THE ROMAN QUESTION.

The Indeprawice Beige, of yesterday, says :
" Letters from Turin inform us that the Roman
question approaches a solution. An autograph
letter of the Emperor, in which it is fully treated,
has produced a very good impression in high
circles at Turin. King Victor Erumauuel's reply
was sent off on the 27th. The conditions of the
arrangement between the two courts are not
known to us ; but we have reason to believe that
they include on the part of Piedmont neither the
recognition of the Holy See over the patrimony of
St. Peter nor any cession of territory."
