Remonstrance " hag now elicited a public pror-laroat.o i of this detestation. On Tuesday the Pope received the homage of a n urn ber of English Catholics, and, in the speech he delivered to them, opened fnv at .once upon the British ex-Pr.vmier. whom he denounced as " u viprr." Some-Gath; lies at home, such as l )r. Manning, attribute the prod ucti on of Mr. Gladstone's pamphlet to the influence of Dr. Dolling,-; but. the Pope, who must know better, blames Prince Biamarek, for he told hi* English visitors that the Liberal ■chief had been tempted to make au assault on the barque of St. Peter, because lie had been weak enough to lot become "intoxicated by the proceedings of another Minister in another State." JS'aturally enough "■ i n this " other State'" the essay has received a very diiferent welcom/.
