mHE speech of the Emperor Napoleon , at Bor-- * - deaux , in answer to the fulsome and Jesuitical address of the Cardinal Archbishop , is deserving of the most serious attention , since it seems to foreshadow the determination of the sagacious ruler of France to follow the dictates of enlightenment and common sense , and to refuse any longer to bolster up by real or imaginary support the desperate cause of priestly intolerance and Papalmisgovernment in the
unfortunate States of the Church . It is true that to the clerical party at ^ d their influence Louis Napoleon owes his present position ; but having fulfilled all the promises which he / made in order to conciliate the French clergy , in the matters of education and ecclesiastical government , he has done all that he -was bound in honour to accomplish . He is now top firmly seated at the helm of government to be influenced by the blustering ^ of enraged monks or irate archbishops ; and it is probable that he clearly discerns the impossibility of restoring the Pope ' s lost authority over
onehalf of the Legations , or of preserving it in the remainder of the Papal dominions , without committing himself to a course of procedure which would involve an odium and loss of popularity which he is far too sagacious to risk . In his speech , therefore , he alludes to the necessary reforms which must immediately be effected in the administration of the Roman States , and somewhat sardonically speaks of the new glory which the Church will acquire when the world is convinced that the Holy Father ' s power is not opposed to liberty and progress . He desires only to give good counsel , " dictated by sincere devotion to the interests of his Holiness , " but he cannot but be anxious for the result of the evacuation of Rome by the French troops—an
event which we are given to understand is to be no longer delayed than the end of the present year . What the result of that step will be it is riot very difficult to foretell—if the French Emperor is sincere in liis declaration thnt Franco will guarantee the Italians from foreign intervention in the settlement of their affairs . If the French troops are to lie withdrawn from the Romah States , we can hardly doubt that Napoleon will take care that the contingents of Austria and . Spain follow their oxamplo ; . and who then shall interfere with the sovereignty of Victor Emmanuel over the liberated people of Italy P The popular feeling is strongly manifested in the Eternal City , itself , and ¦ wo hear that the arch-priest has left his capital for Gastcl Gondolfo to confer , as it is said , with
the young King of Naples as to the measures winch shall be taken to prop , up the tottering chair of St . Peter . " In consequence of the popular agitation" the Hol y Father will remain Absent awlxile from the faithful ones at Rome ; and in case of any acoident wo find that he has ready at Porto Anzio ( near to which place he will sojourn ) a fast-sailing English-bunt corvette , yrnioh 'is , nft doubt , fully oapable of bearing liiro . away from" the fj lory of martyrdom , or from the desagrAmons of pereonW tramt .
The miscreants who , by the murder of the wretched Anviti at Barma , have done their utmost to imperil the best interests of their country for the sake of gratifying a miserable private revenge , are , we trust , ere this , in the hands of justice . Farini , hurrying to his post from Turin , has appealed to the highest and noblest instincts of his countrymen to disavow this brutal and unreasoning crime , and has proclaimed to the world that justice shall be done upon murderers even
though the life sacrificed was worthless . Their chosen Sovereign , he tells them , is shocked at the disgrace brought upon the cause of freedom by fout assassination—he would only shed the blood of his foemen upon the battlefield . The dictator in addition to these " pfave orts " has made numerous arrests , and little as any one can pity the conspirator who has gone to his account , still for the sake of constitutional government in Italy , it is to be hoped that the delinquents will not
Russell will find some means of arranging the quarrel satisfactorily to both parties . The insurrectionary project at Constantinople has been succeeded by the trial and condemnation of the principal conspirators , the Sultan mercifully refusing to allow capital punishment to be inflicted , in any case . From America , the latest intelligence confirms the opinion that General Harney ' sproceedings would meet with little favour with the generality of his countrymen . the most i feature of
In home affairs conspcuous the week ' s history has been the meeting at Bradford of the Association for Promoting Social Science . Here philosophy , patrio&m , and philanthropy , have united to consider the best means of amelio-r rating the condition of ourselves and our fellowmen . Lord Shaftesbury ' s elaborate opening address admitted that the results of the _ society were at present apparently small ; but he insisted , with justice , upon the large field that had been opened for extensive ^ operations . The venerable nation with

The conferences at Zurich still drag on their slow . length , and we are now informed that the point difficult of arrangement is the proportion of the Lombard debt which is to be borne ^ by Piedmont—the Austrian demands are exorbitant , and resisted by Victor Emmanuel , whose side in this matter is taken by France—tBe latter power proposing arbitration by a third State . An ugly rumour is in circulation with regard to these same conferences ; the French Government , it is said , demands that the arrears of the pensions of the Monte Napoleone , which was instituted in the
Henry Brougham has delighted the another of those orations , masterly in arrangement and diction , and pregnant with learning and wisdom , in which from time to time he pours forth the treasures of his mighty intellect . His speech comprised a view of the state of the infant Association , aud of the progress of modem science , all the discoveries of which received their meed of praise in eloquent and even poetic language ; but the most important part of his address * was devoted to the glory of the free constitution of these realms , and to a condemnation
year 1815 , for the purpose of supplying annuities to certain dignitaries of the French Empire—and also the cost of the late Italian campaign—shall be included in the settlement of the debt between Austria and Piedmont ; and it is added that , as security for the fulfilment of these demands , there is a possibility of the annexation of the ancient province of Savoy to the Empire of France—a report which , for the sake of the peace of Europe , is unfounded . Meanwhile Victor Emrnannuel appeal's to increase daily in popularity throughout his new and old dominions , and
of the abuses which disfigure it . Of his remarks upon electoral corruption , it may well be said that seldom have more earnest dcimnciations of infamy , or more admirably dealt blows against hypocrisy and bribery been poured forth without exaggeration or bad taste ; and his remarks upon the strikes among workmen , and unlawful combinations , show how far his mature wisdom is from encouraging popular cries or delusive doctrines . siorus ui bijj cukv

We learn that the resources of his newly-founded kingdom are so well developed already as to onablo him if necessary to take the field at the bond of 150 , 000 of the finest troops in Europe , with reserves which would enable him to resist any attempt on the part of an invader with good hope of success . Events seem to bo hastening to a crisis ; and in a spirited order of the day we find the gallant Garibaldi speaking of the imminence of a oollieion with the enemies of his country , ' and expressing his reliance . updn the brave men whom he commands to meet any emergency that
