RESEARCHES and DISCOVERIES made during a RESIDENCE of SEVEN YEARS in the LEVANT and in the ISLANDS of MYTILENE and RHODES, and on the COAST of ASIA MINOR, &c. By C. T. NEWTON, Esq., late British Vice-Consul at Mytilene, now Consul at Rome, Student of Christ Church, Oxford. Bvo., with nume rous Engravings and Maps, 21s. is dated the 19th inst.:— V sAVVvvs... " This morning I was at the camp, and saw the English Legion receive its first baptism of fire. I went by rail to Caserta, where I heard the cannon firing near Capua. On arriving at Santa Maria I found all the troops under arms, and the heavy guns unlimbered in front, ready for action. Every where on the road to St. Angelo I saw traces of the great battle of the Ist instant—trees cut down and pierced with shot, and the ground torn up by the , tramp of cavalry and artillery. In company with some officers of the Agamemnon (91 guns), I climbed the lofty bill of Irfata, above St. Angelo, where we found Garibaldi himself and five or six members of his staff. Irfata is the Di.3tator's favourite position for observing the enemy. From the crest of the hill you can look right into Capua, and see Gaeta in the distance ; before you is spread out the whole line of operations down to Caserta and Maddaloni, with the Voltarno winding through the plain. Standing here Garibaldi can see every movement of the enemy. While we were climbing the hill the firing was incessant, and a shell aimed at Garibaldi burst about 60 yards front our feet. We were in hopes of seeing some fight ing, nor were we disappointed. About ten o'clock the Neapolitans in force attacked the position at St. Angelo. They marched before the camps before Capua towards the Garabaldian lines. The English Legion, which reached Naples last Monday, only arrived at the camp at nine o'clock, an hour before the fight began. They marched from Santo Maria to St. Angelo, and at once took up their position on the extreme front to the left, and next to Capua. They were imme diately attacked. The legion, commanded by Colonel Peard (Garibaldi's Englishman), received their enemies with a shout, and drove them back in con fusion under the very walls of Capua. The great difficulty of the officers was to restrain the impetuosity of their men and to keep them back. Foiled in their attempt to break Garibaldi's line, the Neapolitans now commenced shelling their victors, when Colonel Peard withdrew his men under cover. All these operations were anxiously watched by Garibaldi, and soon after Colonel Dow ling arrived and gave the General an account of the fight. He said the men had behaved splendidly. I regret to say that Lieutenant Tucker, the cor respondent of the Illustrated Ttnies or ews, was killed. He only received his commission this morning, and in a few hours afterwards he was a corpse. The Neapolitans left between 50 or 60 killed and wounded on the field, and did not ven ture out again to-day. They had evidently got more than enough of it. I see Mr. Edwin James has been alarming the public with accounts of anarchy, robbery, and I don't know what else besides in Naples. I can only say, from my expe rience, that the anarchy exists only in Mr. James's imagination. The most perfect order reigns in Naples ; life and property were never so secure ; you may go for miles around Naples without a pistol or weapon of any kind ; and as for the roads being infested by brigands, I must say that the most brigandish looking thing I have seen since I came to this city is a portrait of Mr. Edwin James himself in the last number of the Illustrated London News.

The journal first indicated has this morning a tirade on the subject, the only meaning derivable from it bel;.ng • that some occult design to insult and injure Ire -1,1,nd lurks beneath the supposed benevolent in,. t en tions of the Governments referred to. Whetz th e ,- t ,cktement was first made that the British Go vernm,l.rit intended to interfere in the matter, it was pero:nptorily denied by the Yews, and in itg publication: of this day it characterises as " a base lie and an ,impotent trick" an announcement, through the teLegrapb, that the Cork Examiner contained a letter from the Sardinian Consul- General in Lorlei], 3 ,,-Idressed to the father of one of the Irish prisoners, _row in the hands of the Sardinians, stating that b:rra ngements had been made between the Sardinian and British Govern ments that those prisoners sh')uld be sent to Ire land at the joint expense of those Governments. Nevertheless, it is quite a fact that the letter ap- I peared in the Examiner, and I am disposed to believe, notwstlistanding the News, that the Sar dinian Consul has not lied and meant no trick, impotent or otherwise. The letter is as foll6ws : " Sardinian Consulate -General. "London, 31, Old Jewry, Oct. 23. " Sir,—l hasten to inform you that the Sardinian inquiries, Ambassador, in answer t o my nquiries, has replied that arrangements have been made between th e Sardinian and British Govanconts that the Irish prisoners shall be sent to Irelaad at their joint expense, and that they will arrive there very ,shortly. He does not think, therefore, it would be ` N izrth while to send your son any money. 4 ,, I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient sereNelnt (for the Sardinian Consul-General) , " ROBERT A. HEATH, Vice-Consul." The ,examiner also publishes the following special telegram - "Five h tL ndred men of the Irish Brigade arrived in Paris yeste."day on their way home to Ireland, and may reach Cork within 24 hours after the publication of this` announcement.. Those who be lieve that the brigade have maintained the honour of their country by their courage and fidelity should be ready to receive them with every mark of respect. Hospitality and comforts are necessary to their present condition. The local committee, assisted by others, should at once prepare for their honour able reception ; lodgings and clothes are essential in the first instance, and Cork should contribute both at its own cost." " Another death by fire" is a common h e ading by which modern readers are familarised v ,e;th the almost daily holocaust of women and cleildren, sacrificed by the combustibility of their dres and the expansion of their crinoline. The Registrar - General, who accurately:exhibits these integers of suffering and death and displays their incredibfo sum-total, records above three thousand deaths from fire, of which some hundreds might have been averted by the adoption of the simple expedient, which cannot be too preesingly urged upon the female mind, of adopting in the laundry the use of one of those powders which render clothing non inflammable, As we write this, an inquest is being livid at the London Hospital on the body of a child, bur nt alive by her clothes catching light at the household fire ; and we understand that many pa tier's are at this moment living in the metropoli tan hospitals more or less seriously injured by ac cidents ,arising from a simi l a r cause. This is a very serinis evil, and one which cannot be regarded without a regret deepened by the reflecticrn that such accidents' are preventible. The means pro , posed are simple and efficient. We have alreatiy more than once elplained them. In the Queerr's laundry they have . been adopted since the terrify ing accident by which the dress and person of the Princess Royal were scorched by ignition of her sleeve at a candle. Here i s no want, then, of pointed moral and high example, But it is difficult to awaken the mind to the necessity of providing against contingencies which are distant And uncer tain. Until the moment of the catastrophe, nothing seems more unlikely than [that it should oc cur. Nevertheless, all ranks have furnished their quota to the number of victims. Princesses, coun tesses, court ladies, ballet-girls, the decrepid and the young, rich and poor, swell the list, which is thus passed over with indifference, or with a thoughtless shudder that leaves no further trace. The solutions which . are the best hitherto pro duced for the purpose are those of tungstute of soda and sulphate of ammonia. The former is prefer able for woven fabrics, since it allows the iron to pass smoothly, whereas other salts do not.. The able chemists, Messrs. Versmann and Oppeoheim, who introduced these salts, as the result of their investigations, have recently given some plain di- 4 rections in their employn2ent, which in the interests of practical persons we trayseribe:-4"lhe solution which does not become clear must be made with warm water, and should be well stirred. A sheet lof linen is then soaked in it and. dried. The ar ticles of dress or curtains, after bein,g well starched, blued, and rough-dried, are saturated in the solu- tion, then rolled in the above piece of linen, and ironed as usual." The salts are being sold, since we have repeatedly drawn attention to tl;cm, under the title of the " Ladies' Life Preserver ;" but they are simply the substances which we name. The extraordinary losses of life and property very recently occasioned by fire in this city have nattirally suggested the investigation of the appli cability of these salts to the purpose of rendering timber non-inflammable.. This is 'Very possible ; but the use of sulphate of ammonia for this purpose by the best process would cost about ls . 2d. per cubic foot of timber, and this is almost prohibitive of for or eneral use. There are, however, many other s suggested besides the finishing of woven fabrics to which it may be advantageously applied.

About midnight the wind commenced to blow very sharp from the south, gradually increasing to gale from the S.W., accompanied by heavy showers of rain, A slight lull took place about two a.m., and a few minutes afterwards the firmament seemed to open hit the N.W., and immediately thereafter a heavy rumbling noise was heard, like the discharge of artillery in the dis tance. All were at this critical conjuncture in dreadful suspense, but firmly and handily making snug their boats, as they had no alternative, in their exposed situation, but to face the storm, which they knew from the catspaws now rising on the sea was fast approaching. Not many mi nutes afterwards it blew a perfect tornado from the N.N.W., the sea rising mountains high, and the tempest driving along the tiny fleet like so many hinds followed by hounds in full chase. Sonic of them got into shelter and were preserved, others were cast ashore and broken in u P i F e e e _ g _' their crews miraculously escaping wiih their lives ; il .

David Laing, M.A., Rector of St. Olave, London, and also residing at Mornington-road, St. Pancras, had made his will on the 29th of Decem ber, 1857, wherein he appointed his wife the sole executrix, who dxly proved the same in the London Court of Probate on the 18th of the present month. The personal property was sworn under £B,OOO, besides which there are freehold estates. The will is short, and he has left the whole of his property of every description to his wife for her own sole use. He has enumerated in his will some of the testimonials which had been presented to him ; for instance, a gold snuff-box and silver inkstand by the St. Ann's Society, a bronze clock and bronze candelabra by the Governesses Benevolent Institu tion, and a testimonial from the district of Trinity, St. Pancras ; consequently these public tokens of respect devolve to the widow. This excellent and well-known clergyman was 36 years in the church ; he was for some time chaplain of the Middlesex Hospital, incumbent of Trinity Church, Haveretock-hill, and subsequently he became rector of the valuable preferment of St. Olave, Hart-street, London ; this latter living . he only held for the terms of three years ; havinff dma sixtieth years of his age.

The first annual dinnei in connection with the Warrington Mechanics' Institution took place on Saturday evening, when amongst others Lord Stanley and several other members of Parliament were present. After the preliminary toasts had been disposed of, Lord STANLEY rose to give the toast of the even ing, and was very warmly cheered. After some in troductory remarks his lordship said—ln speaking of the position and prospects of popular education in England, and especially in these districts, there are two difficulties to be encountered. In the first place, a speech on educational matters is not usually very attractive either to hear or to read. One reason of that is the very importance which we all feel attaches to the subject. It is not a new thing to anybody, but one on which most of us have thought and read—on which all of us have heard something, whether we wished it or not, and on which members of Parliament, generally speaking, have heard much more than they desired. (Laughter,) Consequently, when people open their newspaper, and see a column beaded " Lord So-and-So on Popular Education," the chances are that nine out of ten of the readers turn the sheet over, remarking perhaps that the editor must be badly off for news. (Laughter.) In the next place, not merely educa tional matters, but all questions of home adminis tration or concern, occupy at this moment in men's minds a comparatively subordinate position. There are before us at this time questions of momentous European interest, of which the next year or two may witness the solution, and it is perfectly natural, and not unreasonable, that people of all classes should be drawn rather to speculate whether Italy can be united, the Turkish empire hold together, or the desolating wars of half a century ago must be repeated in this generation, than to attend much to the humble, homely, commonplace affairs of their county or parish. Now, gentlemen, both these things must be so, and lam not disposed to complain. It is rather an advantage than the contrary, that a subject which to those who are really zealous for the common good presents the deepest interest, should not be one which lends itself most easily to the convenience of those speakers who only wish to make out of it what is called political capital. Also, whatever internal improvements be imperilled or delayed, it is well for the power and influence of England abroad, and even for our safety at home, that the English people —never really in earnest on more than one subject at a time—should have given their minds to military preparations and national defences, with a unity and a determination such as the oldest among us can recollect to have witnessed before, and which leave comparatively little time or thought for matters less pressing at the moment. Perhaps the cause of education does not really lose by being less prominent in men's thoughts than it was a few years ago. We have time to reflect more calmly, ana therefore to judge more fairly upon many points which were formerly involved in con troversy and dispute; and with every year that passes we get a little at least of that practical expe rience, that invaluable teaching of facts, of which I believe most Englishmen agree in thinking that a very little is worth all the speculation and theory ever spun from the ingenious lamina of men. (Hear.) There are one or two conclusions on the subject of education which appear to be universally come to. The first is that on whatever system or principle you establish what are called primary schools— whether set on foot by the landowners individually or by ratepayers as a body, whether assisted by Government or left alone, still we must expect that I a very large proportion of those who attend them, leaving them at the age they do, will acquire nothing beyond the bare rudiments of knowledge— the power to read, write, and cipher. Of course there are many exceptions, but that I believe is the general rule. These schools are not places in which education can be given, they are schools in which opportunities are given to those who attend them — if at a later period of their lives they so please—to educate themselves. That fact being once admitted, I think this consequence follows—that the impor tance which has often been attached to the particu lar system on which schools are conducted is very greatly diminished. Provided you can get the chil dren to attend them, that the masters are compe tent, and the discipline good, I for my own part care little on what system the schools are estab lished, believing' that they do not give education, bat only give the means of acquiring it hereafter ; and the direction which the studies of the man will take is very little determined by the accident of the school he has attended. (Hear, hear.) The other con clusion in - which I think people have come gene rally to agree is, that what we have to complain of in educational matters is not so much the number of children who attend any school at all, inconsi derable as it is when compared with the population as a whole, but rather the irregular attendance of those who do frequent the schools, and the early age at which they leave, with the consequent liabi lity to lose altogether in later years even that small portion of knowledge which may have been ac quired. If you could ascertain—which you cannot —the proportion of young men who can read and write well at the age of 17, and the proportion of these same persons who can read and write well at 30, you would find the falling off between those two ages far greater probably than almost any of us have an idea of, even among those who have at tended closely to the subject. Now, neither the ir regular attendance nor the early leaving can be alto gether remedied, as both are attributable mainly to the desire—natural and honourable in itself, and more prevalent, as I believe, among the working classes of England than in any other country, except perhaps the United States—which every lad has to get his own living as soon as he can, rather than re main a burthen to his parents. We very often com plain of parents taking away their children from school, but I believe in many cases the children have quite as much to do with it as the parents, be cause a lad feels himself more of a man, and has a natural pride on the first day he begins an indepen dent existence, and can carry home the earnings of his own labour. If, then, the time of school attend ance must be short, and the attendance itself irre gular, and if at the same time there exists, as is un doubtedly the case, a very general desire among at least a part of the working classes for the means of further instruction; we are inevitably led to the re quirement of some institution holding to the ordinary school a similar relation to that in which the universities stand to the public schools of England frequented by the higher classes. Hitherto the attempts to supply that want have been many, and their success vari ous and unequal in different parts of the coun try. In some of the great towns, as Liverpool, Man chester, and, I believe, Leeds, mechanics' institutes are really flourishing, and accomplishing the ends for which they were set on foot. It is sometimes . objected that persons frequent them who are of a wealthier class than those for whom they were in tended, Well, so long as working men are not ex cluded, or don't exclude themselves, I see no harm, but rather good, in this mixture of classes, provided it take place naturally, and w ith ou t an y affecta tion. And while the son o f th e mec h an i c i s learn ing it is quite right that the son of the small trades man should not be remaining idle. As a general rule, however, these institutions, while supplying a want throughout the country which is generally felt, and while accompl ishing much good, have un deniably fallen short of original hopes and expec tations. Sometimes the libraries on which they chiefly relied for attraction were scanty or ill-chosen —very often the lectures, being desultory or incon imparting real infor ms e a c u t i t o i n v e : , wersometimese n o t c a pab e politicalof or sectarian feeling crept in, and of course ruined everything; and even where none of these causes operated, the public could have no sufficient guarantee for the efficiency of the teaching in the evening classes. Of late years there have been great efforts at improvement, which I have not time at present to do more than glance at. The principal and most effective has been the associating together of various institutions, with the three-fold avantage of attracting greater notice of and publicity to the union than the small insti tutions could have commanded singly, of obtaining competent teachers to organise and direct local efforts, and—most important of all—of establishing a competition for prizes and certificates, taking in a sufficient area of country and number of candi dates to make it a real and not nominal competition. In East Lancashire and Yorkshire the experiment has been attended with marked success. In Man chester, also, the principle of association has been acted on, though the details are not precisely the same. Another step in advance has been the establishment of local examinations, such as those of the Society of Arts, by which young men more than ordinarily proficient are brought under the notice of employers, and they and their parents enabled to feel that some practical good will come out of the time and trouble they have . bestowed. (Cheers.) It is im possible to say how far these plans may succeed, they have only been tried within the last few years, but whatever may be the result, I am quite sure they promise better than anything otherwise attempted with the same object, which is one that we should do our best to promote. (Hear, hear.) So much, gentlemen, as to the machinery of educa tional institutions. I am not going to waste your time by talking of the pleasures and advantages of knowledge, that is a subject which, however •in teresting, is worn so utterly threadbare that nothing can be said upon it which you have not often heard before ; but one remark may be allowed me, not as from any theories I have heard or read, but from such small extfrience as chalice has thrown in my way. For four years and a half I have acted as chairman of the . Kirkdale quarter sessions. In that time some hundreds of cases have come before me of the kind usually dealt with by inferior tribunals, and nothing has struck me more in the course of their investigation than the utter stupidity—l can use no other word for it—the utter absence of intel ligence and common sense, and utter inability to calculate or comprehend the consequences of what they were doing, which seems to me to mark by far the greater portion of habitual offenders. (Hear.) It is quite the exception, so far as my experience goes, to find any man brought up as an habitual criminal who is not in point of understanding very far below the average of his class. It is equally an exception to find one who is not more or less given to intemperate habits. (Hear, hear.) The intel lectual and moral deficiency appear to go together, and surely from that it is a reasonable inference that the more you can do to increase men's intelligence, and give them other interests and employments, since idle habits are those which lead to drunken habits, the more you will do to lessen the amount of at least the grosser forms of crime in this country; and it is that gross and vulgar form of crime which constitutes nine-tenths of the whole. I don't mean to say that the mere power of reading and writing will make that difference ; what will make the difference is the thoughtful habit of mind, the wider range of interests and ideas, the habit of looking to the past and future as well as the present, and the having some other pleasures besides mere physical excitement—some other ideas besides those suggested by the routine of daily life. (Hear.) Turning now to your local affairs, I may congratulate you on the great exer tions you have made here in the cause of education. I have had the pleasure of seeing your museum and free library, which are supported, I am told, by subscriptions from all classes ; you have also schools abundantly sufficient for the wants of the town, and amply maintained; you have the School of Art, with 170 pupils, and likely, if I may judge from samples, to turn out pupils who will do hon our to this place; and you have two other instita tions=one of them being that on behalf of which I am now speaking—acting together, on somewhat different principles, but in friendly co-operation, and by no means in antagonistic rivalry, to perform a work that is arduous enough to overtax them both. (Cheers.) Like most other establishments of this character, your mechanics' institute has had its ups and downs. The number of subscribers had of late years fallen off, and it had almost ceased to be avail able for working men, when its promoters adopted a measure which had certainly the merit of courage, and which seems to have answered its purpose. The rate of subscription has been reduced to a point at which, I apprehend, it can hardly, in the long run, cover the expenses. As a temporary measure, it is proved that you were right, because the result has been to add 900 members to the previous 400; and you anticipate an ultimate increase to 2,000 or 3,000. The first thing to do is undoubtedly to create an in terest—to show that the institution is living and doing good—and then you may rely on support from various quarters. But when matters settle down a little, and when the crisis is over, I hope that it will be found possibe to place the insti tution, not merely in a condition of prosperity as regards the numbers who attend it, but absolutely and fairly self-supporting. When I say self-Supporting, I mean that it shall be maintained by the subscriptions of those who use it, and not merely by contributions or subsidies, however libe ral, from other quarters. It is a poor story, if working men, fully employed, and for the most part well paid, are not able, in a town like this, to keep up an institution intended for their advantage, and which, by entering it in such numbers, they have shown that they really value. (Hear, hear.) If I know anything of working men in these towns, one of their strongest feelings is an honourable and almost jealous sentiment of independence and self respect, and nothing goes nearer to their hearts than an appeal to them to keep up the honour of their class. I hope, therefore, in a year or two we shall hear that this institution is at length main tained by its own regular subscribers, and does not stand in need of casual donations, however libe rally intended. One thing I must say in praise of those who have had the management. They have been under great temptations, considering the former position of the undertaking, to sacrifice the future to the present, and embarrass themselves by contracting debt. Those temptations they have altogether resisted, and at this moment I am told there is not a shilling of debt upon the institution. (Hear, hear.) Just one thing more, gentlemen, and I have done. Whatever you do, or leave undone, let me entreat you to keep these questions of educa tion from becoming party questions in this town. I have no reason: to suppose that here they have ever been so, or that they are likely to be so ; but I have for some years taken an interest in these matters, and in more than one place I have seen plans that in themselves held out every prospect of success break down simply because their promoters had suffered them to get mixed up with some petty local dispute. In this country, as in every free country, we shall always have political parties, and certainly the tendency at the present day is rather to multiply than diminish the number of religious de nominations. But ignorance is no help to any party or to any sect, it is merely a common danger and com mon enemy ; and if we understand our interest aright we shall all unite, whether conservatives, liberals, churchmen, or otherwise, in the same spirit and with the same energy as we should rally to resist invasion. (Hear, hear.) I beg to propose to you the toast that has been given to me—" Success to Mechanics' Institutions. (Cheers.) The toast was responded to by the Rev. Mr. JACKSON, and Mr. MACKIE, who said he trusted that Lord Stanley, by this visit to Warrington, would be found to have bridged a moral gulf existing there between Lancashire and Cheshire, as one of his ancestors had 300 years ago been the first to bridge the river Mersey at that place. The fact was, that all the rising employers of labour showed a strong desire to escape from Lancashire and become Cheshire squires—(laughter)—and there was the greatest difficulty to get them to attend lectures or meetings like the present, whoever might be the lecturer or chairman. It was earnestly desired that they would not cease to give support to such an institution as this, and although as Lord Stanley urged upon them, it was imperative that the pro moters should make both ends meet for the future, they might ask for assistance at starting, as reason ably as a young couple who began housekeeping— (laughter)—especially when they could point to unmistakeable evidence of having striven to help themselves. (Hear, hear.) Several other toasts were afterwards given and responded to. [ADvmirrisEmENT.]—Holl?way's Ointment and Pills — Cure for Abscesses, Piles, Fistulas, and sores.—The very satisfactory results from the use of this invaluable Oint ment, in cases where patients have been suffering from these complaints, have induced the medical profession to introduce them into the hospitals and their private prac tice ; and, in many instances, where the sufferer was con • sidered incurable, Holloway's Ointment, in conjunction with his Pills, healed the most desperate wounds. They are unequalled for the cure of scrofula and diseases of the skin. In all skin affections incident to children, from the simple red gum to the complicated scorbutic ease, Holloway's Ointment exer*es a remarkably beneficial influence, cooling the inflammation, relieving irritation, and giving case to the impatient little sufferer. LETTER FROM M. DB .111ONTALEMBERT TO M. CA VOCTR._ The number of the Correspona'ant which has just appeared contains the following letter from M. de Montalembert - to M. Cavour ;—; M. Le Comte,—l read in the report of the pro ceedings of the Turin Parliament of the 12th of October these words, spoken by you : " I believe that the solution of the Roman ques tion must be arrived at by the conviction, which will spread more and more in modern society, and even in the great Catholic society, that liberty is highly favourable to the development of the true re ligious sentiment. My feeling is that this will soon triumph. We have already seen it admitted by the most impassiond defenders of Catholic ideas. We have seen an illustrious writer, in a lucid moment, demonstrate it to Europe, in a book which has made great noise, that liberty had been very useful in exalting the religious spirit." I am assured that you intended this allusion for me. If your words implied merely praise, I should'', not permit myself to take them for me ; but they contain also an insult, and my modesty cannot put up with them. You call upon me before the public; you, there fore, give me the right to reply to you in the same manner. Yet Ido so with a repugnance which I can hardly surmount. French blood has been spilt by your orders. Catholic honour has been insulted by your lieutenants. The ancient seat, the last shelter of the common father of the faithful, is menaced by your words. Not one of your acts but wounds and r ks--mo r and now you. strike -a fresh blow on all I love by masking your perverse designs under the veil of a false accord between religion and liberty, and in support of your assertion you invoke my testimony. I owe it to myself to protest that on no point am I with you. Thank God your policy is not mine. You are for great centralised States ; I am for small independent States. You despise local tradi tions in Italy ; I love them everywhere. You are for Italian unity ; I am for federative Italy. You violate treaties and international law; I re spect them because they are between States what contracts and probity are between men. You sacrifice your object, engagements, promises, oaths; I answer you with the noble maxim, "Means which the moral sense reproves, even though they should be materially useful, kill morally. No victory deserves to be put in the balance with the contempt of oneself." You destroy the temporal power of the Sovereign Pontiff; 1 defend him with all the energy of my reason and my affection. You denounce the policy which produced the French expedition to Rome in 1849, and I consider it a glory to have supported it. In spite of the cruel and inexcusable contradictions it has since met with, I am still thankful for it, for it is the last and vacillating consequence of that expedition which even at this day forces France and Piedmont to meet face to face before the Capitol. You give to the heroes of Garibaldi the piaises which I reserve for the mercenaries of the immortal Pi modan. You arc with Cialdini • lam with Lamoriciere. You are with Father Gavazzi ; I am with the Bishops of Orleans, Poitiers, Tours, Nantes—with all those Catholic voices which in the two worlds have protested, and will still protest, against you. Above all I am with Pius IX., who was the first friend of the independence of Italy till the day when that cause passed to the hands of ingratitude, violence, and imposture. On our side, I dare to say it, is conscience. On your side, I believe, it is success. Piedmont dares everything, France permits everything, Italy ac cepts everything, and Europe undergoes everything. Your success, I repeat it, appears to me certain. Two obstacles, however, rise still before you— Rome and Venice ; at Rome is France, at Venice Germany. They are strangers, to. be sure, but they are strong. At Naples the Italians have not ar rested you. At Castelfidardo you were ten against one. You had, without doubt, to overcome rights, treaties, engagements, honour, justice, weakness; but these are abstract things, which cannot resist grape shot. At Rome there are some French bat talions, and at Venice rifled cannon. You disre garded right and passed on, but you hesitate before force. This force, I admit, does not cover causes that are equal. 4 At Venice you support a cause which is just. Venice was odiously betrayed by us in 1797 ; sadly delivered up by you in 1849, unjustly abandoned by you, and by us, in 1859. Her deliverance is just. At Rome you support a cause which is unjust in every point of view, and even, as you well know, in an Italian point of view. We Frenchmen, we Catholics of the entire world, we make a great sacrifice to the independence of the Pontifical Power by accepting that, placed in Italy, it be habitually served by Italian hands. But you, Italians—and you have been told so a hundred times—what would your country be without the Papacy ? What sort of figure would your petty Piedmontese Majesties cut in the centre of Catho licity turned into your Ministerial offices ? Do you imagine that mankind would continue their pilgrimage to the foot of your Sovereigns' thrones ? You have the incomparable glory of possessing the capital of 200,000,000 of souls, and all your ambition is to reduce it to be the chef lieu of the last corner of the kingdoms of the earth. You pretend to conquer Venice by persuading Austria and Europe. We shall see. I sincerely wish you success. It is'thus by persuasion, by the example of her prosperity under the shadow of free institutions, that Piedmont since 1847 should have and might have secured the triumph and the honour of her policy. And it is this which, of all the criminals among whom has to be divided the responsibility of the evil which is worked in Italy, makes you the greatest. For you had all that was necessary to carry out your work well, with the sympathy of honest men in all parts of the world. Neither patriotism, nor eloquence, nor audacity, nor perseverance, nor skill was wanting to you. One thing only you had not, and that was con science, and respect for other men's consciences. You now pretend to resolve the Roman question by proving to the world the benefits of the alliance between liberty and religion. What do you mean ? I have served this alliance for 30 years. I believe its triumph to be indispensable to the salvation of society, and it is for this I combat you, for no policy has ever rendered this triumph more difficult than yours. Your words, which I accept, are absolutely belied by , your acts, which I reprove. I remain more than ever faithful to the convic tion that you have remarked in my writings. All the civil and political liberties which constitute the natural regime of civilised society, far from being injurious to the Church, aid its progress and its glory. It finds rivalry, but at the same time rights, struggles but arms,and those which suit it more than any other, language, association, charity. Liberty, however, is not suited to the Church, except on one condition—that is, that she herself enjoys liberty. I speak here in my name, without mis sion, without authority founded solely on a long experience singularly enlightened by the state of France for the last ten years. But I say without hesitation—a free Church in a free State is my ideal. I add that in modern society the Church cannot be free except where everybody is free. That, in my eyes, is a great blessing and a great progress. In any case it is a fact. Let not any body reproach the Church with not accepting all the liberties granted by the State. In all countries she accepts them, and, what is more, she makes use of them—in England as in the United States, in Prussia as in Holland, everywhere, in a word, where she is not gagged nor impeded by fetters specially invented for her. The accord would be complete if in their turn Governments would accept all the liberties of which the Church has need, instead of cheapening them by obsolete laws as in France, confiscating b them by odious annoyances as in Ru ssia, or in y trampling them under foot by brutal i ni q uity as Italy. all, on the absolute liberty of its chic has had for guardian of the faith, and that libertyte mporal bove its shield during ten centuriesa independently of all States.
