tl0n OF italy Is no longer Dream the tribunal of
puoiic opinion has declared In its favor and let us
hope that it is reserved for her greatest politician at
last 20 carry this idea into the region of fact
A few days since The Times asserted that ENGLAND
had demanded OF Austria whether she intended IN
mike the infractiOn of the treaty of Zurich cosas
hdli'-that the reply was, that Austria had neither
the will nor the means to undertake new Campaign
In Italy-that If France refused to reestabsh the
legitimate sOyereiCns Austria would limit herself TO
entering a protest against this injustice. This
caused very general satisfaction to the government
and populations of Central Italy. To-day, how
ever, the telegraph has brought us the following
announcement, from the official Gazette of Vienna
80 The assertion in The Times, that Austria has
" declared herself to have no intention of interfering
Gin Central Italy, is devoid Of foundation. The
question never having been put to Austria, she
can have made no such reply" From private
intelligence hear that the utmost activity is shown
at the present moment on the railways from Trent
to Verona, and from Vienna to Nabresina-that
considerable forces are on their way to Italy; while
rumOr asserts that the vanguard of body OF 10000
Croats is already dsembarked at Venice. The
emigration from this unhappy province continues in
greater numbers than ever, spite Of the precau-
lions adopted by the police All the youth Of the
country, fearful of Austrian cOnscriptOn is 0cklDg
to the standards of the army OF Central Italy, whose
numbers already amount to more than GU, 600 men.
1t is said, know not with what truth that Fanti
is TO receive the portfolio of the Minister of War at
Turin, and that his place as Commander of the
Forces of the League is to be taken by Cialdini.
Nothing can exceed the eagerness displayed by all
ranks and classes to put Central Italy in a
posture of defense; the foundery Of Parma
is already at work, and we shall soon
have several additional batteries of rihed
cannon. The Town of PiaceDza Is to send thither
the ancient bell of the municipal palace, weighing
1900 pounds. Never, from the first moment of
the Revolution, have matters been carried on with
so much spirit and energy up to the end of last
year there was lack of that confidence which
shapes the future to its will; not that any nerven
ton could have taken place without an appeal to
arms but Central Italy knew that in the event
of France taking active part against her, she had
nothing to hope but to seal her convictions with her
blood Now all is changed. The pamphlet and
the Emperor's letter TO the Pope the renewed
E'entente" between England aud France, the decla-
ration in The Morning Post and The Times, the
commercial treaty between England and France,
and above all the return of CavOur to power. have
shown Italy that her fate is nov indeed in her own
hands She has proved too what CavOur in his speech
before the Chambers Of Deputies in Jan 1855, said
was necessary to raise her reputation, that the
people of the world, rulers and ruled, might be
compelled 10 do her justice: First, that she has
sufficient sense and moderation to sustain free
institutions, TO adopt the most perfect known
Vi ROftIbtutuls gotcODuiy, ludl INC
''yaOr of her people is equal to that of their fore
fathers"
The refusal of England to guarantee to the Pope
the remainder Of the Papa possessions was received
with every expression of satisfaction. On this point
there is an absence of that identity of views which
in other respects is remarkable in the celebrated
pamphlet and the EmperOr's letter of the 3lst De-
cember. In the latter, the sacrifice of the revOed
PROVINCES alone is demanded of the Pope, whereas
the former seems disposed to take from the Roman
Government the Marches and Umbria, as well as
the RomagDa, and to restrict the domain OF the
Holy See to the single City of Rome and its Terri
tory. Is the motto :" STINT ut stunt aut non STINT
still TO be the principle of Papal policy or will
she give ear to the dsinterested councils OF France
and generously yielding that which she can no
longer retain endeavOr by liberal concessions in
accordance with the spirit of the age to preserve
that which has not yet slipped from her grasp
How happily did the Imperial letter contrast with
the alocutlOn of the Pope. Surely no address from
the throne was ever so characterized by
"L'esprit de vestiEe ct d'ereur 49,
De Ia chute des vols funeste ayant conreur =
Could ANYTHING SAVIOR less of princey dignity or
more of helpless imbeclityl 1t was the " iorse no
4roppo dettoi ('perhaps / said too much } with
which the Holy Father sought to palhate the feeble
outpouings of his infable mind.
