ISfevertheless , four of these Powers , in one of the preceding phases of the Eastern question , united without France . ' The concert was not re-established . until after the incident that gave rise to the treaty of July 13 . An analogous fact may * therefore , without - anomaly , be repro-- duced under actual circumstances ; In order to take part ifr-a-debate , the party must be entitled ? but the only title Prussia invokes is her qu ^ ltty of-great power . Fraaee does not dispute- the rank : of Prussia ; but rights have correlative duties , and' in ; general we do not t * eat on the- conditions of peaee unless we have waged war , or , aT least ,- have accepted the eventuality of taking ait-active part in it ; It is as 3 ignatary = « f the treaty of Feb . 13 , 1841 , by which France entered the European cttocertrthat she . takes up arms for Turkey . If Prussia recognises the importance of that treaty to which she subscribed , she has declined its obligations , and loses the right of ' participating ii * its revision . Even in this case France would , at the end of the negotiations , join in any combination to give to Prussia guarantees equivalent to those in 1841 , and to cause her to resume her station in Europe . Prussia ' s isolation is her own . France cannot be accused of having wished indirectly to diminish the importance of the Confederation , of the secondary - - powers by excluding Prussia . - - — —— On the 29 th of January , M . Drouyn da Ltiuys addressed another despatch to the Prussian Government through the French' ambassador , M . da Moustier . France is ready to sign a separate treaty with . Prussia immediately , provided only that it contain the same obligations ^ as -th e treaty of'the 2 nd of December . Prussia ha £ distinctly declined to sign either protocol ,, note , or treaty , with the three Powers . M : Drouyn de Lhuys insists on the wilful isolation of Prussia from the common cause of the three Powers . In a circular despatch addressed to the agents of Prussia , at the German Courts , dated the 17 th of January , M . Manteuffel informs them of the resumed negotiations on . the Four Points , and of the alliance of France and Austria . Prussia wilt not ] abandon , her neutral attitude , and she calls upon her German confederates to support her in the Diet . Lord Cowley has addressed to the French : Minister of Foreign Affairs a copy of the address of- " the Legislative Council and . Assembly of "Canada , offering their congratulations on the victory of Alma , and contributing 20 , 0001 . to the widows and orphans of the two nations .

The Stick has had a severe private , warning for its recent articles asking for more liberty . ¦ _ From Spain we learn that French gendarmes have ¦ arrested fourteen Carlists , secreted near the Spanish frontier , prepared to attempt an invasion m Navarre . On the 3 rd inst . the Spanish Cortes voted the first basis of the constitution—the national sovereignty . On the 5 th M . Madoz presented a bill to the Cortes , authorising the complete sale of the Church , property . The Minister ! has expressed his determination to caxry out . this measure in spite of all opposition from Home . Espartero has addressed an energetic memorandum to the Governors of Provinces , insisting on _ obed * enee to the laws , and public order , as the guajraafeees of : liberty . In . theCortes , the Minister of Grace and Justice announced that ^^ the -newspaper , the- CatoHco , should be prosecuted forJha-viBg published the Pope ' s . Butt on the Immaculate Conception before it had received the sanction of the Goverjuneat . On the 7 th . last , the Treaty of Alliance was adopted by the Piedwontese Chamber of Deputies , alter a remarkable speech from Count Cavour , in . reply to the Opposition- Geoeral Dabormida ,. the late Minister of Foreign Affairs , expressed his adherence to the general policy of the Government , though he had felt it his duty to resign office . It is bElieved that diplomatic rer lations will soon be re-established between Piedmont and Austria » ¦ . ¦ ' ~ x « In the arsenal at Turin preparations fox the expedition to the East are being carried on with great activity . The whole of the infantry of the line will shortly be furnished with forty Minie rifles per company . A Monitory from the Pope against the Suppression of Convents . * BiH has arrived in Turin . A Monitory is preliminary to excommunication ; an interval of three weeks for repentance is usuaBy allowed , but the Government at Turin shows no disposition to repent . It does not oppose _ the _ djscussion . of the monitory in the press , but it withholds its exequatur for the public readwig of the document in the churches . In a consistory held on the 12 th of January , the Pope , after deploring the obstinacy of-the Sardinian Government , j aot only " denounces . and condemns" its-antiecclesiaatical measures , but- "declaBea them null and voidy-and threatens the pains and penalties " denounced by thfe apostolic constitutions and the canons of thesacredtjouneils , especially . of the € ouncil of Trent . " The King ^ of Naples is said to be enraged at th » Piedmontese aJKance . with ; the Western Powers ., He iaa J « Bt : renewed his * contract with Switzerland for thesupply of troopa far thirty years . His Queen has been delivered of a . Princess . The-General of the'Jesuits iiaa addveased a circular ^ da * ed Borne , Jauuary 10 , to the provincials of the order , in , whLchtJia instruct * them how _ to just with respect t » the . dTfferea * foEms of p ^ o £ the : Jc 8 uitB . beiBgi he says , solely , a-religious order , and devoted exclusively- , to-the . salvation of men's souls , the various members of it- are everywhere to act as faithful subjects of the government under which they live , and in no case to interfere in political matters . In that manner only can they , the circular declares , conform to the principles on which the order is founded . It is somewhat extraordinary that if these be true Jesuit principles , the members of the order should require to be . taught them at this \ time of day . The £ hiis $ e announces that the English Government has offered the Swis 3 Federal Colonel Bontems the rank of . Lieutenant-General , with ., the command of a foreign , legion , which he accepted . A treaty of alliance is talked of with Portugal , on tho same terms as that with Piedmont . The Portuguese legion is to be 12 , 000 men . This rumour wants confirmation . The Tuscan army , numbering about 8000 men , is reported to manifest a desire to take part in the war . The Duke and Duchess of Brabant returned to Venice on the 28 rd ult . ^ ftom their excursion to Milan , and embarked on the 28 th for Egypt , intending to go as fur as tho cataracts of the Nile , and return through Palestine and Syria .. The accovchemeut of the Empress of Austria ia daily expected' ; 101 guns will announce the birth of an heir to the throne , and 20 that of a princess . If a prince is born he wilt probably bo named Rudolph , after the founder of the family ; if a princess , Sophia , after tho mother of the Emperor . Tho Emperor , as a kind of acknowledgment of the important services rendered by the late liaron . "VVelden during the years 1848 and 1849 , has appointed his widow "Ayah , " or govoracsa-da-cbief , to his expected offspring . .

As tho French , cavalry passed through Genoa , thjQ following address . was circulated along ; tho lino of march : —¦ " Soldiers of Franco , —You will traverse our countries i
^^ ^^^* ^ a . , you . . a smile of friendship , not a flower of reo * embji « ice . on your footsteps , no brotherly adieu , no regard of tenderness and regret . You will receive only official flatteries . The cause of all that , soldiers of France , is , . that you are about to return to your countty , your breasts covered with wounds and . crosses , . which . weigh because they have been blessed by the Pope and cursed by the people . The cause of all that is , that you have been sent here to betray a nation , and you understand that this nation cannot receive you with a smile on itslips . Thus we , retaining in our hearts the indignation felt by our brethren throughout Italy , must say to you—soldiers of France , we pity you because you also , are , unhappy . "We would willingly grasp your hands as brothers , but those hands are stained with the blood of our friends , of our children—of the children of a nation which ,, had it not been for your liberticidal bayonets , would have released itself from the double tyranny of priests and tyrants . Tou pass through the midst of widows and orphans whom you haveTnade such . Turn away your eyes , for you will encounter the pale visages of those who by you have been torn from their families and lead a life of misery and exile . You , also , you . are very miserable , because , in . suffocating our nascent liberties , you have fallen with us , and you cannot , like us , have the pride of victims-and respect in your falL You ,, children of Voltaire and the Revolution , you have given us the Pope , the Roman Inquisition , and the tortures in the dungeons ; but , in exchange , you go to see still smoking at home the blood of the 2 nd of December . You go to carry th . e messages of the Pope to a master who has sold and dishonoured you . You go to bow the head before a man who has made of the glorious soldiers of France , of that country of Bayard and of Hoche , an army of Swiss and almost of gaolers , You go to find tears and misery everywhere ; maledictions suppressed by the fear of slavery ; the most courageous citizens in prison or transported ; the best generals—those who could lead you to Jloigr *—languishing in exile ; while the honour of / your- flag , aad the lives of your- comrades are confided to ciaefe . without capacity , without faith , and without hoaouBf Yes , we pity vou , because yours is a cruel miafortsaae- —more cruel " than ours ,, for there is . shame attached to it . Soldiers of France ,-= we hope ia the future ; : we have faith in ,, the regeneration of peoples , in the resurrection of nationalities . May you one day return among us , washed of . the blood of our brethren , with the lioly alliance of the nations ! . — "" " The Genoese , in the name of the wbofe nation . " Genoa , December , 1864 .
