OUR PARIS CORRESPONDENCE.
The Itnlinn Question.
From Our Own Correspondent

PARIS Aug 3D. l#I.
The following note was sent by the Emperor from
the camp at Chalons and printed in the Moniteur Of
Monday last: "The Journals have been for some
days asking what will be the attitude Of the French
Government in view Of the agitation in Italy. The
question 10 80 clear that doubt would seem imposs-
ble In face of insolent threats in face Of the pofs
bic consequences of a demsgogic insurrecton, the
duty Of the French Government and it's military
honor force il more than ever to defend the Holy
Father. The world ought surely to know that
France does not abandon in their danger those over
whom she extends her protection" This, rs you
see ID no answer to the question which not only me
journals but the peopl0 Of France and Italy, and
indeed, of all Europe, have been asking for some
DAYS and are still asking as snxou,ly as ever. No
one asked whether Napceon's troops would retire
from Rome as Franciss troops retired from Naples
at the approach Of Garibsldi. The Imperial note IL
an equiyoque, not an answer. What II omits IA no.
ticed as much % what it says: there is no word OF
sympathy for the King of Italy in his present
troubles not a hint that when they are over the
fertile germ Of future troubles, the French garrison
at Rome, shall be withdrawn. Ultramontane inter-
prefers of il pretend TO be delighted, and really are
much nearer content with it than the friends Of
Italy, who earnestly call for a second note TO ex-
plain the first.

The ttrife between France and Germany for ELL
premacy In Italy dates from the beginning Of North
em European history. Rome was occupied in 1919
TO prevent Austrian occupation and suppress reyoln-
ton. The Italian campaign OF 1853 was catered
upon in continuation OF like policy. Napoleon
was clinging to Is hope-some shTeds Of which he
may still hold tO-that his r0IumHs would prevail
over AntOnelli non postHmus, and force an admin
istratiye reform upon the latter that would equally
deprive Austria aud Revolution Of their beat pfetext
for immediate action. The rect could be left 10
time. His master In statesInansiip, Cavour, aided
BY Austrian aud Roman obstinacy, succeeded
in persuading HIM that Revolution would not wait
