PARIS, THURSDAY.
The Emperor yesterday received a letter in which
the Emperor of Austria notifies to his Majesty the
death of the Princess Marguerite, wife of the
Archduke Charles-Louis, his brother. The French
Court has gone into mourning for a week.
The lloniteur publishes a long report from the
Governor of Senegal to Prince Napoleon, as
Minister of the Colonies, giving a detailed account
of the expedition to the gold mines of Bambouck,
of which a description has already been given in
the Messenger.
The Ami de la Religion had hitherto abstained
from entering into the discussion relative to the
young Israelite of Bologna, and its silence seemed
to prove that it did not think it right to defend
the acts of the clergy of Rome in this case, in
which their excess of zeal has been so injurious to
the interests of the Church. But in its last num-
ber that journal, whilst still abstaining from
touching on the merits of the affair, publishes the
following lines :—" As to the connection which is
attempted to be established between the Univers
and the Holy See, it does not exist. We seek in
vain for a Pontifical bull which recognises in that
journal any right whatsoever to speak in the name
of the Pope and the Church, or which authorises it
to ascribe to the Holy See the principles which
direct the discussion of the. Univers."
The Courrier de Paris, in reference to this de-
claration, says—" We should be very happy to share
the opinion of the Arni de la Religion ; but there
is unfortunately between the acts of the Roman
Church and the theories of the Univers such an
identity that it is impossible not to recognise the
connection, if not official, at least real, which exists
between them."
The " Universal Christian Alliance" of Paris, of
which the President is M. Monin-Japy, has ad-
dressed a communication to the Pope on the Mor-
tara affair. It begins by saying that " a domestic
misfortune, elevated almost to the height of a uni-
versal calamity, occupies at this moment the atten-
tion of nations." It then gives a short account of
the affair, and enters into arguments to prove that
the clandestine baptism of the child does not
warrant his being carried off from his parents.
"If it did," the address continues, "we French-
men should find the same blow reaching in
France not only the Mussulmans who have be-
come our countrymen in the most important of our
colonies—not only the Protestants, whose fathers
were formerly subjected to the same odious treat-
ment and the same moral tortures, and to whom we
must not show the possibility of the return of those
days of sorrow and agony—not only the Greek
Christians and all whom the Roman Catholic Church
considers schismatics—but the Catholics themselves,
as soon as, from motives more or less well-founded,
the purity of their faith might be suspected, and
the Christian education of their children under
their paternal direction considered in danger."
" A short time ago we defended
The-document, after some other vigorous remon-
bsterfaonrecetsh,
e Kingsays:— of Sweden the cause of toleration
and equity in favour of some females converted to
Catholicism, and for that motive having incurred
in Sweden a grave condemnation. At present it is
to the supreme and venerated chief of the Catholic
form of worship that we address a humble request
inspired by the same Christian sentiment. . . .
Restore, 0 Holy Father, peace and happiness to
the parents of the young Mortara, and security to
all those in whom the abduction of that child has,
excited disquietude acid distrust. Minister of God
on earth, show to all men that you can protect and
bless !"

The Echo of Oran contains the following :
By the. last mail from Gibraltar and.' Tangiers,

there. arrived here as passenger, 111. Jacques Alta-
ras,.sen., the head of a highly respectable house
at Marseilles, which carries on business with Mo-
rocco, and which three years ago established a
line of steamers between Marseilles and Mogador.
M. Altaras has just travelled over a great part of
Morocco. After having visited all the towns on
the coast, he penetrated into `the interior, and suc-
cessively visited El Hassar, Wazan, and the two
capitals, Fez and Mequinez. In the last named
city he was received by Muley Abd el Raman,
whom he had the honour of seeing three years
before at Morocco. This traveller has gone through
all these localities without any molestation in his
national dress; and in many parts of the country
the European costume had never before been seen.
M. Altaras has collected some very valuable infor-
mation on a country which has hitherto been so
little known, and has brought with him specimens
of rich tissues in silk and gold manufactured at
Fez and Miqucnez, in order to submit them to the
inspection of the manufacturers of Lyons."
