FOREIGN
RoME-The London Times special from
Rome states that King Victor Emmanuel has
written to the Pope coDgratulating him on
his approaching anniversary. The Pope has
sent o reply. thanking the King, and taking
occasion to beg him not to permit the italian
Government to despoil the parishes and con-
fraternities of their property, stating that
otherwise he should be constrained to protest.
The King has made no reply to the Pope's
missive. 1t is said that the Pope has indi-
rectiy. requested the good offices of the EN-
peror of .Augtria with the Gear in behalf of
Catha)ics in Poland. It is stated that Presi-
dent MaoMahon has sent an autograph letter
to the Pope expressing confidence that, in the
perilous position in which France now stands,
his Holiness would continue that benevolence
he has always manifested. In consequence OF
Republicans of Rome held meeting the
Both, at which they declared that Rome can
never again become the Rome of The Pope.
GERMANY.-Berli May 30.-An order Isl u I'd
and four battalions of artillery to reinforce
Metz and Strasbourg. and battalion of rides
viii be stationed at Severnes.
The Berlin Post of the Both May had another
war article, declaring that no confidence ought
to be placed in the professions or intentions of
she French Cabinet, and that hopes of peace
rest chiefly on the prudence and sagaotty of
German statesmen. The article is full of in
sinuatiops against Count Won Beust, the Aus
trian Ambassador at London, of whose in
trigues it gives q circumstantiSl account. 1t
says he recently endeavored to cement an
Anglo -Austro- French alliance to be nominally
concluded sgainst Russia and Germany but
in reality against Germany alone; France
and Austria were TO have attacked Ger
many, while England would be left to deal
single-handed with Russia in the East. The
English Cabinet, however. seeing through
this plot, it came to nothing.
ENGLAND I'm the Commons on the 31st,
Lord Eicho urged the Govern ment to prepare
for eventualities of the present war. Mr..
Hardy, Secretary of State for War, in reply
said although the Government maintains
forces on peace footing, it had not overlooked
any possible con ontingency. On the 31st Glad
stone visited Birmingham and received great
ovation. Business was suspended and 10000
people attended the meeting in the evening"
His speech was an attack on the Turks and on
the Diaraeli Ministry. at the close of Mr..
Gladstone's speech resolution was unani-
mously passed amid great enthusiasm, deoiar,
be for England TO use her influence in copjunc
tiOn with the united authority of the great
powers to exact from Turkey efectual guarsn-
tees against the maltreatment and oppression
of Christians.
FRANCE.-In @ recent speech, MacMahon
said, 81 am conscious ofhaving fulfilled great
duty. have remained and shall remain abso-
luteiy within the bounds of legality. IL is be-
Cause am the guardian to the constitution
that acted as have. To attribute to me an
attempt of assailing the constitution, is q mis-
construction of my character. The country
will eoon comprehend that my sole aim is the
salvation of France, and the Government she
has given herself"
The Duo de Broglie, President of the Council
and Minister of Justice, has issued circular
to the procureurs generaHI, explaining that
President MacMahon, exercising his copstltu-
tional prerogative, intervened to arrest the
progress of radical theories incompatible with
the peace of society and the greatness of
France. The Ministers invite public prosecu-
tors to use redoubled vigilance and firmness to
insure respect for the laws established for the
protection of morality, religion and property,
and particularly those laws defending them
against the attacks of q licentious press. He
recommends the procurenrs to repress apollo |
gies for the Commune, ofenses against the |
President, and, above all, false news, particu- !
larly the calumny that there exists in France |
a party in favor Of q foreign war.
The MOniteGr declares that MacMahon will !
not resign under any circumstance.
Minister Fourton has suspended from their |
functions the Mayor of Nemonrs and several |
mayors of the Department. of the Jura for
@gning the manifestoes of the Left. Measures |
Stn be taken against the Deputy Mayor of
JSeliort for the same reason. 1t is noticed that
