ROME, June 15-The Canadian pilgrims had
an audience with the Pope to-day, and asked
his benediction for their countrymen, and the
people of Liverpool and New York, who had
given them friendly reception. The pill
grims presented the Pope magnificent mitre.
studded with gems, silver vase, and twenty
Thousand dollars. The Pope expressed Joy at
the escape of the pilgrims from the great perils
of their voyage, and at the many signs OF de-
votion from a country where the faith after
so strong and vigorous. He concluded by Civ.
ing his blessing to the pilgrims.
GERMANY.-The ministerial North German
Gazette, contains another article about the re-
lations between the Papacy and the French
Monarchial party. 1t says the latter, being una
BILE to dispense with clerical assistance for the
attainment of domestic purposes, snch assis-
rance will not be given unless important
! counter services are rendered. Tue Pope who
recently denounced Germany as the corner
stone Of q new ungodly division of power in
: Europe, may soon have million and half OF
French soldiers at his disposal
FRANcE.-On the 18th, the following order
of the day was adopted in the House of Depu-
ties by . vote of 1868 against 1888: Where's,
dency of she Duo de Brogle, was called to the
direction of public affairs contrary to law, and
the majority, which is the leading principle of
5 parliamentary government has, since umipg
3 ofioe avoided giving explanation to the ma
tional representatives.; and
Whereas, it upholds the Administration to
crush universal suffrage by all the means at
its disposal; and
Whereas, 1t represents merely coalition of
Monarohists, guided by inspirations from the
whereas. it has allowed attacks on national
Representatives and incitements to violation of
I law to pass unpublished; and
Whereas, on all these grounds it imperils
peace and order, and disturbs busipess and
general interests therefore, the House de-
claros that the Ministry does not possess the
confidence of the nation. When the reading
of the order Yves concluded there was much
. cheering. The Ministers quilted their seats
and the cheering was renewed. The Ministers
returned, and Mr; Paris, Minister OF Public
Works, said the Government was indifferent
as to any order of the day the Chamber might
adopt the country would soon pronounce its
decision.
MCMAHON has sent a message to the Senate
. demanding that it agree to the dissolution of
the Chamber. "If this be granted" the Dnc
de Broelie said, new Gle ctioDs will be ordered
ut once" The debate on the question in the
Senate has been going on for several days. In
both houses the debates have been of the most
violent character, as an example of which it
may be stated that Gambetta was interrupted
los times during his speech by Cassagnac and
at one time the members of the House rushed
towards the tribune and for some ten minutes
every one was in momentary expectation that
pistols would be fired.
THE WAR.-During the past week the-e has
been q great deal of fighting though not on
the large scale that had been expected.
In Asia the Turks, to the number OF 5000,
made an advance movement but we're met by
the Russians and almost annihilated, losing
the greater part of their forces. This defeat
renders the condition eft Ksrs, the key to the
Turkish position in that section of the country,
even more precarious thanit was before. Along
the Danube there has been no aggressive
movement though all indications seem to con-
firm the fact that the Russians have an i'm
mense force concentrated with the view of
making the campaign short end decisive.
In Montenegro there have been two import
ant battle, in one of which the Turks were
victorious while in the other they met with q
severe defeat The dispatches all indicate,
however, certainty Of Montenegro's entire
subiagation unless she is assisted by Russia or
Servia. Russia cannot help her except by
marching her troops through Servia, which, as
violation of the neutrality of that country, |
would be resisted by Austrie, an event that
Would also surely follow if Servia would at |
tempt to assist the Montenegrins. Reports are |
received of the following tragic incidents of
several Russian soldiers were guilty of afro
eltiee upon the Inhabitants, and honses
were, in few instances, entered, men killed
eots women outraged. No sooner had these
- OF lawlossness reached the ear of the Rus |
siHn commander than he ordered the most |
s.'sas Investigation to DO made. The oonse- |
nee was that tine whole battalion to which |
men belonged was ordered out and shot.
44S SHcassians in the Turkish army grew |
1e.tlse from inaction and finally receiving per-
a - snod 70 move against the Russians body
o. 1oVV TOOK up its line of march. 1t was sur |
priced by the Russians and in hand to hand |
hghs 1lOO C1reassians were killed and the rest
were captured.
