FRAN CE.

The state prisoners at Vincennes were transferred
to Bourges yesterday. They were guarded by a
strong escort, who had orders to prevent, at any cost,
the prisoners from being rescued.
Two notes from the Prince de Schwartzenburg,
dated Vienna, 25th ultimo, were received on the 2d
instant by Baron Thom, the Austrian Minister in
Paris, who communicated their contents to the
Minister for Foreign Affairs.
The first of these notes refers to the Roman ques-
tion. In it the Prince reminds the Minister of the
fears of Austria with respect to the conduct of the
Pope in the commencement of his reign, and observes
that, although the Imperial Government had antici-
pated that the system of reform inaugurated by Pius
IX. would ultimately produce disastrous conse•
quences for the repose of the Italian Peninsula
and though well aware that the adulators
of the Pontiff (who had always been conspirators
against society) would in the end turn against him,
and treat him with the basest ingratitude, neverthe-
less Austria considered herself bound to support the
temporal power of the Pope, which had been conse-
crated and ratified by a duration of ten centuries ;
and, moreover, guaranteed by the Treaty of Vienna,
signed by all the powers of Europe, and by a subse-
quent convention, dated January 12, 1832, signed by
France, Austria, Prussia and Russia. The
note goes on to say, that it is an
error to suppose that the question is one which
merely interests Italy. It is a question which in-
terests every; power in Europe; as there is none
in whose dominions are not found members of the
church of which the Pope is the head. It is time,
therefore, that the powers who are parties to this last
convention should adopt measures to enforce its exe-
cution, and put an end to the anarchy which is dis-
turbing the tranquillity of Europe, and in this Austria
is ready to co-operate.

The second note relates tto Tuscany. Prince
Schwartzenburg insists upon the right of Austria to
interfere as she thinks proper, the Grand Duchy being
governed by a Prince of the house of Austria. The
note makes particular reference to a treaty con:
eluded in 1735, and confirmed in 1736, between
Austria and Louis XV., by which the latter bound
himself in his own name and that of his successors
to defend the right of the Duke of Lorraine to the
possession of Tuscany, which had been transferred
to him in exchange for Lorraine, which was then
annexed to France. The 100th article of the Treaty
of Vienna and subsequent conventions had restored
the Duchy to the Arch-Duke Ferdinand of Austria.
The
.Kings of the Two Sicilies, Sardinia, and
Spain, and the Germanic body had concurred
in those conventions, and were bound, as well as
France, to defend the rights of the reigning house
of Tuscany. Such is the substance of the notes
communicated by Prince Schwartzenburg to Baron
Thom, and ordered to be laid before the French
Government. It is probable that copies of the same
will have been communicated to the other European
Governments alluded to in them.
