The stories, those of the Muititeur included,
about the progress of M. Tonelli's mission at
Horne must be received with the greatest reserve.
All this while the Pope has only seen him once.
Cardinal Antonelli has not seen bins since the
Saturday before Christmas-day, when he told him
that in consequence of the holidays they could not
have another meeting till after the Feast of the
Circumcision (January 1). M. Tonelli, finding
that he was doing nothing, asked his government
for leave to go to Florence for ten days, but M.
Ricasoli thought tit to refuse the permission, fear-
ing that his absence from Rome might lead to the
belief that negotiations were broken off.
The trial for the Champerret murders was brought
to a conclusion yesterday before the permanent
court-martial of Paris, presided over by Colonel
Ruuz, commanding the '9th Regiment of the Line.
During the two days that the trial lasted the hall

while they ii ere in the house a creditor of the
landlord called for some money, and the latter
offered him 200 fr, on account, which he declined
to accept, saying he would call another day for the
whole. It teas admitted, however, by the prosecu-
tion that us, robbery was committed, and that
there was no proof id any having been contem-
plated. The men hail fair characters in their
regiments, and both wore the Crimean and Italian
medals. The court found then' guilty of asmas-

both t, • ili All.
A circumstance which told materially against
the prisoners was that, according to that medical
evidence, Vitte, the landlord, who was moat griev-
ously injured, must have been attacked in his
sleep, and he had no recollection of any struggle.
The Chaidperr, t affair is used as an additional
and weighty argument on behalf of the growing
opinion that ash:Mrs when off duty should not be
