religious DEGREES should be suspended until the law
Courts shall have decided upon the actions already

New York, Sept. ia special to the Herald
from Paris says =" We are in the throes of a serious
Ministerial crisis. unexplainable by any other cause
than e determination on the part of Gambetta's
creatures in the Cabinet to rid themselves Of Nj De
Freycinet. whose moderation, integrity, and indie
pendence of character, and, above all, unity of views
with President Grevy. do not suit the President of
the Chamber. The circumstances that have led to
the breaking up Of the Ministry have all pointed to
this conclusion, and Nj. De Freycinet's speech at
Montauban furnished the desired pretext. So clearly
has the influence of Gambetta been maintained in
the matter that even the opposition journals have
been gloating over it for eight or ten days past as
being certain to bring about the fall of the Ministry ;

De Freycinet falls because in his Montauban speech
he declared the Government would pursue its policy
without clustering. which was n reply to Gambettas
Cherbourg speech, and to the clustering policy
therein enunciated. He falls because he publicly
ventured to throw of Gambetta's eading-strings
Berlin, September 2l-The great subject Of dis
cussion in the German papers is the Ministerial crisis
in Paris. Journals of all shades Of opinion are fairly
unanimous IN expressing suspicion and dread OF
Gambetta. Several speak of his policy of revenge,
whilst the Rsichbote (Conservative) concludes an
article in this language - In summoning this
Ministry, President Grevy is digging his own grave.
Gambetta will before long have filled all Ministerial
and diplomatic posts with his creatures. He will
then replace Grevy. Gambetta's name signifies war
to the knife against the Church and revenge against
Germany"
