'who will not be over nice in using" irresistible

arguments to convince him of his duty. The
French Euiperor's position and intentions are,
as usual,- most difficult to understand ; but •we

know his suppleness in backing out of his pro-
grammes, or, at least, in modifying them to suit
circumstances. Nay more, has he not himself
often caused to be brought about the very circum-

stances, the inexorable logic of which he has

subsequently pleaded as his excuse for the non-
fulfilment of his antecedently announced pur-

pose ? That Louls NAPOLEON intends to allow
the Italians to enjoy their proper capital is,
certainly, not impossible. There are many indi-
cations of a change of policy which would seem

to render that concession even very probable.
French editors and pamphleteers are a sort :of
Napoleonic antennae used by the. Imperial insect
as it crawls about Europe to find.out what it can
bite, what it ought to avoid, and where it may
obtain a lodgment Perhaps Louts NAPOLEON.
Wants to get rid of the Pope, consistently- with
his own honour and the integrity of the Papacy
as a spiritual system. But, at the same time, we
do not believe he is prepared to allow Pius_lX. to
take himself away whithersoever he listeth. Come
•of it. ..-What May, his Holiness cannot be alloWed
again to place himself under Austrian. influence or
direction:. Wherever he. is, in Rome or out of it,
we may depend upon it "the eldest. son ,of the
church"' is too fond of the Holy• Father to
_let go
'the firm hold he now possesses: We have always
found that in employing the press to assist him
in finding a solution for any knotty point, the
Imperial spy throws out extreme suggestions,
and ends- by acting upon amodification of them,
regulated more or less by the nature of the
opinions thereby elicited from such quarters
-as he
_considers, -of consequence.. This plan
affords him_ an. opportunity of officially 'disc=
‘
Vowing'ulmost any proposition sUggested when
it may. seem politic to do so; and, at the same
time, in' a great measure, prepares the public
mind for the course which he actually mean,
follow and finally adopts. Some such Jesuitical
process of sounding and changing the ehannel of
public thought seems now being performed with
reference to the settlement of the Roman question
and'the disposal of the Pope.
The Oinstitutionnel opens . the game by. de-
nounCing the proposal that the Pope should fly
froth Rome. This is rather like a joke. We-all
rem,ember when the yicar of Christ upon earth
donned a fiunkey's toggery, and.having mounted
into the servant's seat, got • himself rumbled out
of the reach of his infuriated subjects in an old
coach.' That was a very successful cheat ; but
the French were not his keepers then. They are
-en now ; and we should like to hear of his eluding
the eyes of such vigilant gaolers. " Catch a
weasel asleep."' 'lt will need another miracle,
we :opine,.. to accomplish that feat. No, no,—
there is no fear of the Pope's flight. LOUIS
NAPOLEON will see to that. On the other
hand,. it. is hinted that Louts NAPOLEON
has undertaken to protect. Rome only in so
far ass it the residence of the Pope, and required
for the duties of the Papacy. The presence of the
French in Rome is said to be for religious and not
for political purposes. It is a matter of piety and
spirituality, rather than of territory and temporal
position. If GARIEALDI and the Italians will
insist upon obtaining 'Rome, what is Louis
,NAPO
LEON to do? True, he is powerful enough to
deny them the coveted boon if he ehose. But is
it. notunfindispensable part of LOUIS NAPOLEON'S
game to.: please the Italians ? He remembers
ORSINI'S expiring shouts, and the more recent
Toulon attempt. 'Moreover, the imperial conjuror
hits brought into life a'Spirit he cannot lay at his
pleasure ; and he is in some measure beholden to
a creature of his own creation. Besides, are we to
*suppose that ' Louts NAPOLEON has not ultimate
objects in view the attainment of which he has
Made dependent upon the unification of Italy and
the satisfaction of the Italians ? Are we certain
'that -there is no secret treaty in existence for the
aggrandisement of France, by adding to her
strength in the Mediterranean ? Such a secret
'treaty has been given to the world, and although
it has been denied, and denounced as absurd, are
We sure that, it does not exist after all ? Has
NAPOLEON 111. done so much to pacify Italy,
and placed himself in so critical a pOsition at.
Rome, merely for an" idea ?" Never believe it.
Then, as regards the Pope, what more2does
Louis NAPOLEON care for him than to keep him
out of mischief if the Italians must have
.Rome, if Louts NAPOLEON must have the Pope,
and if the Pope also must be at Rome, the only
:solution of the difficulty must be a compromise.
Why not, as we suggested yesterday, give His
Holiness a free establishment within the seven
but without the municipality? He would
then be what he is now—a petty sovereign—
neither more nor less, while he would
'enjoy still greater facilities for devoting himself
to pieti and to the study of ruins." Kept in
his own corner by the Italians, and well watched
by his French, friends, he would then cease from
oppressing Italy or endangering the peace ' of
Europe. Where else could he exercise his
ipirituar functions with less chanceOf successfUl
state intrigues, or with greater probability of
his being left free from the domination and dicta-
tion of any temporal power ?

to-Edinburgh. In the course of the evening, two well-

no suspicion being attached
