New YORK, Aug. S.-The Pope has addressed
the following letter to Cardinal Prizzini, Bishop
Of Rome:
When God, in his impenetrable designs, per-
mitted that the capital of Italy should be wrong
fully occupied, the usurpers proclaimed that
Rome was necessary to the integrity of Italy and
the perfection of all other parts, as if there were

which continue under their former government,
and which L hope will ever remain so. But the
purpose Of these great workmen of revolution was
not only to usurp a city like Rome, but their pur-
pose was and is still to destroy the centre of
Catholicism and even Catholicism itself. In or
der to accomplish the ruin of an indestructible
edifce, all the ungodly, all the free thinkers. all
the sectarians of the world, have lent their aid by
sending each their contingent to this metropolis.
All these little battalions have united into one
body, and their intention is to insul and break
the images of The Holy Virgin Mary and of the
saints. Their aim is to Willy and hunt down the
ministers of the sanctuary to desecrate the
churches to multiply the houses of prostitution;
to assail the ears of the godly by their sacriligious
clamors, and to infuse into the hearts and minds
chiefly SO among the young-the venom of i'm
piety, by the reading of certain journals known
to be impudent, lying, hypocritical ard irreIigi-

A Herald correspondent, writing from Rouen,
says the Prussian occupation of France is every
day rendering the situation more unpleasant.
The strife and bloodshed between a small number
of German and French people for theft, and the
murders of private soldiers have taken place,
render the Prussian soldiers more harsh and
in feeling. The French Government
is said to have sent word to this effect to Bismarck
and Won Moltke, and dwelt upon the impossi-
bility of restraining the population unduly OPP
pressed and tyranicaly treated. Some of the
commanders drink to excess, and en-
couraged the conduct of the men, who are using
on small provocation and .hat if these
troubles continue, the settlement Of the war
indemnity question would be difficult. A Prus-
sian officer, in conversation, said that the French
people should be concliated, and all Southern
feel that an exasperating policy would
