A spends of M. Troplon g's, pronounoed at an
agricultural meeting at Cormeillee (Eure), in which
he made • glowing panegyric of the principle of
centralisation, " which, like the action of the heart,
imparts life from the centre to the extrentitiaa" has
been represented as an official answer to a recent
discourse of M. de Morny, from which it was in-
ferred at the time that measures of decentralisation

were brewing. It is of counts possible that M.
Troplong, who had a great hand in drawing up the
constitution by which Franoe is now governed, may
have received some imperial hints on the question at
lone. But, generally speak*, it would be emi_
newly unsafe to predicate • oscine of policy founded
upon what any courtier may say. The most
favoured of them are seldom permitted to know
what is going is be dose, and aooordingly they are
for the most part wise enough to restrain
their eloquent's within the bounds of entha-
sisatio laudation of " whatever is," and to eschew
the o:praline of any prophetic opinions. Now and
then, however, men like De Morny, Troploag, and
De Penigay, who think the empire owes them
something, assume to themselves a liberty not
allowed to other citizens, and say something in
public of their own heads. On snob occasions they
me not rebuked at once. They are, in fact, as they
know, men too considerable to be treated with open
contumely ; but the members of a cabinet which has
no homogeneity, which consists (as it was expressly
said is the days of the coup d'itat) of " clerks," are
naturally jealous of any assertion of individual im-
portance, and in the very nature of things are moved
to countermine any doctrines thus ventilated
in public by • stolen march upon the ordi-
nary principles upon which the present
government is conducted. Constrained as
they are habitually to act only in their respective
departments, and in pursuance of indisputable orders,
they can only enjoy the esprit de corps, and the
pursuit of a common object, by using the little in-
fluence they possess against any man who pretends
to be pester than themselves. The public, there-
fore, is always liable to be misled if it attaches
importance to the provincial speeches of the few
great men attached to the present dynasty. None
of them know what their master may mean to do
to-morrow. For instance, M. Rosner, the Minister
of Commerce, had no notioa till he was ordered
to countersign the decree that the slid-
ing scale wee to be suspended for another.
year. On the contrary, he had flattered'
himself that protection had gained the day, and bad
made every preparation for collecting the duties
which, as you are already aware, were actually re-
ceived during twelve hours. M. Troplong, how-
ever, is a man of great talent if not of remarkable
independence of character, and the genuine conclu-1
aions of his own mind upon any subject whatever
are worthy of respectful consideration. In the same
speech he controverts the insertions of the Univers
and the legitimist journals that the subdivision of
property consequent upon the abolition of the law
of primogeniture, and of other provisions of the
Code Napoleon, securing to every child a portion of
the parent's inheritance, is a social evil. Instead of
the present law tending perpetually to cut up
property into subdivisions as infinite as grains
of sand, he asserts that there is in it •
principle of reaction, working by economy and mar-
riage, which has bees already proved by experience
to have the effect of keeping together parcels of laud
in a sufficient degree of agglomeration. To the
argument that France, in consequence of the emigra-
tion of the peasantry from the country to the towns,
is fast fulfilling the fate of the Lower umpire, he
sarcastically observes that there is no justice in the
comparison except in this respect, that there were
sophists in Byzantium. M. Troplong admits that
the rural population has not lately increased, and
that many peasants have in fact quitted the country
in the feverish hope of finding better wages
for leas work in the cities. But he argues that only
the physically weak and the morally depraved have
given way to this seductioa, and that the existing rural
population is all the better for their absence. How
far this view may be correct I cannot say. I should
doubt, however, whether the emigration from the
country can have been so discriminating. But hav-
ing lately seen a great deal of Normandy I can con-
firm what M. Troplong says of the actual state of
the rural districts in that province. In the
coarse of a walk of a hundred miles from
the Cherbourg branch of the Western rail-
way to that of Rennes, I was particularly
struck with the excellence of the roads, and the
well fed and contented appearance of the peasantry.
I saw nothing like misery even in the most remote
villages. The general cleanliness and good condi-
tion of their clothing was remarkable, and I saw
with reel pleasure that on a Sunday a haunch of
=anon or • ponderous joint of beef was roasted at
almost every village ion, to which the working men
sat down by subscription.

ROME, Ocr. 2.
General Count de Goyon arrived in Rome on
Thareday evening, and held a grand reception at
the Rnspoli palace on the following morning,
attended by the officers of both armies in grand
uniform, and enlivened by the strains of the 40th
regimental band in the courtyard. The General
returns with the prestige of an addition to the mili-
tary force under his command, in the shape of the
20th Battalion of Chalmers ; .hat he has not deemed
it requisite to await their arrival at Civita Vecchia
before coming on to pay his respects once more to the
Supreme Pontiff and the Cardinal Secretary of
State. This increase to tie French garrison has
been already interpreted in various modes. The
General, it is stated, found the troops under his
canunand reduced almost to a brigade, a force
whose onamand was incompatible with the dignity
of an officer of his standing. The safety of the
FNMA troops is stated by others to have been com-
promised of late by their quarrels with the soldiers
of his Holiness, and to have, therefore, absolutely
required reinforcements to render the French nu-
merically superior to the indigenous garrison. A
third account brings forward the political jealousies
of France and Austria to explain the strengthening
of the French division in Rome at the precise period
when it was expected that the oft-repeated rumours
of the joint withdrawal of the two armies of occu-
pation from the States of the Church wan about to
be realised. And a fourth solution of the enigma is
given by the declaration that the Chaseeurs are re-
quired at Rome merely to relieve one of the batta-
lions of the line, which is about to march to Civita
Vecchia to be employed in the enlargement of the
fortifications of that town, which are now being
executed at the expense of the Papal government,
but under the direction of French military en-
gineers.
Whichever of these motives may be the real one,
or perhaps all of them combined, it appears certain
that the inorease of the French garrison has not
been a measure productive of satisfaction to the
Roman government, and it is moreover affirmed
that General de on would have succeeded in ob-
taining from the Emperor the additional eclat of a
few squadrons of lancers in order that the division
might not be entirely without cavalry, and the per-
son of the Commander-in-Chief dependent upon his
few French gendarmes for a bone escort, if the go-
vernment of his Holiness had not especially re-
quested to be spared the expense contingent upon
the unrequited presence of a regiment of French
cavalry.
Meanwhile no more military brawls have occurred
to confirm the statement of the French garrison
being in danger from the combined assault of the
Roman soldiery and populace. As a preventive
unease-e, on Wednesday, being the festival of St.
Michael the Arehanpl, the French troops were in-
spected on the Pinson Hill in the morning, and in
the afternoon the Papal general, Gregorio, re-
viewed on the same spot the Swiss and Roman
infantry and dragoons, so that, the whole of the
garrison being ender arms, there war lees danger of
a collision than when the soldiers are off duty and
carousing in the wine-shops and cafés, as is their
usual custom in the Eternal City on Sundays and
festivals.

The unfortunate Roman dragoon who had hi.,
head split open by the four French soldiers of the
40th Regiment, on the 12th ult., before the cafe
of St. Andrea della Valle, is dead; and the
Frenchman accused of having given the fatal
blow is in the Castle of St. Angelo, still
awaiting his trial. Nine Roman dragoons, who
exercised reprisals the same evening upon all
the French soldiers who MUM across their
path, are also under trial ; but one of them, either
from over excitement, mental aberration, or horror
at the idea of spending the rest of his life in the
galleys, cat his throat shortly attar his arrest, and is
now in the hospital in imminent danger.
A supplementary line of steamers having been re-
cently put on this part of the Mediterranean by the
French Messageries lmperiales, the double cradle
has oommenoed ander an ill omen by the collision of
the Hermes, coming from Leghorn to Civita Vecchia.
and the Aventine, proceeding in a contrary direction,
in the strait of Piombino, on the night of the 29th
ult. The Aventine was so much damaged as to Oak
soon after, but the passengers were saved on board
the Hermes, which was able to return to Leghorn.
