THE SUN.
tIATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1859.

Who can yet tell " what next" in Italy. Blood
may yet floe again, and if Austria and the exiled
Dukes can ha vo their way it will flow again. We,
once, had a Provender who did not hesitate, sup-
ported by foreign aid, to attempt to drive out the
family whom the people's representatives had placed
on the throne of England ; and he found Jacobites,
—that is, Retrogradists, Legitimists, and Divine
Right men here, ready to co-operate with him. It is
not to be wondered at, therefore, that the expelled
Dukes, and Austria, on whom they were much
more dependent than were the STUARTS on France,
should do all they can to foment internal disturb-
ance in tne Duchies, and to raise troops, if they
can, to invade them. We are not surprised, there-
fore, to hear that a Colonel ANVITT had wormed
his way into Parma, and, that having been dis-
covered by the populace, the few troops at hand
were unable to save him from popular violence.
He had come for the purpose of getting up a con-
spiracy against the people, and the people inflicted,
themselves, by Lynch-law, the penalties of treason.
Such was the story yesterday—one not unlikely to
be true. Of course it is much to be regretted—it
will be Inatter of exultation with the enemy,
though all is now as tranquil as before, and though
it only shows that the lowest orders share the
views of those above them.

The reports also gather strength that the re-
jected rulers are devising means for bloodshed.
The four or five thousand mercenaries whom the
Duke of MODENA took to Solferino to
fight with Austria against his country have
been kept together ; they have proved the nucleus
of a small army, which is said to amount now to
now or 18,000 men. Out of the depths of her
poverty, Austria will still do her best to equip them.
The little army will, no doubt, contain every villain
ready enough to hire himself to despots who can
freely promise to reward success with the spoils of
.confiscation ; and many ragged Germans, and per-
haps many from the semi-barbarous races which
form part of the Austrian empire, will enlist in this
brigand expedition for despotism and plunder.
The POPE, too, is enlisting all he can of the gentle
Swiss shepherds, who took such care of the Holy
Father's flock at Perugia. Some, who had left the
Neapolitan service, he has hired at Marseilles, where
they are described as being a set of the most ruffianly
fellows upon earth. " The Holy Father's Dogs of
the flock" would evidently be their appropriate de-
scription. They are indeed the very Cains of the
day. Their own land forbids their doings, and is
ashamed that they should bear the name of Swiss.
They are ashamed of nothing, if they can but re-
ceive the Apostolic Commission from the Holy
Father. " There is a town which insists on liberty
from the rule of my beloved under shepherds, and
from mine—go—bring them to obedience—satisfy
my wrath with blood, and yourselves with pillage."
Such is the order hourly expected by the Romag-
nese against their now free towns.

But, as we remarked the other day, the Romag-
nese, Modenese, and Parmese, are not quite asleep.
FANTI and GARIBALDI are raising 20,000 men in
the Romagna to defend the newly-acquired freedom
from the pastoral visits of the POPE'S Perugians.
A Tong denunciation,in an allocution of his HOLINESS
to his Consistory, with a proper proportion of
ecclesiastical artillery, will give little concern. No-
where are ecclesiastical maledictions less drecded
than in the place whence they issue. The motive
is too transparent to allow even the superstitious to
fear that Heaven will ratify the decrees of gross, un-
yarn ished secular ambition. In the Duchies the troops
already raised are at least a match, in point of num -
hers, for all the wandering Dukes can bring age.i n:4
them. And FAN TI and GARIBALDI and a national
cause will surely be -weapons worth something. It
would be at first a fight of patriotism with piracy
—for plunder will be the sole object of the Dukes'
desperadoes.
But, should a movement be made, who can
foresee the ism If the Italians drive back
the ducal brigands, well ; yet Austria ought
to be more than remonstrated with, if she
suffers her pet Dukes to plot, on her territory,
