THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday
and ytstrrday.

Patrie, which is one of the most trusted of
the organs of the Elysee, publishes a long article re-
commending the Councils General to call upon the
Legislative Assembly to dissolve itself (a piece of
advice which we doubt whether the Legislative As-
sembly will adop'), and it further proposes that the
elections of the new Assembly shall take place, not all
at once, but at such times as may enable the Govern-
ment to concentrate large bolies of troops at the dif-
ferent polling places. This is a clumsy plagiarism
of the 18,h Brumaire. 'The constituencies, according
to this proposition, are to be coerced instead of the
legislator s.
The National has the following on the Roman
Catholic meeting in Dublin :
" The prelates of Ireland, in defiance of the recent
law, assume titles which the law forbids. This may be
Roman, but it is not clever, and still less inuocent.
But the Irish clergy, not content with having made
a crusade against mixed education, seems well
disposed to sow agitation in the country, and, by
preaching revolt, to paralyse the efforts of the Eeglisti
Government for the reconciliation of the two races.
This may be politic, but it is not Chris, ian. In floe,
the Irish Catholic Church seems more disposed to remain
taitetut to the dominating spirit of ultramontenism than
to the counsel given by the Divine Master to his disci-
ples—* Render to Cre,ar what belongs to Cas4ar.' If the
clergy alone were in question, we should rather rejoice
at conduct which, by exceeding just rights, would lead
to a salutary reaction in favour of neglected duties. Un
fortunately, however, the flocks are behind the shep-
herds, and we cannot without horror contemplate the mis-
fortunes which the Roman Catholic priests are about
to bring on Ireland, as they scatter with full hands the
seeds of civil discord. Certain are we that Divine
Justice will cause to fall on their heads the blood which
they provoke to be shed—the blood of those poor crea-
tures whose fanaticism they excite by promises of 'chi-
tnerical palms of martyrdom without honour. But we
know them too well to be ignorant of this, that in the in-
terval of final retribution they will contrive to slink away
from the chastisement due to them as the promoters
of rebellion, and that they will allow the whole
weight of it to tall on the heads of those poor ignorant
peasants, less guilty than themselves, whom they can as
yet turn about as they please. It is therefore with a
sore heart that we see recommended a struggle which of
old was heroic and sacred when the contest was for
licerty of conscience, but which, now that Catholics are
enfranchised, is impious and detestable because without
necessity, and which is in reality got. up under pretext
of nominal prerogative in _the interests of his ambition
who sits as priest-king of the Vatican?'

According to the Ordre the greatest divisions
exist iu the Legiticuatibt party.
