1t was simply in consequence of old sym
pathes and a community Of interests, and
formed a fresh guarantee of peace. Re
gaTding the troubles which accompanied the
French religious pilgrimage to Rome, he
said that the agitation provoked in Italy by
those incidents was altogether out Of pro-

tiOHal bearing, the Government felt bound
to issue a circular to the Bishops to stop
these pilgrimages, and the Pope himself had
declared the Government was justified.
Besides, the Government had not hidden
from italy its dspleasure that the anti-pil-
