CONDITION OF ITALY-The beliefs gaining
ground that Louis Napoleon will not force the
banishPd dynastles on III" Italian Duchics. and
We incline to this belief ourselves; but it is also
toerably evident that he has no desire to see
them annexed 10 Piedmont, which is their own
desire. Victor Emmanuel must be content
apparently, with the prize which he has gained
IN The possession ot Lomhardy. SO far the peo-
pie IN the Duchles have conducted themselves
and it would be cruelty to deprive
men who have shown much aptitude for self
government of that liberty Of which they have
proved themselves so worthy. Even the Inu0-
lite RuSSe has caught the spirit of progress.
for it advocates Italian independence, and de-
nOunces the Treaty of Vienna.
This authority Is of opinion that France and
Austria may come to blows again unless the
Ituian question is settled on large ma liberal
basis. In connection with Italy. it is important
to know that Cardinal Anienelli is now out of
office, and the Roman Pontif is shortly cxpec-
ted to ammo ince reforms which the Emperor
Napoleon has forced on his attention. Put.
perhaps, the most remarkable intelligence from
Italy is the position which General Garibald;
has assumed at the head of the army of Central
ltniy. He has under him, it is said, no less
than 10000 men-a force which NAV give The
Austrlans some trouble if an appeal 10 arms
