at Rome that M. Darius ambassador should be

intin.idste the Council, as we observed last
week, has been to weaken the Opposition"
The Nasione now admits that they have
dwindled TO forty, and that further desertions
dent Of the MONDE mentions . fact which is
fully confirmed by our own intelligence from
Rome. Mgr. simOr, Archbishop Of Gran and
other Magyar Prelates, has finally declared in
favor of the Definition. It is added that "the
Austro- Hungarian 1nopportunists will shortly
be reduced to two OF three, who will certainly
not venture to brave the anathemas of the
Church." The Liberal journals of Pesth al
ready revile /" tho deserters." The Cardinal
Archbishopsof Vienna, it is further stated in
writings his personal belief in the infallibility
of the Pope. The dogma which was to divide
the Council and the Church into two camps,
as celebrated inopportunist declared; will be
with the exception of . very small number of
Prclates, who are not likely to return to their
dioceses"--probably because the clergy, and
faithful Of those dioceses have 30 emphatically
fepudiated Gallican doctrines.
We rejoice to hear that tho solitary French
Bishop, who had complimented n. Gratry,

nounced upon that person ny so many any Of his
"The bishop Of Saint Brieuc," says the Osssr-
ratore Cattotico Of Milan, I" expressed to the
Holy Father his regret, and his desire to do so
with his usual benevolence. 1t is probable
that Mgr. David will shortly give o public
proof of the regret which he feels on account
and published against his will The hand Of
God is more and more plainly manifested" 1t
is no doubt because the Sovereign POntif sees
the evidence Of this truth, and contdes in the.
he lately refused, when solicited by Mgr.
Stems, of Calcutta, and two other missionary
Bishops, to interfere in any way with the order

After An interval of eighteen. days. during
which the Fathers have been examining the
.Schema.d Ecclcsia the thirtieth General C0ngre-
CATION was held on the 18th. The Primate of
Hungary made q report to the Council of the
labors of the Commission dc Eide, after which
the Archbishops of Nisibis and Smyrna, and
the Bishop of Ivrea addressed the Fathers.
The doctrines of the revised Schema dc Eide il
said to be identical with that originally pro-
posed but differently expressed: It is thought
that the first definition Of the Vatican Council,
which will bc received with joy by all Chris
tians, will be made at IN early date. The next
CONGREGATION was to meet on the 22nd. 1t il
said that there may possibly be Public Session
- eafly as the 25th.
The Abbe Gratry.-The condemnntions of this
ecclesiastic, whose scandalous writings have
only FASTENED the final sentence upon CALI
canism, multiply every day. Tho canonical
Judgements of the Archhishops of Toulouse and
Cambria are now before us. Declare to all
the faithful,P says the former, that his letters
are full of reckless or erroneous assertions,
violent invecsives, and peEfdious insinuations;
of irreverences against the Apostolic Chair,
against the Council, and against the chief pas
tors of the Church. Beg them above
all, in our name, to attach themselves more
and more closely to the Chair of Peter, to pray,
and to expse. With al obedience .s 1.-THE the publ
will inspire tho Council to announce" II
congratulate my dear and excellent clergy"
writes the Archbishop of CaIhbrai, that the
while scattering them in profusion among the
presbeteries of many other dioceses, have
abstained from sending them into mine. Let
us hope that Providence has permitted this
new scandal only to draw from it, according to
the invariable law, greater good" Another
Father Of the Vatican Council has pronounced
condemnation upon this unfortunate priest,
and upon the ideas which he represents. In a
lotter to the Bishop Of,Strasbourg, Mgr. Battles,
formerly Bishop of Lucon, reprobates +" the I'M.
.exampled violence of style which reproduces
the blasphemous declarations of Fra Paolo
Sarpi. Of the aIustates de Domnis and Casimir
Oudin, and the passionate attacks OF the sworn
enemies Of our holy religion in the last century.
