PARTICIPATION OF ITALY IN TIE MRXI.
CAIN WAR. :
Correspondence OF the London star]
Hitherto I have RETAINED from comment
upon the projected participation Of the Italian
army in the Mexican war, but q letter received
this morning from Turin, witten By an iadl.
Siona1 well mp IN ministerial secrets, 1esYes
little doubt on my mind that 1t Is the inten-
ton OF Rstanzd TO carry this extraordinary
project into execution. Already the amoiRu-
ou8 answer given to Mnesart had aroused the
suspicious OF the Chamber and the Ire Of the
liberal press. You VIII remember the words
Of Ratazzi: 1The question has not been dis
cussed in the Cabinet. Should the discussion
arise, the Chamber msy rest assured that such
decision will be taken as the welfare Of: the
country may demand"
Perhaps on the 18th Of June the question had
not been formally discussed by ali the minis
ters, but now that discussion has taken place,
and has given rise to violent discussions which
may End in tie overthrow Of the ministry, or
perhaps merely In the resignation Of Dspretis
and Two olher membef5- II one may Judge
from the presen state Of public opinion, tue
nation viii protest as one mau-frst, against
the folly Of sending out Of the country italian
soldiers with the Austrians at our gates In the
North. Naples again threatened with brigand-
age, and the French at Rome; secondly against
the ain of the Italians, while demanding the
sYmpathy OF Europe for their own struggles
1or LIBERTY and Independence, fighting against
the liberty Of another country, which has In
no way offended or molested them.
Ut this you may be certain: GaribR1di and
his followers will do their utmost to prevent
such q catastrupe.
The indirect propositions made to the Ital-
ian government are these: to send italian
troops to Mexico, to be present at the plebis-
cite: assurances that France does not intend
should they prefer that form of government
10 .the republic, and should they choose 81
their monarch the Austrian Archdnke Maxim;-
lian, then Venice would be restored to Italy,
without the loss of life md treasure which .
stand-up fight for 1t would entail.
