PARIS, FR'TUT Eviante.

In the Pays M. Paulin Limayrse said, grandilo-
quently, yesterday, that the quarrel between M.
de Merode and General de Goyon would terminate
in a manner conducive to the "honour of France
and the interest of the Holy See ;" it does not get
any further to-day. Repeating its own words it
says, " Our hopes will not be disappointed ;" not,
observe, that its hopes are realised. It is plain
that the affair is hung up. All that the Pays now
goes in for is the dismissal of De Merode, and that
miserable satisfaction, which would settle nothing,
the Pope, I am quite persuaded, will not grant.
Indeed, but for the Pope's obstinacy on that point
the scandalous affair, which was bottled up for
nearly three weeks, would never have been made
public. The ultramontane journals mats great
fun by reprinting the paragraphs by which, on
July 15, the Pays, Pattie, and Moniteur menda-
ciously denied the fact of the quarrel, rumours of
which bad then already reached the public.
The Temps has heard that the Emperor has
written or will write an autograph letter to the
Pope or General de Goyon upon the above subject,
and asks that the letter may be made public.
The Bishop of Rodez, in ordering masses in his
diocese for the soul of Prince Adam Crartoryski,
goes out of his way to direct prayers for all op-
pressed peoples, and especially for " Ireland, which
has been a martyr for three centuries," and for
"Italy, now suffering all the horrors of revolu-
tion." The prelate also desires to pray for the
entire reversal of that anarchical and impious sys-
tem which threatens to throw the world back into
that " barbarous state of pagan or Mriesulman
Ciemarism from which it was happily delivered by
the gospel" It is cheap and easy for the ultra-
montanista to affect liberality with regard to the
Poles, and the dodge may possibly make a few
dupes. Real liberals sympathise with Poland be-
cause it is politically oppressed by Russia ; but
the papal clergy, which hates political liberty, only
cares for the Poles because they are catho-
lice, and because it would gladly weaken the
Greek church by transferring a certain num-
ber of subjects from the Czar to the Pope.
Moreover, the priests know that practically
the Polish question is not the one upon which the
force of liberal opinion in Europe can act with the
greatest ad vantage at the present time. The prospect
of Ireland coming under the dominion of the Pope
is so very remote, that his agents may safely make
the largest promises in such a contingency. But in
Italy a liberal government is almost achieved, and
may reasonably be impacted to be completed from
day to day ; and therefore it is that the bishops
adroitly mix up prayers for freedom in Poland
and Ireland with their intriguer for the restoration
of tyranny in Italy. The Emperor, of course, will
appreciate the Bishop of Rodes's anxiety about
pagan Centrism.
Madame Gouverneur Horiot, the wife of a valet
of the Duke d'Aumale, was yesterday convicted of
the offence of bringing over to France ten copies of
the duke's pamphlet in a pot marked " preserves."
She alleged that the servants at Twickenham

packed ni her luggage, and that she did not know
of the pamphlets being there. The court, taking a
lenient view of the case, only sentenced her to pay
a fine of 25fr.

The Bourse was very buoyant to-day. The
Rent* rose bc. for cash and 10c. for account,
closing at 68fr. sr. and 681 r. 20c. Mobilier rose
sfr. The Lyons and Southern railways rose
7fr. 50c. each, and the other lines from 2fr. &)c.
