IHE FEENENI bN ItALl.
PARIS, Monday, Oct 3rd.-If we may
judge from appearances, from omens that
succeed each other thick and fast Italan af-
fairs approach crisis The last three days
have been fertile in such indications. |
yesterday spoke to you Of the circular of
the Pedmontese Government, which is to-
day mentioned in several of the Paris papers.
Victor Emanuel keeps the promise he made
10 support the cause of the Central Italians
with the great Powers His proceeding is
very clear and direct. He urges the annex
alton of the Duchies and Legations although
the Igtter may not be mentioned, there seems
no doubt Of their being included in the pro-
gramme-and he gives his reasons why it
would be for the advantage of Europe to
form strong State in Upper Italy. lie
puts his case, so far as we can judge from
the sketch of the note that has become pub,
lie, with considerable energy, and although
there may not be grounds to believe that he
hints, even remotely, at what 10 likely to
occur in Italy should his representations be
neglected, we may find elsewhere an answer
to that Inquiry.
General Fanti, in his recent order Of the
day expresses himself pretty clearly. APP
pointed, he says, to the command in chief of
the military forces of the Central Italian
League, he asks of his soldiers devotion to
their flag, faith in their rights, and perse'
verance in their object qualities which,
combined, will assuredIy lead to the triumph
of independence. He quotes the words ad
dressed by Napoleon III to the italians
when as yet Villa Franco was undreamt of.
He says
"Be nothing but soldiers to day. Let us
toll increasingly in order to be ready for the
struggle that shall lead US to complete en-.
franchisement. Let part of you watch in
trepidy at the frontier, which the present
condition of affairs obliges as to respect, un
I'll We be all in arms ready to fly thither
where peril presents itself, should the enemy
dare to vioSte our frontier"
He concludes by saying that the tri.coor,
with the old cross Of Savoy, shall precede
them in the fresh battles that will forever
free Itlay from the stranger. There can
hardly be palmer speaking than this
Garibaldi, on his side, displays his wont>
ed energy and decision. He summons thr
Italians of the Legations to arms, and opens,
with contribution of 5090f., subscriPtion
fixed at 1,000,000f., for the purchase of
muskots If the Italians be worthy Of the
great sympathy they have obtained, his ap
peal for men and money will be promptly
and largely responded to. 1t will be the
best way Of replying to aome of the French
al, . I'll,
ness of the volunteers to whom the chief of
the Chasseurs of the Alps addresses his ell.
thusiastic call to arms. From various guar
ters we hear that collision is very shortly
expected, but accounts differ As to by whom
the ball is to be opened An invasion of
the Romagna by the Papal troops is appre,
hended by's0me while others pretend that
Garibald is preparing an adventurous oxpe
dition. The latter seems unlikely. The
army of Central Italy should evidel tly, for {
the moment, content itself with standing on a
the defensive. There are rumors of an ap. d
plOaching movement of the Neapolitan troops
from the Abruzz into the Papal States and,
further still to complicate matters, the tele. :
graph to-day informs us that the Pope has f
passports, in consequence of Victor Eman.

tions. This last piece of intelligence, how
ever, is not generally accepted as positive,
and many thak it at least premature. =
@How is a. this to end p is the question
everybody asks, and to which none will k
hazard even a conjecture in reply The !,
den0uement Of this complicated situation y
must chiefly depend on the real value of r
those whose welfare and liberties are at e
stake-of the Italians themselves Have
they the courage aud the patriotism attrib-
uted to them by their more sanguine friends !
and with which a few ardent and energetic
leaders strain every resource to inspire tLem o

riches, and their Iives in the cause of their u
country and independence 2 viii they
fight for their rights like men, or shrink -
from the struggle like the degenerate race

prove true to themselves, their position is /
yet good one. Some here would fain make u
it be believed that they are on the eve of h

sentations appear to proceed from quarters .
interested in obtaining credit for them, but tc
it is from Italy itself that we must expect
their positive contradiction.
To-day's Nord has the following comment
on the present attitude of Central Italy. and ,,
on the preparation aud independent action
there observable:
"To those who may BE astonisbed at the 6
audacity of the Italians in moving forward u
without waiting for the decision Of Europe, 81
we will say that they have full confidence. in

Suaded that he will succeed in the solution n
Of this difficult problem, bnt at the same

proclamation and the article in the Moniteur d.
