the last importance to Europe that he should L.:: t
have fated causes in which he believec. If the Em-
peror's restraining hand were taken away, the
Prince would almost certainly have a commanding
influenee ever the ordering of affairs in France,
and would let loose clernense of strife which are
now hushed in repose. His words Safe therefore,
a significance the exact extent of which it is almoat
impossible to estimate, and naturally the utterances
of a man who has this exceptional standing are
often taken for much more than they mean. When,
for example, he says that he quite agrees with a
revolutionary committee that the case of -Venice is
urgent, and that the time has now arrived when
Italy should be set free from the Alps to the
Adriatic), nd case hen exactly say whether this is all
nonsense, or whether he is shadoWing ferth a move-
ment to which his Imperial position may help him
to give life and reanii. And if his position is
curious in Fran,,e, so also is it in Italy. The
Italian Ministry has ;last in ado a declaration of the
impression produced on it by the rdception of
Garibaldi in England. No Ministry could have
taken a more sensible course. So far as the recep-
tion of Garibaldi Waa a eomplinseut to Italy, and a
testimony to the personal merits of a great
Italian, the Ministry is rejoiced at it. Italy
wishes to stiek closely to both the great
IVestern Powers, end as England is the
harder of the two to persuade to practical action in
her favour, she cannot slight altogether at.T.Th a means
of influencing England as Garibaldi has discosered.
But, as to Garibaldi himself and the party of action,
the Ministry permits itself to hope that the hero of
Caprera has taken one lesson to heart since he went
there. In England he sase the spectacle of trium-
phant law and order, and a people contented, happy,
and prosperous, because it left the conduct of affairs
to the Government it had chosen. If Garibaldi has
learnt the advantages of this, his excursion will
have done him and his country some good, It will
inspire him with a wish to Bee Italy acting in the
same way, and to allow the King and his responsi-
ble advisers to decide what is to be done, and when,
and how. The Ministry entirely declined to own
itself at the beck and call of the party of action, as
it is called, and hoped that Garibaldi would see only
the necessity of this, for the King's advisers to have
only a half-power when they had all the responsi-
bility, and they called on the Chamber to choose
between them and the party of action if they wished
Garibaldi to be supreme. And yet, at this very
instant, Prince Napoleon thinks it opportune to
come forward and announce that the liberation of
Venice cannot be delayed much longer. The King's
Ministers tell the country to wait patiently, and
the King's son-in-law tells them that waiting is
now nearly over, and that the great call to arms
will soon be heard. Probably the Prince spoke as
he pleased and as he thought, without much caring
what would be the consequences to the Italian
Ministry. And yet, although he seems to be run-
ning directly contrary to the responsible counsellors
of his father•in-law, and to be urging in the very
direction from pursuing which they are most
anxious to save her, they will probable feel little
objection to what he has said, and may even see

that an advantage is to be derived from the very
strength of the language he has used. For, in the
first place, his words tend to keep alive the impres•
sion in,ltaly that the Royal Family, with the King
at its head, longs to fall with the current
of the!popular wish, and is only withheld by over-
powering reasons of State policy from gratifying its
desires. The hopes of Italy are thus associated with
its monarch ; and, in a country where everything is
so new and so uncertain, and where all that is most
energetic has been so long associated with the
thought of revolution, it may have a powerful effect
towards consolidating the existing order of things
that the nation should look on the royal family as
among the chief of its own partisans. Then, again,
Prince Napoleon reminds the excited politicians of
the Italian towns that all talk about freaing Italy
from the Alps to the Adriatic is mere moonshine
unless France is associated with the movement. But
he represents France not as the calculating ally help-
ing Italy from selfish motives, bat as the exponent
in Europe of those ideas which demand the expul
sion of the Austrians from Venice as the first step
towards building up a new and better framework
of European society. lie desires to warn Italy that
France must be by her side if she is to win in her
great contest, but he presents France in the colours
which most attract Italians.

The opening of Aldershott Camp Industrial Exhibition
is fixed for the 29th of June, and it will remain open until
the afternoon of the 14th of July. The Ist of June is the
last day for receiving applications for space, the demand for
which has already absorbed every square foot at the disposal
of the committee. A meeting is to be held to-morrow to
take into consideration the best means of informing the
public of the exhibition and to determine the prices of ad-

mission.

cently issued to the troops were inspected, together with the

brigade field days which take place at Chatham, the custo-
mary review on Chatham lines was dispensed with. The
inspection was brought to a close by Major General Eyre
going over the several barracks and quarters occupied by
the troops and inspecting the various offices, 1:c.

On the occasion of the late visit of Marshal
Forey to Douai, the mayor of that place published a pro-
clamation in which he called on the inhabitants to display
the national flag. The Courrier Donaisier, in copying the
document, substituted the word chiffon (rag) for that of
drapeau (flag), which circumstance caused great emotion in
the town. Judicial proceedings are, it is said, to be taken
against the editor, the corrector, and the compositor of the
journal,
