Our correspondent at Turin (says the indeperld-
once of Brussels) has communicated to ns an interest-
ing fact which adds to what has ben alreadj said
on the subject of the fruitless attempts made at
Berlin by Austria to renew the treaty of April 20,
The court of Prussia is said to have made
known to that of lorin its positive deterenioation not
to Wieder, in any way with the affairs of Italy. It
is needle. far us to point oat the importance of this
declaration, which, if the statement be correct, may
mark the commencement of a good understanding
and useful relations for which Count de Cavour laid
the foundation in Paris in his mace:lea with the
plenipoteatiaries of Prussia and Ranier. These are
proceedings which naturally give mussing= to Aus-
tria, and will suffice to explain the attempts of the
semi-official journal of Vienna to deny the matter."

THE POPE AND LORD P,

BOMB, Mau 12.
The contusion and contradiction that prevail smog
the various path composing the ecoltaiastleal mem
meat, have been forcibly demonstrated by the recent
conflict with regard to the publication of Lord Pid-
rneraton's speech on the affairs of Italy. The Pope,
who has a will of hie own when he thinks proper,
mad the whole speech in the Detrags, a paper which
he is in the habit of perusing regularly ; and resolving
that his own good intentions and humane disposition,
for which even the British Premier gives him credit,
should not incur the blame attributable to the mil-

administration and arbitrary acts of his ministers, his
Holiness insisted upon the publication of the speech
in the Roman official piper in spite of the strenuous
opposition of Cardinal An tonsil i, who was so disgusted
at having to give up that he was quite ill for two
days afterwards. The speech, however, as printed
in the Journal of Rom* is sufficiently ambiguous and
incorrectly translated to render it uncertain whether
the tyrannical acts alluded to by Lord Palmerston
refer to the Pope's present ministers or those of his
constitutional reign ; but even this garbled account,
inserted only on the Pope's absolute command, was
so obnoxious to the police authorities, acting under
the orders of the Secretary of State, that many copies
of the journal destined for the provinces were kept
back at the post-office or seized after arriving at their
respective destinations, whilst those distributed se
usual to the subscribers in Rome were withdrawn
from the cafes on the following morning, thus afford-
ing the public the absurd spectacle of a government
giving orders for the seizure and prohibition of its
own official organ.
The attention of the members of the ecclesiastical
government is now turned towards &serious reply to
all that has been advanced against them in the Paris
conference, and in the British and Piedmontsee par-
liament'. The prelates destined to accompany Car-
dioal Patrizi to the baptism of the imperial prince, at
Paris, are preparing a counter memorandum for the I
perusal of the Emperor Napoleon, demonstrative of
the divine and altogether exceptional rights of the
papacy, to interfere with which would be sacrilege on
the part of a Christian prince. Mossignors Capalti
and Vincenzi, learned in the medieval mysteries of
canon law, are making out as clear a case as the
overwhelming evidence on the other side of the goa-
-1 rion will allow of, but they must be skilful indeed if
they succeed in persuading the Emperor that the
Papal government is, either theoretically or practi-
cally, a good one.
It may be easily imagined that the French ambas-
sador, who is looked upon as a personal friend by
the Pope and Cardinal Antonelli, has enough to do
at the Vatican whilst negotiations of such imairtasee
are pending. On Tuesday he was closeted with the
cardinal from early in the morning until four o'clock
in the afternoon, although it was the day for sending
dispatches to Civita Vecchia for the French steamer
direct to Toulon.

M. d.11;;;eval has also been occupied in re-
samiog, from the archives of the embassy, the forcible
reports on the state of the Papal dominions draws
op for his governmeot by the late Count Rossi, whilst
holdiog the post of French anibeasadoe at the wart
of Rome before his ill-fated ministry and mug-
nation.

Whatever all this may portend, the priests are, or
pretend to be, in very good heart. They say that
the remonstrances of the plenipotentiaries are all
talk, and mesa nothing, and piously revert to the
sertain assurance that no tempest shall ever over-
whelm the mystic, bark of St. Peter. Betting amide
the latter part of the argument, it is mute to be
feared that the former will prove correct, and that
the cis Melia of prelatical obstinacy will prove
superior to diplomatic recommendations for the pre-
sent. The anomalies and anachronisms of priestly
dominion have brought the whole fabric into such a
tottering condition, that reparation is impossible
without a previous and total downfal, a climax to
which the catholic powers of Europe at any rate are
not yet prepared to urge their interference. But it
is certain that sooner or later revolutionary fury will
effect what diplomacy has failed io, if the protemice
at foreign troops is withdrawn from the Papal
throne.
