DIA72IITI.

The mandate of the Swiss Federal Council prohibiting
Alazzini from residing at Lugano or in any of the cantons
adjoining the French or Italian frontier, has been pub.
fished. It charges the Republican leader with pursuing,
during a long course of years, a policy of hostility to the
present political organisation of Italy ; and in particular
with planning thu conspiracy at Milan. His complicity in
the last scheme of insurrection is proved by "important
documents."

ANOTHER SHIP CANAL PROJECT.
The success of the Suez Canal has encouraged the
French engineers. The municipal council of Bordeaux
are now considering the stupendous project of cutting a
ship canal across the south of France, from the Bay of
Biscay to the Mediterranean. The canal will start from.

CHRISTIANITY IN MADAGASCAR.
It has been several times announced that the Queen of
Madagascar has been converted to Christianity. The
Patric positively denies this statement. Queen Ranavalo
11. is very friendly to all Christians, particularly, adds
the Paris journal, to the French Roman Catholic mis-
sionaries, to whom she has confided the education of her
son, the heir to the throne ; but she has not shewn any
inclination to personally abandon the native religion. In
fact, she dare not. The people of Madagascar are so pre-
judiced that such an act would be attended with the
"reatest danger.
