PASTORAL LETTER Or DR. BrIIItRAY, ROUAN CATHOLIC
OP DuIILIN, TO TUE ROMAN CATIIQI.IC

• CLERGY AND LAITY. - _
Beloved Brethren in Cheist Jeatea--A delightful duty has i
•
devolved uportats t it is (4. to reveal and to Confess the works of
'God." With a heart at once struck with "ait'e, and inflamed
with gratitude to the " God of all consolation," we proclaint
to you a new and wonderful manifestation of his goodness,
which we have just had the happiness to witness. Mary 'Stuart,
of the Conwnt of St. Joseph, Hanel:La/1a has, through the ex..
traordinary interposition of that Omnipotent Being, who
" killeth and maketh alive," been restored instantaneously to
health, from a state of grievous and hopeless infirmity, for the
relief of which all the resources of human skill had been ex-
pended in vain.
The account of this wonderful cure reached us officially
on the 2d instant, in a letter from the Prioress. This
communication elated, in substance, that one of the reli-
gious sisters 'of that community, by name Mary Stuart, had
been afflicted with sickness for four years and about seven
months ; that during that period she hail frequent attacks
of paralysis, each of which seemed to threaten her With imme-
diate dissolution; that the most powerful remedies had been
applied, without producing any other than partial and tempo.
racy relief ; that for several months past she had been confined
to her bed, wholly deprived of the power of assisting herself,
or of moving out of the position in which, she was laid ; that
when moved by her attendants how gently soever, she not only
suffered much pain, but was also liable tei considerable danger,
and to the temporary loss of speech, and that for the last five
weeks stir lead entirely lost the power of articulation ; that up
to' the morning of the Ist instant she continued in this de-
plorable state, without any symptom of amendment, and
apparently beyond the reach of !Annan ; , that on a
certain hour that morning, es had been Settled by pre-
vious arranifement, she united her devotion (as did ale° her
numerous friends) with the holy sacrifice of the mass, which
was to be offered by Alexander, Prince of liehenlohe, in the.
hope of obtaining immediately from God that relief which no
human means could afford; that, with this view, she received,
though with much difficulty, the divine communion at the
mass, which was celebrated at the same hour in her Chamber
for her recovery ; that, mass being ended, and no cure as vet
effected, she was in the act of resigning hetself, with perfect
submiasion, to the Will of God, when instantly she felt 6" power
of movement and a capability of speech; that she exclaimed
with an animated Yoke,--" holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of.
Hosts !" raised herself without aseiStanCea to offer, on vendedkneet, the tribute of her gratitude to Heaven; called for her
attire, left that bed to which she had. hem for so many months,
as it were, fastened, Walked to the convent chapel with a firm
step, and there, in the presence of the coMmUnity and congre-
gation, joined her religious sisters in the solemn thanksgiving .
which was offered upao God,' fur _this wonderful interposition
of his goodness.
As soon as this statement reached tri. We felt it a sacred duty
to examine the ;pounds on which it vas made. We hastened,
therefore, to spot, to investigate the circumstaneee of this
astonishing cure. We found the late invalid &awed in the
parlour, surrounded by her friends e' she nrose, nhe kaelt, she
resumed her seat, she detailed the history of her suffrings and
her cure, as thief have been just related. Ifer convenient% and
intendants, who had assisted her in her infirmity, and watched
oat longoier her bed or languishing, confirmed this'aceonnt in
all its details, which could not fall, even .then, to produce on
our mind the clearest conviction, that the restoration of the said
Mary Stuart to the state of health in which we saw her was be-
yond the reach of human poWer.
Still, aware of the great reponsibility which we should incur,
by pledging ourselves to you, beloved brethren, and to the
World, for the existence of a fact so truly wonderful, we paused
before we should give public utterance to our private conviction
on so impintant a subject. We returned to the convent, after en
interval of several days rare subjected all the circumstancei of this
' extraordinary case to a new and rigid inquiry ; We collected in-
formation on the spot, from every source within our reach; we.
weighed it in the presence of the (Rid of Truth ; we called in to
our aid the wisdom and- intelligence of our reverend brethren,
the Roman Catholic clergy of this city, and we have the con-
solation of knowing that our judgment is supported by their
unanimous opinion, when we declare, as are do hereby declare,
on what appear* to us the most unquestionable evidende, that
the cure iiinch was effected in the person of the' said Mary
Stuart, on the Ist of August instant, is the effect of a superna;'
tural agency-a.an effect which we cannot contemplate without
feeling in our inmost soul an irresistible conviction that " this.,
is the finger of (foil."
We do not, however, expect that this new and splendid
wonder of the divine goodness, clothed as it is with such a
mass of evidence, will awe into silence the cavils of the
sceptic. The miracles of our blessed Redeemer himself
were contradicted and ""the servant is not greater than hie
tord." incredulity may seek to cast the veil of doubt over
the glory which redounds to UM and hiS Church, front the
exercise of miraculous powers ; but the true believers will find
therein a copious subject of tonsolation, a new link m bind
him, if possible, more closely to his this attested religionLa
a new proof of the ever watchful care of God over new
motive to walk with reverence in the awful preeenee of Him
who works such wonders in the midst of us—a new incentive
to address this gracious Being in every want with unbounded
confidence.

Perhaps this may be among the means of mercy, whereby
God Wishes to effect the gracious purpose mentioned in his
Gospel—" Other sheep I have, that are not of this 'fold,
them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and
there shall be made one fohl, and ems shepherd. Perhaps
die voice of these facts issuing than the bosom of hIS sane.
ttiry, and publishing the glory of God with the loudness
of thunder, May strike upon the ears and hearts of many to
whom the voice of our miastry could not reach. Who knows
how many or our dear brethren, who arc wandering from this
" one fold," may be tbus'eOnducted back to venerate that holy
mass, on which the hand of the Omnipotent has impressed, in
such effulgent characters, the attestation at its sanctity.
Peace be to you, brethren, and -charity with faith from God
the Father, and oar Lord Jolts Christ.. Amen.

"tope of raising the province of Trix, butt em-
barked the same morning. .•-•
44 Not to give the enemy time to reconnoitre,
Generals Morillo and Larochejacquelin marched
on Bayonne, a small,place on the sea-coast, at
the' extremity of Galicia, which probably will not
hold out longer than Vigo. Thence they will
move ran Tuy, which, they will occupy.

d'Angonleme. at adiz, which will take place in
the night of the lath and 17th. If, however,
,y'ou.wish to hear the. on this, here they are.
it is said that an estafette, bringing good news,
passed through • Madrid •yesterday, coming from
head.quarters, but left no intelligence behind.;
that on the 6th an emissary-was sent from Cadiz

gency has given orders to the different Courts of
Justice to set all prisoners at liberty who have

(From the. Courier Franeuir.
?Ants, AuG. B.—The Quotidienne informs us
.that " some men, well known for their revolts.

show themselves in public, were the victims of
the false news that Cadiz had surrendered, which
'but for the prudent conduct of Marshal Oudinot
might have endangered public tranquillity ' • one
person was killed and eleven wounded." From
this-it is evident, that the murderers were not
criminal—the guilt belonged to them who were
killed, having been so imprudent as to shew
themselves in the street. We have before heard
that when a militiaman, Or the relation of a
Joilitiaman, was discovered, he was led off to
prison. We now see that the Constitutionalists
who show themselves:. in public are massacred.,
Hunted and arrested if. they conceal themselves,
assastinated if they come abroad, what are they
to do to obtain that security so solemnly promis-
ed to those who remained tranquil at their homes ?.
