THE PAPAL STATES.

letter in the Cologne Gazette states that the Pope
has refused to adopt any of the suggested by
the French Minister and has declared if these changes
are forced on him, he will abandon his States. The
Papal Government is kept in constant alarm by the
rapid organization Of army in Sicily. The rumor
that Gsribaldi has embarked with strong force, with
the intention of landing on the Italian coast, has in
creased the alarm of the Roman authorities It is
feared that Garbadi may suddenly appear on the Paps
Territory his real purpose being quite unknown.
Lamorciere is doing his utmost to bring the Pope's
land force into condition that may enable him to
attempt some defensive movement. All the intei
genee from Rome. given in the German jour-
mails, confirms the description of the violent
and dsorderly conduct of the Irish military immigrants
They are still of the utmost perplexty TO the
the Roman authorities For the sake of peace the
pay of the recruits was short time since raised ten
IoJOccki day, and coffee and two meals per diem al
lowed them. But they are very discontened complain
ing that they promised high pay that they have
been badly treated and deceived in every respect In
bscerata, Spoleto, and Cvita Castellana they have
conducted themselves violently that the Italians
gard and treat them with the utmost contempt Ii is
probable the whole Irish contingent will be dismissed
than useless allowed TO return whence they
came. An order from the Papa Government Of the
18th instant permits all the Irish recruits who wish
quit the Popes service to do Lamoricere has near
Spolto corps of 10000 men, Italians and Foreigners
il is being rapidly reduced in numbar by desertons aud
the foreign recruits can be as little relied on AZ the
natives Who il is added desert by scores together

IMPORTATION OF SINGLES BEES FROM CENTRAL
AMERIcA.-Mr. A. o. Moore of this city, who went
to Central America lat year account of his health
has just returned from Guatemala and has brought
with him two swarms u the sdngless bees to
that country, which he has given in charge of Mr.
Parsons, of Flushing who will propagate them for the
Agricultural Department of the Patent Office, which
will in due time distribute them if it is found that they
can be kept in any part of the United States.
These bees are of two varieties, large and one
small and both quite different in all their habits from
the honey bees common with us. For one thing,
there appear to be but two classes-workers and
queens. The largest class about the size of our
bees, the queen being much larger and while
laying eggs appears very clumsy, aud unable to fly,
The honey is deposited in eggshaped capsules, more
than half the size of hens eggs fastened to plate of
wax only upon eide and sometimes arranged quite
horizontal in tiers one above another The honey is
considered particularly delicious but is not stored in
as great quantities as with our bees. AS these are
stiDgess they often kept upon the same familiar
terms Paddy pig, about the house. The hive most
commonly consists of hollow log, and that Is hung up
in the hut that shelters the family at the door, under
the projecting thatch of the roof 1t is to be hoped
that the experiment of their introduction viii prove

THE INTERVENTION IN THE EAST,


The Constitutional also says:
" The expedition which France has been preparing
for the last three days with marvellous dispatch will
as matter of necessity, be carried out. The early
departure of our troops may be expected.
"The part of France will be neither that OF oecupa-
ton nor Intervention.
"We are about to give support to Turkey TO as.
sist her in REFRESHING disorders which would nfaby
result in the loss of the Turkish Empire.
4" The Eastern question, as 1t at present stands,
does not appear to be susceptible OF dividing Europe,
but on the contrary, of uniting the European Powers
pcse the same OBJ igations on all Christian States"
II is stated that the assent of the Porte TO Euro
pean intervention in Syria has arrived here The other
powers have likewise acceded.
II is said that En- gland will despatch but naval
forces TO Syria, and that the French expedtionary
corps will soon receive orders to embark.
The representatives of the five Great Powers were
to have signed the Convention to-day for regulating
the expedition.
