POLAND.

BRESLAU, PIIDAT.

The Breslau journals of to-day publish a confi-
dential circular, addressed by Muhkanoff, ex-curator
of Poland, to the civil governors, recommending
them to exercise vigilance against what it terms
the prevailing seditious spirit, and a strict surveil-
lance over suspicious individuals, especially
foreigners, and finally ordering them to employ
energetic measures for the suppression of any out-
break.

This circular likewise instructs them to clearly
explain to the peasants that the government has
their welfare continually at heart.
It expresses a hope that the peasants will seize
the instigators of disturbances even should they
be their own landlords, and deliver them up to the
authorities.

On the contents of this circular becoming known
the delegation of citizens of Warsaw made repre-
sentations to the government against their danger-
ous nature.

The result of this step on their part is not yet
known.

scHLEsWIG-HOLSTICIN.
ITZEHOE, Alms 21.

The preliminary discussion on the report of the
committee has commenced in the Estates. The
Royal Commissioner warned the Assembly of the
responsibility it was about to incur.
MM. Versmann, Recentlow, and Blome sup-
ported the proposals of the committee.
M. Renck opposed them. The whole assembly
protested against the suggestion which was thrown
out in one of the speeches, that Holstein should
dissolve her connexion with the German Confe-
deration.

FRANCE.
PARIS, l'emumaY.

The Pat . says : "We have reason to believe
that no order has been given for the recall of the
French troops from Rome."

PARIS, THURSDAY.

In the Corps Legialatif to-day M. Favre brought
forward his amendment requesting the withdrawal
of the French troops from Rome. He recalled the
hopes which were entertained on the accession of
Pius IR, and said the Italians then believed that
it was possible to reconcile the Papacy with the
independence of Italy, but unhappily the Weldon
was of short duration. Since then also the Pope
had refused to associate himself with the war
against Austria, and by so doing abdicated his
temporal power. M. Fevre recalled the conduct of
France since the battle of Novara, and maintained
that in ordering the expedition to Rome, the
National Assembly never intended to re-establish
the temporal power of the Pope, but desired to
support Piedmont in her resistance to the threat-
ened domination of Austria. He contended that
the re-establishment of the sovereignty of the Pope

was foreign to the object of the expedition, and that
the restoration by foreign bayonets destroyed the
temporal power. Withdraw, he said, the sword of
France and the throne of the Pope falls. M.
Fevre cited documents to prove that all Europe
condemned the Roman government He praised
Victor Emmanuel for drawing his sword in the
service of Italian unity, and the governor of the
Emperor fur not maintaining a pusillanimous
neutrality. In reply to M. Keller, M. Favre said
he was surprised to see assigned as the cause of the
war in Italy a motive whose name ought not to have
been pronounced in the chamber. (Applause.) It
was as outrage against the Sovereign to insult the
good sense and honour of France. (Applause.)
M. Fevre then re-called the origin of the war in
Italy, and said that the Papal government in
Bologna disappeared with the Austrian ammunition
waggons. It would be the same if we left Rome.
He pointed out the false position held by the French
soldiers at Rome, which, he said, could not be
maintained any longer. He declared that the pro-
posed confederation would maintain the influence of
Austria. He recalled the counsels given to the Pope
to grant reforms, and blamed the government for
having authorised enlistments for the Papal army
in France. It would, he said, be impolitic to allow
the sword of France to remain at Rome to repress
the movement which we h►ve provoked. Rome is
necessary to the Italians as the capital of their
kingdom. The maintenance of the state quo is im-
possible.

M. Grassier de Caasagnac supported the paragraph
as drawn up by the committee, and said, "The
policy of France is catholic and liberal." He de-
sired a Papacy without abuse, and Italian liberty
without Utopian ideas. "No member of the com-
mittee has demanded the restitution to the Popo of
the provinces he had lost, but the Papacy to be in-
dependent would require Rome and its territory
formerly under its dominion." He declared that
the interest of France and her dynasty was to
maintain the temporal power of the Pope, and con-
tended that Italian unity was hostile to France. In
recapitulating his remarks, M. Granier de Ciussag-
nac said : " The irritation at Rome and Turin is
