PARIS, Nov. 10.

The Moniteur of to-day says :—" The Minister
for Public Worship has addressed a reply to the
letter of the Bishop of Nimes, in which he ex-
presses his regret that the latter should have de-
parted from the rules of propriety and moderation.
He entreats the bishop henceforth to abstain from
addressing him any letters on religious or political
affairs, containing insinuations and violent expres-
hiooB, and concludes by saying that be could not
give a suitable reply to such letters without much
pain to himself and serious injury to the cause of
religion, whose ministers must be respected, even
when they deviate from the paths of wisdom and
charity."

ITALY.

TURIN, Nov. 10.

The Opinion of to-day maintains that the recent
article in the Paya on the necessity of replacing
Baron Ricasoli by Siguor Ratazzi is opposed to the
alliance between France and Italy. inasmuch as the
policy of the prwient beat! of the Italian ministry is
founded on that allianoe.

"The Pays," says the Opiniose, "would have
an alliance based on the supremacy of France, but
Italy would not allow her Ministers to be imposed
upon her by any foreign Power.
" The Pays said the other day that Italy ought
to renounce her claims to Rome, but we declare
that a Minister who shared in such ideas could not
hold office in Italy."

" His Highness the Prince received on Sunday a
deputation of the Central Commission entrusted to
present to him the address relative to the union of
the two legislative chambers of Jassyand Bucharest.
The Prince replied as follows :
" 'Gentlemon,—l receive with gratitude the wish
expressed by the Central Commission for the union
of the two Principalities. There can no longer
exist any doubt sato the reality of this desire being
shared by all the Roumans. Union has become the
political religion of our country. Since my acces-
sion to the throne of Roumania, it has been the
constant subject of all my thoughts, and the object
of all my efforts. You are aware that the high
suzerain court and the great guaranteeing powers,
whose generous sympathies are known, are now
occupied iu realising this wish of our country,
which can alone consolidate the future of the Prin-
cipalities.'"

THE REMOVAL OF GENERAL FREMONT.
THE NAVAL EXPEDITION AND THE
SLAVES.
NEW YORK, Om 30.

On the 26th of October, the order of the Com-
mander-in-Chief that General Fremont should
surrender his command to the officer next below
him, General Hunter, accompanied by a letter of
instructions to General Hunter, was sent out by
the President by • special Juessenger to General
Curtiss, in command at St. Louis, with directions
to the latter to deliver it to General Fremont,
unless he was actually in the presence of the
enemy or preparing for • battle.
The Secretary of War has issued the following
instructions to the commander of the naval expe-
dition in regard to the disposition of slaves:

" War Department, Oct. 14.

" Sir,—ln conducting military operations within
states declared by the proclamation of the
President to be in a state of insurrection, you will
govern yourself so far as persona held to service
under the laws of such states are concerned
by the principles of the letters addressed by me
to Major-General Butler, on May 30 and August 8,
copies of which are herewith forwarded to you. As
special directions adapted to special circumstances
cannot be given, much must be referred to your
own discretion as commanding general of the expe-
dition. You will, however, in general avail your-
self of the services of any persons, whether fugitives
from labour or not, who offer them to the national
government ; you will employ such persons in such
services as they may be fitted for either as ordinary
employlis, or, if special circumstances seem to re-
quire it, in any other capacity, with such organisa-
tion in squads, companies, or otherwise, as you
deem most beneficial to the service. This, how-
ever, not to mean a general arming of them fur
military service. You will assure ALI loyal masters
that Congress will provide just compensation to
them for the loss of the services of the persons
so employed. Is is believed that the course
thus indicated will best secure the substantial
rights of loyal masters, and the benefits
to the United States of the services of
all disposed to support the government,
while it avoids all interference with the
social systems of local institutions of every
state beyond that which insurrection makes un-
avoidable, and which • restoration of peaceful
relations to the union under the constitution will
immediately remove.—Respectfully,
" SIMON CAMEII.OI4, Secretary of War.

DEATH OP ONOPIPROY ST. HILAIRE.

A telegram from Paris this morning informs us
of the death of the celebrated French naturalist, Geoffroy St.
Hilaire, eon of the famous Etienne Geoffroy St. Hilaire,
who died in 1844. The deceased was born at Paris in 1803.
The example and the teachings of his father inspired
him even in his childhood with • taste for the natural
sciences, to the study of which he devoted
himself with untiring ardour and remarkable success. In
1826 he presented to the Institute • numoire upon the
mammalia, and he was but 21 when elected • member of the
Academy, which was then presided over by his father.
He was sueoeseively Professor of Zoology at the Mown;
Director of the Menagerie, Inspector-Ueneral, Councillor
of the University, k.c. Among the later movements with
which his name is more especially connected, was the estab.
lishment of the Imperial Zoological Society of Acclimatise-
lion, of which he was the president. The deceased
has often caused amusement, both in his owe country
and out of it, by the pertinacious effort, which he
made to introduce the use of horseflesh as a staple article
of human food ; on more than one occasion he presided
at banquets where horses 'applied the material for almost
every dish.

DR. CULLEN AND SIR ROBERT PEEL.

The Right Rev. Dr. Cullen has addressed a letter
to the Roman catholic claw of the diocese of Dublin on
the subject of a COMICOOD thmtly to be made on behalf of
the Catholic University, in which, after urging the necessity
of supporting that establishment, " in order to preserve the
liberties of catholic education, and to defeat the perfidious
schemes of their enemies to undermine and destroy the
faith banded down by their forefathers," he proceeds to
refer to the project of the present Secretary of State (Sir
Robert Peal), to establish and endow a Queen's College
in that city—the principle of which is strongly de-
nounced by the rev. doctor. He then proceeds to as,:
"Our Secretary of State, in his zeal to promote the condemnsd
system, has, it is said, given amend endowments to the
Queen's Collette ; and, as if anxious to increase the number of
the few unhappy catholice who set at defiance the decisions
of the church, he has been writing lettere to catholic gen-
tlemen, or otherwise communicating with them, for the put.
pose of inducing them to imitate his own example by en-
dowing scholarships or exhibitions. I make this state.
meat on the best authority ; it is open to Sir Robert Peel
to contradict it, if it be not correct. We are told it is
through love for the catholic. of Ireland that the zeal
of the Secretary of State is so naive in this matter. I
cannot adopt this view. Ido not pretend to judge Sir Ro-
bert's merely political opinions ; hut, in a religious point of
view, I do believe that he is a most determined enemy of
everything catholic. He began his career by destroying the
infitienceofthe catholic. of Switzerland ; he has lately vented
his anger on the catholic.of Spain, wham he formerly laboured
with the zeal of an Exeter-ball enthusiast. Hie eulogies of
the arch revolutionist and enemy of the church, Count 'De-
vour, still echo through the halls of Westminster ; and I
need scarcely add that, ou every occasion, he has displayed
the bitterest hostility to the venerable Pontiff who fills the
chair of Peter, and to the institutions of the holy catholic
church."

After giving extracts from the right hon. baronet's
speeches in support of these statements, the doctor, in con-
clusion, says, " As Sir Robert Peel has so openly and so em-
phatically declared his hostility to our holy religion, I need
scarcely ask—will the catholicof Ireland be guided by hie
counsel In affairs connected with religion and conscience!
Will they allow him to take into his Lends the education
of their children ?'

GENERALS TURK AND GARIBALDI.

General Turr has addressed the following letter
to the Morturehia Nazionak of Turin :
" TURIN, Nov. T.

"Sir,—l see in your journal of to-day a paragraph
which concerns myself. To avoid all equi-
vocal interpretation, I think it necessary to
repeat the words uttered to me by Gene-
ral Garibaldi, and which I have reported
to my colleagues and other friends :

" 'I do nut think we ought to carry armed insur-
rection either to Venetia or to Rome. But I think
it necessary that, in place of this, we should arm
by every possible means, and prepare to act, on the
occasion, vigorously and together towards oonqueeing
the entire right of the nation. My motto is ever,
Italy with Victor Emmanuel ! Let him who thinks
otherwise withdraw from the committee, and act as
he pleases ; but let him not avail himself of my
name.'—l salute you, and remain, etc.,

(BT TELEGRAPH To HALIFAX).
The following official atatenicut ham been received
here :

" The power of the loyal States girl's the rebels
closer and closer.

"Five hundred thousand troops on land are
stretching from Kansas to Cape Hatteras, and are
slowly but surely pushing the rebellion into the
interior°, the slave States, where it will inevitably
perish.
" There is no abatement of the military spirit in
the States now that the harvest has fully ended.
Volunteers for the war fill up the regitneuts with
astonishing alacrity, and it is unquestionable that
the determination to restore the Union and accept
no compromise whatever with the slavery propaga-
tionists increases daily.

"The annual fall elections in the North and West
have resulted almost without opposition in sustain-
ing the policy of the Federal government.
"If President Lincoln will fight and keep on fight-
ing, the free States will give men and money with-
out restraint."

An immense naval expedition sailed for an un-
known destination on the coast of the Atlantic
cotton States on the 29th instant. It was com-

FRANCE AND ROME.

A letter from Turin of the 7th says : " After hesi-
tating some time, the Emperor Napoleon has refused
to accept the propositions of M. Ricasoli, not be-
cause ho does not approve of them, but because
they seem to him inopportune, and he fears that
they may uselessly compromise his Influence. M.
de Lavalette, while reassuring the Pontifical
government, will have for his mission to
seize the propitious moment to withdraw the papacy
from the vicious circle of its old declarations. In
not finally renouncing Ids hopes of a solution, M.
Ricasoli therefore does not act from obstinacy, as
some suppose ; but has very good reasons for per-
severing."

A Net/ MODS or DUILLINO.—A letter from
Warsaw, in the Preeurseur &Anvers, gives the following
strange account of the death of General Oerstenzweig :
" The general, partly from obedience to orders, partly from
natural severity of clispotitiou, had arrested a great many
Poles, and Mid placed them in the citadel. Shortly after
fears were entertained that an insurrection would break out,
and that, consequently, numerous prisoners in the citadel
would be an embarrassment. Accordingly,the commander of
the fortress, in conjunction with Count Lambert, ordered
several of them to be released. On hearing this, General
Gerstensweig went in a state of great irritation to Count
Lambert, reproached him with having acted from fear, and
called him a coward. As several righters of the staff were
weent, a duel seemed inevitable ; but, as a hostile meeting
between two such high personage. at that moment might
present great inconvenience, it was decided that one of the
two should kill himself the same evening, and that lots
. should be drawn to decide which it should be. The lot fell
on General Gerstentweig, and he fired three times with
pistols at his head, the last time inflio.ing a mortal wound.
These incidents explain why General Lambert shortly after
left suddenly for St. Petersburg."

THE POLICE COURTS.

ILiNSION-HOUSE.

The Lord Mayor, in t;ri;i Wei yesterday moraine,
said he wished to correct a statement in a letter which had
in the Timer that morning, in reference to an sp-
. tion to the magistrates at Southamptos by Captain
elrion, of the late Harvey Birch, for a search warrant with
• view of recovering from the steamer Nashville some pro-
perty which had been on board the reed at the time of
cepture and before she was set on fire. Mr. Peachey, the
solicitor who appeared for Captain Nelson, stated that he
had received • letter from the Lord Mayor, stating that •
formal application had been made to him at the -house, mei that he had thought it his duty to pass the mat-
ter to the authorities at Southampton, at which port the
Nashville had called and still remained, and that his lord-
ship informed Captain Nelson that had the Nashville been
lying in the Loudon Locke be should have granted the ap-
plication.
His Lordship stated that an application was made to him
in his private room by the same gentleman, who wished to
have a search warrant with reference to property which be
alleged to be on board the Nashville, but he told that gen-
Minima lie had no jurisdiction ; but knowing personally Mr.
Coles, the magistrate of tionthamptuo, and feeling sym-
pathy fur the party who had lost his property, be wrote a
letter of introduction for him to the magistrate. He ex.
pressed no opinion in the matter, and certaitly should not
have granted • search warrant even if the vessel had been
in the London Docks, and that was out of the jurisdiction
of the City magistrates. He oertaioly must avow that he
did feel for him, as he did for all parties who were copied
in that struggle, whether federal, or confederates.

BALL TO THE EMPRESS EUGENIE AT

COMPIEGNE.

A letter from Compihgne gives the following
details of the ball given to the Empress of the French :
" Persons of every class al society were invited to this
ball, and the general of might be seen next to the
private soldier, and the Emperor's ministers in contact with
the peasants of the neighbourhood. The whole of the
ornamentation was of a military character, arms of every
Wed being most ingeniously grouped together fur the
purpose. At half-past seven the principal gate
of the barrack was thrown open, and in a quarter
of ea hour after, between 2,000 and 3,000 guests
crowded the temporary ball-room. The baud of
the Glikke played their most brilliant waltzes and quad-
rilles, and the dancing, which commenced at once, never
flagged the whole night. All etiquette was banished from
the fife, and hence the arrival of their Majesties was not
waited for to commence the dancing. The Emperor mine
in a little before ft, the band playing the well-known air
of Queen Hortense. His Majesty pl►ced himself in a tribune
on the right, just above the entrance, and almost home.
diets:ly after the Emprem, in whose honour the fete was
given, took her seat by his side. The Emperor was in hunt-
ing costume, and the Empress in a goy riding dress, with
an elegant bat and feather. The Princess Anna Murat and the
ladies of honour were all in out-of-door dresses, and it
was evident that the day's hunt had terminated later than
usual. Another tribune on the left wee reserved for the
ladies who were guests at the palace, and the gentlemen be.
longing to the court had seats assigned them below the two
tribunes. After the applause with which the entrance of
their Majesties was greeted bad subsided, two non-commis-
sioned officers—one a Zouave, and the other belonging to
the Guides—arid an refamt-de-troupe of the former corps,
came forward and presented magnificent bouquets to
the Empress ; immediately after, a sergeant offered to
their Majesties the rim cl'Aoniscur, which they drank
amidst loud acclamations. Their Majesties then descended
from the tribune, and walked round the ball-room accom-
panied by the ministers and the high °Moen of their house-
holds. They remained to within a quarter to 9, when they
withdrew, accompanied by loud cheers. The fete COS.
tinned until two in the morning with immense spirit, both
the country people and the soldiers dancing with tremen-
dous energy to the last."

WORBHIPSfREET._

The father of the giriiel:asr;handl3ersh Ann Fodder
(their rightful names), accompanied by Mr. Matthew Smith,
the city missionary whew name has been mentioned in con-
nexion with the mei, attended to claim his children. He raid
that ouTuseday morning, the 19th inst., the girls in question,
who are the eldest of seven, and aged 12 and 15, not 15 and 17,
es gives by them, left his house in the village of (Adding-
ton, in Bedfordshire, at 9 o'clock in the looming, to pursue
their daily oalling of straw-bat sowing, at Luton, two miles
and a half distant; that he became alarmed at their
not returning in the evening as usual, sad more so
when, shortly afterwards, some soiled linen and other articles
belonging to them was missed, and he west immediately to
seek them in that direction, but without success, sad he
could hear no tidings of them until he received the oom-
munication from Mr. Smith that his children bad been
intercepted in London, and sheltered is a workhouse.
The Magistrate closely interrogated the poor man as to•
the muse of the girls' flight, and was neural that it could
have proceeded from whim only, they having sever imps-
rienoed ill-usage at home or deprivation of anything re-
quisite. The family were poor, as he (the father) wee-us-
able to accomplish much labour, in consequence of as ae-
cident to the left arm twelve years sums.
Mr. Saffored, the clerk, mentioned that on Sunday last
he visited Caddington, cod learned from Mr. Millard, the
minister there, that the girls in question attended his
school, and that the family bore a good character. Mn.
Tedder mentioned that her daughters had some moods
111200 pilfered trifling things from her, to avoid a recurreece
of which site she celled in a police-constable and frightened
them, since which period the two girls had always appeared
"unsettled."

The Magistrate lectured the girls opals their rashness.
In all probability they had been just timely rescued by the
interposition of the missionary. Subsequently 10a was
ordered to be given for the railway fares for the return of
the father sod daughters to („nddington, the former not
having the means to defray the same.

THE ALDERSHOT? MURDERS.

At the ordinary petty imenions at Odihara, yes-
terday aften.cion, held at the George Hotel, John Nicholas,
of the Ind Battalion Military Train, was brought before Lord
Dorchester and Mr. Radom Currie, the sitting magistrates,
charged, on the information of Mr. Superintendent Howard,
of the Haute County Constabulary, with shooting with
intent to murder. Sergeant-Major Heory Leslie Heonedy,
of the same corps, on the night of the 6th lost.
Since the commission of the offence with which the pri.
sneer stands charged, his intended victim has been at the
military hospital under the care of Surgeon F. E. Reynolds,
and although all memos have been adopted to restore the
patient, he is yet far from out of danger.
The prisoner has already been brought before the bench
ce three previous 001.11SiOUS, but remanded, owing to the
very precarious state of the sergeant-major, and yesterday a
further remand took place on thir same ground.
With intense* to the two fearful crimes that have been
recently perpetrated at Aldershoth it is understood that a
marching inquiry will at once be instituted into the causes
of the disaffection that MOMS to prevail among some of the
mw at the camp. As a proof of the ill-feeling that exists,
we may state that on Saturday one of the men of the 20th,
as our reporter was informed, was arrested for uttering
Matsu against one of the non-oinimissiooed officers, sod on
Monday miming, shortly before the period fixed for the
inquest on the body of poor Dixon, two men were found on
parade with loaded ram. All Dort' of rumours am rife in
the camp, bat it is only fair to say that the utmost
abhorrence is felt in all quarters at thane frightful deeds,
