Morning Star and Catholic Messenger.

YReH ROME.

-.
The Pope has driven out frequently this
week, and is perfectly well and cheerful.
The internal state Of the city, happily,
continnes tranquil, as ID that Of the from
ner, Dut every precaution is being taken
against emergencies. Father Ignatius, of
the Ordcr of Passicnists, was consecrated
Vicar Apostolic Of Bucharest on Sunday
last, the Cardinal-Vicar being the conse-
4ratOr. The ceremony took place at the
Church of San Giovanni Paolo on the
SCelian a number of Prelates were pres
emit. Father Ignatius's missionary labors
have made him widely known. From
Vienna the rumor of an alliance between
Austria and Italy is confirmed by private
letters, and it is said that any reverse of
Prussia would be followed by declaration
of war by the two other powers named,
and IN attack on the Bavarian Tyrol. One
thing is certain, that Gen. Cardorna's army
is four times as large as is needed for hold
ing the frontier, for which purpose, as
Count Crotty observed in his admirable
speech in the Senate, 1000 men could suf-
hce-2O, 600 could occupy Rome, and yet

man confines, for what purpose is mystery

Turin from Sicily two days since, and class
after class is called into activity. The Re-
publican committee have decided on send

ing on them to protest against the tardi-
solution of the Roman question, and seem
sufficiently inclined to give trouble in the
matter. "A ilo-Gallicap meeting of

Roman question. and they were collected
and printed in 1867, and would have been
distributed but for the arrival of the French
at Montana. The Holy Father has, it is
believed, reserved them to lay before
future Congress, the point to which all
thoUghts. in Italy are turning. Force is to
be laid aside till it can be conveniently
used, and when the powers shall have as
signed to Italy the Patrimony of st. Peter,
leaving Rome as neutral city to the Pope.
The Florentine iourbals state that the
Austrian and English Governments intend
making some representation on this head
= to the Con gress, and have till then recon-
mended a suspension of all violent action.
The question is becoming daily more and
more a vital and European one, and con-
Germs every individual Catholic throughout
the world as nearly as the integrity of their
own country.
Court and Diplomatic.-As there are two
currents in the Cabinet, there are two in the
firmly opposed to any aggression on Rome,
and to DO supported in that view by the
Princess Clothilde, Prince Amadeus, and
his wife, the Duchess of Aosta, the Duchess
of Genoa, and the Prince of Carignano;
whereas Prince Humbert is vowed to the
worst excuses of the Revolution, and de-
sires nothing so much as to head an expedi-
ton on Rome. 1t is on this account that
Victor Emmanuel has refused to abdicate,
having been implored by the moderate

Prince Napoleon has left Florence, burning

turn to the army he always quits SO unwill-

received by the Emperor. The neutrality
of Italy is daily becom ing more difficult to
maintain, and the indignation evinced by
the Court of the Tuileries at the refusal to
furnish "a contingent is unbonnded. The
object of Prince Napoleon's mission was, it
seems, to obtain one, and, failing in this
object to insist on Italy lending her influ-
ence. conformity with Austria, to preserve
the dynasty in any future treaty. 1t is
probable that France will take that matter
out of the hands of the corps diplomatique.
Papdl Tolunteers.-Several gentlemen

nexed Provinces noble example of cour-
ageand self-devOtion, as their property is at
the mercy of any dominant factions in
Italy which choose to make their loyalty to
fhesPope a pretext for confiscatiOn. The
committees of Belgium, Holland, and Can
ada continue to enroll actively for the

made in England has had an excellent
effect here and given.the highest satisfac-
ton to the Pontifical War Office. Who
knows hut the campaign of restoration may

take prominent share in 7 Among the
veteran officers who have returned from
leave ofebsence, there has been one well
coined with universal satisfaction, that of
the Irish Brigade's excellent chief surgeon,
DIR. o'Fiynn, whose long term of service has
been one series of acts of kindness and of
devotion to his profession. 1t is sincere
o pleasure to record his promotion, which
has only been an act of just recognition of
his services and his courage in the field of
battle assurgeon to the Legion at Monte
Rotondo and Nerola. He is now attached
to the artillery.
Sept. 3.-The Florentine journals of this
evening are by no means reassuring. 1t is
very evident that the Government have
overshot the mark in moderation, and that
two of the Cabinet at least, Raeli and Sella
are opposed to any suspension of the Ro-
man question. Prince Napoleon, who is
still Ia italy (at Turin), is doing all he can
to hound on the revolution against the
Pope as a safer course of action than fight
ing the Prussians, and Marco Minghetti is
