TUB Pots IN KffeLAND.—The Dikits of yester-
day has an article upon the Roman question by M. John
Lemoinne, in which the writer refers to the rumoured
Menthes of the Pope to quit Rome and take shelter in
England, and to the annoyance which the mere anoouocs-
, went of this determinatiou cannot fail to cause among en,
I tale French catholic", Y. Lernoinne *considers such annoy-
ance noreasosable, sod thinks that if Pins IX. were really
to seek refuge in a foreign country be could not make a
better choice. " Catholics," he adds, " appear to us to
understand but badly the sentiment which animates Eng-
land if it be true that she ban offered an 'statue! asylum
to the Pope. England cannot make any nee of the Pops,
because she has no need of him. Her offer **thing mon

ditutioce. There is not, in fact, a country in the
world where the catholic church ia freer than
is protestant England. It is much more free than
the natiooal church icielf, which is the servant of the State,
sod which miserably deplores its dependence. DM to what
dose the catholic church owe this hidependince ? She owes
it to the political institutions, to the civil liberty of the
sponetry. When Eaglead giveaan asylum to fallen dyes,.
the it is sot from sympathy with the nalefeetanee to which
the has costriboted. When she receives republican exiles
it is not from affinity with doctrines which are completely
fudge to her. In the mine manner if the Pope went to
