the Absurdity OF the fiat in question, and
has consequently issued an order super
seding the decree alluded to. Among the
reasons for doing so we fiod the folio wing !:
g. There ia no consistorial church at
Auxerre. but only a chapel. IN which
sbout $50 people protesting the Protestant
creed meet. In past years no trouble has
ever arisen from the outward ceremonies Of
arecognized Church, and none ia to he ap

been prompted rather by political motives
than by care for public order" All honor
to this courageous man. who will now have
to bear the venomous aspersions of sill the
iufidels of France. We are happv to cay
that in the large town of st. Etienne q
proposal to prohibit Catholic processions
was defeated in the municipa, council on
the 2sth ult. by majority of l3 against 10,
showing that even in this man ufacturing

he cried aloud "shentlemens, there will be g
