MEETING, OF SYMPATHY FOB 7HE POPE.

On Thursday a meeting of the Roman catholic
clergy of the ercedlocae of Dahlia waa held in the cathedral
of that oily, Archbishop Cuttzst in the chair, for the pur-
pose of adopting an address to the Pope, expressive of their
sympathy at the peresentious he is at present subjected to.
ihe following reeolatier were unanimously adopted •
" Resolved—That thia meeting views with grief and ab-
horrence the violent and escrilegior invasion of the terri-
tories of the church, which Is just now being to-
gether with the slur unceasingly made ton it the
legitimate anthority of the Someign Pontiff; and that we
repudiate, as fah, and calumnious, the chaps so m
Maly uttered by the enemies of the Holy See, andils:o-.
Wksaly propagated by the anti•catbolic prase, against the
paternal government of the Supreme Pontiffs.
'Resolved—That the teruporel government of the Holy
See, art venerable for its antiquity, most legitimate in its
=gin, and most providentially secured and prefierrod for so
many eggs for the benefit of religion, is justly deorned neces-
sary for the freedom of the church end the independence of
the Sovereign Pontiff in its government. An attack, there-
fore, upon the temporal dominions of the church is not so
much a violation, however unjust, of the supreme rights of a
mom august and verrahle temporal ruler, em a secniegious
invasion of the church and an injury indicted on the whole
catholic body throughout the world.
"Resolved That r humble address of bondohiace
sad sympathy with our Holy Father the Pope, under hie
premit severe trials, be prepared in the name of this meet-
ing, an that Ms gram the archbithop be respectfully re-
epastad to forward this earries of our sentiments for pre-
sented= to hie Holiness.
Resolved—That we call upon the catholic laity of all
chases, and especially oar' eatrr representatives in par •
karat, on gentlemen of stars and property, on the west-
tyre of the catholic and liberal mesa, end all who preen
Political, social. or literary Warr to unite with us in Se-

LONDON. SATURDAY. NOP: S.

" I H VVZ seen," smite, M. Di CHATIAtIIIAND,
" these English take off their hats to a poor exiled
priest;" and the author of the Genie dm Chris-
lianume notes this respect for unmerited mis-
fortune as an example of the high-mindedness of a
free people.

We should grossly belie the duties and responsi-
biliti.s of the liberty we enjoy, if when a generous
though mistaken advenary had spoken hard words
of us, we accepted his persecution as a sop to oar
wounded pride, and we should be guilty of a still
more heinous indignity if we replied to conscientious,
though undimmed, accusations with a storm of
insult and abuse.

It is just a year since a French orator and writer
of the highest character and the strongest opinions
was under sentence of tine and imprisonment for
haring written a courageous and eloquent eulogy
of England and English institutions. If there was
a spark of chivalry in the free press of England,
surely it was then the time to maks the canes of M.
us MONTALEMBERT our own, and to prove to the
world that we were the champions of freedom and
the foes of oppression, without respect to persons,
to parties, or to creeds. Let it be remembered—

(even when, according to the good-natured psi
phecies of M. VEVILLO? and Mr. JOHN M►Tcutt,
England has sunk to the condition of an Imperial
Department)—that when the French Press was re.
duced to silence or complicity, it was left to the
English journals to tight the battle of right sad
justice in the court of European opinion, and to
shame the persecutors of M. tie Motreammiegrr
into the reversal of a flagrant wrong. Not that
we claim proles for declaring oar unchangeable
fidelity to • principle—stereal, universal, indepen-
dent of the worthiness or unworthiness of its victims
and confemors; but that we desire to make it clear
that in defending M. D• MONTALEMILUT last year
we did no more than we should be ready to do now,.
and • thousand times again. Yet neither then Dor
now have we escaped reproach ; for them will always
be honest but narrow minds, incapable of distiagidsh-
lug the law from the Gospel—the letter that Wade
from the spirit that giveth life—the good cause from
the bad admen,' and to these it will appear Bat
treason to Protestantism to defend a bigoted Papist,
and a sheer betrayal of religious liberty to take up
the cudgels in behalf of • vehement apologist of
spiritual despotism. Frequent and bitter were the
remonstrances with which we were favoured twelve
months since at one unaccountable sympathy with a
man who, we were reminded, had done more hum
to the liberal muse in Europe than all the monarchs,
and all the diplomatists; who had overwhelmed the
French republic with vituperation, and demanded
not only the expedition to Rome, but " • Roman
"expedition" against Liberals at home; who had
aided and abetted the conspiracy of December, and
only denied it when he found himself one of a herd
of malcontents, without • voice, without a pen, the
tribune from which he had anathematised liberty
struck from under his feet, and the sovereignty of
FClfa, he had so often invoked reigning in its stead.
All this we were told, and much more in the same
strain, when we had the honour of emaciating the
name of MONTALCUBIeaT with the defence of a prin-
ciple attacked in his person. Yet we persisted even
after some of our contemporaries were fain to let him
down se a vain and vulgar candidate for cheap mar-
tyrdom. We pointedly declined to obey the maxim
•eras taxers:se viures: and now that M. Di NION-
TALiIII,ItItT is once more before the world as the
calumniator of Italy, the derider of England, the
enemy of oatmeal right', of civil arid religious liber-
ties, wherever they clash with his owe prejudice,
interests, or dogmas—now we are tauntingly re.
quested to believe that had we loved him as one we
must one day hate, we should have manifested a
sounder discretion and • wiser foresight. We
are therefore reluctantly compelled—reluctantly,
because to say the truth we were disposed
to leave M. De MONTALEXRERT alone rather
than reply with all the advaatage of free-
dom to on* who writes under ciocatreint—we
are compelled, in self-defence, to usury our corre-
spondents that in the name of that liberty which
M. fir NIONTALJIMIStir .oedemas in Italy and re-
grets in France we are as ready to maintain his
right to • free utterance of his opinions when they
shock and offend us, is we were when they flattered
and exalted us. We do Dot esteem his personal cha-
racter, his rare capacity, his courage, or his
eloquence loss bemuse he devotes them to the lionise
of ideas and sentiments which are his own, not airs.
We appreciate the delicacy and dielcalty of hie posi-
tion at this trying moment, as the known friend and
admirer of Protestant and liberal England, of bee
Parliamentary institutions, her free press, her self-
government, and her other public virtues and bless.

by his brother Academician, the Bishop of °MAASS.
Nay, without bating a jot of oar respect for the
sincerity of convictions expressed with admirable
force and boldness by one of the Meet orators and
writers of the me, whom abessos from the Tribune
we lament as cordially se we hail his brilliant rhetoric
in the Correspondent, we can make great allow.
once for the occasimal inconsistencies, and, to use a
foreign idiom, inomeequences, which we seem to de-
tect in the latest incriminated article which has
fallen from his pen.
AL ox MOSTALUIRERT, as all the world knows,
le • devoted and passionate admirer of England. in

' the eery set of calling our conduct " ignoble," he
eslis half the " contemot” of our virtues. To be
a " sewasser" of England and at the same time of
the Poet is, we are willing to believe, • perplexing
attitude. The remoras of logic and the avenging
fury of common sense may well be supposed
to have scourged M. Pe MONTALIMERT, when
be eat down, at the instigation of his episcopal
admirers and of fashionable Catholic suciety, to
preach to a congregation of converts a sermon never
meant for the hard digestion of heretic,. To do him
justice, however, we mast thankfully acknowledge
that even under extreme irritation he has cot written
a word against England, which even an Englishman
might not have fairly written from a certain point
of flew without offence to his fellow-countrymen of
• different persuasion. A Tory has often described
Whig policy as ignoble, and the 'Whig has returned
tie compliment in a perfectly Pickwickian sense, and
without imputation against each other's patriotism;
and we are not at all hurt by the assurance that if
France, the eldest daughter of the Church, had not
compromised the HOLT FATURIL, we, undutiful chit-
dna, might have gone on hating the Pore to our
heart's content without doing him harm. Bat it is
when a man so clear-sighted and so shrewd as M. DR
MONTALEIIIIERT is on this side of the AJpe, so hearty
• liberal whenever be does us the honour of crossing
the Channel in search of a breath of free air ; it is when
be omens that no Pore has ever sought to aggran-
dize the territory of hie &Masi that he is opposed to

ie le intervention, beteeen sovereigns and subjects,
he sem with pleasure the French troops at Rome,
and would rather see the Austrians back at Ferrara
and Bologna than allow the Legations to dispense
with the Legates. The Papacy is the greatest
" moral " power in the world, yet it moves heaven
and earth for the restoration of a province to its
secular misrule. The Papacy has never troubled
Europe with its pretensions; what, then, are its
threats and its clamours now? P11:74 the NINTH

in other countries they shall be strictly confounded

of privileged Italians who inhabit those parts, shell
continue to serve their fellow-creatures—as a fright-
ful example.
