Italian Affairs-The Pope.


Baltimore Patriot of Saturday evening, 18th inst,
brings us still later news
Italian Afars-The Pope
Like many of the greatest men that have ever
aided in reforming the world and in establishing
the rights of men, the present Pope is not what Is
called " a man of genius that is OF intellectual
genius. The same remark, in the sense here used,
would apply to Washington. and to some others,
who are second only to Washington. But the PoEe
seems fitted, in an extraordinary manner, for the
work that is to be done in ltaly--the work OF tree
dom. His heart is right, and his motives are pure
He has that lofiest kind of courage which belongs
to simplicity and faith.
By the Britanna's news, it is stated that the
Foreign Secretary of the English Government, Lord
PaImerston has notified the Austrians of his deter
minatiop to consider any further attempt on the part
of the latter to menace the Pope as "a declaration
of war" against the Fast Anchored Isle it2elf. II
this be true, it speaks well for the spunk OF the no
BILE Secretary! Knowing as much OF dPlomacya as
any one must know who is ordinarily conNersant
with public affairs, one cannot exactly give LORD
Pamerston, or the British Cabinet, the credit OF
Observation-Disclosures in their proceedings upon this mat
ter That they have some object In view, there Is
no doubt. But that makes no difference as to the
fact, which certainly is honorable to the govern
ment.
The protection of the British, however, will be
an effectual shield to the Pope, in his moves to-
wards reform. II now remains to be seen how far
his Eminence will proceed in these reforms, and
how they will affect the interest of the Italian peo-
pie. That he has the good wishes of America is
matter of course. North and South will alike hail
the development in the ancient Mother of Freedom
of that liberty which she has since pinned for so long
To CORRESPONDENTS correspondent who
desires to remain " sub rosa, may send along his
communications as fast he likes. We have not
the least doubt they will prove acceptable. But
will he be good enough to write side of the
paper only!

Short tales or sketches (never to exceed two col
umns,) will suit us.
