The. Insanity Of the Empress Of Mexico,
now lin spite Of Z contradiction OF the
Pdtric not persisted in) universally spoken
OF, appeared In the form Of belief that
there was . conspiracy TO poison her, and
that her life would only be safe under the
personal protection OF the Pope. This
explains her journey to Rome; and there
her madness broke out In q manner 30 con-
trary to Papal etiquette that the Holy
Father was forced to hand her over to the
mad doctors.
SINGULAR CONDUCT OF THE EMPRESS At THE
VATICAN.
Rea' October y iPe sSs;ss. Lyons s''''
The Empress Of Mexico Is the subject Of
much conversation here. Yesterday morn
ing ct 8, without having requested audi.
ence, she presented herself at the Vatican
to sec the Holy Father. She was imme-
diately received, and il Is said she pre-
scented petition to the Pope praying his
Holiness 10 sanction everything that her
husband had done as Emperor with respect
to religious matters. The story goes that
tho Pope positively refused, and that the
Empress then declared she would not
leave the Vatican If her request was not
granted. / cannot guarantee the authen-
ticity of oil this; but it Is certain the En-
press did not quit the Vatican until s
O'Clock in the evening. She retired to the
private study Of the Pope, and his Holt
ness continued his ordinary audiences; he
afterwards dined alne, according to ETH
auette, and went out for his usual drive,
leaving the Empress with her lady in wait
ing. She at length left, and dined at the
Hotel de Rome, where her Majesty is stay
ing. In consequence Of this incident ru-
NOR has got abroad that her reason is i'm
paired, and we know, beyond any doubt,
that Professor Viale, the Pope's medical

FURTHER COMBINATIONS At TO HER INsA-
NITY-DIsAPPOINTED HOPES The CAUSE.
From the London Daily News, October 10.
The Monde, q journal likely to be we'll
informed in such . case, observes:
A day or two since we received melan-
choly statement respecting the Empress Of
Mexico, to which we hesitated to give Gre
dence. Our private letters from Rome un-
happily leave no doubt on the subject.
The reason Of her Majesty has given way
under the shock caused by SO many hopes
suddenly disappointed.
A Paris letter in the Independence, of
Brussels, announces that DR.. Blanche, so
well known for his treatment Of mental dis
eases, has been sent for to Rome to attend
to the Empress; and the Nord, in mention
ing the rumor, remarks that "the state
ment made by the Journal de Liege, that
the Empress Charlotte will not be able to
visit Brussels on the anniversary of the
death of Queen Louise, seems to confirm
the reports in circulation.
The clerical journals Of France see
something awful in the coincidence Of. the
Empress of Mexico's insanity with her visit
to the Pope for the purpose Of obtaining
conditions which they consider irreconci-
liable with the rights of the Church. The
Avenir National thinks it mockery to sup
pose that judgment of this kind has been
passed on an unhappy princess because
she has asked Of the Court of Rome that
which 1t has granted to France, Spain,
Austria, and several other countries.

lotte, says: "News received here from
Rome states that the mental crisis has

enabled to undertake the journey to Mira
mar, accompanied by the Count Of Elan
