The following is the allOcutiOn delivered
by the Pope on the occasion of the promul-
cation of the infallibility dogma:
The activity of the Sovereign Pontiff has
been great, but it does not destroy, it builds;
it does not oppress, it sustains, and it often
defends the rights of our brethren; that is,
the rights of the bishops and of some who
have not voted with us. Let them feel that
they have voted in error, and let them re-
member that few years ago they thought
as we do. Have they then two consciences;
two ideas on the same subject! Heaven
forbid. We pray then that God, who alone
works miracles, will illumine their hearts
and minds, that they may return to the bo-
som Of their father, the Sovereign Pontitt,
the unworthy vicar of Christ, and work
with us against the enemies of the church.
Let it SO be that we may say with St. Au-
gustine, "Lord, you have given your ad-
mirable light, and now we see."
Nav Heaven bless you all.
The official journal this morning pub
fishes the following proclamation from the
Emperor to the people of France:
Frenchmen-There are events in the
life of people, of solemn moment, when
the national honor is violently excited,
which presses itself irresistibly and rises
above all other interests, and applies itself
with single purpose of directing the des-
tiny OF a nation. One of these decisive hours
has now arrived for France.
Prussia, to whom we have given evidence
most conciliatory dispositions, has held our
good will OF no account, and has returned
our fOrbearance by encroachments. She has
aroused distrust in all quarters, necessitat-
ing exaggerated armaments, and has made
OF Europe camp, where reigns disquiet
and fears of the morrow.
A final incident has disclosed the insta-
bility of the international understanding,
and shown the gravity of the situation. In
the presence of her new pretensions Prussia
was made to understand our claims: they
were eyaded, and followed with contempt
uous treatment; our country manifested
profound displeasure at this action, and
quickly the war cry resounded from one
end of France to the other. There remains
for us nothing but to contde our destinies
to the chance of arms. We do not make
war upon Germany, whose independence
we respect.
We pledge ourselves that the people COM
posing the great Germanic nationality shall
dispose freely of their destinies As for us,
we demand the establishment of q state Of
things guaranteeing our security, and as
