"THE AMERICAN written by Rodin, that he started and tit his lips with rage, as he recognized the words of the greit poet, truly Christian, who had dealt such rude blows to the false church. Rodin waited for some moments with angry impatience, think ing the voice would continue; but Kose-PomjKWi was silent, or only continued to hum, and soon changed to another air, that of the good pope, which she eutoned, but without words. Kodin, not venturing to look out of his window to see who was this troublesome warbler, shrugged his shoulders, resumed his pen, and continued: " To it again. We must exasperate the hide, pendent spirits in all countries excite ph;h,,j,!,;, rage all over Europe make liberalism foam at the mouth raise all that is wild and noisy against Rome. To effect this, we must proclaim in the face of the world these three propositions: 1. It is abominable to assert that a man may be saved in any faith whatever, provided his morals be pure. 2. It is odious and a surd to grant liberty of conscience to the people. 3. The lib erty of the press cannot be held in too much horror. S,e Pope Gregory XVI.'s Encyclical Letter to the Bishops in France, 1S32.J "We must bring the Vnp-fed-mnh to declare these propositions in every respect orthodox- show him their good efl'ect upon despotic govern ment upon true Catholics, the muzzlers of the people. He will fall into the snare. The proposi tions once published, the storm will burst forth A general rising against Rome a wide schism the sacred college divided into three parties. One approves the other blames the third trembles. The Sid Jfai, still more frightened than he is now at having allowed the destruction of Poland, will shrink from the clamours, reproaches, threats, and violent ruptures that he has oceas . ioned. "That is well and goes far. "Then, set the pope to shaking the conscience of the Sid- J, to disturb his mind, and terrify his soul. " To sum up. Make everything hitler to him divide his council isolate him frighten him redouble the ferocious ardor of good Albani re vive the appetite of the Sanfedistsf give them a glut of liberals let there be pillage, rape, mas sacre, as at Cesena a downright river of Car bonaro blood the Sid- Man will have a surfeit of it. So many butcheries in his name he will shrink, be sure he will shrink every day will have its remorse, every night its-terror, every minute its anguish; and the abdication he already threatens will come at last perhaps too soon. That is now the only danger; you must provide against it. f Hardly had the Sixteenth Gregory ascended the pontifical throne, than news came of the ris ing in Bologna, His first idea was to call the Austrians, and inch.' 'the Sanfedist volunteer bands of fanatics. Cardinal Alcini defeated the liberals at Cesena, where his followers pillaged churches, sacked the town, and ill-treated women. At Forli, cold-blooded murders were committed. In 1832 the Sanfedists (IIy Faithitie) openly paraded their medals, bearing the heads of the Duke of Modena and the pope; letters issued by the apostolic confederation; privileges and indul gences. They took the following oath: 'I, A. B., vow to rear the throne aid altar over the bones of infamous freedom-shriekers, and exter minate these latter without pity for the children's cries and women's tears.' The disorders perpe trated by these marauders went beyond all bounds; the Romish Couit regularized anarchy and organized the Sanfedists into volunteer corps, to which fresh privi'eges were granted. Revue des Deux Mondes, Nov. 15th, 1844 'La Revolution en Italie.' "In case of an abdication, the grand peniten tiary has understood me. Instead of confiding to a general the direction of our Order, the best militia of the Holy See, I should command it myself. Thenceforward this militia would me no uneasiness. For instance: the Janissaries and the - Pra-torian Guards were always fatal to authority why? because they were able to or ganize themselves as defenders of the govern ment, independently of the government; hence their power of intimidation. "Clement XIV. was a fool. To brand and abolish our Company was an absurd fault. To protect and make it harmless, by declaring himself the General of the Order, is what he should have done. The Company, then at his mercy, would have consented to anything. lie would have absorbed us, made us vassals of the Holy See, and would no longer have had to fear our service. Clement XIV, died of the colic. Let him heed who hears. In a similar case, I should not die the same death." Just then, the clear and liquid voice of Rose Pompon was again heard. Rodin bounded with rage upon his seat ; hut soon, as he listened to the following verse, new to him (for, unlike Phile mon's widow, he had not his Bcranger at his fingers' ends), the Jesuit, accessible to certain odd, superstitious notions, was confused and almost frightened ut so singular a coincidence It is Beranger's Good Pope who speaks: " What are monarch ? shoepUh wu! Or thryV robber, puffed with pride, , Wearing badge of crlms b'ou. Till their certain grave gap wlJe. If they'll your out coin for me, I'll abco've them-klo aod tune! If they haggle they shall My Hint dancing on their tbrore! So laugh aay! Leap, ny favj Only watch hurl the thunder First of all, bu; '. us unde r, I'm the I 'ope, the whole world' wonder"' Rodin, half-risen from his chair, with out stretched neck and attentive eye, was still listen ing, when Rose-Pompon, flitting like a bee from flower to flower of her r,jertr, had already be gun the delightful air of Colibri. Hearing no more, the Jesuit reseated himself, in a sort of stupor; but, after some minutes' reflection, his couutence again brightened up, and he seemed to see a lucky omen in this singular incident. He resumed his pen, and the first words lie wrote partook, as it. were, of this strauge coniidt iice in fate. "I have never had more hope of success than at this moment. Another reason to neglect noth ing. Every presentiment demands redoubled zeal. A new thought occurred to me yesterday. " We shall act here in concert. I have founded an ultra-Catholic paper, called Seiijhhui-hj bi From its ultramontane, tyrannical, liberticidal fm v. it will be thousrht the oreun of Rome. I - - j 7 n w will confirm these reports. They will cause new terrors. " That will be well. "I shall raise the question of liberty of instruc tion. The raw liberals will support us. Like fools, they admit us to equal rights; when our privileges, our influence of the confessional, our obedience to Rome, all place us beyond the circle of equal rights, by the advantages which we en joy. Double fools! they think us disarmed, be cause they have disarmed themselves towards us. "A burning question irritating clamors new cause of disgust for the Weak Man. Every little makes a mickle. " That also is very well. "To sum up all in two words The end is ah dication the means, vexation, incessant torture. The Rennepont inheritance will pay for the elec tion. The price agreed, the merchandise will be sold." Rodin here paused abruptly, thinking he had heard some noise at that door of his, which opened on the stircase; therefore he listened with suspended breath; but all remaining silent, he thought he must have been deceived, and took up his pen: " I will take care cf the Rennepont business the hinge on which will turn our temporal oper ations. We must begin with the foundation substitute the play of interests, and springs of passion, for the stupid club-law of Father d'Aig- ritrny. He nearly compromised everything and yet he has good parts, knows the world, has pow ers of seduction, quick insight but plays ever in a single key, and is not great enough to make himself little. In his stead, I shall know how to make use of him. There is good stuff in the man. I availed myself in time of the full powers given by the R. F. G.; I may inform Father d'Aigrigny, in case of need, of the secret engage ments taken by the General towards myself. Until now, I have let him invent for this inheri tance the destination that you know of. A good thought, but reasonable. The same end, by other means. " The information was false. There are over two hundred millions. Should the eventuality occur, what was doubtful must become certain An immense latitude is left us. The Rennepont business is now doubly mine, and within three months, the two hundred millions will be ours, bv the free will of the heirs themselves. It must be so; for this failing, the temporal part would escape me, and my chances be diminished by one-half. I have asked for lull powers; time presses, and I act as if I had them. One piece of information is indispensable for the success of my projects.' I expect it from you, and I must have it; do you understand me.' lac powerful j influence of your brother at the Court of Vienna will seive you in this. I wish to have the most precise details as to the present position of the Duke de Reichstadt the Napoleon II. of the Imperialists. Is it possible, by means of your brother, to open a secret correspondence with the prince, unknown to his attendant;? "Look to this promptly. It is urgent. This note will be sent off to-day. I shall complete it to-morrow. It will reach you, as usual, by the hands of the petty shop-keeper." At the moment when -Rodin was sealing this letter within a double envelope, he thought lhat he again heard a noise at the door. He listened. (Continued on page 8.) A lay f tbr tailed State.
