On the subject of the meat entrance of the
Piedmoniesie into the states of the Holy See, the
Cardinal Secretary of State his addressed the fol-
lowing note to all the members of the diplomatic
hotly residing in Rome. It is dated from the
Vistsren, 18th inst :
"The irodersigned matly regrets the necesaity of commu
isicatheg to the representatives of the foreign powers to the
Holy Mee, a statement .1 facts noes awl more deplonible

been invaded by volunteers, tertian, of Piedmont, who
now now threaten Viterbo. The Holy Father thus sees
himself violently despoiled of all his dominions, which
are the patrimony of the church and of aitholka,
notwithstanding that the Emperor of the French
has declared to Piedmont that he would oppose
the recent invasion, that he would cease all relations with
that government, if the latter did not give him the assu-
rance that the intimation made to the Holy See would not
be carried out, and that the Sardinians would not attack
the pontifical troops.
" In this state of things the undersigned cardinal com-
plains and protests against acts no destructive of all laws
human and divine, and as as ailing the independence of the
supreme head of the church and the integrity of the tem-
poral domain, with which he has been invested by the di*.
pensations of Providence' for the good of religion and of
the church, and which he has lawfully possessed for so
many centuries past.
"He therefore rinmesta your lordship to communicate
to your august sovereign tins complaint and protest. Tho
principles of justice, order, and morality which all princes
ere boned to maintain and defend for the safety of their
thrones, give assurance that they will oppose a barrier to
this spirit of usurpation, which, treading all law under foot,
spreads disorder by means of armed troops, in other states,
in ardor to consummate spoliation to the injury of the
lawful sovereign. What also gives no leas oonMence to the
Holy Father is the thought that attention will be paid to
the cries of so many millions of catholic scattered through
all kingdoms, who earnestly implore that a term may be
put to the anguish and calamities in which the common
father of all has been plunged.
"The undersigned assures your lordship of his high
consideration, kc.. " ANI'ONELLt."
