PARA SATUIDAT Emma,
The Cosshintionviel having stated, by way of
justification of Professor Renan's suspension, that
he had pledged his honour to the Minister of Public
Instruction not to transgress the programme
chalked out for his lectures, IL Renan has addressed
the following letter to that journal, which, how-
ever, is not inserted in its number of this morning :
Par* Feb. 10

You lay in your number of this morning, that "is em
apt* the Hebrew peolemarship at the College of ham*
I engaged myself upon my honour not to depart from the
programme traced out by the Minister of Public Instruction"
in the report which accompanied my nomination. That amaer•
tion altopthererroneous. The Mintstar of Public Instruction
in too well aware of the duties of a Mend admini►tration to
have made any such conditions with EIS ; and he is too well
acquainted with my character to Flippo*. that I would have
accepted any conditions whatever. The report of the
Minister of Public Instruction which accompanied my nomi•
nation we. not communicated to me before its publication
in the Moniteur. In the course of • convention which I
had the honour to have with the minister, we agreed on this
point, that the chair of "the Hebrew, Chaldaic, and Syriac
languages" in the Collage of France was • " Monti&
and sot • theological chair." The minister having
ermiessd • donee that this idea should be the
basis of • report to the Emperor, it was &rouged
that I should submit to him abaft report on that footing.
My draft diffen ementially from that which the minister
thought fit to send in. I espsenl)reser►ed the right of the
professor to treat freely, is as historical, literary, and philo-
logical point of view, of all the religious questions which
might arise in the noun of the lectures. My draft; with
winch I contend that my first lecture wee in perfect har-
mony, constitutes the only engagement which I entered
into.—Aotept, he., Ems? EMAIL

Mires' appeal against the decree of the Chamber
of Commerce appointing official assignees for wind-
ing up the company of the Cause Go" Meek des Che-
mint de Fer, was this morning dismissed by the lin-
Couri, presided over by the First President
Devienne.
' Colonel Mac Sheehy, one of the editors of the
leotititniat and ultramontane journal, the Union, a
gentleman of Irish parentage, 78 years old, was
found guilty to-day of a political libel, and sent
fenced to two months' imprisonment and a fine of
2,000 f. A brother editor, M. Laurentie, shares a
like fate, and the printer is fined 500 f. The law
interdicts any report of the trial.
A warning (the 2nd) has been given to La Prance
Centrals, a journal of the Loin-et-Cher, for • a cor-
respondence from Paris " propagating false news,
,and endeavouring to excite hatred and contempt of
the government.'
I have to report another moat regrettable and un-
accountable reactionary step of the government.
'M. Eugene Pelletau'e interesting lectures in the
Rue de la Pair, on the painting and literature of
the Renaissance, have been interdicted.
There was a frightful panic at the Bourse to-day.
The bulls, who retied upon the " banking syndi-
cate" to keep up prices, Lave been woefully taken
in. The settlement is perfectly disastrous. Some
people say this lamentable result is only to be attri-
buted to the " state of the account," and no doubt
the artificial high prices of the beginning of the
Booth are now followed by a Nemesia which might
rationally have been expected. But the conflict
between the Emperor end the Corps Legislatif on
the Count Palikao Dotation Bill has beyond ques-
tion weighed heavily on the market.

THE DEBATE IN THE SENATE.
The debate was continued on Saturday. Cardinal
Dounetobjected to the phrase in the address cen-
suring the 4‘ resistance and immobility " of the
Holy See. He defended the conduct of the Pon-
tiff, who brought over to his side heaven and the
world by refusing to sanction any agreement which
would subordinate right to violence. The speaker
demanded that the paragraph should be sent back
to the committee for modatication.

Prince Napoleon said he did not desire, any more
than the speakers who had preceded him, to en-
venom the debate, but he wished to be as clear and
precise as they had been vague and inconclusive
Bonjean, in his history of the temporal power,
had propounded premises which did not bear oat
his conclusions. Re spoke of a Pope reigning and
not governing, but that was a bastard vicariat
which the Pope would not accept, for he refused
even to discuss the question. M. de la (Induces-
'Aire had made a very ornate and elegant speech,
but be had
.proposed no solution. But it was
essential to bring to an end this Roman question,
with which public opinion was tired, and when
once a positive decision was taken on that question,
the religious agitation in the country, which was
more factitious than real, would cease. Two dif-
ferent lines of policy were in presence. It was
necessary to choose between them, and to be pre-
pared to swept the blame which might follow the
*ours. adopted. Re was for withdrawing the '
French army from Rome. Without that the question
would not advance a step. Centuries might roll
on, but the court of Rome would never change.
As long as Rome had nothing to fear, she never
made any concession. Sue does not, of course, ex-
port that we shall re-conquer for her the territory
which she has lost ; she knows that she cannot regain
it herself. But she watches thef uturto ; she hopes that
disturbances may arise, in the course of which a
foreign army, after having beaten Italy and possibly
France, may restore her immersions. That is her
aim and her hope. The Primes then read several
diplomatic papers and official documents, extending
from 1669 to the present day, and showing that
the temporal government of the Pope was always a
deplorably bad MO. He cited the celebrated letter
of the Einperce to Colonelßilgar Ney, in 1849, and
warmly eulogised the programme contained in that
letter. But to all the counsels iu that letter, and
those of similar import subsequently offered, the
court of Rome had invariably answered Non pos-
-81471114/. After having shown with what moderation
and prudence the Italians bad practised their newly-
conquered liberty, he insisted strongly upon the
necessity of the unity of Italy, and the impossi-
bility of 'aocotnplishitig it without Rome for the
capital. Be lamented the position of the brave
French soldiets, obliged to defend a government
evidently hostile to the Emperor, and concluded by
demanding the immediate evacuation of Rome,
with a guarantee fur the complete financial and
spiritual independence of the Holy Father.
The Marque de Boissy inquired whether the
government would not think it necessary to reply
at once to a speech which would certainly be re-
produoed by all the journals I
M. Billault said that the government would dis-
cuss the question fully at another moment, but that
for the present be could say that theta was nothing
common between the policy of the government and
that advocated by the Prince, so far as regarded
the object immediately indicated.
