NAPOLEON Decidedly III and Exhnusted-Thc
Pnbiic Mind Excited.


By the Anglo-AmertcGn Cable
LONDON, Sept. 5-Night.-Private advices
from Paris have been received here tonight on
the subject of the actual condition of Napo
Icons health. These dispatches represent that
the illness of the Emperor has taken q somewhat
alarming turn. His Majesty experienced an
attack of the disease yesterday which occa-
stoned him an unusual amount of extreme pain
and suffering. This paroxysm subsidized after a
little time but to-day the Emperor feels much
exhausted from its effects No fatal result of the
attack is anticipated, but the existing symptoms
are of such a character that they are decidedly
calculated to excite uneasiness both in his
family and the public mind.
Relations of Egypt and Turkey-Acceptance of
the Sultan's Letter.
LONDON, Sept. 6.-Important advices relative
to the actual existing condition of the relations
between the Khedive of Egypt and the Sultan
of Turkey have been received here. The Khe-
dive has promptly telegraphed to Constantine
pie his assent to the conditions-military, finan-
cial and tributary-which were embraced and
insisted on in the Sultan's letter lately for
warded to him. thus evincing his determination
to leave no excuse for any hostile action on the
part of the Sultan. His Highness the Khedive
expected to arrive in COnstantinople on Monday
and have an official interview with the Sultan
Immediately.
The French Minister in Constantnople tele-
graphed the main points of the Sultan's letter to
the Khedive before he reached Alexandria, at
the same time urgently advising him to submit
to its terms.
Tho Catholic HierarchicaI Convention-What
1t Portends-PIatform of the Prelates for the
Council in Rome.
LONDON, Sept. Cit is well known on the
Continent, and also in England, that the HER
archcal Convention of the Catholic Bishops of
Germany, in Fulda, Bavaria is likely to have
very important and decided influence on the re-
lation which the German Catholic Church gene
rally will hold towards the Ecumenical Council
in Rome
A large number of the religious faculty of
Germany, headed by Professor Dollinger, of
Munich, the author of the series of articles re-
Gently published in the AIlgemeine Zeitung, of
Augsburg, entitled 'The Council at the Civilta,"
are openly in favor of the assumption by the
German episcopacy of liberal, independent
stand before the Council on all such temporal
political points as may come up before the
assembled prelates. Although the
Fulda Convention is held with
closed doors and its proceedings
kept secret, enough is already known to make it
certain that the bishops take stand against the
position of the great body of the German
clergy, and advocate the necessity of an entire
submission to the decisions of the council in all
things, holding such a course to be absolutely
necessary for and inseparable from the mainte-
nance of the Catholic belief in the doctrine of
the infalibility of the Holy Father, the Pope,
when presiding in General Council of the
Church.
Among the prelates present in the convention
were the Right Reverend Cristophe Forentius,
Bishop of Fulda; the Most Reverend Doctor
Paulus Melchers Archbishop of Cologne; the
Right Reverend Doctor Heinrich Forster, Prince
Bishop of Breslau; the Right Reverend Baron
Won Ketteler, Bishop of Mayence; with the
Bishops of Panderhon, Freres, Ernland
Heildesheim, Osnabruck, Augsburg Eichstadt
Wurtzburg, and Rottenburg; the Vicar-General
of Freiberg, the Vicar Apostolic of Dresden,
with several other Church dignitaries of equal
note.
1t is also understood that it was resolved in
the convention that the bishops should in future
use their authority to enforce strict ecclesasti-
cal discipline and obedience throughout the
members of the German priesthood
The Austrian archbishops and bishops kept
aloof from the Funda Convention. They will
hold separate conference in Salzburg.
