" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

The fearful dangers to invalids iron spurious imitations of DU BARRY's invaluable HEALTH-RESTORING REVA LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and. upon application in 1854 for protection, the High Court of Chancery granted an injunction restraining Alfred Hooper Nevin, and his agents, under a penalty of .£5,000, from selling any article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, of wh ich we are the sole pro pal :tors. Now, therefore, this i give notice that the above reward will be paid, upon convic on, to anyone giving infor maim; of any breach of the injunction.

Loudon: Barry Du Barry & Co. 77, Regent-stroti THE FRENCH PAMPHLET; " TLIB.POPE AND THE CONGRESS." (Rom the Times.) Mr. Bow 3 er has sent us from Rome a long .etter, or rather manifesto, which we publish is another column. Mr. Bowyer is, as our readers know, the avowed representative in the British House of Commons of the Roman Catholic hier archy. He exercises in the Commons, and with greater activity, the same functions' which the Duke of Norfolk discharges in the Lords. Mr. Bowyer and the Duke of Norfolk are, indeed, the only English laymen of any prominence who are identified with the Papal—as distinguished from the Roman Catholic—body in the realm. Mr. Bowyer seems to have been sent for to Rome to advise the Pope and his Cardinals !hiring their present difficulty. He dates from "the Palace of the Order of Malta, at Rome." His paper has been written in conference with the Papal Government, and_ we have urged it as an act of justice to a Go vernment which could riot commit itself to an offi cial answer to an anonymous paper. This appeal loses some of its force when we find that the Pope has himself poured forth `the vials of his wrath against this "opuscule ;" but we are content to ascept the fact that Mr. Bowyer is doing for the Pope what M. Laguerroniere has.done for the Em peror of the French. • We are obliged to state these facts as our excuse for obtruding so long a state ment on our readers ; but, as Mr. Bowyer says, "Time, place, and supposed origin give to this paper an importance undeserved by its arguments." We trust that this answer of the Papal Govern ment to the French Emperor will be universally read in England. So long as no answer was before the world it was not only reasonable, but it was just in any man to doubt whether the case was so bad as all lay Roman Catholic: who' have any value for the rights of themselves and their fellow men more or less silently believed, and as all Protestants loudly declared. The suggestion was arising that wo could not have heard the whole facts of the case. There might be —for what may not be hidden in the Vatican ?- an overwhelming mass of evidence to show that the facts which the civilised world has so long ac cepted as confirmed truths are, in reality, but wicked inventions. The wrongs of the subjects of the Sovereign Pontiff might, after all, be but ima ginary. The massacres of Perugia might be but a fable. The discontent of the Romans might be exaggerated, or without reason. M. About might have been but a calumniator, and Cardinal Anto nelli a saint. Furtive baptism, and, "by inexo rable sequence of facts," subsequent kidnapping, of Jew boys might be capable of denial. The Papal army might be composed entirely of loyal native Italians, and not a congregation of cutthroats gathered from the refuse of the populations of Switzerland and Austria. The lay citizens of the Papal States might have a career of honour and emulation before them, and not be cramped and confined within the subterranean passages of so ciety, while every upper road to honour and im portance was held jealously barred to all but eccle siastics. All this might be—by a species of mi racle, it must be owned—and yet Europe might not know it. So far as England and the policy of Eng land are concerned this, whether this be so or be not so, was the whole matter. We have nothing to do with the Pope • we have only to d o w ith the Sovereign of the Roman States. If that Sovereign is a good King, if his people are happy under his sway, if life and liberty are secure in his domi nions, we English need have no desire to see him disturbed. But, if the contrary of all this should be true ; if our common feelings of huma nity are outraged by the cries of women and chil dren murdered in hot blood by hireling foreign sol diers ; if tales of pillage pass frequently through Europe; if such deeds as those of Perugia are avowed and publicly rewarded ; if the rights of fathers to their children are denied ; if family af fections are set at nought by a governing class systematically educated not to know what family affections may mean ; if the people, goaded by in tolerable oppression, are in open insurrection ; and if the capital can only be kept down by a foreign army, then we say that England, although she does not arrogate to herself the office of an active redresser of all wrongs, will Wes: any hand that may be stretched forth to restrain such a scan dal to humanity, and such a satire upon religion. How is this, Mr. Bowyer? Which of these two views is that we ought to accept as historical truth ? Alas ! we look in vain throughout this manifesto for one fact, one tittle of proof, to help us in our en deavour to disbelieve in all that About has asserted and in all that Perugia has shrieked. The Roman Government denies nothing, explains nothing, pal liates nothing, regrets nothing. With a simple in solence which is a childish anachronism in 1860, the Pope starts with the assumption that his Go vernment is, and has been, the practical perfection of all government. He asks indignantly why it is inconsistent with the character of a Pontiff to punish the " guilty," and to administer " justice tempered with mercy." He declares emphatically that " the Government of the Holy See persecutes no one, and protects all in the enjoyment of their civil rights." Ho scouts the idea of "human inte rests and social wants" as vague generalities, but he suggests that he is " a Prince exercising his regal power in the practice of every Christian vir tue, and according to the spirit and precepts of the Gospel." This is what is called a penile principii. If half of it were true there would be an end of the question. These phrases, however, suggest nothing to the reader's mind except astonishment and hope lessness—astonishment at the boldness with which all the public facts of modern days can be quietly denied by a Government which is more than any other bound.to accuracy of assertion, and hopeless ness of any sovereignty which can thus impudently speculate upon the blindness of all mankind. As the eye ranges down those columns which the manifesto occupies, there is scarcely a. phrase which does not occur to the reader as an invita tion to join with the Roman Government in be lieving the exact contrary of all the best known facts of history. " The dogmas of the Church we are, for instance, told, "are not opposed to the progress of science, industry, civilisation, and social improvement. On the contrary, the Catholic Church has greatly favoured and encou raged them." Again we read, that "if the Ponti fical forces marched on Bologna there would be an immediate return of the Legations to their allegi ance. But," it is added, with a simplicity which may be either childish innocence or vacant folly, " the revolutionary army commanded by PiednAon tese officers, and supported by Piedmont, prevents the Pope from relieving his subjects from the des potism under which thy suffer." Probably this is the paragraph of this manifesto which Europe will have the least difficulty in believing. If the Ponti fical forces marched on Bologna, and there were no Italian army there to meet them, the Pope would certainly recover the Legations. We may . believe, also, that there is some small minority in these provinces who are attached to the old system. There must, indeed, be several classes of trades which depended entirely upon the clerical magnates now expelled. But beyond these two assertions we can not point out any proposition in this long paper to which an educated man of any creed may accord his honest belief. Haying thus " proved his case," the Roman Government winds up with a command and a promise :—" Let the Congress assert and enforce the undoubted rights of the Holy See. When this is done the Government of the Holy Father will no doubt resume its authority with that mildness and clemency which belong both to the Holy See and the reigning Pontiff." Such has been the answer of the Roman Government to the pamphlet which has united the educated classes of every country in approval of the moderate and humane policy which it marked out. Mr. Bowyer, as an Englishman well versed in our public affairs, cannot be ignorant of the effects which such an answer must produce in this country, and we con dole with him upon not being allowed to put his name to a more satisfactory paper. The following is the letter alluded to above: TO THE EDITOR OF TII3 TIMES. Sir,—Time, place, and supposed origin give to this pam phlet an importance which demands an answer, undeserved by its views, arguments, and morality. Commencing by lay ing down the undeniable principle that the temporal power of the Pope is necessary for the exercise of his spiritual power, the writer proceeds to propose the destruction of everything that is indispensable for the very existence of that temporal power. There is scarcely a paragraph in the whole work that is not refuted by some part of tke re mainder. And with expressions of attachment to the Churoh and to the Holy See, she directly or indirectly sanctions every calumny that has been levelled against it, and by the most specious pretences supports all the hopes and plane of -~ 1H • -- ttoa ' 4 , 41- . • d .-4Z9 ; ci s \ . 4 „,. , ' - • • . 1. ill -7' - 1 ; • 9.) ) • et!'' - 3 1 /,` t. vc r -77.4,1 • '. lo ' . „, t'r I )11 03 i t -1 )/ j rP - 7 ., _210:14 - A s i ": / /I:'4 -••-• • ) .210° THE SUN, LONDON, FIIIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13, 1860. its enemies. Whether the policy of -England ought to en- courage or sanct ion, these schemes of supremacy ever Europe which are plainly visible in the whole scope and spirit of this insidious, publication, I will not now stop to inquire, though it is matter of the gravest importance. I will ad dress myself only to the nuestion as proposed and discussed by the writer. , In the second paragraph ho lays it down and argues the' the I'opo must, for ieligipgs purposes,. bo a temporal Sove reign, and that the temporal power of the Pope is necessary for his spiritual power. • And this, he truly says, is essen tial not only for France and Austria, but also for England, Russia, and Prussia. ' • He then proposes the.questiou, How can the Popo be at the same. time Pontiff and King ? It seems to him that justice which punishes the guilty is destructive of the mercy of the Gospel, and that the Head of the Church, who condemns' false religion, cannot tolerate dogmatic error. Has he never heard that it,is God himself who has given the sword to human Governments to punish evil-doers ? And will he deny the mercy of God becausb God not only per mits but commands that the guilty shall suffer punishment ? (an Gist, who is the author of the Gospel, command any thing inconsistent with its precepts ? Where, then, is the conflict between the Pofitiff who teaches the Gaipel and the Prince who administers justice tempered with mercy? In both characters he exercises power derived from the same Divine authority, and justice is no more inconsistent with mercy in God's minister than it is in God himself. And why should , it be impossible for the Head of the Church to tolerate error while he endeavours to combat and dispel it by means in accordance with the Christian religion P The vvtiter cannot expect the Popo to encoUrrige religiouserror, nor to sanction its diffusion among his subjects. But the Govern ment of the Holy See persecutes no one, and protects all in the enjoyment of their civil rights. The problem, then, which this speci ms writer proposes for solution does not exist. Nothing in the character of a good King is inconsis tent with that of the Head of the Catholic. Church. It would, indeed, be impossible to describe the ideal of a Christian Prince' others:die than as ri person exercising his regal power ii the practice of every Christian virtue, and according to the precepts-and spirit of the Gospel. Where, then, is the difficulty of the supposed problem ? The writer, instead of dealing in vague generalities about " human in terests hnd - social wants," ought to have clearly pointed to seine essential duty incumbent on a King which the Sove reign Pontiff is .precluded by his religious character and office from performing. He has certainly pointed out no lush disqualification. But, having asserted the existence of the problem, he pro ceeds to solve it in his own fashion, aid to serve his own purpoSe. " The power of the Pope," he says, " can only be a paternal power; it must resemble rather a family than a State. Thus not only it is not necessary that his territory should be very extensive, but we believe it is essential that that torritority should he very small. The smaller the ter ritory, the greater the Sovereign will be." The naivete of this passage is truly 'amusing. Can any one fail to see its true spirit ? Machiavelli says that a certain class of persons, who shall be nameless, fall into the error of supposing that the rest of mankind are fools. And the concluding- sentence reminds one of the well-known lines— " My' wound is great because it is so small. " Then it were greater:vsere it none at all." The writer goes on to say that a large State implies cer tain exigencies which it is impossible for the Pope to satisfy. He enumerates them in phrases which may mean a great deal or very little, but to which it is extremely difficult to attach any definite signification. They are " political life," " the bringing institutions to perfection," " participation in the general movement of ideas," " to benefit by the trans formations of the times the conquests of science and the progress of the human mind." How far the present Govern ment of France satisfies these exigencies, taken in the full sense of the words, might be a curious subject of inquiry. But the writer asserts that these things could not exist under the Government of the Pope, because the laws of the country would be chained by dogmas, and its activity para lysed by traditions. What does this mean ? The dogmas of the Church are, no doubt, opposed to a restless desire for change, inordinate pride, ambition, and covetousness. But they are not opposed to the progress of science; industry, civilisation, and social improvement. On the contrary, the Christian religion and the Catholic Church have greatly favoured and encouraged them. It is difficult to grapple with vague common• places and platitudes, such as " the movement_of ideas," "the transformations of the times," and " the progress of, the human mind," Lie. ; but undoubt edly there is nothing in these things, rightly understood, in consistent with tho doctrines and traditions of the Church, and they might all exist under the Government of the Sovereign Pontiff. Bat, assuming that these inconve niences would arise if the Pope were the Sovereign of a great State, what effect would th a t p ro p os itio n h ave on t h e matter in hand ? Aro the dominions of the Holy Sot, in cluding the Legations, a great State P Undoubtedly not. The population of the Roman States does not exceed 'that of London and the suburbs. They aro undoubtedly one of the smallest States in Europe. But the author of the pamphlet, after assuming that th e P ope ' s little kingdom is subject to the supposed exigencies of a l argo State, concedes that, as the Pope cannot *satisfy them, foreign occupation 1 becomes inevitable. To this last point I may on some future occasion return. I will only say here that s if foreign occupation be necessary, it is certainly not because the Roman State is a great State. The writer thus proceeds to sum up his arpruent:— " Aiusi done le pouvoir_temporel du Pape : vat uecessaire et mail it est incompatible avec un kat de quelque stondue."- These last words aro remarkable. The Pope must ben Sovereign, but his State must not be of some extent. He clearly means that the Pope's State should be of no extent at all And then he goes on to say, "II doit vivre sans armee, sans representation legislatif, et, pour ainsi dire, sans code et sans justice." It would. be difficult' t) treat such a proposal seriously, if it did not excite indigna tion as a most audacious attempt to mystify and dupe the public. The proposal is that whereas "it is necessary in a religious point of view that the Pope should be Sovereign" (p. 7), and as the temporal power of the Pope is necessary for the exercise of his spiritual power" (p. 6), he is to be re stricted to a state which is not to be " of some extent" ("ds quelque etendue"), and which is not to have any ono of those attributes which are absolutely and essentially necessary to constitute a sovereign state. The intended State is to have no one of the three branches of the sovereign power—no legislative, no executive, and no judicial power. To call the Pops a sovereign under suc h c i rcumstances wou ld b e a most impudent mockery. His Holiness would be reduced to the condition of one of the native deposed princes in India. And, to complete this monstrous piece of spoliation and usurpation, the pamphlet proposes that he should be " pro tected by a federal army." No one can doubt that in such an army the Piedmontese and revolutionary element would greatly preponderate. The Supreme Head of the Catholic Church would be a prisoner in tho Vatican. And all this is brought forward and proposed with the most specious and hypocritical professions of veneration for the sacred office and person of the Holy Father. This proposal, if carried into effect, would no doubt give a preponderating power to France. Would it be for the interest of England f If Eng land sanctions or fails to oppose it, what will be the effect in Ireland, where the violation of the rights of the Holy See will be looked upon with the bitterest and most burning in dignation ?, This pamphlet is indeed an outrage and an in jury to every Roman Catholic in the United Kingdom. It proposes to place the Head of the Catholic Church in the hands of France and her humble ally, Sardinia, depriving him of all those things which it acknowledges to be neces sary for the due performance of his august and sacred duties The financial part of this monstrous scheme is worthy of the rest. It is proposed that the Holy See shall be main tained by an annuity from the Catholic Sovereigns of Europe. What would be the consequence ? If at any time the Holy Father did not concur in the wishes of one of these Sovereigns, or in any way gave him umbrage, the Huly See would be depriveikof a part of the means of exis tence. The Head of the Church would not have as much independence as any ordinary bishop, who is not a pen sioner, but a proprietor subsisting on his own property. The Supreme Pontiff might, indeed, envy the independence of the country parson, who at least lives on his own free hold under the security of the laws of property. I come now to the part of the pamphlet which regards the Legations. Stripped of all verbiage and commonplace, it means this :—That whereas France by invading Tuscany has revolutionised the Duchies, already prepared by the ambitious intrigues of her ally Sardinia, and the revolution has extended to the Legations ; and whereas the revolu tionary faction in the Legations has for a few months main tained its power and kept down the massof the people, who are not rebels against their Sovereig n, therefore the Pope is to be robbed of the be s t pa r t o f his dominions, to which he is lawfully entitled under the most solemn treaties and by most ancient possession. If this proposal were car ried into execution, the public law of Europe would bo subverted and every throne shaken to its foundation. I say advisedly that the pretended Government in Romagna exists contrary to the wishee of the mass of the popula tion and by means of the most arbitrary measures; the people are not allowed to read, to write, nor to speak any thing contrary to the wi s hes of the reigning faction and secret societies. The pretended Parliament of Romagna does not represent more than 1-60th of the popula tion. The number of voters is only 1,800, and not even one-third of that number could be induced by force, fear, and corruption, to concur in the elections. The taxes are anticipated and the treasury plundered. If the Pontifical forces marched on Bologna, there would bo an imme diate return of the Legations to their allegiance. But the revolutionary army, commanded by Piedmonteso officers and supported by Piedmont, prevents the Popo from reliev ing his subjects from the despotism under which they suffer. Notwithstanding the rigorous measures of the Provisional Government to intercept communications, frequent and re peated appeals for protection aro brought to the feet of the Holy Father. But his Holiness has not en army sufficient to keep the revolutionary forces in the Duchies in chock and at the same time to protect his faithful subjects in Romagna, and thus enable them to recover their freedom of action. And yet, in the face of this state of things, the pamphlet asserts that the separation of Romagna from the Papal Crown is an accomplished fact. If this be so, if on such grounds as these the Pope is to be robbed of his provinces, contrary to every principle of public law and the faith of the most solemn treaties, then all lawful government is utterly insecure, and the rights of Sovereign Powers must depend on the mere temporary and precarious fluctuations of revo lutionary changes, the machinations of secret societies, the will of demagogues and their tools, and the intrigues of am bitious and unprincipled politicians. I will not now say anything of the means by which the revolutions in Central Italy were brought about, except that they inv o l ve d doc trines subversiv e o f a ll th e principles by which human so • ciety is kept together ; but I assert, without fear of contra diction, that if the existence of a few months of aprovisional Government in a revolted province be held to be a sufficient ground to despoil the lawful Sovereign of his rights, then the laws on which kingdoms and republics and all other politics are founded must be shattered and subverted. Among the flimsy pretences for the unprincipled proposal to rob the Pope of his territories the writer of the pamphlet brings forward the difficulty of the question—how is the Pontifical authority to be restored in Romagna ? But he answers tho question himself by referring to the European Congress. (Sect. xi.) That is the proper tribunal to as sert, not, indeed, the lawfulness of usurpation and robbery, but the sacredness of treaties, and the maintenance of those laws on which the existence of sovereign rights and the peace of mankind are founded, and without which political society cannot exist and the European commu city of nations must fall into confusion and constant bloodshed. Let the Congress assort and enforce the undoubted rights of the Holy See. When this is done the Government of the Holy Father will no doubt resume its authority with that mild ness and clemency which belong both • to the Holy See and to the reigning Pontiff, and make every effort for the good PEA; STRACHAN and CO.'s Strong rough " Domestic" Black at 3s. 2d. per Comilla, Lon don.

There is, in deed, no unwillingness at Rome to adopt improvement, and much has been done, and is being done, to improve the public adtnini•tration. But internal measures must pro ceed from the wisdom of the Holy Father, and not from the dictation of foreign Powers; otherwise tho sovereignty of the Pope would be compromised, and the dignity necessary for every Governmant could not be maintained. There, is another point, - still more essential in my opinion. It is this —the Pope can renounce none of his temporal rights ' • they are the inalienabl e i n h er it ance o f th e Roman Catholic Church, and in them every Roman Catholic in the . world has a vested interest. Here, at least, is one point on which the Holy Father might adopt the words of the pamphlet— "On salt Lien quo Hen n'oblige un Pape a c,lder, et &est des-ant is force la plus redoubtable quo sa faiblesso est sun tAnt invincible, quarnd elle a pour elle l'egide du bon droit." The Holy Father has indeed for protection the regis of right. Relying on Divine PoWer, which has never forsaken the See of. Peter, he can appeal fearlessly to Catholic Europe against spoliation and injustice;. and he can appeal to Pro testant as well as to Catholic Princes and Governments, for all are virtually interested in maintaining the sovereignty of the Papacy, which is necessary for its independence, and to all it is equallynecessary to repudiate doctrines and pro posals subversive of the rights and Security of all Sovo reigns and their dotniaions.—l - remain, air, your obedi en t servant, .GEon.or Bow BR, Palace of the Order of Malta, Rome, Jan. 4. . NAPOLEON AND TIIE POPE. Our well-informed Paris correspondent, writing on Wedneschey evening, says :—" The Emperor's letter to the Pope has been most favourrbly re ceived by the public of Paris. I doubt whether he ever did a more popular thing than to make it public, together , with the Pope's grossly insulting attack upon him." This is not by any means sur prising. If the pamphlet was welcomed simply because it announced a liberal Italian policy sup. posed to be favoured in high quarters, th e Em peror's letter, reiterating in measured but de cisive language the same policy, would, of course, be received with still greater enthusiasm. This feeling is 'all the stronger from the State of uncertainty in' which the ultimate fate of the Romagna has been involved. It seemed not improbable that a strong effort would be made to reduce again the revolted subjects of the Pope to the feeble and cruel rule from which they had escaped. Such a result would, in fact, have stultified the whole Italian campaign, as most liberal and intelligent Frenchmen keenly felt. They naturally therefore regarded the rumoured Congress with suspicion, fearing that diplomatic intrigue might, in part at least, destroy what French valour had gained for the Italians. That doubt is now finally dispelled. The Emperor has at length decided that the Legations must retain their newly-acquired freedom ; and he intimates this decision to the Holy Father by recommending him " to sacrifice the revolted provinces." If the now celebrated letter, conveying this pointed suggestion, is peculiarly welcome at Paris, it will be still more cordially received in this country. As a whole it is perhaps the best we have ever received from the same Imperird pen. It takes a liberal, statesmanlike, and we may add, tho roughly English view of the whole question. It is the more interesting too as it shows the steps by which the writer has arrived at his present more enlarged and liberal Mime of Italian policy. He has been strongly influenced by the "inexorable logic of facts." We see no reason to doubt this stateinext. It explains and interprets much that has been ambiguous and vacillating in the Empe ror's conduct. When he entered Italy in the spring, ho probably had no intention whatever of coming into callision with the Pope. In the nature of things, however, this was inevitable. The temporal power of the Holy Father is so dependent on the misery and degradation not only of his own subjects, but of the whole nation, that it is almost impossible to help or serve the Italians in any way without injuri ng th e P ope. The Emperor of the French soon discovered this ; and anxious to spare the Sovereign Pontiff as much as possible, hastily concluded the peace of Villa franca. Here, however, the Emperor's perplexi ties, in his double character of friend of Italy and " Eldest Son of the Church," really began. The difficulties of the war were as nothing compared with the difficulties created by the peace. To solve them successfully was perhaps impossible. But to attempt a primal solution in a serious spirit, and arrival at a real, if only provisional settlement, would be undeniable proof of statesmanship. The Emperor of the French must certainly have the credit of having done this, and all the more so as it is peculiarly his own act. His Ministers were almost unanimous in urging hint to adopt the old, exploded, hopeless policy of dynastic interests. So far from having any independent or original view to offer, they simply repeated, in servile phrase, the most vulgar traditions of despotic diplomacy. The specific of hereditary claims established by foreign arms had been tried over and over agatn, and always failed. That would not do. Still the Em peror was not prepared to accept the antagonistic principle of the national will—not in the States of the Church, at all events. He had a scheme e ti nr e or s ' e '—which o o f f i t n h t o e r a e l ig o r t e i f o o o r s m — oo ‘ d ‘ o th r e a ad l n a i y inis g t o r N a , he believes would have induced the revolted pro vinces to return to their allegiance. " Unhappily," this plan was not adopted, and the Emperor found himself ." helpless to arrest the establishment of the new regime." What is to be done now ? That.is the problem which the "Eldest Son of the Church" has to solve. The Head of the Church does not much help him towards its solution. He prays for armed redress, piously urging the inter vention of French bayonets to destroy the newly established order and good government of the Ro magna, and re-impose the cruel yoke of Rome. Th e "Eldest Son" sees c l ear l y the mischief and folly of granting the Holy Father's prayer. "If that sub mission were obtained by the aid of foreign troops, it would necessitate another long-continued mili tary occupation of the Legations. Such an occu pation would awaken the hatreds and the animosi ties of a great portion of the Italian people, as well as the jealousy of the great Powers; it would, in fact, perpetuate a state of irritation, of uneasiness, and of fear." This would obviously be no settle ment whatever. It would be the old story over again —a permanent dagger on one side, a perma nent scaffold on the other. This " settlement" has made Italy the thei tre of violence, revolution, and blood—has been a source of perpetual distur:iance to Europe for fifty years past. It cannot last for ever. " What then is to be done ?" The Emperor, after a serious examination of the difficulties and dangers which beset 'the various solutions pre sented, replies, that "it is most in accordance with the true interests of the Holy See to make a sacri fice of the revolted provinces. " This decision appears simple and easy enough to us. But we must remember that a devoted Emperor may find great difficulties in a course of action which appears to us perfectly plain. The Emperor knows that his decision is a "painful" one, and he communicates it to the Holy Father with " sincere regret." The fact is, it required some courage to take this just and sensible view of the case, and the Emperor has been a long time in making up his mind. However arrived at, the policy now adopted and announced in the letter to the Holy Father is a liberal one, and as such will be heartily welcomed here. The Emperor clearly recognises the right of the people to enjoy self-government as superior to the hereditary claims of the Church. He has all possible respect and affection for the Holy Father, but he has also some regard for the peace of Europe and the welfare of Italy. He is a Catholic Emperor, but in spite cf his devotion to the Holy See, he un dertook the Italian campaign, and feels that he is in a manner responsible for its results. The best of the results, in our view, is the decisive course which the Emperor has at last adopted with regard to the temporal power of the Pope. Alternately flattered and menaced by the partisans of the Pope at home and abroad, he has at length frankly sacrificed tho arrogant pretensions of the Church to the in exorable logic of events—in other words, to the claims of international justice. He has lost some thing, uo doubt—the support of the priests, the sympathy of the Ultramontane press—perhaps, also, the benediction of the Holy Father. But he has gained something too—the lasting gratitude of the Italian States, the sympathy and admiration not only of his own subjects, but of every free people. In throwing over the priests in favour of the people, he has, indeed, simply abandoned what an ancient Catholic calls a " principle of decay" for one of life and progress. We `hall not like this new policy of the Emperor on the Italian question any the less because it hap pens to be our own—the policy which the English Government, the English press, and the English people, have universally adopted and firmly main tained. On the contrary, such an agreement on the most momentous question of foreign policy must tend to bring tho governments and people of the two countries more closely together. If the alliance has been weakened during the horrors of the war and the perplexities of the peace, this proposed set tlement must help to strengthen it. Such a result is to be hailed with the sincerest satisfaction. In dependent alliance with France—always our true interest when it can b e attained by honourable means—is now offered in connexion with the noble artd liberal policy we have long advocated.—Daily New. r ~,. // N sF , .1 4 \TER , k? _ • The launch of the Espoir gun vessel is to 'take place on Saturday, at 5 o'clock, at Pembroke Dock yard.
