POLAND.

The Drestkn Journal contains accounts from
Warsaw, which state that the arrest of the Canon
Ilialobrzeski, which took place on the night of the
13th, has produced a great sensation. After the
late death of the archbishop, the canon was ap-
pointed administrator of the diocese of Warsaw,

and it was he who ordered the churches to be
closed. He is now a prisoner in the citadel, where
are also confined the Jewish rabbis of the city.
The following circular has been addressed, by the
military chief of the district of Gostyn, to the
mayors of the communes :

born, Nov.

It has come to the knowledge of the Lieutenant of the
kingdom of Poland, that, in spite of the declaration of the
slate of siege, in many districts agitation and the sing-
ing of rerolutionary brans continues in the churches,
and that it is chiefly women of the rich and the
middle classes who are moat guilty. Consequently
the Lieutenant of the kingdom has deigned to
decree that some buildings sufficiently large be set apart
for ladies of the upper classes who are arrested for violating
the rules relating to the state of siege.

IOPENING OF THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT.
TURIN, Nov. 20, Eviwnro.
_

The Italian parliament was re-opened to-day.
In the Chamber of Deputies Baron Ricaaoli, Pre-
sident of the Council, explained the present state
of the Roman question. He said that he had drawn.
up • plan of reconciliation between religion and
liberty, and between the state and the church.
He had requested the Emperor Napoleon to be-
come mediator, but, owing to the little disposition
to conciliation on the part of the Roman court, the
mediation had not been attended with any result.

Baron Ricasoli then laid on the table of the
house the documents relating to this project of ar-
rangement.
The project contains eleven articles, of which the
following is a luminary :—" The Pope and the
Cardinals are to preserve their dignity and inviola-
bility. Full liberty is guaranteed to the Sove-
reign Pontiff for his acts of divine rights as chief
of the church. The Pope is empowered to send
nuncii to communicate with the bishops and the
faithful, and to convene synods and councils
without the intervention of the government.
The King of Italy renounces his right in respect of
ecclesiastical beLefices. The Italian government
also relinquishes all right of interference in the
nomination of bishops. The King of Italy will
guarantee to:the Pope a certain revenue."

- The eleven articles are preceded by an address to
the Pope, accompanied by a letter to Cardinal
Antonelli, requesting him to give the plan a
favourable consideration.

A note addressed by Baron Ricasoli to the Che-
valier di Nigra was also laid on the table of the
house. It instructs the Sardinian minister at
Paris to request the good offices of France in order
to bring this project before the Pope, and says
that should the proposals it contains be
rejected, the Italian government could not,
without difficulty, restrain the impatience of
the people who claim Rome as their capital.
After the speech of Barou Ricasoli, an animated

1 discussion took place on the state of things in the
Neapolitan provinces.
The Chamber resolved on discussing the state of
things in Naples at the same time as the Roman
question.

TURIN, Nov. 2L

The Opinion of to-day says :
"The proposals for the partition of Italy, men-
tioned by the Daily News, originated with powers
who have not the courage to declare themselves
either favourable or opposed to Italy, but who
would wish to play a part in European politics
which their position does not permit them to
assume."
