The apprehension with regard to Bavarian patriotism Was groundless, aud he hoped the Chuncelior would deem it advisapie to alter his policy. COUNT BISMARCK, who was somewhat excited, replied, deprecating the idea of being forced to discuss lorelga poiitics thea and there, and denying the appropriateness of troducing imto the pubic devates, You ha come hore, be proceed d, to offer a mouon of distrust, directed not against my doings, but against my intelligence.

RoME, Feb. 25, 1870. On the 2ist instant the general congregation of the Council brought its discnssions on the reforiaa- tion of the Catechism to @ close. On the 22d, another assembly was held, in which it 1g probabie thatthe Fathers discussed the modid- cations proposed to be introduced in the organic regulations oi the Conuetl, with a view to shortening Tue present interniinable character of the debates, ILappears that It is not only the opposition Bishops who proloug the discussions by purposely speaking against ime, but also the Papal partizans in the Council, who make extremely jong orations, fre- quently repeating each anothers’ arguments, tu de fence Of Lhe proposition or schema attacked by the Opposition orators. These long-winded speeches, which absolutely amount to sermons, fatigue tue bishops without forwarding business, and conse. quently application has been made to the Pope, throngh Monseigneur Fessler, Secretary of the Coun- cu, for some modticaton m the regulations, His Holiness jouna a remedy tmmediately in tho total sappression of verbal discussions, and intimated that bishops might im future express their opinions upon the wopics proposed for their consideration in wriltng Tier pawpliets would be laid upon the conneil table to be taken general cognizance of, and the acoustic diticulties accompanying vocal oratory would be thus cicverly overcome, 4 But thts was not what the bishops wanted. A mujority of them would prefer that orators should continue (0 deliver their discourses as hitherto, but that the assembly should have the right of judging when 4 suMcient nomber of speeches bad been madg upon one topic, and putting an end to them by ordenug the quesuon at issue to be put to vote, Monsetgneur Fessler has succeeded, I understand, tn persuading the Pope to forego ais deter- mination of abolishing verbal oratory aitogether, und has suggested that the modifications shali be drawn up by & commission of fathers, partly to be named by tae Pope and parily elected by the members of the Counctl. There sre bishops who protest against any change in the pre- sent mode of transacting business with general con- greygations, and say that the proposed right of the assembly to close the debave at its good pleasure { Smacks too much of Paritamentary instead of Synod- teal proceedings, setting aside the enormity there would be iu gagging the Holy Ghost, so to say, by preventing any bishop from giving utterance to what be feels to be Divine mapiration. ‘The Pope ts stili very angry at tho revelations of ounert in the German newspapers, and hag given orders for three of the most indiscreet of tnese publications to be absolutely prohibited in Rome, These are the Kolnische Zeitung, the Augsvurg Gazetie and the Vienua New Pree Press. 1 not yet declared infa n Spiritual affairs his Holiness is docidediy so in temporal matters, at any rate within the limits of Lis Own dominions; and when he gives an order he likes it to be obeyed. The Bavarian Minister, Count Tautkircher, has been working very hard, but In vain, to obtain leave for Cardinal Hokenlon’s theoiogical consultor, Dr, Friearich, of Munich, to remain in Rome, and ecclestastic himself protesied that, being con- ,Scious of haying tm no way Offended, he should take no notice of auy order to depart but only leave Rome when absolutely constrained by physical force, Ihave already stated that Dr. Fried- rich was suspected by the Pope of having communi- cated to the German papers the Council documents peiuianed In them reiating to the category of faith, am informed that on Sunday evening a detachment of gendarmes wattea on bim at his residence tn tue Piazza del Popolo and conducted fim forthwith to the ratiway stauon at Termini The Pope had his sullicient moutves, informata conseicn!id, of dismis- sing Dr. Friedrich, but many people think he has not acted wisely in 80 doing, a3 he Wil make many more revelations on his return to Germany than he could have done had he continued to stay here, Dr. Vorsach, Bishop Strossmayer’s consultor, has not been seen out of ome, although also suspected of indiscretion, but he bas been removed from his office of “assigner of places” mm the Council Hall, The government is determined on maintaing secresy if possible, but with such @ nuinver of persons in possexsion of the acts of the Council, secresy is & aitiicult uadercaking. ‘The subject now coming under consideration, the catechism being disposed of, is thal of the Chureh and her rights—De ecclesia et suis jurivus, This ig @ most inportant toptc and it embraces many de- tals, [tis expected that the qnestion of the rope’s iniallibility will be broached 1h that paragraph relate Ing co the Pope—De Romano Pontipicia—in Which us privileges and position wita ‘respect bo tae Church wili be defined, ‘vhe feeling of the public upon this question may be judged of by the following satire, which was found a few days ago pasted up on tne colonnade of St. Petor’s, and 1 several of the aajacencies of he Vatican:— Quand Koa morse, @ a mardere idieile i pomo Par yar iiero Punic, Dio vife uomol 1 sup vicario tn tira, Wt nono Play Per reuder Cuomo achians, si fs Bio t 1 add @ free translation of this pasquinade:— When Eve tasted, and gave the fatal fruit, God becamie maa andto man (reedoin gavet Pius the Ninta, God's vicar hero below, Makes himseil God to render mau a slave!

FRANCE. Cabinet Prospects—Conrt Balls—The Empress? Toliet—“irrecescillable” PoliticosA Crazy Politician, < Paris, March 1, 1870. M. Ollivier and hia Cabinet are at present abso- lute, A certain portion of the supporters of tie government desire that the reforms in contempla- tion should be advanced more rapidly. The Minis- ters Lave a great and serious card to play. A NEW ELECTORAL Law. To sbow the unportance of tais proposition it ts necessary forme to give some explanations. Since 1852 there have been two general elections and several important changes tm che circonscrip- tions, The law provides that the country shalt be divided into a certain number of electoral districts, Each of these circonseripiions contain, im round numbers, about 35,000 voters. Whenever previous governments have found that the majority of a district is hostile, they have grafted a poruon on to an adjoining favorable district, ‘and from an- other have added electors who are not political opponents. Thus Opposition hag been swamped apd government majority secured, The only dis- trict in which this process has not been adopted is the first circonscription, although the electors were known to be violently hostile, The governments not only considered it unadvisablé to sena those electors to other districts, and thus corrupt the well paenieas | but actually added political opponents from adjoining circonseription, and thus the first became the hotbed of revolution—the result was the ciection of M. Rochefort. The Itberals have always complained agaist this arbitrary cdnduct of the government, and in the new electoral law M. Ollivjcr will be compelled to go back to the system in existence before 1852, i. @, diviaing the departments imto legal dis tricts without grafting. This frightens M. Ollivier. ‘The e:ectorai law wili be delayed as jong as possibic. I can foretell that although the project for a new law may be sent to the Chamber before the close of the present session 1t will not be discussed until the next session, and snould the law then pass & digsolution will not take effect before the close. ‘Then she government will have six months before a general election; so that the Ollivier Ministry will certainly hold office for eighteen months, even aup- posing that the voice of the country should decide sgainst the present government. GOVERNMENT CANDIDATES. ‘The declaration of the Cabinet, that the days of official candidates for the honor of a seat in the Corps Légisiatif_are at an end, has not given univer- sal setisfaction, Many of the deputies forsee a prohebuity of again ceasing to represent their {ree and enlightened electors in the Chamber, when a dissolution shall take place. The speech of M. Olll- vier distinctly lutimated to those who put their trust in ofictal patronage that hereafver they must put their own suoulders to the wheel, as none others would heip them into the Legtsiative body. The Minister of Interior declined all responsibility, op account of faults committed by tis prede- cessors, but cited his cirealars and instruc. tions to the prefets, ML. Olivier prociximed with remarkable eloquence the duties of a liberal govern- ment during an Clection, and discarded the adminis- trative mfuences which have reudered oilicial can- aidatare odions to tue Country. Now, although the government bas given up ail idea of continulug the system of offictai candidature, and the authorities have received orders to act with the strictest neu- tratity, the old system Wul prevail to a certain ex- tent, The candidates favorable to the government Will adopt the same system as that pursued by ther oppenents. Committees will be formed to insure their election, but all government interference will be the act of those commitiees and not of the gov- ernment, So tat the authoriues can no longer be¥ accused ‘of exercising undue tnfuence.

A very severe article, commencing with the words omnta pro dominatione (everything for rui¢), against M.

Mapnip, Feb, 25, 1870. At the latest meeting of the radicals the chalr was taken by Ruiz Zorrilla, President of Cortes. Seilor Lopez Botas explained the object. He said that their party required greater energy, more com- pactness and:a better organization so as to carry out the ideas of the revolution of September. Rivero (Minister of the Interior) seconded the views of Lopez Botas, stating that he believed the organizution and coheston of the parties especially necessary now that the democrats und progressiats formed a@ single political nucieus. General Prim gave lis adhevion, trusting that the differences among the radicals would disappear and that they would show themselves strong and unitea, especially as an unfortunate diviston waa about to take place respecting the Porto Rico constitutional reforms and the question of the Ministers of the Chamber of the Colonies and the Tribunal of Pub- lle Accounts, After rome otner leaders had spoken Seiior Be- cerra (Minister or the Colonies) gave some explana- tions respecting the Porto Rica constitutional reforms and the recal of Seilor Hoppe, a grave matter they have not been able to settle amicably, notwithstanding the efforts used for that purpose, it being expected that it would end in a disagreement with the unionists, The government declared that the question would never result in @ vomplete crisia, but.oniy the resig., nation of a dear friend (querido amigo) that was held in the highest estimation. General Prin was of opinion that the question would end im their falling out witt the union liberal party, and if suca did take place it ought to be with- ont provocation on the part of the radicals, Schor Zorrilla was authorized to form the direc. tive board of the radicals. ‘The business of the meeting gave rise to rumors of @ ministerial crisis; it Was said that Sefor Becero had tendered his resignation and that Rivers would be obliged to follow the same course, together with another minister. The union liberals likewise held @ meeting. Some Say that no definite resolution was arrived at; others, that several propositions were presented and approved. be this as it may no one appears to know what passed, aud it is more than probable that secrecy was enjoined. In a Jate letter I said that the Carlists were about to make’another effort for the crown of Spain, aud that they were as busy a3 ants in summer getting their stores together.

On lis getting down at the ratiroad station the Prefect of Police informed him that the French government could not allow him to pursue his jour- ney to the Spanish frontier, nor could they allow him to reside in any other part of France but the North; he, however, might return to his residence at Geneva. fie chose the latter, and at once set out OD his journey accompanied by Hronch government ageuts., His frieads were allowed to “make them- selves scarce” and took duferent routes.

Sr. THOMAS, March 3, 1870, Recent dates from Puerto Cabello state that a skir- mis took place on the Savaunah, about two mules from the city, between about Uurty of the revolu- tionists and @ hundred of the government troops, when, alter firing afew shots, the former retired to the mountains, where they encamped, and from whence they make weekly raids on te outskirts of the city, carrying off horses, mules, vigs, chickens, &c. Al! the roads leading from Puerto Cabello to the mterior are blockadeu by the rebels, and nothing can enter the city from the country. The rebels are trying to cut off the supply of water trom the river San Estevan, and will probably succeed in doing so. A few nights since General Sanchez de Agreda, who had charge of the department of Puerto Cabetlo, was surprised by @ party of reyolutionisis, ab his residence at Paso Real, about four miles from the city, but as he had on that day resigued the position which he nekl under the gov- ernment, they released him after an hours captivity. 1t was reported that Domingo Monagas bad entered Caraccas with a number ol his soldiers and surrendered himself and them tw the govern- ment. The’ President had gone tn the war steamer Bolivar with 1,000 troops to Coco to check the move- Ment of Guaman Bianco, and the war steamer Fed- eraiion, formerly ealled the Honfleur, had gone with troops to Barcelona to quell the insurrection there. There were avout 700 rebel troops near Ma- cuto, a few miles from Laguaya, and also about 1,000 at Carriaca, about six leagues to the westward of Laguayra. The stage coach, on the 26:h ult, was reported to have been robbed of money between Laguayra and Carracas. ‘The robbery is supposed to have been committed by rebeis.
