ROM.E,socr.

The Pope in his harangue to the cardinals on the
23th September gave an account of his journey, and
expressed the great joy he had experienced at the
warmth of his reception everywhere. " And truly,"
said his Holiness, "we could not but vehemently re-
joice and offer our humble thanks to God, the mast
element giver of all good things, because the people
through whom we passed manifested to us such
signs of piety, and showed themselves so devoted to
this Apostolic See, that our journey appeared like a
continual and solemn triumph of our most
holy religion." If ho was delighted by
the reception he met with from his own
subjects, the Pope proceeded to state that
he was no less so on crossing the frontiers of Modena
and Tuscany, and gave a brief account of the atten-
tions which the people and sovereigns of those
duchies rendered to his person, winding up with
thanks to the clergy and people of Rome for their
dutiful demonstrations on his return to the capital,
and expressing his satisfaction in thus being enabled
" to behold you all present, venerable brethren, to
speak to you, and lovingly to embrace you, who are
the sharers and companions of our councils and
labours." The inauguration of the column in
honour of the Immaculate Conception was alluded to
by Pio Nono, with a due tribute to the splendid
hospitality and piety of " Our very dear daughter in
Christ, the catholic Queen of Spain ;" after which his
Holiness undertook to contradict the malevolent
assertions of some " enemies of God and men, who as
ministers of Satan, walking in their own impieties,
would fain uproot our divine religion and faith, and
do not blush to assert impiously and foolishly that
the time for the catholic religion has gone by."
This assertion the Pope warmly confuted with a
counter assertion, that the catholic religion " de-
scended from heaven upon earth for the salvation of
men," could never fail, but, triumphing over all it.
enemies, would remain until the consummation of
ages, " aud the gates of hell shall not prevail against
it." With a view to the more immediate achieve-
ment of catholic unity, and the gathering together
of all wanderers from the true faith into the pale of
the Roman church, his Holiness concluded by re-
questing the payers of his veneral-le brethren the
cardinals, informing them that he hIA in like man-
ner exhorted the patriarchs, archbis- ipa, and bishops
of the whole catholic world, to L.stitute similar
prayers in their dioceses, to obtain from the Al.
mighty unity of faith ; and in order to stir up their
flocks to admit prayer for the same object, his Holi-
ness stated that he had deemed it opportune to
reward them with plenary indulgence, to be con-
ferred until the end of 1845, in the same form of
jubilee ss that granted to the catholic world by the
cncyclica dated. Nov. 21, 1801.
British rulers in India are reaping a rich harvest
of abuse just now frcm the ultra catholic press in
Italy, of which the principal organ in Rome is the
Ciriltd Calk:ice, according to which the Sepoy
assassins of defenceleta women and innocent children ,
are" more sinnedagainst than sinning." Laymen and
soldiers in the Italian peninsula are of a different
opinion, and would gladly lend their personal ser-
vices to aid in subduing the Indian revolt, were it
the intention of the British government to adopt
once more the much-decried system of foreign legions.
The British Consulate here is literally besieged by
Swiss and Roman soldiers of all arms, who, deceived
by accounts in the French papers, hope for the re-
enrolment of the Anglo-Italian legion, aud being
near the conclusion of their engagements, would fain
exchange the monotonous duty which falls to their
lot here, for a chance of real service and promotion
in India.
