MANIFESTO OF THE PAPAL GOVERNMENT.
The following le the teat of the Allocution of the
Pope, delivered at the Oeweietory of the 26th ult. :
Venerable Brethren—la the address which we delivered
be pain Jane last, with set Wert overcome by grid, we
apiend all that had bees dose by the wombs of the Holy
See at Bologna, Remiss, and elsewhere, against the civil
soureigaty which legitimately balmy to as sad to this
Holy flea. Ws moreover declared Mauna@ time that they
bad all incerned the sealseleatical amenses mod peneWas
emoted by the surd memem, sad es decreed that all their
mew were wall mil mid.
We Indulged is the hope, boomer, that those rebellious
eons, moved and meted by as. weeds, would have returned
to their duty ; they ell bow the Maim which we have
always displayed, Macs the meneaseasemat of our Pontdkate,
and with what love and see 4 in the midst ed the serious
dilloalties of the present Mess, we have always directed all
ewe ennead all oar thoughts to secure the proamaity sad
re tranquillity of our people, both as regards their temporal
awl spiritual interests. Supported by ;souse* by instiga-
tions, and by assistance from abroad, and feeling their auda-
city etrengthened by that ChrO•3lll44lKS, they have not
hesitated at any attempt; sad, carrying disturbance into ell
the Amnion (1) provinces subject to our ustillad power,
they have withdrawn them from one effectivity, and from
that of Ibis Holy See.
The standard of defection and rebellion having been raised
ia those provisces, and the Pontifical government being
thirds overthrown, there were at first established dictators
of the sub-Alpine kingdom, who afterwards took the name of
cansdeekmars extraordinary, and than that of governors
gum/ Audaciously arrogating to themselves the rights of
ear, teprenepower, they dismissed from public functionathos
memo whom well-known fidelity towards their legitimate
prime mode than regarded se Movable of joining in per-
verse designa. Them use have tams feared to usurp the
substrata pew by enhjeciting the hospitals, the orphan
sitablishmenta, mad other fnatitutione of that kind, to new
laws. They have gone so far al to Wired the members of
the clergy by sending them Into exile or throwing them
into mime. In their declared hatred egaivat the Apostolic
See, they called together cm the fish of this month, at Bo-
logna, an assemblage which they Sylbd the National As-
sembly of the people of ...Emilia, end there promulgated a
decree fell of lying pretext, and aocuations, by which,
falsely slleging the unanimity of the people, they declared,
in contempt of the eights of the Roman church, that they
would no longer be /objected to the pontifical govenament.
On the following day they made a fresh declaratioo, stating,
ss is now the custom, that them provinces wished to be an-
nexed to the domain and kingdom of the King of Sardinia.
In the midst of those deplorable attack., the chiefs of the
party incessantly labour by all the means at their disposal to
corrupt the habits of the people, particularly by distributing
books and journals, printed either at Bologna or elsewhere,
and In which they emoting° every kind of licentiousness;
• inmate the person of the Vicar of Jesus Christ; mock the
practice of religion and of Christian piety; and turn into
ridicule the prayer. commonly offered up to the most Holy
and Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, either to do
her honour or to implore her powerful protection. Been in
theatrical representations there is no respect for public
honesty, modesty, or virtue; and the persons devoted te
God are held up to derision and to contempt.

That Is why you particalsrly, Venerable Brethren, who

to show in a striking manner their firm faith sad the respect

ft Intact to oar sasitesore as the patrimony of St. Peter, we
cannot refrain from raising our apostolic voice, in order that
all the catholic universe, and particularly all our vene-
rable brethren, the bishops—from whom we have received,
la the midst of the bitterest "MOWS, to the great joy
of our heart, so many remarkable and illustrious
testimonies of faith and love, and of attachment to as, this
Holy See, and the patrimony of the bleeped Peter—may know
with what energy we disapprove of everything which these
men have dared to accomplish in the provinces of -Emilia,
subjected to our Poetical sovereignty.
That ie why we entirely reprove, end declare null and of
no elect, all the Iles of Mitch we have spoken in this august
msembly, and all the acts encroaching on the power, eccle-
eleatikel immunities, our civil sovereignty, end that of this
Holy See, principality, power, and jurisdiction—whetever
may be the name given to these acts.
No one is ignorant that all those persona who, in the
provisoes above named, have given their support, counsels,
or assent to the acts which we blame, or have in soy way
promoted the socompliehment of them, have incurred the
seriesiastical penalties and censures which we alluded to in
our allocution mentioned above.
And now, venerable Meisel', let us throw ourselves with
madden°. at the foot of the throne of grace, in order to
obtain from Divine assistance the computation and the
• strength necessary in the midst of each great edvereitlee.
Let US not cease to address to Clod,wito is rich in mercy, fer-
vent and bumble prayer., in order that by his all-powerful
vises he may Ming back the guilty, some of whom, perhaps,
know not what they do, to better thoughts, and to the paths
of justice, religion, sad salvation.
