
her ships, without apprehending the slightest complaint or
suspicion on the part of France.

THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND THE

POPE.

The Minister of Public Instruction and Worship
in France has addressed the following circular to
the bishops on the subject of a society which has
been established for the defence of the Pope :

Monseigneur,—A society has just been formed at Lyons
to support the Holy See in all its rights, spiritual and tem-
poral ; its rule of conduct is entire submission to the chief of
the church, withont ever going beyond what he wills, but
also without incurring the least delay or manifesting the
least hesitation in the accomplishment of it ; its means are
prayer, the publication and the circulation of the best
works in favour of the Holy Apostolic See, ana the raising
of the subacriptions known under the inme of Peter's pence. It
may also employ all other means, whether transitory or

secondary, indicated by circurnstutces. The society is di-
rected by a rector and vice.rector, and is administered by a
central council sitting at Lyons,and by diocesan councils co-
operating with the latter. Finally, it corresponds with a
conimiwion of cardinals and with General de Limoricii•re.
It will appear to everybody front this faithful analysis
of the statutes of the "Archicenfrerie de Soint Pierre es
Liens," and from the circulars of the central committee,
that this society, which is principally composed of laymen,
has a political as well as a religious obxct, and that it
pertly denies the rights of the state and the obligations of
the citizen, by imposing on its members entire submission
to the sovereign pontiff without distinguishing temporal
order from the sptrituaL I add that, in reserving to itself
the facility of acting according to circumstances, and by all
the means calculated to defend Roman policy in the
external affairs in which it may be engaged,.the society
usurps a sovereign part which only belongs the govern-
ment of France; and that it assumes completely the
attitude of a secret and prohibited society by en-
deavouring to extend over the country, without any
legal authorisation, a system of enrolment and cor-
respondence, directed by a ceotral and diocesan
committee. I have not to pronounce, Monseigneur, on
the veritable intentions of the founders of this society ;
I take pleasure in believing them upright and sincere ;
but your grandeur will not the le,s admit that
such on association, which endeavours to oigauke
an occult power in the midst of the
which enrol, citizens in political enterprises, and the
means of execution of which arc undefined, may inspire
just distrust in the country, and disquietude to the govern-
ment. I run assured in advance, Monseigneur, that the
simple reading of the regulations, which will no doubt be
addressed to you, will prevent you from lending your co-
operation to this association; but I consider it opportune to
pray your grandeur to make known to arch member% ~f
your clergy as may be disposed to join it that the govern-
ment will not hesitate to dissolve a society the mere exist-
ence of which is an infraction of our peal laws. rive,

While storms, rain, and foga continue to obscure

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. PRINCE ALFRED IN THE BRAZILS.

RIO JANEIRO, Jer.T 9,
The great event of the month was the arrival of
the Eu7alus in Rio' having on board Prince Alfred.
The Eurvalus entered our port on the 29th June, and nu
the following morning the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
accompanied by the Mordomo of the Emperor, went on
board to visit his Royal Highness, the frigate saluting the
illustrious visitors on their arrival. At five o'clock in
the afternoon the Prince landed at the Arsenal, MA, toge-
ther with his tutor and the British minister, entered
one of the Emperor's carriages and paid a visit to his
;deity at St. Cluistovao. On the 2nd the royal steam
it was in waiting to take the Prince to the summer resi-
ence of the Emperor at Petropolis, which bad been duly
prepared for his reception. On the morning of the 3rd the
asci..
Emperor went on board the Etug us to lunch with his
Royal Highness, the Buzzard, , and Leopard
%
manning their yards and firing aro sante. At half-
past four the Emperor landed at the Arsenal, accora-
panied by the Prince. The British minister, Admiral
Lushington, Captain Tarleton, the Secretary of the Lega-
tion, and the officers of the Eiuyalus, had the honour of
dining with the royal party at St. Christovao, and in the
evenine., attended the theatre of San Pedro.
On the 4th a carriage of the Emperor was placed at the
disposal of the Prince, who drove to the Botanical Gardens,
Hospital of Pedro Segundo, Tijuca, dm ; and in the
evening attended at the opera-house, with the Ern.
parer and Empress, a representation of Joan d'Arc,
The principal performers were Medori and Mirate. On the
6th, a few hours after the arrival of the Magdalena, the
Earysiles left for the Cape of Good Hope.
The yellow fever has at last left us, after having made
probably as many victims as in the first year of its appear-
ance here. _ _ _ . __ ___ . _
