Doming°. The absurd character of the law has been tempered
in practice by tolerance, fitfully interrupted by ad-
monitions and prosecutions, and this will no doubt
be the case to the end of the chapter. But now
that the government chooses to be severe no lawyer
can deny that all the journals have sinned.
The Moniteur, which does not habitually report
all that the Emperor says on the occasion of the
new year's reception, contains nothing but compli-
mentary phrases of no importance. But it was
rumoured at the -Bourse, and some of the evening
papers report the fact with details, that his
Majesty, addressing the President of the Corps
Legislatif, said he hoped the Chamber would
speedily vote the Army Bill, as it was necessary
for the glory, the grandeur, the liberty, and the
prosperity of the country.
M. Emile 011ivier explains in this way his
abstention from voting on the amendment pro-
posing eight instead of nine years as the maximum
of service. The authors of the amendment agreed,
he says, with government in the principle of an
augmentation of the army. He dissents from that
principle, and thinking the bill radically bad he
will be no party to an attempt to amend it, but
will vote against it altogether at the proper time.
It seems, therefore, that so far from M. Emile
011ivier having shown any hesitation to maintain
his newly-assumed attitude as a member of tho
opposition, he, with the zeal of a convert, is more
absolutely hostile than the standing democratic
left, who, convinced that they were not strong
enough to throw out the bill, did not scorn to
attempt to render it a little less oppressive.
A letter from Ram set's that the owner of the
field of battle of Montana is desirous of selling the
property, and that some young English catholic*
recently converted have clubbed together to buy
it for the site of a church and a convent.
The Bourse opened with some firmness, but the
highest quotations of the day were not sustained.
Rents, after being done at 68fr. 624 c., closed at
68fr. 50c. for cash and 68fr. 42}c. for account, with
a rise but of 174 c. and 10c. The market was de-
cidedly heavy at the close. Italian fell 22tic.

GARDIALDI AND HIS BIRMINGHAM FRIZNDS.—
Clisond . Geribeldi, writing from Capron, on the 24th
December, to the treasurer of the Birmingham fund for
aiding the Italian Volunteers, says : " I request you to
thank for me the protestant. of Birmingham for so nobly
supporting the cause of my country, at the great meeting
held in your enlightened town on the sth November last.
.I read in your journals that your Roman catholic fellow-
citizens claim the fullest equality of civil and religious
' liberty with you ; but what is the freedom which they
grant to you in states in which they are
the most numerous and powerful ? This question
may be answered by one glance at the present
I condition of the Roman dominions. There is no
political or religious freedom whatever for those out of
*leof the Papal church. All translations of the
veld* of the Bible are strictly forbidden ;
Mesh newspapers are also interdicted if addressed to
Jailers,. For some years past a Scotch presbyterian
1 service has elated in Rome, and during the last
I three ye* :his see has been eonducted by the
Rev. James Lewis ; but • few months ago he received
• letter from Mr. Severn, the English consul, informing
him that the Governor of Rome had complained of these
illegal meetings, sad that he had placed himself within
the power of the Inquisition, which scald sentence him
either to imprisonment or exile ; and that if the Scotch ser-
vices were not at nos discontinued the Inquisition would
certainly claim its victim. The case was then laid before

he did not conceal that it was the Pops himself who had
•014 the legitimation to sot. The Church of ROOM do-
, clues that she is infallible, eternal, unchangeable ; and in
an allocution of the present Pap to the cardinals, in Sep-
tember, 1651, he states that the catholic, religion, with
all its rights, ought to be exclusively dominant in each
sort that every other worship shall be hanshed and in-
terdicted. In the same allocution the Po* explains also
that by eodesiastical liberty is meant " the free exercise
of their prr episcopal jurisdiction by the butups.'
