The Osservatore Romano, the official journal of the
Papacy, has the following article on the reception the
Papal bull has met with in England :
The furious violence of the English press continues
to storm with increasing enthusiasm against the Pontifi-
cal brief upon the restoration of the ecclesiastical hierar-
chy, and presents a singular spectacle, so much agita
tiou and anger not having been displayed by it since the
time of the implacable invectives against Napoleon.
And why?' said we to ourselves; an answer arose from
the bottom of our heart. All the organs of the British
Nebuchadnezzar feel better than any one else the irrs-
sistibls power of the Catholic religion in the world.
The most obstinate begin to persuade themselves
that this power is superior to political eventualities, that
it does not consist in temporal power derived from men,
but that its foundations are based upon the internal ad-
herence of their spirits. Consequently they see either
that their recriminations are too unjust, or that the
Anglican Church is menaced by total ruin. If they had
any shadow of right, they would speak with more dig-
nity and less ire.
"In the cries and howlings of Anglican despair,
also, we see a great deal of that internal sentiment
which resides at the bottom of a great number of
Protestant consciences, and even of those who are
the loudest in crying out against and blaming the
Pontifical act. These same cries are a homage which
Protestants render, aft,r their own manner, and in
spite of themselves, to Catholicism; because they know
it to be a spiritual body, fortified
better than any
other, against the impetus of impure passions, fomented
by revolutionary orgies. This is the cause and the rea-
son wby depraved men, plunged in all sorts of vices,
begin their movements in every attack, conflict, or social
combat, by assualting the Catholic Church. To prove
this, it is not necessary to repeat, what
we have so fre-
quently demonstratea concerning revolutionary ma-
noeuvres. In the present case the most
, Anglicanism,
potent of political religious establishments, bodingg itself
reduced to despair, having no species of argument to
oppose, and being, in fact, completely floored, would
lain pretend to form a part of Catholicism; and conse-

"Nor need we.labOur much to prove this fact, since the
proof is furnished us by the first of the journalising
and commerce of
combatants—the Times. This paper professes a won-
derful degree of logic when the policy

to speak more correctly, the
violation—of the ecclesias-
tics! laws, treaties, and good faith, proposed by Sic-

In quoting an article from the Journal des Debats,
we clearly pointed out the iojustice of the English jour-
nalists' cries and recriminations. We stated also that
the Government will pay no attention to their clamours;
and when a fitting opportunity occurs, we will demon-
strate from history all the acts of violence used against
Catholicism; but we cannot condessend to discuss the
events of the day, unless the necessary calmness and
tranquillity are restored. The articles of the whole
round of English journals contain nought but violence
and ire, and the words of the Times are a sufficif-nt spe-
cimen, that paper foreseeing the ruin and overthrow of
all sacred interests; and why ? Let the world perish,
but Anglicanism for ever."

It is said that Cardinal ANTONELLI will retire from
the Ministry, and will he succeeded either by Cardinal
BERETTI Or Cardinal DINAR':

The following order of the day from the new
Minister of Arms, Prince Onsim, appeared in the
official journal of the 12th :
"Honoured by his Holiness with the appointment to
the ministry of arms, I recognise the value of so distin-
guished a destination, and profess to the most benign
sovereign that gratitude which is his due fur
having shown such undeserved confidence in me. I
propose by my efforts to correspond with so
much goodness. In order, however, to effect this
purpose, I must obtain the consent and sincere
co-operation of all those who have the honour of be.

pledge of trust in me who profess the principle of de-

men of every weapon, and of all those who belong to
the military family. now renal to mind what I mani-
