LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1881.

In America, in England, in Hungary, in the
kingdom of Italy, leading public men have recently
been suddenly removed from the world of political
action by the stroke which so impartially visits
the rich and the poor, the high and the low—but
the deaths of DOUGLAS, of CAMPBELL, of TELEKY,
of CAYOUR, were not of a kind to affect seriously and
immediately the course of events. The death even
of a SULTAN is not likely to cause any direct change
in the political relations of Turkey, It would seem,
however, hardly possible that it should be so with
the death which is now looked for from week to
week, if not from day to day, or from hour to hour.
Pius Ninth, who has for some time been appa-
rently yielding to the effects of age and anxiety,
appears now to be in such weakness that his re-
moval for medical reasons to his country house is
impracticable, Those who surround him seem to
do their best to conceal the real state of things ;
they wish to shape their plans as well as they may
while he yet lives, but it is understood that unless
a change little expected takes place, he will soon
be numbered with his predecessors. Indeed the
less public information points to the conclusion that
the Papal infallibility is now in the custody of a
Regency, owing to the melancholy weakness of the
pontifical mind.
Should the event be what is so confidently ex-
pected, it must surely be an element in the turn of
the present crisis. Louis NAPOLEON will be mas-
ter of the situation. He will be able almost to
nominate a Pope. At least, if Rome is to remain
the Holy See, he can say on what terms the Chief
Bishop of the Roman Catholic section of the Chris-
tian Church shall retain the palace:and Cathedral of
so many predecessors. He will be somewhat checked,

it may be, by the intimation that if he be too ex-
acting, net Avignon, but Vienna or Madrid may be
the dwelling place of a new Pope. But that would
not be liked by the Pope's spiritual subjects. They
are Roman Catholics, or they are nothing. Apart
from the Holy -figment of the fisherman's chair, and
keys, and seal, there are half a score of Bishops with
equal pretensions to the Primacy of Latin Christen-
dom. The French EmpEßou knows well this
advantage, and will know how to use it. The only
thing against him is the waywardness of ecclesi-
astics. He may nominate a BECKET when he sup-
poses he has but nominated a tool. If hebe crafty,
so are Italian cardinals: His best hope will lie in
carrying the election of a man of strong common
sense, if such men are to be found among ecclesi-
astics ; a man who will co-operate with him in re-
pressing Ultramontanism among Gallican. Bishops,
and who will accept the facts of the case in regard
to the temporal power of the POPE.

That is now emphatically the point of difficulty
between France and the Kingdom of Italy. Venetia,
France is only indirectly to blame for. Even at
Villafranca it was certainly open to the EMPEROR
to say that he could afford no more French blood
for Italian liberty. At Rome all depends upon his
mere will. At no cost, rather at a saving of ex-
pense,
he could leave Italians the capital they must
soon have. The death of the present POPE will
certainly facilitate the settlement of the Roman
Question. No successor will derive any personal
sympathy from a reign of strangely mingled
amiableness, tyranny, and suffering, lie will not
have inherited a patrimony which he can feel
pledged to maintain, for nearly all is vanished
before he will enter on his Bishopric, and the small
remainder of temporalities has long been in the trus-
teeship of the French army, with a life interest for
the poor old POPE. The definite terms on which
the EmPu.oß will surrender his trust are now
published. "The French troops will continue to
ozenpy Rome so long
b
as the interests which
France to Rome
are not covered by

guarantees."

What are those " interests,"
and what the
g, guarantees ?" They are, of course, the subject of
the present earnest correspondence and diplomatic
conference between France and the King of Italy.
Baron itic.ksou seems to interpret the EUPEROR'S
meaning in his reply, when he says, " our wish is
to restore Rome to Italy without depriving the
