( Sensation . ) If the author of the proposition before him wished to with- draw it , the question would be at an end .

But who could exer- cise influence over the destinies of France ? ( Noise on the Left . ) I move that the proposition be read , and then , afterwards , we can see what we shall have to do . " The _Fjiesiiibnt : I proceed to consult the Assembly . " Numerous Voices : No , no ! the previous question ! the previous question ! " The Pkksident : I cannot take upon myself the responsibility of reading this proposition . I must take the opinion of the Assembly on that point . " The Assembly having decided by a small majority , that it should be read ( the whole of the Left voting ior that course ) , the President proceeded to read the _]> roposition . " Art . 1 .

It consists of two Chambers , elected by the States and by some very small fraction of the people , and is intended to supply tho place of the defunct Frankfort Assembly in giving a constitution to Germany , and laying the foundation of national unity . The States agreeing ¦ with Prussia in the formation of this Parliament aro , however , only the smaller principalities , except- ins ; even from among them Ilolstein-Lauenburg .

But Hanover has su ; pended all diplomatic relations . _Following in the _policy of Hanover the King of Wurtemberg , in his speech on opening the Chambers , at Stuttgardt , on the 15 th inst ., pronounced his dissent irom the Prussian scheme of _\ mity , cha- racterising it as " visionary ; " and Prussia has there- upon withdrawn her ambassador . The Prussian Foreign Secretary , M .

Ecclesiastical Agitation. The Decision O...
ECCLESIASTICAL AGITATION . The decision of the Judicial Committee of Privy Council in the case of Gorham versus the Bishop of Exeter has been the provocative of important move- ments in the Church . A meeting in London last week of clergymen from dioceses throughout England protested that the doctrine of Mr . Gorham , upheld by the decision , is a doctrine heretical and contrary to the creed ; a declaration , signed by Archdeacon Manning , Dr . Pusey , and Dr . Mills , the two Wilber- forces , Mr . Keblc , Mr . Bennett , and the barristers , Mr . Hope and Mr . Baddelcy , with other active Anglo- Catholics , contains the assertion that , if the church abandon the catholic doctrine of the article on baptism " she forfeits the office and authority to witness and teach as a member of the Universal Church , " and «• can no longer assure to its members the grace of the Sacraments , and the remission of sins . " Our London Church Union set the example of sympathy with the Bisho _} i of Exeter by an address , This produced a reply , in the course of which he says , " It seems but too likely that we are as yet only in the commencement of the fight of faith appointed to us . " Other church unions throughout the country are fol- lowing the example of the London body . The refusal of the Bishop of London to concur in the judgment against the ' Bishop of Exeter has _elicited _^ ome weighty _demonstrations of approval . Mr llichnrd Cavendish , of Belgrave-square , has pub- lished the following address to the bishop , and reply by him : — " We , the undersigned ( lay ) members of the Church of England in your Lordship ' s Diocese , being deeply impressed with a . sense of the dangers to the faith and vitality of the Church of England , which the judgment i » the case of Gorham « . the Bishop of Exeter involves ; of its certaiu tendency to destroy the buna Jdcs of all subscription to religious tests ; and of the _general unfit- ucss of a Court so composed as the Judicial Committee of tho Plh 7 Counoil for lhc treatment of questions of Christian doctrine ; entreat your Lordship to take _c-onnsel with your right rev . brethren concerning the ap- plication of a remedy to these evils , and particular y
