no allies, and cannot fight alone. To

cannot afford to dispense with the
old armor Of despotie Governments.
A journal suggests the erection TO

the support she might otherwise
render France.
His Holiness has been Ciisappoint-

bishops have not yet replied, means

Archbishops of Canterbury, she sends
the Vatican Remington rifles and
