DEMONSTRATION AT ROME:
Letter from Rome of the 30th of November re-
port that an exciting demonstration has taken place
at the theatre. Tricolour emblems were exhibited
in the midst of vivas raised in honour of Victor
Emmanuel. The Roman gendarmerie made some
arrests and cleared the theatre, and French gendarmes
prevented the demonstration from being renewed
in the streets.

THE ITALIAN PARLLLMENT.
TURIN, Del 4,lvrarso.

The discussion on the Roman and—Neapolitan
question was resumed to-day in the Chamber of
Deputies. Signor Batumi said :—" would be
unjust to wish to make the government responsible
I for the failure of the negotiations relative to Rome,
and for the disturbances in the Neapolitan pro-
vinces. Another ministry would be in the same
situation. I will not discuss the documents which
have been communicated to the chamber by the
government, as it is useless to consider whether the
concessions offered to the church were dangerous to
the state, because they have been without any
result. Rome is naturally, and will soon really be,
the capital of Italy. I am convinced that the
French government desires that the occupation of
Rome may cease. It is the interest of France to
have a strong Italy as au ally. The French
government is our sincere friend. It recognised us
after we had proclaimed Some as the capital
of Italy. Our adversaries are their adversaries."
Signor Ratami then alluded to his visit to Paris,
which be, said, was of a purely personal &emote:.
He denied the malevolent :amours which had
been Circulated with regard to his intentions. He
condemned the proposition of Signor Ricciardi,.
and said hebelieved that France would aid th.
Italians against the brigandage in Naples. He
concluded by urging the union of all the Constitu-
tional factions.

Signor Ratassi's speech was received with unani-
mous applause.

The event al the day is General Scott's letter to
the Consiiintiontbel, which, as you will see, pro-
duced a favourable effect upon the Bourse. Some of
the French journals, however—more especially those
which lay the greatest claim to " inspiration " from
their government—betray extraordinary anxiety
lest the cases belli between England and the United
States should not ripen into actual hostilities. No
Irish attorney was ever more shocked at the idea of
a "compromise breaking out between the parties"
then the Petrie wan to be at the prospect of a
satidaetory answer to England's demands being
given by the United States. It devotee no leas
than four articles in its number of this evening to
making the worst of thin" and espetially to the
object of arguing away the coamliatery ten-
derides of General Scott% letter. It remark',
in the first place, that General Scott dues not sag
positively that the Washington government gave
no orders to the commanders of the American
mums, but only that he knew of no such orders
at the moment of his leaving. Then the Patric
ismeima bow it is that the mews of the arrest

In Paris twenty-four hews before the Trent sr-
deed on the European shores, and draws the in,
Minas that the intelligent,* must have been

Genteel Scott. It spouts as absurd the suppoeition
that any cakes in the United States navy would
have been so devoid of common sense as to have
lid= such a step, as Captain Wilkes did, on his
own responsibility. Captain Wilkes, it observes, is
considered to be one of the three or four best officers
in the Federal service. He owed his promotion
originally to the patronage of Southern "%stamen,
and was, so the Patric will have it, especiallyselected
by Mr. Lincoln for this particular service in order
to make the blow more severely Mt by the South.
mother consideration suggested is that Captain
Wilkes, who inhabits the sumptuous mansion well
known at Washington, called Wilkes House, near
the residenee of Gene:Fel AI Inellan, is a man of
too large fortune and consideration to have risked
his commission and hopes of advaneenitst, by pro-
voking a war with England without mitts. Follow-
ing up, as the French phrase is, " the same order el
ideas," the P.M. outman from the London corres-
pondence of the Moniker, and prints in italics, this
passage —" But this hope" (the hope that Mr.
Lincoln's prudence will not yield to the popular
clamours which bailed the news of I Slidell
and Mason's capture) "is not shared by Mr. Adams,
the United States Minister in London, who, it
would seem, regards his repel' as inevitable."
The Opinion NdiSoriale--which, like the Patric
gloats over the idea of a war between England and
the United States, and rejoioes with the Side* in
the brihiant idea that such a war cannot but,
eventuate in the overthrow of the English aris-
tocracy, and the re-organisation of British society
under the direction of Mr. Bright—eays, by way of

GENERAL SCOTT ON THE CAPTURE OF

responding degree.
" I am persuaded that the British government can en-

that I may take it upon myself to may that the Prandial

Another reason for the secession alleged on this side was the

MR. COBDEN, M.P., ON THE AMERICAN

D.LFFICI7LTY.

The following letter from Mr. Cobden, M. P.,
wee reed yederday at the 'fleeting at Reehdele :

" didharst, Dee. 2, 1861.
" Dear need not same you with whet phew, I
should accept your invitation to be present at the eater-
Warned which is to be offered by his neighbours to my
friend, Mr. Bright. It tempts me sorely, and yet I will
ash break the role by which I have probibibited myself
from attending say public tins wider, with the
view el husbanding my health for laboured the main
sweeise.

" I hare nee with some surprise the assomptionle

rities have given their opinion on the point at issue, the
question ill settled, and that we have only to proceed to

which was rejected by our government, acting in

no official dominions have been given to the

our foreign minister in the House dCommons, on the UM

that had this offer of the United States go

stead of being appalled, been pees*, aod frankly accepted
by Basked, our nomeres with the southern pate of that

and would badly have felt

nines front the civil war in America. I was
sheen from parliament when these peat questions
were incidentally referred to, for all serious din
amnion on the subject seems to have been discouraged by
the government ; but I think I shall be able to show, on a
future occasion, that no other country is interested to half
the extent of England is carrying out these peoprtlions of
the United States government. I venial go • step further, and

let it not be forint* by the Benin public, is the present
moment of irritation, that England has always been, and
still is, the great obstacle to a liberal and humane modifin-
Sou of the maritime law of nations in the interest of nea-
trate, and that her amen alone is wanting to sweep the
musty maxims of Puffeedorff and the rest ion that °Mi-
nos which has happily engulfed the kindred absurdities
of mention. •
" I will not atkimpt within the spies of a letter to touch
open the other imam involved in this deplorable civil oar.
There is one point only on which I will add • remark. An
opinion seems to be entertained by some parties here and on
the continent, that it in the of the government of
England and France to if not put as end to, the
coodiek I entertain the strongest conviction, on the con-
trary, that any set of intonsenissoshioutrizZof • Europen
paw, whother by lathe* the or • pronsture
acknowledgment of Wspinninsee of South, or le
any other way, cos have no other effect but to aggravate
and protean the quarrel. History tells us bow greatly the
bonne of the Fesoch nvolutioo sprung from the inter, amine
of the foreigner. Were • similar element thrown in to iota-
rate the America contest, every restraining motive for
forbeinnes, every thought of compromise or coocinatioa
would be cast to the winds —the North would avail itself of
the horrible weapon always ready at hand, and by call*
in the aid of the negro would carry the fire and sword of e
servile war into the South, and make it a desolation and a
wilderness.. So far from expecting that the raw material
oar great industry would reach on noon in consequence of
slick an intanentios, I Wien the more probable mauls
would be the destruction of the eottoo pliant itself tbruir4
out the Southern. Steles of the Union.
