Emperor resigned all command and created

the DEGREES were published in the O6iciel.
Gen. de Palikao. however, strongly disap-
proved OF the plan, and prepared dis
patch ordering MaeMahon to march to the
relief of Bazaine. But before this was tele-
graphed, q telegram arrived from Marshal
MacMahon, announcing that in conse-
rquence of better news from Bazaine, he had
changed his mind, and was about to march
on Metz. 1t follows, therefore, that the
delays which finally landed MacAahon's
army 10 the fatal trap at Sedan were not
owing to any interference of the Emperor
or of the Ministers at Paris, bnt that they
were attributable principally to the misun-
derstaadings between Marshals MacMahon
and Bazaine.
The Psocessions.-A most eloquent pro-

Archbishop Of Algiere, and an immense
crowd, consisting Of nearly all the clergy
and faithful, have responded to his invita-

And this is their mode of procedure, as In.
stanced by what took place last week. The

the most popular journal, perhaps, in Reme,

. The Veto in a Future Concldye.-odr Ro-
man correspondent aifudes to report that
the new German Empire is meditating a
claim to the veto in future Conclave. The
Liberia, paper usually supposed to be ON
confidential terms with Berlin, mentions
the rnnnor, and starts the objection that it
is not as successor to the Holy Roman EN-
pire, but as Apostolic King of Hungary,
that Austria exercised the vote. Both theo-
ries are blunders, the privilege being mere
ly3a concession for reasons of expedency
to three great Catholic powers. The Jour
nal de Florence afsfms that the intrigue ia
question is actually on foot, aud asserts.
that if the German Empire cannot succeed
in it's claim, it will use the veto Of friendly
Power. 1t remain to be seen whether this
would be now conceded to the Powers
which have hitherto possessed it; it is
scarcely credible, for instance, that veto
by tue present Spanish Government would
De accepted by the Sacred Colleges. The
object of those who have now raised the
question is of course to eudeavor to obtain
pliabie successor to the Holy Father, or
to throw doubt upon tae next election to
the Holy Soc. We may be quite easy on
