de Lhuys, dated War 30, 1864, of the stipula-
tions contained in the reaty of last year. Here are
the words used in he despatch—" Among the'
violent means which laly is interdicted from em-
ploying may be enumerated revolutionary
manoeuvres upon the Pontifical territory, as well
as all incitement interned to produce insurrectionary
movements." Should Garibaldi now refuse to re-
nounce his insurrectimary projects relative to Rome
the Italian Ministry intend to convoke an extraordi-
nary meeting of the Cl Amber to deliberate upon the
best course to be adored.
A new warlike prjectile of a formidable cha-
racter has been triedin the port of Calais. The
peculiarity of this shel is that the exact distance at
which it will explode s ascertained. That distance
is 400 metres.

Great interest is manifested just now by archeo-
logists, artists, and itdeed casual visitors to Paris,
in the inspection of th: important works of restora-
tion in progress at tie very ancient church of St.
Denis, which had for origin the modest tomb of
the first Bishop of Pais and the companions of his
martyrdom. Alreadvelebrated before the invasion
of the Franks, the chtrch erected by the faithful at
the tomb of St. Dens, the magnificence of which
was spoken of by Gegory de Tours, was recon-
structed, first by Saint, Genevieve, and afterwards,
towards 630, by Dagcoert, with still greater splen-
dour. In his time Kin; Pepin undertook to rebuild
the church of St. Dens, and spared no pains in the
endeavour to surpass he work of the Merovingian
Prince. Charlemagnf finished the edifice, and con-
secrated it in 775. 11the 12th century the church
was entirely rebuilt lithe Abbd Suger, but a great
portion of the crypt d the Carlovingian period was
preserved. It was, lowever, built in haste, and a
century afterwards itseemed as if it would fall into
ruins. Saint Louis, therefore, ordered a great por-
tion of it to be rebuit. Formerly the cloister of St.
Denis contained the bodies of all the Kings of
France from the time of Dagobert. On the right
of the passage to the sanctuary was the tomb of
Dagobert, richly painted and gilt, and to the lef t
that of two sons of nilippe le Bel. In the chapel
of Notre Dame la Blanche was the tomb of the
two daughters of King Charles the Fourth. All
the tombs of the French kings which were not
destroyed during the Revolution of 1793 are now
to be seen in this chanh. The tombs of Louis the
Twelfth, Francis the Tirst, and Henry the Second
are preserved exactly is their original state. Some
of these monuments ar, very remarkable as evincing
the state of art in the twelfth and fifteenth
centuries. Visitors wto come to Paris to see the
Exhibition should notomit to inspect the artistic
and archeological richs presented in the ancient
church of St. Denis, sl intimately connected with
important historical recollections. There is fre-
quent communication br rail, and plenty of vehicles
also.

The Memorial Diplematique says :—" We have
reason to believe that on Wednesday the Pope's
Nuncio at Paris went ;o the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs to express to the Emperor, through the me-
dium of the Marquis de IVoustier, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, the sentiments of gratitude felt by his
Holiness on occasion of the arrest of Garibaldi. The
Pontifical Government acknowledges that the ex-
cellent measures adopteC, with the view of frustrating
the projected expedition against the Roman States,
are due to the inflame of the Cabinet of the
Tuileries."

M. Frederic Thomas, the manager of the Epoque,
and M. Arthur Arnoul, the editor of that paper,
have appeared before the Tribunal of Correctional
Police, charged with having inserted an article de-
famatory of the sergeants de ville or police officers.
In this article it was statEd, that of the 4,000 officers
employed in the city of Paris 3,499 committed
excesses against the peaceable citizens, and behaved
with great brutality. The officers were also charged
with insolence and violence, and general arbitrary
conduct. The Tribunal decided that the defendants
htd committed au offence provided for by article
60 of the Penal Code, and condemned Terme to
pay a fine of 200 f., and fined Arnoul 600 f., and
ordered the defendants to pay the expenses.

Frequent instances of robbery by night in Paris
and the suburbs are mentioned by the papers.
Some daring thieves have made several attacks upon
the police officers, and in one case they robbed an
officer of his watch and chain.

The weather has been bright to-day, but a very
cold wind still prevails.

ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT JUAREZ.

The following address of President Juarez is pub-
[ished in the Mexican Standard of the 26th Aug.:—

" Benito Juarez, Constitutional President of the
United States of Mexico.

yenitnrust their destinies, I
" To my Fellow-Citizens,---Convening the people
the election of public
officerstn e x e

have fulfilled my duty. And at the same time I
oe imr stohve eyr emi ga ny t
have discharged another duty, inspired by conscience
and my convictions, in the proposal I make to the
people for the reform of certain points in the con-
stitution, in order that they may resolve the ques-
tion by their free and sovereign will. My
adminis-
tration never had and never shall have any other
rule of conduct than faithful respect for the national
will. All the reforms made during my adminis-
tration have been to develope and improve the prin-
ciples of the constitution of the republic. Those
proposed in the Cony ocatoria have no other and can
have no other aim. The points there discussed are
the sentiments of my profound convictions. After
mature meditation on the past, with the aid of the
experience of some years in the government, and
with the examples before me of our own history and
that of other republics which, under their wise insti-
tutions, enjoy a permanent guarantee of liberty, a
pledge of peace, and a source of greatness and pros-
perity, I have Tentured to propose them to the
people. Nevertheless, there are those who pretend
to censure the conduct of the Government ; and in
order that my silence may not be misinterpreted,
I have conceived it my duty to address my fellow-
citizens. Now that lam oilee more in the capital,
I see, as I have before seen on similar occa-
sions, that there are those who assume to change
the conduct and the policy of the Government; but
it is my duty to stand firmly by my resolution to
do that which is right without being swayed by
those who represent only the small minority and
not the national will of the people. It is evident
that those who make these pretensions are the few ;
it is evident that they do not represent the opinion
of the numerous party even in the capital. Ido
not, therefore, deem it necessary to address myself
to the inhabitants of this city, whose loyalty is
already manifested by these facts. I address
myself to the inhabitants of the States, where, by
not being present to see what passes, public
opinion may possibly be misled. I address myself
to the States, in order that they may be able to
judge correctly upon the facts, availing themselves
of the lessons they have learnt from the experience
of other times. It has been pretended that my
opinions differ from those of the members of my
Cabinet. The old members considered, when leav-
ing San Luis for the capital, that their duty to the
country had been fulfilled, and desired to separate
themselves from the Government. Now, again, they
have offered their resignations, and those members
of the Cabinet lately appointed have followed their
example ; their object has been to leave me in
full liberty of action. But I have not deemed it
my duty to accept their resignations, because there
has been no discord in our opinions, and be-
cause I have the fullest confidence in their rectitude
and their loyalty. My sole aspiration is faithfully
to serve the interests of the people and honestly
to respect the national will. To defend and
sustain our institutions has ever been the application
of the power vested in my hands. That I serve my
country faithfully, and that I love liberty, is de-
monstrated by my public career. Mexicans ! it is
your right to decide freely upon the reforms I have
proposed to you. And soon it will be in your
power to do so—when you elect the public officers
who shall direct your destinies. I shall now simply
repeat that it has been my sole object to propose to
you that which I deem beneficial for your dearest
interests, and these interests are, security for peace
in the future and consolidation of our institutions.
Happy indeed shall I be if before my death I am
witness to their enduring consolidation.:
(Signed) " BENITO JUAREZ.
