FRANCE. Father Wyaciuthe’s Letter—Ite A doct ta France. By the China at this port we havo Paris journals dated to the 25th of Sepiember, Tho Freach jour- nals continued to discuss the subject of the totter of Father Hyacinthe on the subject of the Papal Coun- cil. Galignani, of Paris, has the following analysis of the comments of the presa:— Pitre Hyacinthe's letter continues to excite a great commotion in tho Paris press, the moderately ttbe- ral and witra demooratic journals praising it highly, while the clerical and legitimist organs condemn tt im the strongest terms. We yesterday gave an ex- tract from the Union repreiending the document, and at present the Nonde, and still more the Vnirers, are not sparing of thelr criticisms and reproachos, M, Veutilot, however, in the last named journal, not- withstanding the bitterness of his appreciation, hopes that the ex-preacher of Notre Dame will not be long tn acknowledging, “if not the error of his heart, at least that of his vanity.” The Pays, which, in a certain measure, forms part of the religious press, expresses the deepest sorrow, aud reminds its readers that the downfall of Lamennais commenced in the same manner. The Debvats again reverts to the topte, and in doing 80 draws attention to the strong opposition which hag of late, it deciares, sprung up against certain dogmas of the Cliurct: of Rome. Our contemporary saya:—The Viirers looks upon one of the most illustrious French ecclesiastics a3 a weak-minded being, and adds:—“For a long time past that worthless fruit fas been detached from the tree. What most tirirates M. Veuillot 19 the phrase relative to society in the nineteenth ¢ tory; he is indignant at seeing that holy robe cas: away on the highway of modera ideas.’ Two centuries ago @ aan, Whom Prance counted among her greatest writers ana the Church among her purest glories, risked 4 proposition con- siderably more daring than shat which now excites the anger of our Ultramontanes:—"1 have deeply refiecied,” wrote that iinstrious bishop, ‘on what you tell me, thas Rome, instead of being moilified by what is granted to ber, takes every concession for an admission of her rights, and employs it to carry ber demands stil! further, I baye understood that fact, bat T have nothing to say to it except that the tshopa Who speak should consider future ages as weil as the present, ana that their strengia consists in saying the truth ag they understand 16." This language no doubt exceeds all the andacity of Father Hyacintie, but we shall not disarm tha anger of M. Veutiot by saving that lie above objec Uonable plirasé 1s extracted from a letter written by Hopsuct QL the 2ath of October, 1868, Lo M. Dixots, hoctor of the Serbonne; for, a9 14 well known, tho Jing of Meaux 14 ranked by the Univers several feet below the tdependent thinkers, The Constitutionnel expresses ttsolt ta sett stronger terms on the same point. It saya:—“But tue letter has a far greater scope than simply a change in the Itfe aud attitude of ove of the nota bilities of the Cathole Church. [1a a symptom of the general situation of the Church iixelf, aod one so Mneh the more significant that it is agolatod, For a long time at Rome an inte has pr domimated which tends to subject the Catholic word to a discipline and to doctrines far wore absolitist than those accepted by our fathers, The abandon ment, without equivalent, of the privileges of the Gailican Church; the suppression of al loval liturgies, the most ancient and venerated; the increasing control Of the bishops; the pretensions and declarations of the Sytiabus; the programme of the approaching Conneil-—such are the principat | signs by which are disclosed those doctrines and those practices ‘which are called Roman,’ says Father Hyacinthe, ‘but are not Christian, and which, in (heir encroachments, aiways more'auda- ctons and more fara, tend to change the constutntion of the Church, the basis as well as (ho fora of her teaching, and even the spirit of her piet, The test of the eminent preacher ts not Aa fact w stands alone. ‘Fhe two letters from Count de Mone ta’embert tothe German Catholics, and the manner in Which thoxe documenta were received, the pro ceedings of te Bavarian Cabivet, the declarations of several eminent theologtans beyond the Khine, the cirediar of the bishops collected at Fulda, are so many facts well worthy the alteniion of the court of Rome, and wluch should likewise be a warning for certain French protate: ‘The stecie observes that the telier which Father Hyacinithe has addressed to the Genural of ms Order 19 not tho frst instance of “failing asnnter’” that tas Leon Cwused by bie wunoURceMsEs as Lie aypCoagle ba eer er oes break the midst vf that bly. This timg the battle will not tubd tree thougbs against the Uhurelt: the war wl be waged by her own children, the Uisnops, priests and Moaks Who protest against the doctrines and ten- dencies of Rome, or who are openly separating trom them." The Temps applauds the letter without any reserve, and declares that “since the middle suc language has been heard in the French 0 arch." The Liber approves high'y of the grave reaola- ton of the wriver, and designates his conduct as “an ae Aes Conscience rather than am indication of Perhaps the unkindest cus of all, to the Church, comes from the Aevet! thus:—"Mon of tie black robe and of the white robe, you may well burn that which you have adered, and offer tncouse to that which ‘ou have insulted, The divorce between youand us Accomplisied. Your clover tactics have had thew day; You shal: not bless our trees of Liberty,” ‘The National, commenting on the utterance last quia.
