"iinemprii JULY 17. lifter bavi peare..hly home the humiliation of imprisonment; and seeing Clete iusults, nese contempts, these vi o l a ti ons , i r _ crease with every hour, hi., iloliness found it necessary, thougi. with the, deepest regret, to Jeff rmine on the recall of his Leg te. in order to overthrow at least, in the f;:ce of the world, th. false and scandalous iyinion that whatever might occur, eve!. the 1110b1 Rica , t wrongs, would recei% c : i. tacit consent. " In this very recal, the precise pet iod ..f which could no. have 'teen anticipated by his llol'acz,s, he professed, along will: those constant atfectiocate regisds w Web he entertained for ilk blajestv , that could he but coast at to the demand of the evitem, Lion of IL t ttne, allot be satisfied with those concessions w hich compatiole with the duties of his 'fullness, the Legate migo: continue, in conformity with his instructions, to exercise 11.- functioni. But his Majesty proved inflexible, and instead o stitediag a single step, preicied the discontinuance of the Lega tion. and t',e deparcire of Piiiiiifical Representative. " I is cot. thelefore, his lloliiiess, who by this hypothetica: recall of his ',rote, hos declared war ak,ainst the Emperor; it is the E nperor who chooses to declare war ttatinst his Holiness i aid it content to declare war against his temporal Sovereignty, Ire threatens to ...:e tit his spiritual, a wall of division between the Catholi , b of France and the Sovereign Pontiff, in the assur an...e,..ccording to Champagny's Note, that the Ca:dittal Legate hating 6 iven up bis functions, the Gallivan Church resumes its docirine in all as integrity. " His Wiliness has too good an opinion of the illustrious Cler„y of trance to doubt that the GaMean Church, however je,:luu. of its prerogatives, is vet so attached to the chair of St. P.•ter, that it will maintain itself unshaken in its true principles, v% 11;plit asserting rights which it does not and cannot possess; nor become schismatic, by separating itself from the Catholic Unity. It is not then—the repetition is important--it is not his lioess who seeks the rupture. A pacific Prince, notwith stamling he was obliged to witness the spoilation, in defiance of all right, of his states of Benevento and Poole Corvo; not withstanding his ettormuus expellee of maintaining French troops; notwithstanding the usurpation of his capital, the usurpation of almost all his sovereign riglos ; notwitliStatolio&, the violent dismissal of so many spiritual persons, composing hi• 1101 y Senate; and notwithstanding all the other acts, by which Ids dignity has been drgraded, all that his Holioess did, was to ettitunand his people, when the French army entered Rome, to thew it respect; ill that his Holiness did was to receive it in the most hospitable manner, and implore of his Majesty, in the mean lime, relief from so inauy aggravated evils; and all that his Holiness now does in this extremity is, to mourn between the vestibule and the altar, invoking the pity of Heaven upon his people, and that by a return to better counsels, the most potent Emperor Napoleon will not sutler the inheritance of the ROIllan . : , See, given by Providence to the head of the Catholic Church in full enjoy ment, to be lost and rooted out. " Thus hat his Holiness made war . Thus has he conducted himself to the present hour towards his Majesty, however die-. 1 tressing and unfortunate has been the result. Still his Holiness will cheris:l the hope that ltis Majesty, rejectiug the counsels of the enemies of the Holy See, who have lusd recourse twevery art to change his disposition, will tevert to their former friendl:, correspondence, and be satisfied with the concessious made in the note of the VS.!) Jaiivary. If, by the hidden purposes of the lot High, this should not take place. and his Majesty. regard- less of his own glory, and deaf to the calls of justice, should pal his threats in execution. and take possessiou of the States of the Church by right of conquest, overturning the Government in consequence, his Holiness will be unable to remedy such fatal Occurrences, but he solemnly declares, that the first w ill not he a conquest, as his Holiness is in peace with all the world, but will be an usurpation more violent than history can furnish ; and the second will not be the result of conquest, but that m' usurpation. Ile declares, at the same time, that it w ill not by the work of political genius and illumination, but as awfiii visitation of that God from whom all Sovereignty is derived, owl especially that given, to the Head of the Church. " Bowing, in that event, with profound adoration to the de-. trees of Heaven, his Holiness will find consolation in reflecting, that the Creator and Redeemer willed these things, and that all concurs to accomplish his purposes when his appointed time 1 nis is the answer which the Undersigned is commanded by his H oliness to give t o the N o t e o f XL Chainpagny, and to com municate to your Excellency. " CaNDINIL GJAKIIILLI," TILE NATIONAL REGISTER. PROVI N CiALS. 455 BRIGHTON, JULY 9.—Our races are at length fixed; there will be four days spurt as usual, beginning on Tuesday the Yd of August; and if we may judge frum the number of ao: •:•s entered, there will in all probability, be more sport than has been for some years past. A NEW moon or POUNDING PIGS.—The following, is given as a specimen of a pig fauciei : A small grunter, the pro perty of a publican in Manchester, on one , f the hie race days, •traved near one of the sacred edifices, a church; the se% t•o l , 00 , loubt with the purest intention, though without warran: or minims, lodged the profane trespasser a prisoner in the cnia. is teeple, till a more convenient opportunity. when he might ►e move him by hubeaseurpus. As the swinish multitude (accord's; t • Mr. Burke) are a little tenacious of their liberty, so it hap pened in this instance : the poor prisoner not only made a lusty oatcry, but thrust his anti-mosaic carcase through one of the ..rifices of the belfry, and, like thousands of the world fell a sa .tice to his struggles for freedom, fatally tumbling upon some iron spikes beneath. fl EAIA aa n Cirteum ST t NCR .—There is at present at a farm-hou s e in the neighboirlood of Dumfries, a turs.ey hen, that has brought up for these two months past. twelve young powts, and is now sitting upon some eggs for the purpose of bringing out a new brood; but what is remarkable, the turkey cock has taken charge of the first brood, which he covers with his wings at intervals in the day and during the night, with the ;realest care and attention. A curious circumstance occurred one day last week at Chili ley, near Lewes. A crow Flavin settled at the brink of a pond, near the garden of Mr. Kemp, shop-keeper, of that place, got entangled, as he supposed by an eel, when Mr. K. kook his gun and shot at them; upon takiug up the crow, he found he had also killed a snake . of IS inches in length, which had wound itself round the crow, and was in the act of devils'. lug it at the time.
