FRANCE.

Several of the Paris journals remark on the short
note sent by the Chevalier Nigra to the France,
and denying in the most positive manner the truth
of that journal's assertion that he, as representative
of the Italian Government, had expressed to M.
Drouyn de Lhuys regret on the part of the Cabinet
of Turin at General Durando's having addressed to
France his circular rel, five to Rome as the capital
of Italy. In general the language of the several
journals is not by any means complimentary to the
France which, it may be observed, is not by any
means popular with its contemporaries. The
Temps expresses itself in these terms :
" Our readers may remember that before any con-
tradiction came from the Chevalier Nigra, we had
declared that the statement of the Trance was
simply impossible. Plain common sense sufficed for
that. It might have happened that the French
Government had called for the disavowal of Gene-
ral Durando's note, and it n ay yet do so, but that
disavowal, if demanded and obtained could not but
lead to the retirement from office of the whole Cabi-
net. The France endeavours to conceal its discom-
fiture by drawing a distinction between the meaning
and the form, and by insinuating that its only error
was in the latter. The denial, however, of M. Nigra
ruins its assertions not only as to fora: bat as to
meaning, and allows nothing to ►emain. As far as
the action which the change just accomplished in
France may have on Italian affairs, that is quite
another question. It is, unfortunately, too certain
that the retirement of M. Thouvenel and the acces-
sion of M. Droun de Lhuys, appear likely to create
serious embarrasments for the Italian policy,
pledged as it is by the reiterated votes of the Par-
liament and by General Durando's circular. So
long, however, as M. Ratazzi remains in power, it
is evident that he has not lost all hope, or, if the
expression be preferred, all illusion. Although we
have very often opposed him, we augur well enough
of his sentiments and his dignity to believe that he
will retire on the day when the check to his policy,
such as it is defined in General Durando's circular
shall be clearly shown to him, and when Rome
shall cease to be the great object of Italian diplo-
macy. But on that day the King of Italy will,
perhaps, have some trouble in finding men to volun-
teer to form a new Cabinet."

The following is from the Pays :
" This letter is an apple of discord thrown by
the Italian Minister into the clerical camp, where
the most perfect harmony has hitherto prevailed,
The Monde consented to regard the new journal
quite as a brother. A controversy as to a ques-
tion of the flag to be adopted, still separated
it from the Union, but they nevertheless managed
to agree tolerably well. As for the Gazette
it was profuse in its praises. Any fact advanced
by the France became for it an article of faith, and
oa the subject of this unlucky paragraph, now con-
tradicted by M. Nigra, it stated This event, for
it is an event, and one on which there cannot be the
least doubt, as the France would certainly never
have ventured lightly to advance so important a
fact, which would for ever ruin its credit if found
to be untrue—this event, we say, confirms what we
have never ceased to assert on all occasions.' A
complete change has now taken place. The France,
uneasy under this new contradiction, maintains that
M. Nigra is very imprudent to complain because a
doe of conduct has been attributed to him which
Count de St. Poncy himself (the director of the
France) would not have disdained to adopt. M.
Nigra is really too hard to please. And so is the
Gazette, which only yesterday stigmatised the pre-
tended explanations of the Italian Minister as
humiliating and almost cowardly ! The political
editor of the Gazette is now placed under the neces-
sity of tacitly praising the conduct of M. Nigra
throughout this affair. NV e have always said that
the great misfortune of the clerical party is the
want of concert. If the Gazette and the _France
had but understood each other, this affair might
have afforded them an opportunity for making a
little noise ; they have missed the chance, and
Heaven knows whether they will ever find another
like it."
