talk here about the speeches addressed BIZ the
Pope 10 the English and Danish Consuis on the
occasion Of his visit to Civita Vecchia, that I
have been at pains to ascertain the exact words.
The Holy Father first spoke to the Consul of
Denmark, saying: "You represent, Monsieur,
q Power, the geographical extent Of which is
very limited, but which has astonished the
whole world by the noble courage with which
it defended its rights against those Powers
which abused their strength to destroy them.
Then, turning to the English Consul, his Hoi
ness remarked, England, Monsieur, die
wrong, very wrong, to abandon Denmark
which it was both her duty and her interest tt
sustain. 1t was proceeding which cannot b,
condemned too strongly, for it was fatal botf
to Denmark and Poland. If she continues il
such course, England will too late fud she il
degraded" The assembly thronged so clost
to hear these speeches that the pressure shool
: the platform Of the throne, giving the Pope
violent shock. By an adroit movement he pre-
vented himself from being thrown down, ant
cried out to his alarmed suite, ssFear nothing
the Pope's throne may fall, but the Pope him
self will never fall.
