ERANCE.-The Pope.-This country is tranquil,
and quietly adapting herself to the republican form
of Government. NJ de la Menthe has been chosen
VicePresident. Extensive naval preparations have
been made, it is supposed to prepare for armed in
tervention on behalf of the Pope. That person
demands the forcbe Intervention of Austria to pro-
tect him in his temporal powers Sardinia and
France have demonstrated, declaring the utmost
reverence for the Pope as the head of the Cherch,
and declare him equal to a prince. BY the latest
intelligence from France we learn that public opin
ion has undergone great change there is now
general opposition to interference with Italian af
fairs, and is said that France will wholly abstain
from actual nterventions for or against the Pope,
but will throw no obstacle in the way of such power
as may offer him men and money. She, however,
opposes the demand on Austria
GERMANY.-In the Frankfort Assembly, an apple
of dscord has been thrown among the Princes Of
Germany, for Austria, while subduing and recover.
ing her rebellious provinces, has opened new feid
of controversy, by threatening rivalry with Prus-
STA and the other German powers for the possession
of the Neapolitan throne. The Assembly at Frank.
fort has decided that the dignity of the head of The
German Empire shall be given to a reigning Ger.
man sovereign. Windischgritz continues entirely
successful in his movements.
SICILY.-This Island still remains unsettled.
DENMARK.-Denmarkh has announced her inten-
ton to borrow 81 ,O0O,O 900 on E1chequer issues.
ENGLAND.-The English Government has re-
solved to meet the wishes of the people and reduce
the expenses of several of the Government depart
ments; this caused funds to advance, giving
general buoyancy.
IRELAND.-The Judges have oyerrued the writ
of error in the cases of Smith O'Brien and his
fellow prisoners-Court unanimous. Meagher is
determined to endure his fate.
