chief qualifications, probably. in the
eyes Of Cardinal Autonelli, from
whom this petty insult to the EN-

his marked hostility to Louis Napo-
leon; for, with Changarnier, the gen
eral has been staunch in making
no submission to the Imperial Gov

when he could do so Internationally.

is said TO have accepted. A Neapo-
