The City Of Baltimore brings us the procla
nation Of Victor Emanuel to the people of the
Two Sicilies and Garibaldi's farewell to the
army. 1t will be seen that the latter regards
the separation as only temporary, as indeed
every one must feel it to be- The independence
of Italy is but half worked OUT, and worse OBJ
staoes than any that have hitherto opposed its
contamination have yet to be surmounted.
Garibaldis present withdrawal from the
scene Is, however, wise move on the
part OF the Italian patriots. Nothing will
tend more to discomfort and emb arr ass
the plans of the French Emperor. There
can be no doubt, from his recent addi
tons TO his troops in Rome and its neighbor
hood, that be speculated on the fulGlment of the
Dictator's pledge to proclaim Victor Emanuel
King of Italy from the Quirinal. Had the at

Blu. Italy must, sooner or later, have Rome
of which her new kingdom is composed, 1t is
the only city that can assert and maintain an
imperial rank. The jealousies that would be
inspired by the selection Of Turin, Florence or
Naples would result In controversies which
would ultimately take the form of sectional
country. All the Italian populations would
willingly acknowledge the title of the Eternal
City to metropolitan rank. The possession of
Rome is, therefore, both as q matter of senti-
ment and convenience, a strong necessity to the
new kingdom.
There are, however, some serious obstacles
to its attainment. The future territorial
status of the Pspacy has to be settled, and

In the meanwhile, though they may be de-
barred from fixing the sea. of government
within the walls Of the Eternal City, there Is
nothing 10 prevent them building new Rome
in Its neighborhood. AT various periods of
Italian history, from political and other causes,
this was contemplated. The site Of the old city
Ia anything but salubrious, and II would be
az well that this fact should be taken into con
sderation In the selection Of capital for the
new kingdom. There Is within few miles of
Rome, just beyond the Campagna, and forming
the FIRST rising slope OF the Alban Hills,
an admirable site for new capital
the Campo di Annibale. 1t ia one Of the
healthiest spots around Rome, and Is favorite
resort for invalids when affected by the miasma
of the marshes. Here the Italian capital could
be built under the old imperial designation,
whilst the ancient city might be left to the
Pope % . sort Of Barnum's Museum, with
privilege TO levy toll upon sightseers by way
Of revenue.
There may never be occasion. however for
the realization Of these speculations The vote
Of the Romans may be allowed to decide
the Papal question. The principle established
In favor Of the rest Of Italy cannot be decently
violated in their regard. The right Of popular
election has received the solemn sanction Of
the world. France inaugurated II In the choice
of Der Emperor; Italy has consecrated II by her
blood. and England has confirmed 1t by her de-
clarations. In the presence Of such facts the
opposition of the desPotic governments avails
nothing. by their inaction they passively
admit the force Of the new doctrine
