FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
The French Cabinet Crisis.

PARIS, Sept. 2O.-At the cabinet council on
saturday last to consider the designations of NJ.
M. COnstans, CazOt and Fabre, Premier De Frey
cinet said If the only difficulty was the embar-
rassment In which the suspension of the de-
creeS placed NJ. COnStanS, because the latter
had already issued instructions to the projects
hich would now have to be countermanded
that could be Smoothed over by NJ ConStaaS
submitting to the cabinet a list OF the religious
establishments he proposed to close without
awaiting the decision OF the tribunal of con-
tiicts and the cabinet could discuss and decide
on each proposal as some of the congregations,
such as the Passiontsts, for instance, are not
recognized by the Vatican, and the DEGREES
might be enforced against them without dill
Guilty. NJ ConStans accepted this proposal and
the designations were withdrawn. An hour
later Premier De Freycinet learned that note
emanatfDg from the ministry OF the interior
had been sent through the HovaS agency stat
Ing that Premier De Freycinet had capitulated
leaving NJ. Constans free to decide on an oppor-
tune enforcement of the DEGREES. Premier De
Freycnet demanded that denial of this be
published In the Journal Ottcial. NJ. Constans
and NJ. CaZOt objected. Premier de Freyctnet
premier's resignation would be the easiest way
OF solving the crisis. This difference with NJ
Constans was the ostensible reason of NJ. De
Freycinet's resignation. The real reason eyi-
IDENTIFY was that NJ. De Freycinet had no choice
between submission and resignation.
NJ. GRmbetta and MI. de Freycinet.
M. Gambetta returned to Paris Friday even
ing. He and NJ: Constans had a long interview
vi.
COnStans has been acting under nj. Gambetta's
advice and that NJ. de Freycinet's Montauban
speech was the beginning Of conflict between
him and NJ Gambetta, which had no chance OF
compromise but must result in NJ. de Freyc-
nets surrender or resignation, unless he proves
stronger than M. GambetJa. The laNer's
friends express the belief that NJ. de FreyciaeJ
wishes to be elected life senator and then
aspire to the leadership Of the anti-Gambetttst
section Of the republicans.
