the Swatara vas to leave next day for Chatham
Islands The site upon which the Kerguelen ISL
and observing party is located is at the head OF

AN Exciting Debate on the Question Of
University Control.
The Bishop Of Orleans Breaks an Episcc-
pal Lance with Radicalism.

PARIS, Dec. 5-Evening.
The National Assembly has been engaged in an
exciting debate Tor the past two days on blll
which was supported by the clerical deputies, for
freeing the University from the control OF the
State. The principal speakers were Bishop Du.
panloup legtttmist, and M. Challemel-Lacour,
xadtcal Deputy for the Bouches-du- -Rhone.
BISHOP DUPANLoUP AssAII.s THE RADICALS.
Bishop Dupanloup, In the course OF his remarks
to-day, passtonately declared that danger to
society was to be apprehended from the friends Of
those who favored the shooting OF the Archbishop
ofPAris.
TuMULT IN THE HOUSE.
This remark occasioned great tumult in the
CHAMBER.
THE DIGNITY OF LIBERALISM SUPERIOR TO HIGH
CHURCHISM.
Upon the restoration OF order N. Challeme-
Lacour retorted upon Bishop Dupanloup in a
speech OF great bitterness. Ee said he sleft such
personalities to the judgment OF honest men and
those who had some regard lett for the dignity OF
tho French episcopate.n

Prince Bismarck Continues 10 Battle
with the UltramontaneS.
The Pope Indicted as an Ally of
France.

BERLIN, Dec. 6. 1874
The Reichstag was to-day engaged In the discus
sion upon the estimates OF the Foreign once.
The ul,ramontane deputy, windhorst, spoke at
length. He assailed the government for suppress
ing the legation OF the Vatican, and declared that
such action would not estrange German Catholics
from the Pope.
BIsAARcKs CHARGES AGAINST THE VATICAN.
Prince Bismarck also spoke. He said that upon
reading the report OF the last debate in the Cham.
.per, he discovered that he had expressed concia-
tory sentiments which he must now withdraw,
because ne did not desire to expose himself to
the misrepresentation that the Imperial govern
'ment sought peace with Rome upon any terms.
Germany recognized the Pope as the head
OF the Catholic Church. but required no
legation at the Vatican. II negotiations with the
Pope are necessary they can be conducted through
the Ambassador to Italy. So long as the Pope
urged the Catholic clergy to break the laws OF the
States in which they live diplomatic relations be-
tween himself and Germany were useless. The
Vatican desired victory for France in the late
war; that could be proved.
In conclusion Prince Bismarck said he would
meet Herr Wlndhorst IN discussion on thus subject
again In the Prussian Diet.
