tion to the expenses of the Congress were admitted.
This part of the proceedings is devoted exclusively
to the addresses of the various orators of distinction
who have consented to entertain the Congress with
their eloquent demonstrations of the various ques-
tions of interest now being agitated, and the first
speaker, a Belgian, the Vicomte de Kerckbove,
formerly Minister Plenipotentiary at Constantinople,
led off worthily the list of brilliant speakers with a
speech on the duties and hopes of Catholics. He
was followed by a young avocat of the name of
Woeste, who gave us a rather eloquent but rather
useless sketch of the history of the Church, under
the heading of "The Struggles and Triumphs of
the Church." His allusions to the present state of
politics, which came at the end of his speech, were
the most interesting part of it, The proceedings
of the day concluded with a most interesting
address of M, Adolphe Dochamps, Minister of
State, on the triple object of the Congress—namely,
" Union, Publicity, and Liberty."
One of the most interesting parts of the
Congress, is the gathering in the great
courtyard of the Petit Seminarie during the
intervals of the sittings, when the mass of
3,000 visitors can meet as on 'Change, and form
groups of acquaintances, old and new, of the most
international kind. Thus, besides meeting former
friends from Syria, Italy, and France, as well as
Belgium and Switzerland, I am acquiring daily
new friends from Holland, Germany, and Portugal.
I find, besides, England, very numerously repre-
sented by bishops, priests, and laymen, among
whom figure Monsignor Manning, the Rev. Dr.
Vaughan, and Father Bede Vaughan, 0.5.8., Wegg
Prosser, Esq., the Rev. Dr. Clifford, Charles
Andley, Esq,, &c. We are in the pleasant expec-
tation of listening, to-day, to the celebrated Count
de Moatalembert ; while his Eminence, Cardinal
Wiseman, is to speak to-morrow. The town, mean-
while, is keeping up a week's festival, in honour of
the dedication of its church of Notre Dame d'llans-
wyck ; and to-day, if the weather permits it, we
are to witness the defile of a grand cavalcade, repre-
senting religious subjects, and including in its
ranks children and young men belonging to the
first families of the town.

THE REPLIES OF THE THREE POWERS

TO RUSSIA.

PARIS, AUG. 22.
The Courrter du Dinzanche of to-day believes
itself able to guarantee that the Notes of the
three Po wers contain an identi cal conclusion,
couched in the following terms :
"One imperious duty now remains to be ful-
filled by the Government. This is to call the
most serious attention of Prince Gortschakoff to the
gravity of the situation, and the responsibility it
imposes upon Russia.

"Austria, France, and England have pointed out
the urgency of putting an end to a deplorable con-
dition of affairs, filled with peril to Europe. They
have indicated the means which it appears to them
their duty to be employed to attain this end. If
Russia does not do all that depends upon her to
realise the moderate and conciliatory intentions of
the three Powers, if she does not enter upon the
course indicated by their friendly counsels, she will
become responsible for the serious consequences
which the prolongation of disorder in Poland may
bring about.''
