Between each OF these expressive sentences
the speaker paused the great bell of the Capitol
gave forth its solemn melodies the cannon an

The imposing grandeur Of the spectacle to me
gave new force to the thought that already swelled
my heart my nerves thrilled and longed to see
in some answering glance aspark of hienzi, a Int
tie Of that soul which made my country what she
is The American at my side remained impassive.
Receiving all his birthright from triumph OF De-
Inocracv. he was quite Indifferent to this nantes
tation on this consecrated spot. Passing the YIN
ter in Rome to study Art, he was lnsensble to the
artistic beauty OF the scene-insensbet to this new
life of that spirt from which all the forms he gazes
at in galleries emanated. He d" did not sec the use
OF these popular demonstrations
Again mus. mention a remark of his as spe-
cimen Of the ignorance in which Americans usu-
ally remain during their Eighty visits to these
scenes, where they associate only with one an
other And | do it the rather as this seemed a
really thoughtful, intelligent man no vain, vulgar
trHer. He said
q" The people seem only TO be looking on, they
take no part
"What people r. said |.
"Why, these round us there is no other peo'
pie
There are few beggars errand boys and nurse
maids.
Tho others only soldiers
"Soldiersl The Civic Guard; all the decent
men in Rome
Thus it is that the American, on many points,
becomes more ignorant for coming abroad, because
he attaches some value to his crude Impressions
and frequent blunders. Ii is not thus that any
seed corn can DO gathered from foreign gardens.
Without modest scrutiny, patient study and OBJ
servation be spends his money and goes home
with a new coat perhaps, but mind beiooled
rather than instructed. 1t is necessary to speak
the languages of these countries and know per-
sonallv some of their inhabitants in order to any
accurate impressions.
The flight OF the Grand Duke Of Tuscany fol-
lowed In imitation of his great exemplar he
promised and smiled to the last decevng Monta-
nelli the pure and sincere, at the very moment
he vas about to enter his carriage, into tho belief
that no persevered in his assent to the liberal
movement. His position was certainly very diff
cult, but he might have left it like gentleman
like q man of honor. 7 was pity to destroy so
lightly the good opinion the Tuscans had of him.
Now Tuscany meditates union with Rome.
Meanwhile, Charles Albert is filed with alarm.
He is indeed betwixt two fires. Gioberti has
published ono of his prolx, weak addresses, IN
which he says that in the beginning of every rev
oution you must fix limit beyond which you will
not go; that, for himself, he has done it-others
are surprising his mark and he will not go any
farther OF the want OF thought, OF insight to his
torc and ali other truths which distinguishes the
| d" iustrous Gioberti, this assumption is specl-
men, But it makes no difference; he and his
Prince must go sooner or later, if the movement
continues nor is there any prospect OF its being
stayed unless by foreign intervention This the
Pope has not yetit is believed solicited, but there
is little reason to hope he will be spared that
crowning disgrace. lie has already consented to
the Indictment of civil war. Should an intervcn-
ton be solicited all depends on France. VIII she
basey forfeit every pledge and every duty, to say
nothing of her true interest 1t seems that her
President stands doubtful, intending to do what is
for his particular interest but If his interest
proves opposed to the republican principle, will
France suffer herself again to be hoodwinked and

On England no dependence can be placed. She
