LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE FRENCH SENATE.
PARIS, JAN. 30.

In yesterday's sitting of the Senate, the general
debate on the Address terminated, and the first six

paragraphs-were voted.

On the reading of the seventh paragraph, which
treats of Italy, M. Thouvenel gave explanations
concerning the motives of his quitin g the Ministry.
rHe said that after the suppression of the Gari-
baldian movement, the Emperor not being able to
concede Rome to the Italians, he (M. Thouvenel)
could not continue negotiations with Rome, which
rejected every means of reconciliation. M. Thou-
venel maintained that they who misrepresent
the policy of the Emperor are those who pre-
tend to know secrets which have never been
confided to them ; who in wishing to impose
various combinations for the constitution of Italy,
forget that the Emperor has proclaimed the right of
every country to 'freely regulate the conditions of
its existence; who do not comprehend that Victor
Emmanuel alone can represent in Italy the principle
of order ; who forget the declarations of the Mi-
nister without portfolio (M. Billault), that Italian
unity was now an accomplished fact; and those who,
dreaming of chimerical restorations of former dy-
nasties, forget that the independence of Italy has
cost France 30,000 soldiers. M.Thouvenel expressed.
regret that the Committee of the Senate on the Ad-
dress had not, in place of paragraph 7, signified their
adhesion to the m,gnificent programme of the Em-
peror. M. Thouvenel adverted to the memorandum
of the Pontifical Government, and considered that
the reforms announced therein were not of a serLus
character. He said, " The great obstacle to any
reconciliation is always Rome. Ido not admit the
right of the Italians to demand Rome, but it is im-
passible to contest the right of the Romans to be
governed according to their wishes. It is the wish
of the Romans that the temporal authority of the
Pope should be transformed. I regret that the
Committee on the Address has not stated this in
their draught of the Address."

General Gemeau and the Marquis de Laroche-
jsquelin then spoke on the Address.
M. Billault, who afterwards addressed the Senate,
said that the state of things was quite defined, and
that the policy of
the Emperor had never varied:
M. Billault continued, " The Emperor has always
desired the independence of Italy and the indepen-
dence of the Holy See. Various means to this end
have been proposed, but have not yet had any re-
sult. But the Emperor intends to pursue his ob-
ject. In order to characterise the present state of
things, I must say that the Non possumus which
we met
with at Rome, we now encounter at Turin."
M. Billault further said that the wish of the Senate
was to secure the ascendancy of conciliatory ideas
which constituted the programme of the Emperor.
Paragraph 7 of the Address was then adopted,
and the sitting closed.
The Moniteur announces that the Emperor has
received Mr. Lambert, the Envoy of the King of
Madagascar.

INSURRECTION IN POLAND.
S T. PETERSBURG, JAN. 30.

The Journal de St. Petersbourg of this morning
publishes a detailed account of the events which
have taken place in Poland.

While lamenting the large participation of the
clergy in the revolt, the writer rejoices at the ab-
stinence of the majority of the students.
One hundred and fifty insurgents, who were at
Biabystoc, had crossed from Poland into the
district of Bielsk. General Manioukin has concen-
trated a detachment at Bi4bystock. The railway
station at Luppa, the first in the kingdom, has been
occupied by troops. Flying columns have been sent
to protect the railway at Kowno and Wierrbolor (P) '
and to dislodge the insurgents from the environs of
Brest and Braby. Colonel Suckow attacked the
rebels yesterd y in the woods of Piocki, Kostelnoi,
Stroumianska, and Kozny. The rebels were put to
flight, losing 38 prisoners—one a priest, the prin-
cipal instigator of the movement in his district.
Warsaw is perfeetly quiet.

The bands of Thesiewis are beginning to dis-

perse.

Many workmen have returned to their occupa-
tions. The conscription has been effected in the
provinces without hindrance.
