At that time no body in Paris had an idea that Mr. Cobden Dad established a depot of Eng! $& Cloud, and was studying economical raform with the ror, as be once before had done with sir Robert Peel. The Emperor made a good use of this opportunity to acquire commercul knowledge, and he thus became epabied to meet and conquer the deputauous of the pro- tectionists on their own ground. The Conference which is eharged to draw up a code of maritime law for Germany bas resumed its sittings at Hamburg, apd bas resolved to moet four times a week, io ‘order to terminate before Easter the examination of amendments proposed in the dra‘t it has prepared.

Your readers, ne doubt, are “aware that this journal was the sof disant organ of the © ibolic party and that it was a vile, bigoted, QUart’ some and most abusive sheet, always attacking £076 ope or omething with s vehemence and want of reason that long ago stamped it a nuisance, Ever since the commencement of the Italian war the Univers has heaped abuse and impudent inuendoes upon this govern: ment, while it gloried lustily in the stern energy of the outrages that occurred at Perugia. What the Pope did was correct and praiseworthy; what the Emperor Na poleon did was ever @ subject of ill- natured comment, merely kept from open attack by @ fear of the consequences. At last came the revolt of the people of the Romagnas, and then the Univers set aside all caution, and began ® steady and eoptiaved bowhng against the evemiee of Rome. Iteaw them on all shles, and like Toots’ dog, it barked from morning til nig‘at, at some imagioa-y foe. It encouraged the opposition of the clergy, publiched their mandates, excited ita readers to revolution and outrage, and attacked with @ blind fury thie government. It wes warned to stop such a courge ere sco lato; but ite editor, Louis Veuillot, kept up bis infamous slaog, and at fast, tired aad wearied with remonetrating in vain, the government bas put its foot on the reptile’s head and crushed it to death. So muck Jor the Umirers, 1) is a good riddance of worse than bed rubbish. But we now hear of a new advocate for the tempo- ral power and interests of Rome. The Queen of Spain has, as I am assured by good authority, declared her iaten- tion of openiy espousing the es:is0 of St. Peter’s successor, and this in spite of the. strenuous opposition of her mivisters. She will ald Pius IX. againe: the people of the Legations; but ste forgots that France and England will never, om any protext, allow any such inter- vention, and by her present policy she will but succeed in gaining the i will of both these Powers, forcing them to snub her into a re- tignation of her bigoted ,resolve. She evidently forgets that as yet the Moors are not conquered, and tbat, al- though rumors of peace are circulated, as yet nothiog is decided open. The Nuncio of his Holiness at Madrid is stirring up the Queen te some act which may commit her, but all bis machinations must fall, for France and England are cow united as regards the Italian question, and they will prevent any use of undue infla- ence agsinst the people of Central Italy. I am told, and it te a notorious fact, tbat at present the Pope is more under Avetrian ipfluepee than be was before tne commeucemout of the last war. Surely, ttapeaks volumes againet bis cause, that he shoold be supported but by the two most bigned and less acvanced Powers in Europe Neher S; Aurtata will dare to rup counter with the cesires of and England as regarcs his Holinvas. They may surrep- tiously lead bim movey and @ few men, but they dare pot openly undertake to reconquer for him the revolted Legations. All Burope would cry out against such a courte of acvon, and the cause of the Pope’s temporal power be more than ever damaged. Decidedly, his Holi- ness is gottiog in wha the French call an * Impasse.” Lebould have stated at the commencement of this le:ter tbat the cause aes'gved for thy suporession of the Untvers was the fact of 1s giving publicity to a lettor from the Pope to the Emperor Napoleon, in reply to his Majesty’s letter of the Sist of Deeember, which I sent a translation of Inet week or the week before. Tne publication of the letter (the Pope’s) cooxtituted an infraction of a specific article of the constitution. 4 letter to the sovereign sad from a sovereign ruler requires the official sanction for reproduction. The Ustramontanista wil) pow understand that this government is untiinebing in fte resolution as regards ‘the part it will take on the subject ot tne difficulty with Rome and the seulement of the Pope’s temporal power. The Constitutimnel pudlishes a leater to day, expressing regrets that the \Romish Court is still so wech under the imfluepce of Anstris, and that the Pope shonid have refused to follow the advice given bim by the Emperor Napoleon as regards the Ro* pas, The Constitutionnel saye:—‘That France has dove ber duty, and that she cannot be turned from that by counsels or menaces.” The semi official journel complains of the injustice done to France, but as- serta tha: it will not cause her to depart from her character of moderati and protection © * Still, France cannot assume the responsibility of di fendiag the Pope trom the resulta ef his present blind policy.” allthis means that Pins IX. will wake up some fine morning and find whe Frepch gone from Rome, and him- relf at ‘Se mercy of & mob, that has learned from the bad management of his Mivtsters to hate bm and ail that are connected witb him. ‘Troabie is brewing, and those that are too blind to sve it must suffer the consequence. Count de Cavour, opve again in office, nastens to let the Furopean Powers know what he jutends doing. He has ineued a circular, which asserts that the neople of Central Italy bad accepted with confidence the Congress, but that important events had caused its adjournment. He con- cludes that ut present there is but little chance for tbe speedy re-onion of the Congrees. He takes the occasion to assert that the pewphlet “Le Pape et le Congres.’’ tho letter of the Emperor Napoleon IIT, the speech of the Queon of England, and that of Lord Palmerston are facts that prove the > bility of the reatoratiwp of the dethroned Por of Cen- tral Italy. The Count concludes by promising that be will never fail in his responsibility for the tranqaitty of Ba- rope and tho pacification of Italy.

They will continue tyrannizing over the poor Venetians until the cap will ron over, and then wo stall hear of deeds that will harrow our feolings, and canse us to wish that the Emperor Navoleon had chased the cruel and blood thirsty Croats back to the innermost: receeees of Croatia. 1 have a budget of exciting and revo- Intionary news for this week's letter. At Measioa the er citement of the revoluuonary party seems to have reached the highest pitch, and an outbreak is feared that may epread ell over the island of Sicily. At Syracuse there is a large force of Neapolitan troops, but it remains to be seen whether the authorities can trust them. The Morning Pest, of London, Lord Paimerston’s organ, thus refers to thie subject:. “ Her Majesty's government, we have reason to know, is not mauferent to the unsatisfactory condition of the domestic and foreign affairs of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. The Hon.

In company with about twenty other Americans I hed the pleasyre of being ‘<presented” to their Imperial Majesties the Emperor and €mpress of the French, at the second reception given at the Tuileries on Wedaoceday eventrg last. The process of obtaiming an invitation is very simple. You know that with the people of other countries, or at Yeast of theee living under monarchal governments there is much more diffoulty in gaining admittance to the presence of foreign royalty than there is for americans, the rule with the Ministere of the former nations belog to pre Bent no ope ‘to a foreign sovereign wbo bas not been pre, sented to big own. Any respectable American, however who may be in Paris, by leaving bis name at the American Legation, will be pretty sure of obte ning an invitation to “pass the evering at the Tullerirs,” issued in the name of the Emperor, by the Grand Chamberlain. after obtata ing this, vo grest amovpt of preparation is required. The recipient must, if he have any scruples about patting on @ court dress, sacrifice them, as be will not be permitted to enter the Palace without being at tired in one, or in a uniform of some description. ‘The dress worn by Americans is very simple, consiating of a blue dress coat, with @ single ‘or double row of bat tons, straight embroidered collar, with embroidery upen the cuffs and on the back; white or blue pantaloons, with a gold band at the side, a white vest and cravat, patent leather boots, sword and a cocked hat; or, if one happens to bare a good ealf, and is desirous of exhibiting it, be may wear tights and silk stockings and pumps, which is the strict court dress. ‘The presentations are now, although they wore not formerly, all made on the reception evenings; 80 that after being presented persons may enter the ballroom end participate in the festivities of the evening. The ea- trances to the Palace, however, for those who have been und those who have pot been presented, are different, the former passing under the Pavilion Des Horloge, and proceeding up the grand staircase and entering directly into the ballroom, while the former enter by the Pavi- lion de Flor, at the end of tne Palace, toward the Seine. By halt past eight o'clock, which was the hour prescribed, I found myself m the Saion d’Apolion, the room in which the preecntations are made, and which wus already bril- Mavt with light, and showy dresses and bright eyes, among which none shoue more than those of our fair country women In this room were gathered Americanr, Eogtish, French, Roselans, Sarciniars, Austrians, Turks, Greeks, a few Persians, and, indeed, representatives of almost ever: nation and clime uncer heaven, waiting to be presented, the Minieters of the aifterent nations being present in their Cipiomatic costumes Mr. Calhoun, american Charge d’Aftaires, and Mr. Wil- bur, Secretary of Legation, were bath present, looking very veat in the fuil court costume, and Mr. Wilour’s calves showed to ular advantage, encased in bis flesh colored slik stockings. We were ranged around the sides of the room, and there we bad the pleasure of remaining until a quarter past ten, when from a@ oor at the end of the room to- ‘wards the private apartments of the imperial family, we heard the ennounc-ment *‘1,/Empereur,” and from @ side door entered a jong rt-ing of ladies of the frecnded by chamberlams.

The Minister of the Interior, M. Billault, memorialises the Fmperor, in the columns of the Moniteur this morning, that its eflorts are incessantly directed to sway the French clergy, to trouble consciences, to agitate the country, to ap the fountations on which the relations of the church to civil eoctety are established, and, therefore, it ought to be silenced. The Minister goes on to say that the doc: tripes it inculcates are irreconcilable with true patriotiem, and to it are to be attributed those excited publications on the part of the clergy which have already caused so much ecandal; and that the interest of the church iteelf as well aa the maintenarce of public tranquillity requires that a limit should be put to such excess. Napoleon, therefore, by the grace of God and the na- tiopal will Emperor of the French, decrees, and does de- cree, the following: that “the journal, the Univers, be suppressed’? ‘The eame mai] which conveys you this will carry out the Pope's encyclical letter, and I shall therefore only note the parts of it which bave caused the chief excitement here, For, whatever may be the immediate political as- pect in which matters may be viewed, let it not be sup- posed for one moment that a document of this kind is not of @ patore to produce excitement of the deepest charac- ter.

It is felt that at least all must have been understood between the Neapo. itap monarch and the Holy Ohsir before such a docament as the encyclical letter, containing such remarkable pas- eager, could have been put ferth; and taken together with the cloudy attitude of Austria, the English view of too Savoy querti»n, and the increaxing moroseness of mono.
