Intervention of France in the Affairs of Rome.
In the National Assembly on Monday the Presi-
dent of the Council of Ministers made COMMUNE
cation relative to the intervention Of France in
Italy. He stated, in substance that the contre
coup of the victories gained by the Austrans over
the Piedmontese would be felt throughout the
whole O. Central Italy; that crisis appeared to
be imminent in the Roman States, and that France
would not remain Indifferent to such state of
things; he added that the protection of natives of
France resident in Italy, the necessity of maintain
ing the legitimate influence which France no longer
possessed in Italy, and the desire which the French
Government felt TO contribute towards obtaining

upon liberal institutions, rendered it duty of the
Cabinet to make use of the liberty which the As
sembly had granted to it, by its vote of the 29th of
March, to occupy temporarily the territory Of that
peninsula. The Minister said that it was mpos-
sible for him to enter upon further details. Out of
the intervention of France would arise efficacious
guarantee for the interest of their (the FRENCH
policy, and for the cause of liberty. On finishing
his speech, NJ. Odilon Barrot read project of law
granting credit to the Government of 100000
francs, to meet the additional expenses required for
the support on war footing, during three months
of the troops forming the expedition. At the re-
quest of the Minister, the Assembly Immediately
met in its bureau to appoint committee to make a
report the urgency of the projet of law in ques
ton. The communication of the Council was lis
tened to by the Assembly with profound silence.
Mr.. jules Favre presented the report of the com
mittee, which was unanimous, of the urgency de.
manded by the Government A debate ensued on
the projet of law proposed by M. Odillon Barrot.
The first clause of 100000 francs, to enable the
Government to meet the expense of putting the eX
petition to Civiti Vecchia a war footing,
passed by vote of 1876 to 2S3, making jorily
in favor of the Government of H. The second
clause passed without division of the Assem-
bly,. On the final division there were for the bill,
1893; against, l06--making majority of 2S7; but
on this occasion, the " mountain y having abstaned
from voting. the total number of votes was only
499, which is one less than the number required
by the regulations. The vote was consequently
null. A second vote was taken on the question on
Tuesday, when the measure was carried by ma
jority of 1888 to 49, 1t appears from the accounts
from Paris that the Government have determined
to send an army of IA 900 to Rome to assist the
Pope, Lenore fOudnot to command. The Presi-
dent Of the Council says that care will be taken to
secure a free and liberal Government to the Roman
people. Rumors were in circulation in Paris on
the 18th ult. of the modification of the ministry.
General Lamoriciere is spoken of for the Ministry
of War, and Gen. Bedau for Foreign Affairs
The German Empire.
Germany is still in state of great confusion.
The Prussian government is said TO have obtained
the assent Of few of the small States, such as
Hesse Cassel, Brunswick and Weimar, TO the as
sumption of the Imperial dignity by the King; but
these form only small part of the States of Ger
many Austria is of course violently opposed to
plan which would transfer the imperial dignity
from the House of Hapsburgh to that of Branden-
for population and Influence, is scarcely less so.
Both France and Russia strongly opposed to the
change. All these difficulties may perhaps be got
over. ifthe smaller States of Germany We're unan-
imous in favor of the union with Prussia But this
is not the fact Hanover, whose assent is essential
to the carrying out Of the scheme, is not likely TO
give it; and Saxony has too strong sense of what
reasons she has against reconstituting the German
Empire on the basis proposed at Frankfort and
even if they could be overcome, it is doubtful if she
would assent. The following significant paragraph
appears in the second edition ofthe Cologne Gazette
of the 18th:
CA new Pr,Issian note, bearing date April 18th,
and intended as an answer to the Austrian one of
the Sth, has in the cleares, and most unequvocal
manner declared to the Olmul Cabinet that the
Prussian government will not be deferred by the
opposition of the Austrian Ministry from assisting
with all its power in aspeedy formation Of Union
Confederate State, and it is firmly resolved to
uphold and protect the work This will be &C.
