THE FRENCH REPUB

!IC.

We have received the Paris papers of yeste
The expeditionary army embarked for
Vecchia on the 16th, from Marseilles. It i
posed of two brigades of infantry, forming fou
ments.; two battalions of artillery, a squadron
cavalry, engineers, pioneers, &c.
It was rumoured in Paris yesterday that t
public of Rome had entrusted the defence of
Vecchia to Captain KERSAUSIB, a French offic
had suffered a long imprisonment under Lou
LIPPE for a political offence, and that KEESAU
a sufficient force under his command to anal
to oppose the landing of the French troops.
The Presse publishes the following " corm
tion" on the subject of Italy :
" At the moment when the Freneh expedition Is about
taking its departure for Civita Vecchia, it appeals to us
to be bosh useful and necessary to give a littlei resume
of the diplomatic negotiations which have takehi place
between France, Austria, Spain, and the King ofiNaples,
for the purpose of restoring the Pope to his throw.
"About a month since we announced that the four
Powers above named had admitted in principle the de-
mand of the Pope, claiming their armed assistkince in
favour of the Holy See. We added that the four
Catholic powers had' charged their Plenipotentiaries at
Gaeta to draw up together the bases of the intervention
' demanded by 'the Sovereign Pontiff,
" Count Esterhaay, the Austrian Plenipotentiary, pro-
posed, in the name of his Government, a combination,
which left to Spain and the King of Naples the principal
part of the armed intervention, while Austria andyrance
should remain ready to act, but in obversation: 'l'bat
is to say, that while the Spanish and Neapolitan troops
should march on Rome, a French fleet, having', troops
on board ready for disembarkation, should reipain at
anchor at Civita Vecchia, to give a moral support to
the Spanish and Neapolitan expedition. At tile seine
time, and for the same object, an Austrian corps of
20,000 men should hold itself in readiness to;occupy
the Legations, in case the above-named expedition
should not be strong enough to re-establish the authority
of the Papal Government at Rome.
"The principal difficulty to the adoption of this plan
was that of conveying the Spanish troops from Barce-
lona to Civil& Vecchia, the Cabinet of Madrid not having
means for that purpose. France alone could acc9mplish
this, but the French Government hesitated at taking upon
itself the expense of the transport, and which, besides,
would rather tend to increase the influence of Spain
than that of France. At this point of the arrangements
the news reached Gaeta of the defeat of the Piedmon-
tese army at Novarra ; and at the same time the Re-
volutionists at Rome commenced to act with griest se-
verity towards the higher branches of the clergy at
Rome, whom they accused of keeping up secret cpmmu-
nications with the Papal Court.
"Pius IX., fearing that the delay of the Catholic
Powers would only render the state of affairs at Rome
more disastrous, resolved to demand the intervention of
Austria alone, thinking by that means to render foreign
assistance more prompt and more certain.
" The Cabinet of Vienna having on several occasions
since the flight of Pius IX. declared that she would pro-
ceed in conjunction with, France, hastened to invite the
French Cabinet to act -with it in fulfilling the wishes
of the Sovereign Pontiff. .The language held hy, the
Court of Vienna to the French Government on tbis oc-
casion was this, Austria only pursues in Germainy, in
Hungary, and in Italy, one line of policy, that of sterving
society, which is threatened by an unbridled demagogy;
that accomplished, far from seeking to shackle or impede
the regular development of liberal institutions An Eu-
rope, she would favour it on the bases of constitutional
liberty.'
" Austria did not conceal from France that in case the
lattercould not or would not intervene in the mites of
the Church, that an Imperial army would nevertheless
be placed at the disposal of the Pope. This last,decla-
ration determined the French Cabinet to send they expe-
dition to Civita Vecchia.
"The Austrian, and French armies Will .only Yellow
the direction of the Pope. Waiting those, the lattpr will
remain at Civita Vecchia, while the former will remain
between Modena and Ferrara, ready to occupy the ..ega-
lions. If the occupation of Rome should become neces-
sary, the two armies will be simultaneously called :on to
re-establish and to oonsolidate order.
." The intervention in the States of the Chur6
intervention in Tuscany are two distinct questions
former is at the formal demand of the Pope. Ni
of that kind has taken
_place on the part of the)
Duke of Tuscany. It ~ia perfectly incorrect to sal
ho has demanded the assistance of Austria, or tin
Imperial troops have already marched on Florence
" The (,abinet of Vienna, has confined itself
pressing its legal reservations with regard to
sionary rights on Tuscany as guaranteed by tr
By abstaining from any intervention Austria hai
tested beforehand against any intervention but het
on the ground that in virtue of existing treaties 'A
has the first right to be called on to protect the
crown, acquired to the collateral line of the Ho.
Lorraine."

It was rumoured in the Assembly that a mbdifi-
cation was about to take place in the Ministry and
that General BEDNAU would be entrusted with the
portfolio of Foreign Affairs, while that of War would
be committed to General LAMORICIERB.

The Debats publishes the following note addressed
I to it by General FABVIEE
"Several journals have attributed the cause of the
return of General Fabvier to a difference of opinion
between him and the Minister of War of Denmark as
to the conduct of the military operations. This 'is an
error which it is important to rectify. The King of
Denmark having requested General Fabvier to come to
visit his army, and give him advice on the campaign
about to be opened, the General calling to mind th con-
stant friendship of Denmark for France, accepted a
mission which could not last more than six weeks, and
would allow him to return before the elections. ' The
King was pleased to heap honours and bestow ion&
deuce upon a General of • France and her arrny,i and
the whole nation followed his Majesty's example. , The
General soon found that the -Danish army was w rthy
of its noble country, one of those nations whi do
honour to humanity. The armistice was to expi on
March 26. On the 20th. a plan of nperetiene urea u eat-
mously adopted by the Council. Success was cc tain,
and in one, week the invaded province would have been

quickly by 20,000 more, sex° thrown into the duichies
by the .Assetubly of Frankfort. It thereupon became
evident that Denmark could not sustain alone a cOntest
against all Germany, and General Fabvier found the
King and- his Ministers easily convinced of the neceissity
of keeping the Danish army in reserve until the; day,
near at hand, no doubt, when Europe would open her
eyes to an attack which is a violation of all the ancient
treaties, even that of 1815, and an undisguised menace
against France, Switzerland, Holland, Russia, and Ober
powers. Then the Danish army will come forward the
first in the ranks. At present, after some honourable
battles, it is, in spite of itself, doomed to remain inactive.
General Fabvier, with the thanks and to the regret of
the King and his Ministers and the Minister of War, who
is his friend more particularly, returned to France, his
presence in Denmark being henceforth of little use,, and
the terra of his absence being at an end."
The Monitor publishes the following information
with respect to the late arrest of the Count DE
MONT EMOLIN :
" The prefect of the Eastern Pyrenees informed the
Minister of the Interior, on the sth. of April, that) the
Count de Montemolin bad been arrested at the moment
when he was preparing to cross the frontier and to pass
into Catalonia. The Government has decided that the
Prince should be reconductod into England. On the
10th of April, at half-past five sex., the Count left Per-
pignan for Calais, in a private carriage. M. do Corriere,
councillor of the prefecture, was directed to accompany
the prince to Weis, with two officers 'ap-
pointed to that mission by the general com-
manding the division. The Count arrived on Saturday,
the 14th of April, at a quarter to ten o'clock at
night. At a quarter past ten he was embarked by, the
care of the persons who accompanied him, and in pre-
sence of the mayor of Calais, on board the pilot boat,
which conducted him on board the post-office packet-.
boat, La Biche, anchored in the roads, and bound for .
Dover. The Count de Montemolin has allowed himself .

, to commit a grave infraction against the law of nations.

guilty of a new attempt against the Government and the
institutions of his country."
