 SIR:--I hasten to make known to the government of the United States of America fact of a serious character, and highly interesting to the national dig nity of the country. NGAfllIg

 l. The Bishop of Detroit, Michigan, Mir. Reese, an American citizen, is confined in dungeon of Rome, without communication with any living person, and consequently without the knowledge of the American Minister resident there-a target for the backest calumnies and victim of the most atrocious perse- eution from his colleagues here in religious matters. He was summoned to Rome towards the end of 1858, if am not mistaken, and in lS3S, when made his acquaintance, he was confined in convent, uader an ecclesiastical prosecution On the process being completed, he was ordered to resign. This he refu- sed To do; and then he was thrown into dungeon, perhaps of the Inquistion, where three other Bish- ops were lying. There he is overwhelmed with sui ferngs and tortured, to ob1ige him to resign and all possible measures taken to prevent him from in- roking the protection of the diplomatic agents of his own country. A similar case had happened 10 the Bishop of Philadelphia, Mir. ConwelL But this pre- late while in the same situation Mir. Reese, was fortunate enough make his escape from Rome, and arrested in Paris by order of Charles K. set at liberty through the intervention of the American min ister. 3 ff3 3@fiH|8t4 s4 M " 3

 Thinking that the government of the United States are to look upon their citizens underno religious pect, but merely as free citizens ofths Union, could scarcely believe but that in consequence of this dis closure, ready and eicacious steps will be taken to cause the papal government to be called to account for such scandalous abuse of its spiritual power
