At Rome, aged 80, His Holiness Pope Gregory XVI. The late Pope. Mauro Capellari, was born at Belluno in the Venetian States, on the 18th of September, 1765, and entered at an early age the Camaldoli, a branch of the Benedictines. He distinguished himself in his studies, and in course of time became professor of theology in his order. He appears first to have attracted the attention of a wider public by the dialectic taleat he displayed in 1799, in a controversy with Tamburini and his scholars. Father Capellari was one of the first members of the Academy of Catholic Religion, instituted by Pius VII. From 1801 to 1804 he resided at Rome, was constant in his attendance at its meetings, and continued an annual dissertation tending to promote the objects of the institution. The intention of the discourse delivered in 1801 was to show, that "the errors that have sometimes accompanied the general consent of mankind on the existence of God, do not weaken the force of the general argument ;" that of his discourse in 1802, to prove that "the natural law prescribes the rendering to God an interior and exterior worship, which is designated under the name of religion." In 1803, he undertook to establish that the prophecy of Daniel on the seventy weeks has reference solely to the Messiah; and, in 1804, that "the Christian religion ought to be, and is essentially, one in its principles of faith and morals." When Pius VII. was carried off from Rome, Father Capellari returned to the Venetian territory, and joined several of his religious brethren in their monastery at Murano, near Venice. For some years he taught in the college established there by Cardinal (at that time simply Father) Zurla. In 1811, the library of the Camaldoli (already much diminished by revolutionary plunder) was taken from them and sold by auction. In 1814, Father Capellari, with the other members of the college, removed to Padua. He was recalled to Rome soon after the restoration of Pius VII. and appointed successively Procurator and Vicar-General of the Ca. maldoli, and Abbot of St. Gregory's on Monte Celio. He was soon after nominated councillor of several of the sacred congregations; amongst others, of the supreme tribunal and the Propaganda. Leo XII. elevated Father Capellari to the purple, March 21, 1825, and in his allocation to the consistory, intimated that the GENT. MAG. VOL. XXVI. new cardinal owed his promotion to "the innocence of his life, and the gravity of his manners, the extent of his know. ledge, and his experience in ecclesiastical matters." He was soon after nominated Prefect of the Propaganda, and continued to discharge the duties of that arduous office with unabating zeal and activity, until he was elected Sovereign Pontiff. In the conclave of 1828, Mauro Capellari was one of the Cardinals most favoured, and the most violently opposed by what was termed the Austrian party. In the conclave of 1831 the Cardinal Pacca, proposed by that party of which the Cardinal Albani was the head, had obtained during a previous ballot 19 votes; but at the last one six or seven votes escaped being influenced by Cardinal Albani, and Cardinal Capellari obtained the majority. The Sacred College is composed of 57 members. He was elected Pope on the 2nd of February, 1831, and sat on the pontifical throne under the name of Gregory XVI. "Pope Gregory filled the Pontifical chair for more than fifteen years, during a period of no ordinary interest and difficulty in the affairs of the Church, and in the relations of the Vatican with the temporal powers of Christendom. When the vote of the Sacred College summoned Cardinal Capellari to the highest office of the Romish Church, the French Revolution of 1830 had just inflicted a tremendous blow on the ecclesiastical party in France, and the elder branch of the Bourbons had sunk into exile and impotency, mainly from its blind devotion to the ultra-montane policy and the religious bigotry of its leading members and advisers. Throughout Europe it seemed probable that the great contest of freedom and of absolutism in matters of opinion and of faith, as well as of government, was about to be renewed; and the convulsions which had paralysed the influence of Rome in other states threatened to destroy her security at home. The first foreign act of the new government of France was to plant the tricolor flag at Ancona. Italy quivered in her chains; disturbances broke out in almost every part of the Peninsula, but especially in the Papal States. It seemed as impossible to support the crumbling fabric of the temporal power of the Vatican as to effect a sufficient reform of abuses, which time, superstition, and a thousand vices had rendered inveterate. The Austrian troops crossed the Po to support the Papal Government; and though the whole N reign of Gregory XVI. has been spent upon a volcano on the eve of an eruption, the ancient system of Papal misgovernment has survived another Pope; and he leaves his temporal powers to his successor, more enfeebled, more embarrassed, more disgraced by the oppression of Rome and of the Legations, but nevertheless not wholly lifeless or overthrown. The promises he made for the reform of the administration upon his accession remain unfulfilled. The natural tendencies of the moderate party to which he had belonged, and of his own amiable disposition, were overruled by the Cardinals who exercised power in his name; and his reign cannot escape the charge of cruelty in the repression of political offences, and of a most bigoted resistance to the practical improvements of the age. "The reign of Gregory XVI. will, however, be chiefly remembered for the remarkable activity which has pervaded the Roman Catholic Church in every land whilst he occupied the chair of St. Peter, and by the great conflicts it was his lot to sustain with most of the great Powers of the world. Simple in his habits, narrow in his ideas, timid in his manners, incapable of civil government, the Pope nevertheless displayed in the affairs of the Church a vigour and a decision equal to the great emergencies which arose about him. He was deeply versed in all the lore of the Roman hierarchy; he was conscientiously devoted to the maintenance of the rights of his Church and the performance of the duty he owed her; and in this spirit of modest dignity he guided the destinies of that mighty institution, and governed the most complex system of spiritual polity which has ever existed among men. "We have already alluded to the French revolution, which had so recently preceded his election; but that blow was destined to be followed by various events of the deepest interest to the Roman Churchby controversies touching the ecclesiastical polity of that kingdom, and striking at the root of ecclesiastical influence in the education of the country, and by a fierce contest between the national spirit of the French revolution and the reviving influences of Christianity. The Pope ultimately sacrificed the Jesuits in France; but the eminent man who obtained that concession as the representative of King Louis Philippe at the Court of Rome, has since employed it to strengthen all the ties which once united the Cabinet of France to the Vatican. Whatever events may now be in store for Italy, the ascendancy acquired at Rome by M. Rossi is an auspicious omen of the services he may render by his adopted to his mother country. "The revolutions of Spain and Portugal, the changes of dynasty and the civil wars which have devastated the Peninsula, shook the Roman Catholic Church in those states to its foundations, plundered it of its wealth, and, we trust we may add, purged it of some abuses and expiated some of its crimes. The closing years of the reign of Gregory XVI. witnessed a renewal of the relations which had subsisted for so many ages between the Sovereigns of the Peninsula and the Sovereign Pontiff; and the government of the Church has once more been re-established in the dominions of the Most Catholic and the Most Faithful Queens. In Belgium, the Catholic cause, adapting itself with singular pliancy to the political accidents of the age and to the social condition of the people, formed an alliance with the principles of national independence and civil freedom. A new State was added to the family of Europe, which owed its rise to the influence of an active and ardent priesthood. In Ireland a similar spirit has animated a large portion of the Romish clergy. But, upon the whole, the policy of Gregory XVI. has not been to foment by spiritual influence the intrigues of political agitators.
