news OF the change OF the italian Ministry
reached us, that the Influence Of Franco In Italy
was on the wane Information just received
fully corroborates our opinion.
The Italian government has respectfully but
firmly refused further negotiations with France
respecting the Roman question at present. This
means that Italy will take into her own hands
the settlement Of that affair. M. dc Sartiges,
the French Minister at Turin, broached the
subject Of Rome to the President OF the
Italian Council The latter replied that
the present policy of France rendered
quite improbable that any further nego-
tations should succeed. In Paris the Che-
Waller Nigra, Italian Ambassador at the Court
of France, has made a like statement to the
French Minister of Foreign Affairs, NJ Drouyn
de Lhuys. All this forebodes no good to the
rule of Napoleon. 1t is plain the Italians have
at last come to the determination to act for them
selves In furthcrance Of their grand scheme for
unity and power. Will France give way, or will
she continue to stand athwart Italys path
The question is fraught with interest to all the
world.
We are inclined to doubt the ability Of Napo-
leon to check this onward movement Of the
Italians, even were he ever so much inclined to
do So Still, he may attempt this, pushed on
as he is by the over zeal Of the Empress in favor
Of the Pope. But the result Of such policy
would be disastrous to him--would make Italy
his deadly enemy-and he cannot afford TO add
to the number of his foes. He has upon his
hands starving population and an unsuccess-
ful war. He knows that the people must and
will have relief sense Of danger will prevent
bis remaining in q hostile attitude towards
Italy, the more 90 as he Is well aware that
England is doing all in her power to gain over
to herself the friendship OF that people, whom
he will soon be called upon to modest no longer
or to be at open war with. These are weghty
considerations, and are likely to prevail against
the Emperor's natural desire to carry out a long
cherished policy, as we'll as his disposition to
follow the suggestions Of his spouse, who is be-
coming 50 determined defender Of the Pope.
The probabilities are that Napoleon will give
way to the necessities Of his position, and that
italy will soon find herself untxemmellsd by his
false friendship, his hateful alliances. She will
then at once assume her stand among the great
and powerful nations Of the world. In this coun-
try Italy has full and unbounded sympathy in
her onward career We shall hail with pleasure
her delverance from the interference Of the EN-
peror Of France.
