|, is not remembered that in any former year so
many crowned heads and royal princes have ,eit
their residences as travellers. Empe-ors, ami Kings
anI Queens, and reignng Dukes and DuchesEes,
have made, OF late, extensive tours, preserving ac
cording to the newspapers, strict incosnlto, but
ALWAYS heralded or sIsnGlIzed Immediately whenev-
or they appear. The French Minister OF the InIe-
rior has issued circular TO all the Bishops of the
realm informing them that thew may no, leave their
respective dioceses any account, without peTmls
sion from the King. They are forbidden likewise
from holding conventions or councils, with whalev.
er proessed object, unless previously authorized. II
Is alleged don the de OF the Government that the
power TO impose these restrictions is express Y
conceded in the COncordit between the Pope
and Bonapirte; but the Lssi,misIs, who com.
plain and protest vehementy, answer that the
latter framed supplement which the Pope refused

presume that, M most instances when Bishop

to move rather noISey towards The DOORS the curate
folded his arms across his breast, and soon he

attention to the pulpit the multitude halted; and the
sermon proved as good &c Raygnan could have
furnished.
We have intelligence from AIsiers tina, the French
Commander-ln chief has broken with the shop
OF the African diocese. Both the Pope and LOUIS
Philippe founded dear hopes on this See, and con-
CURED eagerly in Ike appointment OF an able ant
oposto!Ical preIale At his instlgaton and under
his auspices, by the agency Of priests negotiations
for IN excnance md rnitiEated treatment Of prison
urs were successfully pursued with Abd-e.-kader
and his iieutcnants The "epsc pa, diplomacy"
however became InydUous 10 the military and civil
authorities who believed pretended that the WI.
Nv Arab sent spies TO AlSers IN the gulSe OF com
rnissiares for prisoners, and imposed IN other
spects on the simplicity of the clerical funconarles.
Certain 1t is that the reports oil the Bishops ENJOYS
and his immediate Impressions, were lar more Ia
yornbIe 10 the civilization, humanity and pIety VI
the Arabs, than the official reports from tie other
sources and gave color OF TO the structures OF
many French and British politicians and morasls
on the French system OF warfare IN Ayers. Be
fore the foundation OF the Bshopuck, the ARABS

recognise or worship no God; they were, accord

cred by the Catholic clergy that they manifested an
admirable respect for worship not their own, but
which might he sincere. Baron dc Blude, late
Kings cOmmISsary for the AigeTne provinces, has
published an interesting volume, m which he states
that the tribes deemed the French baJJaT!ans 10 be

any expeditions TaTzias. the professions OF the |
Corpus Christi at AgIers had an extraordinary e.
feet on the twenty thousand or more gazers, not |
Christians, whom they drew together. By the way, .
such professions are even injurious IN the cities Of
France, where scoifers abound, and the multitude
revolt SON religion and the clergy. A. Dion the
municipal councils have arraIgneJ the Bishop and
his Chapter for cOniumacy on that head, and the
case has been referred TO the COunc. Of State at Pa
Ts. Last winter some OF the Right Reverend mem
bers OF the British House OF Lords complained Of
the professions at Montreal on the ground that they
outraged the Professionalism Of tho whole British en-
pire. IL has struck me that sound policy requires
either the total REIMBURSEMENT or very rare uso Of
them in our Republic.
To return 70 the religion Of the Arabs One fact
related by Baron Baude Is remarkable, and should
instruct the French. Polish refugee, the Prince
de Mir undertook large farm at Rlssuiah, with
Arabs nnd kabyles as labOrCfs. At first the Gov

quested TO be relieved Of his military guests; the
natives conducted themselves INDEPENDENTLY 90.

Shiek could be ObCyCd with more submI.sIycnCs.;
and the main reason was, that he had buI;1 chapel,
where, by the sound OF a bell and al the foot Of
cross, proyeIs were put up daily before the com.
mon work began. "Ihe Arabs" slys BaudC," re-
pei US, less as Christians than iufIa's." +. Is
a matter Of regret with this and Other French
writers on Algeria that the war has interrupted the
caravan trade through the provinces. The A raus
avoid traffic with the French. The caravans no
longer come 10 Dan; Medeah is no longer the
enirepot Of Agieu. Constantine has .clt It's eta.
tions OF centuries. The mmemoria route between
the Atlas and the Desert s ablnd1ncd 10 was the
great commercial artery OF Northern Africa. All
