Italy.

The French at Rome—this is the great illegality,
the great infringement of the nationality principle
of the present moment. VICTOR EMMANUEL, in
entering the States of the Church and the kingdom
of the Two Sicilies, has, it is acknowledged, set
aside diplomatic law or usages. But VICTOR Em-
MANUEL, has, it is equally acknowledged, acted on
the sacred ground of the fundamental. rights of
peoples. He has annexed no State—he has entered
no State, in which the vast majority of the people
were not eager to accept his monarchy and to send
their representatives to his free Parliament. When
the rights of the people and technical diplomacy
mme into collision, that the latter ought to be tossed
aside with contempt,.is what no liberal, no reason-
able man will deny. Here is the fair justification
of the King of PIEDMONT for all he has
done ; he needs no other. But the French at
Rome are purely unwarranted intermeddlers and
obstructors. They have neither diplomacy nor
fundamental principles on their side. No one asked
them to go to Rome ; least of all the people. They
went for the glory of the thing ; for the sake of
buying the aid of the Roman Catholic clergy in
France ; and, that they, might match themselves
with the Austrians—at that time masters of the
Legations. They went, to the disgust of their own
soldiers, who were compelled, indeed, to fight for
their national flag, but who openly murmured at
being led to the subversion of a sister Republic and
the reinstatement of the odious temporal rule of the
POPE and his Cardinals. They went to be resisted
to the last by GARIBALDI and the brave people
themselves, and installed themselves there in defiance
of every law, human and divine—indeed by the
law of the bayonet only.
And as their title was originally bad, so twelve
years of ministering to ecclesiastical oppression
have not improved it. For this long time have the
French been acting a part little more justifiable
%than that of the Austrians. They have imposed a
ruler on the people ; they keep him there. They
held the stirrups to his Holiness in 1848, they hold
his Holiness in the saddle in 1860, and prevent the
subjugated Romans from rearing, and plunging,
and pitching his Holy Majesty to the ground till
this hour. Is this the position for " generous
Frautce," as Count c
AVOUR terms her, to
occupy ? Is it worthy of her to be the vicarious
oppressor of a feeble—a very small people ?
For she is surely as responsible for all the
deeds of ANTONELLI as if she perpetrated them her-
self. And yet M. THOUVENEL, through his friend
BONIFACE of the Constitutionnel, actually lectures
the King of SARDINIA for invading Naples at the
request of the Neapolitans ! France, who forces
herself on the Romans that she may force a Sove-
reign on them, takes to task a Sovereign who
does to a people that have turned out their tyrant
King, and invoke his aid as a patriot King.
But what now is to be done with LOUIS NAPO-
LEON'S Frenchmen. There they stand between
Northern and Southern Italy, keeping Italy out of
her capital and the Romans out of their primary
rights. They are even increasing their numbers.
Till lately they did keep within unlucky Rome.
The country around welcomed the Sardinians, and
began to breathe. But all of a sudden they begin
to increase their numbers —to put garrisons in
the adjacent towns, and one of their last move-
ments is to reoccupy Viterbo, to compel the Sar
dinians to leave it, to restore the Papal rule, and ;he

conaequence is that the better part of the citizens
have felt obliged to emigrate to some part of free

What 6to be done with than. Neither GARI-
I3ALDI nor the king of SARDINIA can attack them,
tho more cowardly, therefore, their conduct. They
are the very marplots of Italian unity. Austria
