The Constitutional, in an article signed by
N Lemayric, says:
For thirty years the imperial government
has defended the papacy, but it isnot reasonable
to conclude from this that it intends to maintain
the papal government forever. If France con

the papaey, she also considers it her duty to re-
sDeet the liberty of her people. The court of
Rome, and the journals which are devoted to it,
affirm that the Roman government is loved by
its subjects; it is therefore, necessary to protect
it against any external attack. The papal power
being secured within by the wishes Of the inhsb-
itants, aud protected from without by a formal
declaration of France, whose word Is as good as
her sword, there is no longer any reason for the
occupation of Rome by French troops"
