Marshal Niel, the Ministt:r of War, has addt essea
letter to Marshal M'Mahon. in reply to the lathe' 's de-
spatch of the *.!:trd April, relative to the pastoral letter of
the .Irchbishop of Algiers. Marshal Niel says that the
Emperor has by no means modified his opinions with
regard to liberty of conscience which his Majesty desires
should be accorded in its fullest extent to the Mussulmen
of Algeria. The Minister of War expresses approval of
Marshal Mllahods despatch, and :Ada that it is neces-
sary that when public and private charity come forward
to give assistance to the star ving population of Algeria,
any supposition that the government gives way to a desire
for religious propagandisui should be carefu:ly avoided.
The .11.,nit,,ir ds l'Alm ria qualifies as ridiculous a report
whirl: has been current that the aLchbishop has been

filed.
In teelay'e sitting of the Legislative Body, the debate
upon the interpellation relative to free ttade was re-
aamed. Forcade la Roquette, the Minister of Com-
merce. replying to the speech of M. Thies, expressed
his regret that political recriminations should be mix. d up
with v emnercial topics, and said It is advisable not
to aggravate the difficulties of the present by denuncia-
tions of the past. On the other side of the Rhine there
are also persons who endeavour to provoke national sus.
cep•Milities by saying that Prussia has gained, but (ler-
ninny has lost by the evacuation of Luxem-
burg and of Mantua. Let history be the judge
of these events, while we endeavour to insure peace
ty e-neil;ation. As regards political traditions. England
fires• lf..:esFite her traditional policy. allowed the Hane-
y-Han dynasty to fall. It is not by sowing resentment
th.tt we can put a stop to commercial crises. The
goven.,ent a ill recover its freedom of action in bill. It
w:11 net draw back, nor will it follow those who wish to
r..lvence too impati.ntly, but will maint lin the tariffs in
their uresent position. The govninstit and the Chain-
bee will not be divided upon this question any mole than
upon any other. They were both elected Ly universal
suffrage, and they sell always devoto themselves simul-
taneously not to individu.d ieterests, as formerly, but to
the general iseere.ts of the country. The click is now
diaapp'cring, and France, which has jest applauded the
words of conmience uttered at Orleans, should see in
those words the true definition of the present situation."
