EXPULSION OF THE JEsUITs FROM FRANcE-The
"Journai des Debas" says that "the government,
on witnessing the progress making by the Jesuits
in France, where they already possessed twenty
two establishments had at first resolved to enforce
the laws against that order; but having constantly
declared that it had only in view the real interests Of
religion, the maintenance of public peace and union
among all citizens, the government was anxious to
prove by its acts the sincerity of its declarations
and deemed it expedent, before recurring to the
rigorous exercise Of its rights to exhaust every
me nf lIaf and ner a
ton was accordingly opened with the chief of the
church, and copfded to a member of the Royal
Council Of Public Instruction. M. Rossi was in
structcd to demand Of the Holy See the suppression
Of The establishments Of the Jesui,s in France, Of
their chapes and noyicates, and the dispersion of
the members Of that order who had assembled to
live in common. He, moreover, asked that those
who wished to remain Individually in the kingdom
should rc-enter the category of the ordinary clergy
and be placed under the authority of the bishops
and parish priests. The government had every con-
fdence in the wisdom and prudence of the court Of
Rome, and we are happy to announce that its ex-
pectation has been realized The negotiation il may
be easily imagined was attended with great and nu
merous difficulties. But, thanks to the enlightened
mind of Pope Gregory, XVI, to the wisdom and
experience Of his councillors and, we must also add,
to the fankness Of the General of the Jesuits those
obstacles SUCCESSFULLY disappeared and the cause of
legality, prudence, and peace ultimately triumphed
All the demands made by the French negotiator
were acquiesced in, and we have reason to know
that the superors Of the establishments of the Jesu-
its in France have already received orders from
Rome to conform to the intentions of the Holy
See."
From the London Spectator.
The ant-Jesut party in France have achieved
one of those victories that lead to nothing. The
General of the Jesuits in consequence of the repre-
sensations made by the French government at Rome,
has instructed the heads of the houses Of the order
throughout France to break up their establishments,
desist from receiving novices, and dispose of the
lands belonging to the society with as little delay
possible. There will henceforth be official Jesu-
its in France. But to have been, or even to be a
Jesuit, will be no offence in the eyes of the law
Every Jesuit at present in France may continue TO
live there, and, if he have mind, make proselytes
to his church, disseminate the peculiar views attrib
uted the society, and intrigue privately to mould
the policy of the French ministers into conformity
with those Of the Papal court. If the Jesuits
the reckless intriguers and conspirators that some
men profess to believe, they will be more dangerous
working in private, without acknowledged concert
or union, than working publicly, as a recognised
corporation.
