THE POPE AND IRELAND.
A Secret Papal Rescript Sent TO tn
Bishops I'm Ireland.

A Dublin telegram says: The report that
a second Papal rescript had been sent to
the Irish bishops is confirmed. 1t was in
tended that the receipt of the document
should not be made known. but
that the bishops should proceed TO
enforce the commands contained in
the first rescript without alluding TO
the existence of the second one. But this
plan was spoiled through the indiscretlon
OF servant Of tho Bishop of Limerick
who divulged part of the contents of the re-
script. 1t is probable that the publication
of part OF the document will force the Pope
TO reafflrm publicly his wishes regarding
Ireland.
