M. Gouin, the banker, who has been chosen by
the Corps Legialatif reporter on the bill for the
conversion of the Four-and-a-Half per Cents., is
esteemed a great authority on financial matters,
and inasmuch as he took a leading part in criticis►ng
the budget last year, his nomination is, to a certain
extent, a guarantee for an independent considers-
' tion of the measure. _ _ .

There is, I believe, little doubt that the two new
members of the French Academy will be the
Prince de Broglie and M. Octave Feuiilet. Many
people think that one De Broglie in the Academy
is enough—the duke, the prince's father, is there
already—nevertheless, the influence of this family
defies competition.
The Phials has the following observations on the
proposed gathering of bishops at Rome :
There is, perhaps, some reason to wonder why such a spec-
tacle is the SlMAlllbling of all the bishops of the catholic
world was never seen before in honour of martyrs not lees
illustrious than those now to be canonised; but the court of
Rome his, no doubt, its reasons for what it is doing. Pos-
sibly, without suspecting it, we may find an ammonia
imunall which will proclaim the immaculate temporal power
as an article of faith. Hitherto that power has not taken
rank as a dogma, but the court of Rome probably thinks it
should now do so. In point of fact, this omiveeatiou is evi-
dently a pretext to agitate the church and the public ; the
court of Rome is eedeavouring to compromise the entire epis-
copacy in the struggle which it is carrying on against the fun-
damental principles of modem society. But what would
become of this manifestation if the French government,
against which it is in a great degree directed, were to with-
draw its troops from Rome
The Opinion Nationale says, on the same sub-
ject :
The Pope wants to obtain a collective adhesion from the
episcopacy, in order to weigh upon the decisions of govern-

at it, because the blind obstinacy of ultramontaniana, in

Even at Vienna the opinion is publicly expressed
that the diplomatic correspondence with the court

It Is universally believed here that the Pope had
an epileptic fit last Thursday. He is better again,
but these fits are of somewhat frequent occurrence,
notwithstanding Mr. Maguire's statement that he
was miraculously cured of them before entering the
priesthood. His most alarming disease, however,
in an aneurism of the heart, to which eve added
varicose veins in one of his legs, frequently be-
coming so inflamed as to give his physicians much
trouble. It is a piteous thing to hear the specula-
tions on the natural decay of a poor old man assume
the tone they have inevitably done, sines it has
been clearly seen that his life is the great obstacle
in the way of a nation's progress, and that his death
will be the signal fur the struggle (whether suc-
cessful or otherwise) to bring in a new order of

The following is the circular issued for the con.
vocation of the great meeting of bishops at Whit-
suntide. It will be observed that the Pope
describes the occasion as one which, under onli.
nary circumstances, would only call for the pre-
sence of the Italian bishops, but Monsignor takes
advantage of the thraldom under which he assumes
them to be to summon the entire body of prelates
of the catholic world •

It is certainly a popular delusion of the Miele,
mind which persists in considering the Italians as a
hot-blooded and impulsive race. On the contrary,
there is no nation on earth (certainly none of Anglo-
Saxon lineage) which would submit fora week to
the curb and whip of such tyrants as they have
known, and yet continue to display the same calm-
ness and caution in the expression of resentment.
Assuming (as I suppose is only right) that this
self-restraint is the result of true wisdom, and that
it covers a stern resolution to attain freedom the
moment it becomes humanly attainable, it is yet
an astonishing sight. No wonder that "prudence"
