INTENDED ABDIcArloN or TIE PoPE-THE PROBABLE
CREATION OF THREE CARDINALS FOR TrE UNITED
The following letter, dated January Is, is from
the Roman correspondence of the London Times -
You may remember thai. in my Correspondence
upon Civia Vecchia, in May, l849, while yet the
siege of Rome was undecided, and the restoration
OF the Papacy sHcertain, | more than once limited
at the possibility OF Plus TX. retiring from public
lie, and abandoning tor ever the cares of state,
my information then from parsonage who knew
the most secret thoughts of the Pope, and who
more than once had received his confidence on
the subject. II is true that the resignation did not
ttH place, and, therefore, that exposed myself 10
the charge of having listened to those who had an
an interest in leading me astray. But have never
doubled my authority, and if | am not now again
grossly deceived, the prospect is nearer It's accom-
pIis than any OF us have imagined | am
told, in a high quarter, that Pho Mono, more than
once during his residence at Portci, stated to the
cardinals most la his confidence, that he had Sc
nous thoughts OF ahdcating, and that, il such
step could be reconciled wi the interest of the
church, he was prepared TO take it ]; but that the
cardinals, though the vista Of the POpedom was
opened to each, were unanimous in condemning
The measure as untimey, and entreated hici to re-
nquish the idea. War" they said, at least till
your restoration to the Quirnal, and do not give
Mazzin and the republic the triumph of boasing
that in your person they have destroyed the Pepa,
CIV, and that your abandonment of place and
power was caused alone by them" The Pope
allowed himself TO be persuaded by this reasoning;
but am informed thar, since his return to Rome,
double force, and that the cardinals, seeing how
strongly his Hind is bent that way, are less nds.
posed 10 accede to his desire than they were al
Naples. Nay, am assured that the question is
al this moment the subject of their secret councils,
and that matters have proceede far as that the
convent where Plus IX. means to end his days has
already been named. The fact is, Pho Mono is
not man suited 10 his position; he is religious
IN his life be ond that which the severity Of mo-
nastlc rule, in his opinion, insures hear, like
wise, that he isdeepy sained al the results of the
liberal policy which he was the first to introduce
in the Peninsula, and that he hollis himself respon-
sibie to the Almighty for all the evils that, in
sequence OF il, have fallen on his native SOIL have
always Understood that the Pope is in heart what
is called "a true Italian and that his supposed du-
ties as sovereign have been, since 1913 in con-
fict with his opinions as a man. He sees now
that there is no hope for Italy without further
boodshed, and, ere the struggle be recommend
ed, he wishes to retire from all further re-
sponsibility. | have no doubt but that every
word | now say will be regarded by many as
pure invention, and that when this letter finds its
way TO Rome it will receive immediate contradict
ton in the official gazette but you know me too
well not to give credit to what WRITE or 10 doubt
for moment the soundness of the nformation on
which act For my own part, see no other way
for this tine country, ald people worthy OF better
fate, escaping from their present difficulties. No.
thing short OF revolution can procure good govern
ment or rather root out the evils that are inherent
IN the present order; and happy il will be for the
ton be moral, and not physical, and that while the
spirit OF good Is maintained, the abuses that now
prevail may be efiectuaty eradicated. While Pho
Mono reiens nothing can be done, because he ne
elected the opportunity OF making sound reform
afforded him by the overthrow of the republican
party and the favorable disposition Of his French
allies and because he has not availed himself of
the protection afforded by Austrian and French
INTO II as much OF public representation without
which no form of government can last-as is con-
sistent with the rights Of property What maytake
place under new Papal sovereign time alone can
show; but all reasonable people here are desirous
OF change, as all hope of amelioration is extinct
under the system that now prevails
The same writer says" am credibly informed
that Cardinal ADtonelli is at this moment engaged
drawing up an erpost DIES motrc TO Justify the late
measures taken for the establishment of herar-
chy IN England, and that this document will see
the light upoR the opening of our Parliament. 1t
ir, am told, ably and modes;ly written, and the
auiher entertsins hopes that its publication will
tend TO mitigate the excitement that now prevails
with you. am further informed that Antonelli is
Tar from approving the precipitation with which the
measure, 30 cautiously prepared, had been ushered
into lite, and he deplores that the matter was not
done IN another shape, that the same steps trere
