| The manifesto addressed by Count Walewski de-
| MES that France wishes to extend its influence In
Italy, and asserts that she only wishes to see the
Italian States set up to govern themselves. This
desire he believes is also entertained at London,
St. Petersburg, and Berlin. lie adds:
The French government entertains the firm

ty will continue to perseyere 10 an attitude which
by uniting by a moral bond the policy OF the
two countries oiu aio,o the cabinets Of Fdrs and Of

will soon admit that it depends great deal upon

take part in it, has at least the Consciousness OF
