| A New BULL FROM THE PoPE.-An extraordin-
airy Bull has been iseued by the Pope. 1t is dated
Rome, at ST. Peters, under the seal of the Fisher
man, on the 29th day Of September, in the fifth
| year of the Pontfcate 1t recites that it is the
earnest desire and aim of the Roman Pontiff to ex-
tend Cathoiclty, and to " re- convert the English
nation, especially by the foreign education of de-
vout young English Catholics, who, when brought
up in the Propaganda College in their ecclesiastical
| calling might return to their native land, and there
| propagate the true faith. .....
The Pope, considering the present state Of Caho-
| licism in England, and the enormous number Of
persons daily converted, judges it proper to recall
| the Wears apostolic, and complete new episcopal
| hierarchy is established An Archbishopric is
| created, under the title of Archbishop of West
minister, who will have sufTragan bishop Of
Southwark, and eleven other sutfragan bishops
| divide the rest of the entire kingdom. All their
jurisdiction are boldly and distinctly parcelled out
and the bishops are assured they will enjoy in
England the rights and facilities as in other
Catholic countries, and that in a pecuniary point
Of view, the new bishops will be losers, us the
splendor OF their temples and their wants will be
| amply provided for.
| This Bull has created an intense feeling through
out England, and it is believed in many quarters
| that the Cabinet Council has been called together
earlier than usual in order to act in the way best
| calculated to stop farther proceedings. At Rome
the feeling equally intense, since the Cardinals
have put forward u report that Lord Mimic has
consented to the terms Of the Bull, and that the
English Government has placed Westminster
| Abbey at the disposal OF the new Archbishop, in
order that he may perform high mass in that edi-
| fee at his inauguration. DR.. Wseman is charged
by the London journals, with supporting the pra yer
| for the Queen from the Roman Missal and altoge-
her the subj ec is becoming of intense interest.
The Protestant public greatly excited, and it is
expected that a season of high religious contro-
| versy Is about to commerce. ru.
THE PARTITION OF PRUSSIA. "
The Times of the 23d, startled London by an
announcement that the English cabinet had been
called together TO consult on a proposition of
France and Russia for the virtual partition of
Prussia. The Times said: '.a.
"The governments Of Russia and France have
jointly proposed to the government OF this coun-
try that the three powers shall peremptoriy
qure Prussia to fulfil her recent engagement with
Denmark, and withdraw the support she still con-
tlnues to giveto the Schleswg HoIstein army In
the event of Prussia hesitating to comply with
this reasonable demand, Russia and France are
prepared to back it, not by an Improbable march
to the territory under dispute, but in way more
congenial To their tastes by an invasion of the ST.
esian provinces of Prussia the side, and the
Rhenish on the other. In the first instance, how
ever, they require the cooperation of England in
the remonstrance with Prussia, without which
they not prepared to move at present The
answer Of the British Government may perhaps
be anticipated. 1t declines to join with Russia
and France in such note have described,
but proposes that all their powers shall separately
demonstrate with Prussia on her present breach of
faith with the Danish government. Whether their
triple remonstrances will be of more avail than all
the rest Of the diplomacy that has been lavished
on this affair, is question on which we will not
venture to give an opinion"
This declares IN effect that Russia will pounce
upon Silesia, and France upon the Rhenish pro-
vinces of Prussia, in the latter power is
BILE, as she PROFESSIONALLY is, to prevent German
sympathisers from joining the ranks of the Schles-
wg-Hostein. This is the most outrageous insu
that has been offered to any independent nation
| of Europe since the prostraton of Poland. The
London Morning Nstus of the oath, says of it pro-
perly: ....
"We must own that we cannot quite credit the
fact of so brutal assault having been offered to
Prussia and to Germany. The conduct of Prussia
and the Germans, with respect TO Holstein, is
somewhat analogous to the conduct of the French
after 1880, with regard to Belgium. French sym
pathy was so strong, that the rulers of France
could not restrain il, and the result we all know
placed on the throne of Belgium King OF its own
immediate alliance. If, in 1880, Prussia or Eng
land was to have menaced France with the in
vasion Of Alsace or of Normandy, unless she de-
sisted, how would the French have felt the insult,
and how would they have answered it Or sup
pose that, a set-off to England's having aided
Spaniards or Sicans to obtain ralinstitutions,
Russia were to have threatened to disembark an
army in the Wash. Such is the nature of the
threat made not merely to Prussia but to Ger
many. Such is the intelligence that this day
post will bear to the populations on the Rhine and
on tho Oder"
But the settlement of the Schleswig Hostein
war is not the great object of the reactIonary
powers. The great object, especially of Russia
and Austria, is TO force the King of Prussia out OF
the constitutional attitude which he has taken both
with regard to his own kingdom and to the minor
powers who have adhered to its union. If they
could force Prussia to submit once more to the old
Frankfort Federation, and share with Austria the
despotic management Of Germany, the ultra-tory
and ant-constutional party in Prussia could alore
be the ministers TO steer such a course And with
them in power, every remnant not only Of the
freedom gained in Is49 by Germany, but in the
fifteen previous years, would be totally swept
away,
