SrHr: Thave received Tie letter which your

and I replv 10 It without evasion and with an
opebbeart 10 commencing, do not hide from
mvsem hedificult position % your majesty !
SEE it IN all rs gravity Your majesty could
have this position BY some decisive measure
which, perhaps, eXcites yeur ~repugnance, and
Il is urecisslv because You find yourself In this
position. that yon advise ne again for tie
peace OF Europe 20 cede the insurgent provin-
ees. while assuring ne that the powers viii
rusrantee TO the Pope those which remain to
bin.
A project Of this nature presents insur-
4 mountable difficulties, and to become convinced
of It is sufficient 10 reflect upon my situation,
nv sacred character, and the rights OF ne Holy
Sre-rights which are not those Of a dynasty
but Of an Catholics. TIE difficulties are in
/ srmountable, because | cannot cede that
which does not belong to me, and because / see
rbutt too clearly that the victory which would
b. efven TO the revolutionist Of the Legations
would SERVE asa pTetsxt and encouragement to
the native and foreign reTolutionists OF TIE
I oiher provinces to play the same game, seeing
tie success Of the FIRST; and when ] say reyc-
! ttionists = sneak Of the least eonside able and

Your Majesty makes the repose OF Europe

Lsraffons which for fftv years have caused
90 much embarrassment 10 the Pontifeial Gov
eminent but as I promised in beginning this
letter to speak openly, let me be permitted e
retnfn % the srgument. Who can count The
rrvoiudons which have occurred in France
I during the last &C ysars9 But at the sane
time who will dare 70 say to the great French
nstion, hat for TIE repose Of Europe i !.
na-esssrvto restrain The limits Of the empirei
Tie argument proves too much aeeordingiy
1 permit me 10 nriect it, And moreover, youi
/ Majesty is not ignorant with what persons
with what funds, with what support the late
attempts at Bologna, RaEeaRa, and other cit
lee, have been made. Almost the entire popu.
hti0n remained terror stricken at The move

were not disposed 70 follow. But your Mai
tsty Observes thai, IL had accepted The pro
iect expressed il the letter which you sent M
