FRANCE-THE REPUBLIC-THE POPE.
In The midst of the specuations that we daily
hear and read about the change which has taken
place in France, no rejecting man can nelp no
iicing the spectacle, both gratifying aud SUD-
lime, presented to the world, especially to The
Christian world, by the religious spirit which
peryades throughout all classes of the ccmmu-
nity in this brave and mighty nation. Not only
at the fall of Louis Philip, and during the terri
bile DAYS Of June, has the highest respect been
maid To the emblems Of religion, 10 churches.
and 10 the clergy; not only has Paris and all
France bitterly wept over the death OF Arch
bishop Dafre; not only have the heads oil The
Government, 10 their communications with the
civil and military authorities, spoken in the
name of religion, and evinced truly eyaDgell-
cal spirit; but yet France, en- n1asse, deloeratng
ON the welfare of The country, through her no
tional representation, taking The Almighty 10
witness. has declared the freedom of religious
opinions, rendering equal protection and support
TO all denominations, an equal salary to The MI
nisters of the various churches. These are
the acts by which the Republic was Inaugural
ted, the acts by which France, untrammeieo,
uninHuerced, but perfectly free, has vlnaica'ea
her character as a religious nation. Inc ias'
act of the administration, before the eiccsioh
of the President, was the expression of its
sympathy for the Pope, by offering him the hos
nitaty OF the nation, without interfering ID
The temporal affairs of Rome. Here is trans
i,tion Of General Cavaignac's letter 10 bis
Holiness, and the Pope's answer:
"PARis, December 3, l64S
