Correspondence Of The n. r Tribune.
ROME, March 81, 1860.
p Well the long expected bull of accommodation
Of Pope Plus TX. has at length appeared, signed,
posted, ard dated March %.
1t is written in two long columns, in the Latin
tongue, of course, and posted both pillars Of the
| main entrance to st. Peters.
| Net having time to zee it in the afternoon, /
went early in the evening" aud seated upon the iro1
| railing around the pillar, by the light OF saow
| candle, spelled it out at my leisure. Two gend'
sTmes and two officials of higher rank, whose busi
ness appeared to be to watch this document,
gathered around me as | was striking my match,
and at length asked me what intended TO do;
upon being satisfied that only wished TO read and
not to burn the document the left me to proceed
unmOlested.
In the opening il is vindicatiOn Of the temporal
power exercised by the Pope, how derived; OF
eOurpe from GOd and how defended, of course by
accommodations and such like. Having proved the
divine origin Of its authority il is prepared to use in
the second division Paus words upon this point of
obedience, found in Romans, chap. xiii, first, Sec
ond and third verses, the chapter and verse being
marked down whh great distinctness The words
are these: 81 Let every soul be subject unto the
higher powers, for there is no power but of God;
" the powers that be ore ordained of God; whose.
ever therefore, resisleth the power resisteth the
" ordinance of God; and they that resist shall re.
"ceive to themselves damnaton." A very happy
quotation for the purpose required. Being fortified
by scTiptDral authority, the third division pro-
ceeds to nyeigh with great severity against all
those who have had any hand in bringing the Church
into her present diiulties; against those who have
sent emissaries to excite discomfort il the POpes
dominions; who have sent gold for the same unholy
purpose, or have furnished arms for bis revOlted
~ f..ll, aha Of nf.ao
which the Holy Father has suffered at various
times from the various great powers, especially dur
ing the last eighteen mOnthsuntil forced on by the
power of this historical review in the middle of the
second column, the terrible sentence of Punishment
from the bosom of the Church is pronounced. No
names are mentioned, and it is simply aimed in
brOadsde kind Of a way against all and every one
who he's had share in any of the acts specified
abO7e-furDishiDg Of arms, exciting discomfort, &c.
The curse, as friend expressed it, is drawn
rather mild" The objects are not cursed in bed
and board as such were wont to be Of old. They
are now shut out from all em0luments of tbs
Church. from ell her blessings and her benedictions,
and in the next world the keys of heaven turned
against them. Then follow few tears and express
SONS OF great sorrow at the unending evil the Holy
Father has been compelled to infct upon his dis
Obedent children, and general call to oil the faith
ful to pray without ceasiDg that these repfobates
may repent and be received back again into the
Church
II But that this may not be too easily done, the
next clause provides that no forgiveness shall be
granted either by this Pope or by his successors
unless the offenders "peTi0rm works meet for re-
is make full and complete resttu-
lion for oil the damage they have done. Then, pro-
vision being made for the posting of this document
upon the two Churches Of st. John Lateran and ST.
Peters il closes with flourish of titles and bene
d ctioDs. And the results are being awaited.
II is hard TO realize that this weak paper il the
snule in kind as once held such complete control
over every kingdom in ChristendOm. This old ar
tillery of the Papacy is getting rusty and, like all
Did instruments, may prove vastly more dangerous
70 the party using it than TO tho party against
which it is aimed. Victor Emanuel will hardly be
disturbed by the shot which is 80 clearly aimed at
i'm. If there is any power whatever in the piece,
I is most likely 10 be shown in the recOi; but II
AN hardly be expected to kick back with much
OTce.
And suspect that the Pope does not hope to ac-
omplish anything by it, lie uses it to keep up ap-
earnnces 10 preserve the symbosof his old author,
~ and, II the worst comes, TO die game. we al
ave sort Of admiration for man who nails bis
OIors and goes down with all sails get.
II will surprise no one, after this sweeping ex.
communications TO learn that the Pope is making
treDuous efforts 10 organize an army OF hls own.
his is in fact, necessary supplement TO the ex-
communication If tie Holy Father will curse bis
Id friends and supporters, hc must gather strength
nough oi his own ~ stand upon.
