nary sanctions of legitimacy, of the arrogation of the
Roman Catholic Church, and of the activity of
the Jesuits. But, beyond all these, there are
arch-pretenders, claiming, by seniority of expul-
sion, to head our proposed emaciation, namely,
the two branches of the French line of BOURBON.
There is the Count of CR 1111 BORD, the conceded
and acknowledged chief of the whole body, and
there are also the princes of the Orleans branch.
Here is certainly a glorious throng, in the eyes at
any rate of those who are prepared to live in
traditicos and disdain facts. Perhaps, indeed,
these illustrious private gentlemen see more to

console themselves than ;erves to strike ourselves
at first sight. We have no doubt that they are
sanguine of reaction, but for the present they
must be conscious that they have all transgressed
those limits beyond which popular conciliation is
impossible.

This array of royal malcontents must lead every
honest man to be thankful for the human emanci-
pation which their present condition serves to illus-
trate, and to appreciate the justioe of the retribu-
tion which, in the last eighteen months, has over-
taken so many of them. The Emperor of A vrraia
appears to stand alone in the possession of the
very simple penetration required for discerning the
signs of the times, when those signs are staring
every prince and potentate in the face. He has
at last indicated his readiness to enter upon a path
of reform, very ill-defined, indeed, at present in
extent, and very liable to be heartily renounced on
the first interruption in the progress of liberal
ideas and liberal arms. Bat as things now stand,
he has taken alarm at the catastrophe of those
regal and ducal personages who so lately and
securely basked, to the South of the Alps, in the
sunshine of his then all-powerful protection.
Fusels JOBIPH has no intention of retiring to
Homburg, to drown his reminiscences of lost empire
over cigars and rouge et noir. He would rather
have half a loaf than no bread, and be a de facto
semi-constitutional king than an exiled autocrat,

condemned to read at acme fashionable baths, and
from the journals disseminated by a free press, of
the proceedings of the Republic of Hungary, of the
Republic of Transylvania, of the Comitia of the
Gallicians, and of Venetia once more reintegrated
with Italy. If the Emperor FRANCIS Joserii
were intellectually capable of being taught by
experience and disaster, he would persevere in his
professed resolution to grant some privileges to
his subjects, both in religion and in civil govern-
ment, instead of running to his recent enemy the
CZAR for support. If he do not, if he halt in
his course, he also will go, and will join the fur
ternity of royal exiles. An Emperor of AUSTRIA
among the number would greatly augment the his-
torical importance of the aggregate body. But
let them consist of whom they may, they serve, in
the second hall of the nineteenth age, u a highly
satisfactory indication of the immense growth of
the power of truth and justice which has lately
sprung up amid a world of military government.
Never has that power more decisively triumphed ;
and that, too, in an age without a parallel for
the union of military force with political craft.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH INTERVENTION.

pabliabeean amide, signed

B. Dreolle, announcing the dispatch of another
division to Rome, and adds :—"'This measure is
taken in consequence of the late events accom-
ished in Italy and the revolutionary character of
' ''s last acts. In 1880, as in 1849, France
will protect Rome and the papacy against the
attacks of demagogues."
M. Dreolle thinks that the presence of a French
corps d'armee at Rome will suffice to prevent
any assault against or revolutionary movement
within that city. But in the contrary case the
French battalions will form an invincible barrier
for the protection of the eternal city, and the au-
thority of the Chief of the Church. In augmenting
the army of occupation the French government
renders the protection of the city of Rome more
efficacious but respects the principle of non-inter-
vention. M. Dreolle also expresses a hope that the
attitude of France will strengthen the salutary
reaction in Italy against the consequences and
dangers of the spirit of disorder.
