The war which has been 10 long brewing be-
tween the Paral and the French Imperial gor-
ernsuents may be said, at last, 10 HAZE fairly
broken out. the speech OF the Pope On New
Years day, to Gen. de Goyon, who came with
his staff TO of!eE the salutatious Of the SEA on,
The "0puscule," Us the Pope terms The Ter
gres It Le Pipe pamphlet, and which lie say may
be defined ~ monument Of hypocrisy aud q
sad picture Of contradictions" is as indisputa-
bly, the work Of the Emperor of France as any
thing which has been attributed to his pen since
the empire
For the Pope to address such compliment
on the Emperor's uudress performance to one
Of his generals, at the moment representing his
own person,is is IN indignitv which he will not
forgive nor allow to 20 long unavenged- Indeed
it is reported that Marshal Canrooert is to 20
Immediately to Rome to arrange for the with
drawal Of the French troops. This is quite
probable, and more swift and elicacious ven
| geance than this the Emperor could hardly de-
sire, unless the relations between the Pope aud
his temporal subjects are much more harmoni-
| ous thnn are generally suppo:ed.
To call the Emperor hypocrite aud a liar, as
the Pope does mostunequ.vocally IN stigma:i-
zing his pamphlet ga monument Of hypocrisy
and a sad picture Of contradictions" was bad
enough, but the insult is greatly aggravated by
the covert menace which Immediately follows.
After praying that its author may be blessed
With light to see the error Of the doctrines he
has been preaching. the Pope says be hopes,
mar, he is persuaded, thnt the Emperor, "by the
MD Of these lights, will condemn the PRINCIPLES
contained in this pamphlets" and adds: 81 we
are the more sure Of it as we have for some time
/ possessed some picccs which bis Majesty has
had the goodness to communicate to us which
are condemnation Of these principles
The .pieccs-qa<lqats pitcts--to which aru-
sion is here made, is the second reference which
the Pope has made personally to the letter o,
the Emperor, written just before he set out on
bis 1talian campaign, and which the Pope con
strucs into . solemn pledge to guaranty bis ter
rltory from any disturbance or disiDtegration il
consequence of the war. Wrote you an account
Of this letter last fall. It is alluded to for the
first time by the Pope in his a!locution IN June
been raising 81 monument Of hypocrlcy ant
] painting Sad picture Of contradiction as hi
'dcarest son in Christ Jesus" 4 compliment t
the prodi.al which gave his elder sen Of Austri;
unspeakable disgust.
The Pope evidently intends, if necessary, II
publish this letter, though he acts IS if it coult
be more etfsctiye.as he describes it than il sub
tnitted to the world for their Interpretation
The answer of the Emperor will probably be
that be engaged to protect tho Pope from IN,
loss oltc.ri.ory by invasion, but not from au,
losses that Resulted merely from driving Austri

icy now is and will be that the rapal govern
ment must be independent OF tho military sup
port OF foreign powers. lit will reconcile il
laws to the wishes Of its temporal subjects,
may have SO nlucll territory aud as many sui

first Of which is tile diminution OF its tempora
power.
