PARIS, Feb. 2, 1860.
The week is plethoric with news, and sensations,
and complications OF these, the Pope's encyclcal
letter fills The largest place. 1t contains very

This is direct. BY inference and allusiOn, il is
something quite ike an appeal to religious war and
political revolt in France. II treats Napoleon with

il contains, of course, the usual talk about the
" biiternesses," griefs, trials" sutierings,"
etc, Of the POpe's heart and soul, which sounds
like cant, considering that Marin di Masai Ferrett
enjoys about az good health as is the lot Of other
gentlemen in their sixty-eghtb year. 1t also de-
clares the POpes readiness 10 suffer yet harder
land bitterer trials and even to lose his life, be-

which sounds still more like cant, considering that
the POpes life is in no danger and that the " cause
of God" in question is common with the cause Of
that wretched little Duke of Modena.
The Pope's letter is dated January 10. II was
published here in the Uni1ors of last Sunday, con-
trary to provision of the concordat concluded by
the first Napoleon. On Monday, however, Govern
ment permitted its publication in all the journals.
