Di tohloezer, the Prussian Ambassador to tn* 'ope. The emisaary was aubatquenlly totived at tbs Vatican aud then at once eturued to Oermauy. The Calbolio papers made a note of these prooeediugn, giving it to be understood that tbe affair was con irning tbe Pop*'* departure, without lowever, entering into fuller detail*. To- y it i* rumored that tbe emiasary uac ootue to inform Leo XIII. that Onimany u oase His llohaeis would leave Home would see to U that Jerusalem would be ceded to him iu entire sovereignty, to there definitely establish tbe holy teal. It is not itaited wbat tbe Pope'a reply was, but there s svery reason to believe that the Pope would never consent to Isave Home with out intention cf rstnruiug ; that b* might eek a temporary asylum ouuide of Italy >ut never a new capital. Aisnob an asylum t is objected that Jerusalem is too far rom ths centre of Catholic oouulri** that the Pope would find himself relegated to the borders of Mahometan, Orthodox jreek and Buddhist religious, aud that h iaa already declared for a plaoe ol aojoarn nearer Home. England offers him Malta and other hospitable powers places i about an equal dmlanoe, |hu* : Au-tria, town in Tyrol ; tb* Principality of Monaco la own capital ; France, it is aaid, i tlyeres Island*, etc. Tbe question ol Jeru aalem as the new capital has already beeu raised several times, aud tbe cradle Christianity would certainly be more worth; of receiving the holy seat than any othe city. Should ths Pope be induced to fix bii permanent residence there several qua* ion* would arise. Would the Ottoman Empire cede Jerusalem to tbe Pope? Would t be sustained ID its resistance by a Euro peau power .' Would, lor example, Ku*i illuw the oentre of Catholicity to be Iran* 'erred so near to her borders ?
