PILGRIMS IN ROME. Addresses and Contributions Presented to the Pontiff. BISMARCK AGAIN AT WORK. The German Royal. Family Honoring England’s Queen, The French Clericals Dissatisfied With the New Cabinet, (BY caBLz To THE HERALD.] Loxpon, May 25, 1877. The HERALD correspondent at Rome telegraphs that the Pope received 300 American pilgrims at noon yesterday, His Holiness was accompanied by the Cardinals and remained sitting on a portable chair on the dais of the Pontifical throne, He looked well, but coughed at intervals. Archbishop ‘Wood read an address in Italian, expressing the good wishes of Philadelphia and enumerating the benefits conferred by the Pope on the Church fn the United States, ADDRESS FROM THE CLERGY OF NEW YORK. _ Father Kearney read the Latin address trom the clergy of New York (a translation of which Was published in the HegaLD on the departure of the Pilgrims) congratulating His Holiness on his ad- vanced age and his prolonged Pontificate, applaud- ing bis successful struggles against error, on the dogmatic definition of the Immaculate Conception and of the Infallibility, on the Syllabus, expressing a hope for the completion of the Ecumenical Coun- cil and imploring the Pontifical blessing, The ecclesiastics then kissed the Pope's hand. A VALUABLE OFFERING. Father Kearney then presented His Holiness With @ purse of $25,000; the albums containing the photographs of the New York contributora he also presented. A further sum of $1,000 in gold was presented as a special contribution from the Sisters of Charity and the organization known as the Children of Mary. Burlington, Vt, sent @n address breathing attachment and devo-~ tion to the Holy Father, ‘and California characteristically forwarded a silver brick. ‘His Holiness carefuliy examined the addresses, and did not forget to inspect California's brick, , ‘THE Pors’s ANSWER, ‘In reply to the American addresses he thanked God for the affectionate manifestation of his chil- dren from the fat-oif land, and sala that even at the beginning of the troubles of his Pontificate a car- dinal it the College of the Propagands had foretold that ald and consolation would come to the Holy See from the faithful children of the American Oharchy and wirty years’ experiente’ hag’ con firmed the truth of this prophesy. He dwelt at length on’ the wonderful progress which the Catho- li¢ Church n America had made. ADVICE TO THE FAITHFUL, His Holiness said that nations, like individuals, bad youth, manhodd and old age; and now America was in the enjoyment of a vigor- ous youth that was alarming the nations of the Old World. America enjoyed many ad- vantages, but suifered also from some of the de- fects natural to youth, as rashness, materialism and an excess of independence, His Holiness re- commended the faithful to subordinate their ma- terial interests to their spiritual welfare and the good of religion, and make their republican spirit submissive to divine law, When His Holiness ut- tered this sentiment there was a very audible mur- mur in the assembly, at which the Pope smiled and said that he spoke trom nis heart. THR PAPAL BLESSING, During the address His Holiness spoke of the persecutions to which the Church is subjected in Europe, When the Pope concluded his remarks the assembly applauded heartily. His Holmess then dismissed the pilgrims, ‘thanking them foi the generous offerings they had brought and be- stowing om them the Papal bénediction. After tiie f audience @ brilliant receptioa took place at tte American College. BLOWN UP BY BRIGANDS. ‘That special product of sunny Italy, the brigand, still fourishes. as is shown by a characteristic inci- dent. Signor Rizzi, Chief Inspector of Police at Lercara, showed much firmness against the brigands at the time of the capture of a Mr. Rose, an English subject. On the night of the 15th inst. Signor Rizzi’s house was destroyed by an explosion of gunpowder, Himself, his wife and two sons es- caped alive, though severely hurt. The house had veen secretly undermined. BISMARCK AT WORK. The great German Chancellor suddenly recovered trom bis indisposition when he learned the blunder which MacMahon and lis reactionary advisers had made, The German statesman has loug been watching for an excuse to crush France before she had completed her military reorganizawon. ‘The dismissal of Jules Simon, by dividing France into two hostile camps, seems to ofer Bismarck the opportunity for which he has been watching and perhaps working. It would not be at ali strange if the future should prove that De Brogile was only the catspaw of the astute German in his unpatriotic grab for office, A Berlin despatch to Reuter’s Telegram Com- pany says:—"There bas been great activity at the Foreign Office while Prince Bismarck was here, and an active interchange of telegrams with the Ambassadors abroad, particularly the Ambassador at Rome. It 19 stated that the latter will shortly visit Berlin.” From these sand other indications the Nasional Zeitung concludes that Prince Bis- marck is about to assert bis personal infuence upon the course of affairs, THE WOLF AND THE LAMB, The Germans have evidently made up their mind to use MacMahon’s unwise coup a’état as an excuse to impose further humiliation on France, and even to make {it an excuse to precipitate a conflict which they regard as inevitable, Should they attack France under existing circumstances, they would be con- siderably aided by internal dissensions, and Bis- marck is not 2 eed lose @ good opportunity to complete the work of crippling France, The North German Gazelle reports that two Ger- Man officers were seriously ill treated at Nancy on Monday, particularly by the soldiers. The samo’ journal, commenting on French assurances of pacific intentions, says:—“Por the present, only one thing can be regarded as beyond doubt—namely, that the German government dey, | W YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1877.— Votes the most serious attention to the further de. Velopment of matters in France, and to symptoms of any connection afairs there may have with the International Society, and especially with the cleri- cal policy, The eagerness with which the French government sends assurances of peaceful intentions cannot remove the distrust attaching to the in‘u- ences and circumstances under which the change of Cabinet was brought about, The mixture of Or- leanism with Uitramontanism in the new govern- ment ts most suspicious.”’ BISMARCK ON A PICNIC, Prince Bismarck and family have started for Kis- Singen, where the great Chancellor wit) be able to matare his plans without interruption. He may be expected to return to Berlin at any moment. ROYAL COURTESIES. In the meantime courtesy is not forgotten, and though the is full of war rumors the Imperial family do not forget to pay honor to their fair cousin, Victcria. To-day the Crown Prince and Princess gave a’ State dinner at Potsdam im honor of Queen Victoria's birthday. The Em- peror and the Imperial family, the principal court dignitaries, Lord Russell, the British Ambassador ; Lady Russell, the members of the British Embassy and several distinguished generais will be present, TRAITORS TO PRAXCE, The French reactionists are not yet satisfied with the damage they have done their country, Like beasts that have tasted blood, they howl for more victims, Not satisied with the slaughter of prefects, they want a siill more reactionary Cabinet. Love of piace has evi- dently killed every sentiment of patriotism, The Jegitimist and clerical newspapers continue to express adesire for the modification of the Cabinet in con- formity with their views, A GRAIN OF ‘ComPoRT, The Moniteur states thet Prince Hohenlohe, the German Ambassador, and President MacMahon re- cently had a most friendly and reassuring conversation. But no one of any sense attaches any inportance to these diplomatic professions for their ipsincerity istoo apparent, While words of polite reassurance are being exchanged in Paris thsee German legions are again mustering on the Rhine, TRE RED ErROTRE, Spain 18 not yet dono with her communists, or as they prefer to call thomselves, cantonalista, The gov- ernment has been for some time watching their movements, and Jast night some of the conspirators were arrested. Documents implicating them were found upon thelr persons and they have been handed to the judicial authorities. The arrests created gome excitement, and in order to reassure public opinion the Mini: of the Interior stated in the Con- gress to-day that the arrest of Cantonalist con- spirators was of no political importance. if the Prisoners’ opinions were to be asked they probably would not agree with those of the Minister, THE PIGTAILS AROUSED, The Chinese are somewhat alurined at the action of the Spanish government in ordering the Spanish squadron to assemble in China seas, ana the Chinese government bas ordered ships {rom tho Foochow arsenal to Takao to guard against a descent on the Formosa coast The trouble is probably caused by the efforts of the Coolie traders to incroase their infamous trafic in human beings.
