ROME, OCT. 20.
Sir Henry Bulwer is on the point of leaving the
Eternal City, and the result of his mission is the
"Nudes to be now gone into. That he should have
achieved no striking advantage in favour of the Bri-
tish government, can surprise uo one acquainted with
the principles dominant is this country, directly op-
posed as they are to those which actuate our own
systems but it mut net be barred that Sir Henry
is much disappointed at his want d positive success,
for he is a man of too iamb Went not to have com-
prehended at a glance the appwristly obsequious but
really intractable nature of ON pngle he has had to
do with.

Important instructions have been recently for-
warded from London, as the Derby ministry she, of
course, axiom to have Cardinal Antonelli's elemeneas
ready for the opening of parliament. There gnaw
two special merengue here, Mr. Webster and Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Townley. The latter arrived on the
evening of the lath, after having performed thejonr-
nay entirely by land in six days and a hsH, his
directions from the foreign office being to nee the'
utmost despatch. In the subsequent interviews be-
tween our minister and the cardinal, it appears that
the former adopted a rather firmer tone of argument
than before. Hints of coercion are the only argu-
ments likely to produce impression here, and a cam-
paign against the Propaganda emissaries in Ireland
would be more effective than a Lundred diplomatic
visits to the Vatican. The presence of the British
fleet in the Adriatic, where it is now expected, will
also have its due weight.
But to proceed to what has been really effected by
the presence of Sir Henry Bulwer. We must allow
the importance of conntpracting by the authority
and the official representations of a British minister,
occasionally resident at Rome, although only accre-
dited to the court. of Central Italy, the misrepre-
sentations and fanatical suggestions of English and
Irish Catholics. Had this plan been in operation a
couple of years, we should never have been troubled
with the Pope's ecclesiastical partition of the
" flourishing kingdom of England," and Cardinal
Wiseman's projects would have been counterpoised
by the direct remonstranees of our minister. The
first step has now been taken towards the establish-
ment of that diplomatic influence which a first-rate
power like England has a right to exercise in every
European wort.
