THE OCCUPATION OF THE PAP

A parliamentary paper, published on Monday,
contains the following despatch addressed by the
Earl of Clarendon to Sir James Hudson, respect-
ing the occupation, by foreign troops, of Rome and
the Legations. The despatch is in these terms :

Foreign-office, May 26, 1856

Sir,—l herewith enclose the copy of a note which was
addressed to me when at Paris by the Plenipotentiaries

of Sardinia

The verbal communications which I frequently had the
pleasure of holding with Count Cavour, both before and
subsequently to the receipt of this note, can have left no
doubt upon the mind of his Excellency that her Majesty's
Government take a deep and sincere interest in the affairs
of Italy, and are desirous of doing everything which can
properly be done by them with a view to ameliorate the
condition of the Italian people.

No fresh assurances could add weight to those already
given to Count Cavour, and I did not therefore, think it

necessary to send an answer in writing to the note of the
Sardinian Plenipotentiaries ; but as it has comb to the

knowledge of her Majesty's Government that it would

be agreeable to the Sardinian Government

.o receive ou,

they cannot hesitate to declare their opinion that the
occupation of the Papal territory by foreign troops con-
stitutes an irregular state of things. which disturbs the
equilbrium, and may endanger the peace of Europe; and
that, by indirectly affording sanction to misgovernment,
it promotes discontent and a tendency to revolution among
the people.

Her Majesty's Government are aware that as this state
of things has now, unfortunately, for some years been
established, it may be possible that it could not suddenly

be brought to a close without some danger to public order,
and the risk of producing events that all would deplore ;

cl that the

evacuation of the Papal territory may be rendered safe at
an early period by a policy of wisdom and justice, and
they entertain a hope that the measures agreed upon by
the Governments of France and Austria will lead to a
gradual withdrawal of their respective forces, and to
bettering the condition of the subjects of the Pope.
tou will read and give a copy of this despatch to Count
Cavour.—l am, &c.,

SUBMARINE AMERICAN CABLE.—The screw steamer Pry-
ponds, Captain Goodwin, is now at Queenstown, where she
is caaling, having on beard the submarine electric able to
he laid down between Cape Ray, Newfoundland, and Cape
North, Cape Breton Island. The length of this cable is
eighty-five miles, and its weight 170 tons. tibe has also on
hoard the cable to he laid down between Cape Traverse,
Prince Edward's Island, and Cape Formautino, New Bruns-
wick; length, thirteen miles, and weight, thirty tons. The
cables era manufactured, and are ti be laid down by W.
Kuper and Co., tit Loudon, under the direction of Mr.
Canning, who with his assistants are on board. The former
failure in laying down the cable arose from the fact that it
was on board of a vessel towed by a steamer ; now it is on
tboard the steamship itself, and there is no doubt it will be
effectually laid down,—Cork, Reporter.
