I.OriS NAPOLEON AND TIIE POPE.
Encyclical Letter of the Pope, for Publish
ing which the L nicers” was Suppressed.
The Paris Univers publishes an encyc
lical letter from* the Pope, headed thus,
“To our venerable brethren the Patriarchs,
Primates, Archbishops, Bishops, and oth
ers, ordinaries of places in grace and in
communion with the Apostolic See.” The
letter is very long, and the following pas
sages are the most important:
‘ “Since the publication of our encyclical
letter of the 18th of June, last year, and
the two allocutions which were subse
quently delivered in Consistory, you have
learnt, your souls full of griei', with what
evils religious and civil, e nciety in Italy is
overwhelmed, and what audacious and
abominable acts of revolt were directed
both against the legitimate Princes of the
Italian States and the legitimate and sa
cred sovereignty which belongs to us, to
this Iloly See ; and, responding to our
wishes and our cares, you hastened, with
out loss of time, and with a zeal which
nothing could arrest, to order public pray
ers in your dioceses.
“You did not content yourselves with
the letters so full of devotion and love
which you addressed to us, but, to the glo
ry of your name and your order, raising
the episcopal voice, you published writings
full of science and of piety, defending en
ergetically the cause of our most holy re
ligion and stigmatizing the sacrilegious at
tempts directed against the civil sovereign
ty of the Homan Church. Constantly de
fending that sovereignly, you make it a
glory to avow and to teach that, by a par
ticular design of Divine Providence, who
directs and governs all things, it has been
given to the ltoman Pontiff, in order that,
not being subject to any civil power, he
may exercise in complete liberty, and with
out hindrance throughout the universe,
the supreme charge of the Apostolic Min
istry, which has been divinely ♦ intrusted
to him by Christ our Lord. Instructed
by our teachings, and incited by your ex
ample, the well-beloved children of the
Catholic Church have taken, and are still
adopting, every means to testify to us the
same sentiments.
“From every part of the Catholic world
we have received letters, the numbers of
which can scarcely he counted, signed by
ecclesiastics, and by laics of every condi
tion, of every rank, of every order, some
times reaching to hundreds of thousands,
which, while exj ressmg the most ardent
s •litiim nls oi veneration and love for us,
and for this chair of’ St. Peter, and the in
dignation felt by them at the audacious
acts accomplished in certain of our provin
ces, declare that the patrimony of the
hi- ssed St, Peter shall he preserved invio
late in all its integrity, and protected from
all attack. Many of those who signed these
letters have, moreover, established with
much force and knowledge that truth in
published writings. These, striking mani
festations of your sentiments, and of the
entinients of the faithful, worthy of all
i -nor and of all praise, and which will
remain inscribed in letters of gold in the
annals of the Catholic church, have caused
ns such emotion that we could not, in our
j>.y, refrain from crying out ‘Blessed he
Cod, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of Mercy and God of all Con
solation, who consoles us in our tribula
tion.”
The P ope then alludes to the Imperial
letter:
“Recently, as many of you already know,
the Paris journal entitled the Moniteur,
published a letter of thc Emperor of the
French, replying to a letter from us, in
which we earnestly prayed his Imperial
Majesty to protect with his powerful pat
ronage, in the Congress of Paris, the in
tegritv and inviolability of the temporal
dominion of the Holy See, and to tree it
from a criminal rebellion. Repeating in
his letter certain advice which a short time
before he offered us relative to the rebel
lious provinces of our Pontificial domin
ions. the very exalted Emperor counsels
us to renounce the possession of those same
provinces, finding in such renunciation the
only remedy for the present disorder of
affairs.”
After remarking that it was impossible
for him to remain silent after such advice,
his Holiness continues :
“We hastened to reply to the same Em
peror, and in the apostolic liberty of our
soul we clearly and openly declared to him
that wo could in no manner adhere tojliat
counsel ; because, considering our dignity
and that of the Holy See, it was attended
with insurmountable difficulties, and con
sidering our sacred character, and the
rights of this same See, which do not be
long to the dynasty of any Royal family,
hut to all Catholics.
“And at the same time we declared that
we could not surrender what docs not he
lon- to us , and ilnit we perfectl> under
stood that the victory which might he ac
corded to the revolted of theJEmilia would
be a stimulant to commit the same at
tempts to the native and foreign distur
bers of the other provinces when they should
witness the success of the rebels. And,
among other tilings, we caused it to be
made kuown to the same that we can no
abdicate the aforesaid provinces of oui
Pontificial dominions without violating
the solemn oaths which bind us, without
exciting complaints and insurrection m the
rest of our States, without doing an injury
to all Catholics, and, finally, without wea
kening the rights not only of the Punces
of Italy who have been unjustly despoiled
of their domains, but also of all the I riu-

ces of the Ohristian universe, who could
not see with indifference the introduction
of certain most, pernicious principles. We
did not omit to observe that His Majesty
was not ignorant by what men, with what
money, and what succour the recent at
tempts at rebellion have been excited and
accomplished at Bologna, Ravenna, and
other towns, while the great majority of
i the people remained stupified at those ris
ings, which they in nowise expected, and
which they were by no means disposed to
! follow.
“And, inasmuch as the Most Serene Era
| peror thought that those provinces were
to he abdicated by us, by reason of the
i seditious movements which were excited
1 there from time to time, we opportunely
replied to him that this argument had no
value, because it proved too much, as sim
j ilar movements took place frequently both
iin the States of Europe and elsewhere ;
| and no one could use it as a legitimate ar
gument to reduce the possession of a civil
government. Neither have we omitted to
remind the same Emperor that he address
ed to ns a letter of a very different kind
! from his last before the war in Italy—a
letter which brought us consolation, and
not affliction. And, from some words in
the Imperial letter published in the journ
|al aforesaid, (the Moniteur,) we prayed
his Majesty, in the name of the Church,
that, in consideration of his own good and
his own benefit, he should completely re
move our apprehension. Moved by this
i paternal charity, with which we are bound
to watch over the eternal safety of all, we
recalled to his mind that we all should one
! day have to render an account before the
tribunal of Christ, and undergo a more se
vere judgment, and that therefore each of
us ought to do energetically what depend
ed on him to merit mercy rather than
justice.
“Such are the t ilings which, among oth
ers, we answered to the very great. Empe
ror of the French ; and we considered it
our duty to communicate them to you, and
to the whole Catholic universe, in order
that you might know more and more that,
with the aid of God, and fulfilling the du
ty of our most important ministry, we try
all without fear, and spare no effort to de
fend courageously the cause of religion and
of justice ; to’maiutain entire and invio
late the civil power of the Roman Church,
with the temporal possessions, and its
l ights, which appertain to the whole Cath
olic universe : and, finally, to guarantee j
the just cause of the other Princes.”
His Holiness then goes on to declare his !
: readiness to suffer the severest trials ; ex
-1 presses his anguish at “the danger of tlie
: souls in his troubled provinces, where pcs
; tilential writings menace each more de
plorably the piety, the religion, the faith,
and the purity of morals ;” exhorts those
whom he addresses to defend zealously and
incessantly the Catholic Church and the
Holy See, “as well as the maintenance of
the civil power of the Same See and of the
patrimony of St. Peter ;” and concludes
by exhorting them to offer their prayers to
Heaven for the attainment of these objects.
Tli e encyclical letter hears (late the
19 th ult.
M;?. official response—Thc Emperor deplor
es the attempt of the I* ope to make him
self thc arbiter of political sovereignty.
The Constitutional (official journal) pub
lishes the following article in prominent
type :
“The sovereign pontiff has just address
ed an encyclical letter to all the bishops.—
We at first doubted whether we were le
gally authorized to publish that document.
The organic law which regulates the rela
tionship of the political power of our coun
try with the court of Rome leaves no doubt
upon this question, and resolves it nega
tively. In fact, Art. 1 of that law says :
“‘No hull, brief, rescript, decree, man- ,
date, provision, signature serving as provi- !
sion, nor other documents (expeditions)
from the court of Rome, even when only j
concerning private individuals, may he re
ceived, printed, or otherwise made public, !
without the pci mission of the government. |
“This enactment is formal, and we would
not have infringed it, had not the modera
tion and the toleration of the Administra
tion thought fit to derogate from so abso
lute a prohibition. We wore informed this |
evening, with our cotemporaries, that we
might produce the Pontificial letter with
out impropriety.
“This letter is a declaration from the
head of the Church, addressed to his ven
erable brothers of the episcopacy. On the
first grounds, it imposes upon us a respect
which we shall scrupulously observe.
“But it does not concern questions of
faith, for the settlement of which the au
thoritv or the Pope is only absolute when ,
conformable to the sacred canons, and in j
accord with the universal consent of the
assembled Church.
|)utuicai question alone is hcic un
der consideration, and on this point the
competency ot thc Court ot Rome could
not he admitted without disavowing all the
traditions of the Church of France. The
memorable declaration ot to which
the name of Bossuet is so gloriously attach
ed, says textually : j
“‘That St. Peter and his successors, vi
cars of Jesus Christ, and that the ns hole
Church itself have only received power
from God for spiritual things and which
concern salvation, and not temporal and ,
civil things/
“Thus, in the encyclical letter of the
19th of January it is the temporal Sover
eign who speaks in the name of a tempo
ral interest, hut in the forms and with the
particular character which appertaimlo the
head of the Church.
“There is, then, here, an abuse of juris
diction, which, without dispensing us f-om
a respectful deference, cannot prevent a
; free judgment.
••Let us not hesitate to express our full
opinion.
“The adversaries of the Papacy have al
ways reproached it for its efforts to over
| step the spiritual domain, which is exetu
; sively its own. They have raised against
it the minds of many independent men who
refused their submission, except in mat
ters of faith. It was in wishing to
according to the very terms of the
tion of 1(182, Kings and Sovereigns to the*
ecclesiastical power,” that whole nations
were alienated from that unity of which
Rome is the centre.
“Thanks to Heaven, we are no longer in
the times of schisms and heredMMMKKbqyj
ep‘>ch is enlightened fr
tiims ever to arise from a
| derstatiding.
“But it is impossible for to de
plore the attitude which has up r
! on Pius IX, under circumstancajMfffwthe
spirit of conciliation appeared as
to ally ilgelf so well with the august cliar
acter of the Holy Father. Is it not sad. to
see in so grave a document as that of which
we speak the eternal cause\>f the Ghurch
mixed up with and loweredlty interests so
little worthy of it, and associated with the
fortunes of those Prince's who, in Italy, on
ly maintained themselves by the arms of
Austria, and could noWetißTNliere except
at her hack ? * N f
“In fact, one of the reasons given in the
letter of the Pope for refusing the repara
tion ot the Romagna is, that he could not
abdicate that portion ofliis territory with
out ‘detriment to the rights of the Princes
of Italy, who have been unjustly despoiled
of their domains/
“Here we have, then, the head of the
Church making himself, as in the days of
Boniface VIII, and Innocent XII, tlie ur
bitratcr of political sovereignties ! And
mark it well ! this theocratical arbitration,
which in our day would he thc most dan
gerous prerogative for the Papacy, is, by a
strange contrast, only thc undeniable proof
of his dependency; for, before as after the
war of Italy, we rind Rome bent under the
inti nonce of Austria*—under that influence
which Father Lacordaire so justly consid
ered a cause of decline and fall of the Ho
ly See.
“We should pity French Catholics who
could not feel the sad position asumed by
the Papacy coming forward to restore a
gainst tht 1 popular will princes who, having
fallen at had no other refuge
than the of Austria. This
position of all those who
would have liked’ the head of Chris
tianity resume tlie prestige of his political
power in his union with regenerated Ita
ly. ■**
•-Tlie encylical letter will
-a rallying point for many
have nothing French or Christian
them, and which will wrongly endeavoWß
abuse the authoiity of this document and.
its venerable origin. We do not fear that
they will succeed; for the policy of the
Emperor cannot give occasion, we are cer
tain, to any legitimate anxiety. The Em
peror, inspired by a devotion which for ten
rears has never belied itself one single day,
first counseled to the Pope reforms which
might have saved the integrity of his do
minions. Those counsels were rejected ;
the evil has become aggravated, and now
it seems no longer possible to lead hack
the population of the Romagna, unless
conqeTing them by force.
“The Emperor thought it was more ad
vantageous for the Pope to give up the
Romaefha than to conquer it at the cost of
the blood of his subjects by foreign inter
vention. He said so sincerely to the Holy
Father in a letter worthy of the eldest son
of the Church and of the sovereign of
France. The Pope was at liberty to fol
low or reject that advice. He rejects it.
“We are far from contesting his right to
do so, and we have the conviction that the
advice of France will never he turned into
menace or constraint,
“Thus, then, the duty of France is ful
fill -d. The injustice towards her, howev
er great it may he, will not have the pow
er to make her desert her task of modera
tion and protection. At Rome she would
still if needs he, defend the Pope against
anarchy ; hut if the political authority of
the Holy Father everywhere else is destin
ed to go through other crises, the respon
sibility must not fall upon the generous
nation which has done everything to obvi
ate them, and which will be always ready
to grant that trusty support which is ig
nored to-day.”
Crinoline in the Sick Room-
A work entitled Notes on Nursina h v
t.u . -kT; O mis jusr been jiub
lished in London. The following views on
the annoyance of crinoline to the sick oc
cur in it :
It is, I think, alarming, peculiarly at
this time, when the female iuk-bottles are
perpetually impressing upon us “woman’s”
•‘particular worth and general missionari
ness,” to see that the dress of women is
daily more and more unfitting them for
any “mission,” or usefulness at all. A man
is now a more handy and far less objection
able being in a sick room than a woman. —
Compelled by her dress, every woman now
either shuffles or waddles —only a man can
cross the floor of a sick room without sha
king it ! What is become of woman’s
light step !—the firm, light, quick step we
have been asking for?
Unnecessary noise, then, is the most cru
el absence of care which can he inflicted ei
ther on sick or well. For, in all these re
marks, the sick are only mentioned as suf
fering in a greater proportion than the well
from precisely the same causes.

A beautiful young lady, Miss L , of
Mobile, had quite an adventure iu one of
the St, Charles street omnibuses yesterday.
It.appcars that, in company with a young
lady friend, she had been paying a visit lip
in tlnviwy, a4d was coming down to Ca
nal street again. ust Ac had pulled
the string,,, and was & tlicaht\f getting

Thejyoung lady, with great of
mind, sprang out of bus auiT rn after
him. The thief, in to dodge
into the crowd, slipped and felq when the
young lady, stooping down,
caught hold of him by the collar and said
in the sweetest excited tone imaginable :
“Ah, you had man, ain’t you ashamed to
take my purse, give it hack to me directly.”
The thief was perfectly subdued, and
handed over thc purse to tlie young lady,
who not until then released her tiny, jew
eled hand from his collar. The rascal was
probably actuated to the hasty delivery by
the approach of a crowd of gentlemen, at
tracted by the singular scene, and was glad
enough to skulk away without being ar
rested.
The young lady* blushing considerably
after the excitement of the chase, and the
gaze of the young gentlemen who came too
late, rejoined her companion, and walked
away as if nothing had occurred. — N. 0.

Just now that Tennessee nags are dis
tancing all competitors on the turf, by a
neck, we propose to show, by the following
dialogue, which, we are credibly informed,
took place in a ball-room in this city re-
Ijwojy, that Tennessee ladies are outstrip
■gYall competitors in ugjt and repartee as
fact) in refined ac-
Ats and personal charms.
young lady, whose wit is-only
oclipSrWDy her beauty, was, on the occifa
sion above alluded to, the local point off
admiration, and had more satellites than
Saturn. Among the number who were on
ly too happy to do her the slightest pleas
ure was Mr. A., a young man of the mod
ern school of beauty, with a good deal of
jewelry and a very little moustache, which
by tlie dint of much coaxing and petting,
had just made its appearance upon his up
per lip, in its most incipient and insipid
stages.
The young lady to whom we have refer
red, to test tlie gallantry of her
presented him with an almond andl^ques
ted him to crack it for her. A., only too
glad to do her bidding, took the nut, and
searching in vain for any other means,
cracked it with his tcetli and returned it
to his inamorata, when the following short
hut pointed dialogue ensued:
“You have very sharp teeth,” remarked
his teaser, dryly.
“Very sharp, I assure you,” replied A.
“Would you believe it—-when a hoy I used
to amuse myself by biting off the heads of
birds and chickens ?”
“Oh, indeed, very probable,” replied the
lady. “I coulJ have guessed as much ; I
think I can see some of their down Upon
your upper lip !”
Our informant adds that young A.,
struck a bee line fur a barber shop, and
has never since attempted to cultivate a
moustache.— Mewph is Bulletin.
An Original Character. —A friend
who writes to the Home Journal from the
shores of Lake Ontario, gives the follow
ing account of a singular monomaniac :
We have some originals about
, ua „m i b.u [wia-i “nuggets to
Cooper. Among them is an old withered
mummy whom we call “Commodore,” from
the fact of his being the best fisherman on
the lake. At some time in early life, he
must have become deranged ; and on his
recovery of mind began life as anew crea
ture —his recollection of what passed be
fore his lunacy entirely obliterated. His
theory of advent into this world, is that
lie was, at about the age 700 years, eject
ed from the planet Jupiter for some viola
tion of the laws in that orb, and on recov
ering from the etiects of that, tremendous
fall, found himself on the shores of this
lake.
At first, he says, the food of this earth
did not suit him, he having subsisted, be
fore his fall, entirely on electricity —the
only food known in Jupiter! However, af-
in _A.dvn.Hckb
ter having nearly peHstied from starvation;
he discoveK'tl that whiskey ami gin so near
ly resembled electricity; iti their effects on
his system, that he has made shitt to sup

Thinking the Enquirer, absorbed in keep

and being naturally anxious that our late

we call its attention to the following para

‘*At tlie recent I'nion meeting held at
Knoxville, Judge Bailey, a lire-catingdem

Parson Brownlow, with an admirable re

assures us) “to next day, to

Randolph’s sarcasm was always wither

silence, was’ annihilating. The anecdotes

newspaper and documents in bis desk. All
expected a reply, and rare sport, as a mat

disappointed. Some days after however,
when the House, the lobbies, and galleries/
were full, Randolph obtained the floor (<j

man. With inimitable elocution, which
hushed the House into the most perfect si

my esteemed friend from Virginia, Jatfelt’

As his incomparable emphasis fell on the

It was told me as a fact by an intelli
