ROME

The Courier des Etats els, DEMOCRATIC
paper, as regards Americanaffairs, but Bona
psrtist in its views of Frenc politics, has the
following observations on he relations of
Franco and Italy.
After speaking of the prort of an invasion
of the imperial city by GARllLDI, and of the
ELOQUENT letter on the same ubject, recently
published, by tho Bshop of Onans, NJ nun>A=
Loup, it goes on to say; We WI MT speak OF
Rome from religious point Of view for we
are not of those who take plesur in the con-
temptation of the decadenceof Catholicism
We do not thing the fall Of a lossus c mt SUD-
iect for merriment. From apolitical stand
point, one consideration only ucerns u.s. ana
that is to inquire whether it in accordance
with the honor and the interss of France, IN
view of surrounding circumstsces, that Rome
should remain in the hands oPIUs TX. This
question we have no hesitatiom answering IN
the affirmative. France, whiolfor good or for
owl, s;oned the Convention tSeptember Is,
must remain true to her comlct. She must,
more eover, in the light Of probsh eventualities,
assur re herself foothold in ItS. That coun-
trv has shown such ingratitude eovard us, that
VIC may be pardoned if we diAust her inten-
tions. Who know, what partle would take
in ca be of war between Francand Prussia ?
Is not GAn1BALpI aided by u gold of Bis
mARcK! C9
European papers advice us tt the Italian
cabinet oontemplates recalling Mora, who
has long represented Italy Paris. " 1t is
thoug ght he has too much Gaul his compost
ton, and successor is spokenf, whose pre-
dilections are Of an opposite nracter. 1t is
said, moreover, that NJ. RArAzzsill demand as
tho prize of a French Italian aance, the an
nexation of Rome to the Kingde Of Italy, and
the annulment of the Conventiaof September.
This proposition is, however, ,rtain Of re-.
fusal.
The project of GxRrBALDI is inopportune,
and 90 prejudicial to all the intests of France
that even the Democratic journs Of Paris dis
couptenance it. EOpinion Nataale deprecates
the short-sighted policy Of the ko Of Marsala;
and NJ. GuEnouLT, "who eats riests with as
much gusto as an editor of, lie ale," says that
NJ. CAvoun told him one day tit "GARIDAID1
never had two ideas in. his .ead," This i'
quite true, GARIBALD1 is only apable of hav-
ing one fixed idea, but this iprscisely the
secret of his strength. Like children, who
always obtain what they desirsp dint of per-
sisting in the same demand, GABALDI gener-
ally attains his end. If be. wa less narrow
minded, if he was susceptible dcomple1 con-
ceptions, his successes would lrhaps be less
brilliant; and his popularity, @ch is bound
less in Italy, would certainly I've been much
less.
This time, however, if it is ideed certain,
that GARIBALDI is about to man on Rome, we
believe he will hit snag [lital Mississippi
translation Of il Sc toaruoisra] ; he did at AS
promonte. France is bound nbnor 10 uphold
the September Convention, andt would not be
the first time that GAnlBALDI wald find France
stumbling block in his way.
We desire to be distinctly Merstood, that
We are not now saying that thisaid September
Convention was wise act; norlo we wish to
be numbered with the advocats of either the
mildness or the necessity ofhe theocaatic
power, or.of the infalibility ofhe Pope, etc.,
etc. The Courier des Etats UNI on all these
points has long since given iddeclaratiou Of
faith. We simply hold that Frace has affixed
her signature to a.bill of ezcAnge, and she
must honor it, cost what it maj even though
Italy, the other party to the empsct, should
altogether fail in complying viii her engage
ments.
