EMANUEL AND ANNEXATION.

Lad already been allowed TO gravitae 70 the forming
mass of Italian power and the appearance of the
decree which annexed them to Sardinia would have
caused but slight sensation But this formal state pa
per is accompanied by declaration which start
many who have accustomed themselves TO believe that
there was real power latent under the threatenings
and lamentations that came 10 us from Rome. This
King of halfformed kingdom, osten,atiously
deserted by bis great protector, denounced as
sasrilegiOus robbeT by all the adberentB of the old
Pspacy throughout ChJsten1Om, and bitterly hated
by every nation which, like Austria and Spain,
makes religious bgotry the spring of lite civil system
advances calmly TO seize province OF the States
Of the ChuIch as an English soldier would walk up TO
take Jewel ont of the head of Indian idol. When
Fs1ni lays before Victor Emanuel the result Of the
sufrsees his mstter declares his acceptance not only
"of the States Of Modena and Parma, but also Of the
"Romagna, which has already separated itselt from
"the Pspal Government Initiating the prompttude
of his great confederate, the King of Sardinia has
probably already put his troops in motion to take pos
session "a his new province. There is always grea.
virtue in possession but at this crisis accomplished
fact s especially strong in its nertness. Who shall

Whist voice will be strong enough to call to arms the

hood has already well nigh eaten them upi Rumors

in ceremonials, packing up for journey TO
Rome in the hope of seeing the unwonted forms OF
an accommodation Of a Sovereign Prince. Victor

it would be but byword and a jest. TIE faithful

However, Massaroni himself could not pocket
booty with more pOiteness than does Victor Emanuel
accept the Romsera. The expression Of Sardinia's
deep devotion" must be very gratifying to the Holy
Father when, looking round upon his new Austrian
leves he comes TO the conclusion that they are not
numerous enough to chasse his ateciona.e but rather
predatory soD. When the King declares that he Is
ready to defend the independence Of the Supreme Min
lister Of Religion he must nspre great confidence in the
College Of Cardinals, and whsn he promises to pay
homage to the Sovereignty of the Pope he is probably
as welcome as q gang of housebreakers who should
TaDsack your cellars and drink yonr health in the
tents of your best bins. But some few words
in this speech which we print efewhere that have a
tribute to the spendor Of the Papsl Court. Now, as
Victor Emanuel cannot be so cruel lost TO all
for bis personal convenience as to propose appear
ing at the Pspal Court and discbargng this promise of
contributing to its splendor by bis personal ecat
he must mean that be win contribute in money. He
must propose to himself not only 10 acknowledge the
tUar suzersinty of Pho Nono but also 10 pay him an
annual tribute. If such should be the intention of this
very determined marauder, the Pope might do many
worse thing than orego his very probematical expe-
dent of Communication, and accept the position
offered him. The homage is indeed, not very sub
stantia matter bat perhaps it may 90 for something

for that ieryd zeal which has enabled Dr. Cullen 10
collect from the Irsh people for the service of the
Pope Uearly as much money as they pay weekly for
travelling along some Fix miles of railway, yet, upon
the whole a regular stipend paid annually from the
Treasury at Turin or Bologna will be much safer in
come to count upon than all the Peters pence that can
be extracted from the pockets Of the faithful
Tie Romsgna ia gone from the Pope as irrevokably
as Savoy is gone from Sardnia-we will not yet add
Nice TO this category although we have not much hope
that the municipal council Of that city, even with the
aid of the three EDgsbmen whom they have acknowl-
edged as their champions will be long able TO struggle
against absorption. In this speech Victor Emanuel
says nothing Of Tuscany but IL is pretty certain
that with come very tritng condition. Tuscany must
follow and that the work is done. The two great ad-
yenturers who, twelve months ago, went out together
to carve new fortunes in Italy, have now then got ali
that they for the present intend to seze They have
not only obtained their booty but they have secured
it. Their victims complain, indeed but promise to &C
auiesce. Austria undertakes soemny that, if nothing
more be taken from her, she will make no effort TO re-
gain what she las lost. She will fight for VeDe-
tia to the last, but, If Sardinia will only leave
her alone, she will be content The process of
ton is about to follow. Veneta has, indeed,
been left in bondage; and we must all feel sorry for
that beautiful city and that lively race But there is
no hope for her at present; and, although placed by
little TO the contamination of that unity in which she
is not to share. This Kingdom of Northern Italy has
yet its trials TO go through before the States Of which
is composed shall have Lost all municipal feelings Of
rivalry and independence. II may yet be not without
its uses that when Milan feels jealous, or Florence
thinks slightly Of Turin, unpopular Ministers stir
the hot blood Of these Italian races, Veneta may be
there az a monument and warning, These are not
reflections satisfactory to Venice but they embody the
necessities of the present crisis and they counsel Sar
dnia while she gathers together her acquired booty
to be satisfied 70 enjoy it IN peace. That this Is the
Provinces Of Italy which are thus happily emsnc-
mated from tbraidom, is manifest; but no modera-
lion in the rulers Of Northern Italy Will give promise
of peace to the whole of that Peninsula vesuvius itself
