He in tended holding a meeting at the east front of tbe capitol, but ascertaining that objection would be raised by tbe authorities there, be gave notice late this afternoon that the city hall had been selected.

M. at the headquarters of the Workinemen's Relief . Association, and under his leadership to march to every point where laboring men are at work for less than $1 50 per day, and compel them to stop. Protection tn Case of Blot.

Following is the text of a portion of Gambetta's speech at Rouen on Wednesday against ultramonists: ; ihe clerical question, that is to say,tho question of relations , between anarch . and state, keeps all other questions in suspense nere. it is that spirit of the church which takes refuge and gathers strength that I de nounce. An ever increasing danger to society run from the ultramontane spirit the spirit of the Vatician and of the syllabus which is nothing but abuse of ignorance with the pur pose of enslaving it I have spoken of the relations between church and state. I am perfectly aware that to be correct I should have said the relations between the churches and state; bat from the governmental and na tional point of view it is only uitramontaine ism which persists in opposition to the state. The critical spirit endeavors to filtrate into everything into the army, into magistracy and there is this that is peculiar; it is a'wayr when the fortune of the country- is falling that Jesuitism rises. Far be it from me to wish to put shackles on liberty. I am an ob stinate partisan of the liberty of conscience; but ministers of religion have duties to the State, and what we exact is fulfillment of these duties and to apply the laws, all the laws, and then abolish indulgences. If law is applied order will be restored in France 1 without persecution bv simnlv continuing tra ditions which prevailed." Good Advice. Paris, Sept 22. The RepubUque Fran- tame, in an article on the unsettled state of Europe, advises France not to enter into any engagements. It says that the perilous times are not yet over, and still less the era of allur ing offers. Tbe article is regarded as a reply to a revived rumor that England recommended France to take possession of Tunis. Aastrlans Advancing;. London, Sept 22.
