The latest intelligence from Rome is not OF a charac-
to r5-assure the p4rtsans Of the temporal Papacy
thrown into alarm By the recent pamphlet of NJ de Ia
6ueronnere I. appears that the continued pres
ence OF the French army of Occupation does hot restrain
frequent exhibitions Of the popular sentiment in favor of
speedy union with enancipated Italy, under the Consti-
tutional Government Of King Victor Emmanuel But,
Whatever may be the faults OF the Legitimts aud ultra
Catholics Of Europe they are certainly faithful to their
principles and one of the most remarkable evidences of
this fact IS the obstinate tenaoity with which the advisers
Of tue Pope adhere TO the policy of no concession,
though they be supposed to ignore the ameoia-
ons which would result to themselves by granting in
dispeusabe reforms, and adopting the eounsels OF the
Emperor Napoeca.

come more violent than since the publication OF the
dispatches addressed BY the Duke de Gramon TO the
French Foreign Office recCuutng his interviews with the
Cardinal and indicating that tie Roman Government was
resolved TO carry on, its uncOmpromsing policy TO the
bitter end l. is however proper TO mention that the
French utramonsane organ lie Monde, has published An
article 4, cla that Cardinal Antoneh does not recog-
rzs himself In the cclCquies described by the Duke de
Tra6Cnt and will soon give the world his side Of
be story Although il will be impossible for the Chief
OF the Roman Cabinet 20 aer papable facts which could
ouly have arisen from the Popc resolution to make 10
to his sua cts the report OF the Cardinal
