Jètimiitari). oil — Our latest news from Naples is dated October 5, four days earlier than the Turin telegram, which says that the N ca j ditan newspapers announce that Borges has been taken, tried, and shot. But a letter in the Monde, dated Naples, Oct. 2, fays : “ Borges, betrayed by one o f bis men, has escaped nr-aculously. I do not know the dota:,s, but am assured that he is reorganising his band.” This is an admission both o f reverses and o f danger. Tho letter ends thus : “ The follow ing news has arrived this tostaiit. Cipriani, Crescenzo, and Capieto, surrounding the Piedmontese on the plain o f E bol:, fo r -te en miles from Salerno, have destroyed four Regiments aud taken eight pieces o f arri'lery.” — The news from Ireland ’ s finable. The fadure o f the potato crop to a greater extent than in any year since 1816 opens a prosp ct o f misery for the winter, which is sufficient to appal any one. But the returns o f the harvest ju st pubPshed are also most discouraging. The area under cultivation in Ireland in 1861 shows a great decrease. There is a decrease in cereal crops o f 15,000 acres, in green crops o f 36,000 acres, and in meadow and clover o f 17 000 acres. When an increase o f 15,000 acres in fi-.V ;s allowc 1 for, we have a decrease o f 81,000 acres. The K in g o f Prussia's visit to the Emperor o f the French at Compiegne ^from Sunday, the 6th, to tuesday, the 8th, lies ¡been more talked about than other event o f the week. Every paper in Europe has had at least one article upon the subject « u t the peculiarity o f tho situation is, that those \ ho know what passed have chosen to say nothing about it ; while those who have chosen to say much about it kuew nothing. But the speculations o f tho press have been interesting, as revealing the wishes and objects o f the parti's represented by them. The Austrian journa's friendly to Prussia, declare that the King went to Compiegue to return the Emperor’s Vl?it, and to show that a legitimate Sovoreigu would not fail in the due observance the rules o f etiquette towards a new man. ’ " ° y point with a satisfied significance to the dates o f ho two visits, as proving that the K in g was in no hurry .? return the Emperor’s call, and they assure us that he K ing was too honest a German, and the Emperor a^° Polite a Frenchman, to allude to political subjects And on this diminished acreage there :s a bad harvest! Destitution -reports already begin to reach the Lord Lieutenant. One from Kilmovee, County Mayo, annouoc • that fiye-s‘ -:ths o f tho potato crop are destroyed, and tr a t if an the corn ; n the parish were tu~ned into meal, it would not feed the people for two months. — The deaths o f the Emperor o f China and o f the Queen o f Madagascar may be recorded as notable events at a time when the dearth o f interesting news is so great as to have suggested to Punch the idea o f a general meeting o f the gentlemen o f the Press, t , discuss the expediency o f bribing some one to throw himself o ff tho top o f St. Paul’s, or o f getting some men o f science to announce an earthquake close at hand, as a means o f a rou rng the attention o f the public. For the inhabitants o f London the best news is, that the Metropolitan Board o f Works have spent one million on their Great Drainage Scheme, and vvi’ l finish the undertaking in two years more at a cost o f tw o more m iPons. The French journals, on the other hand, were at Ph’ ns to establish that the visit was political and would { ,j.ve political results. They havo given immense once to Germany by declaring that France (lid not is nDtr ° i rout‘ or o f the Rhine, because a great river w- 10f u ' f ' o r ; but though they sayj France docs not e ant the Rhine, they say that Franco does want an th- ? l)si0.u. ° f territory at the expense o f Germany, and ht, as itisthe interest o f Germanvand ofthownrld that. .... . . .o me interest o f Germanyand o f the world that anee should be coutent and satisfied, the only quesn cm is, how is the transfer to bo made ? In this state thingsi the rimes supervenes, and with that admirable — Tho Freeman's Journal publishes a “ Pastoral letter and instruction o f his Grace the Most Rev. D r. Cullen, Archbishop, &c., (Erecting the establishment ‘ o f the Confraternity o f Peter’s Pence,” in which His Grace says :— “ We are resolved, after having consulted with the princi or Confraternity of Peters Pence, the members of which shall be united in pious communion of prayer and good works, to imploro of God to console and strengthen our beloved Pontiff in his afflictions, and shall join also their contributions to aid the exhausted resources of his treasury.’ 111. The pious Sodality or Confraternity of Peter’s Pence „ . hereby established in our Pro- Cathedral Church of tho Itn-, maculate Conception, Marlborough-stroet. their doternrnation, as far .as rested with them, to uphold by every lawful means in tbeir power, the rights, the possessions, the I’berty, and the independence o f the Pope. But those Catholics are not included, who have not repudiated these calumnies, and who, instead o f denouncing, have excused, the rapacity o f tho Pope’s enemies. T h o 'e Catholics are not included who have placed neither themselves nor their po. essions at the Pope’s disposal (there arc a good many o f them in tho United Kingdom o f Great Britain and Irelaud). Those Catholics are not included, who, instead o f manifesting their determination to uphold by every lawful means in their power, the Pope’s rights and possessions, have very clearly manifested that they thought it o f more consequence to uphold the W h ig Ministry. Indeed, i t is a strange thought that in France and Ita ly alone there are between fifty and sixty millions o f baptised Ca th o lic s ; o f these, between twenty-five and thirty !millions are males; and o f these, between ten and AUSTRIAN EMPIRE. V ienna, Oct. 10.—The Emperor left to-dayfor Trieste, en route for Corfu. P estii, Oct. 10.—The majority of the members of tho Provincial Government o f Transylvania have determined not to publish the edict for tho convocation o f the Transylvanian Diet, on the ground that the laws of the country confer on them the right o f protesting against all illegal demands, and that a separate Transylvanian Diet would be opposed to the union o f Transylvania and Hungary. Count Maylath will henceforth renounce all participation in the administrative affairs of Hungary. The news published by the French journals in reference to certain resolutions adopted at a conference of Hungarian leaders and refugees at Genoa, is without any foundation. No deputies were sent to any such conference. fifteen millions are adult men. H ow many o f them deserve to be called Faithful, or to be included in the effective strength o f the Catholic world ; for, o f course it is o f the effective strength only that IBs Grace speaks— i. e., o f those only, who, in heart and in mind in their thoughts and in their affections, are with the Church, aud on her side against her enemies. PIEDMONT. T urin, Oct. 10.— The Opinionc o f to-day says :— “ It. is impossible to accept the statement o f the Correspondencia Autografa that the archives of the Neapolitan Consulate would be given up on account o f Francis II. having given his consent. That would exclude tho mediation o f France. — The glorification o f the ex-Jesuit l ’ assaglia, to which the Liberal and Revolutionary press over Europe has devoted itself; since the publication o f his recent pamphlet, has provoked from the Armonia o f Turin, rather telling exposure o f this new champion o f the Revolution. Father Passaglia’s Latin pamphlet, “ Pro causa. Ita lics,” pubr shcd at Florence in 1861, is con trasted by the Armonia with a pamphlet in Italian, published by Father l ’ assaglia, in 1860. The title o f the latter is, “ The Pontiff and the Prince, or Theology, Philosophy, and Polities harmonised, respecting the Temporal Sovereignty o f the Pope. Dialogues o f Dom Charles P f s u g l ia , 1860.” I t was written as an answer to the celebrated pamphlet, “ Le l ’ape et le Congrcs, o f M. do la Guerroniere. Father Passaglia said : “ The Temporal Sovereignty guarantees to the Papacy its independence, In the same way as the ownership o f its lands and rents guarantees its liberty to tho Church That is to say, it withdraws the supreme Sacerdotal Power from the exorbitant exigencies o f the Civil power. I t withdraws the free power o f the Pope from the bad influences o f political dissensions. I t saves the Pontifical decrees from the suspicion o f wounding the dignity o f Christian nations. I f there is a legitimate sovereignty on earth it :s that o f the Pope, for, more than all others, it reposes on free respect, on sponta ncous submission, and on long continued possession.” “ M. Thouvenel is said to have signified to M. Mon, tho Spanish Ambassador at Paris, that should Spain not accept the proposition of France, he foresaw an interruption of diplomatic relations between France and Spain.” T urin, Oct. 10.—The Sentinclle o f Brescia publishes a letter from Vincenza, dated 7th ¡list., which states that while the Austrian troops were manoeuvring on the Champ do Mars, a mine exploded in the middle of their camp. KINGDOM OF THE TW O SICILIES. Naples, Oct. 9.— Orders have been given to surround the band of Cypriani in the mountains of Nola. Many troops havo already left for that destination. ROME. R ome, Oct. 9.—The Due do Gramont has been decorated with the Grand Cross of the Order of Pius IX ., and has left Rome for France. SW ITZERLAND. Berne, Oct. 10.— M. Thouvenel has referred M. Kern to the French tribunals, on the subject o f the demand of Switzerland for satisfaction for the attack recently published in the Constitutionnel against the Government o f Genova, on the ground that the Momteur is the only organ of the French Government. The Monde, from which we are translating, says that the article o f the Armonia is four columns long, and therefore it contents itse’ f with reproducing the fo llow ing table, in which the principal propositions maintained by Father Passaglia, in his Latin pamphlet o f 1861, are contrasted with the principal propositions in bis Itai:an pamphlet o f 1860. Ofinions of Passaglia in 1860. 1. The Pope cannot live under an earthly Sovereign. 2. I f the Pope were not King, there would be scandals and schisms. 3. I f the Pope be dispossessed, the Church will suffer loss and misfortune. 4 ■ 'Phe Temporal Power o f the Pope demands all our veneration. Opinions of Passagliv i 1861. 1. The Pope must live under the K in g o f Italy. • 2. There will be scan dab and schisms i f the Pope remains King. 3. I f the Pope be dis possessed, the Church will gain great advantages. 4. The Temporal Sovereignty o f the Pope must be opposed. SPAIN AND MEXICO. The Nord remarks:— “ Whilst everything tends in Europe to draw closer Governments and States, the Spanish Government persists in maintaining itself in haughty isolation, and in continuing on its own account its preparations against Mexico. The Ministry, says our Madrid correspondent, wishes to produce an impression on public opinion, and to occupy it for a time so as to be able without risk to evacuate Tetuan. The squadron destined to convey the troops o f embarkation is to consist of fourteen vessels, six o f them screw frigates, and is to sail towards the end of the month.” AMERICA. The N e v Yotk llerakl states that very few over half of the last call for 25,000 men from the State of New York have enlisted, and thinks the quota cannot be made up without resorting to drafting. The following despatch is published in the New York papers :— . e St. Louis, Sept. 25. boPth France a n d ?

In the Pastoral letter IP s Grace rays.-— “ Amidst the manifold calamities which aro daily befalling the world, it is, dear brethreu, a source pf great consolation to witness tho splendid manifestations of devotion to the Holy See, and unshaken fidelity to the great centre of Latholic unity, tho Chair of S t Peter, daily elicited through ° * tb®. entire world by tho many and most severe trials wmch, in the inscrutable designs of Divine Providence, have taiien to the lot of our most beloved Father and Pontiff, the gloriously reigning Pi,., the Ninth........................................ garyi press, 1 he revolutionary movoment, in Italy, Austria, and Hun- navo the full sympathy of tho so-ca'lod liberal T 1 , .Ca*1iS0 . y are anti-Calholic. To tho wrongs of Ireland, to the struggles of the Neapolitans, and tho suffeiings of 1, ’ fneso sympathies are denied, because the question affects the cause of a Catholic nation and the freedom of the Catholic religion. But to alt this outpouring of injustice and calumny, directed against the Sovoreign Pontiff and his sacred rights, what, dearest brethren, has been tho reply of tho Catholic world As one man tho faithful have arisen, and as with one voice they have repudiated the calumnies, they have denounced the criminal rapacity, of which their beloved Pontiff was sought to bo mado tho victim, and placing themselves and their possessions at his disposal, they have manifested their determination, as far as rested with them, to uphold by every lawful means m their power, the rights, the possessions, the liberty, and the independence of the Vicegerent on earth of Jesus Chi.st. But in these sentences o f the Archbishop’s Pastoral, 5. Whoever rises against the Pope-K in g , proves that his soul is neither pious nor religious. 6. The Temporal Power is necessary to the Pope for the sake o f the Spiritual. 7. The consensus o f the Bishops defends the P op e -K in g . 8. He who takes from the Pope his States is ex communicated by the Council o f Trent. ff. There is scandalous temerity in believing the contrary o f wliat the declarations o f the Pope teach. 5. Pious and religious men must rise against tbe P ope-K in g . 6. The Temporal Power is injurious to the Pope as regards things spiritual. 7. The Bishops ought to oppose tho l ’ ope-Kiug. 8. The Bishops are mistaken in thinking those excommunicated who rob the Pope. 9. There is a noble patriotism in opposing the solemn declarations o f tlie Pope. The Monde says that these formal contradictions might well lead one to believe that Father Paesaglia has lost not only his memoiy, but also his senses. The unfortunate Priest is the derision even o f those whom he has served so disgracefully. They do not scruple to » y that the Ministry might have well abstained from giving the defence/ o f the Italian cause to a Jtsuite defroque ____ T he Rev. J. J .

He reports that a large amount o f gold, 7 cannon, 4,500 rules and muskets, the equipments of Colonels Marshall s and Mulligan’s regiments, a number of waggons, and a considerable quantity of provisions, feu into the hands of the rebels. There were but i.,200 engaged on our side, the balance of the men being sick or absent, while the force of the enemy is 6tated at 30,000 engaged, and 10,000 out on marauding expeditions. Tlie surrender was made against the strongest protest of Colonel Mulligan, who proposed to attack the enemy with the bayonet, and die with arms in their hands. The men were willing to follow him, but were so exhausted that they could have made but feeble resistance.” The following is the official report of the battle of Lexington, forwarded by General Fremont to the War Department at Washington :— “ Colonel E.
