A portion of the Europesn Press regarding with M
eve Of dsavor the vast material progress Of France With
10 the past years. and striving TO attribute the change
in her position and influence among the nations TO otheI
than It's real causes is in the habit OF charging Napoleon
III with "doubls dealing" With more frequency and
more ppancy than ever has this accnsatonwhose true
meaning is "treachery-been repeated since the most
recent phases Of the Italian Question. Never perhaps
has more signal proof been offered OF the truth oi
AKIN that extremes meet" than in the bitter recrim
inations of the ultra Roman Catholics, who lay at toe
Emperors door the destruction Of the Pontltea army
aud the no less ervent denuneiatOns OF sundy English
iournas relative to the supposed interference oil the
French Admiral in the Mediterranean, TO prevent the
bombariment of Gaeta by the Sandman tee The peo-
pie Of America who anxiousy watching the progress
Of Italian emancipation and who can extmlne with nn
partaty the policy of Napoleon H. will be gatied to
note how utterly without foundation have been these
charges in the sense placed upon them Standing IN the
position Of the Popes defender at Rome, the Emperor
could do no less than signify 10 Victor Emmannel his dis
appreciation OF the Kings in invading the Papa
territory Upon the basis Of this moral censure the
Roman Government instantly pretends to take 1t Tor
granted that France prepared to declare war on Sard

No dispassionate mind can for one moment suppose
that France would be injured by the uniicaton Of Italy,
that the Emperor Napoleon is animated by any other
desire than to see the hopes OF the Italian people crown

not because she will France debt Of graude-ior

such an alliance will be materially beneficial to both

There has been much talk in the last few days. OF the
