FROM ROME.
ROME, Aug. 26-Carourian Policy.--Tl Q
measures taken by the Roman police 20
prevent the fomen tation of disorders with
in the city by foreign agents have succeed
ed perfectly, and have unmasked system
of treachery worthy of the inheritors of
the policy of Cavour, as Visconti Venosta
boosted on behalf of himself and colleagues
in the recent debate. A number of ennis
slries actually holding commissions in the
frontiers were arrested on the goth, in diff
ferent parts of Rome and expelled. Two
| of them were captured in the disguise of
itinerant pedlafs selling linen cloth. Such
a circumstance is surely sufficient to prove
the loyalty with which the Italian Govern
ment is prepared to observe the Con. Gu
| The Holy See and the Popers.-The Gi0r-
| male di Roma contains an official contradict
ton of an assertion in the Nortl RUSSIAN
organ), that the Holy See had thrown it
self into the arms of Russia. The official
journal sayse" We can assure our read
| ers that this assertion is utterly unfounded.
The Vatican throws itself into no arms
save those of the Divine founder of the
Catholic Church." There is not, in fact,
any reasonable ground for hope OF Prussian
support at present, and to insult Catholic
France, betrayed by the revolutionary
dynasty which it called to rule its destinies
in q moment of causeless panic, wouits4Ihs
the last act of Plus TX, who owes the rnSet
efhcacious support he has ever received in
his need to the millions of Frenchmen now
doing battle against Prussia. The Pope's
sympathies are we'll known to be with his
Catholic children, and he knows how to
separate France from her rulers. Nothing
could be more disastrous to Catholicity
than complete triumph of Prussia, and
- -
and the resurrection of q Protestant or
semi-infdel German Empire, which, OPP
pressive to the Church when its sceptre
was welded by Catholic hands, would be
worse tenfold in those of a Lutheran Caesar
with an avowed infdel for his Minister
What the Pope does is to pray for peace
and he has attended the Triduo in person
at some one of the churches where it is
celebrated, and will go this evening to ST.
Louis DIES Francais. Prussia is prodigal of
courtesies, and the King himself is prob
ably honest in his expressions of respect
and friendship; but there seems to be- a
very good understanding between NJ. Won
Bismarck and all the Revolt tionists in
Italy, and any wishes for Prussian vic
tories on the part of Catholics seem To us,
here at least, extremely shortsightei. Pow
ers like prophecies must be judged BIZ
events.
st. Louis Of France.-The Pope went
yesterday to the solemn exposition Of the
relics of ST. Louis of France at the church |
of San Luigi del Francese. The Holy Fa- !
ther was accompanied by Mgri. Pucra, dc |
Merode, Casale, and del Bisognn and bv |
the Swiss and Noble Guard. The Lcgion |
OF Antilles were on guard in the chErch
and the French Ambassador, with his Sc
cretary of Legation and attaches, and the
clergy attached to St. Lanis, met the Holy
Father at the door and conducted lin 70
the altar of the Royal Saint, whele Iyue-

music. Mothers and sisters and led |
fathers were there, asking the panai Hene-
diction for sons and brothers, now lighting
for Franco, as they fought for the Pope
at Mentana, and Il more moving scene it
would be difficult to imagine.
English and Irish Folunteers - The
Zouaves were withdrawn from the detached
posts in the Province of Niterbo on Satur-
day, and concentrated in force at that city
and Monteiasconc, in consequence of a
false alarm from Terni, where Prince Hum
bert has arrived during the last two days.
Everything promises we'll for respectable
of English Catholics in the
Papal army. Since my last letter, Mr.
Power, Mp. for Wexford, Mr.. Oswald
Vavasour, and Mr.. Wilfrid Watts Russell
have arrived for the defence of the Holy
See. The name of the brothers Russell is
90 dear to the Zouaves and to all English
Catholics not to make the return of mir q
tNllfrld Russell one of the most welcome
engagements we have to record; and $
he example is the nobler as he is no
onger alone in the world, and has made I
he greatest of sacrifices in leaving a be- I
owed wife to offer his sword for the second
ime to tue Church. r
Fydnce.-Any exultation at the reverses !
It France seems most unworthy of Catho-
les; and even if we look on them as called Z
own by the Pertdy of her rulers, we a
hould never forget that Catholic nations p
ave always. been more severely visited for
Tant of fidelity To their providen tinl mis- II
ions than Protestant ones, WHO are often )
