TION.
The text of Baron Beust's reply to the Papal
aocuton is published 1t is dated Vienna July B.
and addressed to Baron Won Meysenbug The following
is full translation
Ihave received with your reports Of the 2-d and 23d OF
June the text Of the alocutOn delivered by the Holy
known 10 your ENceHeucy by teiegtaph tue uIoI
Impression which that manifestation has produced

words. We assuredy appreciate tne lrendy SonSlusta

PontIncal alocutiOn compared with many other docu
ments OF the same nature emanated from the Hoy sec
does really bear the stamp OF certain tendency 10 tenn

We caDnot, in tile first place, admit tho obligation
which imposes the Holy See the necessity OF following

Holy See has had to complain Is 1t possible III Iact 70
or the property Of the ChuTch Have we oppressed the
Catholic religion and its mhhstersf Putting aSide et
boldly affirm that there country In Europe where
the Catholic Church has 80 privileged position as IN
circumstance ought TO have been taken into nc
count before the imperial government was con-
founded I'm the same repruhaton with other govern
ments which we're In opposition To the Church and inc
Catholic religion IN different way. We can 9nderstana
that the Holy Father may have felt 10 10 be- indispensable
TO protest against the laws when moduy the SITUATION
created bY the ConcOrdat OF 1855. We fully expected
proceeding OF this kind and might have accepted II
silently il It's form less cOncatOry thdn we
permitted ourselves 10 hope But what cannot pass
over without objection is the condemnation hurled
against the fundamental laws on which the new nsuu
tions OF the empire are based These laws the
subject Of disputc and by attacking them has the
Holy deeply wounds the national feeling ana gives 70
the present difference meaning that IA very much 10 be

simply cOntesng this or that application OF the prc
pies which form the bases Of the present Government OF
Austria aud which the fruit OF the happy accord be-

Before concluding, must here also express the painful
surprise which the appeal addressed to the Hungarian
bishops the closing sentences Of the alocutOn has pro
