been duly reported and commented upon by the
Italian aud foreign nress, though as usual, much
has been write that bears the impress OF strong
bias while the opportunity for stating facts as they
are has been generally overlooked. His Holiness
is truly wonder; for. Notwithstanding all reports
to the contrary, he is in the enjoyment of
excellent health. The American pilgrims
were in attendance at the Vatican
Yesterday and received the benedictiOn. The Rev.
p r. Dealy, as leader OF the pilgrims, delivered
most thoughtful and Opportune ADDRESS TO HIS
Holiness in French las given below, which was
most enthusiastically received, particularly those
parts which refer TO the wisdom OF the American
laws, the liberal spirit of our government and tho
freedom which the Church enjoys in America. 1t
was somewhat OF q surprise to the Italians, espe-
cially those OF the side OF Victor Emmanuel, who
apparently cannot understand the loyalty and
devotedness of Americans to the Holy Father and
his cause. On Sunday next the anniversary OF
the Pope's coronation will be observed at the vat
can, when 1t Is expected His Holiness will cele-
brate high mass in person. l have given you the
original and q translation of Father Dealy's ad-
dress, which may prove interesting to large class
