on accomplished facts and leave the Pope and his
supporters to their remedy.
The Daily Ne,os remarks that the proposed Con-
gress is indefinitely postponed and that no friend
of the cause of freedom in Italy need regret the
temporary difficulty in which diplomacy finds it

of the Italian States, and justi6es their revolution
before the world.
