First, the Emperor silences the Catholic press by " strong hand, so that neither Pope, Bishop, Priest, or layman can be heard through that chanel. Next, he commands his Prefects to stop the circulation of pamphlets, and to silence the clergy in the pulpit, “ moderately but firmly.” Now, through his Minister of Public Instruction, he exhorts the Bishops to be silent and to silence all beneath their jurisdiction. Meanwhile, the Emperor proceeds in his controversy with the Pope, through tl _ ' silence on all sides, through his Foreign Minister, through his organs in the press, and through the licence given to the infidel papers.

The document I have just read resumes whatever has been put forth most hostile to the liberties of the Church and most insulting to the Pope and the religious sense of Catholics.

As to the Sovereign Pontiff himself, the Emperor has, to suit his convenience, divided him into two distinct persons. One of these persons is Pius the Italian King ; the other, Pius the pontiff, in the pamphlet, “ The Pope and the Congress ' the Emperor was not so clear-sighted. There he maintained that—“ The temporal powerpf the Pope is, in the eyes of Religion, essential for the exercise of his spiritual power.”

But, since then, the Emperor has made progress. He says that the Church has nothing to say to Pius the temporal sovereign. That to defend the Pope’s temporal sovereignty is to interfere with what belongs not to the Church, but is for himself and diplomacy exclusively to handle.

Others again argue that these steps indicate that the Emperor is convinced that the spirit which he has raised against himself throughout Christendom is too formidable to be resisted. They infer that he is about to yield, and that he is about to retrace 1rs steps under cover of these menaces. For ourselves, we persevere in on- determination to indulge in no spculations either way.

‘‘Lose votes, indeed !” I hear the voice of some Irish Priest far off—“ © w do you account for some of the votes they got on Monday night last ?” I cannot take the liberty of pretending to account for them. Mr. Maguire’s eminent and consistent services deserve that the explanation which I presume he will give of his vote, through his paper or otherwise, should be received with every respect. His reasons are certain to be stated with the clearness and outspokenness which belong to him ; and the same reasons, I presume, also aotuated Mr. Brady, Mr. Blake, and Mr. Lanigan. But a t present it certainly does not enter into my mind to conceive them. The session is only a month old, and we already know in the most formal and official way that the Palmerston Government is opposed to every point of the Bishops’ Pastoral, and to every resolution that the independent members in pursuance of that Pastoral adopted. except the Tenant Right Qiie*jjfcy,, , We already postponed three times, and are evidently manoeuvring for their own Tenant Right Question, no one can doubt that the voice Of Catholic Ireland is at present distinctly and absolutely beyond all other considerations expressed to get T ” ’ iton and Lord John Russell out of office,
