not improbable that toe burnioe bate of the Italians
toward their oppr ssors Combined with Their ever
increasing ,uf-riIg, will hnd vens Ia grn-ral

for If hope deferred make.h the hart sick, fdI-
flnent of prophecy deferred maketh the mind

Papal St,tes dwell in detail on the increasing
abuses Of clerical COVE rnment, and th- deep-rooed
belief Of the Romsa population that reform or
sueLcrstion is iwpossal, that total overthrow
Of said government is the sole remedy-tha. this
remedy would have been administered long since,
but for TIE pres-D of Swiss, French and Austrian

cls., such an attempt may be made at any day or
Ct any hour.

nOtprepared to say whether these manifestations
are entirely the spontaneous ebutious of the popu-

agents of Louis Napoleon and Of his ally Count
Cayour. Judging from appearances, Piedmont,

Hubner; from the concentration of so powerful
force at Algiers, it is not unnatural TO suppose
that hostilities 10 Austria would commence with an
attack on her Italian provincss the warllke prepa-
rations Of Piedmont, the all but declarations OF
war to Austria that emanste daily from the official
and semi official portion of the PiedmOntese press,
give color TO the surmise that the King will avail
himself If the frat preteIt to cross the IIcino.
Moreover, the report that Gsribslii the hero Of
Moptevidro and OF Rome has been summoned to
Turin, is confirmed from private and reliable
sources. Cayour has had an interview with Carl
bald, informed him of the prospects of speedy
wsr, and has suggested TO him the wisdom OF col
lecting and Organizing volunteers. Austria, one OF
the ch ef parties concerned, gives evident proof
that she lends credence to the rumors. In addition

pro9inces. she ia SugmentEg her forces by every
