have been sown there,

and that the crop will still

be armed men.

" I hear that a hint :has been given to 'he editors
of certain Paris papers, to open their small artillery
that is, to be ready with a series of articles against
the Belgian Government on account of the fortifi-
cations of Antwerp. Any pretext will serve. The
(paper) campaign against Austria was begun in
La Presse months b efore war actually broke out."

The following ii from the Paris letter of the

Morning Post (Seco ad Edition) :

" The French journals print the debate in the
Elouse of Commons on the condition and prospects

of Italy. The spolaches have been read in Paris
with interest, and, vailfar as I can judge, the general
impression on this side of the water is that her
Majesty's Government will not be able to improve
the conditien in which the two Emperors have left

the people of the Italian peninsula. Diplomatists
with whom I have conversed see no way out of the
difficulty until revolution and anarchy have obliged
again foreign troops to occupy portions of the Roman
States—Tuscany, Modena, and Parma. As for
carrying out the idea of a confederation headed by
the Pope, that is an impossibility, so long as civil
and religious freedom exist in Sardinia and Sardinian
Lombardy. Permit me to point out to you what I
take to be at the bottom of the difficulty so far as
France is concerned. I maintain that no Sovereign
of France whose throne rests on universal suffrage
can afford to offend the Roman Catholic Church.
A nod from Rome would put the Emperor in a
minority in most of the departments of France. I
do not pretend to say that a nod from Rome would
be headed by the large towns ; but there are s hole
districts of France where the priests could influence
the population. Therefore, let there be no mistake
about it; Napoleon 111. will not offend the Pope
or contend with the Vatican. The Emperor has
clearly shown in his treaty of Villafranca that
French federal policy in Italy is to be subject to the
influence of the Church. The Pope is to direct and
Austria is to be the executive. That is what it will
come to in the end. Ever since the whole world
condemned the late treaty of peace the French Go-
vernment has been trying to get France out of an
awkward posision. What has been -he result? Aus-
tria, satisfied with her bargain, only wants to get her
contract ratified at Zurich. As for revising the
treaty for the good of Italy, she has not the slightest
intention of doing anything of the sort. On the
contrary, she keeps at least 150,000 troops in Venetia
and the new frontier fortresses, and there they will
remain threaten in gPiedmont from theMincio instead
of the Ticino. We do not believe on this side of the
water that England will ever succeed in changing
the actual position, and therefore the debates in the
House, though highly interesting, are not considered
in Paris to possess any real political value. Mr.
Bowyer may congratulate himself on having given
us much amusement on this side of the water. A
Frenchman said to me to-day, " Your Parliament
is becoming universal. M. Bowyer evidently re-
presents Rome, and you have French and Austrian
deputies. Our Parliaments have contained members
for the Pope also ; but more clever men than M.
Bowyer." I do not recollect a French deputy ever
going so far as to say " that the Roman Government
had been an improving one for many years; that
it was a good Government ; that it was a pro-
gressive Government." We in France, continued
my friend, always thought the expense which
France incurred in keeping an army in Rome
for the last ten years originated in the dis-
content of the people of the Roman States
originally in the governing system of the Papacy.
I have known all classes of his Holiness' subjects for
many years, and I never met with one who came
up to M. Bowyer. He is or should be a political
arbiter elegantiartent to the Pope at Rome, when he
might persuade old ladies of the virtues of the Papal
Government us he introduced them to the Papal
paradise of his own imagination."
