eulogium by the strict obeervanea ef the regolottlass which
will be shortly published. Hie Rabe+ has moreover
quested iss to make known his liesA et wing the
action of government to have its entire strength mid hill
liberty ; that it ie allowed to none to signals@ way one to
public execration, since he who has any revelations to make
justice can apply to the authorities, whose duty it is to
maintain order ; and that it is still less allowed any one,
whoever he may be, or whatever motive he may allege, to
pursue any individual whatsoever. Romans, we are no
stranger to you ; we recall with pleasure the time
when our religious duties united us to you in the
exercise of our ecclesiastical ministry, during which
we received so many proofs of your docility and of
your affection to our person. In testifying to you our most
lively gratitude for this affection we have to tell you that we
fully rely upon you in the exercise of the new ministry
which the clemency of our well-beloved and august pontiff
and sovereign has Just entrusted to us, and which you will
render less painful in showing yourselves worthy of the
blessed religion you profess, of the wisdom and moderation
which characterise you, and the devotedness which animates
you for hint who is still more the father than the sovereign
of his people.—ln the State Secretary's office, July 2i, 1847.

FRANCE.—PeItIe, AUGUST I.—We find the fol-
lowinp in the Conatitutionnel:—" The Archbishop of Paris,
on being solicited to deliver a funeral oration in honour of
Mr. O'Connell, is said to have replied that he would wit.
lingiy do so in the month of November, after the vacation ;
but it should not be forgotten that the action of O'Connell
has been chiefly political, guiding—. because Ireland has
greater religious liberty than we have in France. The
bishops may assemble. correspond, act, &c. with greater
freedom than we can in France.' All this," adds the Con-
atitutionnel, "is not serious. The Archbishop of Paris knows
very well that this pretended liberty of the catholic religion in
Ireland consists in being put out of the common WV. A
mode of worship is not free when three who profess it are by
that alone deprived of the political and social rights which
are enjoyed by their fellow-citizens—are burthened with
public charges which the rest have not to bear, and are truly
oppressed. The catholic religion is not only free in France,
but has all the favour of the law and the ante.
GERMANY.—PKUSSIA.—BERLIN, JULY 28.
Mr. Cobden hes arrived in this cepa'', and will probably re-
main a week, for the purpose of acquiring morefsinute in-
formation on the actual relations of the Zollverem. After
that, he intends to visit St. Petersburg, and either on his
journey thither or on his return, will visit the city of Ham-
burg. The free-traders of Berlin had fired the 31st ult. for
giving_ Mr. Cobden a grand entertainment.
AUSTRIA.—VIENNA, JULY 23.—0 n the 22nd
the rector of the Greek catholic church was assassinated
Ile left his house at an early hour to perform mass, and as
he did not return he was sought for at the church, where he
was found lying dead with his skull broken before the altar.
The murderer has not been arrested, but everything that has
transpired leads to a belief that it was a Pole of the Greek
religion, who assisted the deceased in his functions. He had
either been dismissed or had been threatened with dismissal
for immoral conduct, and had menaced vengeance.
