London, but ID was denied.
Paris Bourse dull and lower. Rentes closed
on the Gath at 68fr. 500.
A rnmor had been current in Paris that the

Tho Vienna telegram pronounces this az
premature.
Renewed attempts at counter revolution
were being made by the adherents OF the
fallen dynasty in Tuscany.
Three powerful shells were lately exploded
at the residence of the Baron Ricasoli,
President of the new Government, and OF
two other conspicuous friends of the new re-
gime.
A Ministerial crisis prevailed in Naples.
The Filanghieri Cabinet resigned on the
question of giving armed assistance to the

it was brief bat emphatic. His Majesty is
willing and anxious TO remain as heretofore,

proposition, let him remember Henry VIII -
The Pope having called for the Withdrawal
OF the French troops from Rome, the En-
peror IN the same letter says that they shall
be withdrawn if his Holiness persists, but
that he, the Emperor, will cause months
notes to be given to all strangers resident in
the Regal City.
The Times city article OF yesterday says
the hatness OF the Paris Bourse, and the fact
OF the King Of Naples having dissolved his
Cabinet rather than abandon q project for
armed interference in favor OF the Pope,
coupled with the notification that the port OF
Verona had been placed in a state of Siege 10
merely premature, also produced q feeling OF
encouragement.

The London Herald says, the Archbishop
OF Paris has resigned his seat in the Council
OF the Empire. The Council was created to
guard the interests az the Napoleon dynasty
IN case OF the Emperor's death. This Arch

ty IN opposition to the Emperor's Anti Pa
pal policy.
. solemn reconciliation is reported to have
taken place between Cardinal Antonell and
the prelates who hare been in opposition to
