naiure) he rarely opens his mouth without causing
pe,oeptbe shudder to circle electrically through
be Capitals and Exchanges of Europe. Why as it
hat everybody except his Pampered and iettered
parasites so uniformly miscOnceives his Intentions
and misinterprets his language
There is Italy, wherein he went to war for an
deo and made peace to secure its realization. The
Italians were to be "perfectly free" (ke the peo-
ple of Kansas under Douglass Nebraska bill and
Pierce's dragoons), only Austria was to reserve
Venice, the Quadrilateral, and the line OF the
Mincio, while Bombas son reigned at Naples, the
Austrian AIchdukes at Florence, Parma, and Mo-
dena, and that superb exemplifcation of popular
Sovereignty" the Pope, was to preside over ALL
And now Italy is to be left free to work out her
own destiny, with the AustranS crushing
yenets, a French Marshal and fifty thousand
veterans in Lombardy, another French army prop
ping with their bsyonets the Pope on his despotic
throne against the deadly aversion OF nnety-nlne
hundredths of his subjects the Duchies scolded for
not taking back their fugitive Arcndukes Tuscany
forbidden to annex herself to Piedmont, the Ro-
magma ordered not wholly to throw OIL
the Pope's supremacy, and Savoy claimed
as French province. The French slope OF the
mountain" do you bear, Belgium and Germany y
is to be the subject of sarrangement
{" reannexation" you remember, was our velvet
term for eutching Texas, which Encouragement
ought to alarm nobody since Savoy is quite d
small, insignificant country. Bat can the Nephew
of bis Uncle imagine that other people do not see
that other " rearrangements" are also Indicated
" By Nature herself" strkingy convenient Tor
Frances Can he imagine other peoples eyes
sealed TO the fac. that Brussels is far nearer to
Paris, and more important to France, than
Chambery that the French capital has been
many times menaced, and at least twice captured,
by invaders from the banks Of the Rhine, never
once by an army advancing " from the passes OF
L" the MARTINEZ Alps ?" If this Speech from the
Throne is to be accepted as sound in morals or
in logic then the Belgian kingdom is an impertl-
n.nce, half of Switzerland ought to be " rear.
ranged" into French departments, and the little
German kings along the Rhine ought 10 be packing
their papers and saddng their steeds for fight to
the Silesian Alps, if not to the Carpstbians.
In this speech, we discern no pretense that Savoy
seeks or desires any arrangement" or that Vic
tor Emanuel, however reluctantly consents to it
no suggestion of an appeal to the sufrages of the
Sayoyards. The complacent boast that he has not
resorted to underhand maneuvers" in aid of his
determination to tear from his close ally that duke
dom which is the cradle of his house and the most
defensbe of his possessions, is like thief boast
that he never picked pocket in church. "The
Great Powers" are to be cajOled into sanctioning
the robbery of Sardinia by her GO Great ally; her
consent like that of the Sayoyards is treated as OF
no possible consequence.
Outside of the blind, corrupt Spanish Court,
which seems to have utterly forgotten the perfdious
seizure by the Uncle of his Nephew of Charles w.
and Ferdinand VII, we presume that the publca
ton Of this speech strips the Nephew of his very
last cordial ally-if such he had-in Europe. If
the Russo Austrian alliance was not already fact,
we presume that this speech cements it.
AS to "the emotion of portion of the
Catholic world, which Napoleon protests against
as 50 "incOnsiderate" and 80 passionate" The
facts are in nutshell: Austria, or Spain, perhaps
even Naples, would speedily reinstate the Pope in
the plenitude of his power and dominion, II France
uOsA just get ont Of the way. That is all that is
asked or desired of her; and that she won't do.
The Pope's temporal dominion has long been up
held by foreign bayonetsin fact was reestablished
by French cannon, playing upon the firesides and
tie monuments of the Eternal City herself. And
as, one good turn deserves another"-no sooner
had Louis Napoleon accomplished the audacious
perjury, the kideous perfdy and butchery by which
ba tod 10 +ha thrcu han has ia
10 hail him as his every dear son in Jesus Christ
and the whole Hierarchy sang pseans to the Savior
"of Society,"" the cOntryer and heir of the mas
sacIes of December I'd. 1t was the Papal bishops
and clergy who mainly engineered the election of
l.. n. b. to the Presidency it was the Papal favor
and blessing which seated him firmly on his blood
bought throne. Is he tho man to boast Of what he
has done Cor the Pope and the Church He may
gag them within his own domnions, but they are
none the less conscious that for all he has done for
them he was generously paid, and paid in advance.

event of ls59-far more mOmentous than Magenta
