a visit of inspection to the Russian squadron and
the French Mediterranean and Ocean fleets, as-
sembled at Cherbourg.

PARIS, MAY 22, EVENING.

The Erening Moniteur, in its bulletin, points out
the favourable impression produced in Europe by
the pacific result of the London Conference, and
adds :—" The people itself, as well as the European
Cabinets, pay a tribute to the moderation of the
attitude and language of the Imperial government,
which, never separating the particular interests of
France from the general interests, obeys, in all its
proceedings and in all its acts, ideas only of ap-
peasement and concord."
The Emperor of Russia will arrive here on the
Ist June next, and intends to remain until the 11th
of that month.

The France of this evening states that the
government will sanction the discussion, by the
Chambers, of the results of the London Conference
immediately the diplomatic documents referring to
the Conference have been collected.

The same journal states that the King of Prussia
will not visit Paris till after the departure of the
Czar, about the 15th of June.
The Etendard says :—" Webelieve ourselves in a
position to state that, before the end of the pre-
sent week, • portion of the Prussian troops in
Luxemburg will be draughted to Rastadt."

Intelligence received here from Rome to the

cardinals decided upon appointing a term within
which Cardinal Andrea should be called upon to
make his defence. Should he fail to comply with
this order by the expiration of that term he
would be condemned in coatumaciant, and sen-
tenced to forfeit his right of voting in the sacred
college and at the conclave. It is asserted that at
another meeting the cardinala were of opinion that
tho financial conversion of church property pro-
posed by Italy was an inevitable necessity.

Eitaircwarrox of BEAM. The telegraph
brings us news today that the last formidable strong-
hold of 'Livery remaining in Christendom has virtually
fallen before the irresistible advance of the great move-
ment for universal freedom and equal rights. Brazil has
given the death-blow to the wicked system which has been
so long both her grievous burden and hat foul disgrace.
Henceforth every child born into the empire is free, and
in twenty years the chains will fall from the
limbs of her last surviving slave. By this de-
cree, nearly 3,000,000 blacks arc raised up from
the dust ; and though bat few of this generation can hope
to see the day of general emancipation, it is much for
them to know that the curse which rested on the parents
will no longer be transmitted to the children ; it is some-
thing that the younger of them have a bright although
distant future to look toward and to wait for. Very
likely, too, the dying institution will not be suffered to
linger out the whole of the existence which the new law
accords to it ; as the benefits of free labour to the whole
country become appreciated, fresh leAslation may h.uden
the advent of national liberty and justice.—hero York
Tribune, May 6.
BISHOP COLENSO AND HIS Ctsuoy. —Dr. Colenso,
having ascertained that no appeal is to be made against
Lord Hominy's recent julpoent, has furnished the clergy
and laity of his diocese with a declaration that he will in
future enforce obedience to his legal position as bishop of
this see. You will see the document in the papers which
will be forwarded to you. He his also addressed a cir-
cular to three licensed clergymen of the church of
England—Dean Green, Archdeacon Fearne, and the
Rev. Mr. Walton—calling upon then, to resign their
respective positions, or recognise him in his legal capacity.
The annexed is the letter referred to, which, up to the
time of closing of the mail, has not been replied to:—
" Bishopetowe March 18, 1867.—Very reverend Sir,—As
you have plainly shown by numerous acts during the past
year that you do not desire to he bound by the lain of the
united church of England and Ireland, and as it will be-
come my imperative duty to take such action in reference
to those acts as my position seems to require, I have
thought it best to offer you an opportunity of preventing
the public Kendal which the measures I shall be oblige
to take against you may cause, by resigning the license you
hold to officiate within this diocese as a minister of the
united church of England and Ireland, unless you are pre-
pared to conform yourself in all respects to the laws of that
church in future.—l am, Ise., J. W. Narsd.."—Cape
