Lest night it was thought expedient to declare
by the ministry of the Pattie that the French go-
vernment had had nothing whatever to do with
the recent negotiations, but had moot aorupulandy
left the Holy Father and the King of Italy to treat
between themselves in the pleatitude of their inde-
pendence. I think this announcement settles the
question which has perplexed people within the
last few days—whether the negotiations are rem-
pugs or only isiterrompties. It is because the cause
is lost that the official press is in such a berry to
wash its hands of it. The truth is that, so far
from France being a stranger to the Vegeal
negotiations, it was the originator of theta,
and the anxious w►tcher of their program
It was the French Ambassador at Rome, M. de
Sartiges, who turned down the work, and when he
heard a few days ago at Naples that the stitching
was not done as be had designed, be started off for
Rome with such precipitation that be failed to pay
the most urgent visits of ceremony before his de-
parture. The article of the Pays, which for three or
four days together affirmed that the Vegeszi nego-
tiations bad been successfully terminated, were
mere summaries of M. de Satire' dilapidate. Aid
now the telegraph news of the day is that BE a.
Sartigee, after having had an audieneeof the Pope,
which lasted an hour, has taken a three months'
leave of absence on account of the state of his
health l After this, I think, he who rams may read.
The Moniker of this evening says, in the past
team, that "it was for an instant hoped that the
courts of Rome and Italy were about to come to
an understanding upon the religious question ;"
and then, after narrating the points upon which
the negotiations were broken eff, it speaks in this
despairing way The French government, while
remaining entirely aloof from the communications
exchanged between the two courts, regarded.
with the most sincere satidaetion the happy-
inspiration which led them to enter upon
direct relations, and it earnestly hopes.
that the work now left incomplete may be
speedily mounted and happily aided."
course the French government hopes so, because the
idea of a reconciliation between Rome and Italy,
for which there exist no elements whatever, is alto-
gether its own. It has ordered the parties to b►
friends and they won't. The ooneention of Sept •
15 was based on the view of the French govern-
ment upon the certainty that it would be able to
effect a reconciliation. The two years are fast run-
ning out, at the end of which the French
troops must, unless France breaks her most solemn
engagement, evacuate Rome. That evacu-1
Mims was the ene thing stipulated by
the convention without regard to consequences.
The time is rapidly approaching when the French
government must either dishonour its signature to
the convention, or avow its inability to mould
events to the satisfaction of the church party. No
wonder, therefore, that M. de Sartiges, having
worked bard to no effect, should now be so unwell
as to want a long holiday.
The rumours (already mentioned) that the legis-
lative session will terminate on July 1, are con-
firmed on all sides.

THE PROPOSED . IiUIOOGNITION OF
ITALY BY SPAIN.
The A Nair Nektons! aye :—AThe approaching
recognition of the kingdom' of Italy annonneed by
Marshal O'Donnell has produced a species of agita-
tion in Madrid. This agitation, entirely favourable
to the proposed measure, was provoked by the de-
termination ascnbed to the Queen of refusing her
royal inaction. A contemor of the palace, the
director of a catholic journal, and some other indi-
vidual', bad proceeded, it is said, to the }lanai°, and
prevailed upon that diplomatist to remonstrate
energetically with the Queen, and even to threaten
her with his departure. The oirounistances we re-
port are doubtless incorrect, and if not, the
ministry has bad the patriotic good seem to pay no
attention to them. The remainied partial's. of
the Inquisition and the adversaries of the liberty
of the pre= bare awed a question (in whit-
moot). The Minister of the Interiorcia his reply
has still more emphasised the liberal:parts of his
programme. The negotiations with Italy are com-
menced. Notes have already been exchanged.
When the arrangement is concluded the papers
will be communicated to the Cortes. The legis-
lation upon the OW wilt be reformed in a more
