PARIS, DEC. 26.

The Constitutionnel of to-day, in an article signed
by the principal editor, M. Grandguellot, says the
Times is perfectly correct in considering the pam-
phlet " Le Pape et le Conges" as a political expres-
sion of the good understanding and cohciliation
between France and England.
The Constitutionnel congratulates itself on the
result, as it is necessary that the two great nations
of the West remain united in the interest of civili-
zation and of the European equilibrium. M. Grand-
guillot calls, however, the attention of his readers
to the difference in the political motives of the two
nations, and states that France, far from intending
to destroy the temporal power of the Pope, will, on
the contrary, consolidate it by transforming it ac-
cording to the wants of modern times.

PARIS, DEC. 25.

It is stated that the Papal Nuncio visited Count
Walewski yesterday in order to demand explana-

Calderon Colantes will be First Plenipotentiary of
Spain at the Congress, Senor Martinez de la Rosa

error in their interpretation of the pamphlet " Le
Pape et le Congres," which, according to the Pays,
guarantees to the Pope all his present possessions.

VIENNA, DEC. 23.

The following official denial has been given to
some statements published lately in different news-

papers :

The reports of numerous arrests having taken
place in consequence of the meeting of Protestants

The authorities have brought accusations against
three persons only, for having excited the inhabi-
tant* to disobedience, but these three persons have
been set at liberty,
Two domiciliary visits have taken place by order
of the competent tribunal and not of the police.

MARSEILLES, DEC. 24.

Letters from Constantinople of the 14th instant
state that after numerous sittings of the Divan a
definitive resolution was adopted, calling upon
Europe to settle the Suez canal question in its
political bearing by guaranteeing the integrity of
the Turkish Empire. M. Thouvenel and the foar
other ambassadors had agreed to that arrangement.
The Grand Vizier and Fuad Pacha had drawn up
the necessary notifications to that effect, which
were to be sent to the different Powers.

The Bulgarians, to escape the tyranny of the
Pacha, were seeking refuge in large numbers in
Servia. There was some rumour of the Turkish
Government intending to interfere.
The religious investiture had been granted to the
Bey of Tunis, but the Porte claimed tribute from
him.

TIIE BOURSE, Dec. 24.—The market has been
dull, but without any material change in prices;

843 f. 75c. ; Lyons, 936 f. 25c. to 938 f. 75c.; Orleans,

A letter from Paris says—" It is thought by
some in Spain that the English Government might
do something towards mitigating the horrors of this
ill-advised war. England is now the only Power
that has an accredited agent in Morocco ; and the
English Government might use its influence with
the Sultan with as good a chance of success as be-
tween Carlists and Christinos. The attempt could
do no harm, and might do much good. At all
events it is worth trying. I hear that, in order to
check as much as possible the practice of reprisals,
General O'Donnell offers an ounce of gold (about
£3 95.) for every Moor brought in prisoner. The
officer who is to command the Basque volunteers
came to Paris a few days ago, with three or
four members of the Provincial Deputation, with
the object of purchasing equipments for his men;
They proceeded to Liege to buy muskets, but it
appears Liege was exhausted; and they have
finally gone to England to try their chance there."
