THE SUN.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JAN. 14, 1860.

What a perplexing perplexity is the Porn
When shall we have done with it, and with him ?
lie 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 ultramontane 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 EMPEROR, 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
POPE'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 whicia, were any attempt made to de-
prive them, their howl of " persecution," "g-
-ranny," and "intolerance" would resound from
the Orkneys to Naplos 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
