impression of yesterday :

FRANCE.

March Ist is supposed to have reference to the debates

REPLY TO THE POPE'S ENCYCLICAL LETTER.
• M. de Thouvenel has addressed to the diplomatic
agents of France a 'reply to the last encyclical letter of
thnPope. He leaves it to history to .say whether the
responsibility of events falls on the Emperor, or on those
who, refusing any concession or any retool', and confining
themselves in inexplicable action, have allowed things
to grow worse and worse until they threaten to reach a
point at which the evil becomes so great that it cannot
be remedied. He ,complains of the Court of Rome
transporting to the field of religion a question which
belongs to temporal -order, and disclaims the slightest
intention of encroaching on the spiritual power of
the Sovereign Pontiff. The Holy See, he says, has
placed itself in discord with the spirit of the times, by
making an appeal to men's consciences in the name of
faith for an interest which is simply temporal. M. de
Thoavenel cites recent examples to show that the Ro-
magna narrowly escaped being dissevered from the
states of the Church in 1815. In 1814 Austria and Na-
ples entered into stipulations with each other, based pn
the principle of partitioning the Legations. In the
negotiations at Vienna, in 1815, the discussion on the
Roman States was constantly maintained, even by the
Catholic powers, in an order of considerations purely
temporal.
AUSTRIA.
