We are besieged, Monsieur, besieeed BY France, in
the name Of protective mission while some leagues
off the hing Of Naples aying carries OF our hostages
and the Austrian Stays our brothers.
You have presented propositions. Those propositions
have been declared inadmissble by the Assembly To

The root Of the question s not true. 1t is Ia the oc-
oupstion Of Rome This demand has constantly stood
hrst in your let Of propositions. Now we have had
the honor to say TO you Monsieur that is impossible
The people will consent to it. II the occupation
Of Rome has for aim only protect it, the people

Capiials
There are for France only three parts to take in the
Roman states. she ought to declare herseli for u,
against US or neuer To declare herself for would
be TO recognize our Republic and fight side by side with
| Ne against the Austrisns
To declare against is 10 crush without motive the
liberty the national life Of friendly people, and fgh;
| side by side with the Austrians
| France cannot do that She piA not risk European
War 10 depress ally Let her then, rest neuer
in this conflict between US and our enemies only yes
terday We hoped more from her, but to day demand
| only this.
The occu alton of Cvita Veccha Is a fact accom-
phshed let it 60 France thinks that In the presen,
state of things she ought not TO remain distant from
the field OF battle She thinks that, vanqushers or
| ,anquished We may have need Of her moderatiye
tion and of her protection. We do not think bui
we will not react against her. Let her keep Civits
| Veccha Let her extend her encampmcnts If the
numbers of her troops require 1t the healthy regions
Of Civita Vecchia and viterbo Let her then wait the
Issue OF the combsts shout to take place All facilities
will be offered her, every proof OF frank and cordis
sympathy given, her officers visit Rome, her sol
ders have all the solsce possible But let her neutrality
be sincere and without Grriep cgse Let her declare
herself in explicit terms Let her leave US free TO us'
| all our forces Let her restore our arms Let hei
not by her cruisers drive back from ports the mel
| who come to our aid from other parts Of Italy. Lei
her above all withdraw from before walls, and lei
even the appearance OF hostility cease between two
nations who later, undoubtedly destined 70 unit,

In his answer, Lesseps appears moved by thi'
statement, and particularly expresses himself

as the Romans would tolerate. He no longer
insisted on occupying Rome, but would content
himself with good positions in the country
