TURIN, Serr. 24.
The hopes entertained by many of the moderate
liberals that the congress of bishops at Villanovitta
would adopt au attitude at once firm and conciliatory
between the Piidmonteae government and the court
of Rome are dissipating gradually before the declara-
tions authorised by the episcopal synod in the
elrmonia, an organ devoted to the interests of Rome.
Tim following statement appears in that paper :

We are authorised to contradiet that which some journals,
and especially the Gautla del Papa°, arm' and to state
positively that the bishops assembled at Villsnovetta have
not esued • single instant to be faithful to the principles
and convictions proclaimed by them only • few months since
in sword with all the episeopsey of the kingdom. They
ardently desire to see a confi ct alike windiest to the
spirited interests which ere confided to them and to the in-
terests of the este terminated. All their efforts have had
for their end, up to this moment, the accomplishment of this
desire; they will not caw to as in the same mustier, but
always confining themselves within the limits prescribed to
them by the respect and obedience due to the Holy Father,
and to the inviolable and invariable principles of the holy
catholic, apostolic, and Itoroan church.

This declaration seems decisive with regard to the
intention of the bishops of the congress to hoist the
papal standard, and justifies the surmise of those
who regarded the meeting at Villa Novetta as a move
dictated from the Vatican. It is quite hopeless to
expects solution of the difficulties of the ecelesiasticsl
question from a synod which begins with prostration.
before the chair of St. Peter. With regard to the feel-
ing of the country there can be no doubt. Religious fa-
naticism, common in many puss of Italy, has nearly
entirely disappeared Iron Piedmont ; and thq agri-
cultural population show not the least indication to
oppose the active measures which are taking by the
municipal bodies of the towns for opening a campaign
against the clergy. The coonotls•general of dis-
tricts and the municipal conucile are sending
up from all quarters addresses of adhesion to
the government, exhorting it to adhere firmly to
the policy prescribed by the laws of biccardi. The
municipal caoncil of Alexandria has adopted the fol-
lowing resolution :
The scone% applauding the firmness displayed by the
shear, in the execution of the Siccardi laws, urges it to
persevere, and to present, on the opening of parliament,
other laws of the same kind, to complete the reforms com-
menced. The council also engages the government to dis-
tribute and administer the property of the clergy in a may
satisfactiry way.
Bat while the government is urged in one direction
by public opiniotrand ths legitimate exponents of the
people's will, the potent lever of diplomacy is em-
ployed to count:net the =Hoed tendency. It Louis
Napoleon possessed a grain of the penetration of the
Emperor he would see in this quarrel between Pied-
mont and the Pops a fit base for recovering the
inane's. which Frazee has lost in Italy by the fatal
expedition against Roma, and for establishing a coun-
terpoise to the growing aseendeney of Austria. Bat
M. Ferdinand B rrot seems merely to be playing
second fiddle to the Count of Appony. M. d'Azeglio
has hitherto displayed a firmness which entitles him
