charge that the French aggresaons in
Mexico are made under the auspices If

mean the combination Of Pspal powers
against Republicanism and Protestant
ism; and that the illumination Of Amer

tinent by the Papal despodsm at Rome
and the other despotisms in the same in
terest
These are tina charges we have made,

able to-day to present one installment Of
proof to sustain our position.
The Vienna Prssse recently contained
the following curious article on the re
lations of Rome With the new Mexican
empire, which has been translated from
the Austrian official organ for the New
York Ereniag Post The significant
portions are italicized
"The Mexican monarchy is intended
not only TO react against the Anglo

casion will be made a Cardinal Al
Merode was not on good terms with the
French, it is thought, too, that his dis.
tant appointment will be satisfactory to
the Court Of the Tuilleries.
Bot greater concession made to
France will be the speedy elevation al
the approaching consistory Of the Able
Lueien Bonaparle, long a resident o.
Rome, and the camerisrc Of the Pope, L
the rank Of Cardinal.
