The fanatics can come to some secret plot to burn establishments and churches but the progress of religion will not suffer. They must show no alarm, even for this Valdo. Bruté would like all their papers to have the true priestly character. Valdo, Bromlee, Breckenridge, Bourne, or Smith, etc., what does it matter. Catholic truth versus Protestant error in their true colors as in Bossuet and Fenelon. Bruté wrote often to the editors of the "Jesuits" that this would end badly; this is Father John Elroy's opinion and also that of Father John? Hughes from whom he had a letter yesterday. Breckenridge visited Hughes recently, said he would remove his name from the list of abettors of the Vindicator, etc. He is a man of doubts, like Hobart. A public discussion has been announced, "Whether the Pope is compatible, etc." in which Hughes? and Bromlee are to figure.` A.L.S. French` P.S.
