The French Dispatch Against Infalli-
bflity.
A Paris letter In the sUnlon de pOuestn of
February 20, referring to rumor that Count
Daru, Minister of Foreign Affairs, had sent q
dispatch tcthe Marquis de Banneville, French
Minister at Rome, on the subject of the Gcu-
menlcal Council, declares that no such paper
exists, but that the Count recently wrote to
his sfricnd, Count Werner de Merodc, former
deputy, and who was then at Rome, a comml-
nication expressing his opinion on the discus
sions taking place among the reverend fathers.
The above named journal gives the following
as a summary Of the.document In question.
Count Daru says:
Ny devotedness to the Church and to the
Holy See is above suspicion, but my task must
not be rendered too difficult by imprudent
acts. We are free government, obliged to
take public opinion into serious consideration.
There are certain acts which In the Council
would he Of nature TO excite the distrust of
the present chamber, and perhaps still more
necessary. Who can say that we nigh: not
be constrained by parliamentary vote, and
be called on to withdraw onr troops from Civil
IN Vecchia? Great prudence must, there
fore, be observed at Rome in order not to
shock public opinion, and excite dissatis-
Catholics and the episcopacy. II, for ex-
ample, decisions should be adopted of
nature to seriously modify the situation of our
bishops towards tue Pope. and to piuue them
Oh 4 loo absolute dependence on the Court Of
Rome, our Concordat would be violated, and
our relations with the Holy See compromised.
In the present state OF the public mind at
Rome there is too much passion, and too much
agitation on both sides, and no good can issue
were adjourned, the excitement would have
time to calm down, and then resolutions more
in conformity with the real interests of the
Church and the Holy See might be adopted.
The Victor Noir Homicide.
A Paris dispatch Of the 10th ut. says:
The Chamber Of Accusation of the High
Court of Justice has found true bill against
Prince Pierre Bonaparte, and committed him
for trial on capital charge. The word ''meur-
tire" (often incorrectly translated murder) sig-
mites. In French legal phraseology, man
slaughter of an aggravated kind. And had
Prince Pierre been indicted for the homicide
of Victor Noir alone, the maximum sentence
that could have been passed upon him would
have been hard labor for life. But article 304
of the Penal Code enacts that when "menr-
tire" is committed cOncomitantly with another
crime the punishment shall be death. Under this
article the Prince is charged-frst, with having
committed wilfll homicide, or meurtre, upon
the person Of Victor Nor with the concomitant
circumstance that the crime was preceded or
followed by an attempted meurtre of Uric de
Fouvee; and, secondly, with having on the
same day and at the same place attempted to
dc FouYIelle with the concomitant circum-
stance t,t t,i;.t the crime was preceded or fol-
lowed by the wllful homicide of Victor Noir.
AS soon as the decision OF the Chamber was
made known, NJ. Demange, one ofthe Princes
counsel, went to The Conciergerie prison to
announce it to him. The prince had his wife
and some intimate friends with him at the
time, and therefore NJ. Grobon, the .jailor,
thought it delicate to call him into his own
room to receive the serious communication.
TN hearing 1t the Prince merely said that IL
was better so; that publicity was the best way
to bring out the truth; and that all he now
hoped was that there would be no long delay
before his trial.
A dispatch Of tile 20th adds:
A ministerial decree of Yesterdays date or
dcrs the HiTh Court Of Justice to assemble aC
Tours on the 2lst Of March for the trial OF
Prince Pierre Bonaparte. N. Glandaz Will act
as presiding Judge, and NJ. GrandperreC as
public prosecutor. The Gazette .des Trlou-
has furnished proof of the assault to which the
Prince asserts lie was subjected, SO that no
doubt is left as to the provocatlon offered to
him, which caused him TO shoot Victor Noir,
and to threaten the life of N. Fouvieue.
The Irish Land Bill.
A Dublin letter TO the London Times says:
The tenant-right Journals, which have hith-
erto maintained an eloquent silence on the
subject of the land bill, are at length beginning
TO sneak out. 1t does not give satisfaction 10
the advocates Of tiXity of tenure, VINO nnd
that the government are not ABOUT 10 give
effect to tho extreme measures which they
had led the tenants TO expect. Iile more

gard the bill with favor as whole, lnough eaII

cidedly hostile. This, perhaps, may be con-
sidcred tribute to the fair and temperate
character of the scheme, and to Its proDaole
| efficacy In producing permanent tranquility
and contentment. The removal OF suostan-
tial grievance Is, of course, q serious DloW TO

part of the landlords, complaints are heard
that the bill will do great injustice, some 60

where they arc not directly interlered with,
