IMPRESS FROM PARIS

(nom ova own ooi

PARIS. TIC IDLY EVEKINO.

The proposition of M. Oudroult, that the French
bishops should meet in a national council to pro- ,
test against the Encyclical and renew the declara-
tion of 1682, is the subject of some very sensible
remarks by M. Nefftzer in the Temps. It is true
enough that the present crisis is far more serious
than that which provoked the meeting in Louis
XlV.'s time, which voted the resolutions drawn
up by Baguet. But there is the capital difference
that in 1682 an ecclesiastical assembly enjoyed a
prestige which it would have now. In spite of
many vices, the old French clergy was naturally
independent, for it did not receive government
pay. To-day the clergy are little better
than government functionaries, and, at any
rate, can hold no national and metropolitan
council, no diocesan synod, no public meeting,
without the express permission of the government
Such being the situation of the French clergy, its
protest, supposing it could be got to make one,
would have uo force or authority against Rome in
the eyes of the faithful. According to the Temps,
the difference between a clergy dependent on and
one independent of the state is forcibly illustrated
by the contrast between 1682 and 1865. Then an
independent clergy was able to show itself firm
towards the Court of Rome, and at the same
time pliable to the civil government, without
losing caste and consideration ; now a depen-
dent clergy is for the most part ultra-
montanist, for the reason that, if it were to
side with the state it would be considered servile
and lose the esteem of its flocks. The abolition ul
the anomalous concordat, the entire separation of
church and state, is the aim of the Temps' argu-
ments. As things stand, it is of opinion that M.
Baroche, by prohibiting the Encyclical, has done a
great service to those bishops who, as Frenchmen,
would have been sorry to have adopted it, but as
churchmen could scarcely do otherwise. This view
is borne out by the assertion of the independonce
that the government originally intended to let the
bishops say what they like, but that, on the suppli-
cation of a minority of them, M. Baroche was
good enough to save them from themselves.
It is a singular circumstance, and one which the
ultramontanist clergy will certainly not fail to put
• miraculous construction upon, that M. Baroche
had a paralytic attack in his right arm shortly after
he signed the circular against the Encyclical ; he
now carries his arm in • sling. _ . .

M. Louis Blanc, writing to the Temps his im-
pression of the effect produced in London by the
Encyclical, describes it as a mixed feeling of won-
derment and joy—of wonderment at the folly of the
act, and of joy because it is suicidal. It is mum-
goons to attack a strong man, but only on the
supposition that you are aware of his strength ;
it is line to die upstanding, if you have the conscious-
ness you are dying. But the Pope's intrepidity
proceeds from sheer blindness and fatuitous vanity.
For this reason it is that no sentiment of veneration
_ .

- _
or even indignation mingles with the laughter and
contemptuous pity with which protestant England
reads the senile curses of the Vatican. By the
Encyclical the Pope has immensely curtailed the
area of his own dominion. M. L. Blanc, if asked
to define the document, would use a neolo-
gism and call it the " Decatholisation of the
Papacy." He believes it will stay the catholic wove-
merit which was going on in England, by shaking
off all those men who dreamt that it was possible
to build a bridge between the Vatican and the
modern world. Those men are now in this cruel
position, that they must either be dragged through
the mire by the Pope to the gulf of absurdity, or
abjectly repudiate every thing that they have
hitherto held to be good, reasonable, and true.
They must in some sort MOM to be men, or they
must become heretics. Many would have given
up to Rome a part of their reason who will not
resign it altogether. The Encyclical is the charter '
of emancipation of consciences.
An affair of honour between M. Ani6d6e de
C6sena, of the Pays, and M. Janioot, of the
Gazette de France, has terminated without blood-
shed. The quarrel was in this wise :---The go-
vernment writer called the legitimist Janicot a
harlequin. Thereupon Janioot said M. de Cdeena
would be wise to remember that harlequin carried
• wand, the office of which was to chastise the
clown. Hence the challenge. An account of the
duel was anxiously looked for in the evening
papers. But a paragraph, signed by M. Janicot,
in the Gazette de France, announces that without
modifying the general effect of the article com-
plained of he withdraws so much of it as M. de
Gismo considers personally offensive.
