That the Roman people. if left alore, would

be doubted. A hgh.mnded French writer,
d'Ilaussonylle, whose sympath.cs are with the
Pope, makes some remarkable statements on this
point. Having recently returned from tour

The French Government was fully aware Of
this unanmty Of the Italian people with re-
gard to the Roman question. IL knew that
Victor Emanuel would not dare TO oppose the
demand Of the people for the incorporation of
Rome with Italy. and that in case OF con
tnued refusal of France to withdraw hor
troops irom Rome, Victor Emanuel would
have been compelled to back the demand by the
entire armed force Of Italy. A longer occupa-
ton Of Rome by France would lead most probably
not only to an intense hatred Of Italy toward
France, but to desperate war between the
two countries. In such u war, az the attitude
OF the French press shows, the Emperor would
have only the sympatbes Of the Catholic party,
while the Republicans, the Orleanists, aud even
the bulk Of the Old Bonapartist party, would
not have concealed their sympathy with the
cause Of the Italian people. At such june
lure, the Count Of Paris, whose chief organ,
he Journal des DeL0ts, is very earnest in the
advocacy of the Italian cause, and who il
ooked upon by the French Liberals in general
As the representative of a more LIBERAL policy
