The Empress CarIOttN.

Ihe BnpGebb OhrlOtbns
The mental arrangement Of the Empress of
Mexico is still the general topic of conversation
in the French capital.
We have received moro complete details on
the sudden insanity of the Belgian princess. Our
Roman correspondent writes us as follows:--
"Her Mexican Majesty is not so much to be
blamed as it would appear. Her obstinacy and
her most extraordinary conduct towards the
Holy Father must be attributed to nervous
malady, from which she has been suffering for
some time past
"Wenow hear in Rome, from those persons in
attendance upon the Empress, that her nervous
excitement has of late been such, that it has
been necessary to keep the strctest watch upon
her. for fear of her committing some rash act.
Yesterday morning she went to the Vatican,
without giving Antonelli amy previous notice,
as the Roman Court etiquette requires. How
ever, his Holiness consented to receive her, not
withstanding the irregularity of her conduct.
AS soon as the young Empress was ushered into
the presence of the Pope, she threw herself at
his feet, and declared to him that she was the
victim of diabolical prosecutions that her
enemies were desirous OF putting an end to her
days; and that attempts had been made to poison
her at the Hotel de Rome, at which she was
then staying. She went on to assure the Holy
Father that she was afraid to touch food of any
kind. Pope Plus, with his usual gentleness, did
his utmost to console and comfort the un-
fortunate Princess. He ordered that a re-
past should be prepared for her at the
Vatican, where she spent the rest of the day.
''When night came efforts were made to per-
suade her to return to the hotel, but to no pur-
pose. She kept constantly repeating that if she
left the Vatican she would fall ajvctim to assas-
sins, and that she only felt safe in the presence
OF the Pope. AS her Majesty seemed determined
not to leave, the Pope ordered apartments to be
prepared for her. and she has since then been
an inmate IN the Vatican. She refuses to be
attended by her ladies of honor, but is willing
TO receive the attention of ladies entirely
strangers to her."
further letter informs us that the Count de
Flandres. her brother, has arrived, aud will re.
conduct her to Miramar as soon as the state of
her health will permit.
The news from Mexico is getting worse and
worse, and confirms what have so often writ
ten, that we have in France never known the
truth respecting the unfortunate expedition in
the country of the Aztecs.
