THE CONGRESS AT MALINES.

ADDREES TO THE POPE.

The following is the address which the Roman
Catholic Congress at Menne* has voted to the Pope ;—" To
his Holiness Pope Pius EX.—Most Holy Father! More faithful
even to the unanimous suggestion of their hearts than to the
voice of duty, the eatholks assembled at Relines imamate
their labours by prostrating themselves humbly at the feet of
the vicar of Jesus Christ. Attached to the Holy Roman See,
mother and mistress of all the chnrehee by the bonds of a strict
obedience, and by the moat filial love, we come, most Holy
Father, to offer to you, divinely predestined to the
care of the sheep sod of the lambs, to the government oC
the pastors and of the faithful, the respectful armed=
of these sentiments. We movies solemnly in all their
plenitude the rights of your supreme authority. You
are the priest par excellence; the incorruptible gnu-
dian and the infallible interpreter of the Divine
verities ; the pilot ei that mystic reseal whirl Lode
humanity regenerated by the blood of Jens Christ to the
shore of its eternal destinies. At the same time as your
spiritual power we recognise also, most Holy Father,
the temporal power which is its providential bulwark.
The more the pontifical royalty is attacked and misunder-
stood the more ardently we apply ourselves to its defence—
the more we condemn the sacrilegious usurpation' of which
it is the object, the more closely we rally ourselves mood
the Holy See—the fruitful and inexh►ustible source of truth,
and of justice. against which the league of the unbelieving
and the impious has for ages used its efforts. Assembled
at Melina to cement the union of the catholic', to develop
eatholio works, to op-operate, in the degree which becomes
laymen, for the defence of our mother church, we mooed
to open our second session by this solemn profession of our
faith, of our submission, of our love. May it be received with
kindness by your Holiness, and obtain for as one of those
paternal benedictions which hive to hearts with good in-
tentions confidence, strength, and peace, and have spread
themselves' from the time of St. Peter to that of Pius IX
as a beneficent dew isr6i et orbi, over the city and over the
world. " The enbadmive and reepeetfully-devetel
" Sous of your Holiness."

The Bishop of Orleans, in his address to the congress,
stated that his visit was occasioned by the deplorable defeat
of the clerical party in the elections in Belgium. " The
hour of adversity," he said, "is the hour for salutary
counsels, generous resolutions, and faithful friendships."
His address was devoted to the subject of popular edam.
Bon. The sole idea which he enforced upon the audience
was that secular education was not only indissolubly con-
nected with religions, bat that it must always be communi-
cated by the Flatboat Consequently he urged them to
open their purees and their hearts towards increasing the
number of convents, by which the education of the people
should be conducted.

Ooe of the speakers at the ampere, who was received
with very peat anthmiesm, urged that a great natioeality
of faith ought to be organised in the world, of which Boole
should be the centre, the heart, and the heed. Differesoes
of race, or the rights of Wogs, were of no importance ; the
sole sovereign should be, he maid, the Pope.
