THE ENGLISH CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.

THE ENGLISH CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.
On Monday two at least of the daily
papers contained articles or paragraphs
concerning the intended formation of an
English Catholic University. 1t is quite
true that the matter has beon under the |
consideration of the Hierarchy ever since |
the Provincial Synod and that q plan
adopted by the Irish Episcopate, has been
since then in course of preparation. More |
over, at a meeting held last month at
Birmingham, the details of the arrange
ments were sketched out, but as these are
still under consideration, it would be pre-
lars of the scheme. We are very glad,
however, to be able to confirm the an
nouncement that the Rt. Rev. Monsignor
Capel has consented to be Rector of the
University. His we'll known talent for
organization and his vigorous initiative
will be a guarantee that there will be no
unnecessary delay in getting the young
University into admirable working order.
THE COMMITTEE AND MARSHAL MAcMAHoN.
The Committee of Fifteen decided on the
18th that it would ask for explanations
from Marshal MacMahon, and sent it's
President and Secretary to request an in
terview, which was granted. 1t took place
on Wednesday, and the Marshal thanked
the Committee for being willing to prolong
question of the Constitutional Bills, which,
he said, was one which concerned the As
sembly. He would always submit to its
sovereign decisions, or, If he could not
carry them out, retire from power. Most
of the Committee declared Themselves sat
isfied, but M. de Remusat pressed hard for
more categorical assurances respecting the
Constitutional Bills, to which the Marshal
| not unnaturally replied that he could not
contemplate the possibility of the Bills not
| being passed, for they alone would give
him and his Government the strength and
| stability they needed.
THE MOVEMENT FOR A PLEBIscITE.
The temporary alliance between tho
Republicans and Bonapartists, is illustrat-
notice of fresh resolution in favor of an
appeal to the people. The Bonapartists,
however, are themselves divided on this
point, NJ. Rouher and the Ordre going in
for an immediate plebisoite, and M. Paul de
Caesagnac and the Pays opposing it, on the
nor public opinion are ready.
DIFFERENCES AMONG THE LEFT SECTIONS.
AS to the Changarnier proposition the
Radical Republicans must of course vote
against it altogether in any form which
would be Acceptable to Marshal MacMahon,
who is reported by our Paris correspon-
dent to have declared that he "will neither
be jockeyed nor put Off" They are COM
mitted to this course by their repeated de,
clarations that the present Assembly has
no constitutional powers. Then there are
the more moderate Republicans who, will
NJ. Grevy, hold that the Assembly cannot
prolong the Presidents powers beyond it,
own existence, and those who believe thai
it can, but will not do SO unless those
powers are first defined and the Republic
definitively organized. The points at issue
between these were settled at the former
meeting of the Committee on Monday
when it was decided by thirteen to two
create Presidency of longer duration thar
itself.
THE EXTREME RIGHT AND THE DICTATOR
| SHIP.
The attitude of the Extreme Right il
somewhat peculiar. The report that the
Comte de Chambord has ordered them tx
vote for the Government proposition is con
tradicted; they will do so if nothing inter
venes to modify the situation but they
seem, according to our Paris letter, to b.
respecting another manifesto from the
King. This, however, would be of no i'm
mediate use towards the Restoration, nm.
less it were satisfactory to the Right
Centre, so as to reknit the Monarchica
majority into one; and the disapprobatioE
which the FrGneaiS expresses at the pro
vincial addresses which keep coming in in
favor of the Restoration, shows that the
disunion on that head between the two
Rights still continues to exist. 1t is in fac
the detection of the Right Centre which
renders the Monarchy inn possible, and it il
to the conduct of that fraction in persist
emily calling for stipulations and writer
guarantees that the whole failure is owing
If they trusted the King as much, or ever
less than they are prepared to trust Mac
Mahon, ths letter would never have beef
