been the more inclined to this view,
in consequence Of q telegram which has Just
been received By His Lordship Bishop Tacha,
from Father Richot md the other Commis-
Hionels. They announce that they are urging

course, had certain power IN regard to these |
demands, but before anything was finally Set
