ITALY.
THE POPE AND THE PRESIDENT.
A letter from Rome, in the Cattolico of Genoa,
contains the following passage :
" It is said that in his autograph letter to the Holy
Father, Prince Louis Napoleon has avowed his senti-
ments of filial devotedness in the strongest terms, and
declares he will make every effort to put down socialism.
I% is added, that an eminent personage having waited
on the Prince, had a long conversation with him, in
which the Prince said to Understand me well
him—
I am of the religion of the Pope ; I know I am only
here provisionally, but I hope I shall remain here long
cnough to stifle the two monsters of socialism and of the
r9volation."Chese words have been frequently re-
peated in well-informed circles."

RUSSIAN POLAND.
A letter from the Russian frontier, in the National
Gazette of Berlin, states that eight regiments of
Russian cavalry and infmtry are encamped on the
ontier near Posen, which is rigorously watched.
'he pickets of Cossacks have been doubled. Every
tr,tveller is taken under military escort to the custom-
house, where he is rigorously examined, and his
person compared with his passport. Those who go
to Warsaw are announced in advance. The little
town of Slapce is surrounded by a triple cordon of
cavalry. The Polish inns are under special surveil-
lance. The stores of provisions are full ; and, not-
withstanding the abundant harvest, the exportation of
rye and oats has been forbidden. These measures
caused the belief to be entertained that there would be
war, but no movement of Russian troops had taken
place towards the west.
