ROME October, ls, le47.
In the Spring when | came to Rome the peo-
ME we're in the intoxication Of Joy at the frat ser
ous measures of reform taken by the Pope. I saw
with pleasure their childlike Joy and trust saw
with pleasure the Pope, who has not in his expires

liberal sympathies Heart had spoken to heart be-

feeling generous designs the part of a ruler he
had wished 20 be o father and the Italians, with
that readiness of genius that characterizes them,
entered at once into the relation; they, the Roman
people, stigmatized by prejudice as so crafty and
lerocious showed themselves children, eager to
learn, quick to obey, happy to confide.
Still, doubts were always present whether all
this ioy was not premature. The task undertaken
BY the Pope seemed to present insuperabe Difficult

great crisis not merely to revolution but TO radi-
cal reform. From the people themselves the help
must come and not from princes: In the new state
Of things there will be none bat natural princes,
great men. From the aspirations OF the general
heart from the teachings Of conscience in indvidu

steadily that it was the right Of the people, was
very -epulsive to me. The Moderate party, like
81 who. in transition state, manage affairs with
constant eye to prudence, lacks dignity always 10
It's expositions il is disagreeabe and depressing
to read them.
Passing into Tuscany, found the Liberty of the
Press just established and a superior preparation
to make use of it. The Aiba,' the Pot'7a, were
begun. and have been continued with equal judg-
ment and spirit Their aim is to educate the youth,
to educate the lower people, they see that this IS
70 be done by promoting Thought fearessly' yet
urge temperance in action, while the time Is YET
50 difficult and many of its signs dubious. They
,im at breaking down those barriers between the
different States of Italy, relics of barbarous state
Of poliiy, srtifcslly kept up by the craft OF her
foes While anxious not to break down what Is
really native to the Italian character deiences and
differences that give individual genius chance to
grow AID the fruits OF each region to rpen in their
natural way, they aim at harmony oil spirit as 10
measures of education and for the affairs of busi-
ness without which Italy can never as one nation
present front strong enough to resist foreign rob
berry, and for want Of which 50 much time and
talent nre wasted here and internal development
almost wholly checked.
There is in Tuscany large corps of enlightened
minds wei prepared to be the instructors the elder
brothers snd guardians of the lower people, and
whose hearts burn 10 fulfil that noble Office. Hith-
erto IL had been almost impossible to them, for the
reasons 1 have named in speaking Of Lombardy
but during these last four months that the way has
been opened by the Freedom of the Press and es-
tsbhshment OF the National Guard-so valuable,
FIRST Of ALL as giving occasion for public meetings
and free interchange Of thought between the diher
ent classes il 10 surprising how much Light they
have been able TO diiuse already.

when returned TO Tuscany and saw the great de-
velopment and diffusion OF thought that had taken
place during nv brief absence The Grand Duke
