LLTEST nanuGENcE.
THE EMPEROR AND THE POPE.
The Meniteur of to-day publishes a decree of the
Emperor suppressing the Bretagne, published at
Saint Brieux. The report of M. Billault, the Min-
ister of the Interior, which precedes the deerse.
mentions as a reason for the suppression, the publi-
cation of an address of three deputies to the Em.
peror, which by lamenting that the incertitude being
prolonged would separate all sincere catholic* from
the cause of the Emperor is a sort of protest
against the policy of the government as regards the
Roman question. The journal Bretagne, in pub-
lishing.this address, added:—" The only reply given
to this address was the suppression of the Univers/
The minister, in his report, expresses a belief that
if the populations were consulted they would sepa-
rate themselves from the three deputies, and not
from the cause of the Emperor. "It is impossible,"
says the minister, "to tolerate the open and
almost official spread of internal division in
the midst of the inhabitants of Bretagne,
who are known u being so religious and so
devoted to the Emperor. They attempt to abuse
their faith, and to present as an enemy of the tem-
poral power, and almost of the Holy Father himself,
the prince who has given to Rome the forces to pro-
tect his Holiness."

The Moniteur also oontaina a decree appointing the
Marquis de Lavallotto as ambassador at Constan-
tinople.

ROME.

A letter from Rome in the Nord says :
" Violent measures are said to be in contempla-
' Sea here among the highest personages in the
government. The first would be the excommunica-
tion of the King of Sardinia and of the sovereigns
who may assist him ; next, the placing of their
tingdoms under interdict; then, the oonvocation
by the Pope of a general council to examine the
question whether or not the tall of the temporal
power of the Popes may not be ascribed to the im-
prudent concessions made by the holy see in con-
cordats, and whether those concessions ought not
to be retracted as contrary to the principlps of the
church. Such are the wild projects put forward by
Ultramontaniam r

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

The general dismission of the Matrimonial Law
in the First Chamber closed to-day. In the vote on
the first two paragraphs, all the amendments and
also the original proposal of the government were
rejected. The First Chamber has therefore rejected
the civil marriage in every form.
