THE POPE. 4

A gentleman, lsays the London Cou-
ricr of August l5th) just arrived from
France. states, that 1t is generally sup
posed a, Paris, that his H. = ess has at
length been induced to yield to the per-
suasinns snd seventies which have SO
long been made use of to render him
more tractable to Bonaparte, and that
the first act BY which he would be call
I'd upon to maniteft this disposition
would be by giving his benedic,ion to
he new KINGDOM of Poland. The Ca
holic Religion being the national rel'-
g'on of Poland, it is supposed that the
Establishment Of the nation will be
highly gratifying to his Holiness, and
that he will readily second Bonaparte,
BY giving his sanction to the measure:
1t is said at Paris, that the Pope will
0cnceforth reside in that city. as being
the grand capital of Catholic Europe.
