THE FRENCH CIRCULAR.

The semi-official Etcndard thus comments upon the
French Minister's circular on the Roman question :—" This
document clearly sets forth the essential points of the
situation. The occupation of Pontifical territory by Italian

troops is a violation of the right of nations ; it has been re•
solved upon without the consent of France; not only has
France not given her consent to this act, but has
absolutely condemned it. The despatch confines itself,
however, to a statement of facts. Do the explana-
tions which General La Marmora has come to furnish
to the Cabinet of Paris permit the hope that a means of
reconciliation and a way of re-entering the path of inter,
national right will be found? We wish we could say that
we hope this. We fear, on the contrary, that Italy, in-
stead of the necessary satisfaction, has only to communi-
cate new and inacceptable pretensions. Bray we be
deceived ! In the meanwhile, Garibaldi lies between two
armies, who cannot see with an indiarent eye either
his success or his defeat. Ire is a lighted match
between two trains of powder. 'What is—we will not say
the object—but the pretext of Italian occupation if Gari-
baldi is not placed in a condition in which ho can do no
mischief ?"
Whatever may be thought of the political aspect of
French intervention in Italy, Napoleon has reason to be
proud of it from a military point of view. In the course
of a week 16,000 men and 2,000 horses were embarked at
Toulon, landed at Civita Vecchia, and the transports
returned to Toulon. At the same port the whole of the
ironclad squadron has arrived from the north-western
ports. Thus, if war should break out, France will be able
to blockade all the principal ports of Italy at twenty-foul
hours' notice.
It is believed that England has declined to take part in
the proposed Congress, either unconditionally, or at leas;
until it is clearly stated what the proposals to be laid
before the Congress are. The Italian Government is said
to be also strongly opposed to the Congress ; this, holt
Mr. is not probable.
