ROME.

DIPLOMATIC VIEW OF TUE RO-
MAN QUESTION.

credited to the Hloly See continues to |
remain with the Holy Father, and will!
so remain, The Florentine Government
has not ventured to put the question di-|
rectly to the Governments which that
body represents, but has been feeling |
the ground by means of the Giunta un-|

der which the plebiscite took place, The |
resident ministers, at its request, inform-|
ed their respective courts of the enquiry
which had been made, viz: whether the
diplomatic body would continue to reside |
with the Pope, and whether it might be |
hoped that the facts of the 20th Septem. |
ber and the plebiscite would be recog-|
nized, The answer received trom the!
Governments was to this effeot: that nu!
change was to be made, and that their!
ministers were to remain to represent |
them with the Government of the Holy
See. As for the facts of the 20th Sep-
tember, they were clearly an infringe. |
ment of the rights of nations, and direct- |
ly contrary to the promises and declara- |
tions made to the Powers by the Italian |
Government, which limited itself to say-|
ing that it was about to occupy certain |
points in the Pontifical territory, in order
to hinder a revolution, instead of which |
it had carried on thither with its troops, |
and had effected it with mamifest violence. |

Governments continue to regard the
Holy Father as Sovereign of Rome, and}

double character of Pope and King. 2, |

That they do not recognize the seizure |

of the Pontilical States by Victor Em-|
manuel; and, in fact, not only was the |

but the foreign euvoys at the Court of
Florence were forbidden to assist at the
ceremony of its presentation and accep-
tance by the King.

lomatic act of that court, previous to the
20th September, indicated the design of
occupying Rome and destroying the |
Pope’s sovereignty; the King’s letter to
the Pope did not say a word of it; nei-

and Visconti-Venosta’s note, which he |
caused to be communicated to the Gov-|
stood, that the direct contrary might!
rather have been inferred fromit. The
bombardment of Rome, therefore, and |
the entry of the troops into the city, ac-|
companied by a seditious mob, to over-|
turn public order in the Capital of Chris-
tendom, and cast down the Pontifical
power, has been an offence to the Sove-
reigns of Europe, and has seriously in-

jured the Florentine Government in the

opinion of statesmen. Foreseeing that
this original sin of violence and injustice
would cleave irremediably to such a
mode of annexing Rome, aud become the
source of remonstrances which could not
be disregarded, Visconti-Venosti oppos-
ed it as long as he could; bat the party
of action carried the day, and now he is
laboring to make the best of the bad
cause in which he has taken part with
the rest. Ilence his endeavors to elicit
some favorable reply, some explicit de-
claration of acquiescence from the Gov-
ernments. Ilis recent note concerning
the Pontifical guarantees, has been writ-
ten with this object. We may rest as-
sured, however, that the Florentine Gov-
ernment has hitherto been able to obtain
nothing but evasive and conditional re-
plies from diplomacy. Europe reserves
the question, and is not likely to enter
on it until peace is concluded, and Irauce
can take her part in it, which she can-
not do until she is politically re-organ-
ized, And for this reason llorence
dreads the conclusion of peace. Iow-
ever revolutionary Franee may sympa-
thize or side
France, no matter what may be the form
of government she may adopt, is sure to
support the Pope.

The Nuncio, Mgr. Chigi, has left
Paris extremely well satisfied with the
dispositions manifested by Gen Trochu
and the other political Frenchmen with
whom he conversed; men who are sure
to be called to exercise great influence
in the establishment of the new order of
things. Not one of these men but was
firm in his determination that the Pope
should retain his sovereignty, and all
made this a point in which the interests
and honor of France were intimately
concerned, Mgr Chigi was receiver
most graciously at Versailles, by King
William, Count Bismark, and the Pras-
sian generals; and we huve reason to
believe that the interest which Ger-
many’s futare Emperor manifests for
the Pope is very great, and that he is re-
solved not to content himself with bare
words,

lower class have been making capital of
the candidature of the Duke of Aosta for
the Spanish Crown. Europe's assent is
viewed by them as an encouragement ;
and they flatter themselves that a Prince

aid in weakening be Pope's position.
This is mere childishness.

THE WAR.

At length an undeniable French sue-

has proved itself to be no myth, but a

stern reality, which has made itself felt

Paladine d’Aurelles, it encountered Von

The Dublin Freeman{comments on the
victory at Orleans, and calculates the
military strength of France, thus :—

The King of Prussia seems on bad
terms with Providence. Ie wrote a
despatch to hie wife after the defeat of
Orleans, in which there was no mention
of the Deity. He has always indited
his telegrams in the cant phraseology of
a man on terms of intimacy with the
heavenly host. But after Orleans he
had no cant. The French vietory, in-

thousands of Germans, and the division
