’I‘llE SPEECH OF THE POPE TO GENERAL MONTEBEI.LO.

We give the following correct translation of the speech of his Holiness to the officers of the French army on the occasion of their departure from the Eternal City. It will be seen that the speech of His Holiness. as given by the Roman correspondent of “L‘Unita Catolica." dilfers in many essential points from the version which has been “supplied” to the London journals :—

"Rome, Dec. 10, 1866.—I have been able to ob- tain from the best authority the correct version of General Montebcllo‘s speech—as well as the magnificent reply of Pius the Ninth—or. the occasion of the French olliccrs taking their farewell oi the Holy Father.

“ General lllontcbcllo said—Holy Father. coming for the last time to ask your holy benediction. I cannot but feel the liveliest emotion. There are circumstances in which sadness. inseparable from parting. is cliengcd into real min. The Emperor. faithful to his engagements. with raws his troops. but does not withdraw his support. He leaves in Rome the protection of France. May time be able to allay the excitement. to tranquilizc the gricfs. to give to all the spirit of reconciliation. and secure to the Holy See the [Independence and Liberty necessary to it. that it may extend its spiritual influence oven to the ends of the earth. These are the sincere wishes. the expressions of most enduring regard which I now place at the feet of your Holiness. whilst asking your apostolical benediction."

The Holy Father replied thus—0o the eve of your departure. I salute on. my children. Your flag. which eighteen years ago oft France to defcnd the Holy See. was accompanied by the good wishes of all the Powers and Catholic, countries. It now returns to France. I could desire that it might be received with the same ac- clamations. but I doubt that. It has been written to me. that the hearts of Catholics are troubled. 'hlnhiii" of the difficult position in “'llll'll the Head ofthc Church and of their religion is now placed. As 1 already said to your companions in arms. “There must be no illu- sions." The Revolution will come here. It has said it. proclaimed it; you have heard it. have undcrslood it. have seen it. A great personage has said. “Italy is made. but not completed.“ I will say. that if it be not yet completely unmade (di'efalla)—il' it still exist. such as it is—it is because a stri of territory still remains where I am. and where 'usticc. order and peace con- tinue to reign. When th s shall be no more. I see the standard of the revolution floating over the Capitol. but lalso see that tho Tarpeian Rock is not very distant. Fivu or six years ago I was speaking with a roprcsent~ ntive of France. lie asked me. before leaving Itoinc. what would he say to the mpcror. I replied :—“Tell him that St. Augustine. Bi ep of Hippo. seeing the city besieged by an army of barbarians. and foresccing the calamities that would follcw the entry of this army. said to God—"Let me die before I witness these ruins.“ Sa that from me to the Emperor. The French ambas- sa or said—“0h. Holy Father. rest assured the bar- barians won't enter here." He was not a prophet. but he wae an honest man. Another representative of France. now in hi it position. said to me:——“Rome cannot be the capita of a kingdom (reams); it has no

> fitness,er that. but it has every fitness to remain the

ca ital of Catholic‘ity." Theflvsords were a great con- so ation to me. But I repeat it. the circumstance may come. I am weak; I have no resources upon earth; nevertheless. I am tranquil; because I confide in a Power which will give me the strength I need. That Power is God. Go. my children. go with my blessing and with my love. If you see the Em ero'r tell him that I pray every day for him. I am tol tlflt he is in bad health, and I pray that his health may be rc-cstab- lished. I am assured that his mind is troubled, and l

ray God to restore his tranquility. But if I re for liim he ought to do something' for me. because e hears the title of “ Meet Christian. and France is the “eldest daughter of the Church." It is not enough to bear titles; one must justify his claim to them by actions; he must pray with perseverance. with humiliation. with confidence. With such confidence in God. the head of‘a nation which is respected everywhere is made strong. and can obtain whatsoever he wishes. I see that the world is not tranquil. As to m\ self. I place my confi- dence in the mercy of God. and I fear nothing. I ive you my blessing, and may it accompany you ovcryw re in the difficult journey of life.

The convocation of the Italian Chambers was delayed until the French troops were withdrawn from Home. On the 13th a single French soldier was not in Rome. and on that day the King addressed the Signors Sena- tors aiid Signors Deputies in the old Palace in Florence. This paragraph in his speech which will attract most at- tention is that which refers to the execution of the Sep- tember Treaty and its conse uences. The French Go- vernmeut are praised for their fidelity to their engage- ments. On t c part of the Italian Government the King pledges himself that tho Pontifical territory shall be respected. Ilc appeals to the moderation of the Romans. the wisdom of Pope Pine. and the religious sentiment of the whole Italian people to aid the Gov- ernment in conciliating “ Catholic interests and nation- al aspirations which are contending with each other in Rome." Possibly the Pope may have something to say to this appeal at the proper time. There is much am biguity in the portion of the speech referring to the future relations of the Pope and Italian Government.— ’I‘he King ho cs all differences between the Church and the State wilrbe reconciled. but he does not indicate how this is to be accomplished. Vague phrases about attachment to the national religion will not do it. The King hopes the Sovereign Pontifl' may remain independ- ent in his capital. and we are willin to believe. so far as the King personally is ccncerne . that independence would not be violated. But the hope of the King is no guarantee against the designs of that party which as- sisted him in dcspoiling the Pope. and now concen- trates its “aspirations” on Rome. No present nttem t will be made on the independence of His Holiness. It is understood that the Italian Government will disconn- tenance any policy which mi ht have the efi‘ect of com- pelling the Pope to leave Ita y. But this does not solve the difficulty. The Pope cannot concede revolutionary demands. and with less the extreme party in Rome and Italy will not be satisfied. They want “Union with Ital .“ not contentment under the Popedcm. Let the Ital ans leave the Po e to manage his “ remainin scrap of territor ." I so. Church and State may ulti- mately be broug t into harmony. and the new kin doin have a fair start in the race of nations. A quarre with the Pope. and his withdrawal from Rome. would be the forerunner of its dissolution.

A CRINOLINE TRAGEDY.

A sur son. in a letter to the “ Times." gives the fol- lowing eecription of “A Crinoline Tragedy ":—"I had just alighted at my own door. when I heard two or three piercing cries in the street. and on running round the corner. I saw a oung woman standinp on a doorstep so entirely covers with flames that on y her uplifted hands and her feet were visible. With the aid of a rug and a great coat instantly given by a passer-by. we got the poor young creature down on the pavement. and in a few minutes every spark of the fire was crushed out.

We then doubled up a blanket. and with the tender help of one or two strong fellows Itook her on a stretcher lto a cab close at hand. The cabman refused to take the poor girl. and no romonetrstion of mine or of others would induce him to open his door. As no time was to be lost (and no policeman naturally was at hand). I immediately cleared out ni cwn broughain. and. gently laying the miserable half-c iarred girl on the knee of the man who helped me to extinguish the flames. I mounted the coach-box and drove to St. George‘s Hospital. There I immediately gained admission for her. and we eoftl placed her in bed. scorched and blistcred from lies to foot. She was—ncsd I say itP—iii horrible agony. but consciouu. and gave her own sim lo account of the event pcrfectl clearly. Her balf- urnt rage of clothing were cure ully cut away; and covered with cotton wool. dressed and ewatbed after the kindest and skillulest method. she lay an awful wreck of what half an hour previOusly had been a handsome, well-grown. young woman. This was the work of a few terrible minutes at mid-day. and Ihavc this evening just been to see the poor young thing die. The girl‘s dress took fire behind. at an unguarded boil-room fire-place; hence it attained some forco without her knowledge. Mad with fright on its discovery. she ran to the stairs, up which there is in every house a constant ascending cur- rent. which drove the fire higher. Thence she rushed down. still driving the flames upwards. until. reaching the street door. she came into the open street, and then. instantly fanned by the free air, she was in a blaze from head to foot.

Let our fair readers take note of all this. and learn that it few lost seconds of time. a moments wrcng iin- pulse. made a livino sacrifice of this fine young woman. Then. when we had her on the pavement. it was for MP to learn how hard a matter it is to put out all a woman‘s burning clothes. I found no iliflieulty in putting out the blaze. but her poor liuibe lay in a heap of red-bot tin- der. 0iin resolute pressing out was of any avail. and I was obliged to get several to assist me in squeezing out the horrible fire which clung to what was left of her clothes. “'hat was left? A blackened heap of rags, alid the unburnt wires of her criiiolinc—this was literally all. I am not going to reiterate the old warnings about a-rinoliiic, nor to tell women what they ought to do when fire seizes them—they all know oterytliiiig that we can tell them on these subjects; but I tbiiik few women han- nny notion of what we medical men unfortunately know too well—namely. that the affair is all over in a minute or two. that this war victim who now lies dead. char- red almost to a cinder, might have escaped scot-irec had she possessed the courage only to sit down on the flame on t is first instant of its discovery."

STEPHENS AND JOHNSON.

” Thad " Stephens. thc “ old man violent." hates Andrew Johnson with a bitter hatred. and loses no op- portunity of hurling at. him the most envenomed darts. The feeling is fully reciprooatcd by tho ocuupant of the White House, but his power of saying galling things is not equal to that of the Pennsylvania fire-brand. The fight between them is waged with unrelenting malice. and. as one is about as bad as the other. honest people can have no' sympathy for either. At present. the ad- vantage reinains with Stephens. At a banquet given in Washington in honor of the meeting of Congress. he made a speech. from a report of which we quote the fol- lowing :— -»

“ The people were now to decide whether they were to have Andrew Johnson as President or as King. for they were told they had no other choice loft. lie want- ed the encouragement of the soldiers. the enemy had vantage ground. havinghposscssion of the White House, and was dispensing wit a corrupt hand the vast patron- age of the nation. And yet he had no fears. The army consisted of citizens as well as soldiers. It had a few mercenar ofl'iccrs. like the Steedmans. the Dine and the Woo s; but if the Government were to order Grant.or Ilownrd. or Farragut to do its treacherous work. they would rather break their swords than obey. “'ith Sheridan for a leader. and with 25,000 or 50,000 col- ored soldiers to follow him. they might defy Andrew Johnson or all who might follow his lead. But if the time should ever come when the contpirators would mus- tcr audacity t‘q'lfli to their ambition. and. as once hap- pened in England. attempt to turn the regular army against the people. Con ress would not have to rely upon the Southern free men alone. The men of the loyal North would spring to their feet and unshcath their weapons. as they had when they heard the first booming cannon of Sumter. Let Congress be bold and all the soldiers of the late war would take care of the next; and the usurper who leads the hostile forces would have time and leisure to revise his boasted reclamation in one of the einbrasurcs of Fortress h onroc. The usurper‘s head would rest more quietly. to be sure. on s lzpboard and goose than when oppressed with a crown. \ ith less than impartial suffrage. the South, with his consent, should never be reconstructed. He would not be content withs uerile work as universal amnesty with- out universal su rage."
