of the Piedmontese troops into the Papa
States, ard was engaged to prevent the bonn
bardmens of Ancoua. After this declaration had
made good deal of noise md its truth h1d

Au'sneli, charging, FIRST, that War Minister Bishop

and Indignantly viruOusl thirdly that it was sur
uIsinCly improper for the POntfcal Government to

ioarnal. Finally the angry Duke tells the Cardinal
that the misstatement must be rectifed, or else ne
fthe Duke) shall take his own measures 10 make
the truth known to the public, whose knowledge IT
was the evident purpose of the official journal OF
Rome to darken Whether, now, scared by the
wrath of the Duke, or by threats OF the TRUTH COM
ing out or glad of chance to do an Ill turn TO the
French General and to the Belgian Bishop whose
sbrisk foreign way of doing things, and authoritative
interference have always offended his Italian habits
and excited his Italian jealousy, the Cardinal ordered
the official journal to rectfy the article in question:
by stating that the words " by force were mol III
& the dispatch of the Duke of GTamOnt. The Con-
. xfitutionnd here in Paris had already been told to
say that the words "by force" had been falsely AT
tributed TO the Duke and did so say, in Nj. Grand
guillot's grandest style
But what the Duke and Grandguillot, and prOba-
bly, their common master, were angriest at, was not
after ALL that Iamoriciere. or MerOde, had added
the words "by forces" it was that Merode or
somebody for him, had flched the real dispatch
which Lamoriciere publishes word for word in his
article Now il is perfectly true that this dispatch
does not say that the Emperor viii oppose the
entrance of the PiedmOntese troops by iorce; but
IL does say that the Emperor wrote from
Marseilles to the King of Sardinia, that if the
Piedmontese troops enter the Pontifical territory
a. he shall be forced to oppose them.
The French Government nil not tolerate the out-
a. p0ble aggression of the Sandman Government"
This cannot be explained away public attention
cannot be distracted from it to q side issue which Is
false issue for the worst that can be said against
the War Bishop and the gallant battering ram OF his
militant flock is, that they interpreted the dispatch
enormously. Considering the passages just quoted
from it. one would say that their Interpretation was
natural enOugh certainly not strained gloss
But fscts are ebee that Wilma ding
And donna be disputed"
This dispatch from MaTseillcs repeated from the
French Embassy at Rome early an SCpteAabtr is one
of them: an snfant terrible now that it is let speak
out.
1t is evident enough (and this is the important
side of the case) that at that time Louis Napoleon,
despite all his shrewdness and great ability and
long foresight, did think that the Italian national
movement could be stopped. Then often be-
fore within the past eighteen months, he under es
tmated its force Earnestly deprecating, as il
most natural, III his double character of enemy to
Revolution and of continuation of traditional French
policy, that he should, the formation of strong
united Italy, of grand Mediterranean Power, he
thought that here was last chance Of preventing
ing Italy in subOrdinatiOn TO France. But grant
that this opinion of the motives of his letter is a
mistaken one. 1t is certain that at that time, as
YOU will recOlect about that time noted in this
correspondence, the Pope was inspired with fresh
new confidence of being protected in his temporal
tiles. 1t is probable that the inspiration came
from this unlucky declaration, made, indeed, only
to the French EmbassadOr, but hlched from the
telegraph Office, that PiedmOntese invasion was
culpable and would not be tolerated 1t has been
tolerated What is more, In parts OF the Papal
Territory garriSOned by the French, as NiterbO, the
popular voting for Victor Emanuel has been going
on simultaneously with the popular voting in Um-
bria and the Marches But what isstill more wOr-
thy of note is the very angry and arrogant tone Of
the French Minister'S letter to AntOnelli. There
has not vet been such imperiOus official talk to the
address of the Pope from France. Louis NapO-
Ions vexatiOn at the obstinate ingTatitude of the
Papacy for protection and its obstinate persistence
is not reforming is getting the better of his hered
tary Dutch pblegm
There has been great coil alsO about the French
Admiral lie Barrier de inan's Intervention the other
say TO prevent the PiedmOntese Admrals supporting
by bombardment disembarknent of forces from
sea the operations of the Italian land troops against
the forces of King Francis. There is some doubt
AS 10 the real state of the facts, doubt which the
Official Monitur is silently careful not to clear up.
The truth seems TO be, in the main, nearly this;
PiedmOntese Admiral sails up ready to support Pied
,nontese land troops; French Admiral sends word
that he must not viii get brOadsided if he tries;
Piedmontese Amiral 'hOlds up for that bout, under
protest and two or three days later, having more
ships meantime saws: BrOadside if you viii;
a. shall not reDe the attack but shall do work OF
