LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26.

THE first fruits of the new Franco-Italian Treaty
are bitter—confusion, civil tumult, and slaughter.
The Ministers who negotiated it have fallen from
power, and no one covets the heritage they have
left ; they have precipitated a great national crisis,
in the midst of which they disappear. The curse of
foreign intervention is still on Italy ; her old
enemies, however, could not stir up civil war, only
her friends are equal to that achievement. The
other day it was at Aapromonte that Italian blood
was shed by Italians; to-day it is at Turin, under
the windows of the KING.

No excuse can be made for the rioters an Grin ;
they were probably those who would personally
suffer least by the proposed changes ; in any case
they could have inflicted no greater injury upon
their country than by exhibiting it to the world
divided and bewildered at a moment when it needs
all its fortitude. The Municipal authorities ap-
pear to have forgotten that the duty of main-
taining order does not depend on the justness of
the policy of the ministry of the day. The
National Guards, too, were resolved to leave the
duty of suppressing disturbances to the troops of
the line. This estrangement from the Govern-
ment is sad, but not surprising. At this moment
every Italian finds his self -control put to a severe
test. The government of Vic-roa EMANUEL has
undertaken for the Italian nation that it shall re-
nounce an idea which for years has made part of
its national life. This was not apparent on the
first announcement of the treaty. Nobody saw
at once all that was implied in the transfer of the
seat of government to Florence. It was possible
to believe that that measure was an expedient dic-
tated by policy, and advanced the Roman question
one step nearer to a solution. Now, however, it
is understood that it is part of the compact with
the Emperor of the FasNcir, and that King
ti ic-roa EMANUELE renunciation of Rome as
the capital of Italy is formal and final. Before,
the Italian Government was restrained from grati-
fying the wishes of the nation by an external
necessity, obvious to all, compulsory upon all ;
and it is always easy to believe that the current
of events will change in our favour. Now, however,
the government is bound by its own act to an all-
powerful Sove reign to uphold against outward attack
another government which the Italians, as a
people, detest. This is a great trial for all Ita-
lians ; but for the people of Turin it is one of special
severity. They have stood calm and firm by the
Royal House throughout all the crises of the last
seventeen eventful years. The removal of the
government even to Rome would have entailed great
sacrifices upon them, for which however their
public spirit might have seen a compensation in
the triumph of the country. But to lose the seat
of government as a consequence of a transaction of
which the express renunciation of Rome forms a
part, this was too much even for Piedmontese
patience.

It is useless now to ask whether it would not
have been better for the Italian Government to let
the Roman question slumber yet longer than to
revive it in this form. The hope of the country
was not exhausted, and the French might in time
have got tired of protecting the machinery by
which little Israelites are stolen from their mothers.
The bargain, however, is now fixed and irre-
vocable, and the Italians will, therefore, do
wisely to make the beat of it. Prudence
and patience have carried them through greater
difficulties than this. They are not required
to surrender the hope that Rome will one day
become the capital of a united Italy. They must,
indeed, respect the terms of the treaty which the
Government has made in their name, and
by which they will be bound as long as the parties
with whom they made the contract require them
to do so. But it is allowable to suppose, on the
one hand, that all French Governments will not
feel the same interest as NAPOLEON 111. in
maintaining the temporal power ; and, on the other,
that future Pope may be induced by experience to
come to some arrangement with the Italian king-
dom which shall permit the gratification of the
nation's desires. The departure of the French
garrison will leave the POPE'S government to
make proof of its own vitality. View& Ems-
Num, is to guarantee it spinet external
attack, but he cannot make it prudent, vigorous,
and economical, and it will need all times
qualities to maintain itself in the absence
of foreign support. The Italians may justly
complain of their friends, who, in the very act of
terminating a long intervention which ought
never to have been undertaken, impose a heavy
obligation upon them. But it would be wiser of
them not to do so. They had much better reckon
with their actual circumstances, so as to ascertain
bow to derive the utmost possible advantage from

them. Time works in favour of eniii"onee that
has a soul in it, and such a cause is theirs. No
device of diplomacy can in the end prevail
against nature. Let the Italians be united in
hope and mutual confidence, and in that union
they will find a strength that will enable them
with patience to surmount all their difficulties.
