extends within the walls Of the Vatican,
10 the most serious sncSoa0hmsnt on
the indspsndsnoe Of the Papaey which
has bssn committed sinos the city OF
Rome WAS occupied BY the troops OF
Victor Emanuel. By It the % called
IApal guarantees are unqussetonaoly
rendered nueasory, and II the Pspai
government had any sineses friends left
among the great powers Of Europe they
would vigorously protest against the
violation Of Q compact 70 which the
whole Of Catholic Christsndom has
been hitherto supposed 70 b In some
sense party.
What were the Papal guarantees
which have thus bssn virtually abrogz-
ted, and under what circumstances
were they given! Il viii b rsnsmbsr-
ed that the ooeupation Of Rome was q
complete rspudiation Of the convention
entered into by France and Italy in
September, 1864, to which, moreover, in
August, 1870, whom France Withdrew
her troops from the States Of the Church
the Italian government pledged itself to
scrupulously adhere. Nevertheless, A.
terthe capitalization Of MsMahon's army
ct Sedan, Italian soldiers took posssss-
Ion Of the Pspal territory, and finally
Of Rome itself, with the exception Of
the so-cslled Leonins city, which, TO-
Rether With the Vatican. was left TO the
Pope. It u said to have been at the
wish Of Plus TX, who believed himself
TO be threatened with mob violence,
that subsequently the Leonine city was
included in tho district formally an
nsxsd to Italy. But the precinct Of the
Vatican vas never thus annexed, and
It, occupant was treated like An indie
pendsn3 sovereign In the interval BE-
tween September, 1870, and May, 1871,
when Law was passed by the Italian
Parliament defining the relations be-
tween Church and State, and reooRniz-
ing In the most explicit manner the
prsroaatives Of an autonomous ruler in
the Pope. This method Of dealing with
the Papscy was extremely distasteful 10
radical republicans. but il was imposed
on Italy by tho political situation Of
Europe snd the pressure Of Catholic
opinion. Austria made no attempt 10
conceal her displsasure at tho action OF
the Italian government, and loud re-
monstranoes were raised by she German
Catholics, whom Bismarck had no mind
TO offend. until, at all events, the mech
anism Of the newly constructed empire
had boon put in working order. But
the worst danger appeared 10 lie on the
side Of France, where after the oomp0-
sition Of the Bordeaux Assembly be-
came known, tho esta blishment Of a
monarchioal government seemed ineort-
able. Now, reactionary regime would
Of course be called upon by it, support
srs to bring Italy to account for break
ing the pledge given In 1854 and rsaf
hrmed in 1870. that the temporal power
Of the Papaov should ineur M fu,th.,
