It izes the See as the source of jastical centre of purity, and the rock te which our Saviour has built bis church, and against which the gptes of hell cannot prevail. It alludes to the civil principality, ‘ the: of St Peter,”” tracing its origin to the munificence of the faith- ful, the devotion of Christian and the eratitude of a whom the of Rome Pretectods ‘and made free. wing the istory of the states of the chureh from their re- mote origin down to the it time, and not: bow they have under the favor of Di- vine Providence in the midst of jon, it gzors on to prociaim the their head appearing with some degree o!

It discusses the expenses attending the details of ecclesiastical administra- tion. which it may be impracticable to meet if the Bishop of Rome the territory in whic! been the free act of the inhabitants, but of corrupt and designing men.

The Bishop gees on ik of the state of things in the re- volted ince; that it is burdened with en mous taxation; the citizens forced into mili! wervice; and the clergy, who are dissatisfied wi the new order of things, visited with severe Ps - alties, imprisoned, or driven into banishment ‘The enemies of the Pope, alleges th Bishop, have for their object tostrip him of all his domin- fons, and make bim a mere dependent on civil government, or a victim onda martyr The pe rm duty of the faithful, in view of the loss de ing on the revenues of the Pontiff by the withdrawal of the revolted Province, is, to supply a Uomo towards the support of the Chief Eishop who governs the Universal Church with a view to the spiritual interests of aH After alleging sundry special considerations why this duty is more strictly obligatory, the letter closes with the following exordium: of His justice, He remember mercy, and cause the light of His countenance to shine upon ns. By humiliation and penance we may disarm Him, and obtain the retura of Peace with new trlumpbs of religion. Let us implore Him, through the merits of the great A Peter and Paul, by whom the Church Rome was founded. and still more through the intercession of the Most Holy Virgin Mary, conceived with- out sin.” City Oxpinances.—The followin; city ordi- nances have been approved by the Mayor : An Act authorizing the Mayor to anticipate the enues of this Corporation to redeem certain guarantied bonds.
