PARIS, MONDAY E• 1111110.

The language of our morning journals on the sub-
ject of Victor Emmannel's answer to the Tuscan
deputation, is that of complete approval. The
Slide considers that the declarations answer all
that the circumstances demanded, and prove the
king's prudence, tact, and devotion to the Italian
cause. The assembling of a congress appears
already an established fact. The tone of the Caw
Mitulionnel appears to me eminently satisfactory.
I find some weight attributed to the rumour of
a revision of the electoral lists, end a revision of the
franchise in Tuscany. Should the provisional
government consent to such • step, we may feel
tolerably certain that it will only be from a belief in
the strength of their cause. The repetition (or
nearly so) of the electoral events which oecr-red in
the Danubian provinces, wit' surely be followed by
the same result.
I have reason to know that the statement in the
baiyenclance as to the building of more frigates is
cermet. Nevertheless it would be wrong to assume
that the relations of France and England are at
present in any danger of being weakened. Every-
thing points to a contrary conclusion. As regards
them frigates, let it be remembered that this is a
elms of vessel in which France is weak ; and es
regards the general question of the naval prepara-
tions of France, they mast be viewed ri part of a
system which the imperial government has long
been, is, and will continue to be elaborating—the
raising, namely, of the French nasy to an unpre-
cedented strength. What the future may have is
store for this generation no man can say, and, of
course, England must provide for all eventualities;
but I repeat my firm conviction that for the present
the storm has blown over, and that both countries
may in all security pursue thee peaceful avocations,
and unreservedly enter into the sort of peaceful
strife recommended by the president of the legisla-
tive body.

The probability of the meeting of a congress, and
that at no distant period, was talked of at the
Boune, and the market had an upward tendency.
A greater rise in securities would doubtless hare ,
taken plane were there any business of a speculative
character now doing. Renter were in demand at
691 r. 20c. to 139 fr. 23c., for both ash and account,
being a rise of 30c. and 23c. respectively. Mobilier,
823 fr. 73e. both for cash and account, being • rise
of 13fr. "i6c. and Bfr. ibc, Some activity °bier Ta-
ble in railways. Lombards were inqo'nlid for, as
were also Orleans and Lyons. Considemb'e invest-
ments continue to be made in Obligations.
The Pays, I am happy to find, does not persist in
the tone it had adopted yesterday. It is contented
with remarking that "some journals do a certain
violence to the royal words, wherein they seek to
find a meaning which they do not contsin . .
that ' the King accepts the annexation of Tuscany
provisionally, and coder reserve of the approbation
of the great powers.' . . We see nothing in the
reply that resemble* such an acceptance." It is placed
beyond doubt that M. de Grammont hes had an im-
portant interview, first with the Pope alone, and
afterwards with the Pope and Cardinal Antonelli
together. What passed is more or less matter of
surmise; but there is reason to believe that the
French ambassador firmly but mildly represented
the Roman question as being not the least pressing
of those at present under consideration. The point
immediately at issue is not that of the reforms in
the Roman administration--they will and must come
later, if a catastrophe is to be avoided—bat of the
mode in which the liberty of the Legations shall be
reconciled with the preservation of the status quo of
the temporal power of Rome. In short, to solve the
arithmetical question of how to trke 2 from 4 and
yet leave 4 P For, twist and turn it about as you
will, that is the way in which Pius IX. insists upon
placing it before you. He won't give up the
richest part of hie patrimony. He is bound to keep
it in the intern% of catholicity ; and if you, his
eldest son, are resolved to take it from him, well
and good; but you do it at your nun proper peril.
You may try to colour the proceeding, talking of a
suzerainty, a separate administration, a tribute In
acknowledgment of his beneficent authority; but
what you meditate, in compliance with the national
wishes, is neither more nor lees than spoliation.
And so it will go on till—as in the case of the Dukes
—the eldest son of the chumh will probably be
obliged to say, " You see how it is, holy father ; pub-
lic opinion is too strong for me. lam a man of my
tr. I know how to yield in that, with a good
gram. Yon mast retract your nonpossumus, or its
all over with the papacy." Your readers will have
men that, accon!!ng to the Indepeada•cs, his Holi-
ness perceives so much of earnestness in his beloved
eon's advice, as to make him declare he will at once
give the whole country the constitution of 1848.
The answer of the Romagna will be, "It is too
late!"

It is stated that the number of troop. which his
Holiness has in arms at Pesaro has been exaggerated.
It consists in reality of no more than 3,000 native
troop', 2,000 Swiss, and two regiments on their
way '-om Rome.
