The dark designs conceived by the enemies of the Apostolic See have at length been accomplished. After the violent and urtjut spoliltion of the fairest and most considerable portion of our dominions, we beholdoursely..A, mi lder unworthy pretexts, and with so touch the greater injn‘tice, entirely stripped of our temporal Sovereignty, to wh eh our spi ritual independence is intimiltely united. in the midst of this cruel persecution we are comforted by the retleetitCo, that we encounter such a heavy misfortune, not for any offettee given to the Emperor or to France, which has always been ti:,! object of our ntfeetionate paternal solicitude, nor for any intrigue of W oldly policy, but from an unwillingness to betraybur duties. T. please into and to displease God is not allowed to any one professing the Catholic Religion, and much less can it be per mitted to its Head and Promulgator. As we, besides, owe it to God and the Church, to hand down our rights, ui;iojured and untouched, we protest against this new violent spoliation, and declare it void and null. We reject with the firmest resolution any allowance which the Emperor of the French may inteiuf to assign us. and to the indi- Vitittali composing our College. We tioul,l all rover ourselves with ignominy in the face of the Church, If e sulrered our sub sistence to depend on the power of him who usurps her authority. We cotnruit ourselves enter ely to Providence, and to the ntVec lion of the faithful, and we shall be coatented piously to ter initiate the bittercareer of our sorrowful days. We adore with profound humility God' inscrutable decrees, we invoke his com miseration upon our good subjects. who will ever be our . joy and our crown; and after li tsv l ug i n thi s harlest of trials done what our duties required of us, we exhort them to preserve alwnys aotouched the religion and th? faith, an't to auk,: themselves tv us, for the purpose of conjuring with sighs and tears, both in the closet and before the altar, the Supreme Father of Light, that he may vouchsafe! to change the base designs of our persecutors.

By the authority of God Almighty, and of St. Paul and St. Peter, we declare you, and all your co-operators in the art of violence which you are executing, to have incurred the same Ex communication which we, in our Apostolic letters, contempo raneotdy affixing in the usual places of this city, declare to have been incurred by all those who, on the violent invasion of this City on the second of February of last year, were guilty of the acts of violence against which we have protested, as well really in so many declarations, that by our order have been issued by our snecesive Secretaries of State, as also in two Consistorial Collocatiors of the 16th of March, and the 1 1Th July, ISOB, in common with all their agents, abettors, ndvif•ers, and whoever else have been arcesArkry to, or himself been engaged in, the exe cution of those attempts.

Jvr.x iB.—We have received the following order of the day front Gtellerscloill, w here it was published oo the day after the battle of Wagram ORDER OP TN R 1)41'. 6 6 CCELLIERSOORPF, JULY 7. " In the batt!e of yesterday the troops of the left wing in no respect answered the expectations which I had a right to cherish respecOng them, nor the hopes 1 had formed, the importance of that 41ay considered, from their st rung and advantageous position. The disastrous result of that battle must be ascribed to the con duct of these troops; for as the confusion was general amour them, the retreat was made with too great haste and disorder. I am also, with some exceptions, far from being satisfied with the infantry. Several regiments marched forward too soon, and be gan to fire without any catise. They were besides its crowded together that they fired upon one another. The Officers were not able to rally the larger bodies, which fled in disorder, and thus ground was lost. The confused cry which was heard among the troops drowned the voice of the CoMmanding Officers. " Had the Commanders accustomed their troops to silence, and taught them to attend to nothing hut their orders, the separa tion of the left wing would not have produced such shameful consequences. " In every regiment which shall hereafter conduct itself in a similar manner, the tenth man shall be condemned to die, and the rest of the men shall he distributed among the other regi, men's. The Commanding Officer shall be cashiered, and the other Oficers dismissed. Cries of alarm among the troops shall be punished with death. The troops must only act when orders are given to them, or on the signal of the drum. In most rtigi ments t he drums are placed with the music out of the reach of the tire, hut the Commanding (Meer shall see that all the drums re. turn to their posts, and ;ball take care that the troops under his direction do not fire without orders,.or at too great a distance. " In the evening of the sth, the regiment of A rgentair made such had dispositions, that in the unprofitable retreat to Neust• del, the 2(1 line fired on the Ist, and occasioned great disorder. The regiment of Hesse Nemhttrgh did nothing but wander here and there; sometimes were heard the cry of forward. w here there was no enemy ! General Riese did not conductilimself well at Entzerslorff. On the Bth, in the evening, I did not find him at the head of his troops, and, besides, he did not follow the or ders which were given him respecting the attack. Ile shall be dismised front the servkce of his Majesty. •• The disorder which still prevails among the troops, proves that the Officers of the Staff know not how to apply a remedy. I shall trwielf set the example. I shall, according to the circum sianees, dismiss or cashier such Officers of the Grand Staff, whose troops are not again brought under proper discipline. It Is the shame of the army that so many stragglers and plunderers are found on all the roads, and tr. all the villages. •` CHA RLE3 I Generalissimo." DICREC OR JOSSPH IitIONAPARTE.
