by be Bavaria which we published yesterday,
emo by 'he Vanderbilt, which we publish to-day,
We learn that he brst movement of revolt In the
Pspsi S'stts. Of which we bsd news q week ago,
has assumed formidable proportions. and that
from Bologna the fsue Of revolution has ex
tended to Ravenna, Rimini and other cities in
the Papsl dominiOnsL This turns cut exactly ~
we predicted on Tuesday last. Not only have
the AnstrisDs been compelled to evacuate the
principal cities and f0rtresses In the States of the
Church, but the people have arisen in these
places and declared for the national cause. The
Pope has sent his Swiss birelings to Perugia to
put down rebellion, not trusting to his Italian sub
jects or Italian soldiers to fight for him. But
how little chance can this handful Of merceDaries
have Against the people, now that the Austrian
'egioDs are out of the way? Were it not for the
presence of French troops Rome itself would be
now revcluticuized, and the Pope would have
been again an exile at Gaeta or some other
stronghold Of Nsples Napoleon holds the dogs
of revolution in his leash; he bias only to let
hem leose, and Rome is either ones more re-
public or has pronounced for King Victor
Emanuel But the time has not yet come for re-
volution at Rome.
We are informed, by correspondent of the
Paris Unicns that the French Emperor sent back
deputanon from Bologna, which visited him
after the revolution OF that city, bidding
them obey their sovereign the Pope. and to
remember that be (Nspoleon) had not come
into Italy to lessen the Pope's power, but to
make it respected. Coupled with this there il
"a rumor" that deputation had gone from
Bologna to the Pope to ask his pardon
for the recent revolt. News coming FROM such a
source is to be taken with grain of salt. The
U,lires is very doubtful authority on matter in
which " the wish is father to the thought" But
if deputation has gone from Bologna to the
Pope, it perhaps speaks only for itself, or for a
very small fraction of the people. And if Ma
poleon has given the answer to the Bolegnese
oeputation which he is represented to have
given, it is evidently suggested by prudence in
present exgencies, and it is no indication of his
Intentions as to the future. His designs may
eureiy be better determined from his deliberate
address to the people of Italy, after the victory
of Magenta, published by his own authority, than
from any vague hearsay conversation reported
without voucher for its authenticity. In that
address--an address to the whole italian people
without distinction-he says that he had come
" to render free the most beautiful land in Eu-
rope, and that no obstacle ehoud be raised to the
tree manifestation of their Legitimate wishes" II
this is not telling them that they may choose their
own rulers or their own form of government, there
is no meaning ia language. From correspond
ence of the British Ambassador 1t appears that
Napoleon promised at A'essandria, in reply to
message from the Pope, that che would respect
the neutrality of the Pope's dominions as long
as it was respected by the Austrians." Just So
But the Austrians have not respected 1t at all, and
the Vienna correspondent of the London Times
says that "recent events show that the neutrality
Of the domains of the Church is not likely to
be respected by tho Emperor of France"
But the best key to the designs of Napoleon
is the denunciation which he Is receiving
from the Catholic bishops in Vienna, Ire
land, and New York-from the very dignita-
ries Of the church who, at the time of the coup
d'ftat and as long as he appeared to shortsight-
ed and narrow-minded ecclesiastics likely to be
a despotic monarch, ruling the people with a
rod of iron and REFRESHING the outbursts of hu-
man liberty around him, were loud in their
praise of the Catholic Prince" In this
country, from Brownson's Rerie0 down to the
meanest little sheet, the Catholic press defended
his acts and covered him with laudations. Bio.
graphies of the most eulogistic kind were issued
by the Catholic publishers, and the affairs re-
BOUNDED with paans and hosannahs to his name.
BE was almost deided, and had he died then, be-
fore he fulfilled his mission, he would have been
probably canonized and enrolled in the calen-
dar of the saints.
This is all changed now. On Saturday we
adverted to the fulminations of the organ OF
Archbishop Hughes. In the news from Europe
which we publish to-day there is still more re.
markable manifesto from Catholic bishop in
Ireland, who follows his primate In the metropo.
Lis, as no doubt other bishops in this country will
follow their metropolitan in New York. DIR.
Leahy-for that ia his name-asks, "What soye-
reign In Europe can plead better title to his
dominions than the Holy Father to his?" We
answer none, for all their titles are not worth "a
red cent" They are founded either in force or
fraud-not in the will Of the people-and the
Pope's is to be classed in the same category with
the rest. The Bishop Of Cashel says it is more
ancient than any other, and that the Pope
got bis kingdom entirely by peaceable means.
How, In the face of the Catholic historians
which he must have read, this Catholic prelate
could make such an assertion, is beyond our
comprehension. Certain it is that be calculated
largely upon the ignorance and credulity of
those to whom he addressed his pastoral. All
who know anything Of history know that King
Pepin, in 1865, conferred upon the Pope his tenn
poral dominions, and that before his time there
were numerous kings and kingdoms in Europe.
