THE PAPAL EXCOMMUNICATION.

The following text of the excommunication has
been received at Mr. Reuters office:—

" Apostolic Letter of our Most Holy Master Pius IX..
Pope by the grace of God, by which the punishment of
major excommunication is inflicted on the invaders and
usurpers of some of our Pontifical Provinces.
PIUS P. P. IX.
" To the Eternal Memory of this Matter.
" As the Catholic Church, founded and established by the
Lord Christ for the everlasting salvation of mankind, has
acquired the form of a perfect society by its Divine charac-
ter, it ought, therefore, in the fulfilment of its sacred minis-
try, to possess that freedom by which it may not be sub-
ject to any civil power. .And furthermore, in order to ob-
tain that the Church required those guarantees which were
in accordance with the conditions and necessity of the
times. It was, therefore, in accordance with Divine Pro-
vidence that, after the fall of the Roman empire and its
consecutive division late several kingdoms, the Romish
Pope, whom Christ has established as the chief and the
centre of his whole Church, obtained temporal power.
Therefore it has been ordered by God in the wisest manner
that, as such a great number and variety of princes exist,
the Holy Pope should enjoy that political liberty which is
so much wanted in order to exercise his spiritual power,
authority, and jurisdiction in the whole world without any
impediments. And therefore it was necessary that the
catholic world should not have any reason to suppose that
the Romish Pope is subject to any influence of temporal
powers, or biased in the exercise of the religious powers
which the Holy see has to fulfil over the greater part of
the Christians. It is easily understood that the dominion
of our Roman Church, although having the appearance of
something temporal, nevertheless is really of a spiritual
character, by the holy destination which it enjoys, and by
the close ties by which it is connected with all Christian
affairs. But this does not prevent that all those things
which conduce to the secular welfare of the peoples may be
obtained by the Church, as the history of the temporal
reigns of the Roman Popes during so many centuries shows
most clearly. The general good and welfare of the peoples
being increased by the temporal power which we are allud-
ing to, it is not astonishing that the enemies of this Church
endeavoured to weaken and to embarrass it by many in-
trigues and all kinds of attempts.
" In these impious attempts they were vanquished sooner
or later by God, who always defends the Church. The
whole world knows already how during these sad times the
adversaries of the Catholic and Apostolic See have made
themselves detestible by their attempts, which were cha-
racterised by their lying hypocrisy in trying t 3 deprive the
Holy See of its secular powbr. They could not obtain their
end by an open attack, and by force of arms, but only by
false and pernicious principles, by cunning dissimulation
in their conduct, and by maliciously provoking popular
risings. They did not blush to counsel the peoples to sedi-
tion against their princes, which is clearly and distinctly
condemned by the apostle, when he says : Let every soul
be subject unto the higher powers, for there is no power
but of God ; the powers which are ordained of God :
whosoever, therefore, resisteth the power, resisteth the or-
dinance of God, and they that resist shall receive to them-
selves damnatien.'* These wicked innovators, in attack-
ing the temporal power of the church and its temporal do-
minion, and in despising its venerable authority, go so far
in their impudence as to feign esteem for the church and
obedience to her commands; and it is the most to be de-
plored that some of those on whom, as sons of the catholic
church, the duty was imposed to protect that church and
to maintain its power, have sullied themselves by their
wicked acts. In these mischievous and perverse intrigues,
which we deplore, the Sardinian Government has the prin-
cipal part, as it is generally known how much in that king-
dom the church has suffered injuries and restrictions which
we have already vehemently lamented in our consistorial
allocution of the 22d January, 1855. The Sardinian Go-
vernment has until now despised our just reclamations, and
has even dared to inflict on our church great injury and to
attack its secular power, while according to the will of God
the Holy See of St. Peter's, as stated above, ought to be
protected in the liberty of its apostolic office. The first
evident signs of the hostile attacks were seen at the Paris
Congress of the year 1856 ; when that power, among other
hostile declarations, proposed to weaken the temporal power
of the Pope and the authority of the Holy See. But last
year, when war broke out between the Emperor of Austria
and the Emperor of the French and the King of Sardinia,
no fraud, no sin, was avoided which could excite the
inhabitants of the States of the Church to sedition.
Hence instigators were despatched, a great deal of money
was spent, arms were supplied, excitement was created by
bad pamphlets and journals, and fraud of every kind was
employed, even on the part of those who were members of
the embassy of that country at Rome, without any regard
to honesty and international right, as they pretended their
dignity, in order to be enabled to misuse it, to pursue their
dark projects for damaging our Papal Government. When,
then, in some of our provinces the sedition, which for some
time had already been entertained clandestinely, broke out at
last openly, the agitators directly proclaimed a royal dicta-
torship, and commissioners of the Sardinian Government
were immediately appointed, who then, in assuming other
titles, undertook to govern those provinc es. During these
occurrences, we, remembering our serious office, did not fail
in our allocutions of Juno 20 and September 26 of last year to
complain loudly of these violations of the temporal power,
and to remind the violators of the punishment and atone-
ment which are imposed by the canonical laws, and which
they become liable to. It might have been expected that the
originators of these violations would, in consequence of our
repeated admonitions, abstain from their unjust projects,
especially as all the chiefs of our holy church, as well as the
faithful believers of every rank, dignity, and class, joined
their own protests to ours, in order to defend unanimously
the rights of the Holy See and of the Church in general, as
they very well understood how much the temporal power,
which is made questionable on this occasion, is necessary
for the maintenance of the Papal power. But—we shudder
in saying it—the Sardinian Government has not only de-
spised our admonition and complaints, and our religious
resentment, but, by persevering in its wickedness by force,
money, threats, terror, and other cunning means, they ob-
tained the universal vote in their favour, and dared to in-
vade our provinces, to occupy them, and to subject them to
their power. This is a great profanation, as rights of others
have been usurped against the law of nature and of God ; every
law has been overthrown, and the bases of all temporal power
and human society have been undermined. We perceive on
our side, with the greatest grief, how useless would be all
further complaints against those who, like deaf adders, close
their ears, and who do not listen to our complaints and ad-
monitions ; and on the other side we feel what the cause of
our Apostolic See and the whole catholic world requires,
for stigmatising the attempts of those wicked men in order
not by tarrying to prejudice the dignity of our grave office.
It resulted that, faithful to the examples of our illustrious
predecessors, we exercise that authority which gives us the
power to loosen and to bind, in order to employ the neces-
sary severity against the guilty, and to give a salutary
example to others.

" Having invoked the light of the Holy Spirit in private
and public prayers, and having taken the advice of the
reverend brothers, the Cardinals of our holy Romish
Church, we declare, in accordance with the authority which
we hold from Almighty God and the most Holy Apostles,
Peter and Paul, and also in accordance with our own autho-
rity, all those who have taken part in the sinful insurrection
in our provinces, in usurping, occupying, and invading
them, or in doing such deeds as we complained of in our
above-mentioned allocutions of the 20th June and 26th
September of last year, or those who have perpetrated some

* St, Paul, Ep, ad Rom., c, ziii, v. 1, et seq.

of those acts themselves, as well as those who have been
their warranters, supporters, helpers, counsellors, followers/
as well as those who connived at executing the above-men'
tioned deeds under whatever pretence, and in whatever
manner, or who perpetrated them themselves, to have taken
on themselves the atonement of the major excommunies'
tion, and religious punishment as they arc determined in
our apostolic constitution, and by the decrees of the general
councils, especially that of Trent (seas. 22, chapt. 11, 00
reforms), and if necessary we excommunicate them ate'
we anathemise them, further declaring that they are to lose
all privileges and graces and indulgence which they
enjoyed until now from the Papal predecessors, end
that they cannot in any manner be released or absolved
of these censures by any one except ourselves, or the
Romish Pontiff then reigning, except at the moment
of death, but not in the event of their recovery'
when they are again subject to the above punishment, and
are unable to receive any absolution until they have re'
tracted, revoked, and annulled, and abolished in public 011
►hey have committed, and have brought everything back
fully and effectively to its former state, and have given
complete satisfaction to the Papal power. Therefore, all
those who in the remotest manner have participated in
those deeds, and also the successors in their offices, sr°
liable to such revocation, retraction, abrogation, and aboli-
tion of the above-mentioned sins, to do so personally,
reality, and in truth, and to give the full satisfaction they
owe to the Holy See, and under no pretence to be released
and freed, but to always remain bound by it until they ate
worthy to obtain the benefit of absolution ; thus we declare
by the present letter.

"But in being obliged by sad necessity to fulfil this 131°
of our duty we do not forget that we represent Him on earth
who wishes not the death of a sinner, but rather that be
should be converted and live, for He came into the world
to seek and to save those who die.' Therefore, in ferven
ti
prayer we implore and we ask unceasingly, in the mango°
of our heart, the mercy of the Almighty to enlighten by
the light of His holy grace, and by His Almighty virtue t°
lead back to the path of salvation all those against whoro
we have been obliged to employ the severity of the religion'
punishment. Herewith, by this letter and all its content*
and all that has been said above, we order all who have par
ticipated in any way or in any manner, of whatever rank'
dignity, or class they may be, or whether they are indivi'
dually mentioned or not, for whose sake the present letter
has been written, and who are not sufficiently designated, or
who for any reason or pretence whatever should doubt the
signature or the value of this letter, or who should h°
brought before justice and should appeal against it, or Irh°
should ask for grace, that this document is, and shall al"
ways remain and be considered valid, and shall be invari"
ably and incontestably observed by those to whom it refer*
they shall be responsible before every judge or deputy'
also before the auditors (canditores) of the apostolia
palace, and before the cardinals of the Holy Roman Empire,
and before the ad later* legatum and nuncios of the Re,
and before all who possess or will possess similar power ;
and they shall be deprived of all faculty and authority °I
judging or interpreting, and that if they do, it shall be de'
dared invalid. As the present letter, as is well knoll,
cannot be safely published everywhere, and especially
such places where it would be most required, we will tlll4
this letter, or copies of it, shall be posted on the doors of ill°
Lateran Church, on those of the Church of the Prince of
the Apostles (basilica Principis .Apostolorunz), on those of
the apostolic chancery and general curia (curia generalis),
in Monte Citatoris, and at the corner of the field of Moro
of the city, (in acie campi Firm de urbe), as is usual, and
the so posted and published letters, and each of these letter°
shall have the same power upon every one whom it evil"
corns as if they had been presented nominatim and per'
sonaliter. We order that translations as well as copies of
the printed letters shall be signed by some public notary'
and sealed by some person who holds an ecclesiastic dignity'
their testimony shall be receivable in every place and ill
every country, as well in courts of justice as in any other
place ; they shall be as valid as if they were presented 02
delivered personally.

PROTEST OF THE GRAND DUKE Of

TUSCANY.

The protest of the Grand Duke of Tuscan/
against the annexation of his dominions to Sat'
dinia is published at length in the French papers'
Its senee is as follows :
As long as he hoped that respect for treaties and soil
meats of justice might still prevail against intrigue and
ambition, he had maintained silence, but recent evelita
tending to the destruction of this house and the happio°
of his people, render it his duty to speak and appeal as
Italian sovereign to the justice and loyalty of the Elir°'
pean Powers.
When in the beginning of 1857 the dissensions between
France and Sardinia and Austria made war :seem imminent,
the Government of Tuscany hastened to announce its sou:
trality to the Powers of Europe. This proposition, agree'
to in Vienna, was about to be accepted by the other Power*
when, in consequence of the events of the 27th of Aprils
diplomatic gave way to revolutionary action. The move'
meat was long in preparation by the Pielmontese Govern'
meat, and its emissaries arrived at Florence on the 2601
and 27th, and at once took the direction of the insurrev
tionary movement, and the command of the Grand Duelli
troops.

The conduct of affairs was then entrusted to the Marcltti.
of Lajatico, but he, on repairing to the Sardinian Legation,
the headquarters of the insurrection, found that the abdi-
cation of the Grand Duke was under discussion, and, being
unable to defend his authority, he himself presented Ilia
sovereign with the act of deposition.
In presence of this outrage the prince, whose genera°
intentions were so cruelly misunderstood, was forced to OW
cult his personal dignity, and refusing to submit to the ti_hiP°
dication required, he protested against the violence to will'
he was subjected, and withdrew from the country.
The war soon led to the armistice, and the preliminarl9-
of Villafranca, which specially provided for the restoration
to their States of the Sovereigns exiled by the retolutioet
and for the formation of an Italian Confederation. At
moment Leopold 11., wishing to remove all traces dangle°
t
disagreements, abdicated the crown, and the Grand Dulc:.
Ferdinand was recognised by almost all Europe as the leg
timate Sovereign of Tuscany.
The treaty of Zurich, signed by the King of Sardinil
consecrated again the rights recognised at Villafranca;
a new event had intervened. The revolutionary authoritis"
of Tuscany, docile slaves to the government to which the'
owed their existence, had convoked an assembly and vote
their annexation to Piedmont. Thus, by a disregard of e',l
public law, a government, bound by the word and signettf
of its king to preserve a strict neutrality towards, if not
support the Grand Duke, so far neglected its sacred (14'
as to excite a factious manifestation against his authority'
and while the Emperor of the French, faithful to his Pro'
Wises, was advising moderation, his ally, profiting by
presence of the French army, was pursuing the policy °
invasion, the last phase of which is annexation.
Before facts like these silence is no longer allowed. '11:1
Grand Duke protests against acts, the very principles of
which wake them null and void, against the violation
treaties, against unworthy manoeuvres, against the en3131°.,1:
ment of these new means of usurpation of the votes of port.
lar assemblies. He appeals to the sovereigns of EuroPel.,
the justice of the Emperor of the French, and to the Tusc
themselves, who have enjoyed a prosperity of which
..they.
were justly proud for more than a century under his faratile,
If they have been deceived into believing that their index

department. The Grand Duke concludes by hoPinf, The

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY :E V-ENING, APRIL 6, 1860.

AUSTRALIA.

(From the Correspondent of the Times.)
MELBOURNE, FEB. 17,

The Northam, with the December mail, bearing London
dates to the 19th, reached Nepean Bay on the sth inst., and
Melbourne on the 7th. By the use of even the broken tele-
graphic communication to Aden, our local papers now
favour us with eight or nine days' later news. This time
our intelligence reached the 28th of December. When Puck
proposed to " put a girdle round the earth in 40 minutes,"
he would have been deemed equally absurd, and not quite
so poetical and fairy-like, had he limited his pledge to half
the earth, and extended the time to 40 days. Yet that is
now habitually accomplished, and we know with absolute
eertainty that to do the thing in 40 minutes is reduced to a
matter, not of impossibility, but only one of very great
difficulty and of somewhat discouraging expense. To
my mind, the only reasonable definition of the term " diffi-
culty" is a thing to be overcome." We have, at all events,
by the enterprise of the pres', 'got the thing reduced to 40
days. Fill up the hiatus in the Mediterranean line, and
we have a further reduction to 33 days. Let that work
well for a while, and I am still sanguine that a communi-
cation will "ultimately be completed to Australia in the
way I have before pointed out. On the day the Northam
touched at the South Australian mail station (Sunday, the
sth) the Great Britaia steamed into Hobson's Bay. She
sailed from Liverpool one day before the Northam left
Southampton, and arrived here nearly two days
before her, thus beating tho mail by nearly ono day.
Her passage was made in 55 days and 16 hours. I
believe tho Simla made her first voyage out to join the Red
Sea line in 55 days and 15 hours, but there is a dispute
between the respective owners and agents of these vessels
about an hour or two. In the meantime the unhappy fate
of the Royal Charter and her living freight has raised the
objection by many that the intense greed of the owners of
rival lines to accomplish " the shortest passage on record"
must greatly increase the risk of life. Of this there can be
no doubt. It is really awful to put the proposition broadly
—that the wholesale sacrifice of life in the Royal Charter
was part of the price the world pays for enormous speed.
Can any one doubt that railway travelling at 40 miles an
hour involves a greater risk of accidents eceteris paribus,
than a speed of 20 miles an hour ? Yet speed the world will
have, with all its risks. It is, however, satisfactory to know
that there are going hand in hand with this same speed
other improvements—other compensations, which have un-
doubtedly rendered travelling by both land and water safer,
on the whole, than it was in former unimproved times, in
spite of the occasional occurrence of an appalling disaster
such as we have lately had to mourn.

On Sunday, the 22d January, we were visited by one of
the hottest of all the hot winds we have experienced for the
last five or six years. It is difficult, bywords, to give any con-
ception of these scorching blasts. I can only compare them
to the high-dried and heated air which has passed over the
surface of melted metal in a foundry. Various thermome-
ters in different situations marked in the shade 102 deg.,
106 deg., 108 deg., 111 deg., and at Castlemaine 116 deg.
These differences are to be accounted for by the interven-
tion of some slight circumstance calculated to moderate the
heat of the blast before it reaches the instrument. For in-
stance, I have found that the wind passing under a veran-
dah will be reduced in temperature by the time it makes its
exit, and if there be creepers around the verandah—a very
common thing here—the disturbing effect will be greater.
If the creepers be wetted, so as to keep up evaporation, the
temperature will be lowered many degrees. In 18,55 I bad
an opportunity of measuring very carefully, and, I believe,
accurately, the temperature of the hot blast in the shade,
and in a spot which the rays of the forenoon sun had not
reached. The thermometer was insulated, was not in the
way of radiated heat, was protected by an angle of the house
from the N.E. and N.N.E. sun, and exposed to the direct
action of the hot wind from the north (oscillating a little
to the eastward and westward). The degree then attained
was 117. I have no doubt that Sunday, the 22d, was as
hot in favourable—perhaps, you would rather say unfavour-
able—situations. It may be thought that this degree of
heat is unbearable, but it is not so. The wind blows hard,
the air is perfectly dry, while, with a calm or light air
from the S. or S.E., I have often found a lower tempera.
ture quite intolerable. I am very sure that 80 deg. or 90
deg. with a southerly and moist wind produces much more
lassitude than a hot wind of the highest temperature. I
have, however, seen the small birds fall and die, and the
smaller domestic animals do the same. On the late occasion
the gardens were desolated, ordinary vegetables destroyed,
shrubs stripped of their leaves, and the unripe fruit
literally cooked upon the trees. After two or three days of
hot wind, we invariably have a sudden change of wind to
S.E., with a great reduction of temperature. On the late
occasion the cool breeze set in at 5.30 p.m., and two days
afterwards wo wore shivering with cold, the thermometer
standing at 57 deg. Influenza has since prevailed to a con-
siderable extent, with an analogous disorder among animals.
There has also been great mortality among infants, and I am
assured that if birth take place during a hot wind, the child
scarcely ever rallies, the lungs seeming not to acquire power
to decarbonise the blood. It is also dating these hot winds
that the dangerof fires—especially bush fires—is very great.
The grass is so dry that the slightest spark is at once fanned
into a flame, which is carried over the ground with great
rapidity, increasing fear fully in volume in its progress. On
the Sunday to which I have alluded, an extensive bush fire
occurred near Lako Burrambeet, about 14 miles north of
Ballarat, which did considerable damage, marching over the
country at the rate of about 15 miles in half an hour, and de-
stroying stacks, cottages, and growing crops. One frightful
devastation of this kind, which occurred during a hot gale
in an unusually dry season (1851), has become historical as
" Black Thursday." The late bush fire was, fortunately.
of limited extent—that of 1851 was general over a great part
of the colony. The great extension of roads and cleared
land within the last eight years has very much diminished
the risk of these visitations, and the great density of popu-
lation affords better means of subduing them.

Although trade continues to be very depressed, the past
month has not been marked by any great commercial dis-
aster. There have been several insolvencies, it is true, but
thay are generally for moderate, and in many cases very
trifling amounts; and the state of commercial confidence is
decidedly better than it was when the January' mail left.
The state of the exchange has checked the transmission of
specie to Europe, and the banks have been much more
liberal in their accommodation. The quarterly statement
of the banks shows some improvement in the increased
amount of deposits in the fourth quarter of 1859 as com-
pared with the third quarter, the difference being £217,000,
while the debts due to the banks—chiefly for discounts—
have increased about £lB,OOO. Still there are features in
the commercial condition of the colony which afford grounds
for considerable anxiety, and which ought to operate as a
warning to shippers on speculation in England. These are
chiefly the decreased production of gold, and the continued
pouring in of goods upon an already overcharged market.
As to the supply of gold, we have long been anticipating
that the increased and still increasing application of machi-
nery, and the carrying on of mining on a large scale with
combined labour, would result in a considerable increase of
supply ; but that expectat ion has not yet been realised, and
the weekly returns still exhibit continued decrease.

Much of the labour which \vas devcted to gold min-
ing. 1141°2 " digging " was a popular pursuit now goes
to the production of consumable articles. Agri-
culture has greatly extended of late years. A large num-
ber of trifling articles which used to ho imported are
now manufactured hero. A great deal of cheap clothing is
now made in Melbourne. There are at least two manufac-
turers of lead pipes by improved hydraulic machinery.
Sawinills are numerous ; gristmills have also kept pace with
agi ic ulture. Marble chi inneypieces 'and ornamental parts
of mouldings for the best class of houses are made on the
spot. Iron foundries are springing; up on every goldfield.
All these enterprises supply on the spot articles which we
used to buy with raw gold. Thus, while we have less gold,
we really want less gold. That our revenue from all sources
keeps up is proof that production on the whole has not de -
creased. But by the English speculative shipper this new
feature, this gradual transition, so to speak, should be re-
garded as a special warning. Another evidence of the ac-
tivity of productive enterprise not necessarily increasing
foreign trade is afforded by the number of patents taken out
annually for improved processes of manufacture. They have
amounted during the last two years to about 100 per annum.
I have been informed that one trifling process for making
lace or gauze cap-fronts for women saves an importation of
about £40,000 a 'ear. A company is now at full work re-
fining sugar. The Argus, always usefully suggestive, points
out that paperrnills might be established with advantage, as
we now export a good deal of linen rag. This suggestion
of the Argus, whether sound in this particular instance or
not, shows the bent of the public mind. Yet, in the face of
this silent revolution in the channels of trade, the imports
of this year are about £350,000 in excess of last year up
to the same time, while our exports have fallen off about
£120,000.

There has been another great inter-colonill cricket match
between the players of Victoria and New South Wales,
'hich ended in favour of Victoria. Cricket, within the
fast few years, has become quite a passion in these colonies,
and is played with admirable skill, especially by the " na-
tive born." The public excitement on the late occasion was
very great. The Legislature could scarcely be kept together,
the b,•nks closed at 1 o'clock, the lawyers forgot their briefs,
the merchants abandoned their counting-house to swell the
10,000 spectators of the grand match; and, to say the truth,
Ido not envy the man who could not enjoy the scene. I
doubt whether better playing was ever exhibited at Lord's,
and there is some chance of testing this, for an enterpris-
ing body of restauratemv, who carry an that useful trade
gigantically, have proposed to import an All England
eleven at their own charges—taking it out, of course, in
the creature comforts that the 10,00) daily spectators will
consume.

Honour to Edward Wilson! The charm inesinging birds,
which he despatched by the Great Britain, have arrived
safely, with few casualties. Out of the 42 thrushes and 51
leaks shipped, no less than 37 of the former and 48 of the
latter have been successfully established in the Botanical
Gardens. Of 12 pairs of pheasants only 7 cocks and 4 hens
remain alive. They wore unexpected, as the Great Britain
arrived 24 hours before Mr. Wilson's advices of their ship-
meat,
