Feb. 16, 1870. ly CHEAP PRINTING HERALD OFFICE, Prince Street, (near the Atheneum) ROME. alta, A correspondent of the New York World writes from Rome :— The Pope suffers greatly—suffers more keenly in body and mind than is gene- rally suspected even in Rome; and apropos of this, I was told the other day a story to this effect: in 1848, when he was exiled from Rome by the short-lived revolution of that period, and was dwell- ling for a time in Gaeta, he went into a church and offered himself as a victim, for the sins of his subjects in Rome, if God should be willing to accept the sacrifice of his life. Ever since then he has waited for this offering to be accept- ed, and the sufferings he now endures, he is said to look upon as the prelude to his final agony. The end is perhaps near, Every day the tone of the autho- rities and of the newspapers which echo or inspire their utterances becomes more and more threatening. The Afgliora- mento, one of the leading papers of the revolution, the other day read to the Pope a bitter lecture on the importance of his understanding that he must obey the laws of Italy or else prepare to take the conseqnences. He is not only a prisoner, but a subject, says this paper, and he must not attempt to act other- wise than as a subject. This is the ‘tindependenco,’’ the complete ‘‘spirit- ual and territorial sovereignty,’’? which it was promised should be secured to him, By the same private hand which takes this letter—for I dare not yet trust anything to the post—I send you a bundle of the numerous so-called jour- nals which have sprung up here since the occupation, You will say that their appearance is abominable; well. read them, and you will admit that their guise is the best part of them. What is going on here under the new regime? Tho answer can be given in three words—outrage, pillage and mur- der, There is no use in attempting to give you a list of these deeds. I can only recount a few of the least atrocious ; some of them are too horrible even to be hinted at, The Vicomte de Saizy had left some luggage here to be forwarded ; the officers of the Italian Government, in full uniform, went to the place where the luggage was stored, broke open the tranks. and stole therefrom 5,000 francs in gold, which they divided among themselves. A sort of ‘‘smelling com- mittee” is going the rounds of all the convents and religious houses, examin- ing them from top to bottom, subjecting the nuns to insulting questions and to personal outrages, and carrying away whatever takes their fancy. They are engaged in making out a report recom- mending the confiscation of these houses —some of them are needed for the pub- lic offices of the new government ; some take np too much room and are in the way of ‘‘modern improvements”’ design- ed; the occupants are to be turned out to starve, or to find their way to some country where women who devote their lives to nursing the sick, teaching the ignorant, and saving the lives of child- ren, are honored and oe ei The city is at the mercy of the mob who entered it with the army of Italy, and of the convicts who were liberated Ly the army. Theso raffians are blood- thirsty—not a nig'it passes without a murder being committed, They range throughout the city unchecked, and ii they come across one. whom they wish to kill, they raise the cry of ‘‘Zouave”’ or ‘Jesuit,’ and the murder is soon done. The gendarmerie sometimes ma- nage to rescue these victims and some- times they do not, On the night of the 8th, three priests were killed, and ‘an Oriental bishop was surrounded by the mob on the Piazza of San Bartolemco del Isola and beaten fearfully before he was rescued,—Tho clergy all take their lives in their hands, whenever their duty calls them into the street ; one of them, going in haste the night before last to visit a dying member of his flock, was surroun bd by the mob, and was about to be struck to the ground, He drew himself up to his fall height—he is a great tall fellow with a noble form—and exclaimed, “Ont of my path! I am on my way to shrivo a dying man; you can kill me wien I returo!’’ They slank away, and although he did return by the samo street, he saw nothing more of those who were thirsting for his blood, All the religious schools are threatened with extinction—Rome, as you know, has more public schools than Edinburgh, in proportion to its population, aud they are all religious—and secular schools are to be established in their stead. The Pope’s household have been turned out of the Quirinal and it is being prepared for the occupation of Victor Emmanuel and his ministers. The religious houses on the Quirinal are to be destroyed. They are to be torn down in order to make room for offices for the new gov- ernment. Rome, you seo, is to be med- ernized, and made a sort of Paris. The Pope has issued an Encyclical pro- testing against the plunder of the pro- perty of the Church by the Italians, and a Bull by which he excommunicated all who assisted in the robbery. The Italian Government seized the papers which published these documents, thereby showing once more what they mean by a Free Uhurch in a Free State, and how much liberty of action in spiritual mat- ters they intend to allow the my London telegrams inform ue that Mr. Gladatoue’s goverament feele itself bound to protect the Pope. The British Ministry have, in this, only followed the footsteps of other English Ministries, in times when bigotry was much acrid than now, We subjoin a few oxamples | taken from the London Tablet :— Although Pitt appeared to the ardent mind of Burke to put himself into the hands of the bigots, and to abandon the Pope to his enemies; yet, the Minister of England never did so willingly. At one period, the 12th Light Dragoons were sent to Civita Vecchia, where they remained for some time; and during an audience with which the Colonel was honored by Pius VI, the Pontiff, taking the helmet of the English commander into his hands, gave his benediction to him and to his regiment. This incident was commemorated in a picture by Northcote, which is, or was lately, in the South Kensington Maseum, where it, no doubt, excited the wonder and troubled the mind of many a good Pro- testant, Turning now for a few moments from the statesman, let us sec what was the feeling of the greatest English seaman towards the Pope. Nelson, who in 1799 commanded onr naval forces off the west coast of Italy, wrote on the 2nd of March to the British Minister at Florence :— Your Excellency’s account of the treatment of the Grand Duke, of the King of Sardinia, and of the poor old Pope, makes my heart bleed; and ] curse, in the bitterness of my grief, all those who might have prevented such cruelties,”” A few months later, Nelson thus*ad- | dressed the English General command-, ing in Minorca: ‘‘ The field of glory is, a large one, and was never more open to anyone than at this moment to you, Rome would tlirow cpen her gates and receive you as a deliverer, and the Pope would owe his restoration to the Papal | Chair to a heretic. This is the first) great object. . . . . I can take upon me to say that our King’’—(yes, King George II1)—*‘ would be much gratified that Britain, not Austria, should rein- state the Pope,’’ But before the General could reply, Nelson acted ; and on the Ist of October | wrote to the Admiralty: ‘IT have de-! sired Commodore Troubridge to send you... extracts of all bie letters to} me, with the terms entered into with the | every case have been strongly the other Lorraine—by the strong arm.’ French for the evacuation of the City of | Rome and Civita Vecchia, on which) event I sincerely congratulate their Lordships.” | On the same day he wrote to Trou-, bridge: ‘1 send you an order respect- ing the re-establishing of the Sovereign Pontiff as far as my power extends.,’ following remarks upon Gen. Butler's, » Again: “I have got the King’s order for hoisting the Pope's colors, bunt since hearing of the Pope’s death, I have sent for a confirmation.”? Then, the next day, he wrote: ‘As there is no Pope, it should only be the Oross-keys, with- out the Tiara, General Acton says it is of no consequence whether the Tiara is in the colors or not.’? The reader will observe how carefully and thorough- ly the great Admiral does his work. When the new Pope, Pius VII, had arrived at Rome, Nelson addressed him thus :— “Hoty Fatmer,—As an individual who, from his public situation, has had | an opportunity of using his utmost en- deavors to assist in bringing about the happy event of your Loliness’s return to Rome, I presume to offer my most sincere congratulations on this occasion ; and with my most fervent wishes and prayers that your residence may be blessed with health, and every comfort this world can afford, “ Your Tloliness will, I am sure, for- give me mentioning a circumstance which, although at the time it was spoken appeared impossible, yet the fact did happen. Father McCormick, a Friar, coming to the House of Sir William Hamilton, in September, 1798, to congratulate me on the battle of the Nile, said, (as can be testified,) ‘ What) you have done ia great, but you will do a greater thing—you will take Rome with your ships.’ And although I did not believe that the Father had the gift of prophecy, yet his guess was #0 extraor- dinary, and fas turned out so exactly, that | could not in my conscience avoid telling your Holiness of it. 1 will now only trespass on your time by assuring your Holiness with what respect 1 am; your most obedient servant, “ Bronte Netson, of the Nile,”’ There is no need to quote any words! of Castlereagh, Liverpool, or Welling. ton. Their actions speak for their sound and righteous judgment in this matter. It was to the two former, if not also to the third, that the Holy See owed the) restitution of the Legations, which were, | with the reat of his temporal dominions, guaranteed to him by Great Britain in common with the other parties to the Treaty of Vienna. ‘Great Britain,” said the Marquis ef Lansdowne,in 1848, jan argument for war, in the present whom the Cardinal appealed, decides | it the statesmanship of the two countries the question. ‘My Prince Regent,’’ wrote Consalvi, “effects wonders; the | is not equal to a settlement which shall secure pecuniary indemnity to the parties restitution is decided in principle, andj injured, and a new declaration of tho ey tay by the Emperor Alésander 3) duCien of neutral and friendly states in . wo shall re-enter into possession of vur beloved provinces, and we shall owe | time ofwar.

But General Butler'a remedics are those who opposed the Bill for legaliz- S°mewhat faulty in themselves. Sup- ing diplomatic relations with Rome, he eo that, instead of calling the ‘ope by any ecclesiastical title, the Ifoly Father should be styled ‘‘ Sove- reign of the Roman States.’’ In the Duke’s opinion, therefore, the Pope, whether he was or was not the Supreme Pontiff, was certainly entitled to be re- garded by all as a Sovereign Prince. On the 5th of January, 1849, Lord Palmerston commenced a despatch to the Marquis of Normandy, then our Am- bassador at Paris, with these words :— “In regard to the present position of the Pope, I have to observe that no doubt it is obviously desirable that a person who in his Spiritual capacity has great and extensive influence over the internal affairs of most of the countries in Europe should be in such a position of independence as not to be liable to be used by one European Power as an in- strument for the annoyance of any other Power ; and in this view it is much to be wished that the Pope should be Sove- reign of a territory of his own.’’ Again, on the 9th of March following, writing to the same nobleman, Lord Palmerston said :— ‘¢ Great Britain is indeed a Protestant State, but Her Majesty has many mil- lions of Catholic subjects ; and the Brit- ish Government must therefore be de- sirous, with a view to British interests, that the Pope should be placed in such a temporal position as to with entire independence in the exercise of his spiritual functions,” We, therefore,—who hold the posses- sion of the Temporal Power to be, in the present state of the world, necessary to the independence of the Spiritual au- thority’ of the Iloly See,—have on our side the judgment of all the greatest {statesmen of Protestant England; of men whose natural bias must in nearly way. UNITED STATES. et tlle A a A Pat at We take from the Boston Speciator the warlike speech :— “General Butler's lecture at Music Hall, last week, is well calculated to ex- cite attention both here and abroad. be able to act) pose we declare non-utareourse to-mor- row. We injure Englaud—bat there are two of us; we deprive fier of our cotton and breadstufls-—we deprive our- selves of a market; what we gain in one way we lose in another. The blade of our weapon has a double edge; we clutch it by the blade ard luse the pow- er that should wield it. Suppose we say to Great Britain that, if she will leave this continent altogether we will call it square, Perhaps ebe would ac- quiesce; but General Batler does not believe it. What have we to gain? We desire the annexation of Canada and the provinces. It is for their interest and for ours to be under One government. Great Britain interposes no objection. Under the influence of reasonable mea- sures which are consistent with the hon- or of both nations, annexation is as cer- tain as the rising of the tide, But pre- sent'the alternative to Great Britain in this ’Ercles vein, and the otherwise in- evitable result wouldonly be reached as the issue of aneedless and inglorious war. Massachusetts has a special and pro- found iuterest in the fishery question. The privileges which her citizens have enjoyed for more than a century have been denied Their ships have been ° seized ; their business broken up; their possessions taken from them; their per- sons outraged. The grievance is direct ‘and palpable, and the government és bound by its own self-respect, as well as | by its duty to its citizens, to seck and obtain redress. It is possible to obtain | it through honorable negotiation, and in 'a spirit which wonld bring the people of ‘the Dominion and of the Republic in ' closer relations, instead of making them |hostile forever.

The audience listened to these extraordinary motives for fighting with lincreasing astonishment, of which the expressive silence of the great majority was the only manifestation. “It is the duty of the administration to adjust these foreign questions, The duty was never go imperative as at a time when the great nations of the world reaticas clements of our own are on the alert for provocations which may draw us also into the same peril.
