"be placed at his disposal, and where he
" could wait till Italy had pronounced in respect
"of his sovereignty." Without depreciating the
benefits which the Pons enjoys under the more
recent policy of France, we may observe that the
English offer was not without its advantages. At
Malta the POPP would have been at least as free
as in the restored Palace at Avignon, both as to his
person and his affairs. He would have been neither
patronized nor worried, nor held in pawn. He
would have been surrounded by a people who had
uo unpleasant recollections of his government and
whose devotion to his person is unbounded. His
residence there amidst a devout and ardent
Catholic population would not have excited jea-
lousies like those which Austria would feel if he
were to go to France, or France if he were to go
to Austria. We need not, however, dwell upon the
merits of an arrangement which is for the present
at any rate suspended. The POPE is willing
that foreign battalions should maintain him at
Rome, and repress the national aspirations of his
countrymen. That is a kind of protection in which
we can neither be the auxiliaries nor the compe-
titors of the French.
