CHAMBERY, July l, 1860
To my Lord Count CaUour, Minister of Foreiqr
Affairs -
SIR CoUYT II cast once more look on the
States of the King before separating myself from
them. see, with profound grief the religious
persecution which is every day becoming more in.
tolerant throughout all Itay-a persecution which
Is as cruel Tor those who suffer it as degrading
and dishonorable for those who excite it. Before
our separation, | allow myself again to give yor
advice which would make it cease in few days i
you would cOndescend to take it into consideration
Do not confound the spiritual with the temporal
leave the priest free to the church and thesacristy
never ask OF them what is contrary to their convic
ton; leave to them the charge Of praying of ceIe
bratng mass, of instructing the faithful and of ad
ministering the sacraments; do not force them to
be present at your oyations; ask neither Te Deums
nor the blessing of your banners govern without
them, and allow them to pray without you; respect
the sanctuary of conscience; forced PRAYERS are
neither profitable before God nor honorable before
men. This is, in my opinion, a simple and easy
means of living in peace with the church. The
government and the church alike will profit by it.
have the honor to be, with due consideration
my Lord Count, your most humble and obedient ser.
want, ALEssIo, Archbishop of Chambery.
COUNT CAYoUR's REPLY.
TURIN, July 13, 1860.
To my Lord archbishop Of Chambery:
l sincerely thank your Grace for the counsel
which you have been willing to give me, before
crowning the act of separation which shall put an
end to official relations. shall study to prof
by them, and so much the more willingly as have
no pleasure in persecution, and am in no way in
clined to avenge myself of the annoyances wa
made to suffer in my youth by certain priests, who
invoked the secular arts to compel me to follow
their doctrines and put in practice their precepts
But. inasmuch as your Grace is pleased to take an
interest in the peace of the church in the states o
his Majesty, l shall be bold enough to entreat you
to send your part little advice to those among
your colleagues in the EpiscOpacy who raise them
selves in open revolt against the government OF
their country, who refuse to acknowledge the sover
eign whom the country has adopted, who encourage
rebellion, keep up correspondence with his foreign
enemies and seek to excite disorder in the interior
The government respects the church, but if any oil
the members of the clergy, be they even bishops
archbishOps cardinals, violate the laws and open
ly show an insulting contempt for the King and the
institutions, resolved to invoke against them
the application of the laws, even though we should
pass for prosecutors in the eyes of that party which
breaches liberation only when he cannot put in
practice the maxims in virtue of which the child
Mortara was wrenched from the arms of his parents
and the Madiai were driven in exile from their
country. have the honor to be, &c.
DEATH A CHILD CAUSED by DRINKING WINE
"A coToner's inquest was held yesterday after
noon on the body of Mary Mclean, little girl
about five years of age, whose parents reside on
Capitol hill, in the rear of Duff Green's row. The
child was found lying on pavement in an insensi-
Bile condition on the previous evening, and, though
medical aid promptly summoned, died that
night about ten o'clock. The investigation before
the jury elected the fact that the deceased had,
previous to being found stated visited drink
ing shop on East Capitol street, kept by a man
named Sherman, no one being in the shop except
Eliza Sherman, girl aged about seven years, and
daughter of the proprietor this girl when the de-
ceased entered was drinking sweet wine from a
half-pint cup, and at the request of deceased filled
the cup with wine, which the deceased drank
Shortly after she was found insensble the pave
ment, nearly opposite the shop, and afterwards
died as above described. The jury rendered ver-
dict in accordance with these facts. Eliza Sher-
man, who innocently gave the wine to deceased
was playmate of the latter. Justice McKenna
conducted the investigation, the coroner being alb

THE EXPORT OF FIREARMS TO FOREIGN Countries.
Inquiries are frequently made at the proper de-
partment of the government as to the removal OF
the restrictions on the importation of firearms into
foreign countries 1t may be recolleced that among

on the subject of customs reform was one from St.
Etienne, the centre of the firearms trade, in which
was expressed the pleasure of having the English
market thrown open to ribbons, and praying mea-
sures be taken might confer the liberty to export
thither muskets and other military weapons. The
petitioners assured by the Emperor that he
