LETTER PROM FATHER HYACINTHE-The
following is the substance of the letter written
by Father Hyacinthe to the Evangelical ALI
ance" meeting held i'm New York on THURSDAY:
Father Hyacinthe said that he felt gratifed at
the honor shown his discOurses i'm Paris by their
republication i'm English. He would have been
glad to have had them more worthy: but, such
as they were, he committed them to the world
He added that he presented them to America
and those Protestants churches of which his tai
ented translator was one Of the heads. He was
proud Of being Frenchman, and hoped France
would soon initiate the country which she had
done 70 much TO hberate during the revolution
He said he continued faithful to the Catholic
Church. IL he had entered protest against her
usurpatiOns, one could judge of his love by the
bitterness Of his lamentations. However, he
was none the less sensible TO the sympathies of
the churches OF other faiths In the stand he had
taken. He did not think that churches sepa-
rated from the Catholic communion are beyond
the pale OF the Holy Ghost. Whatever NAV di
vide us now, we will he united in the space Of
time, and all live in hopes Of the same eternity
and love of the same God. We are all laboring
in common for the gredt Church Of TIE future. Men
had laughed his ideas to scOrIi, but that he had
expected. After expressing himself further, he
concluded by SAYING that he looked forward 70
one God, one faith. one baptism, and one shep-
hsrd, and signed himself brother Hyacinthe."
