BELGIUM.
The Belgian Minister of War, General Breten,
has just acylressed the following circular to colonel*
of regiments :
" Sir,—l have the honour to beg of you to give orders
that such of the officers of the army as may desire to
ex.-rcise their civic rights in the coming elections of the
Chamber of Representatives shall not be prevented from
ea doing under any pretext. I also beg of you to inform
the officers that, in conformity with a decision of WI
predecessor, they are authorised to present themselves in
plain clothes in their respective sections, Art. 22 of the
electoral law formally forbidding them to appear in
arm."

ITALY.
ROME, Dec. 5.—A1l Rome is talking about the
arrest of the Marquis Campana, director of the
Monte di Pieta, which unexpected event took place
at that establishment on Saturday morning soon
after the marquis had arrived from his palace in
the Via del Babuino for the usual transaction of
business. The Procuratore Fiscale and some
subordinate officials having gone through the
ceremony of verifying the amount of funds in the
chests of the establishment, and havingfound a deficit
in cash of several hundred thousand Lcudi, in place of
which were receipts and acknowledgments signed by
the marquis, handed him to the custody of a squad Of
sbsrri, who were waiting in the piazza below, and
who conveyed him forthwith to the guardhouse at
Monte Citorio, and thence to the prison of San
Michele. The news having spread like wildfire
amongst the poor people in the quarter around the
Monte di Pieta, to whom the marquis, both in his
private character and as a director of that establish-
ment, has been for years a patron and benefactor,
such signs of popular dissatisfaction were manifested
as to induce the Government to give orders for the
troops to be detained in their barracks, the French
general giving similar orders to his own forces, so
as to be ready to act in any emergency or attempt
to release the prisoner.
The merits of this case which are already being ac
tively discussed before the tribunal of public opinion,
which appear to be far more favourable to the
marquis than the criminal tribunal, before which
his trial for " abuse of power" is to take place, will
probably show itself.
The Marchesa Campana, on hearing of her hus-
band's arrest, immediately waited upon Cardinal
Antouelli and the French Ambassador, and made
every other exertion in his behalf. It is even
asserted that she telegraphed the news to the
Emperor Napoleon, upon whose gratitude she
hat* a continual claim, for having, when Mies
Bowles, romantic dly Assisted him to escape from
confinement in the Cas.le of Ham.
Cardinal Tosti, director of the college and hosPitel
of San Michele, was shocked at his friend the mar;
quis being brought to the adjoining prisons, gnu,
offered him the use of his own apartment, if allowed
by the Government.
Yesterday evening the medical man in attend'
ance on the marquis (M. Orison) was placed in
arrest.

SPAIN.
The Madrid journals of the 6th say that 311•
Barilli, the Pope's nuncio, whose arrival in that
city bas been announced by telegraph, made his entry
in a carriage and four, escorted by a detachment
of lancers, and followed by another carriage, con-
taining his principal attendants, drawn by six mules'
He took up his residence in a house prepared for
him near tne Puerta Cerrada. M. A. Conte) sub-
director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has boa
appointed first secretary of the Spanish Legation
at London. The Novedades and Iberia bad been
seized. From the birth of the
prince who subse-
quently became Ferdinand VII., which took place
72 years ago, no male heir of the Spanish throne
had been born up to that of the Prince of Asturias.
It has been stated that the birth of this prince de-
prives bis sister, now aged five years, of the title of
Princess of the Asturias, which was conferred on
ber. When the Marquisa de rialpica, governess of
the princess, by command of the Queen, informed
her Royal Highness of the change in her position,
the little infanta, with dignity remarkable in one
so young, said, "I knew that when I should have
a brother I should cease to be the heiress of the
crown ; but I care not, since it makes my mother
h4ppier 1 Besides, I shall always have the same
rank as my Aunt lVlootpensier, and I will endea-
vour to make myself beloved as she is 1"

SWITZERLAND.

A letter from Berne, in the Debats, gives some
account of the state of parties in Switzerland at

present :
" Three distinct parties are represented in the Na-
tional Council. First, the moderate. Liberal party, which
may be called the Conservative. This party is composed
of those who, after having opposed the reform of 1847,
are now sincerely resigned to them, and of those who,
baviog favoured by all the means in their power those
same reforms, do not wish to go any further. Next
comes the Radical party, or those who having taken a
great part in the reform movement of 1847, are not
satisfied with the results obtained, and only considt r
them as a first step in the way of the regeneration of
Switzerland. La-tly, the Catholic party so called, the
old party of the Sonderbund. This party has revived
throughout all Switzerland ; it obtained great success at
the last elections, either by causing the election of several
of its best known leaders, or by contributing to that of a
number of Radicals whose support they expect to have.
It is difficult to say, at this moment, what will
hereafter be the pretensions of the Roman Ca-
tholic party, but it is easy to see that it is
already creating agitation. It recommends opposition
to the Federal government everywhere, and even in
many cantons to the cantonal authorities.; it already
assumes a haughty attitude where it feels itself the
master ; and it is labouring to organise itself strongly
in the National Council, in order to give the majority
to the conservatives or the radicals according to circum-
stances. It may be affirmed that the Roman Catholic
party will employ all its efforts t 3 retake the govern
ment, and to exercise it without division in the cantons
in which it dominates, and that it will demand a Wiare
of it where it is in a minority. The party has neve r
ceased to protest against certain measures which were
adopted after the defeat of the Sonderbund, with the
view of restricting the influence of the clergy, and
especially of religious corporations; and it is desirous
of obtaining at any cost the revocation of those measures.
It may also be affirmed that the Roman Catholic party
is perfectly d6ciplined, that throughout Switzerland
it obeys orders given by a central authority
in execution of a plan concocted with great
ability. In one of its approaching sittings the
National Council, united to the Council of tl •
States, will campy itself with the election of
members of the Federal Council. M. Fazy, deputy r f
the canton of Geneva, is a candidate, and is supporttd
by the Radical., opposed by the Conservatives. It was
the latter who assured his success at Geneva ; but it is
Pteksable that it will not be disposed, by nominating him,
to give him an influence in the superior direction of the
affairs of the confederation which might become pre-
ponderating, and which gwould, perhaps, not be employed
for the advantage of the Catholic party. This party ap-
pears, in fact, only disposed to support M. Fazy in the
event of his giving guarantees which would not be
acceptable to the Radicals."
