Whatever truth there may be in the news of a
pewmable term'nation of the difference between
Spain and Morocco, there semi to be no doubt that
France has der:intoned upon a very serious cam-
paign. The following are extrash from in order of

The Bourse was dull all day. The impression
(which, as it turns out, was incorrect) prevailed
that the Emperor would make no speech at Bor-

account, closing at 69fr. 60c., and 69fr. ittic. Mo-
bilise fell lfr. 25c. Railways were rather better.
Orleans rose 6fr.; Lyons, lfr. 25e. ; and Southern

The Press, says, in its weekly commercial
review :

These le maws promise of an impromensat in commercial
affairs. The Parts umaufmturen are noels :mg some f.sr
orders, though el no great magnitude, and counnimise
regents are mow showing themselves. Boom orders ham

New Trek we lam that badness there is more
salve, eel fiat the America's may awn be expected to
appear ee perchance in our markets. Thin news will be
partlealarly welcome at Lyons, which has been suffuing
for mescal months from the absence of orders from the
Uoitcd State.. The extraordinarily hot weather during the
first week of October hurt the sale of winter goods in the
atom. The wholesale houses have, however, been buying
to • considerable extent at Amiens, Roubaix, Rosen, and
Mulhouse. There has been a very &clad rim in tagara.
Coffees are oleo rising, I. consequence of the lowness of
stocks. ♦ very serious failure at Bordeaux has cast a gloom
ever the mr•ket. The rite in cereals which we Both ed last
week has not made any further progress. Prices were eves
somewhat lower at the Halle bet Wedneedsy. The ant
samples of sew wine which have appeared at Berry are by
no means good. The vintage la many pieces took pleas
dories the beery rains of the end of September, and in such
cams the quality of the wine wee neoestarily deteriorated.
Prices are very arm, and some large sprenktire purchases

M. ABOUT AND THE FRENCH BISHOPS.

M. About having been personally attacked by the
Bishop of Orleans on account of his celebrated book
" La Question Romaine," replies to the prelate as
follows in the columns of the °pitiless Regional* :

Bcklitttabscb, Oct. 8.

Honasigneur,—l am living with my mother in a retired
oottage in the department a the Bas Ithin. No scandalous
journals penetrate into our retreat. Consequently I co not
ass the tigaro or the Uniotre, or the political +sondem/Os
of the bishops. But an inhabitant of Savers' who takes an
fatalist In me and does not like to see me Insulted, yesterday
sent me a copy of your pamphlet. You, enonsei‘Jeor, are a
liberal. You formerly de eeded freedom of inst roe ion, or at any
rate what the French clergy call by that name. You tolerate the
clissic author., and you have a little seminary of your own
In which you have Greek tragedies played. You
opposed M. Venillot with a courage Dot commonly found
among men of your cloth, and you only bowed to that great
genius when the Pope took his pert against you. Yon
now, monseigneur, defend the liberty of the premi—
um, more, you boldly and openly practice it, with
that manly pride which is festered In heroes of the
long robe by the certainty of Impunity. In forn.er
days a mandate was a little episcopal gazette, treating
anger, butter, and cheese, Gad other comentiblia lawful to
be eaten in Lent. You have traneformed the manilas
into a political journal, and you evade the stamp duty
and the caution money to which ordinary journals are suo-
looted. Secured by your sacred character against the rigours
of the cwreciimal police, you declare war upon your former
sovereign and our faithfal ally the King of Sardinia. You
make no account of the government which found you a
Savoyard and made you a Frenchman, from a priest turned
you to a bishop, and now pays you a 'glary for your ser-
vices. You post your diatribes upon walla belonging to the
state, you cause them to be read from the pulpit by pub-
lic functionaries receiving state pay ; and the prince, who
hes j oat granted ■n amnesty to his political 01100161., deigns
to allow your small Insurrection to evjoy an apparent
triumph. There were two good resume why you should
have kept wiener—since you were born under the sceptre of
the King of Sardinia, and yes are now living in the French
Empire. Is it conceivable that your eockeriastical habit ma
have enfranchised you from t►e alleglasee due to both your
legitimate sovereigns, and mode yea the subject of a petty
foreign prince ? Do not suppose, monaeigacur, that any per-
sonal ranc rue prompts these observations. You have
Ill-
treated me, it is true, but in such good company that I am
truly too much honoured by your attacks. I atoll be moat
happy to remain to the end of my days In the category in
which you have classed me by the side of the King of Sar-
dinia and the glorious chiefs of the Italian revolution.
I even cootie. between ourselves, that I did not
think my advocacy of the cause of an oppressed
people wee worthy of such a glorious recompense. Perhaps
you would have done better to have spoken in more ortuteoun
terms of a literary man and a gentleman. For only to sup-
pose such a wiifortuns as that fittest or twenty yam hence
you should find me on the next bench to you in the French
Academy, you would be freed either to leave your seat or
to admit that you bad gone a little too far. But religious
polemics bare their peculiar customs. The Instrumeuta of
torture which religion no longer dares to we ie practice it
import., as far as precricable, into its language. The *erred
fire of the inquisition now burns only In the eloquence of
men. I woe made to feel it in the first mandate—l mean
the first article—of your new framed, M. Veuillot. When
I was told that this Fire Harbours of the church had
declared war upon me, I expected to have some forniideble
misrules to meet. I buckled on my bust logical and his-
toric armour. How Dimple wee I H. Veuillot merely
intultid me as you hem done, mon-eigneor, sod In
d.n•.unced toy book to the police. For it le easier to ruin as
editor than to ruin an istossent ; there is so reply so bre-

futable sa . seizure. According to law, I might, ru.n.
imigliner, require you to insert this, my .tower, in ),,y
I Malt ntligber—l mean your nest mandate. But I will not
' be lem muffing; I am satisfied with being in the right.
respectfully kiss your pastoral ring. and humbly bow, mon.
seigneur, to the emceed character with which 3012 are
invested.
