that the Courier Francois and the Con-
stitutionel have been suppressed by the go
sernmrnt, the former for three months
and the latter for one, IN charge of haV
ing published articles favourable 10 Protes
tantism. Ii is stated, however, that the
real cause Of this severe measure is, thai
the papers in question have commented
too plainly on the abuses Of the clerical Of
fee by the Catholic priesthood.
