FARA WinaaiDAT IMMINO.

Some astonishment has been felt at the announce-
ment, at a time when the Pope is on such bad
terms with the state, that three fervent catholic',
MM. A. de Broglie, Cochin, and Albert Gigot,
should have obtained leave to deliver public lectures
—a favour never granted without much difficulty.
The explanation is that these gentlemen repre-
sented to the ministry that when various free-
thinkers, philosophers, and journalists were al-
lowed to lecture in different quarters of Paris, it
was hard that " catholic' " (that is the designation
the ultramontanista love to give themselves)
should be denied the like facilities. This
plea was thought too specious not to be
listened to, and, accordingly, the desired authurisa-
tion has been given, but upon the express condi-
tion that thee three zealous public instructors are

neither to talk " religion" nor " politics." Under
these circumstances It is presumable that they will
neither lecture often nor to large, audiences. The
report that M. Deemarest, the batonnier, had been
refused leave to lecture is contradicted, be not hav-
ing asked leave. It was in the evening papers last
night that M. C. Sanvestre, of the Opinion Nationak,
had wade an unsuccessful application. This news
was true when printed, but at 5 in the after-
noon M. Sauvestre received his permission, and
the lecture was delivered in the Rue de la Pais.
The Opinion compliments M. Duruy on his liberal
spirit.
The Bishop of Caroassone and the Archbishop of
Tours are to be added to the list of prelates who
have protested in writing against the prohibition
to promulgate the Encyclical. The archbishop,
though lees bold in act than the Bishop of Moulins,
speaks in precisely the same tone. He concludes
his letter to the Minister of Public Worship by
saying that, whatever may happen, the instruc-
tions of the Vicar of Jesus Christ will always
be the sacred and inviolable rule of the conduct
of the catholic clergy, from which they can
never depart without ceasing to be catholics.
This language is echoed this morning by an uncom-
promising article in the Monde, of which the Con-
stitutionnet says that it plainly condemns "the whole
of that group of astholics calling themselves liberal,
at the head of which are MM. de Fallon:, de Mont-
alembert, and Albert de Broglie."
A Marseilles journal says that negotiations are
going on for the cession by Portugal to France of
one of the Cape de Verd islands, witch the latter
power wants as a station on the way to Senegal.
The Patric contains another paragraph atte-
nuating M. Fould's announcement that savings
were to be made in the marine budget. No con-
siderations of economy are to " delay the con-
struction of our fighting fleet, which is to go on
conformably to previous estimates ; the iron-clad
ships now on the stocks are also to be launched as
soon as possible, and those already launched will
be completed and armed without delay."
The Bourse continues heavy. The more M. Fould's
financial statement is discussed the less it seems to
be liked. The Pays, in an article written in its

favour, admits that there is much " confusion "
about it in the public mind, and that the " leading

characteristic" of the situation—i.e., "the period of
transition, during which the financial reform was
impeded by anterior engagements"—does not seem to
be sufficiently understood. It admits also, though
it thinks them wrong, that many people had been
led to expect a more brilliant result by the few lines
published in the lolosiitear some days ago. The
Rente fell sc. for cash and Inci. foe amount, closing
at 86fr. 860. and 66fr. 900. Mobilier fell 2fr. 60c.
There was little change in railways.
