The Week.
Papacy . " The Independance publishes a letter written a year ago by JI . De Persigny to the Archbishop of Bordeaux , which contains a violent attack against the temporal power of the Pope . " Not having been able , says JI . De Persigny , for a long time past to govern its little stateunless Italy was under the yoke of Austria or of France , the temporal government finds itself smitten with powerlessness before every eye . The French occupation of Rome is characterised in terms equally
remarkable . " It is , " says JI . De Persigny , " a strange situation , for while on the one hand the interest of France requires thafc Italy should govern herself freely , without our having to spend our money and sacrifice the blood of our children in an odious mission , on the other hand it is the interest of religion that the Pope , whether he exercises or not his temporal power , should be equally independent . " The brigands still show a bold front in Italy . A strong band
of them have just attacked arid worsted a small detachment of the royal troops in the Capitanata . Additional forces were immediately despatched to the spot , and every effort is to be made to suppress these lawless bands . —~ Garibaldi , in pursuance of the advice of his surgeons , has been removed from Spezzia to Pisa . He left Spezzia on Saturday , on board the war ship Moncalieri , and safely- arrived afc Pisa . His general health is good . The Madrid papers of Saturday state that the
representative of Spain in that city has received instructions which , ifc is thought , will lead to a satisfactory settlement of the affair of the Jlontgomery . The Finance Minister has ordered the commencement of the sale of the landed property of the clergy . The Queen is reported to be enceinte . The King has had a fall from his horse and dislocated his arm . His JIajesty is , however , progressing as favourably as could be expected after the accident . The American Jlinister at Madrid has been instructed
by his Government to state that it considers the conduct of the captain of the Montgomery in seizing a neutral vessel in Spanish waters , and insulting the Alcalde , wholly unpardonable ; that ifc is quite ready to inflict punishment upon him should Spain desire it , and is willing to give any reasonable satisfaction which Spain may require , The ex-Queen of Naples , after much solicitation , has , it seems , been persuaded to leave the Ursuline Convent at Munich , and return to her husband . The conditions are thafc
the Queen-Mother shall not live with them , and that the young couple shall have a separate establishment at fche Farnese Palace at Home . From these conditions the cause of the dispute between the Royal pair is as old as it is clear . The revolution in Greece , up to the present time time , is being carried out very quietly . The National Assembly is summoned to meet at the close of the month , when the form of constitution tinder which the country will for the future he governed will he settled . If
a Monarchical Government be chosen , some of the Paris journals assert that it has already arranged between Russia and France that the Dnke of Leuelifcenberg shall be at its head .

The reply to b e given by Denmark to Prussia and Austria on the Schleswig-Holstein question has been settled by the Danish Cabinet , and approved by the King . His
JIajesty , in reply to an address from the Council of the Empire , expressed his entire concurrence in the policy of the Ministry , and his hope that a settlement may yet be obtained . One of the attempts made by political desperadoes to assassinate Russian functionaries in Warsaw has , at length , proved successful . On Sunday afternoon , JI . Telkmer , the head of the secret police of Warsaw , was found dead on a landing in his own house . He had been mortally stabbedand the assassin had likewise cut off
, his ears . The murderer has not been discovered , and it seems probable that his crime will remain unpunished , as his escape will , no doubt , be favoured hy the whole Polish population . The crime has afforded an excuse , if it has not actually given a reason , for the adotion of the most stringent measures to maintain order , and the streets of Warsaw may once more be said to be in the possession of the military . Strong patrols traverse the town in all directions . In some instances the approaches to
points of the city are literally occupied by the military , and over sixty persons have been arrested . For the deed , perhaps , of a solitary assassin , the whole population are doomed to suffer .
