TIA LIZ.

The parliamentary elections which have just
taken place in Italy have resulted in a con-
cradle gain to the Liberal party, and a crush
ing defeat to that party which sustains the
pretensions of the Catholic church. The lat
erhad made hercnlean efforts to secure the
return of their candidates, but the returns, SO
far as they are yet received, show only elect
ed. Some districts yet to be further heard
from may carry this number up to ten OF
twelve, but can hardly rise above that The
whole number of members is IA, and mere
glance at the figures is therefore sufficient to
exhibit the weakness of this party, and its
small influence among the voting population.
When we consider that the evacuation of
Rome by the French army has actually com
menced, and the important changes which
must take place in the aspects of political and
religious affairs in consequence, these facts be-
come deeply interesting

England and the United states

The Boston Traccl'er, a leading Re
publican paper, commenting on the recent
ly published diplomatic correspondence,
says:
'As matters stand, the business has an
ugly look, and evil may come from it; but
there would be something so transccudent-
ly foolish IN allowing it to proceed to the
arbitrament of war, that we cannot sup
pose that some mode will not be hit upon
to prevent wars occurrence. To Us it
seems that eur demand is sound, but it is
not always good policy to press even the
s0undest demand at times. : =
In this instance the state of our finance
forbids action that would lead To war no
matter how good is our demand. The time
may come when we shall be able to press
the demand with effect, aud without dan
ger; but now we need peace, and ought to
be determined TO have it. Nothing short
of the maintenance Of our existence or our
honor should lead US to take ur arms for
years. As to our existence. We have thor
oughly vindicatcd that, and no nation is
disposed TO assail Us; and as to our honor,
we have but too recently exhibited our
power to permit any one to attribute pres
ent forbearance to other than prudential
motives The late war ought to have this
effect. that it has demonstrated our cs,pac>
ity to fght,-and that should be sufficient
TO warrant the continuation Of peace, if
not forever, at least until We shall have
reduced the interest on our debt to lower
rates than we pay at present, which are
enormous, and such as no country SO rich
rs ours, and 50 famous for good faith,
should pay for one month longer than it is
forced to pay them because Of the plight
ing Of It's word to creditors But if we
were to 90 to war with England now, or
soon. we should double our debt, and at
the same time lessen our ability to pay it.
There has been enough bloodshed and
eollshcd to satisfy the most bloodthirsty
and extrayagant of men, aud there ought
to be no more expe lditurc Of the kind
We say not this because Of any regard for
Eugland No warhawk in the land cares
less f,r that egotistcal country than we care
for il: and England might sink into the
four seas, without our being moved by
her dSa 2pcarance. But We care a great
deal about ourselves. and as we believe
that interest and principle both dictate
the preservation of peace we trust that
nothing will be done to break it; and we
are the mere anxious that there should be
no quarrel with England. because We be
lieye that France would back England
with all its force should there be such
quarrel, and its decision be remittcd TO
great fleets and strong battallions."
