A FuIminado from Cardinal Cullen
against Victor Emanuel.
LONDON, Oct. Especial to the Herald
A letter is published here over the sig
nature of Cardinal Cullen on the Italian
question. He violently condemns the re-
cent action of those whom he designates
as revolutionists who have dethroned the
Pope and taken possession of the Papal
States. Victor Emanuel, Mazzini, Ma
poleon and Ernst Rensn come in fOrSa
| large share OF ecclesiastical censure.
The Cardinal takes different view of
the policy and acts Of the King of Italy
from that taken by Cardinal Manning and
denounces the King Of Italy as down
right hypOcrite. AT the time when the
King of Italy was protesting all the true
affection of a true son of the ChurTh, he
had ordered his troops to fire upon the
Vatican, if necessary, with shells and
all the explosive materials of modern
warfare, well aware that the Pope, Car
dinals and all members of the Papal
household were residents oil the palace.
The cardinal denOunces the selfish az
grandizeInent and utter negatiOn of all
obligations, either religious or otherwise,
owed to the Church by the King of Italy,
with an cloquenCe that has produced the
most startling effect, both on the Roman
Catholic population throughout the coun-
try and on PrOtestants. In language
nearly approaching to cursing he prOphe-
sizes for Victor Emanuel the fate of Ne
buchadnezzar.
The Obstacles 10 German Unity.
LONDON, Oct. Special to the Herald
"A dispatch from Berlin, dated the 18th,

that city are agitsting for change in the
constitution of the Northern Bund, who
announce that they are determined not to
accent a union with the sovereign govern
ment without fully consulting all the de-
tails of that union and the future policy
of Prussia.
II is understood that Austria will moi
oppose German unity, and all the Difficult
ties for consummation of that union will
proceed from the Southern Governments,
and the presence of party of independ
cnce and progress.
