The ARCHBISHOP OF PARIS DISCIPLINED BY THE
EMPREss.-A Paris letter-wrter says:
"Something has decidedly happened between the
Court and the Archbishop of Paris 1t seems that his
hghness had all along decidedly set his face against the
war; and has urged the abandonment of that display of
Ie Deune and rejoicing which the Empress loves So
far indeed has he reckoned upon his holy character that
in the of last Sunday he thought duty reason
with the fair Regent upon the subject and demanded an
audience at st. Cloud expressly for the purpose The
fair and amiabe Regent received the reverend preate
with the inefable smile often alluded to- requested
him to be seated and listened without single objection
to his Christian expostuaton the subject of the re-
oicngs In anothers woes, all of which the fair Regent
took IN very good part, smiled even more nefaby STILL
and with the assurance that she not offended at the
representation which his hghnes had thought proper to
make, dismissed the audience without promising any
thing more than immediate communication with the
Emperor upon the matter. The answer was not slow
in forthcoming. 1t said, abruptly, that if Cardinal
Morot made any further objections to ociate at Notre
Dame as he had already done twice before measures
would be taken for the immediate transfer of his person
to Vmcennes and that the question might then be tried
whether the two great powers of the State were to con-
tnue thus at variance The issue of the message was
behed on Sunday, when, with countenance CHASTITY pale
and tantng beneath the load Of braUe with which he
bedecked the Cardinal MorIot Archbishop of Paris
joined in thanksgiving when he would rather have offer
ed up the prayers of penance, for he is likewise of the
favored few who knew well enough where the next blow
is to talHere, however, the nefab abe smile must have
been of some value 1t never ceased during the whole
ceremony and as one of the French chronicles observe
lighted up the whole cathedral with its radiance
This Slight hitch in the smooth current of ecclesiastical
affairs the story of the difference between the Arch
bishop and the court and the threat of Vncennes which
you will hear limited at and then It has been re-
ported that the disgrace from the Archbishop hav
ing subscribed to the fund for the Emperor of Austria
and that the Bishop of Meum had been arrested for
conveying the sum; but the real fact is have told

words claim " and "debt"

as follows:

manner, including all personal demands; but the
