THE MISSION OF CARLOS VII.

"CsDint this title the ' Civilta Ciitlolica' has lately publi>hod an interesting article, in which it accuses the Revolution of having propagated wilful falsehoods throughout Europe by moans of telegraphic agencies, and of having &hainelessly employed the meanest artifices,, with the object of injuring the Carlist cause. "After Pope Pius IX," continues the Civilta, " there is no other man in the world who has, of laic Tears, been so honored and glorified by the rage of the Revolution as Charles VII. And it is n fact well worthy of notice that Bismarck detests, next to the Roman Pontiff, no one so much as this young king, who, iv Die name of Christian liberty, boldly proclaims both lus desire and his fixed intention of killing the Revolution. The man of iron, who everywhere trends the weak underfoot, and triumphantly elevates might above 'right, is enraged against this indomitable prince, who is determined to restore, by main force, right to its proper place above might." The article, after commending to the imitation of fu-iul-hcarlcd Catholics and lukewarm Conservatives the energetic example of Don Carlos, who h;ib forced tlie Revolution to unmask itself in its true character, and lias incurred the undying vengeance of the Freemasons, proceeds to prai&c him, especially for his religious piety as an humble disciple of Jesus Christ and an obedient son of the Church. He it, a declared Catholic, and a SAVorn foe to every form of apostasy from Christ. "lie aspires," it continues, "to reign in virtue of the right which, at his birth, God conferred upon him, and to reign for the honor of the same God, who says, 'By Me kings reign.' Ho neither desires to be King of the Revolution nor to bo King by the Revolution ; but king of the people whom God bus given him and to be king by God for the welfare of the people whom He has given him. '1, as the son of kings,' he wrote, ' have understood that the people do not belong to the prince, but that the prince is created for the people; and that a kiag ought to glory in being the father of the poor, tlio supporter of the weak, and mo^l honored man in his kingdom, as he is already the first gentleman in it.' " The article concludes by declaring thai, in the hatred with which the Revolution regards Don Carlos, in common with the Church and the name of Jesus Ohrisfc, is to be seen a proof of Divine favor and of Providential designs towards Spain, and, perhaps the whole of Christendom. Such a cause, supported by the prayers of thouuands upon thousands of the faithful, cannot bo lost.
