Tin common sense of Europe has supplied the
conclusiue.i which are wanting to M. Ds La
(lcsaaoa IV. k E'S last pamphlet on the ROMailQues-
tion. It is agreed by all but • few fanatical par-
tisans that nothing less than a miraculous interfe-
rence with the laws of nature can stay the fall of
the temporal power of the Papacy. Whether
Rome or Florence should be the future metropolis
of United Italy is a matter of purely local concern,
which may be settled by the Italians themselves,
according to the dictates of tradition or conveni-
ence. That the Eternal City should receive a
grand historical rehabilitation, sod that the King
of ITALY should be crowned on the Capitol, may be
a poetical rather than a political conception, but
that without Rome, or with Rome garrisoned by
foreigners, or held as a fief of the Catholic
Powers, neither the independence nor the tran-
quillity of Italy is secured, is a plain fact which
even the Bishop olOutalim does not impugn, be-
cause the Bishop of Oausss sees nothing in Italy
worth • thought, except it be the Go.
remnant of Cardinal Airroexur. This key
fellow-countryman of Jour* DE MANTAS con
-
eiders himself, we believe, one of those select
" liberals" who are so terribly persecuted under
the Second Empire. He is an advocate of pure
parliamentary government, and of all those free
institutions which succumbed with the House of
Oeir.ams. He is, or was till lately, a bitter advo-
cate of free speech and a free press. This is not
to be wondered at in so facile and forcible a
muter of tongue and pen as the Bishop, who to
prove his courage in the face of Power, solemnly
traduced the memory of one of his predecessors
in the see of Orleans. Monseigneur DISPAZILOtt
has • fine theological manner of dealing with
facts. Adopting the wholesome principle—tout
maiirais co, at unable—he flatly denies whatever he
finds too stubborn in material to manipulate, and
mould, and colour in his own sense. The data on
which M. Da La Gvesaoxvtsss lavishes
his somewhat flabby rhetoric are really incon-
trovertible by episcopal pastoral, or pamphlet,
since they consist in a great measure of extracts
from published despatches, and in more than one
instance of the recorded words of Cardinal ANDY,
ZI.LI himself. The rest is already matter of his-
tory, which it is simply impossible for the most elo-
quent and ingenious of Bishops or Academicians to
distort or disguise. For example, Mgr. DUPAIILOUP
denies that the present Pore ever refused reforms.
Then how is it that only the other day Cardinal
Armenia declared to the Due de GIAXDIONT that
the Government of his HOLINIee would concede
nothing? If the Bishop of thu.x.ses would calmly
inform his readers what Reforms the Roman
Government has initiated or accepted since 1849,
he would do his own cause a better service than by
ceiling white black, and foaming at the mouth.
It results from the despatches recently published
that to the inveterate obstinacy of the
Papal Government only is the einancipatiee
of the Romagna, Umbria, and the Marches
owing. Cardinal ANTONtILI was again and swan
urged to make concessions which would have pre-
served the dignities and the profits of the tem-
poral government under the respectful disguise of
a Vicariate, whilst setting free the spiritual supre-
macy from the obstructions and embarrassments
of secular politica. But not so much as a new
edition of the Mote Proprio of 1849 could be got
out of his Moonset—nay, not even a clean copy
of the Mobs Prolific, of 1831, and we know how
much any document of that kind costs the conscience
of a Cardinal Secretary of State. Bishop DI:PA/I-
-LA/VP complains that when the Halmos undertook
the war of independence, which was to set Italy
free from the Alps to the Adriatic, and when he
invited *the people of Italy to be soldiers to-
day, that they might be cinemas of a put nation
to-morrow, "the Oatbolic party" were duped into
believing that "the temporal power of the Pore
" would be respected." Respected by whom? The
temporal power was at any rate more respected
by France than by Austria during the war. For
whilst Austria withdrew her troops from Halogen,
France remained in occupation of Room. The
Savoyard Bishop can scarcely pretend to charge
the French Government with the voluntary deser-
tion of Bologna by the Austrians. The Bishop
might have spared much unctuous invective if he
could have defined more precisely the sort of
" independence " which he claims so fiercely for
the temporal power. Does he mean an " inde-
" pendence " protected by French, or Austrian, or
Bavarian, or Spanish bayonets., or by all together I
Or an " independence " assured by " pioes
" Bretons," or in other words, by disbanded metue
name of refugee monarchs, and Legitimist brigands
in search of a sensation I MOXIZION LUZ Is
evidently ilisesuafied with the eseapation of the
Patnmony of St. Prom by General DZ 00YON. He
would probably prefer an Austrian occupation, as
less tended with Italian sympathise, and less com-
promised in the cause of Italian independence. This
may be good I 'linueontane and Legitimist doctrine,
but is it the feeling or the policy of Frame l'
M. Di M0N7.611,4 REIT and M. Di FALLOVI
will, so doubt, appreciate the delicate compliment
which the Bishop pays to the terriers they formerly
rendered to the Emeinum. Perhaps M. DI Most-
•tarsainera admirers in England have not given
him credit enough for the part he took in pro-
Pet* the restoration of the Eaapirs. The part
which " the Catholic party " took in hailing and
celebrating that event was a mere repetition of
