THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 7,

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The fetes to the Royal Commissioners and to the
Lord Mayor still engross the public attention; a de-
tailed account of them will be found in another
column.

Tope arrogance and usurpations of the parti-pretre
are at length arousing the indignation of those whose
panic fear of Socialism has caused them to suffer
themselves to be dragged through the mire of Je-
suitism by MM. DE MONTALEMBERT and DE FAL-
LOUX. M. DUPIN, the President DUPIN, the ultra-
Conservative M. DUPIN, felt himself compelled to
protest in his place in the Assembly against the
usurpations of the grasping clergy, and, thanks to his
interposition, the amendment to the Hospital Regula-
tion Bill, proposed by M. SCHOELCHER, for the pur-
poses of giving to the civil power the right of dis-
missing the chaplains to public institutions, has been
referred to the Committee, and will, in all probabi-
lity, be incorporated in the Bill. The following is
the report of the discussio❑ :
The next order of the day was the third reading of
the Bill relating to the administratio❑ of hospitals and
other charitable institutions.

M. Schoelcher proposed, as an amendment, that the
spiritual authority should be obliged to come to au un-
derstanding with the Government for the removal of
chaplains in those establishments, when necessary.
M. de Melun opposed the amendment, on the ground
that the present system worked well.
The President—You cannot force the Government to
keep chaplains of whom it disapproves.—(Movement.)
M. de Melun declared that, atter having examined the
concordate, he was of opinion that the amendment could
not be admitted. He conceived that a chaplain when
once appointed was irremoveable.

M. gam here replaced M. Dupin in the chair.
M. Unpin said that the chaplains depended at the same
time on the civil and the ecclesiastical authorities, and
the co. operation of these two authorities was indispen-
sable. Conflicts had frequently taken place in the hos-
pitals between the directors and the chaplains. He had,
while member of the committee of surveillance of the
hospitals, found the latter interfere with the religious
opinions of young people in spite of the wishes of their
parents. It was highly necessary that the abuses which
existed should be put an end to. The Government was
disposed to give every latitude to religion, but there
were some persons who wished to encroach, and, while
feeling every respect for the ecclesiastical authority, he
could not admit that the civil authority should be
deserted.

M. Armand (de Melun) protested, in the name of the
Committee, against what he termed the diatribe of M.
Dupin.

Dupin said that he felt the highest respect for re-
ligion, but he could not oppose what he considered as its
abuses. During all his political career he had defended
the civil against the encroachments of the ecclesias-
tical authorities, and he should continue to de so.—
(Hear.) The republic was, he said, a regime of liberty ;
it had given great developments to the religious powers,
but it could never allow it to swallow up the civil au-
thority.—(Applause.) The Ildn. Gentleman concluded
by proposing that the amendment of M. Schoelcher
should be referred back to the Committee.

The amendment was then rderred to the Committee
as proposed.
The organs of the parti-prilre are most amusingly
angry with their " model President" of the Assembly,
who is by them condemned to outer darkness, in com-
pany with M. MICHBL (de Bourges), M. VICTOR
Huoo, and the rest of the wicked.
Tne councils of the arrondissements commenced
their sittings on Monday.
The following communicated note appears in the
Moniteur :--1. A journal of the Gironde, on the faith
of a letter from Narbonne, of the 31st ult., stated
that on the 30th four sentinels had been assassinated
at Perpignan, and that a fifth had only extricated
himself by killing two men. This statement is ut-
terly without foundation."

Even the Bourse speculators, to whom a military uni-
form is in general an object of horror, appear to be in-
spirwd with warlike arduur, for they have deserted their
usual field of operations for the Champ de Mars. Tho
