He Nerd Is TO be trusted, the Pope is putting his
house IN order but not after the manner recommended
by Lord PaimeTston. Plus has no faith IN "oonstitu-
lions Reform, whether IN government or Ia religion,
every true Pontid hates. From Leo down the word has
been an abomination, and when, at the commencement
Of his career, Plus was surprised into the utterance OF it,

pointed subjects avenged themselves by insurrection.
IL is reported that the King OF Naples has offered 10

The reasons which have induced the Emperor to relin-
qnish his intention Of withdrawing his troops from Alge-

taken.
tFroIn the Paris Constitutional, March Al
We learn that In consequence Of the communication
addressed by Cardinal Antoneli to the French ambs.ssa
dor ut Rome, the Emperor has ordered the evacuation by
our troops of the Pontiiical city. A message received
here to-day announces, it is asserted, that the French
cops d 0yHAse had been forthwith Withdrawn to Civita
yecchia, there TO await the transport vessels which will
convey them to France.
lfrou the Paris Monneur, March 81
The C6nNtamionna has announced that the evacuation of
the States of the church by our troops has been ordered
by the Emperor, and that the French corps d arsnfe has re-
cciyed orders to withdraw to Ciyita Vecchia. This aescs is
al least premature.

be ready to call in the men belonging to their regiments
who are out ON Through. The 9th regiment of the line
has received the whole of its equipments, even to its
field tents, and il il under orders to move at the shortest
notice. The Paris correspondent of the London Times
says that in official circles the confidence of Lord Cowley's
success was reduced TO the lowest degree.
The London Heralds correspondent states that the
warlike preparations on all sides show no signs of abating.
In Lombardy the Austrians are working increasingly to
strengthen all their positions. Everything has been got
Ia readiness for a campaign.
The Piedmontese on their side are not idle. The for.
tiications of Allessandria are said to be nearly ready.
The French semi official journals announce that the Sar-
dinian reserves are to be called under arms Orders have
been sent to C~herbourg to arm and prepare the imperial
yacht TO sail 18th April. The furniture for the imperial
apartments ON board is to be sent from Germany at the

lie Nord declares that Lord Cowley did not deliver any
letter of credence, but an autograph letter from the Queen
to the Emperor of Austria.
The Vienna journals have assumed a more warlike
tone.
The London Post plainly declares that Austria cannot
renounce the particular conventions which she has con
ciuled with the Italian States.
The Vienna correspondent Of the LONDON Times says
the war fever is increasing in Germany.
In Russia the seventh army corps stationed in West
phalia is to be placed in a state OF preparation.
The political ferment in Germany increases from day to

The Paris correspondent of the London Herald states
that the tone of the French government papers becomes
more warlike every day and, in noticing Lord Brough-
ans statement that the present preparations Of France
are only to build up the drain caused by the Crinlean
war, asks how this is rcconcilable with the fact that the
horses belonging TO the artillery regiment have been in
creased from a peace footing of TOO to / ,40O z
The Paris correspondent of the London News says that

imperial circle. The soldiers whose term Of service has
expired do not re-cnlist, in spite Of the great advantages

Vienna letter, Feb. rs, in London Tfmes1
The Austrians still express their conviction that there
will be a revolution as soon as the foreign troops are
withdrawn from the Papal dominions, but l believe that
the twelve or fourteen Roman battalions are In very de-
cent trim. Not long since the Papal troops were reviewed
by General Guyon, and that commander was pleased to
say that they were greatly improved, and formed a very
respectable little army. 1t is, however, doubtful whether
the native troops of His Holiness will do their duty in
case of a revolution. Tho French papers now begin to
talk OF the necessity for a repeal of the treaties between
Austria and some of the Italian States but in this mat
ter the imperial government will not permit the inter-
ference of any foreign power. Austria may, perhaps, be
induced to promise not to send troops into Central Italy
if the other powers will give a similar pledge, but she will
not voluntarily resign her claim to the right of rcversion
in Tuscany and Modena. o o o The cabinet of vi
emma has agreed to maintain $50, 900 men to erect forti-
fications in all directions. The Emperor proposes visit
ing Iombardy.
The Dublin Evening Packet of March 4th, speaking
of the proposed Irish legion for the service of the Pope,
says:
ave can spare them to the Pope. He will find an
army of this kind prepared to his hand in the pleasant
county of Cork. Doctors Cullen and MacHale could
raise tens Of thousands in other parts Of Ireland in a
twelvem6nth and might they not have a general pay
from the Papal e~xchequer for the service? Roman pre-
lates have before now buckled on the sword; some of them,
indeed, Italian fashion, have even used the ~poignard.
We trust the Pope may accept this suggestion. These
Irish braves would have such inducements to go to Rome
az a people so pions as ours could not resist"
