public audience in the course of the morning
Catholics present of the dangers Of liberalism
:" trust" said the Pope, that this great Ca
tholic statesman l speak of, had the grace, in
evil his example has done" great loss has has
been sustained by the Catholic body in the
person of NJ. de Riancey, the editor of the
onion: His second son wac for some time a
Pontifcal Zouaye, and bis eldest son will con-
'tinue'to conduct the Union on the truly Ca

to his faithful adberent
NiHtasy-The sham fight took place yester-
day, at the Campagna, near Magliana, which
viii give good idea of the locality to English
College readers. 1t is on the old road to CIvita
Vecchia, the Via Aurelia, and the ground was
remarkably we'll chosen. The weather was
sunny but cool, owing to the high north winds,
peaks were remarkably clear and beautiful.
General Zappi commanded the defence of Rome,
having the Line, the Swiss, the Roohefoucault
ambulance corps under his orders; and Gen.
Courten with the Zouaves and Legion, the
Dragons and mounted battery represented
the Garibaldians, and were, of course, soundly
beaten The sparP-shooting of the zouaves
was really admirable, and their retreat was a
beautiful sight, as they turned every few
yards and, forming an Ga tiraillear on the
armies bivouacked after the LATHE in . beauti-
ful green valley, closed in by wooded hills,
and no sight could be prettier than the white
sne
dining under the thickets of cork and lick.
Most Of tho Catholic committees were repre-
sented, and among the royal personages present
cany tho Counts of Trani, Trapani, Girgenti
Caseyta and Bari, and their families. Many of
the Bishops were also present. The Defle /"
took place at st. Peters on the return Of the
troops in the presence of an immense crowd.
Although Rome had been left utterly ungar-
risOned, not the slightest disturbance took
place. The troops, for the first time at q wa
ball as well as blank cartridge, in case Of any
attempt at insurrectiOn. In the crowd at st.
Peters q great many unmistakable revolution
airy agents were to be observed, all natives of
the north of Italy. Colonel Peyrault is APP
pointed to the command of the Legion. He is
q very severe disciplinarian, and, it is said,
good officer He isofthe same regiment as the
Comte darcy, and a native of Lyons, but be-
yond those details nothing is known of him.
Several English Zouayes. have arrived this
week, and more are expected. They will soon
be needed, for everything indicates APP
preaching struggle.
The facts relative to the suspension of the
Requiem servicefor NJ. de Montalembert, a fact
Of which the telegraph is certain to have in
notice was sent in the name of the family to |
all the Catholic French visitors and all the |
officers of the Pontifical Army, the Catholic
clergy and bishops, to attend q funeral service
at Ara C1li, for the soul of the deceased states
man. No authorization had been asked or. OBJ |
tanned. of the Cardinal Vicar, and Is it was
evidently intended rather political demon
stratiOn than as a religious asst, orders were
given that under the circumstances public |
obsequies should take place in Rome till
Coli, among whom were the General of the
Jesuits,s and N. Veuillot and his family, but no |
service took place. Consistory is to be held
Anglers aud Grenoble among others. No Car
dinals are to be created, and need not tell |
you the gossip in the revolutionary papers re- I
is a
most liberal and impartial manner, presenting
Mgrs. Deschamps, Manning, Darboy aud Da-
panloup with that symbol of dignity. The
Prince de valori has published q new work.
Rome, Le Christ ct Le C0acile. 1t is chef
Tearre of eloquence, and is written in an ex-

in Transporting, near the bridge of st. Angelo,
and assisted at Mass he had ordered to be
celebrated for the repose of the soul of N. de
hequenters of the Church were present. The
Bishop of Orleans, it appears, intended to

Is the whole Gallican party had agreed to as

Ipicuous in the affair. Everything seems most
critical here, In the political sense, and all ex
