FOREIGN CATHOLIC INTELLIGENCE.

ROME, August 23-We copy the follow
ing items of news from the Catholic Reals
ter:
The kingdom of Italy is in a great state
of commotion at the liberty taken with it's
new laws and ordinances by the newly-
appointed Bishop of Magliano. Cardinal
Reisacll, who has been named as the sue
cessor of Cardinal PAndrea, in the diocese
of the Sabine, went on Saturday, the 9Th of
August, to take possession of his See, and,
nnprovided with the Royal Exequatur, not
having fear of the revolution before his
eyes, did actually, in his cathedral church
of Magliano, mount his episcopal throne,
and there assist ponti6eally at high mass,
giving the Papal Benediction to the people
at the conclusion of the ceremony. That
any cardinal should profane the sacred soil
of freedom was bad enough, but that CardiS
nal Reisach, of all men, should beard the
Italian authorities, being, as the Riei
saries," was an act of lese prefecture that
Signor Martricola, Project Of Rieti, and ex:
colleague of Fausti and Venanzi, could not
brook, and the issue has been formal pro-
secution aglinst his Eminence, the Royal
Procurator having arrived in Rieti for the
the cardinal officiated in the most public
manner possible, will not be very difficult
to obtain.
The order of the day of General Bixio,
from the camp of Fojano, called forth
fitting reply on the Feast of the Assump-
tion from General Dumont, the Command
ant of the Corps Expeditionnaire at Civita
Vecchia. A dinner was given as usual that
day by General Dumont, to which the
delegates of the city, Monsignor Scapitta,
and the officers of the garrison, both French
and Pontitcal, were invited. The delegate
proposed the Emperor's health in the follow
ing words : &c 1t is with the liveliest salts
faction that propose toast of the health
of the Emperor, whose feast France cele-
brates to- day. 1t is not long since that, on
the anniversary of the Pope's coronation,
had the pleasure of expressing all my graft
to the Holy See. To-day have the great
est pleasure in renewing it, and of express
ing my most fervent wishes that Sod may
grant the Emperor length of days, in which
he may continue to labor for the good of
your iIlustrious nation, and that Heaven
weight of empire with him, and the Prince
Imperial, the hope of France. Long live
the Emperor !" General Dumont replied
81 drink to the health of his Holiness
Plus TX, the Sovereign Pontiff and to pro-
longation of his precious life. Placed as we
are at his side, to watch over the mainten-
ance of his rights, we shall know how,
should they be menaced second time, to
fulfill the noble mission his Majesty the
Emperor has entrusted to u.s." This is
language there is no installing; and the
efforts of the Italian Government to obtain
the recall of the French troops from Rome
have only called forth this public and Of
fetal declaration of the national resolve to
defend the rights of the Pope.
NJ dc Belot, exgarde du, corps of Charles
y, and who proved faithful to his master
by accompanying him on his journey to
Cherbourg after the days of July, 1880, has
just died, says Paris letter, to the immense
grief of the poor, and especially of the rag
gatherers of the capital. He died at Blois,

in relieving those whose only means of
livelihood is the sale offenders, carcasses
