THE POPE AND HIS TROUBLES.

The following is the text of the reply made by
the Pope to the congratulatory address delivered by
Cardinal 3lattei, on the occasion of the anniversary
of the Pontiff's accession :
The crown which the Lord has deigned to place on the
bead of the most humble of his savants has become
the object of the plots and artifices of the enemies
of the Holy See. One part of those adversaries have
never belonged to the church against which they
wags an implacable war; another part, after having
had the happiness of being born within its pale, have
abandoned it to make commas C:0111 with the former. By
both of them all means of attack are sioesidercd good—per-
secutions, vicileace, falsehoods, sad ralumnles. Like Abe°.
lom at the gates of Jerusalem, they constantly repeat that
if the crown, of which they wish to despoil the Vicar of
Jesus Christ, stood on another head, justice would be better
dispensed, the people would become freer and happier, and
the golden age would again flourish for all. I seed not point
oat the gross errors with which such reasoning abounds.
Kay those who make use of them have the heart pierced
not with the spear which went through that of Absolom,
but by a ray of divine grace, which would make them
aware of the iniquity of the'- actions, sad show
them the abyss of the eternity which they approach, blind
and deaf, without perceiving the brisk of it. And you who
faithfully assist me either in the administration of the shred
of state which has been left to me, or in the more difficult
one of the nnivecill church, motions to amid me with
your fidelity and year devotedoses. I do not arrogate to
myself the gift of prophecy, bat although I do not see io
the horizon any gleam of hope or any probability of human
sesistaace, I nevertheless think I can affirm that our miter-
ing; our resignation, and our prayers will in the end merit
for us from God those mercies which he is sometimes long
in granting, but which he refuses to those who serve
Him with fear and love.

THE POLICY OF ENGLAND.
PA aLS, Jung 29, lloiunNo.

The Constitutionnel of this morning, in an article
signed by M. Limayrac, points out the differenoe
existing between the present resolution of Earl
Russell and Lord Palmerston and their former
policy, whereby passions were aroused which were
to remain unsatisfied, and threats made which wore
to be followed by no results. The Constitutionnel
then says :—" Public opinion in Europe will
hardly be able to understand these contradictions,
and will find that they weaken the authority and
influence of the English government, and that if
the negotiations have failed, it was perhaps owing
to the reason that these contradictions had been
,foreseen."
