POSTSCRIPT.
IN the House of Lords, last night, the Earl of Fri.varnonotrarr asked the Under Secretary. of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Govern- ment were engaged in a correspondence with the view of reconciling the spiritual independence of the See of Rome with the exercise of the temporal sovereignty, within the Roman territory, by the King of Italy. Lord WODEROUSE replied that the Government have not yet en- gaged in any such correspondence, and expressed the opinion that the less a Protestant country interfered in the Roman question, the greater would be the probability of arriving at a satisfactory solution of the difficulty. The Earl of CLARENDON and the Earl of DERBY spoke i at great length upon the subject, and expressed a general concurrence n the principle of non-interference asserted by Lord Wodehonse. In the House of Commons, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in answer to a question from Mr. BAILLIE COCHRANE, stated that the Government had not recent] received any papers relative to the events which had taken place at Warsaw, and that it would not be to the interest of the public service to produce those which were already in its possession.
