The Risorgimento of the 28th ult. announces the
return to Genoa of the royal steamer Mozambano,
which conveyed to Civita Vecchia M. Pinelli, Envoy
Extraordinary of Sardinia to the Holy See. A letter
from Rome states that the Pontifical Government had
refused to receive M. Pinelli in his official capacity,
but nevertheless consented to hear the propositions of
which he was the bearer.

M. DE LAMARTINE ON THE RE-
VISION OF THE CONSTITUTION.
IVe extract the following from the forthcoming
number of M. de Lamartine's periodical, the Con.sedler
du Peuple :
" Opinion in France is the true sovereignty; it is, be
assured, irresistible like destiny. Call yourselves
royalty or republic, monarchy or democracy, legitimacy
or Orleanism—Bonapartism or Socialism— the name is
nothing ; public opinion is king in France—that is the
truth. If then public opinion, eighteen months
hence, should say—' I wish the Constitution to be
corrected,' everybody will say the same thing; the
National Assembly will say the same thing in spite
of factious coteries and parties. Nothing can resist the
current of a crisis of opinion in such a country as this.
It is the country of echo, as Pythagoras would have said;
there is only one voice when the true voice shall have
pronounced the feeling of the day. The Constituent
Assembly will arrive at Paris with the full powers of
the people. It will be republican, because France will
have two years to reflect, and reflection which demon-
strates the impossibility of three restorations in compe-
tition of rights, will be the republic as much as the in-
stinct of the people. But it will be moderately,
republican, for the country, business transactions, pru-
dence, time will show, that any violent or extreme Go-
vernment is illogical in a nation which above all enter-
tains a repugnance to civil war or suicide. It will then
revise the Constitution in three or four article?. 1. It
will re-establish the sincerity of universal suffrage, the
unity of rights and peace between classes, by re-estab-
lishing universal suffrage, mutilated by the law recently
passed. 2. It will free universal suffrage from
elements really vitiated, or too floating, which injure
it. It will re-establish the votes by communes,
or by groups of communes. I t will destroy the execra-
ble system of election by ballotting lists, which syste-
matically blind the eyes to mislead the hand. 3. It will,
perhaps, establish two Chambers, instead of one, but of
equal power; an elective Senate in place of a Council of
State, which occupies the place of a power without
having the action cf one. I said myself, in supporting
in 1848 the principle of one Chamber, that I only
defended the system for five years, during the revo-
lutionary period in which a sovereign Chamber is obliged
at every moment to take the dictatorship, and dic•
tatorship cannot be divided. 4. It will examine the dis-
position of France, the Government more or lees happy,
more or less republican of the expiring Government, and
it will deciJe if it will or not efface from the Constitution
of 1848 the article which interdicts the re-eligibility of
the President; it will examine, besides, if it will or not
prolong the constitutional duration of presidencies
during the first years of the republic. If it should
decide for the re-eligibility and the prolongation of
the first magistracy, it is sovereign, and will nominate
a provisional Executive Government, and will con-
voke the country to the election of a new President. If
the country should nominate another person, the Presi-
dent will retire, as at the end of their forced dictator-
ship, or their legal power, the provisional Government,
the Executive Coatmittee, General Cevaignac, the Con-
stituent Assembly, retired; and the Conservative Repub-
lic will then be founded. There will be a solution; a so-
lution of public i 4 o d sense—asolution by the Consti ution,
a solution by opinion, a solution by law and patriotism!
Why dream or others? For that there must be neither
treason, nor violence, nor coups d'etut, nor corruption of
the army, nor an 18th Brumaire, nor a 15th May of the
bayonet, nor an eppeal to revolutions. here must be
only two things—a people exercising the sovereignty
through the ballottina-box, and a disinterested citizen
understanding veritable civic grandeur in the person of
the present President of the Republic. Both these
things may meet to found together the practical Sove-
reignty of the nation, and to give to the republic the
only element it wants—the sentim'nt of its praetica-
bility and duration. Tee speech which the President of
the Republic recently delivered at Lyons seems to attest
( what I have alway s thought of his elevated good sense and
his honest ambition) that he so understands the grand tole
which the republic: o&red, and which his name has ren-
dered easy. If this name gave-offence to prudent re-
publicans, if their duty was to warn the nation against
being carried away by a souvenir of glory which might
have compromised liberty—this name also, it must be
admitted,. and I have admitted it—might have given
force to the maintenance of free institutions at the com-
.meademenr. The people lives by souvenirs and preju-
dices. This name surrounded the cradle of the Repub-
lic with souvenirs and prejudices. Well-inspired states-
men make use of everything, even of a danger, in order
to cause institutions which they wish to leave to their
country to take deep root. Tne name of Bonaparte may
be peril or salvation according to the man. Let him
choose between the applause of barracks and the serious
and lasting esteem of posterity."

THE MOORS, Scc.
Our notes from the moors and forests are limited
this week. The weather has been so bad as to inter-
fere materially with the sport.
Lord Lovat shot one day last week 35 brace of
grouse ; the Master of Lovat 40 brace ; and Mr.
Stourton 33 brace—all on the same moors. Sir Henry
Nieux bagged 35 brace at Dundriggan in a day,
and he has stalked and shot several fine deer in the
cornier. We hear that Lord Ranelagh, at Ardgour,
has shot several, fine-headed stags. In Suther-
landshire Lord Ellesmere got a noble stag, 28
stones weight as he fell. Lord Selkirk, at Gilder-
mory, has also shot a stag of very large dimensions.
At Flichity, Captain Lowndes, B. Langton, Esq.,
and Mr. Alacdonall, shot in three days 57i brace.
At Banchor, the Messrs. Bonham Carter shot, on the
27th, 16} brace—a very wet day, wind so high that
the birds were as wild as hawks. The Foyers party,
John Fowler, Esq., Mr. Gould, and Mr. Bendel,
bagged, last week, about 200 brace of grouse
'and several red deer. Mr. Balfour has had some
good fishing in the Conon, and brought down two
fine deer in the forest. Mr. Massy and party, at
Kinrara, killed, on the 12th, 90 brace of grouse.
On the 15th, shooting on Cairngorm, Mr. Massy,
with his own gun, brought down 15 brace of grouse
6 brace of ptarmigan, and some mountain hares.
Sir Hyde Parker, Bart., and R. Palmer, Esq., at
Pityouli-h, shot 30 brace on the moors of Aviemore
on the 12th.

Sir Arthur Chichester's sport in the Lochcarron
forest during the month has been unprecedented. In
one week he brought down seven deer—one particu-
larly a very fine stag—end mortally wounded other
four; all good shots. During the same week he
killed three roebucks. His sport on the moors has
been equally successful. One afternoon he shot
twenty brace of old cocks, and caught a number of
salmon the same evening.
Captain Hall, of the Madras Cavalry, shot a fine
deer at Applecross the other day; and Colonel Whyte's
sport on the Carron has been good.
At Torridon, Kinlochewe, Mr. Charles Mackenzie,
of Scotsburn, killed one deer on the 21st, and on
Wednesday was so fortunate as to secure a couple—
one stag with a famous head, and, without the offals,
weighing 19i stone.
OTTER I:IUISTING.—r-On Friday, the 23d instant,
Sir Arthur Chichester having devoted the day to
otter bunting at Shieldaig, Applecrov, had some
splendid sport, and brought down two uncommonly
large otters, with ball, at a long distance.
THE NESS.—This river continues far too high, and
so much rain has Allen that there is not much pros.
pect of its falling to the proper size within the season
now approaching a close.
PERTHSEITRE Moons.—Mr. Forman, at Glenbruar
(Athole), 283 brace to his own gun in four days; at
Kinloch (Strathbraan), 1501 brace and three bares,
on the 12th ; at GrandtUlly (Strathtay), the party on
the 12th, 133 brace ; Mr. Hay bagged 26i brace and
a hare, after mid day of the 14r h ' - at Dalnamine Mr.
Robertson 34 brace on the 12th, Mr. Clason 32, and
Air. Robertson 10, on the same grounds ; at Glendye
on the 12th, Sir James Carnegie bagged 63 brace.—
Inverness Courier.

INDIAN CORN.—Notwithstanding that no sales of
Indian corn of importance take place at present, owing to
the prolific and superior crop of potatoes, which are con-
sumed by the labouring classes for the first time since the
famine, cargoes of maize continue to arrive in Queenstown.

rived.—Cork Constitution.
