ment when every other country bestows such hon.
ers on the Sovereign Pontinl BY maintaining
legation at Rome, it will be seen that we have not
broken off with the Holy See, aud that we may still
hope for cordial reconciliation.
M BUoNcoMPAGSI.-The government has incur.
red no blame in its negotiation with the coart OF
Rome. In Catholic country difference between
the government and the church generally leads 10
division between the clergy and the laity. Conse-
quent1y 1t is incumbent the govel nment 70 LABOR
seriously to re-estabish desirable harmony,
without, however, conserving to any sacrince de
rogatory to the dignity, independence ana iberty OF
the nation. II IL well known that II the court OF
Rome does not take the initiative Of concessions, 1t
nevertheless makes them at the seasonable moment.
All the events which have occurred since the reign
OF Plus " demonstrate it, 1t is difficult, but not
impossible, TO attain that result. We will arrive at
il BY prudence and moderation.
M Observation-Disclosures would be very advisa-
bic, if we had before us an adversary animated with
the came sentiment But since Dante, history has
taught us that Rome has been the most inyeterate
enemy of Italian independence.
M. RATAzzI, keeperof the Seals - We
are not here called upon to examine
the Italian prin ,iple, the principle of nation
atty. The church has nothing TO do with the ma
tonal tricololed flag. When that flag is menaced
the ministry II be found in the advanced guard to
tive success of the negotiations with Rome however
great may be the difficulties to overcomei
Mr. FAEIhI.-lhe POPE is an Italian Prince, with
whom our government should maintain friendly re-
lations. II ministers permitted me to give them
advice, should recommend them to renew diplo-
matte relations with Naples, for Italy never be
too closely united. All those who desire the dignity
and welfare Of our noble Italian country must think
as do. The jurisdiction of souls belongs to the
spiritual power The civil power, in order to be in-
dependent, has no right to encroach on the privi-
legs OF the spiritual power Let US not forget that
Rome is the rendezvous Of the representatives Of
the most important ~ ties in Europe OF princes,
Ambassadors. comni' aries and writers OF every
country and that il exercises influence not to be
dreaded and which everybody is bound 10 respect.
NJ. CAvouR, President Of The Council-The gov
ernment has shown tie greatest prudence in its ne
gU;iatons with Ron C. When Rome evinced friendly
dispositions toward the Charge dAlfairs the latter
was elevated to the rank of Minister, and Rome
appointed a Cardinal. The Chamber cannot intend
to psral, re negotiations which are likely to lie at
tended with satisfactory result. In Canada and
the United States bishops are chosen BY The HOY See
tcithot arr net renton on te PAT IF their govern
nenfs. My should we not subscribe to similar
arrangements The appointment Of n Minister in
Rome is in nowise derogatory to the national honor
Every government is more or less under the neces
sity OF negotiating with Rome. We do not profess
an absolute and excessive deyotedness to the Holy
see, but we entertain for it the respect it Is en-
titled to.
N. DErRE1rls-I move a reduction of 1000
Ilvres on the credit required for the legation at
Rome Should ten of my colleagues second my
motion, W III demand the appel nominal.
Many members the left having risen to support
the proposition, one of the secretaries called
the names of the members. al were present, and
1873 took part in the ballot 80 voted for the reduc
tion, and 100 against it. The reduction was ac-
cordngly rejected and the Assembly adopted the
credit demanded by the Ministry.
