ROME April lit is lovely weather, and even the
gayy painted birds now Gagged in Council are longing
to take fight and soar away. No such good fortune
awaits them or any of us however; here all must re-
main until the consummation of that great object for
which 200 or 800 Fathers of the Church were called
together from the four quarters of the globe What
is thought of the dogma of Infalblity in Rome may
be inferred from the blasphemOus satire which L
send you.

Born Of the mud, wills to create himself Cod
Plus the Ninth, however, has no doubts, no mis-
giyings and is more resolved than ever as is evident
from the following speech delivered in the Vatican
on the oath of March when distributing dresses and
| decorations to various missionary Bishops.

all, and which yet impugncd by those who,
calling themselves the friends Of Cesar are friends OF

Of God without being hatered by the applause Of the
world without being frightened at that which Is
called public opinion, OF which there are so many un-
happy victims. repeat it, be united with me- and not

Meanwhile, give you the benediction. bless you in

Son. bless you in the name OF the Holy Spirit; and
may this blessing accompany you in your missions, and
fory you for the accomplishment of the arduous and
holy work intrusted to your zeal May descend upon
your clergy and on all the faithful committed to your
care. May keep you united III this world that may
be eternally so in another
There is deep conviction, there is strong resolu-
ton in these words and Plus the Ninth, while incu-
eating the great virtue of humility, expresses his
determination to resist public opinion and all the
civil governments of the world. First, let me aude
to his sirmishes with the Orentals. About the end
of January, a Chaldean Archbishop was persuaded
to cede certain ancient rights of his church; and
now the Chaldeans at home, in their great irritation,
have sought and obtained tho support of the French
Government. No wonder therefore, that in the
hour of danger the Pope processes to love the Oen-
tails well and lavishes upon them his Establishments
With the Armenans His Holiness has not been more
successful the schsm is accomplished fact, and

and Bolognese by origin, has arrived here to alay

| The animus of the Pontifcal Government may,
however, be inferred from the following incidents
No sooner was ii understood that the Schismatic
Armenans had applied to the French Government
than an eccesiastic sent to make an apostolica
visit TO the community of the Antoniani, near st
Peters The Antonian who are Armenians, were

Pope The Friars, however, declined the visit
declaring they were masters Ill their own mousse
