Is not derived alone from its contents, but from
the bend which inspired it, which is now con-
ceded by the entire press OF. Enrope To- he no

The Imperial pamphieteer does not say pre-
usely bow the Pope is to be fed and clothed,
when, like poor old Lear, his train hrs been cut
down or cut up by bis ecclesiastical daughters

to About, IS the Vatican and little garden !;
but the seni-ehicial organs here propose fixed
tribute, to be collected from all lie Catholic
Powers. 1fthe Pope is to be sho1n Of his tenn
poralltles, and ut the same time 10 retain auy
sort Of independence, this is not only tue OBJ.
vious, hut the only plan that is practicable. At
tue same time it must be rery unwelcome

elevation Of the Pope 10 the Presidency of the
Italian Confederation was the eagles elevation
Of the turtle, the present scheme for making
him depsndent for his daily bresd upon foreign
powers completes the trip, and practically drops
him upon the most conspicuous rock.

1t is generally considered dangerous thing
for man in high place to write much. If any
statesman ever took a1f the risks uf such habit.
the Emperor Of; France is that man: but he
seems to strengthen himself by every new e1-

reason, arc proud Of his official co,nfuu,,ca.
