LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE POPWB LETTER TO THE EMPEROR
NAPOLEON.

The losdepposdases Beige of yesterday evening
publishes in its entirety the latter addressed by Pops
Pius to the Isparta Napoleon in answer to the ad•
vice tendered him by his Majesty. We subjoin a
translation :

" Sire,—l have received the letter which your
Majesty has had the goodness to write to me. and I
reply to it without evasion and with an open heart.
Is commencing, I do not hide from myself the
difficult position of your Majesty ; I see it in all its
gravity. Your Majesty could leave this position by
some decisive matinee which perhaps excites your re-
pugnance, and it is precisely because you find yourself
in this position that you advise me again for the
peace of Europe to cede the insurgent provinces,
while assuring me that the powers will guaraates to
the Pope those which remain to him.

" A project of this nature presents insurmountable
difficulties, and to become convinced of it it is suf-
ficient to reflect upon my situation, my sacred cha-
racter, and the rights of the Holy See—rights which
are not those of a dynasty, but of all catholic,. Toe
difficulties are insurmountable because I can-
not cede that which doss not belong to
me, and because I see but too clearly
that the victory which would be given to the revolu-
tionists of the legations would serve as a pretext
and encouragement to the native and foreign revo-
lutionists of the other provinces, to play the same
game, seeing the success of the first; and when I
say revolutionists, I speak of the least considerable
and the most audacious part of the populations.
" Tne powers you say will guarantee the rest;
but in the grave and extraordinary cave which
are to be foreseen, and considering the numerous aids
which the inhabitants receive from without, will
it be possible for the powers to use their force in an
efficacious manner ? If that is not so, year
Majesty will be persuaded with me that the usurpers
of others' goods, and the revolutionists, are invincible
'when they are only met by means of reasoning.
" However that may be, I am compelled to declare
openly that I cannot cede the legations without
violating the solemn oaths which bind me, without
producing a disaster and a shock in the other pro-
vinces, without bringing wrong and shame upon all
catholic,, without weakening the rights, not only of
the Sovereigns of Italy, unjustly despoiled of their
domains, but of the Sovereigns of the whole Chris-
tian world, who cannot see the destruction of certain
principles with indifference.
" Your Majesty makes the repose of Europe to
depend upon the cession by the Pope of the legations,
which for fifty years have:caused so much embarrass-
ment to the Pontifical government ; but, as I pro-
mised in beginning this letter to speak openly, let
me permitted to return the argument. Who can
count the revolutions which have occurred in
France during the last sixty-six years P Bat
at the lame time who will dare to say to the
great French nation, that for the repose of Europe
it is necessary to restrain the limits of the empire ?
The argument proves too much, accordingly permit
me to reject it. And, moreover, your Majesty is
not ignorant by what persons, with what funds,
with what support the late attempts at Bologna,
Ravenna, and other cities, have been made.
Almost the entire population remained terror-
stricken at the movement, which no one ex-
pected, and which they were not disposed to follow.
Bat your Msjeety observes that if I had accepted
the project expressed in the letter which you sent
me through M. Menses], the insurgent pro-
vinces would be now under my authority.
To tell the truth, this letter was opposed
to that with which you honoured me before
the commencement of the Italian campaign, and in
which you gave me consoling assurances without
causing me any trouble. However, the letter to
which you allude proposed; to me in its first part
a project as inadmissible as the present; and as to
the second part, I believe I have adopted it, as the
documents consigned to the hands of your Ambu-
sador at Rome will show.

" I see also this phrase of your Majesty's, that if
I had accepted this project, I should have preserved
my authority over these provinces—an expression
which seems to denote that at the point at which we
have arrived they are lost to me for ever. Sire, I
pray you, in the name of the church, and also in your
own interest, so to act that my apprehension
be not justified. Certain memoirs, called secret, t .11
me that the Emperor Napoleon I. has left to his
family warnings worthy of a Christian philosopher,
who to adversity found resources and alleviation in
religion alone. It is cert►in that we shall all shortly
appear before the Supreme tribunal to render a strict
account of all our deeds, our words, and our
thoughts. Endeavour then to appear before this
great tribunal of God in such a way us to experience
the effects of His pity, and not those of His justice.
I speak thus to you In my character of Father,
which gives me the right to tell the whole truth
to my sons, however elevated their position in
the world. For the rest, I thank you for
your friendly expressions in my regard, and for
the assurance you give me that you wish to continue
to me the solicitude which you say you have had for
me up to the present time. It only remains to me
to pray God to pour upon you, upon the Empress,
and upon the young Imperial Prince the abundance
of His blessings. " Pita IX.
