III. Theirs at Paris.-M. Theirs continues
to amuse himself in the absence of his
masters; he has been present at an official
reception of NJ. Jules Simon's, and has
gwen two dinners and receptions at the
Ely E.ysee. Among the guests at the first din
ner We're several mayors of Paris the
second was given to the clergy and the
judges. But both at NJ. Jules Simop's and
at his own reception NJ. Theirs took care
that he should be overheard to say must
go in time to reach my legal domicile;
surveillance of the Committee of Perman-
ence. The impression produced - and
probably intended to be produced-is that
the President is subjected to the most alb
surd restraint, and that there can be no
possible reason why he should not be al
question of the transfer of Government is
sure to come on again not long after the
reopening of the Assembly.
MINI. Junqua and Molus. The Able
Junqua has been condemned by the Bor-
deaux court to six months imprisonment,
we presume for ibellous publcations-but
has given notice OF appeal, and has arrived
completely in these libels, M. Mouls, is re-
ported to be about to open an "Old Cathe-
lie chapel at Brussels.
France and the Haly See.-The Univers
announces that numerously signed petit
ton in favor of the rights of the Holy See
will be presented to the Assembly after
the recess. The same paper publishes q
note signed by NJ. Louis Veuillot, in which
he says that the words uttered by the Pope
on the 18th inst, {they are published in our
Roman Lottery recommending charity to
certain Catholics, must certainly be exclu-
sively applied to him. NJ. Veuillot says he
will obey, and will seek to effect the de-
sired harmony; bnt if the Pope. who ia the
Judge, considers that the work of the Uni
rers can no longer have the character de-
manded by the interests of the Church, that
work shall be terminated.
GERMANY.
Ihc PrusSidn Government and the Church.
The last of the vexatious measures against
the Church in Prussia-which a correspon-
dent in the TOce dele Terita attributes to
quasi between Prince Won
Bismarck aud the Masonic interest repre-
Sented by the Crown Prnce-has been the
removal of about sixty ecclesiastics in the
Polish provinces from their posts as in
spcctors of schools. The Bishop of Hill
cese to retain the inspection Of the schools,
at least Professionally; adding that if the
position becomes practically untenable,
and it is impossible to reconcile the Divine
law with human legislation, "we shall
have to endure the grief of withdrawing
our cooperation, and abandoning a field
of labor which the Church has cultivated
with so much love and SO many sacrifices"
The Bishops answer to the inquiry respect
ing the effects cf accommodation is not
yet made public. In the meantime, Free
mason has been expelled from his lodge for

cases are parallel enough, but we do not
hear that Herr Falk has objected to excom-
munication when Illuminated by this tribu-
nal. The President of Catholic club has
also been prosecuted, because on the sup
preston OF the club it appeared from the
archives that this club, with many others,
joined in the address last year to Cardinal
Antoneiii, protesting against the calumnies
contained IL 4 pretended Z" Biography" of
his 'Emincnce. The Central Committee,
the court decided, had become a political
association by the fact of propagating this
address, and the particular club in ques-
ton, by entering into communication with
the Committee, had violated the law by
communicating with another political as
ISOLATION similar to itself. Ii we are to be-
lleve the London Standards Cologne cor
respondent, the Government ere by 10
means so certain of ultimate success as
they were few weeks ago. The Conserva-
tive party are becoming suspicious, aud if
1t becomes apparent that Government is not
only acting against the Catholics but throw
ing itself into the arms of tho Liberals, the
whole Conservative element in the house
VIII go over in body to tho Opposition.
Bishop Strossmayer.- We contradicted,
some months ago, the authenticity of
speech said to have been delivered in the
Council by Bishop Strossmayer, aud pub
lished by the enemies of the Church. This,
or something like it, appears to have got
into the Austrian papers, for Mgr. Stress
mayer has written to Mgr. Fessler, the
Secretary of the Council, to repudiate it,
adding that his ideas are radically differ
ent from those maintained in the pretend
ed speech. " l am conscious" he contin-
ues, 90 that l have never said anything
which was calculated really to weaken the
authority Of the Holy See, or to wound in
the least degree the unity of the Church."
He authorizes the Bishop of st. Polten to
make any use of his letter. and that Pre-
