Ittterateura is made up. M. Prondhon does not profess
Christianity. M. Dronyn de Lhuys believes in trans.
migration of souls, and other theories held by French
dreamers, which are in direct opposition to all the catholic
dogmas. The majority who rejected Jules Favre's motion
for the ev►cuation of Rome are Voltaireans. M. Guizot,
who represents the temporal power at the Institute, is a
protestant of the evangelical schooL M. Cohen, the prin-
cipal rrdarteur of La France, is a Jew, and although he
says in the columns of that journal that the papacy is the
great comet vative principle of modern society—in short,
the salt of the earth—goes every Saturday to the synagogue,
and is u scrupulous an observer as he can well be of the law
of Moses and the ordinances of the rabbis."
