cannot reckon Ultramontanism. The " sweet
uses " of adversity are at present unknown to the
prelates who in Italy and France havAdistinguished
themselves by their active sympathy with the court
of Rome. The French bishops, ever since the
flight of the Cardinal Legate from Bologna, have
bean remarkable for the violence of their denun
dation' of all who were concerned in delivering the
Pope's subjects from the Austrian and priestly yoke.
Something or other—perhaps the measures jail
taken at Paris for counteracting their authority,
perhaps the emptiness of the Papal treasury—isms
occurred to stir up their wrath afresh. As, how-
ever, they have exhausted their acrimony against
the princes of the earth, they now accuse Heaven,
and from sedition and treason pass to some-
thing very like atheism and blasphemy. The Bishop
of Metz appears to have been reading of the dis-
contents and jealousies at Naples, and has con-
ceived the idea of setting up the Pope as a sort of
working, suffering, and injured Garibaldi, in con-
trast with the insouciance of the Sovereign in whose
name the church is militant. He more than hints
that the Holy rather is not supported as he ought
to be. The Bishop puts it too grossly, we should
think, even for his Lorrainen. In a touching air
dress, asking for pence, he says :

Then is holy warrant for this language ; only the
bishop employs It on the wean side. " Cry aloud,
for he is "a God ; peradventure he sleepeth, and
must be awakened "—was end by Elijah, only with
this diffisence, that he applied it to an idol god.
Whatever mysteriousness there may be about the
bark of Bt. Peter, people who have no interest in
keeping up the worldly pomps and vanities of the
Court of ROOM, catholim as well as protenenta, see
the mercy of Heaven in the deliverance of a long
owes's& people from a government only able to
"devour apace." The Bishop of Metz may rage,
and utter hard words, because a day of judgment
and retribution has oome ; but there are people in
the Romagna and the Marches who take this as a
sign that "He who keepeth Israel neither slumbers
nor sleeps."
