FRANCE AND ITALY.

PARIS, FRIDAY.
The pamphlet of M. de la Guerrounibre, entitled
"France, Rome, and Italy," has been published.
It contains an expose of the Roman question.
The author says that the spiritual power of the
Papacy is not endangered, but that the temporal
power is now passing through a grave crisis. He
explains the causes of this crisis, which he says are
to be found in the antagonism between the Papacy
and Italy, and the distrust between the Vatican
and the Tuileries. M. de la Gnerronniere con-
tinues thus :—" If the Pope is isolated from Italy,
whose fault is it ? Is the French policy wanting in
devotedness, patience, or foresight ? It is at
length necessary that it should be known where
lies the responsibility." The pamphlet then gives
a history of the relations of the Papacy with Italy
and Franee since 1848, and continues as follows :
"Italy is freed, but not yet constituted. The
obstacle to her organisation is Rome. As
long as the antagonism between Italy and the
temporal Papacy continues, the conditions
of political equilibrium will not be found.
It is as difficult to imagine an Italy without the
Pope as to imagine the Pope without Italy. In
the mean time the Emperor will leave his sword at
Rome, in order to protect the security of the Holy
Father. He cannot sacrifice Italy to the Court of
Rome, neither can he deliver up the Papacy to the
revolution. Impassible, he will patiently await
the hour when the pontifical government, at last
disabused in regard to the dangerous allies who
have imposed their support upon it, shall be able to
distinguish between those who have done every-
thicg to bring about its ruin and those who have
done everything for its preservation."
