deJlare themselves unwilling to belong to
their congregations ? And he begged Ministers
to present a bill for providing proof of the
civil state of those persons who might not wish
to enrol . themselves under any of the religions
now recognised by the State. M. Valerio
then related a story of a certain advocate in
Savoy (a disciple of Rosseau), who did not
wish his child to be baptised, in order that he might
be free to choose a religion when he arrived at ma-
ture age, and who presented himself to the cure of
his parish for the purpose of registering the birth of
the infant, The cure, nothing doubting, and think-
ing that afterwards they would proceed to the
ceremony of baptism, inscribed the names of the
father and mother, and even, in anticipation, of
the child itself; but afterwards, when the father
declared that he was content with the registration
of birth, and that he did not wish the child to be
baptised, the cure exclaimed that in that case he
Could not inscribe it in the register, and tore out
the record which he had already written.

M Ratazzi replied that the Cute had acted quite
right, and could not have done otherwise than he
did, because he was only allowed to register
Catholics. For the rest -the advocate might have
presented himself to the Mayor of the Commune,'
who by an article of the Communal Law, is obliged
to receive the dedir3tions of births of children
whose fathers do not profess any of the'religions—
recognised by the state. The conversation then,
terminated.
