PARIS, Nov. "a, 1889.
This strange business of the italian Regency has
come to a sort of settlement, as other businesses
often do, by failure. That is, BuoncomPagn,
who was not elected Regent by the Assemblies but
"a designated" by Prince Eugene (whO was elected
and refused as his substitute, has, in the character
of missionary of order, not of Regent for Piedmont
gone to concentrate in his hands the governmental
powers of the four Central Italian States. An his
torical outline of the affair, nearly as it can be
got and guessed at for the present, is as follows;
Austria protested some while ago against the choos
ing of a Regent by the Assemblies much more
against the installation of Regent, who could be
but Sandman Viceroy, completing the annexation
of the Center to Piedmont; it would be violation
of the vilafranca agreement, would prevent, in
fact, her signing the Zurich treaties therefore,
Count Rechberg called upon Louis Napoleon, re-
spOnsible guardian of Victor Emanuel, and intluen-
tal friend of the Central States, to have all this
regent-making put a stop to. At the same time
came protest from Rome, in which, so far as the
difference between the relations of Austria and
those of the Pope to l.. n. b. would admit,
Cardinal Antonelli expressed the same sentl-
ments Count Rechberg. There was even GU
rious similarity between the phrases OF the TWO
documents. Tried by diplomatic rules, public law
of Europe law of nations, faith of treaties, and all
that, Count and Cardinal were right-especialy
the Count SO J.. n. B-I use initials for short,

to turn the cold shoulder to Assemblies, TO disap-
prove of them; expresses his own disapprOval OF

favors and an unprotected frontier from his French
iriend-to say nothing of fifty thousand French
soldiers on permanent visits having on
the other hand received the kindest wishes from the
Central States, and generously pledged his royal
word to defend bis own immense interests in ac-
cordance with them, turned cO0sh shoulder TO
the Assemblies but probably made them knowing
signs over it, The Assemblies, by their common and
nearly unanimous election of the Kings cousin to
rule over them, thus reafiirn ing in the
strongest manner possible for them TO ex-
press it in their old desire for annexation, did
all they, by any possibility, could do to confirm
Y. Els rights, and strengthen the argument
of his advocates in the coming Congress.
In that respect the vote itself is the essentials
Carignans acceptance or refusal, a comparatively
unimportant detail The delegates of the Assem-
bhes came to Turin quietly; had no public audience
of the King-oh no, by no means. They offered
regency to the Prince, who in the singular manner
all the world has been told of, declined it, to suit
the high proprietes" that is, the requirements of
the French COurt then took it, to suit the immense
interests of territory and popularity of his cousin;
but Immediately transferred it (under the phrase OF
a designation which he had no power to make, nor
the Delegates to apprOye) to Buoncompagni. All
this while King Victor stands quite one side, per-
fecty mum, making dumb signs over the c0ollsh
shoulder. The transaction was thought an ngen-
ious device for walking round instead of walking
