the head of the church and the Catholic King
of Naples the stereotyped abuse and historical
lies, Of which no one can command more op-
ulent copital than the present premier of Eng
land. What a study of incongruities do you
present in your official personalities You
appoint Catholic chaplain in Ireland. and at
che same time you try to unpope Pho the Ninth
in Italy, You give liberty of Catholic wor-
ship in gaol IN Ireland. and you denounce
Catholic doctrine on the continent You pro-
tect a Catholic convent at home, and you de-
molish all conventual life abroad You lick the
ground after Catholic Emperor in France,
and you spit in the face of Catholic King In
Naples! Your words are all peace. but your
sct'cas are ell discord You ase the advo-
cate of all constitutional law at home. and
you are the personal friend of all the reyolu-
tionists abroad You advise universal calm,
and you always appear as in storm. Your
Iordship resembles +" Mother Carey's Chick
ems" on sea; you are the harbinger of bad
weather; your appearance foretells disaster;
you delight in shipwrecks; you live amid de-
serted rocks, and you grow fat on the dead
bodies cast upon shore-nit tunl dispar siJi.
In my conscience | look on your conduct
during the Russell administration as the prin-
cipai cause of the continuation of the present
war You encouraged the Revolution of Hun
gary by perfdious promises of English coop
eration-you drove Sardinia into war of
usurpation-you kissed the hand of Kos
suth, the most unprincipled political wretch
in existence-your spies maGgned the reli-
gion, the laws, the customs of Austria
your press slandered the court and the Empe-
ror, and you have. by policy peculiar to
yourself, as the Captain Rock of Europe, driv-
en- the enmity of that Catholic Empire into
unmitigablc revenge against England and,
as if to add mockery to your republican poll
cy, Lord John Russell is sent to negotiate
peace, and to induce Austria-this most in
suited and outraged kingdom-to enter into
coalition with England while it is notorious
to every diplomatist in Europe that Austria
would prefer coalition with Russia, or with
any nation ON the earth, sooner than form
national alliance and trust the known perfdy
of England. say you have incurred the ir-
radicable enmity of Austria-you have pre-
vented an alliance with her-you have lost
her assistance in the present struggle-you
have given strength to Russia. and in my soul
l look upon you, from your revolutionary
conduct, as the principal accomplice in the
destruction of the allied armies of the Crimea
Has it ever occurred to your lordship, in
reading the continental journals. in studying
| the speeches of ministers, and observing the
conduct of cabinets, that you have never heard
any abuse of the Queen of England-never
observed any officer of any court advise the
contiscation of what you call your church pro-
perty-never knew any ministerial papers to
be paid for unceasing calumny of the English
court, of the English religion, of English
manners? And, again, has the idea ever
presented itself to you, that no Catholic coun-
try has employed lying Bible-readers,
has ever nired clerical slanderers TO visit the
houses in England. or in any other Protestant
country, and by tracts of blasphemy, by a
| forge of infamy, passing all eredibility, prom
ulgating lies against everything Protestant? ?
| One moments reflection will teach you the
contrast between England and Catholic Eu-
rope on this irritating subject; and if Gas
can assure you) Catholicity feels deeply woun-
ded by this lying practice of ihfdel Protes-
tantism, will you tell me how has our gracious
| Queen been able, at her late visit, to look
France in the face, or how can you have the
hardihood to rsise your eyes in the presence of
your master and England's present superior,
the Emperor Napolean? BE assured, my
lord, these are questions of deeper import
( than strike the eye at first sight. You ridi-
culed France when you thought France was
weak. You now fatter France when you see
France is strong. Yodr press despised the
| Emperor when you fancied he was an outcast,
and now you fawn on him when the canon Of
| Boulogne is heard in Saint James's and the
| Champ de Mars, under French sun and a
French sky, reveals the glancing sheen of one
hundred thousand lifted spears in the presence
of your Queen But. then, the royal entente
coraiale is a guarantee for future peace =
aye-when England found it her interest to
| strike France, she did so, as an expiring voice
| from ST. Helena has told and, believe me,
when France shall find it her interest to re-
turn the blow, that same voice will sotind in
| the ears of France like the summons of resur-
| rection and arm millions of her children in
coats of steel to ayenge the national stain. or
advance the imperial interest. Aye, entente
cordiaie! Pshaw Wait, my lord, till the
Crimea shall be evacuated-wait till France
takes possession of Asia, and plant her eagle
on Turkish soil frmly-and time viii tell the
tale-that your petty auxiliary battalions
| with their stupid commanders in dreamy SEN
ility, shall be ordered home by your imperial
master, giving to England, of course, some
commercial advantages, but keeping for France
the possession of the soil lchich she alone ha.
scon, and pushing her conquests aud their rea
