BULGARIA.

The Patriarch of the Greek Church has just pub-
lished au encyclical letter, containing some impor-
tant concessions to the Bulgarians—granting them,
in fact, reforms which, given some months ago, might
have averted the renunciation of his authority. It
says :

" 1. Priests of Bulgarian origin, duty qualified,
and possessing the qualifications prescribed by the
canons of the Church, shall be ordained Archbishops
and Bishops in purely Bulgarian dioceses.
"2. If the Christians of a diocese purely Bul-
garian, unanimously demand for their pastor an
individual possessing the requisite qualifications'
and by his antecedents favourably known to the
High Church, their wish shall be accorded.

" 3. Theological colleges for the education of the
Bulgarian clergy shall be established in purelyßul-
gain dioceses. The Christians of the dioceses

where these institutions are established, will be
called upon to provide the neccEsary funds for their
mainterinuce; the Bulgari9ns and members of the
orthodox Church in orthodox dioceses contributing
also thereto. The course of studies will be set
forth in. a programme furnished by the High
Church.

" 4. The surveillance over these institutions shall
be entrusted to the Archbishop of the diocese, and
to a fixed council, composed of the clergy and
laity, possessing a sufficient knowledge of theologi-
cal subjects.

"5. In all the Bulgarian colleges, the principal
studies shall be those of language and philology, in
conformity with the principles of our holy religion,
and our duties towards the Imperial Government.
" 6. The Archbishop and the Council shall oc-
cupy themselves with the details of the service of
the schools, the election of the professors, and of
any infringements of the regulations.

" 7. Two Bulgarian Archbishops shall take part,
as formerly, every two years in the Holy Synod,
in the election of the cEcumenical Patriarch.
" 8. Bulgarian youths shall be received as for-
merly, in the theological school of Halki, to pursue
their studies.

"9. The powers of the Archbishops and Bishops
of Bulgaria, shall be regulated by a special decree.
_ _ _ _ _

" 10. Bulgarian noblemen resident in Constan-
tinople shall be received as members of the
communal assembly, and other national institu-

tions.

" 11. An institution for secular instruction shall
be instituted within the circumscription of the
Bulgarian Church at Constantinople, for the edu-
cation of the Bulgarian youth. It shall be directed
by a council of native noblemen under the surveil-
lance of the High Church.
" 12. Patriarchal letters, and other ecclesiastical
communications, addressed to purely Bulgarian
dioceses, shall be written in the Bulgarian language.
_ _ _ _

" 13. The High Church will endeavour as an
invariable rule to hear favourably the petitions
which may be addressed to it, and to give a
favourable reply to matters which may be brought
under its notice on the part of the Bulgarians.
" 14. The High Church will hasten, if the cir-
cumstances of the case should so demand, eccle-
siastical inquiries into the conduct of Archbishops,
Bishops, Priests, and Professors, and will as an
invariable rule reform the abuses, and correct the
imperfections whieh shall be pointed cut."

THE DUC D'AUMALE'S PAMPHLET.

The following passage from the " Lettro sur
l'Histoire do France,' by the Duc D'Aumale, refers
to the request which the late Prince Jerome, when
in Paris in 1847, with his son Prince Napoleon,
addressed to Louis Philippe for a pension and a
peerage :
" Yes ! I can understand your anger when you
think of the revolution of February. Had that re-
volution broken out but a few months later, it would
have found your father in the Chamber of Peers,
and provided with a handsome endowment with
reversion to yourself. Have you by chance for-
gotten the steps taken by King Jerome and your-
self, and their success, in 1817—the favour accorded
to you to return to France, whence the law had
banished you ; and the kind reception you met with
at St. Cloud? Why, among the ushers who now
crowd the antechambers of the Emperor 3 ou might
recognise the very men who introduced you to the
private room of Louis Philippe when you went to
thank him for his goodness to you and to solicit
new favours. Open the Army List, look at the
names of the generals on the retired list. You will
find there the name of the aide-de-camp of that
same king who was charged in 1830 with receiv-
ing in Paris Queen Hortense and her son, now your
Emperor. The King had certainly violated the
law by permitting your aunt to return to France,
and, what is worse, had done so without the know-

ledge of his Ministers. I believe it is the only un-
constitutional act he can be reproached with. But
there are a few details which are worth mention-

ing. The day after the King of the French gave
audience to Queen Hortense a Cabinet Council was
held. What news, gentlemen ?' said the King as
e took his seat, 'Very serious news, Sire,' answered
Marshal Soult ; I know for certain, from the re-
ports of the gendarmerie, that the Duchess of St.
Leu (Queen Hortense, mother of the Emperor
Napoleon III.) and her son have passed through the
South of France.' The King smiled. Sire,' said M.
Casimir Perier, can complete the information which
the Marshal has just given you. Not only has
Queen Hortense passed through the South of
France, but she is now in Paris, and your Majesty
received her yesterday.' You are so, well in-
formed, my dear Minister,' said the King, ' that
you do not allow me time to tell you any-
thing.' But I, Sire, have something more to tell
you. Did not the Duchess of St. Leu present ex-
cuses in the name of her son, who was obliged to
keep his room in consequence of indisposition ? '
' She did.' Well, then, Sire, do not feel uneasy
about him ;he is not ill. At the very moment
your Majesty was receiving the mother the son
was holding a conference with the chief leaders of
the Republican party, and seeking with them the
best means of overthrowing your throne. Louis
Philippe took no account of this information ; but,
the intrigues continuing, the Minister, who was a
little more independent than those who now
explain so clearly to the Chambers theinten-
tions of your cousin, took upon himself to put
an end to the visit to Paris of Queen Hortense
and her son. As I write, the wrongs you
have suffered from the House of Orleans crowd
on my memory. There is one of the maxims of your
Government, an essential maxim, which Louis
Philippe was too good natured to have applied.
Should Legitimists,' you said, or exalted Repub-
licans, attempt with 1,000 or 1,500 men a descent
on our coasts we should well and beautifully shoot
them.' Now, it so happens that, under the Govern-
ment of July, there was an incursion at Strasburg
and there was a descent at Boulogne, but there was
no one shot. A grave fault, no doubt. Well, then,
the Orleanists are incorrigible ; and had they to
begin again I verily believe they would be as cle-
ment as ever. But, as for the Bonapartes, when the
question is one of shooting, they certainly keep
their word ; and, Prince, of all the promises that
you and yours have made, or could make, that is
the only one on the execution of which I should
count.'"

THE 73RIGH7ON PRESENTATION TO
GAEIBALDT.

The following communications relating to the
watch lately sent from Brighton to General Gari-
baldi, purchased by the penny subscriptions of
17,000 persons, have been received :
To Mr. W. Coningham, M.P.

April 11, 1861.
Be pleased to express my feelings of great grati-
tude to the English workmen—to which good and
laborious class I am proud to belong—for the valu-
able gift which they have transmitted to me through
you. I knew that the hour of Italian nationality
was marked on the dial-plate of time. But observing
that in my own country many denied this, because
the couniels of the foreigner, and dastardly fears,
would have it so, it is a great comfort to me to find
that hour indicated by the watch that the people of
Brighton have given to me. With the greatest re-
gard, I subscribe myself, yours, and ever yours,
(Signed) G. GARIBALDI.

To William Coningham,

'Turin,
April 11, 1861.
My dear have but a moment to say that
the General almost wept with emotion when I told
him that " 17,000 people" had sent him the watch,
saying, " It is too good for me, and too much kind-
ness on their part." He hopes you will excuse his
not writing the whole letter himself, as he is ill in
bed, but it was written word for word at his dicta-
tion, and is signed by him,—Very truly your most
obedient servant,
(Signed) Wm, Dz &RAN, Capt,
