The latest dispatches from Roma sav that the college of the holy office waa cnargca to examine aionsignor Pemico's reports, and decide whether Catholics be longing to the National Leasue were guilty of sin and debarred from absolu tion, ihe congregation, the Pope pre siding, replied in the affirmative,' and drew up a plea to that effect Cardinal oimeoni, acting under tne rope s orders, forwarded the decree to Ireland, with special instructions to Monsigoor Pcrsico and the I1UI1 episcopacy, when instruct ing tne ciergy to eniorce thla, to inform inem inoi they must refuse absolution to any one declining to renounce intmber ship in the National Lensue. It ia fur ther stated that neither the league nor its political aims are explkitly'condemned by the holy office, which confines itself to declaring that the methods employed art contrary to the religious duties of Catholics. The Pope approved the de cision without in any way entering into ine political questions pending between England and Ireland. Archbishop uaisa is sua in Home in compli- . . . .. . ance with orders Irom the Vatican, The following is the text of the papal decree: "On several occasions the apos tolic see hns eiven the people or Ireland. whom it has always regarded with special benevolence, suitable admonitions and advice when circumstances reqmrcd, as to how they might defend their rights without injury to Justice or public peace. uur Doir Xather, JLco XIII, fearing lest in tne species ol warfare that has been in troduced among the Irish in contests be tween landlords snd tenants, and which la commonly callid the 'plan of cam paign,' and ia the kind ot social inter dict called 'boycotting,' arising from the same contents, the true sense of justice and charity might be perverted, ordered u aupicure cunfgaiion ui me inquisi tion to subject the matter to a serious and careful examination. Hence tho follow ing was proposed to their eminences, the cardinals of that congregation: 'Is it permissible in disputes iteea landlords and their tenants , in Ireland, to use the means known as the plan of campaign' ana 'boycotting.' After long and mature deliberation, their eminences unanimously answered in the negative, and their deci sioa waa confirmed by the holy father. The justice of this decuion will be readi ly seen by anyone who applies bis mind to consider that the rent agreed oa by ma tual consent, cannot, without violation of contract, be diminished at the mere will or the tenant, especially when there are tribunals appointed for settling such controversies and reducing unjust rente within bounds of equity ; after taking into account tne causes which diminish tne value of the land; neither can it be con sidered penni'iible that rents extorted from tenants and deposited in the bands ol unknown persona, to the detriment ol land owners. Finally, it is contrary to justice and charity to persecute, by social interdict, those who are aatislicd to pay the rents they agreed to ray, or tin we who, in the exercise of their rights take vacant farms. It wilt, therefore, be your lordship a duty, prudently, but effectual If. to advise and exhort the clergy and Uity not to transgress the bounds of Cnnstian Harity and Instiee while they are striving for a remedy lor -their dis tressed condition."
