The Correspoturant has received a warning from
the Minister of the Interior, in the person of its
gerant, M. Donnie', and the Count de Montalembert,
the writer of the incriminated article, which is de-
clared to be calculated to excite contempt for the
laws and to create discord between the state and the
church. The article in question was published in
the number of the 25th April, and is entitled "De
rAppel comae d'Abus." It expresses an opinion
that the recent judgment of the Council of State
against the Bishop of Moulins is legally right, bat
that Napoleon l.'s Concordat, which the present
Emperor refused to modify, is incompatible with the
eights of the Church of Pease.
