ROME.

We copy from the London 7'ablet, the
following ‘article upon the movement at!
present going onin Germany, regarding
the Sovereignty of the Pope:—

“The movement in Germany in favor
of the independence of the Holy See, is
becoming daily more and more impor-
tant. From <Austiia, alone, we, our-|
selves have seen 10 different Addresses |
or Protests, many of them very numer-
ougly and influentially signed, Nor are
they feeble nor timidly worded, The}
Catholics of Germany know their num- |
bers and they feel their strength, and!
they are determined to exercise that
legitimate pressure upon their govern-
ments, which we recognize in Eugland
as a constitutional right.

It is worth whille to give one or two
instances of what the German Catholics
are doing.

The Confraternity of 8. Michael the
Archangel, at Linz, directed the follow-
ing Address to Count Potocki, President
of the Cabinet:—

Your Exceiiency,—

No honest. man can justify the violent
ocenpation of the Roman States by the
Italian Government, and every Catholic
is bound to condemn the audacious at-
tack upon the rights of the Holy See.

But, with what sorrow must the heart
of every Catholic Austrian be saturated,
in seeing the Minister of Foreign Affairs
offer no kind of protection to the Holy
Mather, under such circumstances, He
has not even contradicted the common

It would lead us into too great alength
to quote from the Addvesses published
by the Catholics of Prague, by the 2000
Catholics who met the other day in Ber-
lin, by the Catholic Association of Ratis-

Dutch Catholics at Rotterdam, by the
Prelates and Catholics of Bohemias by
the Catholics of Spain, who are uniting
all their socicties, religions co-operations,
and Catholics of every class and grade,
in one joint action, in behalf of the in-
dependence of the Holy See.

Perhaps the most remarkable Address
that has been drawn up is the following.
It isa salutation from the Catholics of
Prassia, some 13,000,000 in number, to
the King as Emperor of Germany. What-
ever may be the personal religious feel-
ings of King William and Von Bismark,
their policy will certainly lead them to
protect the Supreme Ifead of the Catho-
lic Religion. We have a clear indica-
tiou of this in this German Address :—

Just Kixe,—

God has constantly given the victory
to the sword of your Majesty. Ile has
evidently chosen you, among all the
Princes of the world, to exercise justice
in His name and to subject violence to
lright. Wherefore, in the name of 200,-
1000,000 of our co-religionists, we 13,-
| 000,000 of Catholic Germans, beseech
|you to protect the independence of our
}conscience, O, Emperor of Germany,
|protect the territory granted by your

| predecessors to the Popes, and then
|

200,000,000 of men who will Teok upon
| you as their lord and deliverer,

bonne, to the King of Bavaria, by the!

The Special Correspondent of the
Freeman’s Journal copies from a Roman
journal the following facts relative to the |
‘corder’’ established in Rome, by the
King: of Piedmont’s invasion :—

“On the 20th instant, the guardians of
public security arrested in the Trastevere

lenness! During the afternoon of the

'181 francs stolen therefrom, and Pietro
Carpentieri, manufacturer of carriages,
having his place violently broken into,
was robbed of gold and silver amounting
to 140 lire. A squabble, with serious
wounds, took place in the Borges Pio,

A drive is being made to allow of

the Catholics of Upper Austria.

The President, on receiving the depu-
tation that presented the Protest of the
Catholics of the Austrian Empire, spoke
with great severity of the condact of the
Italian Government, and gave the depu-
tation to understand that their Protest
was favourably received, and thav it
would produce its effect, The Morgen
Post has endeavored to soften down the
effect of the President’s speech, by urging
that, though the occasion was formal,
he spoke rather his own private senti-
ments than those of the Cabinet of which |
heis the chief. But itis probable that |
a change has actually beeu wreught in)
the Austrian Cabinct.

The Catholic Political Club, of Vienna,
has likewise passed unanimously a series
of resolutions, from which we make the
following extract:—

Considering that this proceeding (the
invasion of the Papal Territory, ) has not
been met by our Government with a pro-
test or a word of disapprobation, and
considering that the Austrian Minister
of Foreign Affairs seems even to have
approved of it, the Catholic Political
Club, together with all the Catholic in-
habitants of the Empire of Austria, feel
bound to protest against the conduct of
the Government at Florence, and at the
saine time to deplore most profoundly
the policy of his Excellency Count Beust,
who, though not a Catholic, ought, as
representing the interests of 26,000,000
Catholics, to have felt itan obligation to
have expressed at least a word of dis-
approbation at the vivlation of their
rights in the person of the Holy See.

The Protest then goes on to express
its fears for the dyaasty and the coun-
try, if such a policy as Count Beast has
appeared to favor, be accepted by Aus-
tria,

A number of similar Protests have

been got up and iffluentially signed in|

Ilungary. We quote a sentence or two
from one of the most important :—

Contempt and contumely preceded
spoliation, and the disgusting by exeera-
ble hypocrisy of a government calling it-
self Catholic, devout and obedient; alter
planting a thousand wounds upon the
Church, inpudently approachingthe sub-
lime throne of truth, soliciting under)
frivolous pretext the permission to be-
come the protector of right and justice,
in order to commit an cnormous robbery.

THE WAR.

PAKIS.

A letter from Tours thas alludes to

the war feeling in F'rance;—

A deputation, followed by a crowd of
about two thonsand persons, proceeded
to the hotel of the Prefecture, this after-
noon, to present & resolution demanding

a levee en masse, and the creation of de-
partmental commissioners to push for-
ward the defence, and to remove the in-
ertia and incompetency of the Municipal
Council of the empire. M. Gambetta
harrangued the crowd from the balcon
in a most impassioned speech, and call-
ed upon the citizens to arm themselves,
and to conquer or die, Ife said this Re-
public will live if we will it. The Gov-
ernment cannot do everything. The
people must act for themselves to make
the war really national throughout the
country, Replying to the ery for arms,
M. Gambetta said, the Government had
made the utmost efforts to procure them,
but they had to fight against the com-
petition of the enemy, M. Gambetta
spoke with great energy and feeling, and
was much cheered.

Pro.oncation on tar War.— A cor-
respondent of the Z'imes with the head-
quarters of the 8rd German army, before
Paris, writes as follows on the 22nd :—
An officer possessed of one of the clearest
intellects here thinks that, after the army
of Metz has surrendered and Paris has
yielded, the war may still go on for the
simple reason that there is ne Govern-
ment entitled to treat for peace, ne
central authority or any authority to
ensure the obedience and adherence of
the population, in the event ofa popular
or patriotic furore, in places-which have
not felt the pleasure of.war,to continue a
struggle which, in a military sense, be-
comes more desperate every day. The
French hatred for the Germansis becom-
ing a mania; but théy. may be assured

them than fighting them; .a method of

ditions, is utterly desperate, ~ We ma
be obliged to’ ia. and occupy all their
towns one after. another, and settle down
in the country for ene or two years.
Those are aliwost tho. very ™
long-headed soldier, and there are few,
even among the sanguine, who speak of
spending Christmas at home,

The correspondent of the Daily News,
writing from Metz, says :—

When ‘the surrender became known
the people were furious. The National
Guard refused te lay down their arms,
and on the 29th, in the afternoon, a
Dragoon captain appeared at the head
ofa body of troops, who swore they
would sooner die than yield; while
Albert Collignon, editor of an ultra-Pem-
ocratic daily paper, the Journal de Metz,
rode about on a white borse firing a
pistol, and exhorting them to sally out
and seek death or victory, to escape
the impending shame. Ile was followed
by alady singing the ‘ Marseillaise,”’
which produced terrible excitement.
The doors of the Cathedral were burst
open, and the tocsin atid funeral’ bell
rung nearly all night. When General
Cofinier appeared, to pacify them three
pistol shots were fired at him. Finally,
by the aid of two line regiments, he
quietly dispersed the mob. Bat all
night the sounds of grief, indignation,
aud terror were keptup. Respectable
women ran about the streets tearing
their hair, and flinging their bonnets
and laces under their feet, wildly erying
aloud, “ What will become of our chil-
dren 2?” Soldiers, drank and sober,
tumbled hither and thither in irregular
groups, with their caps off and their
sabres broken, sobbing, and weeping
like children. ‘‘ Oh, poor Metz! once
the proudest of cities ! What a misfor-
tune! What an unheard of catastrophe!
We have been sold. Allis lust It is
all up with France,’”’ and so on, The
civil functionaries asked each other
across the streets, ‘‘ Who will be our
master? Who will governus?) Where
shall we go so that we may not see the
ruin that has come upon the nation ?””

Bazaine passed through Ars, on his
way to Wilhelmshohe, in a close carriage
marked with his name, and eseorted by
several officers of his staff on horseback.
The women of the village had heard of
his arrival, and awaited him with ex-
clamations of ‘ Traitor !’’ ‘ coward !””
‘sneak !’? “thief!” &e. Whore are
our husbands whom you have betrayed?
Give us back our children whom you
heve sold!’ They even attacked the
carriage, and broke the windows with
their fists, and would have lynched him
but for the intervention of Prassian
gendarmes. ‘Three days ago when ]
