The London morning Post, says, We an
nonnced at the beginning of the year that
victual alliance had been existing between
England and France for the settlement of the
Italian affairs.
We expressly stated that two Governments
bound themselves by no treaties. but that their
agreement was the result of the force of CD
cumsances and the docrin OF public opinion.
This alliance, every day drawn closer, already
begins 10 produce evident tangiable conse-
qnences. 1t is now formally determined that
no Intervention shall take place in Italy and
the people shall be left 10 their own devices

Mistress.
The Post added that the stubornness of the
Pope bids fair to deprive him of the whole Of

still larger proportions, our best, safest and
most benefcient policy is that strict lire of
duty by which this time last year we might
have prevented war, and by which we may
now garantee the peace of Europe. That
line Is no foreign Intervention, but Italy for
Italians.

Chalon's Camp would soon be re-establish-
ed.
The patrie pronounces false the statement of

Of that measure, the early application OF which
will positively make known the state of public
opinion.
