FRANCE AND THE POPE.
From the Times Correspondent
BERLIN, Oct. 90.

0ESAAN3 ~
The Pope has been informed by the
Emperor Napoleon that France will up
hold his temporal power against all com
ers, and reoccupy Rome IN his name in
case of rebellion or invasion. The bearer
of this important message was Cardinal
Reisach, who lately passed a few weeks
in France, and was commissioned by the
Emperor Napoleon to acquaint the Holy
Father with his resolve. The Spanish
men-of-war are still at anchor off Civita
Vecchia; but not content with placing a
number of men and guns at the disposal
of the Pope. Queen Isabel has written
again to tell his Holiness that nothing
would give her greater pleasure than to
be allowed TO cede him one of her W
provinces, should her troops fail in main
tanning his regal prerogative at Rome.
Whose offers the Pope, who finds him
self suddenly surrounded by friends, will
eventually accept, cannot be foreseen.
Probably he will be guided by circum-
stances rather than premature resolves.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch

correspondence OF the RICHMOND dispatch
PETERSBURG, February I, 1866.
Though there have been no thigh rent
meetings in this city, yet the extraordinary
rates demanded by landlords have given un.
easiness 10 tenants, and had depressing effect
on trade. Merchants living in rented houses,
which is the case with perhaps nine-tenths OF
those doing business, after straining all their
energies, find that the charges absorb nearly
the whole OF the profits. The consequence is
that some desirable stores have been closed, the
tenants not being willing 10 work for the ex
elusive benefit of others, while in several in
stances they are selling out preparatory to
closing. AS the spring advances, il is expected
that many others will do the same; and
then Petersburg will present the sad specta-
eis OF number Of empty shops, which were
lately the scene Of active business. 1t is not
possible In the nature of things that mer-
chants can afford to pay from three 10 four
times as much now for stores when there is
no foundation in agricultural productions
for an extensive trade, as they did five
years ago, when the agriculture of the
country was at its highest prosperity

Fpeedmen,s Bureau.

General Howard has written long letter 20
the House Committee on Freedmen's Affairs
in regard to further legislation respecting his
Bureau He urges that it is necessary, for
several reasons, among which may be specified
that q bill signed by the Executive would
give great moral weight and power to the
Bureau, as fits enemies believe, or profess to
believe, that the Government is opposed to
its operation Something should be done, be
also says, to foster education. He believes i
would be measure of real economy to make
provision for schools, and suggests that grants
of public lands have often been made for
much less worthy objects than this would be.
He urges this consideration at some length,
He thinks the duty of the officers and agents
of the Bureau should be more clearly defined
by law, and not left so much to military Or
ders. The Sea Island question should be set
tied by statutory enactment, the more espe-
cially as the freedmen who hold grants under
General Sherman's order are thoroughly con-
WINGED that the lands rightfully belong to
them. The President should be empowered
to retain volunteer officers who are needed as
agents of the Bureau in service after the mus
ter-out of their respective regiments.
rThis looks like the initiation of scheme
to head the President. Mat Latelzigencer

ScEHEs IN CoNGREss.-Quite a sensation
was caused in the Senate on Monday by the
sharp rebuke administered by Mr.. McDougall
of California to his colleague DIR. Conness,
whom he charged with being animated in bis
action on the Pacific Railroad by personal mo-
tives. Mr. CONFESS attempted to reply, but
he was so badly cut up that he was unable to
make himself ineligible. There was quite a
breeze in the House, too, between Messrs. Ray
mond and Conkling, in regard to the latter's
course on the Bankrupt bill and Mr.. Ray
mend's editorial animadversions thereon. The
House has rebelled, at last, against the tyran-
ny of Thad Stevens; by a vote of fifty to for
ty.fonr the House refused 10 entertain mo-
ton by him to supply each one Of our foreign
legations with three copies of Forney's Chron-
icle at the expense of the United States Treas
ury
