PARIS, SEPT 2.

The Constitutionnel of this morning contains an
article, signed by M. Paulin Limayrac, reviewing
the language used by M.M. Rouher, Rouland, and
Behic, at the opening of the Councils General. The
writer says—" In view of these manifestations
of the ideas of the Government who can deny to the
Empire the spirit of progress and initiative. In a
restricted sphere of a department as in the wider
sphere of a State we find the Imperial policy
animated by the desire of most completely and
surely developing principles in which we discover
the same thought of giving to France all the bene-
fits of progress and saving her from all excesses of
revolution."

THE CONGRESS AT MARINES.
(FROU OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.)
The meetings of the sections of the Congress
were resumed yesterday at nine a.m., and on visit-
ing again the fifth section, which had hitherto
been busy with the questions relating to the press,
I found that the members had proceeded to the
part of their programme which related to religious
freedom in general, and the right of Catholics to
have separate cemeteries in particular. It is truly
scandalous that in a Catholic country, the men in
pcwer from mere irreligious feeling should hinder
their religious countrymen from enjoying one of the
earliest and dearest advantages which Christians ever
possessed, that of being buried in consecrated
ground. Still I found that funeral subject treated
in so funeral a manner by the local speakers, that
I sought out the hall where the fourth section on
Christian Art wis assembled, and heard there a
discussion on Church decoration, in which, although
a great deal of amateur talk took place, still we
had the great advantage of hearing speak with
the same ability on that subject as he does on poli
tical matters, Herr Augustus Iteichensperger, the
representative of Cologne in the Prussian Parlia-
ment, and the leader therein of the Catholic

rTt,- o.‘tbr

drat of Amiens were severely criticized by
M. Bordeaux, a well-known writer on Christian art.
The meeting of the sections ended at twelve, after
which the greater part of the French visitors went
in a body to the Archbishop's palace, to pay a visit
to their illustrious countryman, M. Dupanloup.
At 3 p,m. the general meeting began, and the
hall, capable of containing 4,000 persons, was filled
to overflowing to listen to the Bishop of Orleans,
who was announced to speak. Several well-known
personages were applauded as they entered to take
their seats, and especially General Delanoy, a recent
victim of the literal Government of Belgium, hav-
ing been placed on the retiring list for having pre-
sumed to stand as a candidate of the opposition.
The celebrated French Jesuit preacher, Pere Felix,
was loudly cheered.
After several announcements made by the Secre-
tary-General, M. Ducpetiaux, the Cardinal and
Bishops entered the hall. The whole of the Belgian
episcopate was there present. M. Ducpetianx
communicated to the assembly the answer to the
telegram sent to Cardinal Antonelli, acd trans-
mitted by him to his Holiness at Castel Fidardo.
The Holy Father, trusting in the spirit of good-
will and rectitude of intention of the Congress,
bestows upon its memters the Apostolic blessing
they have asked.
The Bishop of ORLEANS then ascended the/plat-
form, end began his long address standing
in front of it, sitting down after his exore
dium, and resuming the standing attitude
towards the end. His fine, tall, and venerable ap-
pearance was greatly heightened by his purple
ecclesiastical dress, consisting of cassock and cloak.
His address was admirably delivered in a fine clear
voice, and a most appropriate mixture of calm and
energy, and lasted during the whole of the time
alloted to the meeting, concluding at a quarter to
six, having lasted two hours and a half,
heari with-
out the least flagging in the interest of the hearers
or the powers of the orator. " I should have a heart
of ice," he said, "not to feel the flame which burns in
your hearts, not to be moved at the generous beating

tion of missionaries who die the death of martyrdom
from pestilential climate, to rescue the Africans from
the darkness of paganism, was once met in the
streets of Paris by a man who raised his hand against
him, saying, " Priest ! oh, if you knew how I hate
you." "Friend," answered the priest, if you
knew how I love you, for Christ's sake." These
words struck the man so that he embraced the
priest, and in that sacerdotal embrace his heart
was changed, and he became converted. I
