France Budget Debates and Clergy in Decline
The Dublin Journal reports on the French Chamber of Deputies debating the Budget with the humiliating admission that youth education suffers from immorality among adults. Observations by M. Laine paint the Gallic Church as deplorable with 17 episcopal sees vacant and archbishop salaries near 1000 a year. The Interior Minister faces questions as the chamber adjourns, while a grain import regulation resembling England’s Corn Laws is proposed. A Bourdeaus tribunal clears two conspiracy defendants linked to the hundred days, and others mischaracterized by Minerve are revealed as observers. A woman cites Nap Yuri as a defendant in sedition, the widow of Marshal Buoye sues for libel, and DrapeauНа’s health improves.
