PARR TIIIIIVIDAY.

The Moniteur of to-day says :—" The Bishop of
Poitiers has published a mandement in the Monde,
containing allusions offensive to the government of
the Emperor, and likely to arbitrarily disturb the
conscience of the citizens. The mandement has
been submitted to the high jurisdiction of the
Council of State, which is charged to decide in
cases of abuse."

The Moniteur also publishes a circular, addressed
by Count Persigny to the Prefect of Vienne,
relating to the above mandement of the Bishop of
Poitiers. The Minister says I considered
that it would be contrary to the interests of the
government to screen such excesses from the judg-
ment of public opinion, and I would not therefore
take any measures to prevent the publication of
documents in which are disclosed with such audacity
the secret views of that party which, under the veil
of religion, has no other aim than that of attacking
the elect of the French people."

(The portion of the pastoral letter of the Bishop of
Poitiers alluded to in the above telegram, will be found in
our Paris letter, printed in another column.]
PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
A project of address was read to-day in the
Corps Legintatif. The following is a summary of
its contents :

The address expresses the thanks of the deputies
on account of the Imperial decree of November,
applauds the policy of the government in the
interior, and expresses hopes for the maintenance
of peace. The address then continues :
We hope that the humane mission which
France has fulfilled in Syria will be maintained.
We approve the policy which your Majesty has fol-
lowed in Italy. The late diplomatic documents and
the recent despatch of troops to Rome have given
proofs of your constant efforts to ensure the secu-
rity of the papacy, and have preserved its temporal
power as much as the force of circumstances and
the resistance of the papal government to wise
counsels have allowed. In thus acting your Ma-
jesty has completely responded to the religious sen-
timents and the political traditions of France. As
regards the future, the Corps Legislatif entirely re-
lies on your Majesty's wisdom, being convinced that
you will always be guided by the same principles
and the same feelings, without allowing yourself to
be discouraged by the injustice you have experi-
enced, and which distressed us."

can satisfy it. We must, therefore, confine ourselves to
stating that, by the tore of Count de Germiny. named Pro-
visiooal Director of the CALM Generale des Chemins de Fer,
