THE COMPLETE RESTORATION OF
TTAIIAN NATIONALITY.

deliver over TO Napoleon, as urana 'ie~t'
the States Of the Church, almost the whole
of which have been practically annexed to
Italy for the last few years, but when
transfer the Pope has never yet recognized
an annexation which France at first disa-
vowed, and has, it would seem, recognized
rather as a thing de faeto than de J"re.
He, of course, will in that case make over
the Pope's right and title to those States
TO Victor Emmanuel, as it is also proposed
and understood he will do with Venetia'
This. with the exception Of Rome, will re-

one thousand years, and it will be Napo-

undoing the work Of Pepin. The Italian
kingdom will now comprise some 26,OOO,-
900 souls, and will seem to W the largest
share Of this prosperity to the French
Emperor, who. in return for the alliance
Of Victor Emmanuel in the Crimean war,
honestly and earnestly at first pushed the
fortunes of Victor Emmanuel, whose do
main lay almost at the mercy Of Austria.
1t is asserted that the French troops will
be Withdrawn from Civita Vecchia next
month.
The part which Napoleon takes in all
these movements is rather nominal than
real. As the Vicar General of the Pope,
he may give away Italy, just as some re-
spectacle old relative is called upon to
give away the bride at a wedding Of cere-
mony, after the whole affair has been set
tied by the principals, in order to fatter
his vanity, and induce him, perhaps, to
remember them in his will.
Just now the French Emperor is a sort
of receiver general for the bankrupt ma
tons who are going into liquidation.
Bankrupts Away like to pick out if they
can, a man Of tact and g~entleness as as
signee-one who will spare their feelings
as much as possible with kind and dis
Greet phrases Of sympathy, while he does
what is inevitable in the course Of events.
What Brown is to a Grace Church marri-
age or funeral in New York, Napoleon is
becoming 10 the funerals Of deceased ma
tionalities Of Europe.
A few months ago, there was in one Of
Dickens Christmas stories the tale Of a
French physician in Paris, who, during
revolutionary times, when suicides were
frequent, grew suddenly rich, but no one
could tell how. His house appeared to be
the seat Of the most elegant and refined
hospitality fountains played, wine spark
led, music enchanted, but for some reason
his guests only dined with him once, and
then were never more heard Of. In fact,
when q gentleman or lady wished TO COM
nit suicide, they had only to give him a
hint of it and a sufficient douceur, and he
would make the passage to the tomb for
them as easy and graceful as possible. An
invitation 70 one Of his dinner parties was
all that was necessary, and all was so GER
tain, agreeable and eficacious, that Death
was fairly robbed OF his terrors.
Old and decrepid States have a, times
found i, most wise and agreeable to put
themselves out Of existence, and it is in
assisting all such parties to consummate
their desires gracefully that Napoleon, as
host, shines. He gives each one a splen-
did banquet, and seems to eat with them
and enjoy himself like the rest, but some
how he survives, and they are heard Of no
more. Just now, the young Emperor Of
Austria, after declining his FIRST invitation,
suddenly sought his assistance for Vene-
TIA, and now it is asserted that his aid will
be required for the states Of the Church.
At first he was timorous and slow, and
his guests fingered, as in the case Of Tur.
key. Once the medicines absolutely fail
ed. as in Mexico. And now the King OF
Prussia has adopted a more vigorous
method of sweeping away those who
ought to wish to die. Yet his processes
are so rude that Napoleon has still to be
called in, and even claims at times his
fees where he simply prescribes that the
patient be left TO the course Of nature and
the treatment of his Prussian brother.
Sometimes, in mere generosity. Napoleon
will volunteer his amiable services with
out mention of fee or reward. He did
this to the United States a few years ago,
but his offices were declined. Generally,
however, his fees, though delicately al
luded to. give him a substantial remunera-
ton. Indeed, it was but the other day
that the rec,ifcation Of accounts between
him and Prussia was likely to bring them
into difficulties, and curious revelations
were expected. 1t is even said that the
Prussian King, after having refused his
account, is now about really to concede
all tina. Napoleon demanded, and that
Luxembourg and a new line Of boundary
are to be the price for helping to their fate
