ENGLAND AND ROME.

A postscript to a letter from Rome of the 20th,
in the Temps, says :—" I believe it is certain
that M. Lavalette has received from Paris
a copy of a sort of note from England,
prompting the cabinet of the Tuileries to
evacuate Rome. To-day, on his return from
Ceprano, the marquis read this note to the
cardinal, but merely as a piece of information.
The marquis, I can positively state, though
speaking in the conservative language, does not
pitch his words in so reassuring a key as that of
M. de la Gueronniere."

ROME.
THE FRENCH PRESS ON THE
"MONITEUR'S" COMMUNICATION.

Thermal, concludes an analysis of the documents
with remarking :—" The Emperor wrote, in his
letter of May 20, It is most urgent that the
Roman question should receive a definitive solu-
tion.' This urgency is far more imperative now
than in the month of May; everyone knows it,
and in publishing his letter in the .31°11,i/cur, the
Emperor proves that he knows it better than any-
one else. This is the main point."

The Sidle observes :—" This is the second time
during the present year that the French govern-
ment has made known that its propositions have
been rejected. It remains for us to learn what ars
the present intentions of the French government.
On the 20th May, 186% the Emperor described
Italy as a new state, probably too weak to keep
down anarchical tendencies. Since then Italy has
given guarantees to the men of order ; it has
bees recognised by two great powers, and its
interests cannot be sacrificed to those of a
temporal power condemned in the minds of the
people, and which cannot or will not subscribe to
any of the conditions laid down in the Emperor's
I letters—that which we report to-day, and that
which he addressed to Edgar Ney in 1849. To
every demand of reform it replies by a non pas-
sumus, and to every demand of conciliation Italy
replies by the word ' Italiam."
The Debate says :—" As, moreover, the Moniteur
does not append any commentary to the documents
published in its columns, it would be rash to at-
tempt to determine too rigorously the motives
which have caused the French government to make
this communication to the public. Was it desired
to attest its solicitude for the maintenance of what
yet remains of the temporal power ? Has it wished
to prepare for the evacuation of Rome ?
Does it wish merely to divest itself of its
responsibility I Does it, in fine, wish to reserve to
itself a last chance of discharging the office of
mediator► In our opinion we shall soon have
clearer information upon this point."
The Tempe says that the documents do not alto-
gether respond to the actual circumstances. "They
are already some months old, and prior to the
attempt of General Garibaldi Now, it is acknow-
ledged by everybody that this attempt, so far from
having ameliorated the situation, has rather aggra-
vated it, and has rendered still more desirable that
final settlement the urgency of which is fully recog-
nised in the correspondence published."
The Indipendance of Brussels thinks that the
whole question now is whether the delay referred
to by the Tuileries cabinet, and beyond which it
believes that it cannot remain in this untenable
position, has expired, or is on the point of expiring.
"The publication itself of these important documents
in the Moniteur is a symptom which might easily
be interpreted into an affirmative sense."

The Nord asks :—" Will the eventuality an-
nounced by M. Thouvenel be speedily realised
Such is the question which is the order of the day,
and the declaration of the 30th of May leads in
some measure to the solution indicated a few days
ago by the Constitutionnel, viz., to leave the Sacred
College in the premix* of the Roman populations,
after guaranteeing the territory against all inva-
sion."
