who have received at the baptismal font
the noble character of Christians, that is,
of the people Of Jesus Christ, who bear
marked on their souls the character given
in confirmation, which stamps them as
combatants for the Church, now, become
periured rebels, use these very arms against
Che Church. II 10 certainly sad to see SO
mapy souls who have received benefits
from God and the Church, and from another
also, respond to the goodness they have
experienced from the Church and from God.
This contrast is to be seen in everything.
In the Catholic press are recorded Triduos,
Novenas and edify ing discourses; In the nom
Catholic press what is read refers to theatres,
dances, and the like. The contrast which
we see now existed in the time of the newly
born Church, and even when its divine
founder was erecting it for the good of
mankind. 1t is a perpetual contrast, but
it helps to make your faith. your attach
ment to piety and religion more evident.
Remain in these sentiments, and do not
fear the assaults of the enemy, for God
protects you with His right hand. God

phrase now is. Those who direct existing
Governments have placed themselves be-
tween two different forces, which they pro-
pose to combat. On one side they wish to
resist the Church, because they fear Its pre-
ponderance. On the other, they desire to
resist the ultra revolutionists. They fear
the Church, but they fear these also. They
fight the Church with indifference and con-
tempt. they intend to fight the ultra-revo.

TR1DUo.
This day is the first of the great Triduo
celebrated by the " Society for Promoting
Good Works, )" with the concurrence of the
Chapter of st. Peters, in reparation for the
outrages against the Apostle connected
with the late public discussion: The con-
course in the Basilica has been immense.
UNIVERSITIES OF ROME Adm FADUA.
The Chamber passed yesterday law as
stiles of Rome and Padua to the others in
Italy. One Of its clauses abolishes the
"coilegss" of the Roman University, and
reduces it to the approved modern pattern.

PRINCE FREDERICK CHARLES AND PRINCE
NAPOLEON.
Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia has
gone to Naples. The Minister of Bavaria
gave O great dinner in his honor, at which
the Prince is reported to have expressed
himself somewhat in the following terms
"There are for France only two possibili-
ties; the return of Henry ", favored by
the mobiles and the clergy, and the return
of Napoleon, who has for him the bour-
qeoisie, part of the new nobility and a
portion of the army the return of the Or
leans family ia, in my opinion, impossible,
and have not met any republicans in
France" l do not wish myself to guaran-
tee the truth of this report, but it rests on
good authority. Prince Napoleon has been
receiving a great many visits, to which the
quidnuncs of Rome attach a great deal of
Importance. On Tuesday and Wednesday
he was visited by several political charac-
tiers, among whom were some of those who
signed or negotiated the notorious conven-
ton of September. On Thursday he went
to see the Princess Margaret, ard received
M. Grispigni, the municipal councillor who |
acts as provisional SindacO. He is said to |
have had long interview with Prince
Frederick Charles, and the conversation
between the two princes is rumored to have
been very important, but the semi-official
organs are naturally very silent on the
point. need scarcely say that the Prince
has not applied for an audience at the Yati-
can, but he went to visit the Vatican Mu-
scum on Monday step not exactly in the
best taste, but good taste is q quality
which one does notlook for in Prince Napo-
leon.
THE BISHOPS AND THE ExEoUATUR.
A great deal of capital has been made by
the Liberal Journals out of the application
for the exequatur said to have been made
by the Bishop of Saluzzo and the Episcopal !
Abbot of Monte Casino. 1t appears, how
aver, that they did nothing of the kind, the .
Chapter Of Saiuzzo forwarded to the Gov
eminent Q copy of the document in which
hey recognized the appointment of the {
Bishop, step which seems to have been q
sufficient by the Government, b
