The Pope of Rome, who seems to profess a great deal of interest in the Irish people, wrote an order sometime ago, commanding all his subjects living in Ireland to desist from any opposition to the British authority, and to submit to the power of the English government, but the down-trodden and liberty loving people of Ireland refused to obey the “infallible” decrees of the Pope.
