The relations between the French Government
and the Court OF Rome are far from being amica-
bic. Besides other matters which have led tn a
coldness between Napoleon's Government and the
Holy See since the Mortara affair, must be added
the discovery recently made by the Court of Rome
oi correspondence which exposes the whole of
the plans formed by the Emperor for the re arrange
ment OF ltay v According to this plan for fbe
campaign, France to be placed in italy with
6O,oOO men, Piedmont with $4,000 men, besides a
reserve OF 400OO No one doubts that if the main
features OF tins coup deat correct and if the
diplomatic manGuvres Of France should succeed in
isoatlng Austria, that this latter power will be
promptly and completely expelled from Italy. Then
Italy will (such at all events is the report) be di
vided as follows Piedmont will receive the Ouch

all the Catholic sOvereigns, with a view to their
raising a subvention themselves which would in |
demnify his Holiness for the loss of his territorial |
possessions and power. The whole of this GRAND |
comedy Is to be completed by the establishment of
