Napoleon would exercise his right of dssolvng the
Legislative This would have been equivalent to
declaration of open war between Government on
one side, and the Church party, with its auxiaries,
on the ether. In such case, Napoleon must frankly
accept the liberals as his auxillaries in cleo
ton; the result Of which would be the immediate
defeat Of the Church party, and the forced capitu
lation and ultimate defeat of pure NapoleOnism.
Dilemma being Offset against dilemma the retro
grades yielded and withdrew their amendment
And 50 the great Debates on the Address in the
two French Chambers are closed Their chiefest
significance for France is the absolute proof they
have furnished, after ten years iorcbe suppression,
of what may be called her parliamentary vitality.
Some proof too they furnished Of French viyaciiy
running into noisy, chaotic confusion Of excited
voices, hardly surpassed by the tumus Of our model
Republics Congressional rows; though at its worst,
however, never sinking 70 vocal or muscular black
guardSm. Nor have rhetorical cleyerness and bril-
lance been the most eminent features of these de-
bates. The speeches Of the Government Ministers
and OF many Of their opponents have been marked
by dignity of form and solidity Of argument which
the orators of English Parliament, American Con-
gress, or Belgian Chambers might study with
benefit
Although the final vote on the Address LED every
thing to the wisdom of the Emperor, the minimum
vote of FIVE, for advising the Withdrawal OF the
French troops from Rome. and the vote OF ninety,
for continuing indefinitely the armed protection OF
the Prize Kings temporal sovereignty, were inter
preted by many OF All parties as tending to bind or
sustain Napoleon in an authoritarian Italian policy
But friends of right and national independence
have little TO fear. Italy is out of swaddhng
clothes. free Of leading strings "hGii0 tdra da
Sc" has already come 10 speak with clearest enun-
citation. Your correspondent learned some years
ago and somewhat against his VIII, to recognize
the great statesmanlike ability anu the nice poll
tican's astuteuess of Louis Napoleon, and finds no
reason now TO change his unwilling opinion in that
regard. But as bold in action, as broad in view, as
acute in vision, rs wise, prudent shrewd, cunning,
is Count CayOur. Witness the text of the res0u-
ton OF bis proposing, passed by an overwhelming
majority last Monday in the Italian Parla-
ment: The Chamber proclaims Rome the
"captal of Italy one and ndiy!slble; II re-
"qucsts the Government to obtain from Napoleon
oil. the retrcHt OF the French troops from
Rome. II is for your Turin correspondent to
enlarge upon this significant text But very no.
tcea6,e to your Paris reporter is the significant
fact that CayOur's brief cOsey-argucd advocacy Of
this resolution was repubshef entire two days ago
in the official luoHiteur.
Very helpful in French minds 10 this argument
is the "Allocution of king Plus uttered in couss
tory at Rome, on the 18th of March. The French
Government arrested the publication Of this Allocu-
maly secured by terms OF tho COncordat, of con-
trolling publication in France Of Romish poitco-
religious documents. Government had Us hei it be
published as not. Al government and all liberal
newspapers have now published 1t most prominent

two essential branches Of the one idea OF this

To nsk the Prest-K King 10 reform, az Napoleon
and others have done is foolish, unless the Priest
King chose 10 sign thereby his own abdicaiion.
This asking of the nfalibe Priest King 10 confess
that be has been woiuly bad administrator is like
asking the Prest-Sultan 10 confess that be- has been
woiully bad administrator. There Is no help for
Turkey or Rome until the Sultan and Pope cease 10

Kinchood must be stndered. To AK the Sultan 10
be equally Just TO the faithful and iIfdel subj OF

themselves to commit suicide for the sake OF pro-

Rumor is rife in these last few days OF inevitably
imminent Austro-ltalan armed conflict. Funds
have sunk at the bourse in consequence. TAX has
grown of French preparation for war, IN conse-
auence of special activity in the arsenals and OF re-

between Italy and Austria is imminent, it's immedi
