PARIS. THOLIDAT EVIVIING.
You will remember my telling you about a week
Ago that the goveniment journals would very soon
he instructed to accww England of an intention to
taki. Sicily, and so confident was I in the source
my information that, altli.mgh fully alive to the
.Longer" which beset a corrtepondent who ventures
to prophecy, I added that I should probably soon
nmind you of my prediction. It happened, by the
ourre*t Accident, that I hail become aware of the
iistetstiou of the Emperor to dictate this line of
t.ictice ; and I was, therefore, very sure that, ea-
.i.pt in the event of a change of purpose, which
pi.isibly my denunciation of the coming event
might have contributed to bring about, no lung
tune would elapse between conception and execu-
tom. The time for the fulfilment of my pledge has
ni.w arrived. I read in a limiting article of this
.vening's Patric :

bear from Palermo, ender date of lefareh Zr, that
Prince de Caatekicala, lieutenant.general of Sicily, hail just
Eft that city for Naples on leave of absence. The country

oirriation.

M. tiratwlguilh.t exclainui in the Colutitutioreael,
"At length we have before us the text of the ex-
' •ation." The "we" of M. GrantlguWot
is used in an editorial sense, and does Not mean
that the public whom he is addressing has an op-
portmity .4 forming their opinion upon the docu-
ment. It is rather presumptuous to suppose that
the French nation is content to see through M.
cratitlguillot's apectacles. The publication of the
hsull in ipestion was expressly prohibited by the
.V....iftar a few days ago. M Onuidguillot, who,
as a privileged individual, has, it would appear,
lavis allowed to see it, now demonstrates with a
cogency (1 argonaut quite sufficient for official
l'orP"se.t. that the excommunication is no
exonunitudeation at all, but only a " poli-
t teal protest from the temporal Sovereign
.4 the Ronan Stater," and that it is pre-
. i-elv hecause there is no offence in it whatever
tint the French government has taken the severest
iaeasures to keep it out of France. The Pays and
have both received orders to argue in the
-.ow way. The excommunication, they say, does

Fr. itch army continues to guard the Pope in Rome,
‘l,l the Pope's Nuncio still remains in Paris,
Ras the tint and necessary consequence of
