THE SUN.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JAN. 14, 1860.

What a perplexing perplexity is the PorE !
When shall we have done with it, and with him ?
He himself is perplexed, for he cannot do without
foreign soldiers, neither can he do with them.
Without them his subjects would leave him only
his bishopric and give his princedom to some one
not cursed with that impossibility for a secular
Government, infallibility —that unlucky attribute
being of no use in matters in which it can be sub-
mitted to the test of hard facts. France is per-
plexed, for her EMPEROR wants to reconcile the
homage demanded by his ultrarnontane clergy
with political reason; and with the consciousness
of national rights re-awakened to such activity by
his own campaign to liberate Italy. Austria her-
self is perplexed, for her .EarrEitott has sold his
country's birthright for something worse than a
mess of pottage—for a concordat; a bargain by
which,his Jesuit advisers manacled both his hands
with the promise of spiritual help, which is found
to be evaporating, like certain other spirits, into
thin air when they have served the purpose of be-
fooling their victim. English and Irish Catholics
are perplexed, for they try hard to prove that the
Porn's spiritual authority is based on a rock which
nothing can shake, while, in the next breath, they
tell us that the withdrawal of temporal authority
would crumble. the immoveable rock to pieces—
they, indeed, are doubly perplexed, for they live
in a free country, a country which has consolidated
its liberties by beheading and banishing those
who only aimed to subvert them ; and yet they are
forced to deny to the citizens of the Papal States
the rights which they claim as mere civil freedom
here, and of which, were any attempt made to de-
prive them, their howl of " persecution," " ty-
ranny," and " intolerance" would resound from
the Orkneys to Naples the blessed.
Indeed, the old expression "confusion worse con-
"founded" seems to be the only appropriate descrip-
tion of all the doings and relations of the Papacy.
An anonymous pamphlet is published in France.
Its contents and its putative fatherhood make the
Vatican turn pale. Disclaimer of paternity is de-
manded of the. presumed father. But, alas ! he is
silent;—but what of that, he is proverbially a
silent man, incing under its arguments, threats
of non-attendan De at Congress are tried. It is of
," Won't- ee come to Congress," as our amus-
ing contompor, ivy has it, is all the answer obtained.
A little diplom ttic soothing syrup is indeed offered
from the Frenc 17t Foreign Office. Count GRAM-
MONT "satisfies, the Pope," by the order of Count
WaL,EwsKt ; hi 5 Holiness now becomes placable,
and the Count proclaims that the pamphlet does
not contain "th a programme of France ;" surely all
is now coming .!•.; "ght ? Ah, no !—alas ! the next
news is that Wilt: O.IVSKI loses his temporal power
before the POPE ', loses his; and Austria and his
Holiness and MT a/.1 :wsici must console themselves
all together as bc ; they can. But %yen this is not
all. Letters cro ssini on their way must be added
to all therother crosses of the Papacy. The POPE
stoops to consign to perdition the anonymous pam-

no use--'
