Although the Emperor's speech to Cardinal Don-
net, Archbishop of Bordeaux, is so carefully worded
as not to commit France to any particular course of
action with regard to Rome, there can be little
doubt that it will be generally uoderstood u con-
veying a rebuke to the bishops for their late turbo-
lent demonstration. Through all the politeness and
deference with which the Emperor, as a catholic
monarch, thinks it right to address a prince of the
church, pleading in his own diocese the cause of his
Pope, there runs a very perceptible vein of pungent
irony which comes exceedingly apropos. The car-
dinal went a long way. lie plainly threatened
the Emperor to his face with the Divine wrath
unless he "remained faithful" to the Christian
policy (meaning thepolicy of supporting the temporal
power of the Pope) to which he attributed the
" prosperity and the glories" of his reign. The
Emperor adroitly parried the archbishop's home-
thrust. Instead of manifesting any displeasure at
having hie own words pronounced on a former occa-
sion thrown in his tie), he professed to be much
obliged to the cardinal archbishop for reminding him
of them. But fire from promising, as the bishop
would have him do, to restore the Pope's authority
in the Romagnsa by force, he insinuates that his own
bumble opinion that the Pope's temporal power is
not inconsistent with the liberty and independence
of Italy must remain a dead letter until everybody
else agrees with him. Thus he stands forth at once
as • meek and dutiful son of the church,
so far as his own conscience is concerned, and at the
same time as a moderate, long-sufferiep, tolerant,
and considerate sovereign, who cannot think of im-
posing hie own views upon other nation., who have
as good a right to their opinions as he has. When
he Whiles to the probable consequences of the with-
drawal of the French army from Rome, " which
cannot be long delayed," he plainly indicates his
belief that if the Pope persist* in his obstinate
refusal of all reform he m■y lose Rome itself, let
alone the question of the Romagnas, which the
speech leaves quite open. When he deprecates
" useless alarms" and appeals to " ardent passions
he obviously censures the bishop of Orleans and hie
mitred followers, and when he recommended theclergy
calmly to seek the truth, and to pray that Provi-
dence may enlighten both populations and kings us
to the wise exercise of their rights and the extent
of their duties," he plainly means that hitherto the
bishops have prayed too mach that people might be
taught to know their duties, and not enough that
kings might learn not to exceed their rights.
The Preue construes the speech as inflieing an
indirect censure upon some of the episcopal demon-
strations.

The Opinisu Nationak thinks it remarkable for
its "moderation and the aignificaust precision of
its language."
The Patris speaks of it as " moat apropos."

The Emperor sod Emprese, who have had •
soaking wet day for their joarary, are expected at

St. Cloud this evening. To-morrow there will be
a council of nainieters and a grade reception in the
evening.
It is reported that the Prince Napoleon is going to
pay an incognito visit to England.
Count de Kiwislef left Paris this morning for
Warsaw, to meet the Emperor of Russia, who, as
you are already aware, has summoned most of his
representatives at foreign courts to attend him there
on the 18th instant.

Madame Ch.:Teta, the mother of the girl accused
of stealing Judge Hue's child, has been released
from custody, the judge of initi action considering,
after a long investigation, that there is not sufficient
evidence to charge her uan accomplice. The girl
herself stands committed, and her trial will probably
come on at the Paris Assize Cont. in the first fort-
night in November. _ .

The Bonne has been dull. There is so little
fluctuation in the Rent* that speculators are indis-
posed to operate. The Bordeaux speech, showing
that in the Emperor's mind the difficulties of the
Roman question are very great,was not encouraging,
but inasmuch u it indicates no change in the
political situation, it had scarcely any effect on the
market one way or the other. The Bente fell 100.
for cash, and 6c. for account, closing at 69fr. 60c. in
each case. 31obilier fell 3fr. 75c. The Orleans
railway fell 7fr. 50c. ; Lyons and Western, 2(r. 60c.
each ; in the other lines there was scarcely any
change.
