THE PAPAL STATES.

The following address TO Gen. dc Lamoriciere has
been prepared by the inhabitants of Ancona:
On the 9th of March last, coming from Belgium,
gou landed, General, at Ancona Your appearance on
the s6f OF Italy was careful vailed IN mystery. AT
first we disbeheved the rumor that the hero Of Africa
be whose GLORIOUS sword had been tried and proved
20 many fields Of battle, was goiog like conspiraor
TO the Apostolic Chancelere 10 pun himself st the
vice and constitute himself defender of the worst of
Governments-thst OF priests.
But incredulity longer possible. On the
solemn day Of Easter you General, instead of pray
ing accepted sword from the hands of Cardinal An
toneh and from the palace of Monte Citorc you de-
clared war against the revolution. On the day when
every Catholic approaches another for reconciliation
when all men feel that they are brothers, you came
and called us lsamites But why Because, accus-
toned to gain your glory on the soil and over the peo
pies of Africa, you wished TO persuade yourself ana
she world that you had not come here 10 night against
civilization and the wishes of renascent people, but
against people who by their nature and passions are
in no respect superior 10 the wild horses led 90 oy
Abd-el- Kader. Did you by this expect 10 find leglu
mate affinity between your past glory and that which
YOU propose TO acquire OF Italian ground But re-
nect we pray, that if Italy, supported by the arm o.
that generous country which was your cradle Is en-
deavorng 10 recover her independence to JOIN again
her scattered limbs TO acquire her freedom, she Ii not
DESTROYS of destroying religion, OF overthrowlng tue
aaTs but the contrary seeks and finds IN the Dr.
vine law the reason for her just wishes and her future
greatness.
Doubtless there was at period not very remote, a
revelation that proposed itself the overthrow OF all
religious principle substituting for 1t at best the God
dess Reason, as conceived by perverted minds. Such
an overthrow might Justly be regarded worse than
abe invasions Of Islamtes but yet doctrines Of this
nature were the foundation which was built up the
greatness of the Orleans and 'ur own. These dec
Trines repugnant TO the good sense Of the Italians,
were able 10 prevail at period OF bewilderment In
France but they cannot take root with US, who, while
infan ed with love for our Italian country are AT the
same time devoted 10 the faith Of our fathers, which
imposes on us the duty of loving and respecting him
who as supreme pOnuf raises aloft its standard upon
the summit of the Vatican.
What, then. is the true object you propose to your
self to attain by combating what you are pleased TO
call the revolution That of restoring Greece to Fur
key, or Belgium to Holland That of replacing Lom-
hardy under the abominated dominion of Austria Or
is against happy brethren the Romagnols, that
YOU are directing crusade, BIKE second Godfrey de
Bouillon? But what have they done, what are we
doing, sgainst you p? Where Is their heresy, where
Irofknation of temples; where are there Caiyniss,
where ATans
Come, General be loyal az you were formerly val
LIANT Can you call the sustained efforts of people
revolution-of people that In seeking by every pos.
sible means TO regain liz Independence DO you call
revolution this imp a. sire which impes all the
parties of a nation divided hitherto TO group, to
constitute themselves INTO one homogeneous whole so
that they may he euaLled 10 call themselves the Italian
nation This is the feeling, believe it, that makes
every heart throb tbat aoimtes us, that will enable
us 10 pie under foot every obstacle opposing the
ACCOMPLISHMENT Of the great work to which every
italian OF sense and courage has devoted himself
In word, do you come a. our enemy Well, be II
30 We accept your chel eDge, aud when wanted shall
be against you. But indulge in tue hope that the
truth may enter your niGd fro the bad organlzs
tion and Discipline Of this Papa army, collected from
the refuse OF tins and other countries you may have
learnt appreciate the teidencles Of our government
and the miseries th,s populations who afdenty de-
sire the day of their redemption.
Should you st peIsst IN regarding our present att
tude of silent ecetOn through the vail that blinds
YOU the din of Italian may perhaps convince you
hereafter that you seeking Ia gaiG bere the aures
you once gath, i'll bal barOus regions aare which
are sullied and wItbered you Drew your sword
for caute entirely opposed your ancient principles
and political faith.
