The Moniteur Parisiezz formally contradicts the as-
sertion et the Commerce that the Ropal speech had
been communicated to the diplomatic corps, which had
expressed its approbation of it.
The Ministerial evening organ, in reply to a
question from the National as to the laws by which
the Government had prevented a Radical banquet at
Belleville, states that the authority is derived from those
laws charging the municipal authorities to maintain good
order, the dispositions of which are to be found in the
Police Ordonnance of May 31, 1838.
The Moniteur contains the Royal Ordonnance
appointing M. Antoine Pussy Under S, cretary of
State at the Ministry of the Interior, in place of
M. Leon de Malleville. We announced M. An-
toine Passy's nomination in yesterday's impression,
as it is an important fact, and establishes the accu-
racy of our intelligence that his brother, LL Pussy,
and M. Dufaure intend to give the Soult-Guizot
Cabinet their support, although they are not members
of the Administration. This will have the effect of
securing votes for the Left Centre (Ministerial party.)
In respect to M. Thiers, from his animated tone in the
Salle des CoCcrences, on Wednesday afternoon, it is
concluded that his opposition is intended to be very
strenuous.
" A telegraphic despatch from Lyons, received on
Wednesday," says the Moniteur, " at the Ministry of
the Interior, announces that the rising of the waters had
attained its maximum. The effects have been disastrous.
The bridge of the Mulatiere was carried away."
Count Appony, the Austrian Ambassador ; Baron
d'Arnim, the Prussian Envoy Extraordinary ; Baron
Pappenheinn, Minister of the Grand Duke of Hesse ;
and Count de Thielmansegge, Resident Minister of the
' King of Hanover, presented to the King of the French
from their Savereigns letters of congratulation on the
subject of the attempt of the 15th of October.
The Marseilles and Lyons mails were still overdue
on Thursday at the Post-office.
The Courtier Francais has some absurd allusions to
the dissensions in the French Ministry. It even pub-
lishes a report that Marshal Soult had resigned.
The Debats states that M. de Lamartine had been
received by the King and Queen of the French.
The Siccle formally announces that the Left intend to
propose their chief, M. Odillon Barrot, as President
of the Chamber of Deputies. The Ministerial candi-
date is M. Sauzet. As was stated yesterday, M. Thiers
was not to be put in nomination, as the Extreme Left
and Legitimists refuse to grant him this .. Bill of In-
demnity' for his Ministerial acts.
Madrid papers and letters of the 29th ult. contain
no news of interest except a confirmation of the great
divisions in the Exaltado camp. It appears that
Espartero, Gamboa, Chacon, and Frias wish to main-
tain, at all risks, the Senate intact, according to
the Constitution of 1837. Ferrer, Cortena, and Gomez
Becerra pretend that the Senate ought to he
reformed as well as the Constitution. It is affit med
that in consequence of the misunderstanding Ferrer
will certainly retire from the Regency Cabinet, and be
replaced by Gamboa, and the latter in the Finance by
Mendizabal under the influence of Lord Palmerston.

One of the prominent topics at the meeting at
Exeter Hall, on Thursday, to call the attention of
the Protestant public to the sth of November, was
the growth of Popery. The Rev. H. STOWELL,
for example, said—

" It was whispered abroad that a coalition was about
to take place, and that the Churches of England and of
Rome were about to marry. In the name of God, in the
name of the martyrs, in the name of religion, said the
Rev. Gentleman, I forbid the bans.—(Tremendous
cheering.) He had been informed by a tutor at Oxford
that Popery was speading her meshes in that University,
and that the Roman ' Breviary' was to be found in
every bookseller's shop, and that it was asserted that
the most saleable book in that collegiate city was the
Breviary.' To check the growth of Popery it was ne-
cessaryto Protestantise England—( Hear)—and for that
purpose, though he had subscribed to the fund to raise
r monument to those martyred Bishops who freed the
University of Oxford, yet, instead of cold marble or
stone, if the opportunity were again presented to him,
he would prefer establishing two Protestant Professors,
who would be perfect masters of controversy, who
would, by their pens and by their voices, be the cham-
pions of Protestantism, and whose certificate to the
Bishops for ordination would be required as the certifi-
cate of the Regius Professor of Divinity.—(Hear.)"
All who have attended to the course of the State
Church make exactly the same complaints. The
Pusey hes, now embracing a large section of the
Church, do not differ in any appreciable degree
from the Romanists. To them the evangelical
portion of the Church is opposed. The Rev.
Messrs. STOWELL, O'SULLIVAN, and other
State priests, were favoured, on Thursday, with
the company and assistance of Dr. BUNTING,
who is the chief of the Methodists, and is called
their Pope. While one section of the State
Church, then, according to the Rev. H. STO-
WELL, is preparing to unite with Rome, another
section is for a fusion with the followers of WES-
LEY, whose pastors are said to look with a longing
eye to a share in the possessions of the orthodox

pulpits.
If, however, as Mr. STOWELL says, Popery is
.thriving at Oxford, and that it is necessary now to
Protestantise England, what can we conclude as to
the labours of the well-paid priesthood, of which
Messrs. STOWELL and O'SULLIVAN are mem-
bers? According to Mr. STOWELL'S assertion,
the labours of the State priesthood for nearly 300
years have been fruitless, and it is now necessary
to Protestantise the priesthood, and convert the
people to Protestantism. To what use, then,
have the revenues of Canterbury, Durham, Win-
chester, and London, been applied ? Alas ! turn on
which side we will—to Canterbury, where THOM
and his followers prevailed—to Oxford, with its
breviaries and its Puseyism—to Gloucester, where
the learned Dr. MONK has not enlightened his
flock against the Mormon superstition—or look to
the untaught, uninstructcd "heathen" of the great
towns ; turn on which side we will, we shall find
evidence of the gross neglect of the State priest-
hood. The very charter of their existence is
opposition to Popery, and they have yielded
up the people and the Church to the Pope.
A stronger and more severe condemnation of the
State priesthood, who are endowed with several

millions a year to keep down and keep out Popery,
we have not of late read, than the passage we have
quoted from the Rev. H. STOWELL.

The meeting held at Manchester on Wednesday
expressed, we believe, the almost unanimous opinion
of the community in relation to a war with France.

It is almost everywhere regarded with repug•

nance, not to say abhorrence. The friendly inter
course, which has softened prejudices and antipa
thies, makes the people now look on a war witl

France with almost as much horror as a war with
Ireland. By the second resolution of the meeting
it was declared that, if the people were consulted,
they would revolt at the unchristian attempt to in-

volve them in the crimes and horrors of war. An
address to the French nation was carried unani-
mously, which must be at once soothing to the
national self-love, and conciliatory of peace.
Should similar proceedings take place in the
other great towns of the empire, war will
not only be prevented now with certainty,
but be rendered impossible in future. Out
of the present apprehensions there arises a delight-
' ful prospect for mankind, and a completely new
line of policy is dictated to statesman. The per-

'ect freedom of commerce advocated by the meet-

lug must become the rule of their conduct as the
means of obtaining the advantages of that peace
which mankind are now determined to have.
The resolutions describe war as unchristian. We
do not see, however, that the Bench of Bishops,
and the rest of the State priesthood, take the lead
in denouncing it. In fact they are the servants of the
State, and they cannot obey CHRIST. They cannot
serve two masters; and if the State command war, the
State priesthood must, as at the period of the
Revolution, preach war. They must bless the
State's standards, and encourage the
_State's soldiers
to shed blood profusely, whatever Christianity may
require. They have sold their liberty to follow
CHRIST for rich livings, and they must take the
consequence of being denounced as an unchristian
