In the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday, the
..linister for Public Wor ks con-ented to the postpone-
nent of the Strasburg and Spire Rsilway Bill.
It is said that the Marquis of NORMANDY has pre-
-,ented a note to the French Government, from Lord
i'ALMERSTON, demanding explicit explanations as to
he intentions of France with regard to Rome—how
ong it is intended that the French army shall
ecupy the Roman territory, ani whether it is re-
-olved to support the Pore.
The Legitunatist and Jesuit journals are setting up
i cry for the absolute and unconditional restoration
of the POPE; but we believe that no such folly is in-
ter,ded by the French Government, if we may take
he following, which appears in the semi-official jour-
,;al, La Petrie, as the programme of their policy on
this question :
" It is first of all necessary,' observes La Patric,
• that the admini,trative reforms commenced by Pius
X. shall not be abandoned, as certain persons ton often
repeat at Gaeta. It is necessary, on the contrary,
tot only to resume, but to extend them beyond what
vas, perhaps, previously intended. Without wish-
vg to interfere in the details of the internrl admin.
'titration of the country we are of opinion that the
irst and most indispensable reform ought to consist
)c using the knife boldly on the old Trivincial or-
:aniz--tion. which, by multiplying beyond measure the
--i..lministrative machinery, entailed in the Roman
midget, an expenditure which it has never been
and is now less than ever able to support. One of the
great evils of the ancient regime was the almost total
occupation of offices by ecclesiastics. An end must be
Put to this system. Religion was injured by it as much
as the State. It will be necessary to secularize, once
or all, the whole of the public- offieers. A large exten-
iion of municipal institutions will also become an urgent
justifi,d by a double object—

oiediate interests, which is only just; and then, as a
-natter of prudence, to form fur political life and the
of more extensive freedom, that same
population, which is as yet far from under-
tending what is real dignity and independence.
Ile reform in the administration of justice
ought to be radical. The RAnan Tribunals multipli. d
rd infifaum, engender, by the diversity of jurisdic-
ion, and of their proceedings, a multitude of abuses.
Their diminution is absolutely necessary. The substi-
oition of a clear and just notion of our codes from the
abyrinth of the actual laws, will be followed by a more
regular administration of justice. The Roman Govern-
'tient, by the adoption of reform on this head, will only
flow the example set it by Naples, and by many other
European states. But France must not stop here. We
faire that her intervention should be followed by the
„tenting in this noble country of the fertile germ of in-
Aitutions, really representative, such as, fir instance, the
reation of one or mere Assemblies, of a
Council - General, or whatever may be the
eranninatien of this elective body—ot an assent-
'lege of men for the purpose of explainirg and de-
endieg. in a direct and legsl manner, the views and the
.feces,aties of the nation. Let us nut, however, deceive
urselves. The difficulties will be great, inasmuch as
he population of the Roman States, rescued by us from
ppression and tyranny, may not yet be dispited to re-
ounce ideas in which they had been accustomed to live
or so many ages of absolute rule. Such are the great
werests of justice, of reason, and of humanity which
are now to be discussed. We repeat it, the opposition
sill be great. This opposition will take a c-lour of
,ights from the too recent recollections of many
-orrows, of fears, of real suffering, and of many de-
., ptious experienced by the heart of the Pontift in his
earch atter what was good and true. It may also be
Corti&d by the weakness of many well meaning men, who
luring these latter days at Rome did not perform their
duty. But ultimately, we cannot permit eurs-lves to
•loubt of the fact, the will of the French Government
oust be serious, its desire ardent, to relieve the States
rt the Church from past suffering, and which, if re-
newed, would infallibly again submit them to the rule
if demagogues. We do hope that, notwithstanding the
tifficulties of the situation, we shall soon see the Papacy
—supported by the councils of the Republic, after re-
cognising and experiencing the disinterested benefits
fontkrred by our arms—enter on the path of the most
argent, the most indispensable reforms; no matter how
;Ai.itui they may be to the instincts, or, perhaps, the
:.arieour its impassioned friends."
The Presse contains the following :—" It, has been
remarked that M. DROUTN DE LHUYS, named am-
iiassador to England, is designated in the Moniteur
being sent on a temporary mission. RM. Daourzi
DE Luurs had been appointed purely and simply as
Ambassador he must have given in his resignation as
representative of the people. But he is on a tem-
porary mission, and that gives him six months' re-
'trite. It is thought that by that time the electoral
taw will have been revised, and then M. DROUTN,DE
I.nurs may he a permanent ambassador."
