We the undersigned, by Divine permission,
and with the approbation of the Holy See,
Arch Bishop and Bishops of our respec
tive Dioceses.
jTo our beloved Brethren, Grace and Peace
Jrom GOD our Father, and B om the
LORD JESUS CHRIST.
The many outrages coinmittr;^, against the
person of our chief Pastor Phis 7th, the Vi
car of onr Lord Jesus Christ in the go
vernment of his Church, and the invasion
ol the patrimony of the Holy See, have been
long known to you. our beloved Brethren,
and excited in tour breasts sentiments of
deep affliction, and indignation. The acts
of aggression were not oiiiv unprovoked, but,
«o avert them, out-holy Father employed all
means of forbearance, meekness, paternal
admonition, charitable remonstrances, and
even condescension .as far as his conscience
and duty Would allow him, thus evincing
his sincere desire to preserve peace, unity
&*ruc religion in the whole flock committed
tohk charge.—But fruitless were his endea
vours to restrain violence, and infuse prin
oiples of justice .The work of oppression
vent on to its consummation, in defiance of
all law, natural and divine After . suffer
ing with that placid constancy, which *,nly
the god of fortitude could inspire, 'he most
disrtspec.ful and insulting treatment, and
being stripped of the dominions, which had
been held by his predecessors for more
than a thousand years, to the immense bene
fit of the Christian world, he was first made
.u prisoner within the walls of his own pa_
:ace, and then, as was his immediate and
holy predecessor of blessed memory Pius
the 6th, forcibly drsgged away from the
chair of St. Peter, and the sacred ashes of
the apostles; he is detained in a foreign
land, as a prisoner, and debarred from com
Tuunicatingto his pastoral care Sc solicitude.
I bus lias Dvine Providence permitted
him to drink of that cup and share in those
(•offerings of which the first of his prede
cessors, St. Peter, and man after him had
so large a portion ; to the end that their con
stancy, in resisting the impiety of the enr
nitesoi Jcoutt Chrint might be as conspicti
ous. as their high rank in the church of God;
and that their public testimony for the ho
nor of his sacred person and religion might
confound, and leave without excuse the ma
levolence or ignorance of those men. who
continue to calumniate the bishops of Rome,
as corrupters of he faith and worship of
Ooti the Father, and his blessed Son, the
Saviour of mankind, for whose sake «<> m:v
nyot them sacrificed their liberiv and their
lives.
But, though the church is glorified bv their
meritorious suffering, it is not less the duty
of all its members, during the oppression of
our common Father; to offer up our fervent
prayer for his deliverance from the power of
his enemies, that he may freely and eflica
ciously exercise for the advantage of our
souls, his important pastoral duties. When
St. Peter Prince of the Apostles, was cast
into prism by the impious Herod, and load
ed with chains, the primitive Christians
regarded it as a common calamity, and
jivai/Cr ivas made is! 'hout craning by Che
church to God for him. Acts. ch. 12, v.
5. Their prayers were graciously heard,
and an angel of (he Lord stood by him—
and the chains Jell ojf from his hands, v. 7.
Encouraged by their example and sue.,
cess, let us beseech the Almighty Founder,
, Presenter and continual Protector of his
Church, to manitesi his power in those our
days, as heretofore, by delivering our Chief
Pastor out of .he hands of his enemies, and
restoring peace and tranquility, and so that
he and other Pastors under him, may a
gam every where and in all freedom minis.,
ter to their respective flocks in all holy
things. To render our prayers acceptable
fcefore God, they must proceed from peni
tential hearts, deeply humiliated by a
sense of their past transgressions, fully rc
solved to follow no more their sinful lusts,
and disorderly affections, and filled with
an assurance of obtaining mercy and favor,
through the merits oLour Saviour Jesus
Christ
Wherefore, on every Sunday and festival,
either immediately before Mass or sermon,
M;e respective pastors shall recite the I2dth
Fsayn with prayers ; and all Priests, at the
daily ce lebration of Mass, besides the pro*
per collects, shall add that for the Pope, as
In the missal — Deus, omnium Fidelium/ias
tor el rector, ijfc These directions are to
be observed till farther notice.
May the grace of God, through Jesus
Christ, and 'hat peace, which the world
Cann it give, remain always with you.

Maihson, daughter of Mr. Joint Madison._c.
Whether this early victim to disease and dentil,
be viewed in tltti character of t Daughter, :< Lis
ter, or as only connected with society by the*
common ties of humanity, her character is i on .J
ly worthy ot adruiiaiion anil eulogy In a | t-r
son on which nature had exhausted' all her : k ill,
dwell a disposition divinely sweet—K. r mind,
which was of the must vigorous order, hud been
improved, Hnd her manners embellished by eve
• y mean in her power. In a word, it may be
truly said, that she was fitted in an emi
j iv nt degree, to fill any station of life to
winch one of her sex might have been
lh d. with grace an I dignity. Could it hut
be < xpcctcd then that tt>e de-itti of such an one
u.itsi he lamented hy all ? Could it but happen
I thtot ber acquaintances would mingle then*
sighs and tears over her on'oriunuie loer ?
Hut let our tears ceaee to fi >w ; h»r on eaittv
time lived not a more virtuous soul, anil
u Heaven we trust there is not a bright, r an*
