DEFENDERS OF THE PAPACY.

The Turin correspondent of the Osserralore
Rosomw gives some terrible warnings to the Italian
revolutionists and enemies of the Pope's temporal
power.
One of the former triumvin of the Roman repubbe,
Aurelio SeLindh (be says), hie just died at Turin, before
the priest whom he celled had time to °one to his bedside.
Another enemy of the temporal power, Signor Farini, has
been struck with a slow and terrible awes, which leaves
him no repose day or night. Signor Faint, who considered
himseU so happy—who amused such a fortune—reposita in
anaispl✓rimwr—lost his son-in-law at Naples, and maw the
marriage feast converted into funeral mourning. Then,
'track himself by jaundice, he retired to Portici to recover
his health, which has not returned, and now he his in an
almost hopeless condition.
Not being able to find at present more than these
two examples of the Divine vengeance, the writer
goes back awl points out as examples to the
wicked :

filooardi, undermined by a mysterioas disease which
brought him to the tomb ; Comoro, the reporter of the law
for the expulsion of the Jesuits, struck down by apoplexy ;
Biaachi4ovini overooine by • sudden line. ; Sidra, who
died instantaneously ; Omar, Ravine, Anil% (Roberti,
sod • bnodred others.

" True," says the /Vats, commenting on these
remarks :

The Italian revolutionists and enemies of the Pope's tem.
pond power are men, and, being men, they cannot escape
hem the conditions of mortality any more than the de-
kinder. of the Pope. They pay their tribute to the
inStmi-
Yeeef aittur•—to ismadice, apoplexy, and " mysterious"
direems, of which the Italian, like other physician', do
MA bum the cease. This is the undoubted fact ; but the
pleas author of this edifying correspondence, who is so
bliesseoly acquainted with the secrets of Providence,
emilit to have explained by what mystery it bee
happened that the Divine ►nger, before striking
dews Omar, waited till that great sinner had
ehismiacoomplialied hie task—how it comes to pas that ,
Grelbelib, hie stoompliae—the man who effected half of
the evil work, who conquered the kingdom of the Two
Salim, and dethroned Francis 11., has, up to this time,
escaped celestial chastisement. When this shall have been
explained, we may perhaps be converted, and ask forgive.
nes for our opinion' on the temporal power of the Pope.
M. Louis Veuillot, whose name since the sup-
preeaion of the Univers has been rarely before the
world, has just published two duodecimo volumes
on Route, which he fancifully calls " Atrium de
Rome." The person on whom he empties the full
vials of his wrath is Father Paseaglia, of whom he
speaks in the following terms :
But here (be trim) is the real infamous wretch, in
comparison with whom all others seem iIItIOCOO (a. Here is
the monster more formidable than lire, worse than the
pagan and the renegmle. This is the priestly enemy of the
Church—the parricide, the Jades, still wearing the robe of
the Apostle', bin mouth still full of the Divine mystery.
Isfamona wretch! We will not despise you; whatever the
pelts-ince" of your mind, crime is in your heart, and this
crime is too great. May you be aocursed for the crime of
your heart ! May you be weaned of the people you have
scandalised! May you be accursed of the Mouthed Priest-
hood throughout the world! May the mother that has
given you birth curse her womb! May the bishop who or-
dained you emcee his hand ! May you be cursed in Heaven!
Accursed be you, sacrilegious priest, profaner of the altar,
abominable parricide, violater of the most sacredoaths! All
that you have betrayed you have betrayed ten times over.
of you it has been said,—" It bad been good for that
man if he had not been born." If you do not repent, may
God count your stops in the path of evil, and not forget one
of them ; may He accumulate upon you the load and the
infection of the sins which you cause to be committed, and
of those which you may have remitted ! May all the bles-
sings which you have received, and which you have repudi-
ated, torn against you ; miy they fall heavy on you ; may
they crush you like a sacrament of Satan ! May the holy
ointment burn you ; may it burn your hands held out for
the gifts of the impious ; may it burn your forehead round
which the light of the Gospel was to barn beamed—that
forehead which has conceived felon thought. May your
stained robe become a robe of bre, and may God ream
you • single tear to temper its ardour ; and may your
stole be to your neck as tho milletoue to the seek of Ba-
bylon hung into the pool of sulphur !
