M. EDMUND ABOUT'S PAMPHLET ON
• THE ROMAN QUESTION."•

We (Daily Newt) have bees Asinered with the
perusal of the proof sheets of these resaarkallie sad
sugrestive pages, which were published yestordey is
Pais and in Brussels, .tit English teanslatkm, ea-
&retire with the special permission of the
euti ue. up aneoanoed to appear in London
within the next few day.. The history of
the osiginal 6ecosi.re is worth relating. Sem&
month. ewe M. About was engaged in writing a
oa Rome end the Romans fa the
Iheuteier, which the anttonties of the Vetoes
Seed so intolerably witty and so mareilesely
truthlhl that they earasedy represented to the Frauds
opeerasaist the dearer of such • seandeleth

retie, La Griot Chaineyeraine, sad La Foi dee
Aftwiteyees was politeiv requested to Imes the
States of the Church, aid to renounce him impres-
sions of Horns and the Romans. For nearly
a year hi. About eras soatest to be Sleet,
and to make no sign of final impeni-
tent* ; but the sondem and supreme crisis
at which the Italian question steed at the
beginning of the present year induced him to Meet
hie scattered and anhaialied oancributions to the
Allowiteur, and to embody them, with considerable
revisions and additions, in a connected pamphlet of
more than WO octavo pages. Whilst, however, the
Italian question wee std, in the hands of diplomacy,
it seemed to M. About's influential friends in France
somewhat incoayseient to permit so scathing an
indictment 'onset the Papal system to be published
is Paris ; and accordingly the pamphlet printed
Paris was removed to "merle for pubboatice.
la the meantime, the loog-deferred bat in-
evitable struggle for Italian independence has
arrived, and the objectioos which under other
circumstances were court red to exist to the ap-
pearance of the bra-herr at Paris have disapßeared.
Whether after its male ham been exhausted in France
the imperial censorship may bedisposed,with a decent
regard to misfortune, to defer to the suereptibilitiss
of the Holy See, events irtil determine, but, at all
events, fitters scrip,: mane!. We subjoin so
street, fa what we most honestly call a rough sad
ready translation, for it is impossible to psalm
in another language the exquisite aroma sad
pungency of the original text. M. Edmond
About is a lineal intellectual daseendant of Voltaire ;
he writes with the brilliant ease, the tone of good
company, the piercing clearness, the genial temper,
and unalterable good seem of the nerdmahide
de Jitney . but the elfervesing epigram of the
language evaporate* in the process of conversion
into another idiom, as the salt of the thought loses
half its net sad Savour. Those of our readers who
are &milts . with the name and genius of the author
will sot he comsat with any other words than his
own ; bet all, we believe, will be glad to make
esqoaintsaee with so good-hanioured and yet so
pitiless a critic of Institutions which are still pa,
Baited to blight the liberty sad happiest@ of three
nations of our fallow-ereaturea
