DE Morny, in his opening discOrrse to the Lcgis-
atye Body of which he is Pre- ident enlarged it to
the proportions of kick. He was uncommon
severe upon the worldly min Aedness of that portion
of the clergy who leave sa'red things TO mix them
selves up in naughty Wicked temporalities. De
Norny you know, Is the worldly -mindedest,
busiest, luckest of Specializing, stcckholding, and
stock-likng, manufa6 turing uen'in disappointment

with peculiar grace and force. 'Prefectoral
rescrpts, Addressed to subordinate Mayors,
reminding them to keep sharp lookout
for pamphlets circulating without authoriza-
ton within their jurisdictions; a rare prose-
cutiOn for sh O0ense; an interference by military
authorities Sith the gatuitoys teaching of soldiers
by some of the numberess agents of the Society OF
st. Vincent de Paul; these and the like give sufi-
cient signs of the existence of the UtramOntane
opposition But II is not formidable opposition,
though not exactly contemplate one either Gov
ernment has thought it important enough to oppose
by the frequent application of the press-gag law,
and Big Ministerial circulars and by speeches from

Off tiOus Constitutional abOring through two and
hall long columns to show that the clerical agitation

most of the leading articles in that journal, re-
Tharkaby able specimen of the ridiculous. 1t re-
mains, however, perfectly true that the great
| popular mass of the French nation have not been,
are not, and cannct be very warmly interested IN
the temporal condition of the Pope, nor in any other
part of the Italian question: unless the Savoy and
Nice annexation be regarded as a part OF it.
Mr.. Charles Faulkner representative of Virginia
at the Court of the Tuileries was presented in due
form to the actual lessee of that establishment on
Sunday last. He had the honor of riding to the
doors of that edice in ac0urt carriage, and in COM
pany Of the regularly authorized introducer of
the ambassadors. After being presented to the
| Emperor he was introduced to the Empress. In
what language the conversation carried on, the
present depOnent has no means of knowing but will
venture to guess that the Vrgnian plenpotentaires
share was done in French. The French papers
persist in STYLING Mr. Faulkner Col Faulkner, which
that gentleman does not like. He forgets that,
coming from an eminenty military nation, and from
a super-eminently military State, where the hanging
| of mere John Brown cannot be cOnsummated
without a Brobdgnagan display of military force
and maneuvers, comparatively pacific French
newspaper men naturally give him military title.
| He should rather thank himself that they don't
| make a general OF him.
Talking of military themes, reminds me, some
what late in the day, to state that Major Kearney,
| formerly of our army, who won hOnOrs and lost an
| arm in the Mexican war, received, two weeks and
more ago from the Emperor, the decoration of the
Legion of Honor. Kearney volunteer Aid to Gen.
Maurice throughout nearly all the Italian campaign.

forgot to mention when on the subject of pho
tographs, that a nearly complete series from AIRY
Schetier's originals, in the style of the Eurres of
| DearOche, and by the same artist, Bingham, Is
published by Goupil and Company.
| To recur 10 Mr.. Faulkner again. All Americans
| who meet him, speak laudatOrily of his manners.
| He has arrived here at a lucky time, having the
forty days of Lent before him to get the hang, if
may so speak, of his new school-house and perfect
| himself in the nceties of the French tongue. The
truly arduOus duties of his office, the pre-
seDtation of thorough going Democrats to the EN-
| perOr and the procuring of tickets TO Court and
Hotel de Vile balls will not be exercised till Lent
| is over May Ibe permitted here to repeat my old
proposition for the simplifcatiOn of diplomatic
service: Entrance to shilling gallery for all Ameri
| can Democrats at the Courts of Europe to be Sc
cured by treaty: one smart, able-bodied man, and
| ditto horse and buggy, to drive round to all the
| Continental Courts once a year to leave compli-
mentary cards and to be q substitute for our actual
| foreign diplomatic corps or corpora; the practical
work to be done as heretofore, by COnsuls and Sec
Tetaries the dirty work. If there be any, TO be done
| by the subordinate Secretaries of Legation.
There is to be little attempt at opposition in the
| Corps Legisatf by a few clerlcO-legltimists. IL
will not come to anything. 1t is suicidal In its very
nature as that of the late UHiuerS newspaper was.
It's leaders belong TO the party who have maintained
the doctrines of the most thorOugh-gong oppression
an erroneous statement and accompanying opinion
that obtains currency in America. The late Unirers
newspaper was not suppressed for having illegally
published the Pope's Encyclcal letter. That crcum-
stance was not adduced even as pretext by NJ. Bill
laut in his perambulatOry report that was followed
by the Imperial decree OF suppression There is no
show of likelihood that the unauthorized printing in
the Unir6rs of the Encyclcal letter that was pub
lished within twenty -four hours by all the Partisan
journals had anything to do with the suppression of
that obnoxious paper. Louis Veuillot being once
driven from it, the Minister has sanctioned its
appearance under another title, lie Monde. /.

Hamlet without the Prince. Antonelli himself

without his head.
Fire of The clock p. m-Considering the news
and rumOrs of the day, humbly presume to offer
the following post-scriptura view of the "situa-
ton" as ii presents itself at the present moment.
The annexation of all the Duchies and of the Ro-
| magma to Piedmont will be assented to by France,
with expressions of BuncOmbe regret at the unavod
able necessity addressed to Austria and the Pope.
For the moment neither Austria nor the Pope will
more than protest. Git is barely possible, not prob
able that the Holy Father will have brass enough
| saving his Reverence-tO set an eXcOmmuncatOry
| bull as has been threatened upon Victor Emanuel:
it would be about as formidable to that monarch and
amusing to the rest of us as a Miesan bull Sa-
voy with allowances for Switzerland will be an
nexed to France-English parliamentary talk and
diplomatic notes from the other Powers speeches
from their plenpOs in coming Congress or
Conference to the windy contrary notwithstand-
ing The radical Italian question and its real solution
