Monsignor Dupanoup, Bishop OF Orleans, rose
10 open the discussion, but yielded tho tribune to
President Theirs. who proceeded to address the
Chamber.
The Presidents speech was plea for the further
postponement OF the debate. lie deprecated dis.
cussion, which, he declared could not by any pos
sibility, serve the interests OF the Holy See. He
assured the Deputies that the policy OF the govern
ment on the Roman question, as announced last
year, was unchanged. The independence OF the
Holy See was dear to France which had always de.
Tended and would continue to defend It, But any
discussion now Of the petitions before the Chamber
would seriously embarrass the government, while 1t

feelings OF Frenchman, ne conprehended the re.
