force element that defeated the sub treas

the force men principally. The other
delegates who favored it voted against it
because they desired to defeat the force
party. The latter had forty eight dele

negotiation with the Prince of Monaco:
complete arrangements were made and
apartments for the Pope were designated
when letter of extreme Importance was

conditions relative to the soiourn of the
