The Pope Laments.

New York, Nov. 22.—A Paris paper has an account of an interview granted by the Pope to a large body of persons. One of the number asking how long the oppression of the church would continue, the Pope replied: We should resign ourselves to the will of the Most High, and pray without ceasing for the whole world, for everywhere evil is making fearful progress. In France, impiety is now again lifting its head. In Germany, heresy is making great efforts to oppress the Christian religion, and to establish its own greatness upon its ruins. But what is still more lamentable is that this impious movement is countenanced by the government in Russia, Spain, Switzerland, indeed everywhere. The revolution seeks to drag down society into the abyss of evil.
