FROM ROME.
ROME. MAY l3.-The Holy Father is in
th good health and good spirits. He has
ZEN number of audiences during the
Eek, and the Vatican still seems the only
of in the Eternal City where one can
eathe quietly. Yesterday his Holiness
ID two deputations of about 100, consist
. of the Confrateruity of the Addolarata
San Mar.ello and of that of the Minerva.
,e latter presented to his Holiness pic
Ire of st. Catherine of Sienna, on seeing
&,icb, with Plus VII. kneeling before the
lint, his Holiness said he hoped st.
htheripe would soon open the doors OF
Is prison for him.
IThis being the birthday of the Holy Fa-
Ter, when he enters on his eightieth year,
here was a grand function this morning at
Ignazio, and there is to be another TINS
tepipg, with a sermon, etc. L haroiy
link i shall be in time to write an account
it, so shall reserve it for my next.
Among the addresses presented to his
Holiness this week have been some from
|merica, one from the Bishop OF S'nigag-
81 in the name OF his city and diocese send
lg E24. ~
The thoughts of Italy seem now turned
proving what they think of Plus TX. by
ling him on his attaining his twenty fifth
Ear as Pope. 1t would make my letter
10 long to dilate on what all the various
Ibdrfeeations and confraternities are pre-
arinr for this auspicious day. Here in
5ome we foreigners are advocating that
ouey and not gifts should be given to the
oly Father" and are met by the obJec-
on that the money would be 80 little,
resent would be- better" Our principal
kason for insisting on our point 10 tnat
a }ese presents are generally given TOR
IRRIGATION to artists or parties opposed TO
% Holy Father, and that on this account
ae prefer to give him one franc than
resent worth twenty. With other coun-
q lies this objection does not exist, and from
Belgium his Holiness is to receive . mag
ficent tiara. 1t is a sublime idea, because
be Belgium women are all possessors Oh
aluable ornaments, and, oy denuaing
! themselves of q few stones, can make tneir
fering rich beyond what any coDtrion-
ons in hard cash would come to, and u ls
niy right that a country which has done
. much for the Papacy SHOULD shine abo'
theirs on this day.
- To the address which l mentioned In my
Ast as having been presented TO the HOY
ather by 1900 of his late civil and mill
hry officials, thanking him for the gener
us subsidy he in his straitened circum
tances continues to afford them, some few
ignatures were wanting, and among Gnen

office: Mazio, Arati, Guerrero and Spara
