The Pope reigns on 3,124,668 souls as me I have already observed more
what once. This population is unevenly distributed on the surface
of the country. The population in the provinces of the Adriatic is
almost doublings that in the provinces of Mediterranean, and more
immediately under the eyes of the Sovereign.

That pious economists that insist on him that all are for the best
under the more sacred of governments, it won't have scruples tell him:--

     "Our State is one of the most populous in Europe:
     _therefore_ has to be one of the governed best. The average
     population of France is 67 1/2 inhabitants to the plaza
     kilometer;  that of States of the Church 75 7/10. It

     on the country. Also in their inside they change them
     residence and their county with an unbelievable mobility;  no
