AMMON. THURAIDAY, OCT. 13

Tsa sews from Central Italy pond= to become
exalting. GAZIN‘LDI proclaim', Ms soldiers that
the Imo of a Dew struggle appreaehes. The POPE
has left Rome—when to rehire so mortal can tell.
The Sardinian Minister, too, leaves Rome, and re-
ceives on behalf of his Government inch homage ma
perhaps no :Minister in a mere diplomatic capacity
ever received before; and, while these things are
happeaing, the Emperor of the FRINCII solemnly
warns both Prince and people that before long he
will withdraw his soldiers from Rome, and that
their own wisdom and patriotism mast wain for
whatever crisis may arise.

The departure of the POPE from his capital, his
expected interview with the Log of NAILiS, Mad
the advance of a Neapolitan corps to the Papal
frontier, contenance in some measure a report, fa
itself sufficiently improbable, but which has reseatly
been repeated from Italy, that the King of NAPLES
is shoat to join his forces to those of the Po Pa, while I
OA attempt is made to reduce the Legations. The
internal condition of the kingdom of the Two
1...,c;1•e5, and the composition of its army, would be a
sufficient guarantee against the execution of any
such project, if the councils of his Neapolitan Ma-
jesty were guided by common sense. The Kum
ought to be well aware that he Wet of all the
rulers of Italy is able to spare memo for a brother
despot. But at Naples nothing is too absurd to be
possible. OMUSALDeS proclamation, however, ap-
pears to point to an attack from the Austrian rather
than from the Papal side. A determination to purge
Italy from the stain of the fatal occurrence of the
6th instant has compelled the Dictator Faiwtt to
assemble a large body of troops in the neighbourhood
of Parma, and the Austrian Archduke lately ruling
at Modena may KS in the distractions of the exemeot
a biased opportunity to strike a venturesome blow
for his throne. It will be notiesd that Austria de-
lays the conclusion of a peace. Last week the Treaty
was considered at Tann to he se good as signed.
It is ridiculous to suppose that these unexpected de-
lays, whatever their pretext, have their origin in •
question of money. Fabian t•etiss have always bees
in favour at Vienna, and befog now they have
served the House of Harantito well. But surely,
just now, it should be for the interest of Austria to
make peace and keep it.

The words pronounced by the Emperor NA rotrom
at Bordeaux are well swarthy of attention. The
Archbishop of that city, who presented an address
on behalf of the clergy, talked of nothing but the
weals of the Pot•e. Passing rapidly over the
hackneyed compliments he had prepared for his
temporal Sovereign, he pleaded with bins at great
length and with much earnestness against the Bo-
lognese, and for the restoration of the Legations to
the allegiance of the Purr. He even had the inso-
lence to intimate that it might be the worse for him
and nonce if be did not uphold the temporal power
of the Holy Father. The EMPEROR did not scoept
his sermon in all its absoluteness. He ohm to furnish
himself the interpretation of his own words. The
Archbishop bad reminded him of his saying that
the temporal power of the Pore was bound up with
the liberty and independence of Italy. The Ess-
PCIOII replied that it will be well for the Church
when all the world is brought to share in that opinion,
and then proceeded to add words conveying the
meanin.r that the Pore', Government itself mast
effect this change of opinion by the wisdom and
bstieflosnce of its policy. The French Government,
which brought the POPE back to Rome, would never
give hi. Government any other counsels than those
which sincere and mpeetful devotedness to hie
interrio., require, bat it is of necessity concerned
about %oat msy happen when the last French
soldier his left ]tome. For ten years France
0 ha. supported the temporal throne of the
Fist ; 'hat aid most soon cease. What will
follow its withdrawal, anarchy and terror, or
"peace:' These are anxious questions. It is
. easy enough to make passionate appeals, but in
" thew days passion will not help us ; we must calmly
look the truth in the fax. Both rulers and people
'• must seek to understand how to exercise wisely
,• their rights and bow to measure the extent of their
"duties." These are hard sayings, who can hear
them ' What profanity to tender the weasels of
earthly ri aeon to the Vicegerent of Heaven, to bid
itself bow to the teachings of history,
and acchangisg and unchangeable power to
reckon with rApoque us mows Motu.

The author of this good advice is probably the lad
person ro expect that it will be followed. But he
does wisely in throwing the responsibility of the
ssssegwaess of its rajectios upon the right shoul-
ders. The Papal Goveromeat is not hie any other
government under the sun. AU other governments
but that of Rome exist, at least in theory, for the
govern, d. That of the Pots exists avowedly for the
sake of interests with which his temporal subjects
hive c ailing to do. Emperors, King', and Statesmen
have deliberately repeated that the rights and liber-
ties of the three millions of men and women who
live in the Roman States ought to be sacrificed to
t►e independence of the Port, which, they say, is
an is•treet of Christendom. It is sheer folly to bop
that L•is Papal States will be well governed whits this
mccstroue theory it maistained in practice. Half
theist-tido= say, to the Port, the other half cos-
meth g, . These three =Moms of man, those six
• millinoe of sere*, are made over to you to give
dignity and sedependecos to your priestly stater
and the Pura deals with the peop:c and the country

as might be expected, without positively bad junta-
time, but without regard to those of their interests
which a secular Government, amenable to reenact,
must steadily pursue, if it would not perish. There
can be no State, in the proper sense of the word,
no true political society, in presence of the absolute
and awful power of the fort, to resist which is
sacrilege and impiety, and to question which is to
deny the immortality of the soul. The Emperor
of the Fitexcit may in some ecstatic moment
bare caught a glimpse of a POPE sec
'n-
riled to the liberty and independence of
Italy ; but common minds find historical &asocia-
-1 tions too strong for them. We know that in point
of fact the Popes have neither been free and inde-
pendent themselves nor contributed to the freedom
and independence of others. It was not the Pope's
power to decree dogmas or control consciences that
made Austria at one time the invader, at another
tins* the protector, of his States. His temporal
possessions, which were to have secured his dignity,
have made him now a helpless dependent, now a
miserable fugitive.
