The POpe'S Entry in Rome.

The PoPc's entry into Rome has been
described as triumph, the people pros
tratng themselves on the earth, and beg.
ging him TO pass over their bodies. This
feeling W as far from being universal, if we
may Judge from the tone and temper OF
placard winch wss distributed in the
streets by thousands, as the Philadelphia
Ledger Paris cores spondent inform them.
The following is an extract from il:
Rejoice, o Pope Thou art at Roma,
thou art on the throne, thou art King -
Thou hast poured out the blood, Thou hast
caused to be poured out ihe blood, of men
whom thou hast called, and still callest thy
sons But rejoice, thou art King Thou
Pope, like other Popes, has delivered the
Iatherland to enemies, 10 foreigners. But
rejoice, thou art King Thou hast called
forth war and eXtermination in oroer 10
render the People of Liberty enemies TO
each other; thou hast given the name OF
champions and loaded with silver and
gold the cowardly deserters, the galley
slaves who fled TO Gaeta thou hast given
thy blessing TO massacre and then by All
infamous libel thou hast insulted the wo-
men who piousl y surrounded the bed Of
the dying.
"But rejoice, o Pope thou art King"
"Pius *, dost thou remember the
crowd palpitating with love for the father.

how to applaud thee at sunrise--thee, fu-
ture saviour Of Italy The poor man sold
his last garments to buy torches 10 mako

ism, flee thee, detest thee. 1t is no lon-
ger the multitude of patriots too crcdulous
and too generous, who surround and ap-
plaud thee, but horde of maiclactors and
spies, chosen by the clerical eye, skilful
in choosing the most wicked, the most
perfdlous. Rejoice, Pope thou art
King. But thou trembIest al the Vatican:

Thy presence augments the confusion.

we rejoice at it. We mock at thee, Pope

dated with blood, will remain barren; il
will never bring forth another Pope.--
