Right Rev. MOnseigneur de SegT, Bishop In France,
has published pamphlet of co odd pages which now
in fourteenth edition II is not witty like the LdRre

not exceptionally bad passage of the seurrilous
pamphlet which the noble and Observation-Disclosures sin
conservative clergyman publishes under under the
title Pretres Ct No6ieS. This sadly droll, woefully

President Ters has issned writs for the supplementary
elections An exception made in the case Of Corsica,
where exImperial Minister Rouher's candidature was
prepared. Strictly speaking, this exception is legal by
virtue OF dietaoral decree of Napoleon, uttered in
1882 This assumed the Government the privilege Of
putting sxmonths' interval between vacancy in the

with Rouhers case, which it directly applies, than
with the indirect setting of apreceden which may be
convenient for him to apply to the Orleans Princes.
The Prince de Joinville and the Duke dAumale were
both elected from their respective departments TO

all the same by virtue Of which NJ ThIers agreed 70

princes condition that they should not exercise them
The princes claim that the circumstances under which
this condition accepted have been radically changed
by the Rvet proposition which transformed Thiers from
Chief Of the Executive Power 10 President Of the Re-
public. Thors per eonrC insists that the change is
formal essential and that the PROMISE which he has
no night TO xac which they had right 20 give OF iDdef
