De par le roi défense à Dieu,
De faire miracle en ce lieu.
On the 17th or 24th July 1870 there might be written over the entrance of the Council Hall—
De par le Pape ordre au bon Dieu
De faire miracle en ce lieu.
The echo of the Vatican, Veuillot's Univers, has just been accusing the Bishops of the minority of ruining the papal treasury by prolonging the debates on infallibility through their opposition, and thus obliging the Pope to go on supporting his 300 episcopal foster sons, and buy his infallibility late and at a high price, when it ought to have been cast into his lap by spontaneous acclamation at the first. A physician has now been discovered for the treasury which has sickened under the infallibility affair. Rothschild is said to have been here and concluded a loan of forty million franks. As the deficit only amounts to thirty million, there remain ten million for fireworks, illuminations and church-decorations, the journey-money of trusty Bishops, and the like. But now the war is impending, and with [pg 778] it the withdrawal of Peter's pence and perhaps still worse.[154]
