The Paris correspondent of the Guardian -nmmunicates some interesting information fjotiTe to the leader of the new anti-Papal Srement in Paris. The Abbe Michaud is ot"tbe" vicar of,but "a" vicar "at," the Madeleine, which is precisely synonymous fjonr saving that the Rev Mr So-and-so is "one of the curates at St. George's." The rfafiof clergy at the Madeleine consists—first ffthe newly"appointed cure or rector (in the otece of the Abbe Duguerry), M. Le Rebours, « strong Ultramontane, and who was installed (or read in) only on the 2nd instant, wot to him come M. Pajot, called first vicar, and M. Duclos, called second vicar. The former is very popular in the parish, which would gladly have seen him appointed cure ; bat hierarchical traditions, and perhaps also the moderation of his opinions, interfered, it is said, with such promotion. There are besides nine others called simply vicars or curates of whom M. Michaud is the last but one in the list, having been appointed by the late Archbishop in 18(50. He was born in 1839 and ordained in 1864, having been orieinaily of the Dominican Order, and associated with the Pere Lacordaire. He subsequently, however entered the ranks of the secular clergy 'H e is known personally to many 0 f our own leading clergy and laity in England. He has visited Oxford, snd possesses the rare advantage (among the French clergy) of understanding English as well as German. He is considered, though young, to be a very well Tead man— greatly superior in that respect to the Pere Hyacinthe. The Abbe Michaud knows probably more of the position and doctrines and writings of the English Church and churchmen than the whole French episcopacy put together, who are grossly ignorant both of oar language and literature, and indeed of almost everything except their own side of the question. The Guardian correspondent expresses himself more than doubtfully as to the chances of M. Michaud finding much support in France. He points out, as a fact lobe noted, that although the Temps and the JDebats both published bis letter, neither of those journals has given him a word of encouragement.
