Condition OF Rome-ThS POps's Alloc ution.
One Of the most strange and curious pieces Of
coCposition that has for a number of years ap-
Feared in print, is a document recently issued by
his Holiness Pope Plus the Ninth, pronounced in
the secret consistory at Gaeta, and termed an AL
locu,iou. 1t is published IN the Catholic organs
throughout the country.
In this document or promSneiamsnto, his Holi-
ness exhorts, denounces, appeals, threatens, con-
demns, pays, beseeches, quotes texts of Scripture

the church. TO seek consolation in humiliation and
prayer. OF course, 1t is mainly directed to a re-
view of the scenes which have occurred in the
Pootifics States and in almost the whole If Italy,
during year past, and TO condemnation of those
persons whose bosoms, swelling and distending
with The spirit Of liberty within them, asserted the
rights Of fre-men and upset their rulers. Their
acts and movements, he says, are adverse to pub.
lie tranquility and order; and as for the agitators
themselvrs, they are enemies of the church aud
of human society,"" " archiects of deceit" sun
wearied authors Of agitation" "most turbulent
aud fnc,ous men," "enemes Of God and man,"
"impious men," and everything else that is i'm

spirit Of the age in which live, the principles on
which The people If Rome deposed the Pope from
his temporal authority, aud IN the defence of which
they are now armed and prepared to die, if such
q sacrifice is required, and the picture which
Rome has presented since the flight Of its
sovereign to Gaeta in disguise-we certainly
are srazed at THE language Those enemies of
God srd man, those inpIous aud tacuous men, as
