tonly destroyed this safegard. If the Pore is to be
permitted to split up dioceses at will and pleasure,
ind, er mero motu, appoint new bishops, how many
foreigners may we not have sent amongst us to fulfil
functions of the highest importance in the State ?
It was attempted to be made out both by
the POPE and Cardinal WisEmarr, that the
British Government were supposed to be fa-
vourable to the project which was carried
out by the celebrated bull of last September. That
attempt signally failed ; and yet,!when no such ex•
cuse could by possibility be offered, when the hosti-
lity of the Administration to his schemes is patent to
the world, another bull, fraught with a dangerous
principle, and without the least countenance of the
Ministry, is sent from the Vatican. The Porn tries
to carry matters with a high hand ; we are mis-
taken if he does not speedily discover that Parliament
can put a wholesome check upon these rampant
mai:louvres.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Ministerial crisis still continues. The Patric
says—

" The negotiations for the formation of a new Cabinet
have as yet led to no result ; there is every probability
that the denouement of the Ministerial crisis will be de-
layed for some time."

The PRESIDENT of the Republic sent for M.
ODILON BARROT on Tuesday evening, and it was
immediately reported that the PRESIDENT had com-
missioned him to form a Ministry. The Journal
des Debats, however, of yesterday morning contains
the following announcement :
"M. Odilon Barrot requests us to annouDoe that he
has not received any mission to form a new Cabinet.
The interview which he had yesterday evening at six
o'cicck with the President of the Republic was passed
in a general conversation on the present state of affairs."
It would seem that the. PRESIDENT of the Republic
will not appoint M. ODILON BARROT as his Minister
unless he should be actually forced on him, for he
emphatically declared to a representative on Tuesday
evening, "that he should not choose his Ministry
from among the majority of 415, nor, above all, should
he choose them from amongst those who had abstained
from voting."
M. SENARD had been sent for, and there was at one
time a rumour that he would be appointed Minister
of the Interior ; but M. SENARD will accept office
only on two conditions—first, that the electoral law of
31st May shall be repealed, and second, that M. Louis
NAPOLEON BONAPARTE shall pledge himself not to
becoms a candidate for the Presidency in 1852.
The Gazette de France mentions a rumour that M.
DE LAMARTINE, again solicited by the PRESIDENT,
had undertaken to form a new Cabinet, the first act
of which would be to introduce a measure for the re-
peal of the electoral law.
It was considered probable that M. BILLAULT
would be entrusted with the formation of a new
Cabinet.

The PRESIDENT has sent for several Prefects of De-
partments and Receivers-General to consult them on
the crisis; many of them arrived in Paris last night.
The Constitutionnel announces the discovery of
another secret society, and publishes a seditious ma-
nifesto alleged to have been seized, but which bears
no signatures. This circumstance is very suspicious,
us is the fact noticed by the National, that whenever a
difference occurs between the PRESIDENT and the
Monarchists, M. CARLSEE, the Dens ex Machining,
discovers a Socialist plot to frighten " the naughty
boys" back to obedience. With regard to the finding
the seditious proclamation, we would remark that in
all TITUS OATES, Plaats, the finder is the hider.
The following is in the Moniteur :
" The Commission, formed by decree of the 141 h of
December last, and presided over by M. Fould, Mi-
nister of Finances, to examine into the question of the
coinage, has declared—That the recent oepreciation in
gold has been principally produced by accidental causes,
the effect of which is beginning to decrease; that the
influence which permanent causes might have exercised
on that depreciation cannot be now sufficiently deter-
mined ; that in this state of things it is necessary to
collect precise information on the production of the pre-
cious metals, principally in California and in Russia.
The commission, in consequecce, is of opinion that
from the facts stated, there are no grounds for making
any change in our monetary system."
The Assembly has passed the law authorizing the
arrest of Members for debt, by a majority of 456
to 196.

The members of the BAROCUE Ministry have
quitted their official residences.

- The Opinion Publique states that the following
officers of the National Guards have given in their
resignation, in consequence of the dismissal of General
CuitriGausasit :-Colonels, Illlki. Roger (du Nord),
