morality at all, but the reverse—that an obedience to
what are supposed to be the commands of Revelation,
simply because a disobedience to those commands is
rendered impracticable, is in no degree creditable,
but the very op' oF,ite. Liberty to sin or to be vir-
tuous, to choose the gcod or the evil, to go to the
right side or to the left, to be numbered on the Day
of Judgment with the sheep or with the goats—is
permitted to man by his CREATOR. All we ask from

similar freedom to travel or not to travel,by highway
or by railway, on Saturdays or on Sundays. We

We have received the Paris.papers of yesterday.
The expeditionary army embarked for Civita
Vecchia on the 16th, from Marseilles. It is com-
posed of two brigades of infantry, forming four regi-
ments ; two battalions of artillery, a squadron of light
cavalry, engineers, pioneers, &c.
It was rumoured in Paris yesterday that the Re-
public of Rome had entrusted the defence of Civita
Vecchia to Captain KERSAUSIE, a French officer who
had suffered a long imprisonment under Louts PHI-
LIPPE for a political offence, and that KERSAUSIE had
a sufficient force under his command to enable him
to oppose the landing of the French troops.
The Presse publishes the following " communica-
tion" on the subject of Italy :
" At the moment when the French expedition is about
taking its departure for Civita Vecchia, it appears to us
to be both useful and necessary to give a little resume
of the diplomatic negotiations which have taken place
between France, Austria, Spain, and the King of Naples,
for the purpose of restoring the Pope to his throne.
"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 assistance in
favour of the Iloly 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 Esterhazy, the Austriaa 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 and France
should remain ready to act, but in obversation. That
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 remain at
anchor at Civita Vecchia, to give a moral support to
the Spanish and Neapolitan expedition. At the same
time, and for the same object, an Austrian corps of
20,e00 men should hold itself in readiness to occupy
the Legations, i❑ 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 Civitt Vecchia, the Cabinet of Madrid not having
means fur that purpose. France alone could accomplish
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 great se-
verity towards the higher branches of the clergy at
Rome, whom they accused of keeping up secret commu-
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 by the
Court of Vienna to the French Government on this oc-

casion was this, ' Austria only pursues in Germany, in
Hungary, and in Italy, one line of policy, that of serving
society, which is threatened by an unbridled demagogy;
that accomplished, far from seeking to shackle or impede
the regular development of liberal institutions i❑ Eu-
rope, she would favour it on the bases of constitutional
liberty.'
" Austria did not conceal from France that in case the
latter could not or would nut intervene in the states of

the Cbu-cli, that an Imperial army would nevertheless
be placed at the disposal 01 the Pupe. This last decla-
ration determined the French Cabinet to send the expe-
dition to Civita Vecchia.

" The Austrian and French armies will only follow
the direction of the Pope. Waiting those, the latter will
remain at Civita Vecchia, while the former will remain
between Modena and Ferrara, ready to occupy the Lega-
tions. If the occupation of Rome should become neces-
sary, the two armies will be simultaneously called on to
re-establish and to consolidate order.
" The intervention in the States of the Church and
intervention in Tuscany are two disti❑ct questions. The
former is at the fot mat trh mand of the Pope. Nothing
of that kind has taken place on the part of the Grand
Duke of Tuscany. It is perfectly incorrect to say that
he has demanded the assistance of Austria, or that the
Imperial troops have already marched ou Florence.
" The Cabinet of Vienna has confined itself to ex-

pressing its leg.il reservations with regard to rever-
sionary rights on Tuscany as guaranteed by treaties.
By abstaining from any intervention Austria has pro-
tested beforehand against any intervention but her own,
on the ground that in virtue of existing treaties Austria
has the first right to be called on to protect the Tuscan
crown, acquired to the collateral line of the House of
Lorraine."

There was a disturbance at an electoral meeting
held in the Rue Dui:hot, in support of the Legiti-
matist candidate M. DE LAROCIIEJACQUELIN. Several
Socialists were present, who outvoted the Legitima-
tists, and then prcceeded to sing the " Marseiltaise"
and the " Girondins."
it was rumoured in the Assembly that a modifi-
cation was about to take place in the Ministry, and
that General BEDEAU would be entrusted with the
portfolio of Foreign Affairs, while that of War would
be committed to General LAmottictErtz.
The Debats publishes the following note addressed
to it by General FADVIER
"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 rt quested General Fabvier to come to
visit his army, and give him advice on the campaign
about to be opened, the General calling to mind the 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 confi-
dence upon a General of France and her army, and
the whole nation followed Ms Majesty's example. The
General soon found that the Danish army was worthy
of its noble country, one of those nations which do
honour to humanity. The armistice was to expire on
March 26. On the 20th, a plan of operations was unani-
mously adopted by the Council. Success was certain,
and in one week the invaded province would have been
delivered. A prolongation of eight days is the armis-
tice changed all. An act unheard of 1 In contempt of
the mediating Cabinets, 40,000 Germans, followed
quickly by 20,000 more, were thrown into the duchies
by the Asse•tubly of Frankfurt. 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 convicced of the necessity
of keeping the Danish army in reserve until the day,
near at hand, no doubt, when Europe would ope❑ 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 other
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 arid the Minister of War, who
is his friend more particularly, returned to France, his
presence in Denmark being henceforth of little use, and
the term of his absence being at an end."
The Monne'''. publishes the following information
with respect to the late arrest of the Count Dla
MONTEMOLIN :
" The prefect of the Eastern Pyrenees informed the
Minister of the Interior, on the sth of April, that the
Count de Montemolin had been arrested at the moment
when he was preparing to cress the frontier and to pass
into Cutalenia. 'The Government has decided that the
Prince should be reconductod into England. On the
loth of April, at half-past five P.M., the Count left Per-
pignan for Calais, in a private carriage. M. de Corriere,
