Cardinal Antonelli represented this measure ais a necessity , the stoppage of the annual sub- sidy from Spain having crippled the Pap: cbequer, and rendered it unable to support the present force. General Kanzler, on tne ober and, maintained that a reduction of the army would not caly prodace a bad effect on the Catholic world, but would operate as an en- couragement to the Revolutionists. He further contended that it would be impossible to repel the volunteers who were flocking from all ports to the Pontifical standard =A warm ar- gument was going ou between the General Cardinal Antonelli, when the Pope suddenly claimed: “Enough about soldiers! we bave many of them.”” Thisis imderstood to have settha the question.
