ITALY.

The Contemporaneo of Rome, of the 9th instant,
contains the following remarks on the excommuni-
cation issued by the Pope against the Roman revo-
lutionists : _ _ _

" The Liberals have never attacked the sacred
principle of the Catholic religion, nor directed any
attempt against the spiritual power of the Pope.
Thus, the communication cannot affect them. Nor
are the canons of the Council of Trent applicable
to them, since they do not deprive the Pope of his
temporal power, for it was the Pope himself who deserted
it by abandoning his dominions. The excommunication
consequently can only affect the men who advised the
Pope to depart and take measures which have reduced
us to the necessity of convoking a Constituent As-
sembly in order not to remain without a Government.
When the expulsion of the Austrians was contemplated,
the spiritual power flinched from the accomplish-
ment of a duty sacred for every Italian prince,
and now, when his own temporal power is
in danger, the Pope does not hesitate to appeal
to his spiritual power. In order to be subjects
of the Pope, we must not only renounce Italy—we must
also renounce her under penalty of excommunication.
Thanks to the good sense of the people, we believe that
we can remain Christians, Italians, and freemen at the
same time, and that the excommunication really applies
to those who, having advised his Holiness to fly, and
now maintaining him in an inexcusable position, expose
him to lose his temporal power. Rome is tranquil, per-
fectly tranquil. May those words intimidate the cowards
who recommended the Sovereign Pontiff to adopt such
an extreme course, in order to produce a civil war, which
they had hitherto vainly attempted to kindle."
The Roman Ministry have abolished the laws of
primogeniture by a decree, in virtue of a preceding
decision of the Chambers.

Lord Carlisle, Captain Lock, and Henry F.
Richardson, Esq., have been elected patrons of the
Mariners' Friend Society.
