FRANCE-A pamphlet, entitled The Pope and the
Congress, signed by VI de IA Guerroniere, had been
published, and attracted great attention both in
France and England, as it was believed to express
the sentiments Of the Emperor Napoleon. The pam
phlet IS written in a spirit Of Cancellation and COM
promise, and although II does not propose TO take
away the temporal powers Of the Pope, it advocates Il
c~urtallment Of them, and urges that the Romagna
should not be restored to the Papal domain. The
object Of this important semi-oficial paper is to de-
mOnstrate that while it is desirable to maintain the
temporal power Of the Pope, that aim can be best
achieved In curtailing his dominions by the excisiou
OF the Romagna, and by instituitng administrative
reforms in the remaining States. The opinions thus
pronounced are understood TO be those which will
govern the action of the French delegation in the
Congress, and are regarded by the London Times as
an adhesion TO the policy Of England.
