Canadian Politics.


MONTREAL, Dec. 8.-The recent letter of the
bishop OF st. Hyacinthe, practically placing
u Etole du Matin under the bar OF his and
the bishop of Montreal's jurisdiction, has cre-
ated the unexpected excitement in political
circles. Senator Bell Rose writes a very dig
nlhed rejoinder, in which he takes the bishop
OF st. Hyacinthe to task for having ventured
to ban newspaper before he could have
means OF judging of its quality. He deplores
this use made of the functions of the Bishop
and foreshadows at all hazards the publica-
ton of the newspaper. The bishop of Three
rivers is believed to stand alone in favor of
the new publication, and is looked for to pub
ish counter letter to that of the bishop of St.
Hyacinthe. These dissensons have served
SILL further to ALLEVIATE the sympathies of the
ultramontanes conservatives from the liberal
conservative party now in power, and the
strange spectacle is witnessed of the ultramon-
haters of all that liberal seeking an alIi-
ance with the liberal or radical reform party of
Quebec province, with which they have been
for century at war.

OTTAWA, Dec. 8.-A telegram was received
