Mancini during his diatribes against the
Jesuits did not fail to bring in the hack
neyed accusation that they teach or have
taught the immoral doctrine that the end
justified the means. This shows the mala
tdes of Mancini, who is not an ignorant
man but clever sort of Old Bailey advo-
cate. He forgot, OF chose to forget, the
celebrated challenge of Robe, the famous
preacher of Frankfort who in the year 1850
offered prize 900 thalers to any one
who would prove that doctrine to be con-
tanned in any work, from the folio to the
pamphlet, written or published by any Jes-
ults, any four professors of the Protestan t
University of Heidelberg to be the arbi :
traitors. After waiting some time, Pro-
testant minister sent a claim to the reward
but the professors of Heidelberg unanim
ously rejected it. Robe Afterwards pub
lished this challenge in a pamphlet, but 1

ward to claim the 200 thalers.
INFLUENCE OF THE rorULAcE.

lowing authentic anecdote. On Saturday

of coffee to q well-known cafe in the Piaz-

give my vote as 1 please, without render
ing any account to any one,-ahoye all to
people unknown to me-" 1.-THE unknown
gentleman still in the same polite tone}
"You ('ella) are certainly free to do as
you like think, however, what the conse.
qasnres may be, and please understand
(lntenda bene) that we do NOT guarantee
you from the consequences" The two went
away leaving the deputy certainly free as
before, but not without some doubts as to
what might befali him If he did not happen
to vote according to their wishes.
GENERAL NEWS.
There is none. All has been absorbed
by the Parliament and its works, for they
cannot be called deliberations. It must
not be- forgotten that with the military
reinforcements we have this week an
increase Of 10, 600; ak regiments of the line
and four of Bersaglieri or sharp shooters.
P. 81 open my letterin consequence of
having had conversation with gentle
man relative to the sentiments of Count de
Montalembert, of whose name the DEPUTY,
Mancini, made SO unworthy a use the other
day. Count de Montalembert, far from
sharing the views of the Italian Govern
ment, and least of all those of the advanced
party, wrote to Count Cavour, as far back
as the year 1861, t'celve gears ago, these re-
markable words: "Signor Count Covour,
