Napoleon,s State Printer Asks a Question oI

biiity-Why tho Delay Of Declaration
ROME, May IT, 1870.
Perhaps all your readers are not acquainted with
the fact that the Emperor Napoeon's printer at
Paris is NJ P0n and still less VIII they be acquainted
with the fact that this very imperial printer has just
published an important pamphlet, entitled "Ce qui
Be Passe au Concile.n Such document, coming out
Just when everybody is really wanting to know what
Is going on at the Council and why the Pope does
not either put his nfaibility dogma TO the question
at once or let it alone pro tenpore cannot fail TO
have an immense interest, and the mere glimpse at
Its contents which have been able TO get as yet
Bhows me that 1t must have been written by come
one having the habitual entrse into the Coancl,
either Pon!ilcal reporter or theologian, If not
actually invested with the episcopal m.tre. There
is certainty or facts and degree Of detail which

given as the 'Fnst PART"
Your readers may perhaps inquire why my ex-
Hminaton OF this pamphlet was so hasty. l reply
that only four or five copies have escaped the gen.
eral orders for sequestraton winch have prevented
the large case containing 600 OF tnem from reaching
the French prelate to whom it was addressed and
forwarded to the Custom House Of Rome by the
ordinary transport OF the Messagerles Impariaes.
The 900 copies were divided into kite bundles OF
half dozen each, addressed to one o. the French
bishops now In Rome, with the following notice on
the slip OF paper enclosing ihem-"Begging your
Grandeur to keep one copy and distribute the others
~ foreign fathels."

episcopal fellow countrymen, and III high position

that pamphlets addressed 10 bishops bat hostile to

WHY THE FEELING?
Tnere are various opinions as TO the motives ol
OF cardinals and bishops, headed by tie enentissi-

as example in these matters is everything there are

The Armenian Archbishop or Antioch, who quarrel

the Armenian convent here, has found IL expedent
to leave Rome altogether, in company with few
