French Ambassador, at Rome, are published by
which IT appears that a new ministry has been
formed that the Pope is at liberty: but that he was
constrained TO consent to the formation of the
present ministry. The object OF the new ministry,
as IN their programme appears. Is an Italian
cOntederacy OF all the Italian states. But | will
remark, that next to the Spanish, the Italians
the most incompetent people OF this age tor self
gOvernment-that as a steady, regular, and firm
government, the Spaniards are incapable of any
gOvemment-monarchial or republican-and IN
oe Theirs 'as 20 is ~ one Of Of m
tua oppression, robbery OF public funds, assassna-
ton, and civil war. The Italians of the present
age are much too nearly allied with this Spanish
system of government-both people are lazy, idle,
and incompetent, to n certain degree, beyond that
OF most OF the other nations OF Europe. Yet, IN
many parts of Italy the peoplelhave fought heroic
ally !; and the above remarks are to be limited to
certain arts OF Italy, and to certain classes of the
lower orders of the people-although among the
higher classes, there is good deal of bravado;
which prefer to enter into an lnsurrectiOn to Join
ing any army IN actual war with the enemies of
their country. Had the Ital lans entered into the
war in good faith, as whole people, and acted,
instead OF talalng, and passing resolves, and
staying away from the scenes of danger,
Charles Albert, incompetent as he and his
officers were to conduct a campaign, could have
prevented Radetsky from entering Milan, or re.
gaining his losses. NM Pyat and Proudhon, the
