Cardinal Cullen Invested with Extraordinary Powers, ALMOST A POPE. The Dissensious Existing Between Gambetta and Keratry, THE RUSSIAN CONSCRIPTION LAW, Earl Granville’s Letter on the Investment of Paris. EUGENIE AND VICTORIA. ——— ‘The Cunard steamship Palmyra, from Liverpool and Queenstown, which arrived in Boston yesterday, brings European mails up to December 6, ‘The fol- lowing budget of news from our special correspond- ents ubroad, as well as the extracts from the Eng- lish and Continental papers, give an intelligent and comprehensive résumé of the uropean situa. tion:— The Gazette of France again strongly demands the election of 2 constituent assembly, The exceptional position accorded to Bavaria under the new federal treaties has mude a bad im pression in Wurtemburg. The seml-oficial Nord Deutsche Zeitung Naty con. tradicts the rumor that Count Bismarck intends to conclude peace with Napoleon. It is ramored that the Viceroy of Egypt can at tne Present time place under arms 100,000 men, many of whom are armed with the best breach-loading rifies. A London paper says:—“We understand that our government have ordered a considerable number of torpedoes and have made large contracts for the supply of feld artillery and fleld battery harnes: ‘The King of Prussia has invited the Kings of Ba- . Varla, Wurtemburg and Saxony to Versailics to be present at the entry into Paris, The army and Navy Gazette of London an- nounces that the Commancer-in-Ohiet at Ports- mouth has received a notification taat a Japanese naval officer is to be borne on the books of the Duke of Wellington, with the rank of sub-lieutenant, ‘This is a step in advance.

The London Ténes of the 5th says:— “We are au- thorized to state that there is no foundation what- ever for the repert which appeared last week in an evening contemporary to the effect that negetiations were being carried on for the turning of the French Suez Canal into an English joint stock enterpris ‘with the Duke of Sutherland as chairman.” The London Glove states that a rumor whieh obtained currency that, should ber Majesty’s headin permit, the Queen will open Parliament in state neXt session, is In some degree confirmed by the fact that the state equipages have be ordered to be got ready. The Moscow nobility have presented an address to the Emperor, thankmg him for the cireatar and for the abolition of class distinctlons by the new decree on milltary service. The Moscow nobility are ready, they say, to serve in the ranks for the defence of their homes and tne integrity of Russia.

When the news of the Italian occupation of Rome first reached this country I remember saying to you that it did not attract much attention among us; aud what IJ said was true. A few bishops, in pasto- ral letters to their flocks, and a few newspapers, devoted to the interests of the Catholic religion, E POPE. alene raised their voices m_ bebalf ot | the sovereign Pontiff. This apparent indiffer- ence of Catholic Ireland may be accounted for by the fact that public attention here was almost entirely occupied with the great Franco-Prussian war. But the Irish people have now cust aside their apathy or indifference, if, indeed, they ever had either, towards the Pope, and are dolng everything du their power to promote his interests and to re- Neve his suiferiugs. A collection, I wndersiand, was made for him in all the Roman Catholic chapels thronghout Ireland on Sunday iast, and the sum raisea, I suppose, will go to replace tle £40,000 seized by the Itailans and utilized by the Florentine government. Meetings to express sympathy with him have been held in Wexford, Cork, Waterford, Galway, Belfast, Slico, Tipperary and on last Wea- nesday in Dublin. ‘Ihese meetings were most numerousiy attended and were addressed, not only by the leading clergy, but by the Catholic nobility of the respective dioceses. but the meeting in Dublin far surpassed them all, The talent, wealth and nobility of the county had their representatives. All grades of | the clergy were represented, from Cardinal Cullen to the humblest curate. All classes of the Irish people were represented, from the Earl of Gra- nard down to the workman who earns his bread by Me sweat of his brow. Cardinal Cullen, who presided, declared that it was ove of the largest and most brilliant assembiles ever held in the Irish metropolis. To the speeches delivered on the oceasion | need Not refer; suffice it te say that every argument that could be urged in favor of the Pope's temporal power was brought forward by the severa! speakers, The Cardinal opened the proceedings in 2 long aud carefally prepared address, which was, in my opin- ion, One of the best he ever delivered. His Emi- nence, however, was never destined to shine a4 a public speaker. He hasan exceedingly bad voic vod his manner ts still worse; bat his language, 1i not graceful or elegant, is always strong aud forcible. Its painful to hear him either in the pulpit or on the platform, and as his addresses are Invartanly of great lengin his audience not unfrequenty becomes weary, particularly {hat part of it be- yond the reach of his utterance. Unt when what he says appears on paper tt reads well, In bis speech on Wednesday he referred fo what the Popes in oldeu times did for Ireland and the claims Pins } IX. had upon the Insh people. When Cromwell | was trampling upon them Urban VIL. and innocent X. supported them with all the means at thetr dis. posal. After the siege of Litoerick Innocent NIL catled on ail the world to sapport them, collect for them _and published a jubilee in their favor. Clement XI. wrote to the clilef Catholic rulers of Kurope imploring them to use their infinence to ob- sain a relaxation of the Irish penal laws. Bub the greater part of his addre Went to show that the Pope conid Dot discharge his duties properly unless he were independent of ail temporal kings and prmces, Ifthe Pope were dependeat on any sov- ereign—say the Freneh Emperor—the other Cathotic rulers Would soon renounce lus spiritual authority, heeause they would naturally come to the conclu: sion that) he was infiuenced in the selection of bishops by his impertal mas- ter, And the Cardi supported this argo. ment by quoting am extract pm the writings of Frederick the Gr Prussia, An historical instance was also brought forward to show how the Chure! yuld be compromised in case the Pope was reduced 10 the condition of a subject, The patriarchs of Coustantinople were at Orst recognized ly the Greek emperors. But what wi tetr condition in reiation to these sovereigns’ As jong asthe Greek empire lasted they were treated as vassals and made tools of by their masters. hen Constantinople fell under the Turks the Sultun treated them in the same way. The Rus Kians afterward refased to adaut the rights of paviureh Who Wava subject of the Turks, In te ence, ist | Lhad contracted a cure u | Gut, in reality, fame Way Greece, when it had asserted tts independ would not submit to Constantinopie in spiritual matters, and lately the members of the Greek Church in Austria have constituted & pacrl- arch of theirown. in tis way the Cardinal pomicd out the evils that Would befall the Chureh mn case the Pope became a subject of the Kaug of italy. His address, which occupied upwards of an hour in delivery, 18 considered a most exhaustive docu- ment, putting, as it docs, before the pudlic in tie most favorable light possible for tue Pope the whole Italian question. The Earl of Granard proposed the first resolution, and, though his Lordship 18 not a good speaker, he is an able man and a man of great miuence, He is, T am told, the largest landed proprietor Mm Treiant and one of the most mduigent tO his topants, He identifies himself more with the people ana enters: more into their feehugs and sympathies than pro- bDably any other member of his order in this county and in ail questions connected with the Cathole re- ligton he lakes an active and promiuent part. {bis not two years since he Jotned the Catholle Chureh, and up to the present he has shown ail the zeal ol a devoted neophyte. He has appeared at two or three of these meetings of sympathy with the Pope, and, judging from his language, it would appear that he is quite as great an ultramontane as Cardinal Culien bimself, ‘The ouly subject touched upon tn his speech to which L shall refer is to the famous article in tne Edinburg Review, Lord Granard compiaimed bitterly of the tone of this article, but would not be- lieve that it was written by the Prime Minister, lor he could not think that he would ignore tie convic- ba of the mullions of her Majesty’s Catholic sub- Jects, But the great object of attraction at this great meeting Was neither a cardinal, nor an carl Dor a bishop, nor a pie;nber of Parliament, but an humble Dominican friar, There are few Catholics, L think, either La the Oid or in the New Worid, who have not heard of the jamous preacher, Father fom Burke, When I say that this great Irishman Is as eloquent in the pulpit and on the platforia as le is witty and amusing in private life 1 say a good deal, Every year, lor several years past, be has been invited by the Pope to preach the Lenten sermons to the English speaking resideuts, and this litte incident shows how hbighiy he is tieught or by the head of bis Church, Cardinal Cullen has pronounced him “ine prince of English speaking preachers;” but, whether he @eserves this high euioginm or not, he is certainly one of the most fascinating Oi living orators. Yet Father Tom, as ne familiarly called, is one of the humblest aud most careless of luen, for he refuses all titles and honors and neyer tries to add to his fame by puo- dishing any of his admirable discourses, He ts 4 typical Irish priest, fond of the people, of whom be is one, and shares alt thelr sympathies. Ue Is fond of society and society is fond of him, And well it might, Tor wiv. ever he goes “he seis tie table inaroar.” Hels the soul of wit, and grave digui- tries jaugh at his jokes aliaost in spite of ube. selves. very eye was turned on Father Tom at the great meeting on Wednesday, and the assembly seemed Hapatient until he arose, At last he came for ward and delivered anaddress which is universally admitted to have been the speech of the day, He ? arly severe on the English press, which, erh and Italian questions, he said, blew id from the one mouth. He quoted ex- tracts trom the Times showing how that journal applauded the violatton of the September Conven- tion and the spoliation of ihe Pope’s dominions by Victor Eminanuel, while it abused the Czar tor his breach of faith in attempting to set aside the Treaty of 1568, He ported out at great length how much civilization was ladebied to the Roman Ponutts, and concluded by institu a comparison between Ahab, who seized upon Nuboth’s vineyard, and tie Alng of Italy, Whatever may be the effect of this and other Meetings haying @ sinillar object, one thing is cer- lain—that lreland has done everything in her power in benaif of the Pope, it is impessibie to say What political significance will be attached to them by English statesmen; but every Catholic Jrish member, and many’ liberal Protestants aiso, are pledged to fight the Pope’s battle in the coming session of the British [onse of Commons. An address was presented to Mr, Gla me remind- ing him of the policy towards the Holy See of many of ms predecessors, and prayiig that in the coming Buropean conference the Engiish government ni extend its protection to the head of the Cathuli Ohureh, Itis not yet known ontside ecclestastical circles that Cardinal Cullen is now virtually the Pope of the Western Church. The Pope, being at present un- able to discharge the duties of his ofice, has dele- gated to the Cardinal Archbishop of Dublin the power of appointing all the English-speaking bish- ops of the Church. ‘This includes Lreland, England, America, Australia, Tudia and several other parts of the world. No one will doubt after tus that Cardi- nal Cullen 18 all-powerful at Rome. This appoint ment reiiects credit upon Ireland, aad the Irish peo- ple will learn with satisfaction that the Pope is anxious to recognize their fidelity and attachment whim. There are many ecelesiastics here, nigh in authority, who think that this appointment fore- shadows the elevation of Cardinal Cution to the Papacy itself, FRANCE.

At that time nothing yet existed. Thanks to the patriotism of my countrymen and the devoted zeal of ail my officers, by the 22d of November the camp of Cone was created and rendered inexpugnuabie, Forty-seven battalions of mobilized Bretons, several companies of Franes-tireurs, bold and well-discip- jined, had hastened, ready equipped,to my sum- mons; nine batteries of artillery, complete as to their materiel ane personnel, required nothing but harness tobe able to mancuvre eificiently.
