Government have always had in If/w•.l
conditions of solid and durable pea:
that the new settlement should not of the
weakness of the old, but that when meNillineents
of dominion are combined and new bonds of site-
giance are required, the people should be satisfied,
so that they may willingly embrace the conditions
of pesos. On this account the Quasit's Govern-
ment desire that the wishes of the people of the
Duchies may be consulted on the choice of their
future ruler. Earl Rtraitu. observes that an
arrangement which should set aside those wishes
would only be a new source of disturbance and
disquiet in Europe. These remarks, necessarily
made from the point of view from which ninety-
nine Englishmen in every hundred have from the
first regarded this war, cannot be acceptable to
those who originated it, and are still in possession
of its spoils. But they were invited by the lead-
ing statesman of Germany, the chief actor in the
recent transactions ; they are expressed with mode-

ration, and we are snre that they will be universally
endorsed by the country.

DR. LIVINGSTONE'S ADDRESS AT THE

BRITISH ASSOCIATION.

• LA.116 GEV&

a„CONVE 13 FRANCE
The Tones of this morning says . have
great pleasure in announcing, upon authority on
which we can perfectly rely, that a most important
convention has just been concluded between the
Emperor of the French and the King of Italy—a
convention destined," ; and then the Times
proceeds to describe almost in our very words
the convention, of which full particulars appeared
in the Eyprus of Tuesday evening. "So far as
words go," observes the Times, " the position of
the Pope may not be very materially altered,
for the Italian government takes upon itself the
duty, at present discharged by France, of
neither attacking the Pope nor suffering others to
attack him. But, of course,there is a great difference
in the position which the Italian government will
occupy when intrusted with the safety of the Pope
from the position which it occupies now, when it
is one of the powers against which France under-
tikes to defend him. Its influence will be greatly
incessant, and the very existence of the Papacy
with even a shadow of temporal power must depend
upon the degree in which it can prevail upon itself
to act in accordance with Italian opinion. An
armed attack upon the Pope is not the only method
of coercion that can be employed, and we cannot
but hope that the result of the Convention in this
respect will be to produce a much greater harmony
than has hitherto existed between secular and
ecclesiastical power in Italy."
The article in this morning's Constitutionad, of
which some account is given in one of Renter's
telegrams, represents the official view in France, or,
at all events, what is wished to be regarded as the
official view, of the new convention and its results.

A Turin letter of the 18th says that the King
summoned a kind of Privy Council, composed
of men who had rendered him the greatest
services in all branches of the administration and
who have filled the most important places in the
state. Those men were consulted within the
last few days, and every one declared that the
future of Italy depended cc the solution of the
Roman question, and that without the hope of
one day going to Rome there never would have
existed a kingdom of Italy. The superior council
of defence, including Generals Cialdini, Durando
(commander of the department of Milan). La
Rocca, Menabrea, and Admiral Persano, presided
over by Prince Carignan, is said to have advised
the Ring, admitting the case of an aggression on
on the part of the ancient enemies of the Italian
Peninsula, to place his capital in a centre from
which the attack and defence might be more
easily directed. Florence, they think, would pre-
sent the advantages sought for, and the capital
I would no longer be at the mercy of a coup de
main.

In the opinion of the ultramontane journal
Le Monde it would be a cause of deep regret if diplo-
matists could believe the realisation of such projects
to be possible, but it adds, " if the treaty in ques-
tion has been really signed, we should regret it
more for the sake of France, which would have lost
thereby one of her noblest and most honourable
titles, than be troubled on account of the papacy,
which may be abandoned by all the Powers of earth,
but never by the Almighty Power."

FRANCE AND THE ROMAN QUESTION.
PARIS. Sirr. Z 2.
_ _ _

The Constihttionnel of to-day, in an article on the
Roman question, signed by M. Limayrac, observes
that the occupation of Rome has always been
regarded as both exceptional and temporal/. The
writer continues :—" The French government,
impressed by the happy change that has taken
place in the Italian peninsula within the last two
years, the anarchical passions haviug there been
either appeased or suppressed, was ready to seize
the first opportunity of putting an end to a situa-
tion embarrassing and onerous to all. Moreover,
so soon u the Italian government, hitherto occu-
pied in discussing the necessary organisation of
a new state, and iu determining upoa the
choice of a capital on strategic, administrative,
and political grounds, had given notice of its reso-
lution to transfer the capital, the government of
the Emperor thought that the moment had come
to deliberate upon the conditions which would
enable it to leave Rome with perfect safety.',
The article then points out the following stipula-
tions of the arrangement that has been concluded :
Italy engages herself to respect the actual ter-
ritory of the Pope, and to prevent by force any
attack that may be made on it from abroad.
France is to withdraw her troops in proportion
to the organisation of the Pontifical army, the
evacuation of Rome to be accomplished in two years.
The Pontifical army to be of a sufficient strength
to maintain the Papal authority and tranquillity
both in the interior and on the frontiers of the Papal
States ; the Italian govenmeut to raise no objection
to either the elements or number of men composing
that army, provided always that it does not
degenerate into means of attack against Italy.
Finally, Italy undertakes the liquidation of a
share of the Roman debt, proportioned to the
extent of those states of the church now annexed
to the kingdom of Italy.
The Constifutionne/ reprints also the letter of the
Emperor to M. Thouvenel, dated May 20, 1862.

DISTURBANCES AT TURIN.

aspect.
