      THE IMPERIAI , PAMPHLET . The . sensation Created by " Le Pape et le Congres ' throughout Europe is exceedingly remarkable . Oi Monday the Consiitutionnel , in an article signed bj its principal editor , M . Grandguillot , said that th < Times was perfectly correct in considering the pamphlet as a political expression of the good under standing and conciliation between France and Eng land . The Constitutionnel congratulates itself or this result , as . it is necessary that the two great nations of the West should remain united in the interesl of civilisation and of the European equilibrium . M Grandguillot , however , calls the attention of his readers to the difference in the political motives o the two nations , and states that France , far from intending to destroy the temporal power of the Pope , will , on the contrary , consolidate it by transforming it according to the wants of modern times . The Journal des Debats contains an article signed by M . John Lemoine , pronouncing itself favourably on ' the pamphlet . M . Lemoine proves , by quotations from his former articles , that he always had expressed the same opinions on this subject , and demands that Italy should remain mistress of her own destinies . According to his view the Congress of I 860 can take no resolution of its own , but is only called together to recognise the expressed wishes of the Italians . ; The Russian Ambassador , Count KisselefF , has declared to Count "Walewski that the pamphlet ¦ . " Le Pape et le Congres" contains—without considering the religious question , with which Russia does not intend to interfere—principles in opposition to the respect for authority on which the Russian government is founded , and that , consequently , Russia will oppose the programme drawn up in that pamphlet . We are informed that after this Count Walewski declared to the diplomatic corps in Paris that as long as he remained at the head of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs , the pamphlet , "Ze Pape et le Congres , " should not be considered ^ as the programme of the French Ministry . The Dukede Gramraont has been officially informed by Cardinal Antonelli that , in consequence of the publication of the pamphlet " JLe Pape et le Congres , " the departure of the First Plenipotentiary of the Statesiof the Church for Paris , to be present at the Congress , has been suspended . It is asserted that Austria , Naples , and Spain will not send Plenipotentiaries to the Congress should the Pope not be represented . A Paris letter says : — "I am told that all the ministers , except M . Billault , were originally opposed to the publication of the pamphlet . No doubt a great many of them are converted by this time . There is much talk of the possible resignation of Count Walewski , who stands personally committed to a policy altogether opposed to that of the pamphlet . But there is a difficulty in finding him a successor , and he will very probably think better of it . I doubt much whether ho ever repudiated the pamphlet to Monsigneur Sacconi in the terms mentioned by a London telegram . It is most likely that he gave an evasive answer . His denial of its official character would amount to nothing , for he treated the fmnous ' Napoleon III . et lMtalie' of last year in the same way . " flic Pays contains an article signed by M . Granier de Cassngnac on tho pamphlet , which , the article states , has been wrongly interpreted by the newspapers . Tho pamphlet does not propose to deprive the Pope of tho Legations , but advises his Holiness to submit to tho present state of things , and proclaims tho necessity of maintaining tlie temporal power of tho Vopc M . de Cassagnac adds that tho pamphlet confines itself to pronouncing an opinion ; tho Congress alone will decide , and even after that the Church will remain full and entire . THE POPE AND THE FRENCH BISHOPS . The Univers has received a second warning for an article and an address to the Pope , signed by M . Louis Veuillot . Tho reason for this warning is , that if tho question of tho Papal States treated by the Univcrs may bo freely discussed , it could not , however , bo allowod to endeavour to organise a political agitation in France under religious pro-° Some of tho bishops , following M . Louis Veuillot ' a load , are trying how far tho patience of the Government will bear tho attempt to revive priestly domination in Franco . Mgr . Dupanloup , Buhop or Orleans , distinguishes himself among lib follows by a pamphlet of extraordinary violence . It s said that the question has been discussed at the Ministry of tho Interior whether a warning should not bo given to tho Union and other journals which publish this pamphUit . It Is signed , with a cross , I < ollx , Bishop of Orleans , and therefore , it Is contended , it & ¦ ' ¦ " : ,, ¦ ' nUiMfch . * J' . ;/ ' . » .

      : is not the work of the individual M . Dupanloup , but a pastoral letter in disguise , and that it therefore falls within the category of the ecclesiastical documents which the journals have been admonished not to publish . However , instead of vio-> i lently suppressing the Bishop of Orleans' arguments , the better course has been decided upon to r answer them . A series of letters is to appear in a the Constitutionnel from an " independent Catholic , " * which will be inspired by tlie same ideas that are to ' be found in the pamphlet , " Le Pape et le Congres . " " Parisian Gossip . —All Paris is in expectation of " a political speech from the Emperor , which is looked for on New Year ' s Day . The Emperor went on l Thursday to Fontainebleau , where he gave a hunting party ; he was to return to Paris to-day ( Saturday ) . ' The Pope ' s Nuncio , Mgr . Sacconi , is " beginning , to f be indisposed , " in order that he may escape the task of making the usual speech to the Emperor on New Year ' s Day . His absence will not probably prevent J the Emperor from making his intended manifesto . ' The Mqniteur announces that Prince Jerome has , entered into a state of convalescence . It is said that , M . Guizot is engaged on a pamphlet on the temporal power of the Pope . Lord and Lady Cowley , ' on Monday , received at their country seat at Chantilly the Clite of the English residents in Paris to a ; Christmas party .

      THE HUNGARIAN EXCITEMENT . A correspondent of the Tillies , writing from Vienna , says that it is perfectly true that the Austrian Government has commenced proceedings against some of those persons who at Kassmark protested aeainst the Imperial patent of the 1 st September , but it is totally false that " 180 Protestant noblemen and gentlemen of Kassmark and Miskolz have been cast into prison , &c . " . None of the persons present at the Superintendental Assembly at Ivrosmark have been arrested , and overt M . von Zsodonyl , who took tho lead at Kiostnark , will not be deprived of his liberty while tho process against ! iim is going on . One hundred and odd persons uivo been subpooned to appear at Kaschau on a given day , but only M . von Zsedenyi , M . Mngyai , and a third person , whose name , has escaped my memory , will bo brought to trial . On tho 12 th instant tho representatives of eleven out of tho thirteen Protestant communities of tho Liptau Seniorate resolved to petition His Majesty to suspend his patent of Soptembor 1 st , " until a general Synod had been convoked . " Tho represen-¦ atlves of the l » th community wished to accept tho Imperial patent . Tho 13 th community—that ot » t . Miklosch—was not represented at all , its spiritual chief having declared that any person who should say a word against tho Imperial patent would bo punishable by law . One of the more lnfl » ° ntwl members of tho community having vontured to oxpross a contrary opinion , tho . clergyman—a Slovft c tasked him how he , a man who hbd «« vot wooiSS tho sacrament , could dare to oppose him .

" ^ - ^ " ^ - ' ^^ - ^^ On the 19 th inst . the Hi ^ gi ^ J ^ Bc ^^^ held a sitting , during which Baron vonKemeny made a brilliant speech . The eloquent magnate spoke at some length on the relations between Austria and Transylvania , and observed that the Emperor Leopold I ., as King of Hungary , " recognised the constitution of Transylvania in his act of coronation " ( probably in 16 . 92 ) . It may be observed that the Transylvanian Diet lias only , met four times during the last twenty-nine years . As the Vienna press is now obliged to write what Government pleases , the public is assured that the Municipal Commissions in Hungary are doing their work well . The truth of the matter , however , is that the Commissioners are formed of persons who enjoy the confidence of the Imperial authorities , bat not of the Hungarian nation .

      AUSTRIAN SUPPORT TO THE POPE . On Friday a special messenger was sent by the Austrian Government to Paris , and it is not unlikely that he was the bearer of despatches in which was more particularly mentioned the question of the Komagna ; Although the Austrian Empire is extremely ' weak , and its finances are in a most deplorable condition , the Emperor Francis Joseph will doubtless try to maintain the integrity of the domains of the Church . It is not likely that His Majesty will send troops to the assistance of the Papal Government , but it is in his power indirectly to render it highly important services . The Austrian forces in the three districts on the right bank of the Po are a standing menace for the Revolutionary party in Central Italy , and a . moral support to the adherents of the former governments . It is suspected that pecuniary assistance will , in case of need , be given to the exiled sovereigns , but I am not inclineJ to believe that Baron Bruck could be induced to advance money to men who have but little chance of being able to repay it . The Minister of Finance has , every now and then , strained a point in order to oblige his Imperial master , but he cannot venture to employ any part of the revenue for the furtherance of objects which in no way concern the inhabitants of the empire . The subject is freely discussed , and the Austrians publicly declare that if they could have their will no more blood and money would be spent in fruitless attempts to maintain tlie influence of the Imperial Government in Italy .

      SPAIN AND MOROCCO . On the 26 th December Queen Isabella Segunda was safely delivered of a princess . With regard to the war , the Madrid Gazette of . the 23 rd instant publishes the following dispatch from the Commander-in-Chief of the Spanish forces : " Heights of Serrallo , December 22 . —General Prim advanced this morning with his division on the Tetuan road to continue the works . At 1 o ' clock he was attacked , which did not prevent the works being continued till 4 p . m ., the hour appointed for returning to camp .. The troops having commenced their return , the Moors renewed the attack , extending it to the Quesada division , which was well placed to cover the workmen . I had expected an attack here , and had placed myself in the position of that division . The enemy was driven back on all sides . The Tetuan road is completed as far as Castillejos . The number of the Moors was very considerable , as their line of fire was more than a league in extent ; but their fire was-so badly directed that ; though it lasted five hours , they only hit 40 of our men , of whom 12 were severely wounded and four killed . For the first time our cavalry charged the enemy , who fled without awaiting the shock . Generals Count de Reuss ( Prim ) and Quesada distinguished themselves by their perfect arrangements for the battle . "

      THE AMERICAN DISPUTE . Advices from Washington state that on the whole the mission of General Scott to San Juan proves satisfactory to the Government , although it has npt accomplished quite all that was desired . The temporary engagements entered into are approved by the President and Cabinet . The British authorities are to join in the military occupation of San Juan , and each nation is to have 100 men on the island . The House of Representatives had not elected a Speaker , and the President ' s Message had not , therefore , been communicated to Congress . ^ The remainder of the prisoners in the Harper s Ferry affair were executed at Charlestown , Virginia , on the 16 th inst . All passed off quietly , no attempt at rescue having been made .

      CAVOUR AT THE CONGRESS . A Turin letter says of this statesman : — As tor the conditions he made when accepting his appointment of plenipotentiary , everything has beeni adjusted in conibrmity with his wishes . On the other W , iie arrangement * he has made and tho instructions ho has received from the King and from the ministers , cannot substantially vary at an afterpodod Piedmont and the whole of Italy have one £ m purpose , and that U f to obtain the annexation of Contril Italy : This is what Cavour will demand a id urge without any change or deviation which fudoed will not be possible ; but up to tho present n omei t ho does not expect to find any supporters , with tho exception of England , and perhaps Sweden .
