ROME. . TR POPE'S RNOTCLICAL. Lo{lnon‘, April 28.—The passago in tha Popea's encyclical, the fasue of which was announced yesterday, reparding the civll power of the Church, {s as follows: “The hopes of Italy and the world rest on the beneficont Influence of the Holy Bee, and on tho {atimate unlon of all tho faithful with the Roman Toot!ft. It thercforc stands to reason that we should, with all diligence, do all in.our power to prescrve {ntact the dignity of tho Roman Cathedrs, o order, before all things, to gunrd the rights and liberty of the Holy See. We shall never ccase to Insist that our author- ity bo respected, that our ministry and our power be left fully frea and {ndependeat, and that the position be restored to us In which divine wisdom long axo placed us. It s no vain desire of dominfon which moves us to demand the re-catablishment of our civil power, Wo demand It because our dutfes and our solemn oaths exact it, and because it Is not only necessary to conscrve fully the iiberty of the spiritual power, but also because it is evident that, when [t Is aquestionSol the tem- poral dominion of the Apostolic See, it Involves tho lv‘vell‘-belmz and safoty of the wholo human famlly.’ ‘The Pope distinctly indorscs the policy and acts of his predecessor condemns civil “mar- rizges, nod deplores the rejection of the au- thority of the Church, proctaiming that to b the causc of all existing evils, but in language of calmness and uumu{. devofd throughout of any toue of offense or vlolence, The encyelleal cantains no attack whatever npon the civil Gov- erntnent of Italy, nor any mentlon direct or In- direet of the House of 8avoy.

The most Industrious rearch fails to find any one whose opinion is valuable who thinks the dlsclosuro will be more than a temporary sensation. It wos fntended to as- sist the Blalr party in forcing the flouse to actlon upon the Quo Warranto bill. 1ts premn- ture disclosure las to some extent destroyed its usecfulness: for that purposc. Democrats had expected to spring McLin's confesslon upon the House, and to press immediate fnvestization, The scheme s discovered, and, to the mortifica- tlori of the Demucrats, waa first disctosed by Republlean journals.

The only avpreciable differcnce Is that there Is a hellel In the probanility of another Investiga- tlon.
