AGITATION FOR L1HEkAL REFORMsIyFR FRANCE
Another point that engages the serious at
tention OF the French Government Is, The cry
for liberal reform. The clerical and Legitl-
mist party have published at Eantx pam
trailxation, municipal liberties, and more iu-
dependence from Paris. As the government
did not suppress the pamphlet, The press took
hold Of the subject aud le It,aps, Ia France and
other influential pal,ers went SO far rs to. de-
clare that on the 18th day Of October next,
the anniversary Of the great battle, Of Jena,

edition, came ont officially declaring that all
the rnmors about changes Of men aud princf-

but malicious attack On the Government.
This word *'rnaiictous" is an earnest warning,
given by Napoleon to the asilatinE parties :;

ITALY AND TIE roon OLD rorE.
Besides these Important questions, there Is
the ltalian one, biz with the greatest difficult
ties. The time Is drawing near when, accord

But unfortunately the relations betTea

And now to increase the diillcnliiez, the

Of the latter had recently to be dismissed for
being very unpopular and the King, in order
TO rtmorc all suspicion, had to fl the yacan-
cies with men OF more liberal ideas and more
dt1nncss ofactlon. Natoli, the new Secretary
Of the Interior, has now published his pro-
gramme, and tie more it pleases and satisfies
the claims of the Liberals, the more It arouses
the ire and indignation Of Rome and the cleEi-
cal party. He says to the e1ectora: "Look
to principles, and not to men," He permits
the numerous officials to cast their vote

TIE PRIESTS OF TUE ITALIAN PENINSULA,
To show that the government speaks in

the small peninsula, numbers So arch bishops,

Roman bishops, honorary arch-bishops,

willing to reduce the number, and to use their
immense revenues, at least partly, for charI-
table ind educational purposes. The clergy
has also liz schools, With VI, 900 pupils, IN

THE ITALIAN ELECTIONS.
This clectionecrtng programme OF the Ita1-
Ian Cabinet, Of course, causes great dissatis-
faction and uneasiness In Rome; yet the Cab
met must recommend and adopt such meas:
whelning defeat at the impending elections.
But beside these important questions, Maz-
