PARIS, OCTOBER Is, 1916.
The revolutionary enterprise in the Papal States
has been entirely frustrated and exploded. We
have intelligence from Florence dated 9th instant
of the capture of half the insurgents and the dis
persion of the rest in the Apprentices, whence they
were hunted by the peasantry as well the sol
diers into Tuscany. The Grand Duke, instead Of
delivering the fugitives to the Holy See, directed
that they should all be embarked at Leghorn for
Marseilles-a measure which gratifed the people OF
Florence. Austria had despatched twelve hundred
foot and three hundred horse 10 Ferrara the three
Austrian vessels OF war which were sent to the
coast of Romagna had returned TO Venice. We
have in the Paris Journals long manifesto OF the
patriots, clandestinely circulated in the Roman le-
cations, in which series of political expressions,
receptions, and ancient griefs is skilfnlly exhibited,
and a circumstantial demand of radical reform
made on the Papal Government. Some of the
changes prescribed would virtually destroy the
temporal power Of the clergy. Intelligent travel
lers recently from Italy assure me that there is no
general popular disaffecton in any division of the
peninsula partial revolts must fail, because they
rally on the spot few residents merely, and are
regarded with utter distrust or aversion at a small
distance. The peasantry always seen to be
more active and eager than even the troops and po-
lice agents in the pursuit and capture of the adven-
turers, who invoke their aid for the vndicaton of
rights and redress of wrongs which they cannot
comprehend.
Naples has been Enthusiastically agog with the
Congress OF nearly tsoO thousand savans, most of
them "known by creditable abors.' For fifteen
days there was a constant succession Of naukura-
tons, balls. masses, professions, Conversations,
sitngs, readings, speeches, and archaeological ex-
cursions. The Royal family, the Ministers of
Sfnfn 9th
gers not of the Congress, every body, down to the
azzarone, engaged in /" the business, hustle, enthu-
siasm, throng, and glory" Of the affair, to which
the heavens and the temperature proved most aus
pcious. The club of mobiles entertained magnf-
Gently three thousand illustrious guests new exca-
vations were undertaken for the Congress at Pom
peia, and so forth.
AT the grand review here last week, of several
regiments in the Place Carousel, the septuagnary
King was mounted on beautiful barb from his ia
vorie stable near st. Cloud On the 9th instant,
the anniversary of his birth, he beheld about him
his Queen, four sons, four daughers-in-law, three
sons-in-law his sister, and nine grandchildren. His
green old age such family his strong and in
defadgabe mind and spirit his consideration abroad
and sway at home; his perfect sefpossession and
address at all junctures and under any crcum-
stances the difficulties and dangers through which
he has worked, and the beneficial policy which he
has accomplished since his accession, individuate
and consecrate him for remote history not less than
for contemporary record in the list of fortunate and
capable monarchs.
The discussion in the British prints on the ques-
ton, Shall CrOn,soeH hare statue? has partcu-
larly fixed my attention. Ii exemplifes the strong
of tradition and creed religious and po-
ltica; it has extorted just confessions touching the
line of British soveregns and the effects of royalty;
and it has revived much salutary opinion and fact
that seemed to be suppressed or forgotten by com
mon consent. We might dispense for time with
such themes as the French revolution, Napoleon,
Russia, if we could exhume others in the mode
and temper remarkable in the Cromwell case: /
The Legitimist organs signify that the Duke of
BORDEAUX entertained the wish and design to Join
in the campaigns in Algeria against the Arabs. II
is perhaps the most unlucky circumstance of his
situation that helis condemned TO merely private
and personal life, while the sons of LOUIS PHnIPPR
are constantly before the nation as champions or
representatives, gathering laurels and maturing
pacity for public service, and welcomed abroad in
every sense and with every honor by which France
can be edited or dazzled and fattered. LOUIS
PnnPPE has just transmitted the grand Gordon of
the legion of honor to MEHEMET ALI, to the Bey of
Tunis, and to General CoLETTI, Prime Minister of
Greece This is done in acknowledgment Of the
reception of the Duke of MoNTPENsrER in Egypt,
at Tunis, and in Greece. Interesting narratives of
the Dukes peregrnations continue to be furnished
in the Journal des Debats. IBRAHM PAcHA is in
vited to occupy royal palace in case he should be
able to visit Paris.
multitude of newspaper remonstrances and
structures has been provoked by rescript of the
Project of the Seine issued at the instgaton of the
Minister of Public Instruction, which forbids the
principals of the female schools in Paris to receive
adult pdrlor-bodrders. The authorities aver that
the custom or privilege had induced serious abuses
Of various kinds, and caused, i'm number of in
stances, extreme scandal. This is unquestionably
true but the Opposition contend that not few ofthe
would be at once ruined, as they had
counted, and mainly depended, on the profits from
those dodgers and it is argued BESIDES that as the
interdct does not extend 10 the converts and other
religious establishments in which pupils and mere
boarders associated, undue and injurious par
TALLY is shown. The Nuns-add the Radical
edtors-may admit designing or immoral inmates,
like the lay-principals; they interfere with the
family concerns of those who place children under
their charge; they even practise medicine, and
anluiefs are among their specifics. Whatever may
be thus imputed or imagined, in general, the rei-
gious possess a superiority in every respect over
the Lack seminaries.
We have lengthy official bulletins from Algeria,
of the various critical and sanguinary conflicts with
the forces Of ABD-EL-KADER. They confirm the
statement that the Arab chief several letters to
the French corps that persisted, urging surrender,
as escape was impossible, and promising life and
security, which, doubtless, would have been grant
ed. How far military self-immolation in this way
is susceptible of defence, when all laws human and
