ALLOCUTION OF THE POPE.

ROIIE, FEB. 22.

At a secret consistory held this morning, the
Pope announced his intention to canonize Brother
Leaner& of Porto Maarizsio. His Helium then
delivered a short allocution, in which he adverted
to his letter to King Victor Emanuel in 1865,
written with the object of providing for the vacant
bishoprics, and declared that the negotiations for
that purpose, which have now been resumed, were
not broken off through the fault of the Holy See.
His Holiness lamented the fact that the bishops
whom he sends to empty churches will find their
property appropriated and their religious congrega-
tions expelled, adding, "They will findafiliction and
misery ; nevertheless, we send them for the salva-
tion of souls. They will go in the name of Jesus
Christ, confiding in the protection of the Mother of
God." His Holiness concluded by stating that it
was not expedient to say more in the present state
of things ; but unless God interposed, the future
was clearly to be foretold by the deplorable events
which have already taken place. " Nevertheless/
said his Holiness, "we must rely upon
the protection of Heaven to change our
sorrow into joy." The Pope then announced that
he had preconised several bishops, and hoped to
be able to increase the number at future consis-
tories. The number of bishops preconised this
morning is thirty, two of whom are for France,
three for the island of Sardinia, four for Pied-
mont, two for Sicily, four for Tuscany, two for the
Marches, two for the patrimony of St. Peter, five
for Hungary, one for Bavaria, one for Ireland, and
five in partibas.

THE CORPS LEGISLATIF.
PARIS, Pm 22.

In to-day's sitting of the Corps Leilalatif the
question addressed to the government, on the sub-
ject of the circular of the director of the post-
office, came on for discussion.

M. Pelletan made a speech condemning the cir-
cular, and was replied to by M. Vandal. M.
Picard followed, in a speech in which he insisted
that the issue of the circular was unjustifiable.
M. Rouher acknowledged that the course taken
by M. Vandal was irregular. He stated that the
agents of theionst-office detained those letters which
appeared to be of a suspicious character, in order
to send them to the magistrates. " The agents of
the post-office," he added, have not the right to
take the initiative in matters of this kind. They
should await orders.

M. Martel subsequently declared that the
minister having expressed disapproval of the cir-
cular, the opposition had nothing more to say on
the subject.
The simple order of the day was then adopted by
an immense majority.
