NNOLAND AND ROME.

Thi Opinion Nationak, while racamicing apes
the valuable plainness of Lord Palmerston's decla-
ration that the temporal power must in the nature
of things disappear, sees in it a confirmation of
rumours that England has recently made a diplo-
matic demonstration, reeotumending Prance to
withdraw her army from Rime. It has heard that
$ note on the subject has been received in Paris.
but mentions the news under all reserve.

GARIBALDI AND THE BISHOP OF
CREMONA.

The Bishop of Cremona, Mgr. Novaseoni, and
the whole of his clergy are, it appears, openly
attached to the national cause in Italy, and dur-
ing Garibaldi's stay the bishop was only prevented
by illness from paying him a formal visit. As
soon as the general heard of the prelate's in-
tention, he set out at once to see him, aooom-
ponied by Senator Plezza, Generals Turr and
Bak), and several other aims. The bishop
was in the grand hall of his palace,
surrounded by his clergy, having his vicar-general
and his canons at his side, there being in all nearly
100 ecclesisatios present. Garibaldi's suite num-
bered about 20 persons. Addressing the bishop,
the general said, " Monsignor, I wished to see and
to know you, because you are a priest according to
the gospel idea ; a tree bishop, the father of your
people and of yout derv, who has edified me by his
discourses, Me wise and full of love of country and
evangelical charity." " General," replied the
bishop, "my clergy are good men, and I readily
testify to their virtues. My dery follow the
programme which I traced out the first day of my
entry upon my functions ; that • programme is
truth and charity. Yon see around me my vizor-
general, the canons of my chapter, the curds of the
city and of the country, the pretences of my
college and publio establishments. They know
that I have always recommended them to instruct
the people in their duties, to abstain front all
exaggeration, which is only injurious to truth and
charity. My clergy understand me, follow me,
and lam contented with them." " Monsignor,"
replied Garibaldi, " if all the clergy did their duty
at you teach them and according to your example,
the work which remains to us to accomplish for
the complete redemption of our country would
be much easier." Garibaldi then presented his
offioers to Mgr. Novaseoni, and the bishop and the
soldier separated with a hearty shake of the hand.

The Petrie has an.artiole on the latest phase of
the De Goyon and Lavalette question, which I
think worth atteution ; but it must be borne in
mind that the French cabinet is at sixes and sevens
oathe subject, that the. Emperor remains mys-
teriously impenetrable, and that IL de la Otter
ninnies*, who directs the Patric, seises every oeta-
sign to make the public believe in the triumph of
that anti-Italian policy which is advocated by the
court party, of which he is tho leading exponent.
The Petrie, then, says that all Its anticipations that
M. de Layslette would retain to Rome without
Nasal de Goyon being recalled are confirmed.
U. de Lavalette is " momentarily " in England,
but will return almost immediately to his embassy
at Rome. On the subject of the reported
dimensions between General de Goyon and
U. de Leveled.; the Petrie says, first,
that the rumours are false j but, second, it goes
on to give explanations which very pertinently
prove them to be true. Its possible, it says, that
there may have been "personal difficulties," "or
posing pretensions," " interpretations contrary to
the duties of their mission," but, in spite of all
these things, " both have never ceased to wish to
support the policy of their government." That is
a eery dull truism. Of course no general or am-
bassador of the Emperor protease to oppose the
policy of his employer;; but his leading favourites
now more than at any former period, do differ eon-
;ally as to what that policy really is. M. de la
• re's journal avers that neither the
minister or the general can poesibly have been op.
posed to the policy of " wise compromise "—in
other words, the system of declaring neither
for nor against the temporal power, but never.
theism maintaining the temporal power all
the time—which France maintains in Rome.
The article concludes by a paragraph, which
more vividly, in all probability, than was in-
tended, describes the true Napoleonic idea
:
"Above the Marquis de Lavalette and the General
de Goyon there is an authority which dominates,
inspires, and directs them. And therefore it is
impossible that the sort of differences supposed
can exist between them, for both receive their in-
structions directly from the sovereign, and are
nothing at Rome but the agents of the Emperor."

The courtier who penned the above sentence is
probably too steeped in servility to feel the mean-
ing of it. Si doubtless thinks it very fine and
very loyal to proclaim a doctrine which is Moon.
intent with any settled national policy, and with
the employment in the state servne of men having
any personal value—of men able to relieve the
Emperor from some part of that load of responsi-
bility which his flatterers would unrelentingly fix
upon him alone.
The Japanese ambassadors were received by the
Emperor at the Teileries this afternoon. It is re-
ported that one of the principal objects of their
mission to Europe is to open new porta, sad possi.
bly to throw open all the ports of the Japan's'e
empire for trade. Their government also intends
to allow Europeans to hold land within a certain
distance of the five principal ports of the empire,
and to put the exchanges upon a better footing.
The ambassadors have brought with them several

inapt, extremely well drawn. They are about to
get a new interpreter from nolland who speaks
French, which their present interpreter does but
very imperfectly.
The following are the names of the " Gallium"

who are to be tried on Wednesday next'before the
Tribunal of Municipal Police for the Ootillos row

Cornelissen, Tissot, 'Roulet, Duke de Gramonto
Caderousse, Viscount de Merlemoot, Lasted,
Tastet, Count de Pozzo dl Borgo, d'Estournel„
Boissy-Roger, Marquis de Noailles, Pauplfo, Gaston
de Saint Maurice, and Count Maurice de Rochefort.
The charge is not preferred in a very serious
shape, being merely laid as a tapage nocturne (a
night disturbance), and the defendants will as
worst be sentenced to some light fine. There is a
rumour that M. Berryer is going to advocate their
case, but whether as counsel for the defence in the
above prosecution or in an action against the police
for exceeding their powers, I do not clearly gather.
The Academy of the Fine Arts yesterday elected

TURIN, Ana &

King Victor Emmanuel will set out for Naples
on the 25th of this month, remain about a month
in that city, and return to Turin for the festival of
the Statute. It ha* been semi-officially commu-
nicated to our government from that of France
that the Emperor Napoleon will send precise orders
to his troops in Rome to hinder the departure of
the brigands for the Neapolitan provinces, the re-
sistance of the Pontifical government notwith-
standing. He will give orders that the frontiers be
rigorously watched, and that the brigands who
attempt to paws them shall be captured, pursued,
and even shot. This vigorous co-operation,
simultaneous with the King's presence in
Naples, will, it is believed, facilitate the
task of putting down the reactionary faction and
restoring the principle of authority in the Southern
provinces. Unfortunately the King will not be
accompanied by any of those great names, those
few popular men who still remain to us, and who
increase the goodwill felt for the sovereign they Bur-
retold. Much good, however, is expected from this
journey, provided the King does not spend his time
in hunting, but in military reviews, iu visiting the
public establishments, in giving audiences, and,
above all, if he will let himself frequently be seen
by the people, which he did not do ou the previous
occasion. lie will be put to some trouble no doubt,
but a King ought to be able even to endure being
bored and worried without appearing to feel it.
Yesterday the Neapolitan lawyer, Conforti, took
possession of the Ministry of Grace and Justice ;
and so the Rattassi cabinet is, Pant bien qve mel,
made complete. But Couforti's name is far from
adding strength to the ministry, because his re-
fusal to sign the decree for effecting changes in the
personnel of the Neapolitan magistracy has already
made him be regarded as wanting in firmness and
frankness. Re approved of the measure, took part
till the other day in the preliminary researches and
consultations, but he would not commit himself to
the bodily act of putting his name to the decree,
and he would not formally join the ministry until
two or three days after the decree bad been sanc-
tioned by the King. Now, this kind of craftiness,
so far below the exalted level of Machiavellism,
does not secure much esteem for the new minister,
td however eloquent his words may be they
will not have weight in parliament. Probably
you will find a different opinion expressed on
