PARIS CORRESPONDENCE.

TUESDAY.

The proceedings against the press formed part of
3 es terday's discussions, and M. Haentj ens expressed his sur-
prise at the inconsistency displayed by the Government.
M. de Forcade replied that the Government had allowed
absolute liberty during the three months which suc-
ceeded the amnesty, but it was obliged to have recourse
to the tribunals to prevent the circulation of attacks upon
the Sovereign. The Liberte assails the Minister of the
Interior with some severity for his language on this occa-
sion. " Nous n'avons pas voulu," said M. de Forcade,
in referring to the suspension of press prosecutions.
So then, exclaims M. de Girardin, the Government can
at pleasure prescribe or prohibit these prosecutions! It
can at pleasure interfere with the ordinary course of law
on the pretext of giving the country political
experience. Never, he continues, was a more
imprudent, and a more impudent avowal made. And it
necessitates the abrogation of the repressive laws against
the Press, if the law and the magistrates of Franco are to
preserve any moral prestige. MM. Ernest Picard, Glais-
Bizoia, and Rochefort took part in the brief debate, all
complaining of the arbitrary and uncertain restrictions
put upon the public sale of certain journals. M. Picard
declared that such official interference was especially
oppressive with regard to the provincial journals of the
Opposition. At Montpellier, for instance, there were two
journals in whose behalf he protested against the prefectoral
restriction of public sale. The restriction was removal
from one, but maintained in regard to the other, a distinc-
tion he denounced as purely arbitrary. M. Rochefort
created some surprise by declaring that from his
experience, the journals actually profited by these
restraints. The Rappel, the sale of which is forbidden by
the Government, has the largest circulation, and his own
journal doubled in circulation as soon as the authorisation
of sale was removed. Being asked the ground of his com-
plaint, lie said that the restriction was unfair to the news-
paper vendors, and that all papers which paid the same duties
should have the same rights. M. Guyot Montpayroux
closed the discussion by declaring that the Ministers, after
having the courage to enter upon a noble path, had
stopped half way. "You had but this merit," ho ex-
claimed, " and this you are losing,"—a sentiment which
was loudly applauded by the Left. Upon this a
cry was raised for the Order of the Day, which
being supported by what M. Jules Favre calls "la majorite
muette," the debate conveniently closed.
The financial report of M. Magne has been on the whole
well received, and is favourably spoken of in financial and
commercial circles. It remains to be seen what
effect it will produce upon his political position. The
Constitutionne/ thinks M. Magne will have the eternal
honour of attaching his name to the close of the era of
deficits and of periodical loans. The &We considers the
Minister's estimate of the political situation far too
favourable.

Six episcopal seats are now vacant in France. A diffe-
rence of opinion prevails between the Holy See and the
French Government with respect to the appointments at
Martinico and Agen. The religious world is becoming
uneasy on the point, as the nominations of the French
authorities are not ratified at Rome.
Troppmann has not yet made his appeal, but it is not
likely that, in any case, the trial will be delayed beyond
the 28th, because the Court of Cassation would hold an
extra sitting, in order to take the appeal at once. Tropp-
mann was apprized of this determination, and it has
probably deterred him from carrying out his scheme.
The Archbishop of Munich addressed a pastoral letter
to the clergy of his diocese prior to his departure for Rome,
in which he declared that the Council would come to no
decision which would interfere with popular liberty and
/he rights of nations. It would not seek to extend the
power of the Church, for the present position of affairs
could not sanction such an attempt.
