FRANCE.

PARIS, Armen 21.

The Moniteur of to-day says :—" The Emperor
has written a letter to M. Chain d'Est-Ange, as-
suring him that the sentiments his Majesty enter-
tains towards him aro unchanged, and that he will
won be called,to the Senate."
The Constitutionnei of to-day publishes the
following statement, signed by its secretary, M.
Bonifaee :—" We are authorised to give a denial
to the telegram from Rome relative to a declaration
alleged to have been made by the Marquis de Lava-
lette to the Pope. It is understood that as long as
our troops are at Rome the Holy Father will have
nothing to fear from an invasion. It was, there-
fore, not necessary to inform his Holiness of the
fact of the two declarations contained in the tele-
gram ; one is, therefore, superfluous, and the other
is contrary to the policy which the Marquis de La-
valette represents at Rome."

ITALY.
LETTER OF MAZZINI.

The Nord publishes the following letter from
Marsini to the Emancipation Society of Rieei, a
province of Catanisetta, with the observation that,
in the skilful moderation of its language, it strangely
resembles the programme of Garibaldi :

Brothers,—l havereeeived with gratitude the nomination
with which you have just honoured me. I write toyou these
few lines while your island resounds with noble voices an-
nouncing generous projects. You have never broken your pro-
mise, and you will not break it now that it is a question
of life or death—to be or not to be. You have said, "Rome
or death ;" and when • people like yours accepts this
motto from • man bearing the name of Garibaldi it re.
valves either to translate it into action, or Was to stand
dishonoured in its own eyes, and in those of Europe.
But you cannot dishonour yourselves. Act then, act against
every obstacle. In Rome is the unity of the country ;at
Rome is the legislation which is to cure our wounds ; at
Rome is your recognition, not by the despots who exist
now but who to-morrow will fall, but by the people who
live eternally; at Rome, tr.oreover, is the Italian aspiration,
restrained until now by a miserable association dependent in
its counsels en the foreigner. The government which, not
acting itself, says to you, "Do not act," and displays
against the aroused Italian people an energy which
it ought to exert against the enemies of the nation
and of unity, merits not respect. The Italian govern-
' ment is in you. It is where honour, duty, and the minim of
Italy are comprehended. If, I will not say hi France or
is England, but in little Switzerland, the foreigner
occupied the town, everybody would hasten to drive him
away. Shall Italy, beinferior !—ltaly, which has twenty.
two millions of free men—ltaly, which has risen up again,
and which wants to present herself to her sister nations
with • baptism of glory—ltaly, which is pledged lystare
them by • solemn and unanimous cry ? Adieu, my
brothers. JOSEPH MAZZEIL

partment, shall provisionally assume the political govern-
