M. DVPILIT—That would be • representative sonereby.

IL DI MOXTAL 333333 —ln a representative nannarehy
the king it the real subject, but the nominal bead. That,
ho , is a state which we do not wish for Rome, for the
sovereignty of the Pope would be annthilated. Ha would
twain@ what the Patriarch of Constantinople did, who loot
dioity in the aids; of pet:Veil (scions, and the atoms
of the:streets. (Heir, hear.) What did you go to Rome to
eatable's ? It was a• 4 a POn reign, it mu not a respectable
man • es Goners' Cavaignso hoe expressed himiolf, it was the
pontiff, the P sr, the rintnal head of the church, and the
d.rector of catholic cow cnroce.. It is necessary to maiotain
him in that power ; for it is I" your interest; if the Pope
makes the cone' miens which Y. Victor Hugo d made he
will no longer enjoy the just sad a' popularity he
I did at his first accession to power. If Popo Pius IX. is seen
to profit so lulls by the sad experience whi,l2 he has gone
through : if he is seen to again incur the dangers which he
has already risked ; to re-establish parliamentary and deli-
berative power, I say that the confidence which we have in
him will be shaken! What is it that reastitates the force
of the Pope ? His motel power. But that power would be
shaken is est,dolie opinion if the Pops was wen to re com-
mence that career ea fail of pm it to the (thumb, to himself,
end to the charge of which, after all, he is only the de-
preitary. The Pope and they who support him find
several objections to make against a deliberative consults.
Who is it that demand such institutions ? Two kinds of
men—the first are these who have destroyed these
Institutions in France—the republicans of the wills. How
ran they ink for Italy what they have d stroyed in
France ? Why is it that they do this? I find the reasonin
the Notionst, which a few days ago said The Roman
people will not frankly and sincerely accept the new libeetit
—they will make use of them to GT.I.OVI the prince and
get rid of his authority." These men to whom I allude
demand a representative government fur Italy. Gentlem.n,
I am one of those who approve of that form of government
hut when I see that the representative government, directid
is Frain by men of the greatest Went, came to an end, as
you all saw, by a surprise which overturned it at onto—(inter-
risottos es the Left)—when I beheld that great and superb
government of France so terminated, by a surprise, I am
°Alined to admit to =tali that it cannot be the sweerwas
Persia in politics; and I think that the Pops may jest re-
ply to Fruit's :—" &lora recommending others to adopt the
representative government, why did you not know how to
keep it yourselves?" (Loud ajprobation )
A. Vorca on the Left—Yon want as absolute monarchy ?
(Noise.)

N. Ds MoNVALlMßEirr.—Grntlernen, there is one outs.
try in Italy_wisish pewees. the representative
_government
—namely, Fildlllollt. How has she used it ? The King of
Sardinia bad given to his people the government now de-
manded for Hone. What d d the chamber do? It urged
C' alts Albert to denounce the armistice; and, when
misfortunes impervened, what attitude did it souse ;
The Piedmonts.. chamber walked off on one side, as the
Austrians entered by the other ! (Movement,) The oppo-
sition reamed. What has it dons ? It has rendered the
government impossible, according to the avowal of every
one. It utters its bravado,. at present, that the Austrians are
distant, and it tenders the burdea of affairs insupportable to
the devoted Min of the goverement. flash are the examples
which are given to Pia, IX. by the oily representative go-
neediest in Italy. I forgot to mention, too, that for some
time past they hays been ocespd d in Piedmont la torment-
ing the bishops. Do you suppose that that course is an
lorieuragement to the Pope—that he does not see what is
passing ? Do you imagine that all this is in favour of re-
presentative government ? And yet, in Piedmont, it ls not
the clergy who direct affairs, but the laity—and, therefore, I
say, that these men cause the possibility of a parliamentary
assembly to be doebted. Had not Pies IX. himself given
all liberties—the press ; a civic guard ; hate chambers ; the
statute ? What were the remits of thus lib. rtiee ? The
press dethroned him morally, before he wee so really ; the
eiz:e go sad besieged him ; and after the anaseination of N
Rood, we behold his successor constitute himself the jailor
of the Holy Father. (Appiause.) The Pope, In according
liberty table people, has oven proof! of the nob inns and
eseelkuce of his heart. Had not he dons so, you night &ten
what his character really is, and believe thut his goverment
was iocompatible with regress ; bat he did all that plan
scald do. If, conseonsoolv, liberty is not now at Rome, it
Is not the fault of Pius IX., but of those who overturned
him. (Applause.) You say that the Pope has cheered
No, he his not changed ; but he has seen, he has ;trollied
by the tenable lesson which God has given him, ant, I
add, that he would be inexcusable if that were not the case ;
and, gentlemen, had changed, would he have been the

for moray? (Sensation.) On! search obscure depths; pe-
netrate into the most isolated homesteads; interrogate those
persona who have no; meddled with public affairs; probe
their sonselenon, and ask them if they love programs and
liberty as they loved it once? (Fresh movement.) Ask theta
if their faith in them is not 'hakes ? (Exclamations on the
Left.) I eon conceive the affliction this truth muses roi—
-1 also feel it. Well, then, out of a thousand liberals yea will
not find a single one at present who has not a hundred
tines less ardour than he had formerly (Loud denial on
the lift.) You cry out against that assertion ? Why, it is
one of year own orators who has said so. (Hear, bear.) I
only explain the phonniens, and the explanation is tole
that the flag has been usurped by impure demagogues. (Roe
