EVORNG.  In the Pretty, M. Peyrat institutes a comparison between the Pope's last allocution and the famous bull, "Exurge Deus," which was burnt by Luther in the market place of Wittemberg. " The cry of distress of Leon X. proved that the cause of Rome was not the cause of God, for its sole result was the separation of a third of Europe from the papacy." The Prase anticipates as disastrous • failure for the manifesto of March 18, 1861. It proceeds to describe the present state of the Roman government in the following terms : This government Is poorer and more deeply in debt than even Austria. Its financial system, as was said the other day in the Corps Legialatif by • deputy not open to the charge of being irreligion; is based upon alms. Without a treasury, without credit, without financial resources of any kind, without an army, detested by the population, abandoned by foreign governments, unable to reckon even upon the support of Austria, where is the strength of the court of Rome? On whom and what does she rely? She has endeavoured to provoke a moral insurrection among oatholice ; her journals received and executed a sta crordre ; her secret agents have beaten up all Europe ; the ultramontane episcopate ham raised the battle-cry ; and all these combined efforts produced nothing but the famous army of Castelfidardo. The temporal papacy can only be restored in on. of two manners—either by • spontaneous return to its rob of the Marches, Romagna, and Umbria ; or by a general coalition, which, after having annihilated our armies, shall restore the throne of France to the Bourbons and power to the legitimist party. The idea that the enfranchised populations will spontaneously return to the yoke of the cardinals is an aberration too wild to be entertained by even the most rabid ultramontanist. The hope of • coalition in favour of legitimacy is a chimera, which may possibly be cherished at Rome in the concili►bnlas al Mgr. de Mfrode, but which no man of common sense in Femme will be at the pains of discussing. What signifies then the Pope's allocution ? At a former period, and in • situation morally, materially, and politically different from that of the present day, it might have been, in • certain degree, • satisfaction to self love, and • reserve of old rights against prescription. Bat now it is not even that. In repudiating all the demands of the French government., the temporal papacy deprives itself of the only force which it had left. It releases the imperial government from the too generous engagements which it had spontaneously contracted, and finds itself face to face with triumphant Italy, and reduced to a state which makes it impossible to recover what it has lost, or to keep for any length of time the remesat of power which—thanks to the protection of our soldiers—it still has. The allocution speaks in the name of the catholic, apostolic, and Roman church. Now in the ninth century this church suffered the defection from its bosom of the Greek church with sixty millions of believers; in the sixteenth century it lost a third of Europe with eighty millions of Christians; it is not therefore catholic, via., " universal." It is not apostolic, for there is nothing apostolic in the acts of the court of Rome, in the policy of Cardinal Antonelli and Mgr. de Mirode, or in the conduct of those crusaders who, as M. Granter deCassagnachappilyssid, dress themselves up ea "Torte" to defend the cross. [The Papal Zonaves are alluded to.] It is not Roman, because the Romans will not have the temporal papacy at any price, and would have demolished it ten times over, but for their respect for the French flag which protects it. The temporal papacy is only maintained by the Austro-Jesuitic and ultramontane party ;it a degenerate institution which is worn out; its existseoe ts artificial—it is the existence of • patient In the last stage of consumption.  There was a panic at the Bourse in consequence of rumours of which there is no confirmation, and which are quite opposed to the tenor of all the latest authentic news, that the Austrians had crossed the Mincio, and that war between Austria and Italy would begin immediately. The Rente ' fell 25c. both for cash and account, closing at 67fr. 90c., and 67fr. 951 r. ; Mobilier fell Orr. 25c. Most of the railways were from Mr. to 6fr. lower. The Caisse Mires fell upwards of 6fr., closing at 90fr. Madame Bandraud, the mistress of Reynaud, the murderer, of whose trial at Grenoble I gave an account the other day, hid herself in a church while the trial was going on, to avoid being called as a witness, and has since returned to her husband's house, whether to be well received or not does not appear. The fears of her having committed suicide, turn out, therefore, to have been unfounded.  The Minister of Marine has decided to establish eight electric lights on the coast of the department of the Seine Inferieure. These eight lights are to be placed at Cape de la Hoye, Cape Antifer, Etretat, Feoamp, St. Valery.en•Caux, the point of Ailly, Dieppe, and Treport. The object of these lights is to maintain a communication with ships within sight of land, and to transmit the news rapidly to the interior. A contract was concluded at the Murine•oftice at Havre on Seturday last for the construction of these eight light..  The tiport states that K de Salamanca, the Spanish capitalist, is now negotiating with the heirs of M. Scribe for the purchase of the deceased writers hotel in the Rue Pigale. The price, it is said, will be be 1,200,000 fr. The Chamber of Deputies of Stuttgardt has just voted a credit of 000,000 &wins for extraordinary expenses of artillery. Among the additions to be made to that branch of the service are 40 riled cannon, of which 20 will be east at Louisburg, and the remainder purchased from Prussia.
