FRANCE.

The Emperor went yesterday to the village of
Berry-au-Bac, about 30 leagues from Compiegne, to
visit the site of a camp of Caesar. Excavations, exe-
cuted according to indications of his Majesty, have
laid open a ditch of 4,000 metres in extent, which
defended the front and approaches of the camp, as
well as the four entrances which led into it. The
Emperor was accompanied by Baron de Saulcy,
Member of the Institute ; Colonel Castelnau, one of
his aides-de-camp, and Commandant Stoffel, orderly
officer. A letter from Compiegne says :—" Two
days ago, while the Emperor was presiding at a
Council of Ministers, the third stag hunt took place
in the forest. The Empress, in a morning dress,
end accompanied by several of the guests, was pre-
sent at the meet in a char-a •bane. The stag was
started in the neighbourhood of the Bouquet-Gras,
and was killed in a very short time near La Bre-
viere. The cures took place as usual in the evening.
His Majesty, accompanied by M. de Castellane, one
of his orderly officers, lately took a walk in the
town, and entered the shop of M. Lemer, a jeweller,
and stopped for half an hour inspecting the nume-
rous objects of art and antiquity which it contained.
Among other purchases made by the Emperor were
two magnificent pieces of furniture of the time of
Louis XIII., a picture of Smokers by Teniers, &c."

ROME, FRANCE, AND ITALY.

The Paris correspondent of the Morning Pos

writes :

"PARIS, THURSDAY, 6 P.M.

"I believe I am correct in saying that no further
communications are taking place between the Go-
vernments of Rome, Italy, and France on the occu-
pation of the States of the Church by the troops of
Napoleon 111. The return of M. Drouyn de Lhuys
to the Foreign-office has at least removed all illu-
sions on the subject ; for such do foreign diploma-
tists and the press of Paris and people generally
take to be the meaning of the French Govern-
ment refusing to entertain the despatch of General
Durando on the necessity of leaving the Papacy to
the guardianship of the Italian people. It may be
to-day, but certainly very soon, that the advisors of
Victor Emmanuel will tell their story to the Italian
Parliament, and at the same time call upon the
deputies to exerciss that calm and moderation
which is more than ever necessary under existing
circumstances. Italy may be obliged at no very
distant day to defend the dominions already under
the constitutional rule of King Victor Emmanuel.
But before that event occurs more changes must
take place in the French Cabinet. The Emperor
has got rid of MM. Thouvenel, Benedetti, and
Lavalette, and that honourable and venerable gen-
tleman the ex-Ambassador at London, whose posi-
tion lately became impossible, although " no change
has taken place in the Emperor's policy towards
Rome." But I believe that all the members of the
Imperial Cabinet have not agreed to hold office
if a retrograde policy at home and abroad is the
order of the day. We must therefore look to a
further modification of the French Cabinet, so that
the Chambers may meet a Government unanimous
in their views as to the Roman difficulty, for that
will assuredly be one of the main questions of the
coming session, lam told that the friends of the
ex-King of Naples, the ex- Grand Duke of Tuscany,
and the exiled Princes of Modena and Parma con-
' eider that their chances for a return to their royal
palaces have very much increased. True, only the
clerical journals as yet hint at the possible restora-
tion ; but, perhaps, when we get a French Cabinet
of one mind on this subject, we shall hear more
about the Villafranca Treaty in official quarters.
Of course France, having acknowledged Italy, will
not openly draw the sword on Italy to erase her
own victories from the plains of Lombardy. That
is not expected; but if anarchy reigns in the Nea-
politan States—if the people of Tuscany and the
Duchies are said to be disunited—if the Holy
Father thinks that the very existence of the Roman
faith is in danger by the constitutional rule of Vic-
tor Emmanuel, might not the Emperor Napoleon
be induced to permit Austria, with the little army
of the Duke of Modena, to come in and restore
the exiled prince for whom the Italians are
sighing ? That is the sort of game that will be
attempted. France may keep her army at Rome;
but there will be no status quo. We must go
backwards or forwards. The Papacy is crying out
for a restoration of the States of the Church incor-
porated in the kingdom of Italy, and the exiled
princes have more friends at the French Court than
Victor Emmanuel and his Imperial Highness
Prince Napoleon can command. If Italy gives up
the idea of obtaining Rome they will not give up
the idea of destroying constitutional Italy. Alto-
gether it is of the utmost importance that the
Italian Parliament should be united, and place the
country in a defensive state. Look to no help from
England or France, and even remember that ehe
has a permanent enemy in that European reaction
which has penetrated, if it does not reign, in impe-
rial palaces. Those who wish to profit by the signs
of the times should observe the correspondence
coming from Italy just now_ Since the policy of
France towards Rome has become more favourable
than ever, the additional brigand bands have left
Rome. They are now mounted and well armed for
the winter campaign. On a late occasion a tr9o.p. of.
200 fell upon some 40 Italian infantry. They kat ed
them all, whilst the officer was slowly roasted alive
The French flag at Rome is responsible, because the
Pope, according to French diplomacy, ought to be
Maitre chez lin. '"
