It has been said that there are here, Ave
Imperiaiists, three Orleanists, and one
Legitimist, but nothing can be more incor-
rect There is only one name which can
be put down as decidedly Imperialist, that
of M. Mague, and he, although he held the
same post under the Empire, was always
much less politician than financier.
Effect on Public Opinion.-His appoint
msnt is most fayorably received and the
has been to send the funds up nearly, if
not quite, one and a-half per cent. The
Radicals have had the prudence to see that
the new Executive is not to be triaed with,
and have counselled peace, silence, and
prudence to their adherents which is SO

About in the XIX Steele is abusive. The
Uniuers is of opinion that the semi official
organs are likely to be found open for con-
viction.say at the end of month. The
general feeling of the country will, if we
mistake not, be now proved to be far diff
ferent from that which was inferred from
the recent elections. At present it seems
to be very much that of a man who was
slipping over the edge of a precipice, and
has just found secure footing. It is Gu
rious coincidence that the day on which

The Persecution in Switzerland aud the
Catholic Uni0n.-It is with tie most cor
dial good wishes that we give publicity to
the appeal from the Catholic Union of
Great Britain on behalf of the persecut ted
Bishops been driven from their seats of
residence, and one of them brutality exiled,
and they as we'll as their faithful clergy,
" deprived of their means of existence in
order to constrain them to betray their
duty" but in the district of the Jura-a
portion OF the Canton Berne which was an
nexed thereto under very special stipula-
tions that the exercise of the Catholic reli-
gion should be for ever free, and it's rights
respected-the clergy of a population of
IS 600 Catholics have been forbidden under
penalties to celebrate Mass, publicly to
administer the Sacramento, especially
baptism, and to administer the last rites
to the dying. 1t cannot be matter of
wonder that the Catholics of the Jura,
sick of sending in petitions which are
rejected, should have summoned a
public meeting which was to be held
last Sunday at Courrendlin. Z" The per-
going on secretly for many years is now
open and avowed. Our lawful Bishop is
driven from, his See. Our cures, our priests,
actually suspended, will soon be dismissed
Our children are deprived of religious in
struetion. We shall have no more bap-
tisms, marriages, or religious burials, and
fundamental prescriptions of their religion.
This is in Switzerland, in a country calling
itselffFee :: and the population thus treated
is one TO which the act of reunion as well
as the FEDERAL and Cantonal constitutions
guarantee the free exercise of the Roman
Catholic religion They declare there
fore that they are determined, they and
their children, to remain faithful to the Ca
tholic Church, governed by the Pope, and
represented by their Bishops and their
lawful pastors. We will-because it is
our right: and what is the authority in
nouncing the first principles of the liberty
of conscience, will dare to answer: we will
not allow it r. We wish such courageous
defenders of the faith every success, and
cannot help suspecting that the petty per-
secutors of Berne and Geneva are lust the
people to sing very much smaller when
there is Government in France which is
likely to ask them questions about the in
fraction Of the treaty stipulations. In the
meanwhile we cannot too strongly recon-
mend to our readers the work Of charity
which the Catholic Union has inaugurated,
that of giving pecuniary assistance to our
prosecuted eo-religionists.
Present and Future Rulers of SpaSa.-
The stories from Spain about Carlist
Chiefs cutting off peoples arms before they
shoot them, about their shooting children,
and executing their prisoners at Sanahuja
in patches of go many at a time, are of
course pretty equally baseless; and are
contradicted one after another at nearly
the Same interval after tho date at which
they appear in the kilograms. 1t would
appear, however, as if the proceedings of
the irreconcilables, were almost as afro
ctous as those of their Paris brethren, I'm
