The evacuation q the Roman States By the
French and Austrian troop has been regarded
BY many o. The key 20 The solution Of the
italian difficulty. That event & no longer a
matter Of speculation, for, a. win b. sssn By
the last mails, The Pope has, through CARDINAL
Antoneli. formally intimated 70 he amhassar
doris Of the two govefnmentshis desire thatthe
occupation should be simultaneously put an
end to, and that within The shortest tint pos
sible.
on course, after such a communication,
neither France nor Austria hss any option left
but 70 withdraw. As the Pope is diplomatic
ally assumed 70 be an independent prince, their
presenee can only De justified by bic sanction.
When, therefore, he declares that he desires ne
removal Of their troops, nsifher government
has a night 70 gainsay BIN. and neither We
believe. has any disposition to Dr. 30. If We
are 10 judge from Lord Malmesbuy's deciara-
tons IN Parliament, this Official notification 81
CARDINAL Antonelii is but the corolary Of toe
decision previously arrived'at by the Austrian
Cabinet That government, DESTROYS Of piac-
ing ITSELF right before the world and Of throw
ing the onus of aggression upon France
properly determined 10 recsde from a position
which was untenahie, and which afforded TO
Louis Napoleon his only Just grounds for a
quarrel Il does not Of course believe that In
evacuatng the Roman States It averfs war it
knows that this 10 Inevitable. and a condition
Of is existence as q great military rival OF
France but Il feels that In entering upon a
conflict like that in which il Is about 10 be en-
gagged II is imp0rtaht that II should secure the
moral conference and sympathy Of the world.
Louis Napoleon il Of course not only willing,
but anxious, 20 comply with the Pope'srequisi-
uon- for Il advances him a step nearer 70 the
accomplishment Of his schemes. b ten
thousand French troops stationed in Rome and
Civita Necchia are at present a positive OBJ
staele 20 them. What he wants IS, not q par
tial occupation, based on the Pontilfs neoessi-
ties, but an occupation on his own account,
justified by an appeal from The Italian popula-
tons. A political Tartufe Of the most I'M
blushing kind, be only advances to his objects
under ihe cover Of a sham liberalism and a
pretended moral necessity and thus be con
tuves 10 humbug one half of the world while
be enchains and e~nslares the other.
Does the near prospect 81 the evacuation Of
the Roman territory bring tranquility and con-
hdence back 10 the disturbed mind Of Europe :
if we look 70 the London and Paris money
markets. those mfaIible baromelers Of public
se1tsment, We find bat few evidences Of IT,
Notwithstanding Lord M3lmesburV's assu-
RANGES that the French Government means
nothing hostile 10 the peace Of the world BY
the continuance Of IFS naval and military pre-
partitions, the fact that they are c~outinued, and
that on the most stupencous scale, naturally
coutri butes 30 keep alive the anxiety and dis
trust which have had such a feverish influence
on the funds. To say nothing of the huctua-
lions of Eaglish securities, The statement that
large sales Of L0mbardo- Nenctian and French
railway shares continue 30 BE- made, and the
stll more significant annpuncement thai the
banking house Of Fould & CO. have refused 70
take the new Sardinian loan, are in themselves
sufficient indications that the concession made
hy Austria is regarded but as an installment of
what France and Sardinia are prepared 70 eX-
act from her. In fact, the PGf1ie intimates 3s
much and as that journal is supposed to
speak from authority, we have to look 70 the
Instructions Of Lord CoWleY, or rather 10 the
results Of Dis mission, for some explanation Of
what the further demands Of those Govern
ments are.
Il will be seen from what we have stated
,hat the withdrawal Of the Austrian troops
from the Papal Territories, so far from settling
anything defnIlirely, viii only serve 20 precipi-
tate the conf Ct Of the two great military Pow
ers which are intent upon securinC1he suprem-
7cv in italy. Nobody believes hat the Pope
wIl be able TO maintain himself for anV length
of time in Rome after the occupation ceases.
A general revolt VIII again send him fying
into Naples; and then win arise a desperate
contest between the republican party aud the
modcrates, who dream Of Italian independence
under a constitutional monarchy. In the an
archY that VIII follow appeals viii be made by
The latter 10 Sardinia for assistance, while, on
the other hand, it is not likely that Austria
win calmly look on and see he Church stripped
of its tempoTalties. The FIRST move made by
Austrian troops 10 its assistance viii be the
signal Tor the advance of a French army into
Ifslv. and then viii begin that prolonged and
desperate struggle which we are told IS to end
either ia the Acknowledgement and partition Of
the Austrian empire or the second overthrow
and prescription Of the Napoleon dynasty.
