The Pope and tie Congress.--A pamphlet ell.
titled 1.-THE Pope aud the Congress-" signed by
Nj de IN Guerroniere, hus been published, aud
attracted great attention both III France and
England andit was believed to express the sen.
tirnents of The Emperor Napoleon. The pam.
pale, is written in u spirit Of coucia,iop and
compromise. nnd although i: does not propose to
take away the temporal powers oi the Pope,
it advocates n curtailnent of them, aud urges
that tile Ronnguu should not be restored 10 the
Papal dominious
The PARIS Constitutional, in an article signed
by it's princi pul ediiot. approves in general the
contents OF the pamphlet, declaring, however,
its intention to combat soine of the propositions
made by the author.
The London Times concludes leader or the
subject by snying: On the whole, we have read
| this pamphlet with considerable salisfactIon.--
II is very probable that the Emperor Of the
French lns for some time hesitnted hrtweem Aus
tria and England. hetwe-n liberal and a reac.
| tionary policy; but we read in these sentence,
the promise Of d cordial understanding between
the Two countries in the coming deliberations.
We have arrived, though by very different
! courses, ut the same practical conclusion. w e
| leave others 10 cavl Oh forms and ceremonies =;
| enough for us il there is reasonable probub'li.
| ~ that the two great European Powers will be
found arranged side by side in defence of ihe
rights Of the Italian people, and that Protestant
England will hnd hearty and efficient support
| in the Emperor of Catholic France.
The Morning Post questions il the Pope will
| accept the new position assigned to him by the
French Emperor, und asks. should he refuse, how
far his IcI',sal will be supported by other Cath.

The Daily News says the opinion expressed in
| the pamphlet on the question Of restoring the
ltomngia to the Pope will he approved hy the
| British Government and people. France will
not use force to compel people to submit Ia

| will not permit Austrn to euterfere.
