FLORENCE, *TAN. 2.

Baron Rica/soli having failed to find a Minister
of the Interior, conies boldly forward, and although allowing
that it would be useful to complete the cabinet, Insintains
that the ministry can still carry on successfully the affairs
of the state ; he will probably keep his position in spite of
the opposition, the most active of these being the movemeat
party, who are for pushing forward at all hazards, sag as
moos as possible staking the issue on Italian right aims ;
they would not be satisfied with • Mager French arenas in
the government, or with the quiet system of neireasineset
sad expectation for some years. As a amend prier* this
idea of self-help is without doubt right, sad no cos willowy
that the wise test of the fitness of Italy for freedom will be
bwr own power of ranks( it. Irina' are the people to
decide whether the Pope shall be sovereign of their mime%
capital, air whether Austria shall remain mirror of
Vries; but their kind friend of France, who acts
r many busy friends in private life, and insists
oa giving aid in the most disagreeable way, and
even offen it when least wanted, decides that
the young nation is not yet ready to receive its re-
ward. Doss the Emperor believe that he is now sowing
the suds of future friendship, and that 26,000,000 of
united: and free people, as we hope soon to see Italy, nail
feel grateful towards him for the tender care of their early
days ? We in England do not suMeintly spender the

wises, if real sad mined freedom am contras to be dis-
seminated as at present ; the rapid growth of the rue
mat be very striking to those who knew Italy some years
eines. At Turin a newspaper seems to be almost as noose-
wry to breakfast as at home, and yet a certain class of lour
asestryleee, with their usual self-satisfactioe, sneer at the
&Bookies sad straggles now existing ; a common selitence
is, that Italy never was and never will be united; alto-
gether forgetting fur how many centuries our ancestors
carried on the same contest ; that, not much more than •
century ago, England trembled at the descent of a few ball-
chiciplioed mountaineers, and that many still alive can
remember Ireland in a chrook state of rebellion. It is not
now the question as to what Italy once was, but what she
now wires, and is able to be. The abuse of precedent or re-
finer to the peat is often productive of immense mischief,
when circumstances are entirely altered ; as the author of
• late pamphlet on the temporal powerof the Pope correctly
remarks, " it is sot now the question how useful this power
/when been in ages sodifferent (remains; thequestiun now
is if it be so at present." We believe it never was beneficial
to either religion or humanity (if two words may be used that
earns almost the err idea), and we agree with Dante
that the couferriog of temporal power on the head of the
church was • curse to the world. One of the finest pea-
sages in "Purgatorio" is • lament on the divided state of
Italy demanding union under • strong grommet, and
this mighty poem has doubtless bail its effect
in binding the minds of the nation together
and preparing them for the position they are
soon to occupy. Whatever may have been for ages the
faults of this people, and their petty dissensions and faction
fights, it must be acknowledged that they have suffered
severely from foreign foes. These took advantage of their
disunion and made Italy the cockpit of the world. She now
seems to have profited by the severe lemons, and all parties
are willing to make sacrifices, the only differences of opinion
being as to what amount or for what end. None of the
States united last year are contented with the present etre
of affairs ; none are willing that the other should be first,
bat like the monks in Carlyle's " Monastery," all will vote
Rome mooed, if not first.

The King, when receiving the complimentary deputation
of New Year, said that Italy must prepare to make new
sticrifices to fulfil the glorious undertaking of ludo-
modems. What sacrifices will be made remains to
be proved. Will politicians give up all jalousies
and ambition for the one great object of unity?
Will the republican party be satisfied to throw their energise
into the great national struggle, and work for the great end
wader a king who has so far proved himself to be the right
man in the right place? Will the nobles and clergy yield
ere it be too late, and take their true position sea leaders of
the people! blame do so ; but there is a large party ad-
verse and retrograde. Yost important of all, will the taxes
be quietly paid when apparently oo adman is being made
towards the great aid? The toss of the majority of
the press would indicate a favourable solution of
these difficulties ; and although we notice the not unusual
desire that public works should be pushed on in the various
districts in which tech paper may be published,
the press is agreed oa the necessity of unity and prepara-
tion to attain it. A feeling seems to be of late on
the increase that Garibaldi is meditating moms action, and
some of his letters support this opinion. if the country rows
with him resistance would be impossible, but that this would
occur seems more than doubtful, and an unsuccessful attack
on either Venice or Rome would be almost fatal. The
Italian army is doubtless excellent, but es at peanut ea-
lamed it is not yet proportionably stronger than two yearn
since. The Southern material is not yet as good es the
Northern, and the Auetriaa position is now much stronger
than that of 1859. Nothing is impossible to a people deter-
mimed to win liberty, and if Garibaldi unfurls his banner we
wish him the wooer due to aerie'.
