General Goyon, declaring that several journals 1
have given a very inaccurate account of the pro-
ceedings of the 19th March. He says he cannot
admit, as has been pretended, that the French
officers brought about the release of the persons
arrested by the pontifical gendarmes. The general
also protests against this supposition, as incom-
patible with discipline, and concludes by saying :
"We are all conscious of our duty, and the object
of our mission is to assist the Pope to the best of

our power."
NAPLES MARCH 31 (VIA MARSEILLES).
The rumours concerning an approaching Minis.

Copies of Mr. Elliot's despatches are widely dis-
tributed.
About thirty prisoners, among whom was Signor
Gatti, have passed through the street Toledo, and

A Capuchin monk has been prosecuted at the

VIENNA, APRIL 3.

The Oesterreichische Zeitung states from a re-
liable source that tUe Neapolitan army will not
enter the States of the Church.
It is asserted that the three northern courts have
agreed to occupy themselves with the demands of
Switzerland simply in the usual diplomatic way
because the Great Powers, by assembling in a Con-
gress to consider the claims of Switzerland, would
tacitly and implicitly recognise the legality of the
annexation of Savoy to France. Therefore, they
intend to abstain from taking part in a Congress or
Conference the object of which would be the settle-
ment of the question of the annexation.
The Budget will be published shortly.

FRANCE.

(FROM TIIE PARIS CORRESPONDENT OF THE TIMES.)
My Spanish letters have alluded lately to a pro-
jected movement on the part of the Carlists in
Spain. We have to-day the intelligence that a
movement under unusually serious circumstances has
actually taken place. What the telegraph announces
is this, that General Ortega, at the head of 3,000
men, has proclaimed the Pretender, Don Carlos,
King of Spain, by the title of Charles VI. ; and
that the movement was at the latest date concen-
trated at Tortosa, near Valencia.
From my own private sources I learn that Count
Montemolin, now proclaimed as Charles VI., arrived
in Paris 10 or 12 days back ; that he met here
Cabrera (with whom he became reconciled after
a long estrangement), General Elio, and some
others of less note ; that he proceeded to the
Balearic Islands, of which Ortega, formerly an ultra-
democrat, was Captain-General ; that Ortega and
the garrison proclaimed Don Carlos; that they
landed at Valencia, where they were well received,
and Montemolin also proclaimed, it is said, by the
troops. Montemolin was accompanied by Cabrera
and Elio in the expedition ; Elio, who is a native
of Navarre, no doubt to try to raise the north, and
Cabrera Catalonia and part of Valencia. A friend
of Cabrera has advanced £24,000 to Montemolin.
M. Louis Veuillot, the ex-editor of the Univers,
left Paris some six weeks or two months since for
Rome. He had, after the suppression of his paper,
accepted from a French capitalist the place of in-
spector of the Roman railroads. On leaving Paris
he found himself in the same carriage with a re-
spectable looking man, of good address and agree-
able manners. They soon entered into conversa-
tion ; the stranger appeared charmed at finding
himself with so famous a person, and M. Veuillot
learned with pleasure that his attractive acquaint-
ance was also on his way to Rome on some com-
mercial matters. They agreed to travel in the same
carriage, to put up at the same hotels, and even to
descend at the same lodging-house in the Eternal
City. Their acquaintance grew closer as they
went along, and by the time they reached the end
of their journey they were to all appearance the
best friends in the world. M. Veuillot announced
after some weeks that circumstances compelled
him to return to Paris. His friend expressed deep
regret at his speedy departure, and said that he
himself wanted only two or three days more to
finish his business, when he also intended returning
to France, and that, it was a pity they could not
come back together ! M. Veuillot observed that
after all, a day or two did not much matter, and
that he should wait for him. He did wait, and both
arrived in Paris last Sunday morning. They pro-
ceeded to the same hotel. M. Veuillot went out for
a bath ; his friend took another direction. On the
former returning to his lodging he was informed, to
his astonishment, that police agents had been to his
apartment, and had seized his portmanteau, contain-
ing his papers, &c. He went at once to the Pre-
fecture of Police, and one of the first persons he be-
held was the amiable companion of his journey,
who turned out to be nothing more or less than an
agent of the secret police. He gave information
that M. Veuillot had brought important despatches
for the Papal Nuncio in Paris. M. Veuillot de-
manded his papers ; some were restored to him, but
the greater part, to the address of the Nuncio, re-
tained. He went off instantly to the Nuncio, and
informed him of what had happened. His Ex-
cellency was greatly excited; he went straight to
the Foreign-office, demanded explanations, and de-
clared that if kis papers were not given up he
should there and then break off all diplomatic re-
lations with the French Government, demand his
passports, and quit Paris. It was explained that
the seizure of the papers was in consequence of
information being given that M. Veuillot was made
the channel of communication between the clergy
and the Court of Rome, with a view to certain
manifestations on the pact of the clergy in the
matter of the bulls of excommunication. The
Nuncio's demand was, however, complied with, and
the papers given up.
In the committee of the Legislative Body on the
bill for reducing the levy of the class of 1859 for
the army from 140,000 to 100,000 men, an amend-
ment was proposed to fix the number at 80,000
only, but it was rejected. The committee on the
bill has just presented its report, and that docu-
ment gives the following reasons for maintain-
ing the levy proposed by the Government :
" This number of 100,000 men, which appears
enormous to some persons, has for its object to
procure to France an army of 600,000 men to
oppose to foreign Powers. Several great Powers
of Europe possess each an army of 600,000 men at
least, and we cannot And ought not, in reason, to
remain below that figure. Let us hasten to say
also that one of the serious reasons which causes
the Government to take as a basis the number
of 100,000 reposes on a sentiment of equity ; for
if we were always to wait for war to fix the num-
ber of the contingent, the supplement of the 40,000
men would have to be provided, as has already
been the case, entirely by one class. The num-
ber of 100,000 men is then our real and neces-
sary contingent for the future ; for, deducting
the men who have to be set aside, it only gives
86,000 men for the army ; and, if you examine the
result of seven levies of 100,000 men, you will find,
deductions being made of ordinary losses, and with-
