The POLITICAL SITUATION IN FRANCE
Densocrdt,c AanYe esto-The French Clergy at Rome
Want to POte.-The joint Committee of Deputies
Of the left and representatives OF the Demo-
cratic press in Paris have issued another mani
testo to the electors. They protest against the
rickery of the government In publishing on the
eve OF an election violent and ill-considered re-
ports for the purpose of creating panic. They
denounce the government for charging all its
opponents with insurrectiOn and assassination,
that France has escaped great danger. The
committee say they despise these calumnies.
France knows on which side are the men of
violence. She knows who get power by the
coup d'etat. Two-thirds of the French bishops
and priests now in Rome have requested per
mission to vote at the French embassy on the
plebiscitum. The Marquis Of Benyille thanks
them for their patriotism, but is instructed to
reply that the law does not permit such a stem.
