IoNDoS. December 14-An important
napal buIl has been issued under seal
of strict secrecy, establishing regula-
tions for the Ecumenical Council. In
the exordium His Holiness exhorts the
bishops to live in the practice of charity,
humanity, sobriety and pisus contem-
platiou during the session of the Coun.
Gil. He declares that although the
right of making propositions for the
Council belongs only TO himself and the
Court of Rome, dd nos ct Gd Sanctum sedan.
He desires and expects every father TO
think it his duty TO make propositions,
but on these conditions: First, that the
proposition be made in writing and sub
mitted privately to the council OF
bishops named by the Pope. Second,
that the proposition have for its object
the general interests of the Church, not
of particular diocese. Third, that it be
accompanied by q statement of the mo-
tives which led to it's presentation.
Fourth, that it be conformable to the
spirits and traditions of the Catholic
Church. His Holiness enforces secrecy
on every person concerned in concilia.
ton. Let the order of precedence be
fixed as follows: Cardinal bishops, car
dinal priests, cardinal deacons, patri-
archs, prinates, arch-bishops, bishops,
abbots, and generals of monastic orders.
The fathers are authorized to designate
ten of their number to be charged with
the judicial settlement of CONVERSATIONS
arising among themselves. The bull
appoints the officers of the coun-
Gil, naming as Legal, or pre-
sides over the general congre-
cations, Cardinals, De Resioch, De
Lucia, Bizarre, Bio and Capalti.
Fathers who wish to harangue the AS
sembly must obtain authoriz alton from
the Legal the evening preceding the
day on which they intend to speak.
Those who intend to propose canens
must first submit them 10 one of the
four commissioners of faith, discipline,
religious orders and oriental atfairG.
These commissioners are to be chosen
by the fathers, but each will be presided
over by the Cardinal named by the
Pope. The Bull prohibits fathers from
absenting themselves before the conclu-
sion of the council, and authorizes them
to reside outside of their diocese during
the entire period of the council. A ma
jority of the bishops are dissatisfied
with many of the provisions of the
Pspal Ball.
PARIS, December l5.-Carlists insur-
rectionists continue quite active on tho
French border. Yesterday several cases
of arms, supposed to belong to them,
were seized at BayOmi and other places
in that neighborhood by French author
ities.
LONDON, December 15.-Ths Morning
Telegraph has an editorial on the re-
moval of the reciprocity wherein it pre-
diets some modification of the policy of
Congress toward the Dominion of Cana
da, through the Influence of Secretary
Fish, who is believer in free trade.
The Times to-day while admitting the
improved quantity, quality and price of
India cotton does not consider the posi-
BILE displacement of American descrip-
tions.

ministry successfully opposed to the
continuation of war against Paraguay

The failure is announced to-day OF
Richard Patrick ~ Co., of New York

bank stock broker and former clerk in
the Sub-Treasury. The liabilities are
not stated. Rumor says that prOmi-
nent dry goods firm has also suspended,
but the name is withheld.
The governing committee Of the
Stock Exchange have concluded not to
offer reward for the apprehension of
Gray and Pratt, as the victims of the
bounty loans fraud have already taken
the necessary steps in the matter.
They have, however, directed their law
committee to see that there is no com
promising with the rogues.
MONEY-Nery active and stringent
up to $50 P. NJ, with rates for call
loans at per cent gold, and 1-l6at
per cent per diem; after that hour
money became easier in consequence
of payments by the Treasury for the
bonds purchased, and before P. NJ.
money was per cent currency to gold
interest. After bank hours money
again advanced to- per cent. gold and
lilo per cent per diem, the demand be-
ing generally supplied before that time.
there are certainly some indications
that the stringency is being assisted by
artlheial means, as greenbacks were
very scarce and in sharp demand.
