the Church, and, assuredly, among the potent rea-
sons which induced me to conclude peace so
promptly, you must reckon the fear of seeing the
revolution assume daily increasing dimensions.
Facts have an memorable logic; and, despite my
devotion to the Holy See, despite the presence of
my troops at Rome, | could not avoid certain
amount of connection with the results of the
tiona movement caused in Italy by the struggle
against Austria.
As soon as peace was concluded, fastened to
write to your Holiness to submit to you the views
which considered best suited to lead to the pacif-
cation of the Romagna, and | still entertain the
opinion that if your Holiness had from that time
consented to administrative separation of those
Provinces, and to the nomination of lay Cover
nor, they would have returned to your rule. I'm
happily, this was not the case, and found myself
powerless to prevent the establishment of the new
Government. My endeavors only succeeded in
preventing spread of the insurrection, and the
resignation of Garibaldi preserved the Marches of
Ancona from certain INVASION
Now the Congress is about to assemble, the Pow
ers cannot disown the incontestible right of the
Holy See to the Legations; nevertheless, it is pro-
bable that they will not be of opinion that you
should have recourse to force to subject them. For
if that subsection were obtained by the aid of
foreign troops it would imply the military occupa
ton of the Legations for a long time. This occu-
patton would keep alive the hatreds and resent
ments of q great portion of the Italian people,
also the jealousy of the Great Powers; this would
be, then, to perpetuate state of irritation, dis
trust, and fear

uncertainty cannot last for ever? After serious
consideration of the difficulties and dangers which
the different combinations present, say it with
sincere regret, and painful as the conclusion may
be, that the solution which appears to me most
conformable to the true interests OF the Holy See
will be to surrender the revolted provinces If the
Holy Father, for the sake of the peace of Europe,
should give up these provinces, which for 80 years
have been graut embarrassment to his Govern
ment and if in exchange, he should request the
great Powers to guarantee to him the possession of
the remainder, do not doubt of the immediate re-
storation of tranquility. Then the Holy Father
would insure to grateful Italy peace for many
years. and to the Holy See the peaceful possession
of the States of the Church.

COUNT CAy0URs RETURN TO OFFICE.
| From the Times
Count Cavour returns to power at momsn
when France and England are united to recognize
the Central Italian State, and when the Pope show
that he has lost all hope of caioling the Frencl
Ruler by the manner in which he inveghs agains
his almost acknowledged acts. It's but fair to pre-
sqme that this important step has not been takel
without due consideration, and that it has the ac
quescence Of the French Government. What opin
ion must we, then, form of the consequence of thi
change? It's evident that it is the sigma for nGr
decided action the part of Victor Emmanuel
and the direction of this action can scarcely b.
doubted. Sardinia must be destined to have
more immediate influence in Central Italy than has
been yet allowed her. Count Cavour would hard

doned power because his cherished hopes of Italian
independence under the leadership ofhs country hat
been crushed for the time, AID he can hardly taxi
once more the reins of government without some
assurance that Piedmontese policy shall again h

Whether his appointment be the result of d.
rect understanding that Victor Emmanuel shall
finally accept the sovereignty of Central Italy fe

best solution of the question: for, though there
are no doubt, jealouses between Italian provinces

existed between the three kingdoms of these island

rule Of constitutional Sovereign, avoiding al
undue centrasation. would in the end satisfy both
