The birth of the King of Rome has naturally produced those congratulations which are customary in all courts , on the births of princes . Adulation fol - lows greatness , however acquired ; and in this case , to worldly policy it may seem advantageous that the throne should be established , rather than that the demise of the sovereign should open the door to future convulsions .
To those , however , who consider what Rome has been , the birth of this child and the title given to it present many very serious reflections . Rome has been the
great seat of spiritual apostacy . For a long time , this city lorded over the sovereigns of the earth , and was drunk with the blood of martyrs . The greater part of the Christian world was carried away by its dissimulations and delusions . We have lived to see a

to Rome , and be enthroned in glory . The title of the new-born child seems to drive away every idea of the Pope regaining his temporal authority ; and ifhei * ever restored to Rome , still he
cannot be permitted to enjoy the honours which exceeded those of royalty . He cannot rise above the dignity of a priest , and must bend to regal authority . This seems the probable course of things ; but we should hope that his return to Rome ii for ever cut off , that no mori meetings shall be in the conclave , and that with the old , ' man who now holds the title it shall
