BERLIN, MARCH 20.

The semi-official Provincial Correspondence of this
evening says :—" The treaties of alliance between
Prussia and Bavaria and Baden, which are pub-
lished, now that the grounds for keeping them
secret no longer exist, afford us the certainty that
the lino of the Maine is not a boundary dividing
national unity, and that the national power is now
more strongly established than ever. Germany
and Europe will see in these facts a pledge for the
preservation of peace."

The Opinion of this evening, alluding to the

arisen from the fact of interviews having taken

Up to the present, however, these interviews
justify no positive conclusions."

A proclamation has been issued at Froeinone,
offering a reward of GOO midi for the capture of
every brigand, dead or alive, and 1,200 scudi for

in hopes that a diplomatic solution of the question
will be arrived at.

Interpellations have been addressed to the Greek
Government in the Chamber in reference to the
despatches received from the governments of Eng-

was impossible to stop the commercial and contra-
band expedition of arms and munitions of war.

is not to threaten or conquer Turkey, but to place
the Christian inhabitants of the Turkish empire
upon an equal footing with the Mussulmans.

ROME.

(mom ova erzcw, col

ROME, MARCH 15,
Although the news seems much too good to be
true, it is nevertheless a fact which no longer
admits of any kind of doubt, that, called in by
special invitation from the Vatican, the troops of
Victor Emmanuel are at this moment in possession
of the two southern Pontifical provinces, known
under the names of Maritime and Campagna re-
spectively, the former of which has Terracina fo-
its chief town, and the latter Frosinone. The
importance of this gratifying piece of intelligence,
which 11, ringing through Rome this morning, ap-
pears to me so considerable that I lose no time in
putting you in possession of the bare fact, without
waiting for the details, which we shall probably
learn shortly.

That it was only the very direst necessity which
drove the Pontifical government to apply to Victor
Emmanuel for the loan of soldiers I need hardly
explain. For the fact is, that, having to choose,
on the one hand, between the apparently suicidal
measure of calling in Italian troops toprotect them,
or, on the other, altogether abandoning the unfor-
tunate inhabitants of the southern provinces to the
mercy of the brigands, the Holy Father came to
the creditable decision of pocketing his pride, and
applying to the King of Italy for assistance. Be-
fore acceding to the request of the Pope the
Italian government is reported to have made the
single stipulation that Italian troops should not be
called upon to co-operate with the Pontifical
Zouaves, against whom so bitter a feeling is spread
throughout Italy, as well as the Roman States,
that it were earnestly to be desired that the regi-
ment be forthwith disbanded.

That the personal influence of the Holy Father,
which is only too seldom powerfully exerted, should
have availed to carry through the College of Cardi-
nals, where it met with a strong opposition, so im-
portant a measure as that of a resolution to apply
to Victor Emmanuel for assistance, seems indeed
a happy augury for the future, and leads one to
hope that it is yet possible that Pio Nono may
break loose from the influence of Antonelli, and, in
his last days, recover at least a portion of his former
extraordinary popularity.
It was rumoured yesterday in Rome that the
unfortunate Polini, Prince Orsini's agent, who was
lately carried off from the estate of Fossa Nuova, in
the Pontine marshes, and for whose ransom 6,000
scudi were paid to the brigands, had notwithstand-
ing been shot by orders of Andreozzi, the chief of
the band.

I am requested, in the name of the Roman free-
masons, to let it be known that they have for-
warded a subscription of 500 francs to the com-
mittee formed in Paris for the purpose of erecting
a memorial to Voltaire.

FENIAN OBJECTS EXPLAINED BY A

FENIAN.

The Paris Liberti of Tuesday publishes a letter
of which the following is a translation :

81r,—Permit me to ray a few words in reply to an arti-
cle entitled " The Insurrection of the Fenian", published
by yes in the Liberti of the 17th Mareh, 1867. M. W. de
Fonvielle, the writer of the article in question, is certainly
ignorant of our plans, our resources, and our organisation ;
but what he cannot and ought not to be ignorant of is our
object and our principles, affirmed in a proclamation ren-
dered public by the English, Belgian, and German papers.
We have wished to efface from the opinion of the people.
the reproach of Castelfidardo, and give to the world a gsuge
of our republican principles and our social aspirations.
That is why we have inscribed in capital letters upon our
proclamation this sentence—" We aim at founding a re-
public based on universal suffrage, which shall secure to
all the intrinsic value oh their labour." The national soil,
the abolition of salaries, and the republican form based on
universal suffrage, such is what is desired by the Ireland
of 1867, regenerated by the stay of its exiles in America.
What WIN that in common with the programme of
John Bright ? Not even universal suffrage, which
he is against. Why then would you fasten us to
the skirts of one man' We are a people and a prin-
ciple—that is to say, the eternal and the abeolute,
Can • principle be vanquished? Why, therefore, do you
say we are vanquished! Did not Christianity commence
by defeats? Did it not, like ua,water the ground with the
blood of its martyrs? Ours yield in nothing to those of
the primitive ages, and if their voices, stifled in the dun-
goons of England, could come here to protest against your
strange advice, and your still stranger criticisms, not one
would use any other language than that which I use to you
at this moment in their name and in that of all prole-
tarian Ireland. Our movement is only commencing, and
is not about to finish. As to battles, we shall avoid instead
of seeking them until we are strong enough to gain them.
As for our alliance with the English reformers, it is a fait
amoral:di ; if you doubt it you have only to read the reso-
lutions adopted at the last meeting. But by reformers we
understand those who mean to go radically to the bottom
of the movement, and not those who officially assume the
direction of it. I add that • nation and a principle are
strong enough to await all from time without ever claiming
extenuating circumstances even from the generosity of
another nation. The insurrection, or rather the revolution,
ollows the course it ought to follow. Compromised for an
instant by the unskilful seal of some leaders who, like ns,
love to give battle, it has resumed its tranquil course ; our
men no more die of hunger and cold than fear the English
flying columns ; and the reform of Mr. J. Bright will not
prevent any member of the organisation from being at his
post, or from doing his duty in conformity with the orders'
of the provisional government. I avail myself of this cir-
cumstance to appeal to the sympathy of the generous
people of France in favour of our cause.:l am, &c.,

M. GARRER'S STATUE OF ADAM SMITH.
H. Gasser, an eminent artist of Vienna, has executed a
statue of this great economist. The statue is rather larger
than life, and the material is the finest statuary marble.
The artist has composed the likeness from the only two
existing portraits of Adam Smith, with remarkable genius
and fidelity. Some photographs of the model and of the
statue, now nearly finished, and a small facsimile in
plaster, have been exhibited for some time past in the
reading-room of the Bodleian Library, and have been
greatly admired. The artistic merits of the statue have
been certified by Mr. Lumley, her Majesty's Minister at
Dresden ; by Mr. Mallet, who lately negotiated the com-
mercial treaty with Austria; by M. Ruben, the director of
the Imperial Academy of Arts at Vienna; by M. Von
Engert, the director of the Imperial Academy of Pictures ;
by Baron Sicken, the curator of the Imperial Museum
of Antiquities, and sworn arbiter in questions of
Art ; and by M. Mulnitx, an eminent sculptor of Vienna.
M. Gasser engages to deliver the finished statue at any
British port for the sum of 700/., a very moderate sum for
a work of great beauty and merit. In the belief that the
erection of the statue in some one of the buildings belong-
ing to the university would be a fitting tribute to the
memory of one among the moat illustrious persons who
have received their education in Oxford, the following
gentlemen have agreed to act as a committee, with a view
to purchasing the statue and presenting it to the Uni-
versity of Oxford--The Right Hon. Lord Taunton, the
Right Hon. the Lord Justice General of Scotland, the
Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., the Very Rev. the
Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, the Master of Balliol,
and the Rev, Jame! E. There'd Rogers, Professor of
Political Economy at Oxford. Subscriptions in aid of this
fund may be paid to the Master of Balliol, treasurer; to
Professor Rogers, secretary ; to the Old Bank, Oxford ; or
to Messrs. Coutts and Co., 59, Strand.
Handel's great oratorio, Israel in Egypt, will be
given at Exeter-hall on Wednesday, the 27th, by the Na-
tional Choral Society, with a band and chorus of 700 per-
formers. Conductor, Mr. 0. W. Martin.

THE MUSICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.

This institution, founded in 1858, commenced
its ninth mason last night, with a concert of such im-
portance, as to afford good augury of the future of a
society which should run a long career of prosperity,
now that there is so large a public for performances of
great orchestral works. It will be seen from the following
programme that the concert of last night was one of solid
and sterling interest. .

The uncertainty attaching to the racing st Warwick has had
