cheer Cen. Masi. On the 22d, being in the
Borgo, had the pleasure of witnessing !
another ovation to the memory Of the heroes |
who blew up the Serristori barracks In
1867. am bound to add that the process
sion consisted for the major part Of little
boys, and very dirty ones.
The Faithful Departed.-All Souls Day |
and the Anniversary of Montana are COM |
there will be NO public celebration for our |
gallant dead in Rome. We are not even |
free to render them the honor and suffrage
due to soldiers of Christ, save in secret,
but many at distance, in England, Ire
land, France and Belgium, Holland and
Canada, will not forget that day, SO sad to
many, so glorious to all who fought and
conquered or fell there. IA
Papal Zouares in France. The Papal
Zouave, M. le Gonidu, who commanded,
has received the public thanks of the Gov
ernment for his gailantry, and has been
letters which have received fromLeMans
and Anglers this morning, state that TIE
recruitment goes on admirably, and the
Zouaves, or /" VolOntaires de rOuest," as
they are now called, are 1000 strong. They
are the hope of France, and though they
caunot repel the Prussian invasion, they
seem destined to save Catholic France fro n
the horrors OF Red republic. They have
made it a formal condition that they are
| not to act in the same provinces as Carl
baldi, who seems to be most unpopular in
France, save among the scum of the popu-
lace. -
The Coliseum.-We have got rid of the
cavalry, and got worse things than dumb
beasts, as the poor custode predicted. 1t
| has become q haunt of crime and vice, and
the public journals are loudly crying for
remedy. A few nights since a German
family went little before midnight to see
it, and were Mortified by profane and dis
gushing parody of a martyrdOm which was
being enacted by select troupe of the Ro-
man youth. One represented the martyr
and the others the executioners and wild
beasts, and the whole performance was in
terspersed with wicked songs, vulgar
dances, and shouts of laughter. The fam
! lily, though PrOtestants, were SO disguised
that they left Rome the next day, after in
sorting letter in the morning papers to
| that effect.
The Colleges.-The Irish, American and
Propaganda French Seminary are all now
empty their students will not return this
winter. The English and Scottish Colleges
return to- morrow and go into retreat. The
schools are not now public
Observation-Disclosures of poor priests have
been incorporated by the conscriptions In
the Italian army, and are actually saying
Mass in the various churches in the inter-
walls of service. Two presented themselves
the other morning IN the sacristy OF st.
Peters, and begged for the sacred vest
their letters of authorization, and the same
: is daily the case at the Gesu, Gesu e Maria
and other churches. This morning the
Vicariate was thronged with unfortunate
persons who had incurred the excommuni-
cation by voting in the plebisc1te or other
wise taking part in the revolution, and who
were DESTROYS of being admitted to the
, | Sacramento once more.
The Observation-Disclosures as I say above
the Pope continues well, yet he begins to
feel the confinement and want of change O
air and carriage exercise, walking being
: the rector of the English College in private
: audience ON Sunday morning, and spoke
, tstrongly of the Necessity of action among
Catholics, and of the immediate want o
+ propagatfng the trne- version OF events il
Rome. In tbese ye1lsgthe Command ,e
g committee of France in Rome, was admit
d ted to the honor of accompanying the Holy
Father in the Vatican gardens, aud OF con
versing with him at length on affairs. Car
!. dinal Monaco della Valetta and Carolina
:. BonaNrte are among the Pope's most fire
quent companions, and Gen. hanzler Ii
also constantly with him.
, Belgium and Rome.-Very large SUM
have arrived from Brussels for the Hol,
= Fathers present needs, and the Belgian
committee, supported by the BelSlan LIE
CATION in Rome, has resolved to demand o
the Italian Government the restitution o
the arms manufactured at Liege and pre-
scented to the Pope. Why should not thu
- English Remingtons be also claimed ON the
e same grounds The young Belgian Zouav'
;, Bayens, wounded at Porta Pla, has beer
taken charge of by the Comte and Confess
de Schonbnrg, and will pass the winter a
, their residence in Germany.
i, Ireland and Rome.-As ! find many o
my letters came too late for use during thu
invasion, will you grant me few lines 0
:; space to bear renewed testimony to the al
> mirable conduct and the chivalrous con
duct of all the Irish officers and soldiers il
f the service of the Holy See. To Captain
p de la lloyd especially tribute of admira
t ton is due, as he was fortunate enough tt
= have the post OF honor at Porta PIa. Iii
s defence of the gate will rank in histor.
D with Monte Libretti and the sternest cpl
sodes of 1867. We know that "the van i
o. the right of the Irish Brigade" and RICH
? calamity was it vindicated on the goth o
| September. Mr.. Charles Lynch and MI
= O'Clery were also among the Irish volun
,. teers at this point of the defence. You
: Irish readers will not refuse the tribute O
;. a "Saxon" pen to the glorious soldiers Ire
, | land has sent to Rome, or our sincere AM
e cordial congratulations on the tone OF man
e of the best Irish national journals on til
i Roman question, in contrast to those OF tn
