Peninsula which hardly agrees with his recent state
ment that it was limited to very small number OF
intriguing. restless faconists and that all he asks
of the Catholic world in the way of assistance is
their prayers; which does not agree at all with the
appeal of his recent encyclica letter to much more
vigorous manifestations.
The Italians themselves seem to be generally per

Military preparations in Nenea and military prep

was quite nOn-essentia to the rights and glory &C.,

has been diligently quoted by the present Napoeonc
and Liberal papers, the Constitutional among the
| number, as good argumentum ad homneIa, and
good argument too against the ultramontane
prelates of the day. But DupanlOup does not spare
either argument or man, and accuses his deceased

more than of God, before his eyes. If Monsiegneur

us reason to suppose, and if MOnsiegneur Dupan-

Cousin, going down stairs, are reproduced by the
distinguished prelate, nearly as follows:
"Materiaist and Atheistic philosophy may rest in
