The govenuntat is seeking to attenuate Y much
as possible in favour of the church, the effect of the
very trenchant decision of the Council of Stati
against the Bishop of Moulins, and to deprive the
supporters of the " Galilean liberties" which the de-
cree purports to vindicate, of any cause for
triumphant gratulation.
The Petrie is anxious to state that the present
Emperor desires earnestly to carry. out the policy of
Napoleon 1., " who reconciled society with God,
and New France with the Pope, hie representative

upon earth." It Is hinted that a new
tribunal is to be created for the 4ecision of eccle-
siastical questions, which tribunal is to decide
them in the name of the bishop, and them give to its
judgments a canonical and legal force at the mine
time. It seems that in 1849 M. de Fallon, the re-
cently elected academician, who was • Catholic
statesman par a:reliance, opened negotiations with
Rome with a view to an agreement for a mixed
tribunal of this kind, judging in the name of the
church and with the authority of the law. There
is • talk of resuming this negotiation. The Patna,
still acting as the advocate of the church, says that
the main abuse of which the Bishop of Moulins was
found guilty was not, as the Vela supposes,
the fact of his having adopted a statute
of a provincial council of gees, prohibiting the clergy
from appealing to the secular power in matters ec-
clesiastical, but became he bad eaperadded to the
decree of the council the expression," even for things
within the oompetence of the secular courts." The
inference sought to be established is that the: pro-
vincial councils me not acting illegally when they
excommunicate, ipso facto, all clergymen appealing
to the secular courts, so long as they leave it con-
veniently doubtful what are matters exclusively
ecclesiastics/. •

The Ronnie opeinctl somewhat better to-day, but
was again depressed at the clone, in consequence of
a report that the Bank of France will to-marrow
limit its discounts to seventy-live days. However,
this report, warmly reconcileable with the favour-
able rumours which have transpired of the state et
the Bank accounts, is very mach questioned. Ile
Rente fell 20e. for account, closing at 69tr. 10c., and
rose 15e. for cash, closing at &Mr. 96e. Mobilier fell
