LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)
FRANCE.

PARIS, March 26th.

The Constitutionnel of this morning says —" The
answer of Cardinal Antonelli to Count Daru's recent
de3patch endeavours to prove that the twenty-one
canons of the Schema do not bear the interpretation
which the French Cabinet attributes to them.

" The Cardinal adds, "When discussed in the
Council they may be considerably modified. The
Church does not contemplate interfering with poli-
tics, and the canons referred to were not of a nature
to cause France to abandon her attitude of absten-
tion with regard to the Council."
The Cardinal concludes by expressing a hope that
after these explanations France will not think her-
self justified in persisting in Count Daru's de-
mands.

THE TRIAL OF PRINCE BUONAPARTE.
Toußs, March 25.

The trial of Prince 13nonaparte was continued to-
day. The President informed the counsel engaged
in the case, that he will put before the jury to-day
as the result of the trial the question whether
the Prince was not justified by provocation in
acting as he did ?

M. Jeroux said that be would plead that the Prince
had only acted in his legitimate defence.
Doctors Sardieu and Pinel were confronted, when
a juryman asked Dr. Sardieu if Victor Noir, being
mortally wounded, could holn his -bat in his hand
while falling ?
Dr. Sardieu replied affirmatively.

Maitre Flocquet, counsel for the Noir family, re•
sumed pleading. He sought to prove that the pri.
Boner did not act in legitimate self-defence.
The Prince here appeared grealy excited, an
said a few words, but was interrupted by the Presi-
dent.

Maitre Flocquet continned his speech, and called
upon the jury to find the prisoner guilty of murder,
as the hypothesis of his having received a blow was
inadmissible.

After Maitre Flocquet's speech the sitting was
suspended for one hour, and resumed at 3.15.
Maitre Laurier then proceeded to address the
Court, and spoke in eulogstic terms of Victor
Noir. Speaking of the Prince Le said that his
career had been bloodstained throughout, and while
describing the fatal scene at Auteuil, he observed
that it might be asked whether it took place in
the house of a Bonaparte or of a Borgia. This
caused a great sensation in Court, and the President
recommended M. Laurier to be moderate in his
expression, but M. Laurier main'ained his right
of liberty of speech, and said the prisoner's utterly
undisciplined manner showed he had been the
aggressor at Auteuil.
Maitre Laurier maintained that Noir could not
have struck a blow, since his gloves were intact
and his hat was in his hand when falling. Ile con-
cluded by saying, " Victcr Noir has acquired a mar-
tyr's immortality ; the prisoner—the immortali y of
infamy." The prisoner protested against this lan-
guage, and Maitre Laurier was rebuked fer it by the
Pr, sident. The sitting closed at 4.50.

ITALY.

FLORENCE, March 25.

The Official Gazette says :—" The Government,
being in possession of clear evidence of a shortly
intenied:Republican movement, have forewarned the
authorities of those towns where either disorders are
probable or strikes going on."
The paper proceeds to report on the known facts
which have occurred at Pavia, and further states
that the same night at Piacenza a crowd of 100
rioters appeared before the barracks, shouting sedi-
t o❑s cries, asking the soldiers to open the gates,
and even trying to force an entrance. In this they
failed, and took to flight, when two of their num-
ber were arrested. The town is tranquil, and much
indignation prevails against the disturbers. Yester-
day morning, the paper adds, seventy individuals
formed themselves into a band at Brisighella, near
Faenza, and marched in the direction of Bologna.
Advices from the latter place speak of the exist-
ence of a plot to collect a ,large assembly of yourg
men with arms in that city, but the precautionary
measures taken caused their designs to be aban-
cldned. A few arrests were made. The townspeople
themselves were ignorant of the intended outbreak,
and tranquillity has not been disturbed.
