'THE SUN, LON VON, TUESDAY EVKINING, JAMIARY 7, 1868. MISCELLANEOUS FOREIGN NEWS. ROME, Dec. 28. Christmas in all its Roman splendour has passed in peace. We had great accessions of visitors in the preceding week ; stagnant hotels and apart ments were called into all their' normal winter activity, and the streets were filled with luggage laden vehicles. The attendance at the English Protestant service on the last Sunday of Advent was estimated to amount to between 500 and 600, and there are many English Catholics also, though they have hardly gathered in as great force as usual. Other countrie3 are represented in larger propor tion, arid probably the major part swelled the congregation at S. Peter's at the High Mass, but a few thousands more or less makes very little difference in the appearance it presents on such occasions. The Pope sang the Mass with a voice as firm and clear as usual, and as he was afterwards borne &oft through the church ample opportunity was afforded to the kneeling thousands to observe that the hand which was raised to bless them retained all its energy, and that the :frame of the venerable Pontiff shows none of the signs of decay his ad versaries are so fond of predicating. Cardinal Antonelli did not officiate as first dea con on this occasion ; hewas overcome by an attack a indisposition during the service in the Sistine Chapel on Sunday. Still, though he did not feel equal to this exertion, he occupied his place among the cardinals, and was looking tolerably well. He is, indeed, almost recovered. I am •not, however, going to speak of the func tion in detail. It has often been described, and every time I assist at it I feel more and more how inadequate any language is to help in reproducing the impression it conveys. The matchless strains of the " silver trumpets," and the scarcely less sil ver-toned choir, must be heard in that particular area, unrivalled in its acoustic perfection; the solemn gathering-in of all the nations of the earth must be stood among, and the perfect freedom and equality of all classes in the throng—the cosmo politan at-homeness of all present—must be felt within that spacious fane, amid the relics and effigies of the holy ones of all time ; the artistic, albeit spontaneous, grouping of worshippers, and massing of colours and costumes, must ba seen, forming the background and framework to the glorious shrine where all that is richest and no blest and most beautiful of this world's production is collected into one harmonious aggregate to attest to an unbelieving world that God sitteth in the heavens. No words can convey, and no mind can call up for itself the image of a scene so complicated in its actual production. But there was a feature in this year's Christmas celebration at S. Peter's which must not be passed over, and that is the traces to be observed there of the present crisis of the fortunes of the Temporal Power. First, there were shining on the breasts of the numerous Italian soldiers, born subjects of the Pope, who variegated the throng—Guardie Nobile and National Guard, no less than the regu lar soldiers of the line, Gendarmes, Dragoons, and Cacciatori—the new cross, the token of how their ranks had been distinguished for their loyal bravery in - defence of their country and its Go vernment. Then there were in the envied posi tion of keeping the line of the venerable pro cession the Zouaves, in their free and easy cos tume, looking, as they have ever proved them selves, ready for any work requiring pluck and alertness. And lastly, the groups of newly-arrived defenders of the rights of the Holy See, display ing, in the ardent devotion, admiration, and awe with which their first sight of the overpowering vision of the place manifestly inspired them, qua lities which will replace what they may have yet to acquire in smartness of drill. Such men may be borne down by overpowering numbers, but as you see them you feel that nothing less will repulse them. The day was brilliant in the extreme ; the sky of a hue never attained by the most frantic efforts of a London June, and the sunlit air mocked the sharpest efforts of the keen Trarnontana, to re mind us of the weather which is making our northern friends shiver even round their flaming pudding and their blazing logs Nothing could be imagined more animated than the scene on the bridge of S. Angelo, crowded with the string of privileged carriages, to which those of some Austrian and Spanish cardinals lent effects of colour such as few of the local cardinals display. And by its side poured two streams of gladsome people rejoicing in the festive season in all the lightness of their southern hearts. The distribution of the new decorations to the soldiers took place in the Piazza of S. Peter's on Monday, General Kanzler presiding. Detach ments of all the corps in Rome were present, and defiled before him. Among them I noticed one of the young Princes Rospialissi, in the uniform of a simple private in the Artillery. There was a great concourse of people of all classes, though, of course, nothing like the numbers one is used to see assembled within the same space at the great functions. The weather was brilliant, though cold. The Pope assisted at the ceremony from a window of one of his apartments during a short time. He had in the morning presided at the obsequies of Cardinal Ugolini, at S. Salvatore, in Laura, who was buried on Monday night in a vault under Sta. Marie, in Via Lata, his titular church. Senor Alesandro de Castro, the Spanish Am bassador, whose arrival I mentioned some weeks ago, had the honour of a grand reception at the Vatican on Monday, and a conference of some length with the Pope. It was observed that he wentat the same time and in the same state to pay his devotions at the shrine of S. Peter. In the evening there was a grand reunion at the Pa lazzo di Espagno, which was numerously attended, the Piazza being illuminated and the military bands playing there according to the usual custom. That at the Austrian Ambassador's, next week, is 'expected to be still more brilliant. The officers of the Pontifical army had an audi ence yesterday to present their New Year's wishes. The King and Queen of Naples go to the Vatican to-day. These receptions take place, you see, rather early here, as the Nativity is considered to be more actually the capo d'anno than New Year's Day itself. The Pope has, I hear, presented several of the churches despoiled by the Garibaldians, with new vestments and vessels for the altar. Cardinal d'Andrea has signed and transmitted by the hands of Cardinal Antici-Mattei the re tractation required of him by the Pope. Some further penance will probably be imposed, such as living in retirement for a longer or shorter period. Another case of ecclesiastical discipline is being talked of just now—that of the Coptic Patriarch, Abraham Casciur, whose history is almost roman tic. He first came to Rome in 1826, under the Pontificate of Leo XII., being then only twenty two, and studied at the College of the Propa ganda. Though not remarkable for his intelligence, he had plenty of astuteness. One day a forged letter was received at the Vatican, purporting to come from Mahomet Ali, informing the Pope con fidentially that the schismatic patriarch of the Copts was dead, and that the Copts only waited for a Catholic patriarch to be sent them to de clare themselves Catholics, and designating young Cascihr as specially meet for the office. So well was the forgery carried out, that the Court of Rome did not discover it, but acted in accordance with the advice given. By means of other for geriJs Casciiir had likewise given himself out to be the son of a man of substantial means, and lately ennobled. Under the circumstances, the disability regarding his age was dispensed, and he was ordained priest, then consecrated bishop, and finally was canonically invested with the dig nity of United-Patriarch of the Copts, with resi dence at Alexandria. His rank was acknow ledged by interchange of visits with the other members of the prelature, and furnished with the ornaments and ',insignia of his exalted office he started to take possession of his new province. Up to this point all his schemes had been worked out with an even flow of success. Ecclesiastical prudence, however, provided a safeguard on which he had not counted. Having regard to his youth and inexperience, and the difficulties of the attend ing work he had undertaken to accomplish, a Roman prelate, Mgr. Canestrari, was ordered to accompany him in the character of adviser. The uneasiness which this addition to his staff occa sioned, could not but attract the notice of Mgr. Canestrari, and this embarrassment increased in proportion as they neared their destination. Ar rived in port Casciiir hesitated to disembark. Puzzled how to act, Mgr. Canestrari landed, and begged the French Consul to acquaint the Pacha with the arrival of the new Patriarch. Mahomed Ali, who, of course, expected nothing of the sort, was furious at the news, and declared he would have Casciiir's head if he ventured to set foot in Alexandria. This, of course, brought about an explanation, and inquiries discovered the fact that his father, instead of being a great man, was a merchant in a very small way of business. . There was nothing left for Mgr. Canestrari but to bring his, man back to Rome, where, at his trial, he was condemned to imprisonment for life, after being deposed from the sacred office into which he had thrust himself by such unworthy means. The Republican Government in 1848 opened his prison doors, and, moreover, sought to make him their tool by inducing him to take the Pope's part in the Easter functions at S. Peter's, which they wished to parody in his absence, in order to impose on the people. But Casciiir had in the meantime become a wiser and a better man. He not only refused to have anything to do with their scheme, but the moment the Pontifical Go vernment was re-established, testified the sincerity of his repentance by returning, of his own accord, to fulfil the remainder of his sentence. Pius IX. remitted it, and gave him permission to live at large, provided he lived a retired life. Having stood satisfactorily the test of this further proba tion, he has lately received permission to resume the ecclesiastical costume and to celebrate Mass. We have been saved this week from a blunder which would have been eagerly misinterpreted by those who are ever on the watch for anything that can be found fault with here. It would seem that some members of the sect called Fenians when in England, and Mazzinians when here, but whose practices bear a strong family likeness everywhere, had arranged to have a grand funeral Mass celebrated at one of the churches, with special solemnity, in favour of their three mem bers executed at Manchester, having led the clergy of the chuich to believe that it was for the souls of three British subjects among the Papal troops who had fallen at Mentana. Of course, it was in tended to keep the real object of the office con- cealed till the time of its celebration, and then to have made a demonstration, which seems to be part of the favourite tactics of the sect, but which would have been readily construed by people who have little knowledge of how matters are arranged here, into an act of sympathy of the Pontifical Government. The church had been already pre pared for the service in question ; but as it was pretty well known that only one English Catholic was killed at Mentana, a doubt was suggested by some one in time to investigate the matter, when the nature of the design was discovered, and the demonstration, of course, stopped. It has led further to the discovery of an unsatisfactory spirit in a certain number of the lately- arrived Irish recruits, in consequence of which about a score were declined, and had to leave last Saturday. A rather larger number will return under similar circumstances to-morrow ; all their homeward ex penses will be paid for them. The greatest pains are being taken to keep out all pernicious elements, and to admit none but such as bring with them satisfactory testimonials. There seems to be no limit to the number of anxious candidates, and they are coming in at the rate of two hundred a week. We have great numbers of Dutchmen, who are said to be the steadiest men of their respective parishes; the accepted Irish, too, are very fine soldierly fellows ; some had formerly served in the Irish Brigade in 1860 ; one who was officer then has come back to take his place modestly in the rank and file, like a mere recruit. A great number are also offering from Spain and from Canada, and a large draught, got together by the exertions ini tiated by the Mayence meeting, are expected to arrive shortly. Several young Englishmen of good family have entered the depot just lately. The best spirit continues to pervade the whole regiment. The calm prepossession with which some of them speak of having come out to die is quite touching, and the steady resolution with which they go through their depot work, which is trying enough, shows they have perseverance as well as enthusiasm. A breathing space seems to be providentially afforded to aguerrir them, but the enemy is not idle either, and only a few days ago Nicotera and Averti passed through Rome on their way to the Neapolitan kingdom, doubtless bound on some mischievous errand. The Allocution pronounced by bis Holiness at the Concistorio Segreto, last week, has been pub lished. It speaks generally of the troubles of the Holy See at the present time, and the lessons to be derived from them, without any special poli tical allusion. The opening sentence may serve to show the spirit of confidence in Divine Provi dence in which it is conceived :—" It has ever pleased Almighty God, who is abundant in mer cies, and who comforteth us in every tribulation, to mingle our joys and sorrows. Let us, therefore, trust in Him always, venerable brethren, and letting no difficulties appal us, pursue the right path with a spirit ever more full of courage, and continue to fight in the cause of His Holy Church, fulfilling, without tiring, all that appertains to our apostolic ministry." He then proceeds to show what encouragement is to be drawn from the manifest protection God has extended over the Church and its head (" Il Signore benigno e misericordioso con mirabili por tend assiste la sua chiesa e assiste Noi"), as well as from his guiding the hearts of the faithful to so great zeal in his cause—as shown in the late de monstration of the French Chamber in favour of the Temporal Power of the Holy See ; the loyal attitude of its subjects; the loving willingness of the Catholic people of both sexes to contribute of their means to replenish its treasury ; the earnest ness of writers, both clerical and lay, in defending it from the falsehoods of its enemies; the deter mined valour of the host of champions who have come to offer their lives in its service ; the devo tion of parents, who have not withheld their own children from the field of danger; and in the success which attends the missionary labours of the Church in the conversion of souls and the multiplication of religious institutions. After enlarging on all these motives of thank fulness, he urges intercession on behalf of those who have been led astray, and particularly for those who have been made prisoners in the late engagements. And then he winds up thus : "And before concluding, we cannot help render ing, in the gratitude of our soul, hearty and well merited praise to those, one and all, who, by their voice, their pen, the offering of their worldly goods, still more of their life, or by any other work, have been forward to labour in the Church's cause. Neither shall we fail to beseech Almighty God humbly and fervently, in every prayer of ours, for all those children of His Church who are so dear to us, that He, from whom cometh every good and perfect gift, will pour out on these, His cham pions, the most abundant fruits of His grace, and all His heavenly benedictions." There was a letter from the Pope also read in the churches of Rome on Sunday, reproving various vices of the times, such as indifference to holy things, swearing, and more especially the display in dress c,f the women of the present day. The north wind, which has been visiting us for some days past, is not very propitious for the hos pitals.' don't know if you are tired of hearing about our wounded, but I must tell you of another trait which has come under my notice, lately, of the cowardly nature of the assaults of which our men have been the victims. There lies in one of the beds as fine a type as could be found of the best class of South Italian physique ; he has been suffering there for more than two montbs ; and how do you think he was injured ? It was on one of the nights when the greatest anxiety for the safety of Rome was felt. He was under the arch of the S. Spirito with another ndarme, when they saw a p latoon of some sixteen men, to all ap pearances Z ouaves, go by with a rapid step, as if bent on so) ne important errand. With charac teristic bray ery they immediately made up to them and asked to 3 share their exploit. They had scarcely done so when the whole party surrounded and at tacked them in the most ferocious manner. By good fortune his comrade succeeded in escaping out of their hands with only one slight wound. He got four .bayonet thrusts, one piercing his leg, another his:right arm, a third running through the fleshy part of the thigh, and the fourth piercing the abdom en. That of the leg was the worst wound, as :in the other cases the bone just escaped, but the flee h was cut through and through, “.mak ing a com-plete hole," to usehis own (perhaps somewhat Hibernian, but forcible) description— just like this cigar." The miscreants had dressed themselves up in imitation Zouave suits made for the purpose in Florence, and had obtained arms— which by their pattern would carry out the decep tion still further—by a raid on the hospital a few hours earlier. Having performed the bold feat of (as they thought) killing a man wheneight to one, they made off. The next day a strict order was issued to all the Zouaves to make certain changes in the mode of wearing their uniform, such as leaving off their white linen gaiter-covers. The travestied Garibaldians were thus readily detected by the extreme attention they paid to have every. thing exactly according to regulation, and a consi derable number were taken before they could do further mischief. Our gendarme, left on the pave ment for dead, was picked u p s h or tly after, but not till he had lost a great deal of blood. He is, I am happy to say, going on remarkably well, but will be disabled for some time yet. Mgr. Petitjean, Vicar Apostolic of Japan, who, in the course of his visitations has made some very interesting discoveries of Christian populations, which have preserved their faith ever since the Mis sions of the 17th century, is expected to arrive shortly in Rome. Pius IX. is said to take a special interest in the East and its religious needs. One of the sections of the Commission of Preparation for the Council is directed to the consideration of the state of the Church in the East, and though the promulgation of the Council is adjourned, this section at least has not suspended its labours. MUNICH, Dec. 29. From our Prussian Satrapy, the former kingdom of Bavaria, I can send you no political news. All the depositories of political power here are mere instruments in the hands of Count Bismarck. Even the so-called representatives of the people are well aware that they are nothing less than re presentatives of the people. They know no other. vocation than that of being "most worshipful and devoted" underlings of the Ministry for the time being, helping with blustering voices to under mine the last remnants of the independence of their country, and to root out all sympathy, not only for the independence of Bavaria, but for the Royal throne of Bavaria itself. These men of progress are making indeed brilliant progress ; the people from day to day are made to feel a growing dis gust with every thing that bears the name of Ba varian. Come now what may—let the Prussians come—let the French—let the crash of revolution —our people fears now nothing more. " Matters cannot be worse than they are—perchance better for the change." This is the conclusion come to by the people, and this can be heard in all public places ; and many even sensible people are firmly convinced that this has been so planned by Prussia, and is being purposely carried on throughout Bavaria, to clear the way for Prussia, and to trans form all the impulses of patriotic opposition into feelings of disgust. Perhaps this may not be altogether wide of the mark ; but whether the cal culation be a just one remains yet to be proved. Very soon warlike events may intervene and give the sturdy Bavarian an opportunity of casting off the Alp that is weighing him down in a manner which has not entered into Count Bismarck's cal culations. _ It is especially in the department of religious affairs that the Government is designedly employed in undermining itself. Where else, in all the i 3 anything to bo seen comparable to the manner in which the inspired Government paper here dealt with the Roman question ? This paper, in an almost exclusively Catholic capital of an almost exclusively Catholic country, takes part with Garibaldi, and deplores the assistance ren dered to the Pope by France ! The First Mi nister of this country is a Catholic nobleman, the brother of the Prince Hohenlohe, Archbishop and Papal Chamberlain, against whom the mur derous plots of the Garibaldians have been' in cessantly directed. In the meantime, the un happy Catholics of Munich were prevented making their offerings to the Holy Father, such collections requiring official permission, and this permission being withheld from week to week by our worthy Minister. The collection, which is now at last commenced, has just re ceived a very welcome encouragement in the splendid offering of Prince Charles von Lowenstein, the uncle of the legitimate heir to the Portuguese throne, who is already a Papal Zouave, although his tender age prevents his taking part in the glorious warfare in defence of the Holy Father. Prince Charles von Lowenstein's offer ing consists of a large quantity of massive plate ; and from its beautiful workmanship, in addition to the value of the metal, it may well be worth a couple of thousand pounds sterling. Last week an incident occurred here which' though in itself of small importance, is so charac teristic as a sign of the times, that I cannot pass it over in silence. Dietz, the eminent painter of battle scenes, has hung up for exhibition a new picture, as is the custom, in the art union ; the picture is not for sale. It was painted for Duke Ernest of Coburg. Now, in this painting, Duke Ernest of Coburg appears in front as Commanding General at the battle of Langeusalza. Necessa rily it excites no little astonishment here that the Duke should have himself painted in such an attitude. The battle of Langensalza is an event as yet too fresh, and the impression too lively, which the circumstances attending it made in all Germany, and the universal indignation aroused by them against this Duke Ernest of Coburg, too deeply felt to allow the public to pass without remark the want of historical truth in this his torical painting. Accordingly, our gallant Volksbote set itself to work, and has brought to light the following facts, the accuracy of which it has satisfied itself of,:and set them before the astonished public in its ex cellent little paper. In this paper we read the following facts. This very Duke Ernest of Coburg did not even once show himself in the battle in which he forced his poor Coburgers to sacrifice themselves to the moloch of Bismarckism. During the action he sat in his carriage behind the line-of battle, far out of shot. He was in plain clothes, but had taken care to bring his uniform with him, that he might put it on in case of victory. But it was destined to be otherwise. Instead of victory came Hanoverian blows, plentifully dealt out. In consequence whereof the duke was the first to seek safety, and to keep his skin whole in Gotha. The assertion that he rallied his flying Coburgers was long since, as is well known, dis proved by the narrative of a Prussian officer. PARIS, Dec. 31. As a great many people in England believe that the Emperor of the French made a great mistake when he ordered his troops to return again to Rome, it will, perhaps, be of some inte rest to many of your readers to know the reasons that brought about that conservative measure. The people in France, although very indifferent in matters of religion, have great respect for the Pope. They look upon him as the pivot of order, and, as they placed Louis Napoleon on the throne in order, by carrying out the coup cretat, to relieve France from the Republican Government, so they wish for the sake of order to keep the Pope on his throne, knowing well that he represents secu rity, order, and the moral power of the world. This feeling is universal in France, in every class of society. Let any one travel in France, and he will have the proof of it. The religious men in France uphold the necessity of keeping the Pope at ti Rome by the name arguments used by good Catho lies -in England; the indifferent in religion look upon it as essential to order, in the same . way that they like to see their wives go to chuich, though they seldom go to church themselves. Even the infidels see the:necessity of supporting the Pope, as the honour of France is pledged. How often is this phrase not heard? It will be a disgrace for France if the present Pope does not die in Rome ; our honour has been wounded in Mexico, it must not be wounded a second time in Rome. Every shade of opinion in France puts forward arguments of its own ; some based on religion, others on selfish motives, honour or pride,lbut all agree as to the necessity of intervention. The speeches of Garibaldi, at Geneva, showed that he was at the head of the Fenians in Italy. The praises these speeches received in the red Fenian newspapers of France, showed that he was the mouthpiece of the Fenians in France. Similar praises were lavished on Garibaldi by most of the English newspapers, showing that if there are green Fenians in Ireland, that there exists also red Fenians in England. The Fenians of all coun tries walk hand in hand ; they have one oath of alliance, one object in common, the destruction of religion, the only barrier of order, and. the only safeguard to society. Louis Napoleon, seeing the daring spirit of the Fenians, and belonging to the same sect by his Carbonari oath, thought that his safest plan was to place himself at their head; and resolved to betray the Pope. He told France that they could rely upon Italy to carry out the September Convention, and at the same time pressed Garibaldi and Victor Emmanuel to go to Rome quickly. The Empress herself was in the treasonable plot, saying to her husband, "If you frustrate the Italian Fenians your life, my life, and that of our son will be in danger from the bombs of a second Orsini." The complicity of the Italian Government with the attack on Rome is seen in the easy escape of Garibaldi from Caprera, :the special train provided at Florence, and the permission given to the Italian soldiers to enrol themselves in Garibaldi's bands. Louis Napoleon had such a poor opinion of the French nation, subject to his will since the coup d'etat, that he had forgotten the reason of their subjection was public order. He did not see that to violate public order would break every bond of union which existed between him and the nation. His advisers were first made aware of the mistake by the volunteers who went to Rome, the subscriptions for their support published in all the Catholic newspapers of France. Telegrams were sent to every prefect in France to ask them what was the opinion of the country ; the answer, almost without an exception, was—intervention at Rome or a revolution in France—the provinces will march upon Paris, and the Emperor will have to leave, or will be shot. On receipt of this answer orders were issued for immediate interven tion at Rome. Louis Napoleon did not think it possible that they could be carried out with such promptitude, but when men are all of one mind they are quick in issuing orders, and those orders are as quickly obeyed. Eleven trains were despatched in one day from Lyons, and in twenty four hours 25,000 men were ready to embark at Toulon. The navy showed the same enthusiasm as the army to go to the help of the Pope, show ing that the people of France, the army and navy were all of one mind respecting intervention at Rome. In the meantime Louis . Napoleon had telegraphed to Victor Emmanuel and Garibaldi to make haste to Rome, in the same way as he had acted at the time of General de Lamorciere before Castelfidardo, but 350 Zouaves held Garibaldi in check for two days at Monte Rotondo ; orders were issued to call back the French fleetand troops to Toulon, but the General in command dreading sea sickness, had gone to Rome by land, and on his arrival at Rome went at once to work, looking after the fortifications and means of defence. He telegraphed that he could hold out three days against the Italian army, and for months against Garibaldi's bands. On receipt of that telegram Louis Napoleon, seeing that his plan had failed, and reading the remarks in the Catholic news papers on the countermand of the expedition, and fearing a revolution in Paris, immediately ordered again the fleet to sail. The manner in which Rome was saved is too well known to require comment. Louis Napoleon was obliged to obey public opinion, and it is in that way he didnot betray his trust and the honour of France. In France Garibaldi is not popular as in Eng land, where bigotry is so strong on matters of re ligion, that they are blind to their best interests. has the same effect as a barrel They cannot see that a barrel of gunpowder ex ofexploded in London. But now p l d g e u d n p i o n w d ß e o r m Rome they know the effect of that gunpowder barrel in London, they are no longer so sweet on Gari baldi and his Fenians ; they can now see that both Italian and Irish conspirators are of the same kidney. If Garibaldi had succeeded in Rome, an attempt would have been made to pro claim a Red Republic in Paris, and law and order would have been set at defiance in Eng land. Reason is beginning to enter the minds of the people in England. That barrel of gun powder has taught them a great lesson, and though bigotry still keeps them blindfolded; they are able now to see a little further ; they are begin ning to feel that religion is necessary for order and obedience to law, and with a little logic they will soon be as much in favour of Rome as they were against it. If Fenianism is bad in London, it cannot be good in Rome. In France, the opinions of the working classes, entering into combination with the trade unionists of England, the insubordination which exists in every grade of society, where everybody wants to command and nobody to obey, has operied the gunpowder has op ene d th e e y es o f the eyes of thoughtful politicians in the same way as England. They see th a t or d er an d bpeoplerd c annot be preser ve d if re li g i on i s su that o b i r n r a e t l oo fn of insulted, that the Ten Commandments will not be obeyed if those who teach the truth of the Ten Commandments are held up to public obloquy. The people of France have found that out, and it is time that the people of England should know it also; when they learn that, they will no longer be surprised at the intervention of the French at Rome. Louis Napoleon could not help himself, however friendly he may be to the Revolution, and to its allies, either in Italy or England, his head was at stake, and he dared not betray his trust. Many pious people in England look upon Louis Napoleon as the perfection of an Emperor. They are constantly speaking of the piety of their idol. The adoration of this idol, the head and leader of the European Revolution, gives strength to the secret societies ; simple minds thus belong to the sect without being aware of it ; they contribute to the worship of the principles of revolution per sonified in Louis Napoleon, and carried out in every uncontrolled act of his home and foreign policy to the deadening of the public conscience, and to the consequent growth of the spirit of lawless ness and insubordination in Europe. If Louis Napoleon would but follow the dictates of his l real mission, rid himself of the principles to which, during his early wanderings after royalty, he pledged himself by an inlet oath, and see that he is called to uphold religion and order, he might then be held up to the admiration of honest men ; he would no longer be obliged to require of his police to stop every Italian at the frontier to de mand his passport ; he would be able to see that Garibaldi, Fenians, red Fenians, and English and Irish Fenians are all friends of that barrel of gunpowder, emblem of the destruction which their principles must bring down upon society. In truth whether Louis Napoleon know it or not, his security, the preservation of the Empire, his own safety, and that of the Empress and her son, are only to be secured by conservative measures, the first of which is to . restore the Pope in the integrity of his dominions, or to give him that security which shall place Rome free from pecu niary want, and from danger of invasion from hia " Fenian" neighbours. Her Majesty's Indian troopship Serapis sailed from Alexandria on the 3d inst. with the 35th Foot and draughts, who were conveyed from Bombay to Suez in the Malabar. The Serapis will , probably arrive at Portsmouth about the 17th inst. PASTORAL LETTER OF 7HE BISHOP OF LIVERPOOL. The following Pastoral Letter of the Right Rev. Dr. Goss, Bishop of Liverpool, has been addressed to the clergy and laity of his diocese : To our dearly beloved in Christ, the clergy, secular and regular, and the laity of the diocese of Liver pool, health and benediction in the Lord. You can hardly be ignorant of the audacious attempt lately made by wicked men to wrest from the Sovereign Pontiff the remnant of his patri monial estates. Bands of ruffians, composing the scum of Italian cities, whom the Prime Minister of England, Conservative though he be, has had the indiscretion to dignify, in the royal speech, with the appellation of volunteers, endeavoured to wrest from the Pope the city of Rome, and the barren tract of country by which it is surrounded. They were led by a retired sea captain, surnamed General Garibaldi, a man boastful in speech, but cowardly in action, who, having won English Protestant sympathy by his hostility to the Pope, has now earned universal contempt by his renun ciation of Christianity. Strange that a country which spends millions in the propagation of the Gospel should idolise the enemy of the Gospel, on no higher grounds than hatred to the Pope ! In his original profession this man might have earned the respect of his employers ; but lured by the ambition of military glory, and aspiring to the dignity of a patriot, he has become a pest to society by lending himself to the cause of re volution, the downfall of thrones, and the over throw of religion. Putting himself at the head of hordes of filibusters, composed of communists, socialists, and infidels, to the cry of " Death or Rome !" he invaded the Patrimony of St. Peter. In a time of profound peace he burst into the country, plundered the loyal inhabitants, and spread sorrow and desolation along his line of march. The Roman General Kanzler, at the in vitation of the people, visited the Cathedral of Monte Rotondo, that he might see with his own eyes the ruin caused by them. He found the in terior a complete wreck. The images, crucifixes, and candelabra were all broken into pieces and scattered on the ground ; every corner was filled with disgusting filth ; the chalices and other con secrated vessels had been carried away, and, hor rible to relate, the sacred particles had been sacrilegiously strewn upon the floor. In the sacristy all the safes had been broken open, the vestments had been stolen or destroyed ; nothing sacred re mained uninjured. On the persons of some of the prisoners were found portions of their sacrilegious plunder. It is commonly believed that if the revolutionary army could have mastered Rome, the cardinals and principal prelates would have been massacred, the churches sacked, and the city laid in ruins, for all the barracks of. the Papal troops had been undermined, arms of the most destructive kind were at the disposal of the secret societies within the walls, and the worst charac ters of the most venal populace in the world had been bribed by the insurrectionists. But God put His enemies under His feet, and saved, through the valour of its army, the mountain of the house of the Lord prepared on the top of mountains, and exalted above the hills, to which all nations flow (Isaiah ii. 2). The invincible Garibaldi, after boast ing to Europe that in a few days he would unfurl his banner on the capitol, was compelled to seek safety by an ignominious flight. It was said by an adversary of the great Hannibal, that he was the first on the field and the last out; but it has been said of Garibaldi by his adversary, that he never appeared at the post of danger, and that to the cry of "Save who can," he and his staff were the first to reach the confines of the Italian kingdom. It is lamentable to see the low state of truthful ness in Governments, shown by the fact that Garibaldi was countenanced by the Italian Go vernment, notwithstanding the lying pretence of a squadron to watch his lair at Caprera. His ad herents allege that he had an assurance that the French would not intervene, or that, if they did, the Italian army would forestall them, and get possession of Rome before they could come up. The Government of King Victor Emmanuel is said to have given fifty thousand francs to the widows of the slain, and the ministers have just pro nounced an amnesty to all concerned in the late filibustering expedition. The reasons alleged in jus tification of these outrages are puerile and un sound. It is said that the Pope would be more respected by non-Catholics, and . would have greater spiritual weight amongst Catholics, if he were not tramelled with Temporal Sovereignty. Now the abettors of these opinions are the enemies, not the friends, of the Catholic Church. The Pope ought certainly to know better than his enemies what is necessary for the discharge of the duties of his supreme and apostolic ministry. " The moment," he says (Consistory of April 20, 1849), " the Roman Pontiff becomes the subject of any Prince or Government, and is no longerthe absolute master of his own actions, from that moment he loses the complete confidence both of nations and their rulers, as well as, at least, the undoubting obedience of the children of the Church. In fact, neither the faithful nor their Government would ever be able wholly to divest themselves of a fear lest the acts of the Pontiff shonld be effected by the will of the Prince in whose dominions he happened to be, and, under such a pretext, they would not fail, as occa sion served, to refute the obedience due to his commands." If spiritual and temporal power be incompatible in the same persons, why is the Sove reign of England allowed to possess them ? Queen Victoria exercises the same authority over the Esta blished Church of England as Pius IX. exercises over the Universal Church. An Act of Parliament transferred to the English Crown all the rights, prerogatives, jurisdictions, and powers formerly exercised by the Pope over the Church in this country. By the Royal authority alone the prelates of the Established Church are appointed. By the Royal authority alone her Convocations are sum moned, regulated, prorogued, and dissolved. With out the Royal sanction her canons have no force. One of the articles of her faith is that, without the Royal consent, no ecclesiastical council can law fully assemble. From all her judgments an appeal lies in the last resort to the Sovereign, even when the question is whether an opinion ought to be counted heretical, or whether the administration of a sacrament has been valid.— (Lord Macaulay, Hist. Eng., vol. i.) May we not justly say to the English opponents of the temporal power :—" Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."—(St. Matt. vii. 5.) It is said that Rome ought to belong to Italy ; may it not with greater truth be retorted that Gibraltar belongs to Spain ? Rome never belonged to Italy, but Italy to Rome ; whereas Gibraltar did belong to Spain. Besides, the title of the Pope to Rome is better than the title of the dynasty of Queen Victoria to the English throne. The rightful branch of the Stuarts lost the throne by treason, treachery, and rebellion ; the Pope acquired his by the free gift of the people, when the division of the Roman Empire into many kingdoms and diverse Governments gave birth to the civil princi pality of the Roman Pontiff. A Protestant historian observes that the proudest royal houses are but of yesterday compared with the line of the Supreme Pontiffs. Platform orators echo the taunt of the newspaper press that priests cannot govern. Out upon such cant ! Have not the best rulers of States been Churchmen ? Where would England be if it had not been for the vigorous and enlightened Churchmen who guided the counsels of our kiugs iu the Middle Ages? " It would be unjust," writes Macaulay, " not to acknowledge that the chief agent in the two great deliverances which put an end to the tyranny of nation over nation, and to the pro perty of man in man, was religion. A successor of Becket was foremost among the refractory mag nates who obtained that charter which secured the privileges • both of the Norman barons and of the Saxon yeomanry. How great a part the Roman ecclesiastics subsequently had in the abolition of villeinage we learn from the unexceptionable testi mony of Sir Thomas Smith, one of the ablest Protestant counsellors of Elizabeth. When the dying slaveholder asked for the last sacraments, his spi ritual attendants regularly abjured him, as he loved his soul, to emancipate his brethren, for whom Christ had died."—(" Hist. Eng.," vol. 1.) After this avowal of the abettor of the English Revolu tion, which is corroborated by Blackstone, let us hear no more abuse of Churchmen by those who value liberty. It is time, however, to lay before you an Encyclical Letter, which his Holiness has deigned to address unto us :—" Venerable Brethren, — Health and the Apostolic blessing. Cast your eyes around, venerable brethren, and you will see, and with us you will grieve over, the abominations which afflict ulihappy Italy. For our part, we adore the inscrutable judgments of God, who bath pleased that we should live in these sad times, when, by the action of men, and especially of those who rule and administer public affairs in Italy, the commandments of God and the laws of Holy Church are utterly despised, and impiety, unchecked, exalts its bead and triumphs. Hence flow all the crimes, evils, and misfortunes which we see. Hence arise all those band 3 of men who walk in impiety and fight under the standard of Satan, on whose face is writ ten Lying.' Called by the name of revolution, and setting their mouths against Heaven, they blaspheme God, they defile and contemn everything sacred, they trample on all laws, human and divine. Like ravenous wolves they pant after their prey ; they are shedders of blood, they are destroyers of souls by their scandals, they seek the stipend of their service by every injustice. They are robbers, they afflict the weak and the poor, they add to the number of widows and orphans, they deny justice to the just, and for bribes spare the wicked. Thoroughly corrupted, they strive at gratifying every passion, at whatever damage to society itself. By abandoned men of this sort we are now surroun ded. Animated by a spirit utterly diabolical, they long to plant their standard in this our fair city, beside the Chair of Peter, the centre of Catholic truth and unity. The Subalpine Government, which ought to keep them in check, is not ashamed to cherish them, to provide them with arms and provisions, and to protect their access to this city. But let all such tremble, even of the highest rank and place, for they are incurring additional ecclesiastical penalties and censures. In the hu mility of our heart we earnestly pray God, who is rich in mercies, to lead back all these unhappy men to saving repentance and to the path of jus tice, religion, and piety ; but we cannot keep silence on the grave perils to which in this hour of dark ness we are exposed. We wait calmly every event, though procured by wicked frauds, calumnies, con spiracies, and falsehoods, for we place all our hope and trust in God our Saviour, who is our health and strength in all our tribulations, who never suffers those who hope in Hirnito be confounded, who confounds the designs of the impious, and breaks the necks of sinners. Still we are bound to announce to you, venerable brethren, and to all the faithful committed to your care, the affliction and the great danger to which we find ourselves, principally owing to the conduct of the Subalpine Government. For though we are defended by the valour and devotion of our faithful army, which in its gallant exploits has displayed a courage almost heroic, it is clear that it is not able long to resist the far superior numbers of its unjust assailants. And although we are much consoled by the filial piety shown to us by the remnant of our subjects, reduced in number as they are by wicked usurpers, we have still to lament that they must needs incur great danger from the savage bands of criminals who continually menace them, plunder them, and op press them in a thousand ways. And we have to deplore other evils, venerable brethren, evils which we can never sufficiently lament. From our con sistorial allocution, delivered on October 29th, last year, and from the narrative and documents which we printed and published, you know with what affliction the Catholic Church and her children in the Russian empire and in the kingdom of Poland are oppressed and tortured ; Catholic bishops and ecclesiastics and laymen have been banished, im prisoned, persecuted, robbed of their property, and made to suffer most cruel punishment, while the canons and laws of the Church have been trampled under foot. And, not content with this, the Rus sian Government continued in its ancient manner to violate the discipline of the Church, to sever the bond 3 of union and communion between the faithful and ourselves and the Holy See, and to plot and strive in a thousand ways utterly to destroy the Catholic religion in those dominions, to tear the faithful from the bosom of the Catholic Church, and to drag them into a fatal schism. We inform you with deep grief that two decrees have lately been issued by that Government since our last allocution above mentioned. By the decree issued on the 22d of last May, , the diocese of Pod lachia, in the kingdom of Poland, its college of canons, its general consistory, and its diocesan seminary, were utterly abolished, the bishop of the diocese was torn from his flock, and compelled at once to quit the diocese. Aud this decree is similar to that which was published on June 3d, last year, which we were unable to mention, as we knew not of it. By this clause the Government, of its own will and. power, abolished the Diocese of Kamenicz, dispersed its college of canons, its con sistory, and its seminary, and removed the bishop from the diocese by force. As every means of communicating with the faithful is obstructed, and in order not to expose • any one to imprisonment, exile, or other punishment, we have been obliged to insert in.our newspapers the document by whi c h we decided on providing for the exercise of legiti mate jurisdiction in those vast dioceses, in order that, by the aid of the press, notice of our decision might reach thither. Every one sees at a glance in what spirit and for what object the Russian Government issues these decrees. To the absence of many bishops it now adds the suppression of dioceses. But our affliction is yet increased by another decree of the same Government, promul gated on the 22d of last May, by which a board was constituted at St. Petersburg, called the Ro man Catholic Ecclesiastical College, over which the Archbishop of Mohilew presides. All petitions ap pertaining even to matters of faith and conscience which are sent to us and this apostolic see by the bishops, clergy, and faithful people of the Russian empire, and of the kingdom of Poland, are first to be transmitted to this board, and the board has to ex amine them and decide whether the petitions exceed the power of the bishops, and in that case to see that they be forwarded to us. And when our de cision arrives thither, the president of the college is bound to forward it to the Minister for Home affairs, that he may decide whether anything be found in it contrary to the laws of the State and the righti of the Sovereign, and may execute it at his pleasure and discretion should nothing of the sort be found in it. You see clearly, venerable brethren, how worthy of blame and reprobation is this decree issued by lay and schismatical authority. It destroys the Divine constitution of the Catholic Church, it subverti ecclesiastical discipline, it in flicts a great injury on our supreme Pontifical power and authority, and on the power and authority of this Holy See and of the bishops, it impels the faithful towards a fatal schism, and violates the very law of nature as to matters which concern faith and con science. Moreover, the Catholic Academy of War saw has been destroyed, and ruin impends over the Ruthenian diocese of Chelm and Belz. Most of all we have to'lament that a certain priest, \Vajoicki, a man of suspected faith, despising all ecclesias tical penalties and censures, disregarding the terrible judgment of God, has dared to accept from the civil power the government and administration of that diocese, and to issue sundry ordinances opposed to ecclesiastical discipline, and furthering a fatal schism. Amid these misfortunes afflicting us and the Church, we entreat you, venerable brethren, as there is none to fight for us save the Lord our God, to join your fervent prayers with ours, as becomes your zeal for the Catholic Church and your affection for us, and together with all your clergy and people to pray to God without ceasing to be mindful of His mercies, to turn away His wrath from us, to rescue His Holy Cnurch and us from those evils, to help and defend by his Omnipotence our beloved children of the Church in all parts, and especially in the Russian Empire and Kingdom of Poland, ex posed as they are to so many snares, and visited by so many crosses, to keep, confirm, and fortify them daily in thosossession of the Catholic faith and its saving doctrine, to dissipate all the impious councils of the enemy, to recal them from the gulf of sin to the path of virtue, and to guide them in the way of His commandments. We desire you, therefore, to announce public prayers in your dioceses at your discretion for three days within the next six months, and within a year in transoceanic dioceses. And that the faithful may assist at:these public prayers, and beseech God with more devotion, we mercifully grant in the Lord to . all and every the faithful of Christ of both sexes, who shall devoutly assist at the prayers on the three days, who shall fray to God according to our intentions in the present needs of the Church, and who shall have been cleansed by sacramental confession and refreshed by holy communion ; a plenary indulgence and remission of all their sins. And to those of the faithful who, being contrite of heart, shall on any one of the said days perform the other works, we remit, according to the wonted form of the Church, seven years and seven forty days of the penances enjoined on them or otherwise due. Also we grant in the Lod that all and singular these indulgences, remissions of sins, and relaxations of penances, may be applied by way of suffrage to the souls of Christ's faithful who have departed this life in union with God by charity, all things whatsoever to the contrary notwithstanding. Lastly, nothing is more pleasing to us than to use this occasion to testify and repeat the special kindness with which we embrace you in the Lord. In sure token of which we accept the Apostolic benediction which, with cordial affection, we lovingly bestow on yourselves, venerable brethren, and on all the clergy and laity entrusted to your vigilance. Given at Rome, at St. Peter's, October 17, 1867, in the twenty-second year of our pontifi cate.—Pius P.P. IX." The pastoral then pro ceeds :—ln obedience to this gracious command we appoint the 20th, 21st, and 22ud, or the 27th, 28th, and 29th of December, for prayer and sup plication, according to the intention of his Holi ness, and for the gaining of the indulgences. On each of the said days there shall be said in the morning after every Mass the Litany of our Lady, and in the evening the litany of the saints followed by benediction of the most holy sacrament. In churches in which benediction is not or cannot be given, we prescribe in lieu thereof that the candles be lighted and the tabernacle door be opened, and the litany of the saints be recited in presence of the Blessed Sacrament. We further allow exposi tion of the Blessed Sacrament on Sunday, the 22d, or 29th, from the last Mass to the close of the afternoon evening service. His Holiness grants a plenary indulgence to such as shall attend the morning or evening service on each of the appointed days, and shall receive the sacraments of penance and holy communion ; also a partial indulgence of seven years and seven forty days to such as shall attend either morning or evening service on each of the appointed days, and shall receive the sacraments of penance and holy communion ; also a partial in dulgence of seven years and seven forty days to such as shall attend either morning or evening service on any of the three days. We direct this pastoral to be read on Sunday, the 15th or 22d, and a collection for the wants of the Holy Father to be announced for the Sunday following. Let the amount collected in each church be forwarded at once . to the Rev. John Hawksworth, St. Patrick's, Park-place, Liverpool. To the only God our Sa viour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory and magnificence, empire and power before all ages, and now, and for all ages of ages, Amen."—St Jude.

The superiority of Holloway's medicines has been fully and widely proved for subduing disease, that it is only necessary to ask the afflicted to give them a trial, and if the instructions folded around them be followed no disappointment will ever ensue or dangerous consequences result. In hoarsenesS and ulcerated sore throat the ointment should frequently be rubbed on the neck and top of the chest ; it will arrest the increasing inflammation, allay disquietude, and gia" dually cure.
