that il is source of perpetual annoyance and vexatlo
great deal Of time is taken up in looking after house

not so generally known many Others TO the American
traveller Here as doubtless elsewhere, yon meet Win
excellent company which you would lose IN private
apartments have made the acquaintance OF seVeral
interesting families, mostly well educated and friendly
English people, with the like OF whom social
intercourse forms one Of the most agreeable re-
membranes of European travel. There was
spacious drawng-room, well warmed, and that
is rare thing in Italy, in which little groups were
always found in the evening" and in the afternoon before
dinner and the number at the table dhOe was not 100
large 10 prevent the frequent enjoyment OF geheIa anu
agreeable conversation The Council, OF course, was
and "A
amusing to hear the recital of the maneuvers must
so call them Of different individuals in order to pluck
out the heart of the mystery which broOded over the
proceedings Of that august assembly. We know inoio
about now than did them to be sure but the very
concealment gave keen edge to curiosity, ana auueu
zest to the cOnectures Of which every hour was pro
life. 1t was piquant to witness the wrath oil our
English friends against the course OF Archbishop
Manning They looked upon him as the dres foe 10 the
British Constitution with such incredible audacly as W
wish the subsection of Church and State to the authoy
Of Rome Among our company was PLAIN, uhpreuehu-
ing member of Parliament from the INTERIOR VINO Dore
the title OF barOnet with great mOdesty Another was
maorrenera in the British army, alert aud vigorous
under weight Of seventy years, fresh from 'he ES
India service, after long absence, ana pqued WIN al
eager interest in the strange turn which AFFAIRS were
takingin Rome. He bluff, hearty, outspoken gen
eman Of the old English school, OF the hndhest temper
and manners perhaps little too cholerc at umes ana
often expressing his opinions on the Roman ques-
ton in language that savored less of the Church
than of the army The worthy barOnet was more moder
ate but not less decided in the utterance OF nus cOnc
ons Neither could conceal his chagin that such views
as Dr. Mannngs should be entertained by one who had
been educated English University, and had held an
honorable position in the English church The state OF
mind from which proceeded the ideas in question was to
them marvellous, inconceivable. They had no objection
TO the pretense Infabty, considered abstracy; 1t
might be harmless in its Application to the dogmas
Of religion and the discipline of the Church, but when IL
came TO the Pope, "A temporal sovereign, claiming
authority over the governments Of Europe. Including
that OF Protestant England, words seemed 10
them too strong to express ther aphofrence
and Indignation This is the doctrine, however, which
Archbishop Manning asserts as appears In his discourse
on the Liberties Of the Church" OF which gave you
brief account in letter from Rome last Winter, ana
which is distinctly expressed in the scheme OF Papa
Infabity part Of which has already been decreed in
! the Council do not know that the gentlemen, Win
whom conversed cherished any actual fears as TO the
integrity of the British Constitution under the Cathohc
| programme supported by Archbishop Manning. They
looked only inevitable, logical consequences They
had an instinct Of the possibilities involved in the claim
of temporal Jurisdiction, adjunct OF spiritual lha-
| Nbility. Bnt in my intercourse with thein, II
| frequently occurred to me, that there might
he foundation for rational apprehension in view of the
future Suppose that Pope hereafter armed win
the function Of supreme authority In the State as wei as
tho Church should mandate against an act OF the
English Parliament. Suppose that he should den0unce
the reignng sovereign hereto and excommmicate,
every Catholic in the realm would not only be absoyed
from his allegiance but could not yield obedience to tho
law without exposure to the penalties of the Church
His duties as all English subject would be made void by
his obligations to the Roman power He could not con-
time TO be an obedent citizen under his own Govern
ment without periling his soul by dsobedience to the
Papa decree The effects of this on the discipline OF the
army of which large portion consists of Catholic
soldiers could easily be anticipated by my English mil
ary friend The subject often alludedto but never
| fully discussed though the material was abundant.
The samereasOnng applies to all the Protestant gov
ernments Of Europe. IL applies as well to that OF me
Catholic, but neutral in matters Of religion Suppose
the Pope il into his aged head to favor the
Fenian movement every Catholic in the country would
be bound give his support Suppose that during our
war with the South should have taken sides with the
Rebellion in the assumption Of Infalhbilty what cain,
Ollie would have dared to serve in the any or render ana
