FRANCE.

M. Gamier Pages, whose health is in a precarious
state, has left Paris for Marseilles.
The deposits lodged in the Paris savings' banks on
Sunday and Monday last amounted to 60,781 f.; the
sums withdrawn during the same days amounted to
19,317 f.
General Changarnler has published the following
note in La Presse:—" A great number of officers
who are at present either on leave of absence or un-
employed in Paris have come spontaneously to offer
their services to the. General commanding the Na-
tional Guards of the Seine, the Garde Mobile, and
the troops of the First Military Division. He thanks
them for that proof of their devotedness to the cause
of order."
It having been rumoured that a new journal called
the Napoleon Colonisateur was published under the
auspices of M. Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte, and that
it was also under his auspices that an electoral asso-
ciation had been formed, in which he intended to
speak for the first time, M. Pierre Napoleon Bona-
parte has published a declaration that these assertions
are altogether untrue, and that he has merely signi-
fied to M. Hamel, the editor of the journal in ques-
tion, that he would become a subscriber to it, and that
his concurrence, as a representative of the people,
might be relied upon in any proposition which might
tend to the extinction of pauperism, according to the
ideas which long ago emanated from his cousin, the
President of the Republic.
Further accounts of the excitement in Paris, on
Monday, are contained in the French newspapers.
The following extract will afford some notion of the
enthusiasm in favour of the Prince President:—
" The affluence of persons who flocked towards the
Chamber was immense; every street in the neighbour.
hood was thronged. n the Place do la Concorde it was
not easy to pass, so great was the crowd. The Tuileries
gardens were' closed to the public, and occupied by
troops. Large bodies of troops were also posted on the
Place de la Concorde near the bridge. Just as I was
going to the Chamber,' says our reporter, 'about half-past
one, an immense rush of the crowd, almost exclusively
consisting of men in blouses, took place towards the
Champs Elysees. I waited to ascertain what could be
the cause of the movement, and found that it was the
President of the Republic, who was proceeding on horse-
back across the Place de la Concorde to the Boulevards.
He was dressed in the uniform of a colonel of the
National Guard, wearing the broad red ribbon of the
Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. Two aides-de-
camp accompanied him, as did two or three orderlies,
and about fifteen lancers. He was received with the
utmost enthusiasm by the crowd as he passed along, and
the loudest cries of Vive la Republique! arose, mingled
with a few shouts of A bas le Ministerel Thousands of
persons accompanied him, and it was with great diffi-
culty I could get at last out of the crowd. The thick
mass of persons went along towards the Boulevards, and
I returned towards the Chamber. Round it the military
force - consisted 'of cavalry, infantry, and artillery—
nothing, in fact, was seen like it since the
days of June. The circulation of the public
was. lot, however, impeded, though later in ithe
day no person whatever was allowed to pass."
The President of the Republic will give a grand
ball' on Friday next, which will be followed by one
every fortnight. As the smallness of the hotel only
permits 00 persons to be received, there will be
various series of invitations.

We read in the Union :—" The Archbishop of
Paris has received from the Pope another letter ex-
pressing the deepest gratitude for all the tokens of
sympathy received by the illustrious object of perse-
cution from him, from the episcopacy, and from the
people of France. Pius IX. again declares his wish
to come into France as soon as circumstances will
allow him, and to thank in person this noble nation,
and console himself by beholding its piety, its devo-
tion, and love for the Holy See, for the ingratitude
which has steeped his soul in bitterness.' He desires
that they will continue to pray for the safety of his
person, and of the Church committed to his charge,
and ,renews his apostolic benediction upon the clergy
and upon all the faithful."
Several National Guards, yesterday morning, ar-
rested a man named Lecointe, who stated himself to
be a retired merchant living in the Rue Richelieu.
He boasted of being acquainted with persons, who,
according to his own expression, " would bring down
the President of the Republic." He was taken before
the Commissary of Police, and underwent an imme-
diate examination._

It was M. de Lamartine who, from the tribune

demanded the division on the proposition of M.
Rateau, after a brief speech, but a speech terse, bold,
and eloquent.

ITALY.

The subjoined extract from a letter written at
Rome will be perused with interest :
" We are in statu quo in Rome; iniquity after iniquity
is perpetrated. The other evening they sang a' Mise-
rere' through the streets, carrying the cardinals' hats,
&c., in procession, and then threw them from the Ponte
Sesto into the Tiber, saying—' Addio al Papa, addio ai
cardinali.' One night they broke all the windows at the
curate's house at St. John Lateran, and 'at the Santa
Maria Maggiore. Morte al Papa' is one of the cries
occasionally indulged in, and the most violent and ribald
publications are openly sold in the Corso. I bought one
yesterday, Misere al Ministro Rossi," of which the fol-
lowing is a specimen:—
"' Chi piu nero scellerato
Del de Rossi gist scannato?
Miserere Domine.
" Gil alla patria tutto
Tesi avea coi Cardinali
Miserere Domino.
Quando un braccio invito e forte,
Con pugnal gli di6 la morte
Miserere Domine.
‘" Benedetto iI tem Brutto
Chi lo diede in mano a Pluto
Miserere Domine.
" Oh clic Rossi 6 nen' inferno
Canti Italia in sempiterno
Laus tibi Domine.'

" I need not make comments on this, nor on the Pro-
visional Government that permits or sanctions it. Maz-
zini has been here, and has issued a violent Republican
address, printed as a pamphlet, to the south of Italy; he
and Guerazzi and Sterbini and Canino are at the bottom
of all the mischief in Italy, and while they have their
heads on their shoulders no good will be done amongst
this most excitable people.
" The Pope has issued an excommunication against
those who take any part in the forthcoming Costituente,
but generally it is laughed at. Even the people ex-
pected a civil war, as many are determined to take the
Pope's side, and many others to carry out Republicanism.
" Long ago Pasquale thus addressed the Pope:—
, Pio! No, no.
Ma stai,
Vedremmo come to govornerai.' "
