VICTOR EMMANUEL AND THE POPE.

A Turin letter, of Sept. 9, nays :

Within the last two or three days there has been much
talk in political circles of the Abbe Stellardi's sodden
journey to Rome. This prelate is the King's first chaplain,
and the rumour goes that he is charged to deliver to the
Pope an autograph letter front the Princess Pia, in which
her royal highnees announces her approaching marriage t .
the King of Portugal, and begs the Holy Father's blessing.
It will be remembered that the penmen is Pine IX.'e
god-daughter, and that be held her over the baptismal font
in the year of his elevation to the papacy. But it is pre-
tended that, besides the avowed object of Abbi fitellardi's
IniNion, there is another and a secret one—namely, to
speak in the ear of the Pope, for the last time, words
of conciliation, and to submit proposals for an arrangement
between the Holy See and Italy. Of course the answer is
known beforehand ; it will be Hon powwow. But, foreseeing
the time when Italy, in despair, may take her own salvation
into her own hands, the King wishes to have a clear con-
science, and to be able to say that up to the last moment
he spared no effort to realise that accord between Italy and
the papacy which was the dream of Carom.

M. RATTAZZI AND THE FRENCH
GOVERNMENT.

The Turin correspondent of the Iwiependance
writes as follows, under date of Sept. 9 :

I am in a position to confirm and to complete the in-
formation and details furnished to you by your Paris
correspondents respecting the intentions of the imperial
government, the personal disposition of the Emperor, and
the visit of Prince Napoleon to his cousin. AU that my
colleagues have written to you is perfectly correct. Not
only does the Emperor refuse to make the least concession
to the dearest aspirations of the Italians—Rome—
bat he refuses even to discuss the question or to
explain the motives which induce him to maintain
the status quo. Neither H. Nigro, nor the ministers
favourable to Italy, nor Prince Napoleon himself have been
able to obtain from him the slightest explanation. His re.
spoose to all has been as laconic as clear and explicit—" I
ainnot withdr►w my troops from Rome." It is impossible
to get another word from the Emperor, except that he has
signified that he did not wish to be spoken to on this sub-
ject during his visit to Biarritz. This desire has been noti-
fied in rather sharp terms to the Italian government from
three different quarters. You will easily conceive that
this creates. situation for the Rattarai government which
it will be almost impossible for them to maintain.
After sacrificing to the French alliance their sympathies,
their sentiments, their old friendships, their popularity, their
reputation for independence; after sacrificing to it Gari-
baldi and hie brave comrades ; after jeopardising in ace rtain
measure the popularity of the King himself, there wee
reason to expect better dispositions on the part of the
imperial government—that government which could
by a word establish tranquillity in the peninsula and
draw a veil of oblivion over the disasters of the last few
days. There is still some hope that the dispositions of the
imperial government will be modified, and it is with this
hope that H. Itattaxxi and hie colleagues still remain in the
government. They are encouraged to remain by that frac-
tion of the French government which is favourable to Italy,
and which has not yet withdrawn.
