OUR PARIS LETTER.

(nom ma OWN COIIIISPONDINT.)
PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

Marshal MacMahon, Duke of Magenta, Governor
General of Algeria, made • speech in the Senate
yesterday on the bill for granting two millions of
franca towards the relief of the distress in that
colony, which was naturally eagerly listened to in
consequence of the high rank of the speaker, the
esteem in which he is generally held, and his un-
rivalled sources of information.

Great applause followed the speech. After s
few remarks from Cardinal Donnet, Archbishop of
Bordeaux, who thought the subsidy very inade-
quate, the bill was voted newt. con. in the consti-
tutional form—namely, that the Senate did not
oppose its promulgation.

M. (]reeler, who was the reporter on the Army
Bill, is named reporter on the budget. It is
rumoured that he is by no means inclined to pass
M. Magne's estimates with a carte bkstiche.
The Sport says the Emperor intends shortly to
pay a visit to his cousin, the Princess Baciocchi,
who is now convalescent, at her farm in Brittany,
after the sad accident which broke her leg. In
this case the Emperor will pass a few hours at
Rennes.

The Bourse was considerably agitated by a
rumour that the coming loan, the emission of
which has been so unaccountably postponed, will
be 760 millions, instead of the 450 originally an-
nonsesd. It is said that the budget committee is
of opinion that the smaller sum is quite roadsl
gnat* to meet existing difficulties. Rent* fell 25c.
for cash and 160. for account, doming at 09fr. in
each case. Italian fell 20c. ; Credit Fonder,
Mr. 20c. ; and Comptoir d'Esoompte, 2fr. 50c.
hiobilier dosed without change, but railways were
all considerably lower.

may be the issue forced by the emergency of the time
on those who have to deal with the Irish church, end
viewing it merely as an isolated problem, it must he
remembered that the question of the connection
separation of church and state is not of neceenty
involved in it. When sixty or seventy years ago, Ike
difficulty of the Irish establishment first arose. a
presented itself under the form of endowing and
the Roman catholic church by the side a
is the of the protestant church. The notion of
parting with the benefits of the established chervil
al had not then become one of the elements of
discussion. This his been introduced into the question
partly, no doubt, by the external action of the English
liberation:Me, partly also by the difficulties thrown m
the way of such a scheme by the Roman catholic"
themselves. It may be that the combined forces of
these two streams will be too powerful to resist. But II
la worth while remarking that dispaseionate observers
seem generally agreed in considering that, if met a solu-
tion is adopted, it will be not u the best, but 33 the all
one which existing circumstances will allow—per*,
es
in itself the worst, except for the pressure of thee
practical difficulties. It ia probably admitted on 211
sides that, on the one hand, the dependence of the
Roman catholic clang on their flocks for subsistence.
and on a foreign prince for dignity and rank, which no
forms the worst feature of the Irish eccledoticsi
system in the eyes of all reasonable men, would remain
undiminished. In so other country in Europe hoe
the Raman eatholio clergy refused the endowment
and control of the State. No other government in Europe
Roman catholic or protestant, would willingly lose cud
an opportunity of guarding and guiding so powerful is
element in the national life. And, on the other hal
