Address of Polish Priests to the Pope,

ROME, July 6.
Several Polish priests who have taken part in the
revolution have succeeded in passing the Russian
frontier and in reaching Rome. The fugitives
have been kindly received by the Pope, and allowed
to take up their abode in the Convent of the Trinity
for Pilgrims. Upon the fete of St. Paul these un-
fortunate ecclesiastics, some of whom had been con-
demned to death by the Russian Government, were
presented to the Pope, when one of their number,
the Abbe Polkewski, read the following address;
"Most Holy Father,—We, ecclesiastics of the
Polish Church, expelled from our country and hose
pitably received by your bounty, present ourselves
before your Holiness with tears in our eyes and, et
the same time, joy in our hearts. We weep for the
ruin of our country, and we rejoice to find ourselves
in your presence, who have greeted the children of
that unhappy nation and Church with truly pater'
nal love. Further, we have every confidence that,
by means of your Holiness, mourning will be turned
into joy, and the great ruin of Poland converted
into prosperity, for whatever is bound on earth shall
also be bound in heaven, and whatever is loosed 02
earth shall also be loosed in heaven. So that if yon
are with us, who shall be against us ? If you bless
Poland, who shall dare to curse her ? Who Will
dare to tempt his fate ?
"Accept, therefore, most Holy Father, our
infinite thanks both for the good you have deigned
to do us, and for the far greater benefit you intend
to confer upon us and onr nation. Receive in especial
the thanks of our faithful people ; receive its
prayers and its tears, of which we have been the
witnesses. Receive the fidelity of that nation which
recognises your Holiness as its pastor; receive the
hope which it has in you alone in this world.
Deign to accept all this, most Holy Father, and
rejoice over the good which you have alreadyeffected
you have saved souls, and rallied around your Dolls
ness our Church and our nation, against whom, es
,gainst your Holiness, ports; inferi non pre'
valebunt."

The Pope replied to this address with a short
speech. His Holiness said, " The words cause toe
distress in which you have shown to me the great
danger of the Polish nation. We must persevere
in the same sentiments, and pray God to cause the
storm to cease. You especially, as priests,
should petition the Almighty to give yorl,
patience and perseverance, in the belief that lie will
avert the misfortunes which now oppress you. kitt/°,
confidence in Him, and you will not be abandoned.
It is believed that this address and reply Will
not fail to add to the irritation of the Russian G°'
vernment when they arrive at its knowledge. The
diplomatic abiility shown by Cardinal Antonelli is
cotitidered the only cause why relations have 11°t
already been broken off.
