ROME, Nov. ~, 1870.
This document has proved to be dexterous fire.
brand launched by the Supreme Portln, at the sug-
gestlon Of the Jesuts, into the hostile camp OF the
Italian Ministry. The republican o. well as clerical
subjects OF Victor Emmanuel have protested from
one end OF the peninsula to the other against what
they consider an abuse OF power on the part OF the
government in sequestratin2 all the journals which
reproduced the Popes apostolic circular OF the LIST
OF November, dated from st. Peters, but only pre-
scented to the c0gnizance Of the faithful on the 22d
inst through the medium Of Messrs. Prefer &
Puky, printers, of Geneva, TO whom 1t was doubt
less communicated 10y that fearless par
tisan or nfallibiiity, Monsignor MermlIod, As
sistant Bishop OF Geneva. For papal bull OF
accommodation to be Illuminated In the first III
stance from Calvansttc capital is certainly
novelty. But 1t he's anorded the Italian govern
ment an excuse for preventing too free crcula-
tl0n OF the Objectionable document the ground OF
Its being apochrypha The line taken IN by the
government Is that his Holiness is free to print and
publish In Rome whatever edicts circulars or notih-
cations he may consider necessary In the exercise OF
his supreme spiritual authority; and since the occu-
patton OF Rome by the Italian troops we have seen
Papal protests such as that proroguing the Ecu
menical Council, affixed to the principal churches OF
the city and reproduced by the daily papers without
any let hindrance; but whatever ecclesiastical
publication of an offensive nature appears without
the@tamp Of authenticity communicated by the I'M
mediate emanation from the Vatican is liable be
seized as much as any other defamatory libel.
On the whole the government had far better have
left tho Encyclical alone and maintained Cavours
programme OF "free Church in free State" always
admitting that the present bull which solemnly
communicates oil the authors and agents OF the
aggrossons complained OF by his Holiness, be an
ecclesiastical rather than political document

into conversation with them, with an unreseryo
bordering on familiarity, questioning them upon the
habits and customs Of their respective countries,
and medals. His Holiness frequently puts an end to
the audience with some OF the b0ns tnots, oi which
he Is so fond, and dismisses the visitors with ms
blessing.
