eS LETTER FROM ROME .,eft
ROME, April s.-The Council seems to have
entered new phase, and the dispatch of busi.
ness causes nothing to be desired. Sessions
are held every day, and the third and fourth
discussed before the end of. this week.
On the 31st Of Marctp( Thursday the speakers
were Mgri. Errington, rchbishop of Trebi-
ada Manpas of lara Dupanloup, of Orleans;
Menrin, vicar-Apostolic of Bombay; Gandolfii,
of Corneto; Moreira, of Ayacucho.
On the 1st of April the debate was opened by
Mgri. Dnbreuil, of AviynOn; Marguerye, OF
Antun; Gandolf, of Corneto Rainaldi, of Pine
rOfo GenOulhiac, of Grenoble; Caixul, of Orgel
Ferre, of Casale; Celesia, of Patti; Magnasco,
OF boiina; Gastaldi, of Saluzza; and Mermil-
The eloquent Coadjutor of Geneva spoke in
reply to some of the allegations of the OPPOSE
tion, but was in no way prepared to speak in
Latin, and commenced his discourse with an
appeal for indulgence to the Fathers in con
sideration of the matter in hand. His speech
was, however, thoroughly to the poiut, al
man standard, and made an excellent impress
sion in the Aula.
On the Sd and 4th of April the session was
opened by Mgr. Gasser, Prince Bishop of
Brixen, as RelatOr of the Commission, and the
rest of the time was occupied in voting on the
various paragraphs and canons of the chapters
under discussion.
The exact details regarding the expulsion of
three English ladies are as follows:-The
Italian police of>Picaenza and Pav,a sent a
friendly warning to the police of Rome that a
correspondence of the Mazzinian party, for
the purpose of exciting an instruction in
Rome, was being Carried on through the
means of the above-named ladies. A very
large packet was observed, in fact, at the post
was accordingly opened, and was found to CON
tain number of letters for distribution
among the partizans of Mazzini in Rome
Several packages had evidently found their way
to the revolutionary centres before the dis
cOvery was made, and the Roman Government
very properly gave warming to the three ladies
to leave the Papal States, whose hospitality
they had 30 dishonorably abused. One Of the
ladies either was, or pretended, to be ill, and
refused to leave her room, but the other two
ladies were escorted to the station, and started
they rsfased entry into the Italian territory
by the police of Victor Emmanuel as dangerous
characters and sympathizers with Masinni.
They then had recourse to the clemency of the
Pope, and finally were allowed to return tenn
porarily to Rome on promise Of strict alb
stinence from political affairs. The two latter
ladies state that they were perfectly ignorant
them, but it is extremely difficult to credit
this in the present state of Italy, and the no.
torious sympathy of English Professionals with
any party, however sanguinary and irreligious,
that presents itself under the suspicious mark
of en- enemy of Plus TX.
The Holy Father went on Sunday to Santa
Oroce in Gerusalemme to consecrate the Agnus
tercian community and by q. crowd of Catholic
visitors of all classes and nationalities. A
burst OF cheering greeted his approach, and
the the cries Of vive Ia PaPe lnfalibiew rose
which has replaced Vive le Pape Row the
"Vox Populi" which will soon receive the
confirmation of the vox Del" in the assem-
bled Council of the Universal Church.
The contrast of the material conditions of
the Italian and Papal armies strikes every one
on arriving in Rome, and even the most preju-
that the comparison is strongly in favor of our
gallant "mercenaries." Among the late en-
rollments in the Zouaves may be noted the
only son of the Marquis de Berthier of Tou-
louise, and the Vicomte Charles dErsel, second
son of the noble Belgian house of that name.
The Pontifical troops now in garrison were
marched three or four miles out of Rome yes
terday Tor the purpose of man0arre a fen,
which was signal success. The Zouaves, as
before, represented the attacking force and
showed their usual elan and rapidity of move
ment. The honors of the day were this time
reserved for the Swiss Carabineers, whose
final charge at pas gyn,nastiqme up the heights
occupied by the heavy artillery was one of the
most beautiful movements, i'll the opinion of
the foreign officers present ever executed. The
line of the Swiss was maintained steady as
wall, in spite of the rapidity of the charge
and the rugged nature of the ground, the fly
ing " Batterie de Montagne," under NJ. de Ia
lasence, and manned by Tyrolese and Breton
artillerymen supporting the regiment in flank.
The NdsiOne states that the Prussian legation
has received orders to urge the return of the
Prussian bishops in case the Council should
adopt any decisions dspleasing to the Lutheran
population Whether this be correct not,
there is no doubt that an agitation in that
sense is setting in Berlin, pushed on by the
German Freemasons. ~.
ID. de Bonneville returns this week, and will
be warmly welcomed in Rome by all good Ca
tholics. His attitude in regard to the Council
has beer most friendly, and that he has steadily
refused to lend himself to the intrigues of the
Gallcan party is another title to the respect of
all. The opponent bishops have, to great
extent, ceased to frequent his salon since the
Dupanloup to M. Cockin and by him shown to
n. Daru and returned to NJ. de Bonneville, in
which his Excellency was termed "Notre chiffon
d. A,cbdssadear."
Rustem Bey, Minister of Turkey at Florence,
has been here for the purpose of examining
the claims of the dissident Armenans. AS
Cardinal Antoneli's fairness and courtesy left
gave, there is every reason to believe the Vati-
can Will gain by this visit, although Rustem
Bey (who is an Italian) has no very strong
sympathies with Rome. There is, however,
only one point of view in which to look the
whole dissident Armenian body. They are the
tools of the schsmatic Russian Propaganda,
now going on more actively than ever.
