      —?—The Imperial Pamphlet. The Sensation ...

      THE IMPERIAL PAMPHLET . The sensation created by "Le Pape et le Co . ngres " throughout Europe is exceedingly remarkable . On Monday the Constitutionnel , in an article signed by its principal editor , M . Grandguillot , said that the Times was perfectly correct in considering the pamphlet as a political expression of the good understanding and conciliation between France and England . The Constitutionnel congratulates itself on this result , as it is necessary that the two great nations of the West should remain united in the interest of civilisation and of the European equilibrium . M . Grandguillot , however , calls the attention of his readers to the difference in the political motives of 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 .

      not the work of the individual M . Dupanloup , hut a pastoral letter in disguise , and that it therefore , falls within the category of the ecclesiastical documents which the journals have been adr monished not to publish . ^ However , instead of violently suppressing the Bishop of Orleans' arguments , the better course has been decided upon to answer them . A series of letters is to appear in the Constitutionnel from an " independent Catholic , " which will be inspired by the 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 oh New Year ' s Day . The Emperor went on 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 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 the Emperor from making his intended manifesto . The Moniteur 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 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 1860 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 declare ! to Count Walewski that the pamphlet

      " LePapeet 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 \ vhich 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 , " - Le Pape et le Congres " should not be considered as the programme of the French Ministry . informed

      The D uke de Grammontlias been officially by Cardinal Antonelli that , in consequence of the publication of the pamphlet "• LePape et le Congres , " the departure of the First Plenipotentiary of the States of 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 . BHlault , 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 ho treated the famous ' Napoleon HI . et l'ltalie of last year in the same way . "

      Tho Pays contains an article signed by M . Granior do Cassagnac on the pamphlet , which , the article states , has been wrongly interpreted by the newspapers . The pamphlet does not propose to deprive the Pope of tho Legations , but advises his Holiness to submit to the present state of things , and proclaims the necessity of maintaining tho temporal power of the Pope . M . « k ? Cassagnac adds that the pamphlet confines itself to pronouncing an opinion ; tho Congross 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 VoulUot . Tho reason for this varwng is , that if the question of tho Papal States treated by the CTniveramny bo freely discussed , it could not , however , bo allowed to endeavour to organise a political agitation in Franco under religious pro-AauJi Some of tho bishops , following M . Louis Veujllot ' e lead , are trying how far tho patience of the Government will bear the attempt to revive priestly domination in Franco . Mgr . Dupanloun , Jushop of Orleans , distinguishes himself among his fellows by ft pamphlet of extraordinary violence . It " *

      that tho question has boon discussed at tn © Ministry of tho Interior whether a warning should not bo Siren to tho Union and other journals whloh puboh this pamphlet . It is signed , with a cross , Follx , Bishop of Orleans , and therefore , it is contended , it

      Austrian Support To The Pope. On Friday ...

      AUSTRIAN SUPPORT TO THE POPE . On Friday a special messenger was sent by the Austrian Government to . Paris , and it is not ualikely that he was the bearer of despatches in which was more particularly mentioned the question of the Eoraagna . 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 Pb 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 inclined 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 the influence of the Imperial Government in Italy .

      The Hungarian Excitement. A Conitesi'oni...

      THE HUNGARIAN EXCITEMENT . A conitESi'ONi > ENT of the Times , writing from Vienna , says that it is perfectly true that the Austrian Government has commenced proceedings against some of those persons who at Ktesmark protested against the Imperial patent of the 1 st September , but it is totally false that " 180 Protestant noblemen and gentlemen of Kwsmark and Miskolz have been cast into prison , & c . " None of tho persons present at the Superintendental Assembly at Ivcesniark have been arrested , and even M . von Zsedenyi , who took the lead at Koosraark , will not be deprived of his liberty while tho process against him is going on . One hundred and odd persons have been subpoened to appear at Kaschau on a ffivort dav . but only M . von Zsedenyi , M . Mngyai ,

      and a third person , whoso name has escaped my memory , will bo brought to trial . On the 12 th instant the representatives of eleven out of the thirteen Protestant communities of the Liptau Seniorato resolved to petition His Majesty to suspend his patent of September 1 st , " until a general Synod had been convoked . ' The representatives of tho 12 th community wished to accept the Imperial patent . The 13 th community--thatof ' St . Miklosoh- ~ -was not represented at all , its spiritual chief having declared that any person who should av-a word against the Imperial patent would bo

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 1692 } . It may be observed that the Transylvanian Diet has 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 , but not of the Hungarian nation .

      Spain And Morocco. On The 26th December ...

      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 hav-ing 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 o \ ir 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 Kn + fln " ¦ .

      The American Dispute. Advices From Washi...

      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 not 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 huve 100 men on the island . The House of Representatives had not elected a Speaker , ami 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 , V lrgmia , on the 16 th inst . AH passed off quietly , no attempt at rescue having been made .
