tone Of The Papal Bull, of which we published
the greater portion of the text, on Tuesday,
hardly comes up to what has been the popular
expectation concerning the character of this once
formidable instrument of the Papal power. In
stead of cursing VIcToR EMMANUEL, personally
and by name, in soul and body in his members
and his homes, at bed and board, in house and
field, living and dying, from the crown of his
head to the sole of his foot, according TO the an
cient and generally-approved formula in such
cases, the POPE simply places under the ban
Of the Major accommodation, and mathematics
generally the 'invaders and usurpers of the
''Pontifcal Provinces, - their aiders and abettors
Apparently, therefore, the Bull is aimed at LOUIS
NAPOLEON as well as VICToR EMMANUEL-at Eng
fish and American sympathisers with the Italian
rebels, as well as the seditious and contumacious
Romagnese themselves. 1t communicates peo-
pie generally. 1t takes in everybody-''a those
''who have taken part in the sinful instruction
''in our provinces, in usurping, occupying and
''invading them, as well as those who have been
''their warranters, supporters, helpers, counsel

openly expressed or tangibly manifested. Ano-
Their and equally noticeable feature about the Bull is
the comparatively limited publicity which its con-
tents have obtained. In the very countries whose
inhabitants it most concerned, its publication has
been forbidden by law. Count CAvoUR has cau-
toned the clergy in Sardinia against reading it
from the pulpit or posting it at the church-doors
while an official note in the loniteur gently re-
minded the Partisan public Of that provision of the
C0ncordat which forbids the publication, in print
or pulpit, of any Roman bull brief, rescript, &C.,
without the previous permission of the Govern
ment Absolutely, therefore, but for the English
papers, the Bull would scarcely have been heard
of-the thunders of the Vatican would have been
inaudbe. The only circulation its text has had has
been through their columns and those of American
Journals, whose information is derived from them.
Through the enterprise of Mr. REUTER-, whose
agency bears to the English journals the same rela-
finn that the Associated Press occupies towards
napers here, it was telegraphed to London-there
published-and thence copied into papers on this
side. In the city of Rome it was published by

mob precauton which proved entirely un-
necessary, as few persons testified any curiosity tc
read it, had not the fact of its being couched in
the toughest of Church-Latn, put it out of mos
persons power to do so. The French papers; in

Steele in anticipation of the PRONUNCIATION of tn,

in another column, and which was subsequently dis
