PARIS. SUNDAY ETINING.

Under the pressure of repeated questions in the
English parliament the French government, in order
to support the st‘tement that Count Walewski dis-
claimed any intention on its part to annex Savoy
and Nice, has ordered M. Grandgaillot to sign an
article in the Coosatitutionriel averring that the agi-
tation on the subject is due entirely to the indepen-
dent initiative of the French press, guided by na-
tional instinct and a tense of what is right, and that
the government has nothing whatever to do with it.
It is scarcely worth while to question the veracity
of an article which is not intended to be believed.
I may, however, state sea matter of fact that nobody
here attaches the slightest credit to its statements.
The Pays and Pattie do not deem it worth a single
line of node.. The Pelisse says :—" The real meaning
of all these reticence., disavowals, and affirmations
seems to be that the annexation question, after
having long entered the phase of diplomatic negotia-
tions, now meets with certain difficulties which the

over-eagerness of the semi-official journals did not
anticipate. The Opinion Rationale thinks the
article of the Constitutionnel, for which it ironically
says that journal is of course solely responsible, is
not very honourable to the prew, and mast tend to
make foreigners believe that the French journals
have no initiative of their own, and act exclusively
under the orders of the government."

Count Walewski tells all his friends that Lord
John Russell misrepresented the effect of his com-
munications to Lord Cowley, and that, far from
denying the imputation, he frequently told the
English Ambassador that in a given came France
must have Savoy.
The Pope's encyclical letter was read this morn-
ing from the pulpit of all the churches in Paris,
together with a short mandate from the Cardinal
Archbishop of Paris, calling the attention of the
faithful to the protestations of the Holy Father,
that he was ready to die for the faith.
I learn from a good source that the Pope has
made another speech extremely hostile to France.
The telegram has been kept back from the public;
but I hear that the Pope told General Goyon to
his face that the church was " persecuted" by his
master.

The Journal des Villes et Campagnes contradicts
the statement iihich you received by telegraph, but
which never appeared in this correspondence, that
the Univers is about to be published in Brussels.
It treats the rumour as a calumny which, u the
Univers is extinguished, it desires to refute for the
honour of its memory. The Univers will not sup-
ply any other journal to its subscribers, but in •
circular, dated January 30, it promises to let them
know what means will be taken to compensate
them for the amouut of their current subscriptions.
Vice-Admiral Charner, whose appointment to the
command of the French fleet in the Chinese waters
I announced yesterday, proposes to leave Paris for
his post on Feb.lo; he will take the overland pas-
sage by way of Suez.

It is stated that the National Guard of Paris is
about to be reorganised and divided into legions, and
that a corps of mounted police (serge's, de rink) is
to be created for the better security of the city.

The election of the Rey. Pere Lacordaire to be a
member of the French Academy would, at any time, be an
laterestiag event. The unsettled dispute with the church
attaches to the oiroumsterior something like a political im-
portance. "Father Loom&he," says a letter tram
Paris, "Rill passably sit in the academy wearing
the same white robe of a Dominican friar with
which he startled the National Assembly of 1848,
whin be descended from his seat by the side
of Lamennais to make profession of his ultra-republic= faith.
Misery, they say, makes us acqnsiated with strange bed-
fellows. M. de Villeamin, the Voltairea• of 1830, embrac-
ing Father Laoordaire, the red republican of 1848, and both
united In • holy league with this liugnenot and that
Fusionist in support of nltramontanism, is a sight passing
strange. The academy will henceforth number amongst Its
members the famous forty charged with the preservation of
the dictionary from dal:Sous words, the Bishop of Orleans
and Father Lacordaire forming a union of literary and
spiritual authority likely to outlive an analogous combina-
tion fur which the learned body seems to to seized with a
new-tangled admiration."

Gaily/04*i says, the sale of Lord Hoary Seymour's
*we took place yesterday, In pretence of a vary large se-
serebisge of hvers of the meetlea weed. The bidding was
spirited, no cigar being sold under ten sons, and in several

Janes I. of Bullhead could revisit the earth for a day he
owtelaly would wish to withdraw without delay in disgust
at seeing kis CotesteriGuit to Tobacco so completely dice-

CONFUSION 11068 g CONPOOMDZD.—We have re-
ceived the following communication from Yr. Renter's
Mare: Paris, Ennday, Feb. 6.—A flow days ago Lord
Cowley communicated to M. Thonvemal a project of the
Englieh whined for the definitive settlement of the It.l'an
qusetion. This project conteios the following point.:
1. The principle of non•intermation to be applied in an
absolute sea... 2. Venetia to remain aside from all negotia-
tions oncoming new territorial arrangements, and 0 eon, i cue
nectar the Austrian rule. 3. The inhabCanta 0 Central
Italy to be again invi•ed to vote on their own constitution.
Should they pronounce themselves for snnexation with Sar-
dinia, the latter power to be authorised to sec implisit their
wishes. 4. Sardinia to abstain from every measure destined to
favour the annexation until the new vote of the Italian states
has taken place. 5. Franc, to withdraw her troops from
Rome, sad from the other parte of Italy. Y. Thouzest
after having received the orders of the Emperor, declared
that the French rectum:watt, before giving a definitive ea-
ewer to the propositions of the English cabinet, thought it
ladispawshie to be informed of the views of Austria. The
courier bearing the reply of Austria is not expected at Paris
before the end et tills week."
