Victor Emmanncl-His Promises and Aspi-

| To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
| DEAR SIE-Whether intended or moi, the comp-
mentary remarks in the HERALD OF the 9th inst,
| giving Importance to the King OF Pedmonrs speech,
! looks somewhat like satire, especially when we
| consider the value he places upon his word or
| solemn treaties so recently eXempl1ed in the In
| yasion OF Rome-an outrage more cowardly from
1 the fact OF Its being perpetrated at time when
| France was powerless TO prevent the injustice.
The excuse offered bv himself and his defenders,
that lie was compelled to the act by the whirlwind
| he had created around him in the effort TO unity
| Italy, only shows the miserable foundation upon
| which his dynasty rests and what importance may
| be attached to his promises
| lie was bound by solemn treaty TO protect the
sovereign Pontl in the peaceable possession Of his
dominons and to defend him against all outside
revolutionists, instead OF which he marched them
into Rome with his army, and turned the capital OF
the Christian world int city OF licentiousness and
disorders. This Is no trivial matter, nor can 1t be
dismissed with flourish, II there IS any faith or
consistency among nations and governments
When Russia encroached upon the M0hammedan
Turk England and France sent their legons to drive
back the aggressors. fierce war followed, which
was terminated by treaty OF peace. Now
there are signs-merely signs-of that treaty being
broken and all Europe is In arms. 1t is TO be hoped
that treaties with the head OF the Christian Church,
whose dynasty is not only the Oldest out the most
legitimate in existence, are as much entitled TO con-
sieratiou and respect those Oh the Turk, who
bai for tue Church In past times, would have over
run all Chrlstendom. We need no further proof OF
| the WOtllltoSASsS vi NiOtVI IHHiduucls ctHpby
words than the way he has kept his late hypocritcal
premise Of protecting the Pope aud guaranteeing
INN perfect and unlestralned freedom. This lie has
done even to seizing and appropriating TO his own
use the Pope's private moneys contributed by the
Catholic world, aud by suppreSsing every news
| paper which dare defend him.
This sort OF protection and guarantee OF liberty Is
somewhat like that OF u burglar who breaks INTO
your house and drives you to an attic room, telling
you that his band and d few OF your own frightened
servants IN the sculery have voted away your pro-
perty to him tthe roDoer), but that you shall have
perfect and unresraned Iiberty--to do whatever he
