LATEST INTELLIGENI

ROME.

The Roman correspondent of La Liberte says :

The party of action have shown their satildaction at the
departure of General Dumont's division from Rome by
throwing some Orsini bombe in the city. Believe me, all
is not over ; we are but at the find act of the drama.
During the last few days cases of guns, diggers, bombe,
and powder have been discovered in several places. The
consequence has been that all strangers in Rome
who have not lived there for more than four
months have been ordered to present themselves
within the next three days (from the 25th to the 28th) at
the prefecture in Monte Citorlo, in order to explain their
presence in the city. This measure, which will be 'rigo-
rously enforced,shows the kind of tranquillity which exists
in the Vatican. How indeed can security exist when the
population on all sides, and, what is more serious, the army
especially, cry out "to Rome T'
The Osserratore Romano of the 22nd criticises
the Queen's speech and the proceedings in the
British parliament as follows:

The discussion of the address has offered the English
chambers, as wu to be foreseen, an opportunity of speak-
ing of Italian affairs. Lord Russell shows his ►version to
the French intervention, expressing a hope that the
government will disapprove the deed. It is deplorable
that a statesman like Lord Russell should be hostile to so
grand a cause as that of the Papacy, which interests the
whole catholic world. All the responsibility of the inter-
vention falls on him who swears to fulfil conventions which
he meditates to infringe afterwards, and not on him who
obliges their observance. Lord Russell knows this better
than anyone else, and if he wu in power to-morrowhe could
not blame France to justify Italy, wham guilty conduct
has roused a universal cry of indignation. Lord Ciadstone
is too well known, and from him nothing surprises Eli After
having co-operated in ruining the legitimate monarchies
in Italy—after having published, to favour the revolution,
lies which have remained celebrated—be could not reason
otherwise. Meanwhile Italy, with her excesses, loses
ground. Lord Houghton believes that the Italians' ardour
for invading the Eternal City has somewhat cooled ; and
moreover, he thinks that an occupation by France would
be preferable to an occupation by the Catholic Purees. In
one way or another, even in the House of Lords, there are
some who recognise that Rome is not for Italy, but for the
Holy Father.

The writer criticises England for talking much
but doing nothing for her proUges, as in the cases
of Denmark and Poland ; he blames her for
encouraging Italy in her iniquities, with the full
intention of turning her back on her at the critical
moment, and winds up as follows :
The teinpoeal dominion of the Pope arida, and will
exist. It has not been overturned by the bitter political
speeches of Lord Palmerston, nor the violent declamations
of Lord Gladstone. nor the anger of Lord Russell, nor will
it be by the refusal which Lord Stanley gave the House of
Commons yesterday to associate himself to the main-
tenance of the temporal power.

THE PROPOSED CONFERENCE ON THE
ROMAN QUESTION.

FLORENCE, Nov. 30.

The Italia refutes the announcement that the
Italian government has given its unreserved adhe-
sion to the proposed conference.
The Opinions says that the adhesion of Italy to
the Conference must not be interpreted in an
absolute manner. Italy, to second the wishes of
France, adheres in principle to the Conference but
reserves to herself the right of pronouncing herself
definitively until France shall have replied to the
reserves and questions which it was in the interest
of Italy to make. The adhesion, also, of the great
Powers must be interpreted with some limitation.
We know that Prussia, Russia, and England con-
tinue to entertain the opinion that they cannot
definitively accept the proposal to participate in
the Conference unless a clearly defined programme
is preliminarily drawn up.
_ _

- .
The Italia confirm; the statements of the
Opinione, and says that the Italian government
adheres in principle to the Conference, but at the
same time makes known the basis upon which the
Conference ought to deliberate. The Pontifical
government has done as much on ita part. It is
stated that as yet no reply has been received by
the Italian government on this subject, conse-
quently it has not been able to form any definite
decision.
The Harions confirms these statements.
