LETTER FRox RolH.
RokE, May 2s.o1he Coxncis-The sit
tings this week are abridged two days b,
the occurrence of the feasts of the Ascen
sion and st. Philip Neri, patron of Rome
ON neither of which days General Congre
cations could be held. The sessions have
two last week since my last letter, and the
progress OF the discussion is very slow, only
three or four speakers having occupied the
tribune during each session. Two of the
speeches have been of especial interest and
Importance to English and Irish Catholics.
They are those of Cardinal Cullen and Mgr.
Leahy, Archbishop of Cashel. So far they
are considered the speeches of the discus
sion on 1nfallibiiity. Cardinal Cullen is
said to have completely silenced Mgr. He
fele, Bishop. of Rottenburg. al have
heard, said his Eminence, "tIe arguments
against the privilege of Peter and his suc-
cessors alleged by the Bishop of Rotten
burg. heard them long since, when wasl
seminarist, but I heard them quoted as|
propositions long ago refuted and consigned
TO oblivion" quote from the, version
which commonsreport circulates in Rome,
indisputable is that his Eminence's speech.
made q profound impression. Of the Arch
bishop of Cashel's it has only TRANSFERRED
that IL was an admirable aud learned dis-|
course in support Of the definition. All is'
said to be proceeding with the greatest
calm, order and earnestness, and gives
good hope Of definition being arrived atI
by So. Peter and Paul. The Council will
not separate till this has been done, and
the General Congregations will continue, it
is thought, through the summer, on matters
of q less generally interesting nature. Pro
hAOlV the Oriental onG hot nfU
Foreign missions will be proceeded with,
and this will permit great number of
Bishops not directly interested to return to
their diOceses. M. de Bonneville has re-
ceived fresh instructions from the Due de
Grammont, ordering him to adhere to the
Tour d'Auvergpe, and to let the Daru dis
patch alone. Count Beust Is, says the
Nds1one, about,to address a note to Cardi-
nal AntOneiii, to protest against the pro-
test of the Ponti6cal Nuncio at Vienna,
who has, says the same paper, notified to
the Imperial Government that the Pope
will not confirm the nomination Of Mgr.
StrOssmayer to the See of Agram. The
benighted English Catholics in Rome have
learned, from the comparatively harmless
correspondence of the Morning Post, that
Mr. Odo Russell has united his little "oG-
cieuS" protest to the great official protest of
France and Austria. This tremendous
event passed 80 completely unobseryed
that no one heard of it save the persons
and it is not understood to have
affected the debates in any way.
