New YORK, October 19.-Pere Hy.

BILE, Is To be waited on tomorrow by
II depuntiOn of clergy from Boston
for the purpose of rendering him a
reception there. He called at Gen.
DiX's house to-day, but the General
was cut in the city, and subsequently
on the French Consul.
The clergy Of New York will take
no action until after the depgtatiGn Of
Boston has ascertained the Pere's in

VOr OF expressing their sympathy for
/ Hyacinthe, on the ground that he rep
J resents in himself great principle OF
! Ecclesiastical liberty. They are to
call attention to his antecedents as
great Catholic priests, and his Opposi-
| ton to the E.cumenieal Council, next
Sunday in Their various churches.
/ 1t is said that Father Heeker, of the
/ Paulist Fathers, is to have an inter-
view with Pere Hyacinthe to-nor-
row, and that he win use his prlestly
1 offices To have him restored to his
former status in the Church.
FROM OUR EXCHANGES.
The New York Herald, in an editO-
rial reviewing the statement of { Uilid
GtttO{ica, says that the sEcumenical
Junta has been summoned not to de-
liberate and decide questions By the
NOte Of the majority, but to ratify de-
cisions already resolved upon bg the
Sovereign and Infallible Pontiti. The
HerQid thinks it is time for Catholics
in America TO cut loose nom Rome,
and says: " 1t is no wonder Father
Hyacinthe has felt has intellectual and
moral nature insulted by the pro-
gramme OF the Council" and hopes
that if he comes here, he will have the
pluck ana spirls u speak out ana give
an account of the faith that is IN him
1t closes by saying that we need such
elO9gsnee as that which Father Hya-
cinthe commands, II We cannot have
him for preacher merely, why can
not we have him for our Pope? If
they will not do things right in Rome
Iet us have a Rome and q Pope of our
oNEn. ANe ,}sVe , cathedral all but
ready, which will serge T0r our st.
Peters. We have money enough to
provide for 4le Legitimate wants of
POntiff. Let Us give the Ecumenical
Council, Rome and the Old World
generally q lesson. The visit Of Father
Hyacinthe viii offer a good OppOrtu-
nifty. 1t will not do for us to be tied
10 the tail Of Europe forever"
The lQpcI'vE a. DcbGts, of Paris,
quotes the following from FaTher
Hyacinthe's letter:
" If the august assembly has not
more liberty in its deliberations than
it has already had in its preparation;
ii, IN YOru, iJ Nere deprived OF the
characteristics essential to an Ecu
menical Cou1eil,H then 1t might hap
pen that, In a more or less short time,
another council might be seen as
sembled 4" really representing the
Universal Church, and not the silence
OF some and the opposition of Others"
And the Journal adds:
The situation Is grave, They nc
doubt thought in Rome that the as
sembly which they convOked would
only meet for form, in order to ratify,
by a unanimous vote, decisions re-
s6iY6d On beforehand in petite c0asae
by the most rabiq Of the Ultramon-
tanes. The attitude Of the German
which, it il said, the !
Bishops of America are taking-and |
the 50 dignifiedly sad complaints OF |
one of the most illustriOus members |
of the French church-all seems to |
announce that the Council will not let |
itsslf be so easily directed as was 1
hoped short time ago. II the Syila- |
bus is to come out triumphant from |
the future assembly, it will, at least, |
not triumph without combat, and /
IFS triumph migAt well be epHeme-
ral."
To which the Cincinnati Gazetie re- |
spends that it may be that the council /
called by the Pope, to consolidate his /
will be the cspse OF a /
TO resume the ancient SOW
Of each national church, sub
ect only to the supremacy ofa council
Of the whole church. But we are not
able 10 see what ground there is for
The impression which seems current in
Europe, that the American Bishops
viii be found on the side OF those who
will oppose this Capitalization Of pow
er and infallibility in the Pope. 1t
may be thought that their contact
With American institutions would
give them these ideas of
'huTch government; but it seems to
Is that this contact has only excited
he aptagOnlsm Of the Catholic Bish-
IDS in America, and this leads us to
hink that they win be found the most
Jealous supporters of the infallability
md absolutism of the Pope.
