what would be rather fine priestly eOquence if
dated two hundred years back. An answer to the

pnounced-another pamphlet. 1t rains pamphlets
this year. Dentu, alone, has published within
the year no less than fortythree, all bearing more
or less directly on Italian matters.
The notion tending 10 become prevalent one
here. is that Austria herself will not insist very
sirenuously in the Congress on the restOraton OF
The abrcondipg Dukes. It'll said that the plan OF a
Central Italian Kingdom, Of which Tuscany shall
form the main body, is favored by Napoleon, that
an attempt will be made to affx or append In some
way to this kingdom, the Romagna and possibly
Vcnetia as a sort of Vicariaes Then there is talk
of the most uuauthortatve SORT TO the effect
that Austria would be ready TO dispose Of Venetia
for moderate consideration, though no ono tells
where the pecuniary quid pro quo is to come from;
the notion Of purchase money being raised for that
end by popular liberal subscription being patiently
insane. The argument that Austria would be viii
lngly rid Of Venea, that she might concentrate her
repressive energies on Hungary and Transylyania,
is not sound. She needs italian troops to garrison
Hungary as she uses German and Hungarian troops
10 garrison Yenetia. Francis Joseph has undoubt-
eds much larger farm than he can manage with

Tim; but it is made up of outside lots. Let Vene-

understanding this tlme and with admirable pru-
dence. Immediate open revolution is not probable.
