He asked If the minister of war had author
lied tue army TO assist, and protested against
acts Of barbarity unworthy OF the nation. He
| hoped that better days were about to dawn
for this unhappy country. Constans, Minis
ter Of the Interior and of Worship, said that
| the decress had been executed in accordance
with his orders and on his responsibility. He
stated that Monsignor Frepple had left the
chamber 10 go to Anglers. When the commits.
| sary went to the Jesuit house, the first person
he encountered was Monsignor Freppel, who
himself provoked the violence of which he
now complained. No one could be allowed
to transgrcss laws. Monsiguor Freppcl re-
| Joined, If by decree you can force bolts and
violate domicles, you will do it on all occa-
| sions. With this mode OF proceeding no Sc
! curitty exists. Every election will hencefor-
ward be fought on issue Of public liberty.
