The morning star and Catholic messenger. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1868-1881, 1873-09-14

STAR AND CATHOLIC NESS
to him is rather like the brusque candor of
speech which his unwaveripg confidence
in himself frequently leads him to indulge.
It would seem as though he took a certain
tell against him, for the purpose of bringing
into greater relief his belief in his own in
vincibility. "Decidedly," he is. reported |
to have said on receiving the news, .'deci-
dedly the French people is not what took |
it for. Yet had studied it carefully and
admit that in spite of my knowledge of
men, l have been deceived about it.
Eighty years of revolutions and constant
shocks have not stif1ed in iG the conscious
ness of its greatness. In spite of it's in
deep impression of it's historical traditions.
have no longer any doubt whatever that
within few months the Cemte de Cham
bOrd will be King of France, and that
the whole of France will acclaim him."
aud after some further observations, which
to our mind do not bear the same stamp OF
authenticity, he is said to have concluded.
No M. Thiers"-who had told him that
| the fusion was out Of the question" is no
longer the statesman I took him for; he
is old his vanity has dazzled him, and
| his intellect is obscured.
ITALY, AND SWISS NEUTRALITY.
| In Italy the same event has of course
excited profound disgust and the Passe,
| which used to be RattaZzi's organ, repre-
sents Switzerland as actively engaged
| in negotiations with that country
and with Germany with view to con-
certcd action in case of q restoration IN
France. The statement with which the
article concludes is too startling to be
true. "Switzerland has declared to the
Italian G overnment that it intends to fol-
low the same line as Italy, and therefore
to renounce the neutrality which hitherto
has been its safeguard, bat can now no
longer protect it," The meaning OF when
we take to be, that the Italian Revolution
lists would be only too glad to SEQ an ALI
ance, defensive and offensive, between
themselves and tho Germans, and as til
: neutrality of the Helvetic Confederation
: stands somewhat in the way, they would
like to persuade the Swiss to give 1t up,
, and to exchange it for share IN an ltalo-
German Convention.
D. A voTIvE CHURCH IN ROME.
1 The Italian provincial authorities are
] determined to put down pilgrimages, anc
s about eighty pilgrims were stopped some
time ago and turned back from the gates
9 Rome, though in one case the over z,alou'
: agents having laid hands on some Russiat
: officers, apologies and compensation had II
: be made. Another bad shot was the arres
: of an Albanian priest who was in Rome oil
:, business, and whose Bishop, being cour
= ageous man, did battle for him, and by in
It sistipg in the face of repeated evasion, an
y by threats of an appeal to the Tarklsh LIE
'e cation, succeeded in delivering him out G
y the hands of the Questore. But for res
10 pilgrims there is no mercy, and the Catho
lies of Rome have devised substitute fo
n. pilgrimage. They intend, 30 says tn
Yoce della Verita, to make a VOW in tn
O. name of the city to build a chapel to til
=. Sacred Heart should the Church pc ueh'
a ao cred from her enemies.
