an a common bond of loss and suffering.
In such times people are always disposed 10
charge their troubles upon the Government, whether
deservedly or uudeservedly. and in this case they
have foo much reason for their complaints.
Any public demonstration of their dissatisfaction
is of course suppressed, but there are plenty OF
straws in the air TO show which way the WIND Is
Allowing. For the last few days there have been
numerous robberes in open daylight, in some OF the
most freou, nted parts Of the city. The circum-
stances Of one Of these 1 had from an intimate
friend of the loser. lie was coming out of by

sympathy or assistance. As last resort he tired
to lead the robber through BY street to police

Now to show the tgard the common people have
for the Government, they account for these ROD
berries by ssying that Antonelh has released some
desperate villains since the Carnival on purpose TO
injure honest citizens; ano charge all the thefts ana
rObberies which are the natural result of state
of want in the community to the malice OF tn
Chief Councillor of State. The hatred for this
Cardinal is deep and sincere, and nothing is more
common than for an Italian, in conversation, tOldl'

for highway robbery aud murder and close with an
expressive shrug, intended to shOw--what il nigh

During walk from Florence 10 Rome recently,
in which had an opportunity of cOnversing with
all classes of people, l never met with one that ex-
pressed any enthusiasm for the temporal power of
the Pope; and in almost every case there was ex.
pressed the strongest Opp0s ton TO it. In Prugla,
the people have still fresh in their remembrance
the slaughter Of their citizens year ago, and which
the appearance of two thousand German troops in
their midst and those the very ones who sacked
the city, would not permit them to forget.
The troops themselves were for from being
cOntented. il one may Judge from two parties Of
deserters we met upon the road from Florence,
upon two several days, escorted, apparently for
their protection, by small body Of Italians.
Within the last few days rumor has reached US
that BODY OF men were collecting on the Tuscan
frontier for an attack on Perugia. only wish this
was true. With the cooperation Of the citizens,
and the dissatisfaction of the soldiers, which we
learn from well-informed sources is very great, il
would not require large body of assaants to cap

II hos also been currently reported that an at
tempt had been made upon the life Of the Emperor
Napoleon, and upon Victor Emanuel and Garibaldl,
but all three UNNECESSARILY. The instrument in each

around each other like mlll-wheel. The people
have not forgotten the manner in which the tempo

in 40 nor the blood they split in their defense, nor
the fnes and banishmepts that followed; and they
pant Tor an hour when tley may take the rlghtlng
of their affairs in their own hands. In the mean
time they content themselves with rumors and

Int when the time comes for them to act they WI
do something more manly than circulate idle
reports.
