PARIS, TOILSDAT EVIENING.

The report of the dissolution "by authority" of
the Emancipation Society of Genoa is confirmed.
A measure this of very doubtful policy. As an act
of severe repression it will offend the national
sentiment, while the " society" will virtually con-
tinue to exist, and things now done openly will
continue to be done iu secret. When will govern-
ments become convinced that publicity is a safety-
valve, and should be encouraged in the best inte-
rests of the state ? It is, however, by no means
improbable that the suppression of the society in
question is a temporary concession to the exac-
tions of a too powerful ally. The France claims
the fact as one proof of the readiness of the
Italian government to listen to the advice ten-
dered it from Paris. After admitting the
truth of the statement of the Patric, that
M. Thouvenel had instructed the Count de Mas-
signs° to compliment the cabinet of Turin upon its
firm conduct under present difficulties, it says—
" But the Patric ought to have added that M.
Thouvenel, in sending those felicitations, gave at
the same time counsels full of firmness, and de-
clared that unless the government of Victor Emma-
nuel were resolved at length to take decisive and
rigorous measures against the agitation by which
which for a long time past attempts had been made
to carry it away (I'entrairser), it exposed itself to
grave consequences, against which the solicitude of
France and of Europe ought to warn it."
The situation in Italy grows more and more
"difficult." Garibaldi is advancing towards Mes-
sina. We learn that the liberator himself had
gone from Aidoue towards Leonforte, and his son
Menotti had marched towards Asaro. General Riootti
had quitted Caltanisetta, while Generals Cugia and
La Mena had occupied the roads leading to Messina.
We hear no more of the summons to surrender
within twenty-four hours talked of yesterday.
General La Marmoia has dissolved the Garde Mo-
bile, consisting of 16,000 men, which had
manifested Garibaldian tendencies. Is it not
possible that some of these 16,000 men may
find means to swell the ranks of Garibaldi's forces I
General La Marmora might have done bet-
ter to have kept them under his own eye.
I am told that Cardinal Autonelli has written to
the Nuncio in Paris stating that a report had
reached him of the Emperor's intention to propose
a joint occupation of Rome by French and Italian
troops, and bedesired that Monsigneur Chigi should
inform M. Thouvenel that in the event of such a
proposal being made, the Pope will at once quit
Rome, followed by all the cardinals. I have this
on tolerably good authority, but as I do not myself
believe in the Emperor's intention to propose a
joint occupation, I look upon the Pope's announce-
ment as a mere empty threat.
The Parris denies that the new organisation of the

army of occupation alluded to by some journals is
meditated by the French government. With re-
gard to the reinforcements now being seia to Rome,
it states that they are simply intended to fill up
vacancies caused by absence of the men on leave ;
and that the troops so sent are drawn from the
home depots of the regiments in Rome. The
Prase, commenting upon an excellent article which
the 'Mats has upon the subject of the declaration
by the France that honour now requires the inde-
finite continuation of the French occupation of
Rome, says :

ID good conscience and good logic, we cannot see what
the Anna can answer to this language of good policy
and good sense. That journal talks of the honour
of France. The honour of France is to defend everywhere
the cause of civilisation and liberty, and Dot to imposts
upon a great people the most absolute and most detestable
of government'. The honour of France is not to endure
that her protection be abused and her counsels "carped.
The honour of France is to be in harmony with herself, and
not to contradict at Rome what she has done at Milan ;
not to oppose the cannon of Rome to the cannon of Magenta,
the sword of General Goyon to the sword of Marshal NieL
In 1859 our army crossed the Alps to defend Italian
nationality, and Italian nationality ends not at Temicina.
The honour of France is not to forget this.
France has made several revolutions to overthrow
governments • hundred times lees intolerable than this
government of priests. In good conscience and good logic
she cannot impose indefinitely upon the Romans a system
she would not herself tolerate for twenty-four hours.
