Thiers Troubles in France.

PARIS, Oct. 1.-THE Permanent Com

important meeting, at which President
Theirs was present. Matters were discussed
on which there was considerable conflict
of opinion. Gambetta's political tour and
speeches in the provinces and-assaults re-
Gently made on the pilgrims who continue
to flock to witness the miracle of the Vir-
gin were regarded by some of the members
rs likely TO lead 10 trouble. President
Thiers expressed indignation at the out
rageous treatment of the pilgrims, which
he regarded as an attack on Catholic re-
ligion and the national form of worship
He warmly condemned the course of NJ.
Gambetta, who, he said, was trying to di-
vide the nation and render the position of
the government abroad more difficult
Thiers, who seemed to be induced to break
with the left, still clung to the Republic,
and his positive declarations in favor of
government were received with laughter
by the Monarchist of the Commission.
The report that Prince Napoleon intend
ed to return to France and possibly resume
his residence in Paris was also considered.
President Thiers informed the Commits
sion that he had expressed his disapproval
of such steps and had taken measures to
prevent the Prince from carrying his in
tention into effect.
LONDON, Oct Additional military
and constabulary forces have been or
dered tothe Sysburn Island. Anti-Catho-
lie disturbances are threatened there.
Prince Napoleon has received official
notice from the French government that
he will not be permitted to visit Franch or
take up his residence on Frence soil ,as has
been reported he intended to do.
