hllarlty amongst the members Of the SEN
ate.
Monsieur ROuher, protested in the name
of his Government, against the i%nsinua-
tionsof the noble Marquis, especially as
regards the latter part of his speech. You
must not conclude from this, that the I'm
perial Cousins have made up their last
6rouiue but Mr.. Rouher had II duty to
perform. AS Prince Napoleon, d few
days before his departure for Italy, had
informed the Minister that if he did not
promise 10 take his defence, if attacked,
he would postpone his journey in order
to 40 so in person-ths Emperor fearing q
second edition of his cousins sreech at
Ajaccio-the Minister was ordered to
do as the Prince desired.
MARSHAL FoRET
Spoke at length on the Mexican question.
I he former leader of the Expedition op-
posed the return of the French troops. On
the contrary achievements and money
should be sent out to complete the work
begun. This proposition was received
with exclamatiOns of dissent; the Minister
Rouher wished to inform the deputies that
the MarshaIs opinions were personal. 1t
is believed hat Forey had been commits
stoned TO feel the ground, and Monsieur
Rouher was to blame or to approve as the
case might be. The Emperor still clings
to his favorite idea of protecting the
Latin race against the Anglo-Saxon On
the American continent, and it is much
against his will that he is induced to give
up the Mexican question. Mons. Rouher
declared that the French troops would
soon be recalled.
The only remaining question to be set
tied is the Roman and that of increased
liberty TO the people. The French press
has for the last month been the object of
renewed attacks from the agents of the
government, and alarmed by the menaces
Of the Moniteur. 1t is afraid to make any
comment on the debates of the Corps Le-
giStatJ and the Senate.
h CORPS L%EGIsLATIF
Is. much more active than the Senate.
Tn greater part of the deputies are alive
to the necessity of giving satisfaction to
public opinion. 1t is evident that the
greater part of their constituents wish for
liberal measures. They threaten not TO
r~e-elect them in 1869 if they neglect to
urge the government to act with less
severity toward the press. Mons. Emile
Olivier, who is at the head of "a new
mixed liberal party, will, it is thought,
give the government some trouble.
THE PATH OF FEBRUARY.
An election will take place on the Marine.
It Is well known that the oath of Febru-
airy is the anniversary of the revolution
of ls4S, which gave the people universal
suffrage. There are four candidates, but
the chances are decidedly in favor of an
opposition man, who, if elected, will as
suredly be found in the ranks of those
who imperiously demand an extension Of
liberty.
In the meantime the French Govern
ment is taking every means of strength
ening the Pope's powers. AS a great many
French officers and soldiers will be allowed
to take service in the Pontifcal army, I
must not omit to inform you of
PIoUs srRArAGEM.
A papal recruiting office has been open
ed at Elvian, Savoy. Several who have
been enlisted unfortunately turn out to be
h%eretics. What was to be done? The
Roman Cardinals would not like to be
defended by any other than orthodox
muskets. We hear the baptismal regis
has been extracted from the vestry
room Of the Protestant Parish Church of
German of Geneva, and false acts
substituted, showing that the enlisted
Protestants were never Protestants at all.
but born in the Holy Roman Catholic
Church. The fact is certified to BY NJ
the Rector of the Parish of St.
German, who, in a letter published in
he papers, complains of the theft from
MS registry as much as the Pope would if
he keys Of st. Peter were taken from
lim.
THE ROMAN QUESTION
