NOTES OF THE DAY

It appears to be pretty generally inferred, in the
Political' circles of both the French and English capitals,
that in Louis
fiord Napoleon's address to the Archbishop of
eaux, he distinctly implies that there is a point from
twhich Prance can no 'farther advance, in support of the
Papal
Government ; and the conclusion, therefore, is,
that the Papal policy will, ere long, be left to stand or
by .its own merits. This decision, if such it be, of
the Prench Emperor, is regarded, moreover, as only
°Pening still wider the breach between himself and the
Papal party throughout Europe. His having made war
11Pon Austria was regarded as, in some respect, a hostile
.nvelnent against Rome ; and when he withdraws
Ins troops from the Holy City, it will evidently be
taken for granted, that he is no longer committed to the
o.,*nterests of Papacy. Should this be so, we do not
e that the cause of civil and religious liberty can
ve otherwise than benefited, either in France or in Italy.
The Dictator of Parma, General Farini, has seen the
fl__essity, not only of branding as a great crime the
murder
rder of Count Anviti, but of at length insisting upon
action for the sanweinary deed. He tells the people
his C 0 that he is invested with the missson to protect
he ()11ntry, and especially of justice, and that therefore
