To-day in the Senate Count Persigny, in his
quality of senator, alluded to the inkults which had

been directed against him, and said,—
" I shall not reply to personalities. Since, how-
ever, some have thought fit to bestow on me, as a
sort of insult, the appellation of • unfortunate
Minister' (Illinistre malheureux), I shall only reply
that we live under a Government the issue of uni-

versal suffrage, which owes everything to the
national will, and can neither be lost nor saved by
a Minister."
In to-day's sitting of the Senate M. Pietri pro-
tested against the attacks made upon the Adminis-
tration of the Interior, and said that as soon as the
Empire brought forward the great international
questions the men belonging to the old parties made
opposition to it. " The Napoleonic dynasty," con-
tinued M. Pietri, " is the incarnation of the genius
of France, and will reign as long as it renews its
strength in the resources of democracy and liberty."
M. Pietri maintained that the Pope as a temporal
Sovereign is subjected to the fate of his neighbours,
the absolute Sovereigns.
Cardinal Morlot repelled the distinction which
it was sought to establish between the French
clergy and the clergy of other countries, and said—
" The French clergy have but one wish—viz., the
prompt solution of the great question of the Papacy,
and that this solution may be as happy a one as all
good and sincere Catholics desire."
The general discussion then closed, and the first
paragraph of the Address was adopted. At the
reading of the second paragraph M. Larochejacque-
lin pointed out the dangers caused by an anarchical
press.
The Constitutionned of to-day publishes the fol-

lowing :—" The Minister of the Interior has ordered
that henceforth all English newspapers shall be
distributed immediately on their arrival, without
any previous examination. Two or three journals
only, little known in France even by name, and of
no credit in England, are excluded from this liberal
measure, because those journals trade Upon defama-
tion, and only speak of France and the Government
she has selected to insult and calumniate both. They
are journals of scandal, not of discussion. All true
friends of liberty in France and England will ap-
plaud this measure taken by Count de Persigny.
They will also remember with satisfaction that the
Minister who now establishes the free circulation of
ideas between the two countries has already inau-
gurated the free circulation of individuals by the
suppression of passports. This is all sound policy."

A letter from Berlin, dated the 19th inst., says :
—" The great question of the present session is that
of the war estimates. Their adoption is not always
certain. In the recent discussion on the Hesse
question many speakers of the Progressist party,
while insisting upon the necessity of the armed. in-
tervention of Prussia took the precaution to add
that they did not mean to imply an increase it the
war estimates. The terms of the commercial treaty
between Prussia and 1 ranee are now nearly settled,
and the treaty will shortly be rnr,de public."
According to a telegram in the Paris papers
(through the agency Haves), PrusF.,ia is said to have
recognized the Kingdom of Italy and to have noti-
fied the same to the Prussian Minister at Turin and
to the representative of King Victor Emmanuel at
Berlin.
