| GOES HIS TRIP TO THE JURA.
PARIS, Sept. 10. 1880.
| In France states that Premier do Freycnet
has defnItively rendered his resignation.
| The Ministerial crisis was renewed this morning
because of the divergence of views between NJ. de
Freycinet and NJ. Constan, relative to the appca-
tion of the religious DEGREES. President Grevy has
again been obliged TO postpone lis departure Tor the
Jura and will preside at Cabinet Council to be
held at o'clock this afternoon.
The letter of NJ Constaus. Minister Of the Inte-
rIor and Worship to the Archbishops, declining TO
accept thedeclaraton signed 6y the religious con-
fraternites a substitute for demand iOr author
izatIon. says the Government willingly takes note
of the resolution manifested in the declaration to
disclam any solidarity with political parties or
passion; but, as regards the hope expressed by the
declaration, that the Government would allow
the communities to continue the work IN which
they engaged, he declares that the object Of the
second decree of March 20 was precisely to put an
end to the liberation which the communities desire
to see maintained and to substitute for it return
to legal state OF things.
Jules Ferry has been charged by President Cre7y
with the formation of new Cabinet.
NJ de Freycluet has sent the following letter to
President Grevy:
After mature reflection have to the conclusion
that the Cabinet canaOt be reconstructed NJ II was yes
tween several OF my colleagues and myself there exist
div rgences OF opinion which leave no room for nope
tuat accord may 0e maintained at the cost OF
mutual concessions. such state or things II prolonged
would be Injurious to the interests and Tranquility OF
the country. Believing that retirement will offer
the most prompt means OF solving the crisis, beg you
to accept my resignation
President Grevy. receiving this letter, sum-
moned NJ de Freycnet, and in conjuction with
several other Minister'S. tried to induce him to
call his resignation. but Nj. de Ereycnet refused,
and President Grevy finally accepted the resIgna-
tlon soon after Ministers Constans, Cazot aud
Fare had long conversation with President
Grevy. Ultimately NJ. jules Ferry was charged
with the formation of Cabinet.
HOW THE DIsCoRD REVIVED.
Regarding the sudden change in the position of
affairs since Saturday, when the differences of
opinion between NJ. de Freycinet and his colleagues
appeared to be compromised, it appears that NJ.
de Freycinet had further consultation with Min
isters Constans and Cazot during which it became
manifest that the agreement which was established
at the Cabinet Council was unreal, and that the
divergence OF views between NJ. de Freycinet and
his colleagues was iTreconcilable.
The SOir says NJ Jules Ferry mas a ready offered
the Ministry of Marine to Admiral Pothuan. Sew
eral papers consider that the Cabinet crisis will
necessltate early assembling of the Chambers.
Admiral Jaureguibery, Minister OF Marlne and
u. Varroy, Minister of Public Works have resigned
President Grevy has summoned NJ. Gambetta, who
it IS quite evident that NJ. Gambetta is the real
author OF the present crisis.
The discords In the French Cabinet may be

effect that the policy Of the Government in regard to
the religious cenfraernities would depend upon their
own conduct, nmatIng that he intended TO bring in
bill which would settle in general manner the legal po
sitIon of all lay and religious associations. This
was condemned by NJ. Gambetta, aud effort
was recently to call the Republican Deputies

the prompt enforcement Of the DEGREES against rel gOu
coniraternities On Saturday. three minsters-M.
