310bPPALEMBERT AND THE EMPEROR are
once -more in collision. The last conflict
began exactly a year ago. The , former has
published in his-own paper, the Correspon•
dtrah an article which is entitled -"Finn'
IX. and. France in 1848 and , '4 1 0." The,
article has been. visited with official chastise
ment, first a " warning." having lbeen-given
to the paper and its editor. The Friend.of
Religion, . a Romish organ, has also, a
" warning," for copying part of the offensive
production.
But what is the-offence ? It is that the
artiole. " in denouncing the war made by
France in. Italy, as having led to the tem
poral authority of the Pope, misrepresents
the results of that-glorious event, and mis
represents the polioy of the Emperor ;" that
"tt insults nations allied to, France ; ' that
it is " intentionally insulting, by assim
ilating " (placing aide by side witb,) "the
name of blaohiavel and the names of Nit
poison 111. and Victor Emmanuel," and
that this "is a direct attack against the
reaped dne to the Emperor ;" and finally,
the " warning" is given because "the Gov
ernment, whose duty it is to enlighten public
opinion, cannot abut* to the mercy of
political passions and party hatred, the
honor of French policy, the glory of French
arms, and the good faith of the ,prinoipies so
solemnly affirmed."
You will at once perceive that the article
is a bold one, and moreover honest, as
viewed.from the standpoint of Ultramon
tanist convictions. Montalembert belongs
to that party; we fought , his battle versus'
the Emperor last year, because the liberty
of the press was at stake, and public opinion I
still will pronounce in favor ;of his right to
say all that is in his heart, even.though
there be bitter vituperation of England in
his newspaper. This last the Emperor,
with all his pretence of wrath at, insults,
offered to " allies," does not care for in the
least. The sting of the paper ,its, truth.
The Ultramontanints are right in regarding
the Emperor as the grand enemy. He
initiated the war, without whom there could
have been no war, save an unequal one be.
tween Austria and Sardinia, which would
but, in its issue, have made the Pope's
temporal supremaoy more secure than ever.
The Pope's temporal supremacy now is but
a shadow, and were the French troops with
drawn from Rome, it :-would= perish in a
night. A correspondent -of the Times, a
London barrister, who has just returned
from the Eternal City, gives a melancholy
account of the place. Filth, neglect, pay
erty, the absence of all heart and joyous.
nese; singing—so natural to the Italians—
never beard ; the only music that of the
French regimental .bands; these, with the
silent but significant homage paid to the
Sardinian Minister on this occasion of his
enforced departure—all indicate that Rome
itself is on the brink of revolution.
A eulogy on the Pope is made the
pretence of terrible reproaches to , Napolon
111., as for example in the following pas
sage : "What oath, has he violated ? What
blood has he shed , ?:- What property has he
confiscated ? What traps has he laid
What falsehoods biChe uttered? Whom on
earth has he deedved and persecuted t
What liberties has...le destroyed ? • What
baseness has he committed ?"
Now, put all the Words which I have
marked italics together, and you, will find
by contrast—a great weapon in the hands of
an orator—the Emperor is suggestively
made out a covenant hriaker, a blood
shedder, a robber, a deceiver, a liar, a ruth
less betrayer of the cause of liberty t That
" nice young man "—Louis Napoleon, to
wit—does not like that thus, the mirror
should be held up to naturi, a:e i ther such a
photograph of himself should ti multiplied
for the haspeotio of the world Netrerths.

give it it , wide examination.

men consented , to the , policy that , decreed.
against the will of the iteople.of those prov
bees, that. the Belgium provinces, of Lux

himself also among the offenders in England,
whose conduct (endorsed by-the nation,) is
ere long to bring down on vs, in over
whelining power and force, " the , just
resentment and filial anguish of one hundred

A N, EVENING AT THE
MANSION Azar/4M
2
may be worth describing. I was there this
week, dr the invitation of the Lore Mayor
and Lady Mayoreatr > The linvitation em
braces ,members- of the - Evangelioal,Alliantie
and their friends., The presentLord.Mayor 2
(his term of offioe expires-on the 9thinse.,)
is Mr.-Alderman Wire, an Evangelical Die- ,
seater and a Liberal. Repairing to the
Mansion House
,a little after 7 : P. M., I
passed through bedizened , livery servants up
grand staircases, and found at, the tons suite
of table rooms, opening into the • Egyptian
Hall, a very magnificent apartment, of vast "
preportions.
The company was in succession intro
dirtied, by their names beiag repeated, in a
stentorian voice, - by one of the Servants, to
therhostand hostess. - They stothl, in front
of r table, 'and at the hack, !gratified around,
were the-Lord Mayer's"tain 'end- daughters; '
with other , friends: !After 'paying our
respectsAhttsVefe 'passed thito a refiesininent
room wherutlni and coffee , were served, and
afterwards repaired to the., Egyptian Hall.
Here,, as la adjoining apartments, were
grouped in conversation, clergymen and lay
men,, both of town and country, and nine
notabilities; includiag Sir - John Laairence,
thevyoung Sir Henry HairelOok, and Miss
Marsh, (author of the Life of Hedley
Vioars,) of Beckenham. 'Sir Sohn Law
rence looked well, although' not quite
restored to , - 'health.• - He her a firm
tread, a commanding presence, an eye in.
which : the ", might of itAitrong.-purpose"
slumbers,- and a Atom's heart. With an
Episcopal clergyman,' I approached , him.
We 'made known to him that we were
Ulster men—as he is—and he received us
affably. He wore the broad : rest ribbon of
the, , Bath ion his breast He , spoke of Ire
land, and , said it was 'cheering to 'see , how
improved it was.
Young Havelock is not more thautvienty
two years old. He is slender, rather, tall,
quiet exceedingly in his aspect, with nothing
whatever of bravado or personal vanity in
his daring. There , was, not a glance that
betrayed the lurking ambition that would
say, "I am the man wherode in upon a
whole battery Jot t gnus; -in India, -through a
storm of shot, and for thatactreceived the
Victoria Cross." His face is almost feminine,
his features small, his nook slender, his hair
and slight moustache black and glossy, and,
besides those small ears, combativeness is
not seen. Yet there is one full of courage
—quiet .and impassablef as appeared his
father, who yet, when occasion demands,
would , opting ,into the saddle at the summons
of. peril, ; and ride without one moment's
hesitation, with ,fearless;,,calm, ainshrinking,
courage,• into the-very . thickest of 'the con
flict. It is the true type •of old English
courage, and• to its force is added• the fear of
God. Pleasant was it to see him, with gen
uine modestydoiningin the praises of God,
and kneeling down devoutly, and covering
his face
,with his hands, as prayer was
offered.
The Alliance-found a • welcome, from,the
Lard Mayor, in order that there might be
given intelligence with regard to the revi
vals in Ireland, and also mkt° the condition
of Continental PrOtutantism. As to the
latter, little was said, save to thAeffect that,
since the Berlin Conference of 1857, much
pro,gress—in an Evangelical eense—has been
made in Germany. Indeed it is not too
much to say that the Evangelical Alliance
has repeatedly exercised a powerful influence
in matters Continental. The German High
Churchmen- hate it cordially, and the 8,0-moniets
moniets ere now have been taught to bow
before its "power—as in the case of the
Madiai, and in the rallying of the force of
English, condemnatory opinion in the in
famous Mortara case.at Rome:
The Irish Awakening, however, was the
main topic of the evening. Benjamin
Scott, Esq , Chamberlain of the City of
Loudon, gave, in u a very; clear and unempas
sinned manner, yet in language indicating
profound conviction, his impressions as
drawn from a tour in Ulster. The sub
stance of his remarks was to the effect that
a marvelous moral and spiritual change, al
most incredible to any.who had seen it with
his own eyes (and' this I entirely endorse,)
had taken place • that ' churches and schools
were overcrowded; that vice hid its head;
that listlessness and indifference to the
Word of God had given place to,thewiost
earnest attention; rind 'that .where

General Alexander, an = officer of worth

impressions and convictions left on'his mind
by two visits to Ireland. If the conversions ,
were not the greatent delusions ever prac
tised upon man on earth, they were the
work of the. Spirit, of the living God. He
had examined them ,closely, and 'narrowly,
and had tested theta by that Word which

But tolreturn to-the Manaion House; Ivo
had a very interesting' staternent- fromlthe
Rev. Theophilns Campbell; onepol the Epis.
copal •of. Belfast. He pointed out
the tpreparatives ' , and' the pioneers 'of' the
awakening; especially-lin his -oriczt'vongrega: ,
tion r in a very striking manner; He refuted
the lying charge of Papists , ,,and l Unitarian
newspapers, that the revival had led.to itn-.
morality, and quoted to the great satieifie-'
tit% 'of the , audientifthe strong andileiiided
testimony of the =assistant Barrister at the'
Quarter &miens at Ballyruena‘(teptated-if--
terwards at Belfast) as to the highlstandard
of-imorality prevailing in-the County of An
trim;,and the-almost total absence , of- crime.
He stated that the Bishop ,of Downy and
Connor, who issued queries to his clergy,
hadreceivedreplies from'eightyineumbentsi ,
of the most decided character, as to the
blessed results.
Altogether, the results of such, statements
before such an influential and representative
audience as assembled at the Mansion
House, will be very important. The Eng :
lish mind is slow to believe, but on full and,
mature evidence, its convietione, though'
late, will be *tin& It is worthy of note,
that the Times does not notice the meeting
at the Mansion House, and'that the Daily ,
Telegraph, which was so rampant and bliS•

report of it. 'The editor oflthe Mornay

Presbyterian ministers, " you_ know that I

that 'it cannot be a bad thing which'pro

That was a noble and important confession;
such 'ainan is not far from the kinglicipr of
of God. My friend Richard Sulyth regards
him witlegreat hopefulness.

and sweeping also over the metropolis,
where several lives have been 'oat, and veS
eels wreeked in the river. The tempest'
seems to have been a cyclome, or rotatory . in
its 'character. At my present writing, the
thermometer is riaing, and mild weatherrhas

The finegoindthoughts, Messii Editors,
were 'suggetted by , a - perixeal of 'that admir
able work, entitled; " Letters on Pealroody,"-
hy-Rev. Win. Annan. And
,wh3,net, just

2d Another reason for a truce: on this
itit'estiOn, at leak untillbe Millennium, is the
, fast thatihese two publications have - lasted
almost contemporaneously from the: press,
so4hat ncither -can be said to be a rejoinder to
the other; the few remarks in the

should be hailed with mutual satisfaction,
And should.this whole discussion now close,
