The Itcntiieniral Council?-The Pope's Policy iu Iteapecl to the Council?Itis Preliminary Arttc?Tbo Nyllnbua of 1NU7?The Secrecy of the Prevent Oiierntlona. IfOMK, July JS, JNWI. In treating of this subject, so fraugnt with interest for the whole christian as well as Catholic world, I must solicit tlie attention of your readers witile I retrace tt'i ooo the course oi events oon' ncettvl with the approaching Council, atiu place before them the sltnutlon of affairs ai tho present moment. The dope's Intention of convoking a General Council ot the Church, hinted at In the summer of l(t#9, was nut seriously credited even In clerical circles at that time The Kuprema Pontiff was admitted to he personally infalllole when .-peaking ex caihHtrd, anil he had sltoirn, by the ilciltnlkiu of the dogma of tli(? Immaculate OonoeptioH, tnathndld nor require the concurrence of n council for the accomplishment, of uu" of the greatest MM of Cite Papal authority. The catholic bishops were simply consulted on that occasion by a circular letter, aud invited 10 tlio VatJ un to witness the splendid careinoiry of the slogminiflAi dcitnttloii. The iittramuutane party in the Church, therefore, favorable to the ahaolatc supremacy of Home, saw no necessity u.r the convocation ?f a council. The nunii tramontanes liouid nut cuuipretiend why the Pope, whoso absolute poirerr?f lute years in riMirch mailers had increased as tnnch us that of temporal hovereiRiia in State aflairs had diminished, should wish 10 summon a kind of t.'aihollc parliament, piiMHihiy to circumscribe his attributions. Hotti parties admitted that, the only necessity fur such ? stop would have arisen ironi the develoomeot of suae new echjxin or dangerous heresy, to judge and NEW Yl STTifi ?t m ii ? . - . condemn which wonld require tne authority of the Supieme Hetyd, eurroanded by all tbe bishop* ol tne Church. Bat no each cause was verified. A lapse of two years confirmed the doubtful rumor. On the oth of Jane, 1897, about hall tbe bishops of Christendom, being congregated in Home for tlic centenary of St. Peter, received a syllabus of seventeen questions, chiefly disciplinarian, witji a letter from Cardinal Caterlnl, requesting them to meditate thereon and give their opinions in writing on the subject in three or four months. Similar letters aud copies or the syllabus were forwarded to the absent bishops, but no allusion was made to the council, aitnougn clerical journals ninica ui*i vue syllabus was, an It were, a sketch of the matters to lie ireuted of in that assembly. But on the htth of the same month the I'ope, replying u> the address of the bishops, declared bis Intention of summoning a council in Koine on Hie 8tli 01 December, the festival of the Immaculate Conception, hut without specifying in what year. On the h?tu of June, lstki, Hum IX. published ills bull ;ttrrni Tutrix convoking the Vatican Council for the 8th of Decern tier, lktw, and touched on the programme, prudently putting 101 ward "the Integrity of the faith, ihe diguity of divine worship, the salvuilou of souls, the discipline of the secular and regular clergy, the instruction or the clergy, the observation ol ecclesiastical laws, the correction of manners, ine Christian education of youth." &c. The ultramontanes of course acquiesced immediately tu whatever euiauated from the wise and provident decisions of (he Supreme Pontiff, and proclaimed the Council us a measure of the utmost importance fur the iaithlul. The non-ultranioiiiauea and secular governments, however, suspected that the court of Home, lu summoning a Council, had some other object in view than the mere continuation o( the Questions proposed In the syllabus and iliebull Jitemi Tutrix, the I'ope having previously taken upon himself the much graver responsibility of defining a dogma of me Church without any such aid. The non-ultramontanes suspected the pontiff of aiming at obtaining Irom the council a decree establishing his personal intallibiiity?a privilege watch In practice already belongs lo him, but which would only be incontestable after the solemn confirmation of an Kcuineuicul Council, ft is useless to demonstrate (luce id Church government auil how superfluous Councils would become forever alter. Secular governments were more suspicious that the Court oi Koine wu8 about to extort from the usee rubied bishops a new uihrmutiou oi the necessity oft lie Cope's temporal power, ami a full approbation of tne condemnation of all the modem principles ol' social relations contained 111 the lainous syllabus accompanying the eucyclica, "(/iuiuta cura" ot the Kin of uecetnbor, 1864. This condemnation, as yet emanating from the l'ope only, would acquire more authority if sanctioned by the Church universal. Hence (he coldness with wtucii tne non-ultraiooiitancs and secular goveruinems received the official announcement of ilie approaching Council. Meanwhile the subjects to be treated ol ure being worked out in Home without the concurrence or the bishops ol the L'uthoiic world, who will only be iuioruied or the programme when lliey arrive lu Home, llie Pope reserves to himself the laniutiveol the questions, and forms Mi em In concert with the congregation oi cardinals directing the Council, who then submit them to the examination or the various preparatory committees, who give cuelr votes, or rather opinions, as to the opportunity of treating such questions and the solutions to give them, Sack discus slons are to be held secret under pain ol excoiuiuumention, and the primers employed ut the (juirmal Typography are bounu to silence under the heaviest penalties. Perhaps the governments most Interested might obtain irotu the Court of Koine more precise lufoi'iiiaiion us to Hie proposed operations of tiie Council, before taking part decidedly for or against it. Hut hitherto the replies of Cardinal Auionelli to foreign Ministers have been too cautious to lead to Inopportune revelations. Ills Km tne ace justly attributes uh future decisions ot the Kcuuicnicul Council to the direct inspiration of the Holy uhost, of whose juteutious he equulJy reasonably professes himself 'V ?" >?.uaV> V.-...W ....J "r?i>'U|i sucn inspirations liave boeii held to oe coincident wuli tte wishes of the Court of Rome, and in the approaching Council they will be doubtless equally so. Your readers will tuns realize the uncertainty winch hangs over die programme and the decisions oi the Vatican Council, and the dutlcuities which diplomatists and special correspondents have to encounter. Above all, give no credit to current reports that the Council will not be held at all, or at least that it will be adjourned. ft is uot probable that the Court of Koine will renouuee a project on which It lias evidently founded great hopes, nor is It likely that secular governments in the present day will consider it necessary to ltlnder an ecclesiastical assembly from meeting, discussing and possibly condemning the most liberal principles of modern society. M. de Beust himself. In replying to Prince Hoheulotie, has declared that Austria is strong enough not to require coercive measures against the Council, and will make use of lite power conierred by the new laws ol the empire 11 ihe rights of the Blate are mfnnged upon by It. Similar moderation may be expected from other governments. As U> an adjournment, 1 can think ol only three contingencies which would render such a step necessary or even probable?a huropeau war, a pestilence 111 Rome or a tresh uaribaidlau invasion, none ol wnieh, it is to be devoutly hoped, win take place. It Is to be recollected that V10 Nouo clings to the realization ot Ids plan with as much amour ijropre as is admissible 111 a character so sincerely and undoubtedly pious as his. lie wishes to hold forth with <t lai the uioral power of the Church In this punitive age or material interests, and to add the glory of such uu importunt aud unusual event as the convocation of a general council to Ids Pout illcute, already rife, with such materials fur the lustorian, beginning with the grantliig of a general umnesty and a tree constitution in it*47, and passing through the various phases of revolution, flight ana restoration, to the l'leduioutcse uud Caiioaldian invasions in political events,|tlie Introduction of railways and telegraphs, with uittnv other social improvements in tne interior of his (states, and ilie dctlnltiou or the dogma of the immaculate Conception, the rc-esta.'illshiuent of Catholic hierarchies in England and Holland, and the numerous oilier important achievements m eccieslasticul atfuirs. FRANCE. The 1* reposed Reforms?Speech of .M. Rouhcr in the Sen Hie. The Senate assembled on the 2d Inst., anil M. Kouher, the president, delivered a speech In which he said that the Senate bad been convoked to examine important modifications of the constitution of the empire, which had been brought about by a fortunate understanding between tne government and the legislative Kody. No sovereign hail followed the movement of public opinion more faithfully than the Emperor, who had always considered power as being the propcrtvof the nation. M. Konher dwelt upon the continual movement which had been going on transforming an authoritative empire into a liberal empire by the initiative of ilie Emperor himself?pointing, in support of this view, to the amnesty and the reforms or 18H0, ihbi and 18G7, the witoie terminating to-dav In a perfected equilibrium betwecu the powers of the state and a better distribution of their rights and privileges. Alluding H> the impatience and regrets recently manifested, the President said:?' They are hotn equally unjust. To wish that France should remain at a standstill while liberal doctrines take possession of the whole of Kttrope would be to disregard the necessary law 01 our influence throughout the world and to weaken the sacred ties which unite the Napoleonic dynasty to llic French nation; Imt to let oneself glide with Indifference dowu a decline which leads to an abyss would be to torgct. that France has a riuht to require froui the government absolute security against violent passions, mini wishes, and implacable hatred, for, in the words of Augustus, -The Fin pi re Is suillciently popular to go liaud and hand with liberty, and strong enough to preserve It from anarchy.' (Applause.) The Senate will, therelore, approach (lie discussion or these constitutional reforms without experiencing a misplaced timidity, and, at the same tune, without yielding to thoughtless impulse; but with the Urui intention of tnterpieting and consecrating the will of the country. The combined efforts 01 the government und ol the Senate will establish a more genuine harmony and a more fruitful solidarity between the powers of the stale and the institutions of the Umpire, and will give them renewed strength, lustre and popularity." V. Koulier afterwards expressed regret at the death of M. Troplong, late President of the Seriate, and ol several other members of the I'ppcr Chumoer, am^ihe Seiwlun t'ouHnlhim was then read.

AUSTRIA. The Foreign Policy of the Empire. fVleuua (July 28) correspondence London Times.) In the Relchsratb Committee the foreign policy of the empire has been subjected to a searching criticism, and this criticism was followed by a long expose by Count Buest, of both of which only fragmentary intelligence has oozed out. The relations of Aust ria to the North Herman Confederation formed the chief subject of the discussion. Dr. Demel. belonging to the so-called German left, wanted to know why relations with Prussia were not so friendly as they might and ought to be. According to his views there ought to be the most friendly relatlous with Prussia, lustead of the approach to France which he seemed to discern in the Bed Book; above a'I, In the advice given by Count Beust to Belgium in tue matter of the railway business. Austria, according to his opinion, had no points of contact with France, it was tins last country which had always fostered the so-called nationalities and this was certainly not in the Interest or Austria. The Poles in the committee stood un in defence of Frauce and the principle of nationalities. According to theui neither was France to he condemned tor having raken up tue principle, nor was there any danger to Austria in Its application. tuner delegates asked questions about the relations with Koine, aud lu general about the proirrtimmo urlit/>h tho UinlatnP fnllnwoil in hiu (nroiLfll policy. Count Heust answered in a long speech all these different questions, Insisting, above all, that it was not his Tauit if the relations with Prussia were not as they might be. Not ouly has Austria shown at every opportunity that she accepted frankly and without afterthought tne consequences or the treaty of Prague; not only das Austria conscientiously abstained lrom exerting any Influence In the Internal organization or North Germany, but she has even, in the North behleswlg question, coutlned herself to some well meant advice, although Count Bismarck himself has declared tu lull Parliament that Austria was the only Power winch could demand that the provisions of the treaty of Prague relating to North rtchleswig should be curried into effect. Besides, although the treaty of Prague considers the future organization of a South German Confederation, Austria has looked on without saying a word, while Prussia, by tier military treaties with the .Southern German States, has rendered the Cidabltshruent of such a South Geriuau federation meaningless. It could scarcely lie expected that too Austrian Foreign Minister should ask Prussia to cross the line of the Main, and lie could scarcely be blamed if he appealed to the treaty ot Prague as setting limits to the extension of Prussia- that, on the other hand, Austria should entertain friendly relations with France and Italy could surely be no reproach; for If the treaty of Prague obliges Austria to be neutral with regard to the North German Confederation. It cannot condemn her to impotence and complete Isolation. Thai some or the despatches should be ra'Uer pointed was natural enough, considering the boundless attacks of the Prussian semi-official press, as lor a general programme, Connt Beust tttiuks this with regard to loretgu poltcv is impossible. The policy to be followed consists, first, in adapting oneseir to the existing circumstances.|Iu general Count Beust described tlin airiinffGii uu linpiilmik- n<?nf>ofnl arirl lUunrAil flio committee that he always endeavored to keep Austria's freedom or action for any eventuality unimpaired. The Convent Disclosure?More About the Cracow Nun. The~KraJ again, a paper which appears in Cracow, publishes in a special edition a story which may weil be In connection with the whole mystery. It is as follows:?In the month of April, 1&48, a patrol of the National Guard remarked, about one o'clock In the morning, a travelling carriage before the entrance iloor of the Carmelite nunnery. Curiosity and suspicion induced the yonng men on guard to stop the carriage, which was just starting. Two oI tlieiu went to the carriage door, and saw In the carriage two men. one ol whom held on niw knees a woman in a nun's dress, and having a nightcap on her head. While the Natioual Guards asked questions of the men In the carriage, the woman jumped out and ran into the courtyard of the convent, one ol the guardsmen ran after her, and, in spite of her entreaties, would not let her go. The noise in the lindsi of the uight awoke the nuns aud servants of tin: convent. When the nun remarked this she cried out "I am lost." and tainted. What happened to her aiterwards Is unknown. The patrol arrested the two men una led them towards tue town, but moved by their eutre&tleB and seeing in the whole matter bui a love adventure, the patrol, consisting 01 students ot the University, let them go. The Cracow paper now thinks that there may be some connection between this adventure, which happened In the year 1848, and the mystery lately discovered, and that by looking over the lists of the National Guard then existing and tracing those who were on duty the connection betweeu tbe two might be established. The cias of Cracow announces the suddeti death of the confessor of the Carmelite nunnery, the principal witness in the affair of liarbara Ubryk,#y whom indirectly the barbarous imprisonment of the nun was revealed. This man, who is called Father Lewkowlcs, lately visited the parish priest of Trzcbinia In a state of Intoxication and betrayed the secret. The priest, who is a very worthy man, made It immediately known to a cousin of his own in Cracow, and the latter wrote the anonymous letter to tne Minister of Justice. The excitement of the people is still so great that the antnorltles have found it necessary to protect all the convents of tbe towu Dy giving eaeu 01 iiiciu a military guard. 1 in: tuny superior nas been arrested, an well as her predecessor, who was living in auotber convent. SPAIN. Bold Manifesto of the Captain General of Madrid?The Carlisle?-Diplomatic Representatives Abroad. General ixquierdo, Captain General of Madrid, has addressed a long communication to the Hegent and General Prim, in which he says:?

Carlist accounts represent rbe movement to be of a serious character. Several journals of moderate politics, Including the SiqIo, have ceased to appear.

DENMARK. The Kiln (I uhm Bet worn the Prussian and !>aninh < overn inenur?fSchlmm lg-Hol?iHn. In DagbUUIH of 96(h ult? the third anniversary of i lie signing at Nlcolsburg or the preliminaries of peace bet ween Austria anil Prussia? there la given an excullont summary of the relations that have since subsisted between tne Prussian and Danl-h governments, in which It is dearly shown that ulthough It whs then stipulated and *ubsei|iiontly conflfined by Article V. of the Treaty of Prague "That the northern districts of Mchleswig should be restored to Denmark if ? vote freely given by the inhabitants stiould intimate their desire to that eflbcl," not. only has no step been taken by l*ru-?sia to fultll her obligation, but every evaMton lias been practised to render it nugatory, though she has meanwhile availed herself of every oilier condition in the treaty 10 reap the immense advantages which she has gained by It. H Is also shown mat Denmark lias never ceased to luge the maims of the people of tne North Hehleswlg to obtain tueir rights, though Prussia has umlorihly set all sac.h endeavors at defiance, w Hereupon significantly aska, "If sucii conduct or Pniaala affords any evidence of the true seuiiittMit of the uriocioies of nationahtr which she fctTGDST 15, 1869?TRIPLE ik s'ways Invoking for her own aggrandisement. or of Uiu: icspect lor tri alien which King iVtiitain and hut statesmen have always on their lips, ran it ne sa.u that the Power which thus refuses to fulfil her solemn and formal obligation!* does nothing to Imperil the peace of Europe "'?the article referred to closing with the remark that "it la indeed high time that an answer should be given to such question*, and that the iniquitous treatment of Schleswig. which has "become a scandal for Europe, should meet With a just and adequate reparation." It might have been supposed that at this time of day nothing more was to have been heard of tue relations between the King of Prussia and Duke Frederick of Hchleswig-Holsteln with regard to thl>MP DiipIiipu Km nni> attnnrl/in hfla npiprthp^uu been drawn to an article on this subject which has recently appeared in the Kitler-XMumj, which is as follows:? There arc many ways of telling a story, but the falsehood which only tolls half the truth in always , the blackest. We have now to do with a story of this kind, in consequence of what has | appeared in the Haint>itrijrr-Corre*ijomlen(vn as "Letters from Berlin " relerring, among other things, to the position assumed by Bute Frederick of Schleswig-Holsteln In 1864, and boldly stating that the Liuke had objected to the admission of ITussia into all conferences relating to the Duchies, The writer omits to say what every one in Schleswig-iiolstein knows, and what every correspondent should have been acquainted with, viz.:? that there was a formal agreement between the King of Prussia and the liuke of Schieswig-Holsteiu which directly recognized the admission of Prussia into all such conierences. All the circumstances are fully narrated In the /tzehor Nuchrichfeu, from which we extract the following:?"tin the luth February, ism, the liuke wrote to the Crown Prince of Prussia, drawing the attention 01 bis Royal Highness and that of his rather, the King, to the probable annexation of the Huchtes through a conference on tnc subject. To this the l ing sent no reply at lirsi, and it was thought the suggestion uid not meet with ms Majesty's approval; but at last, on me ltltli April, the King answered, through the Crown Prince, "that he would t>e glad toheariroin the hereditary duke if he would write to him direct, but that there must be no go-between, aim any communication made must be as between priuce and prmcc." As the indispensable conditions lor Prussia tlie King mentioned the following:? 1. Th? establishment of a naval nation, and of a safe place for the evolutions of the Prussian navy. 2. That Keinlsburg should bo declared a confederate fortress anil should be garrisoned by Prussian troops 3- That Prussia should hare the privilege ot mailing uae of the Uraud Canal for Prussian communication with tier tlert. 4, That a military convention should he organized similar to that which had been concluded with Coburg. It. The entrance of the Duchies into the Zullverein, as the boundaries would undoubtedly In ttuure be conterminous. These were the conditions for which the King then stipulated, aud as soon us tne Duke had taken advice od the subject he wrote to the King on the '39th of April, 1804, expressing his conviction that such an arrangement could not be regarded as a sacrifice, as It would be the interest of the Duchies to unite themselves as closely as possible with Prussia, for the benefit of their commercial intercourse, and on that account the Duke declared lie was ready to agree to ail the conditions of the King, and slated that he was of opinion Hie representatives of the country would agree with hlin, remarking only as to the admission to the Zollvercln thai in the reconstruction o! that union it would be desirable if the tariff should be formed on the uiodei of that of Prance; aud therefore, when in the course of the summer when that plan was adopted, tlie only apparent objection was done away with, and so complete an understanding wus established mat n jiuutj ttuo iiiiiiiciuabcij uc*uiu|?cu v? iiic.ii snowed now thoroughly the King: and the Duke were agreed, Prussia released herself lroui her obligations under the London protocol of 1852, and*ou the 28th May there followed the simultaneous deelaraliuu of Prussia, Austria and the German Confederation, announcing the separation of the Duchies iroui Denmark, and lueir union as one State under the sovereignty or Duke Frederick as lawful heir.

" o--? J duced good results. In every part of the j couutry we ilnd the considerations winch we < have ventured to present to the Associated (] Press attracting observation. From this discussion i good must come. The anomalies and blunders In I the Associated Press ecouorny are so great iliat the } able men comprising It have only to open their eyes j and see. Tlie trouble with these men is, that they t know little of their own partnership. They have | other coucerns. Business, politics, investments in railroads and real estate are of more interest than the gathering ol their news, in the few years past 1 they have made a good deal of money. 'Iliere is scarcely a newspaper in New York to-day?we mean ' or the great dailies?that is not spending lis income and Its principal. The days of euterprlse have become days of luxury. The real business of journalism has quietly drifted Into the hands of a news reporter who is called a "general agent," and this general i agent, by some mysterious alliance, or obedience or 1 contract, has reduced his office into a bureau of the ] Western Umou Telegraph Company. 'The news columns of the great dallies are very Irequeutly j the expressions or the hopes, the hatreds, the ambitions of tills news reporter and of the business ne- I cesslties of Mr. Orton. The owners pay large divl- j dends. They turn everything into money. They r monopoly has sootlicd tlrem into a condition of protltable acquiescence.

His strength !- leaving html How long will iIns lastr .So long as one newspaper was content to spend large sums ol money to procure news tor .is partners, ttie Associated Press maintained a Kind of ascendancy, we should have thought thai the policy of this partnership would be the encouragement of the newspaper's enterprise. It plainly became a duty for this otner members to compete with this journalist or yielu to his dominion. tub position of the herald in the associated pre88. If the New Yore Herald was permitted to gather news (10m all the world, and print it. or even divide It with its partners, then in time the ottier Journals would become the dependents of the Herald, and the Hebai.d would usurp the functions of the (ieneral Agent. This might nave suited the partnership, but ! It did not suit tbe ageut, and so we had what was ' called the "enlorcement of the rules." The partnership would Dot advance, nor would it permit the Herald to advancer What did the Express, or the Journal of Commerce, or the sun want with special despatches f the evening express. The Express iives by grubbing. It tills the same I position in tbe New York press of a noted character , in Paris whose death was last year's gossip. It is , the king oi the Chiffonier?. It I'.ves along In Its tree, careless, gypsy way, finding a ribbon lu re and an old hat there, and remnants or silk anu lace t shreds and rags anu patches. Any effort to spend money was competition, and it regarded the Herald 4 with as much chagrin as the king of the Chiffoniers e would have looked npon any rival who proposed to give money tor what cost him nothing. the exclusive bknefitthe journal of commerce 1 derives from the associated press. m The Journal of Commerce has no ambition in e news gathering. Us owners'report tbe markets and the arrival of ships, and there slop. The Interest of Mr. btoue is to make his partnership collect the t tnurlrot rpnurtg and ahtn n?va and aruniuuiyn uli other classes of news. This is done by the great dallies They do Mr. StODe's work better ihau he r could afford to do it himself, and as none of them t venture 10 compete with him In printing this news ? he has great cause for gratitude and comtort. THU BUS DAM AO ES ITS PARTNERS BY PEBDUSG THE E SEWS AT HALE PRICK. The Sun merely wants the news despatch. The briefer It is the better. The space Is limited. It cannot afford to lake a page or two of despatches. ' So long as Hie great dailies collect news enough to i make Mr. Dana's paper interesting be ib content. . Ho has no room for "enterprise," and any rule whicn prevents competition puts the great dailies at a his mercy. ?o long as they collect the news and t permit him to sell it at one-half the price, lie will not complain. HOW THE TIMES STANDS fS THE ASSOCIATION a The Timet has so much control over the macnincrv t of the partnership that it can well mTord to submit to the numbler needs of the weaker members.

We have seen a process like this applied e to ishakespearc and Hyron, the classics, and even the t bible. The news is the news?and each day tells us i Biorv. The newspaper only fulfils us function when it prints It.
