PRICE 41.  TAMPED, •  impossibility in .which the Hole' Father finds himself of abdicating a portion. of his States show at the same time' how' unfounded are the astonishment pretended and..the coniplaintS made that in his encyclical letter he brought before the Catholic world as a religious matter 'a , question which be; longs 'exclusively to politics, and 'which consequently ought to be discussed and settled, between the Pontifical Government and the Government of France, without any other being allowed to meddle with it. ShOuld.the • Holy Father be willing to agree to such an overture; it appears to i'l. Thouve-nel that the negotiations might. be resumed; and, although 'it is rather late, he, 'nevertheless, doei not see any invincible obstacle to such an arrangement." - • •  After stating that by the separation of the Itomignes, and the disturbances which might be consegnent thereupon, the privileges of all Catholics would be jeopardized in the actual order of things established by Providence, inasmuch as their chief, without being subject to any, human.power, enjoys absolute iadependence in the exercise of his Apostolic ministry, and that the encyclical letter had no other object, the Cardinal concludes as follows : " I do not wish to er iclude this despatch without proposing to you a last consideration touching the impossibility which it is said exists of the Romag, nas being restored to the legitimate rule of the ' Holy Father without foreign intervention, or to keep them without renewed occupation ; things which are declared to be impossible, insurmountable. But, if it is true, and it is impossible to doubt it, that the revolt of the four Legations was and is -Maintained by tlie-ffeltis of a party wTii owes its power to foreign help, and to hopes of still greater assistance, I do not see why a rebellion made by iniquitous foreign aid should not also be suppressed by legitimate foreign aid. Again, can it be said that aid given by Catholic nations to their common father, and in the interests of the whole Christian universe, can be styled foreign assistance ?  heard the deceased crying for a short time, and they then became quiet.. She dropped off to sleep, and heard nothing more. She got up about seven o'clock, and about an hour afterwards she heard the prisoner go down stairs, and she fancied that she heard him return in a few minutes afterwards. She heard him go out between eight and nine o'clock, and she did not hear him any more. She heard nothing of the wife during the day. They knocked at deceased's door about half-past nine o'clock, but they received no answer. They tried the door at the time, and found it locked. In answer to further questions, the witness said  that she heard no noise Or scut& at the time kvheri she heard the deceased call out " Mrs. Jones." There was only a lock and key to the door, and when unfastened it opened very easily. The deceased had been suffering from yellow jaundice in the face for about a fortnight, and she frequently expressed a belief that she would die, as she was so  Two other females in the house, which has only four rooms, confirmed the testimony as to the noise between the prisoner and his wife on the Wednesday night. A young woman named Thomson, the daughter of the landlord, stated that the noise was so frequent that she took no notice of it.  The other female, Mrs. Jones's daughter, spoke to hearing some of the words between them. She heard the prisoner tell his wife to lie down, and she expressed a determination to leave him, as she had. done before, and go home to her mother. This witness also heard her use very bad language. Sergeant Large wished his worship to ask the witnesses if they did not hear the deceased cry out " Murder."  " Finally, if, on the one hand, the Holy Father is willing to enter into new negotiations on the bases indicated, on the other hand he is firmly resolved (as he has publicly stated, and intends to declare again) to maintain, with God's aid, whose vicar he is on elrth, the rights of the patrimony of the Catholic Church, whatever may be the attacks of his adversaries, and whatever may be the opposition which may unhappily be brought against him under the present lamentable conjunctures. _  Mrs. Jones's daughter said she did not know whether it was " mother" or " murder." She believed the deceased spoke of her mother, and did not utter the word " murder."  " G. Cardinal
