Papal States, August 8. The King of Italy's intention
to send an armed force into the States for the maintenance
of order and the security of the Holy See was most dis-
tasteful to the Pope. Italian troops entered Eome on the 20th

who ceased fighting at the Pope's request. The Pope had
to surrender his "Temporal" Power, and "Italy" re-
mained in Eome.
