TIE RnM1N RETOLUTTON

The threats of France have obtained the de-
sired object. The Italian Government, after
hesitating a while whether to stand up firmly
for the outraged honor of the nation or cow
ardly to acknowledge the supremacy of France,
has chosen the Latter course. 1t has given
TO Louis Napoleon positive pledges that
the people of the Papal States shall be Kept sub
iect to the Temporal Power, though they should
unanimously protest against it; that the ltalan
unity shall not be cOnsummated, and all the
commands of France shall be faithfully exc
euted Thus the hopes of the patriots have Tor
the present been dashed to pieces, and, finding
it impossible to continue their present enter
prise in view of the unlOoked-for attitude OF
the Government, the insurgent forces nave
evacuated the Papal territory.
For the present the Roman revolution seems
to be at an end, but the idea of establishing
the national unity of Italy is not on that ac-
count abandoned. We shall soon hear of another
plan of campaign. The present Government
has cruelty disappointed the Party of Action.
Garibadi and his friends thought that the
Government, in its servility toward France,
would not do more than required to do
by the September Convention, and that,
in the case of an instruction In the
Papal States, the Government itself would OBJ
serve neutral position, and would keep Oil
the Intervention of other powers. The King ana
Ratazn evidently wished to pursue pre-
cisey this course, and seem, for some time, to
have seriously meditated it. But when the
hour Of final decision arrived, the courage of
the Government failed, and the demand OF
France was submitted to- With such a Gov
eminent, the Party of Action will probably
think, no Roadway can be made. Garibaldl, IN his
last proclamation, declared Ratazzi to be dis
grace to the nation. Ricciotti Garbaldi, the
second son of the LberatOr, in an address de-
livered recently to an English meeting, de-
clared that his father made a mistake in calling
Victor Emmanuel the he Gdidntuomo. Tins
feeling is likely to spread. Italy wants Rome,
if possible. in cooperation with the National
Government; but ii the National Government
refuses cooperation, then in spite of it,
The French Government has achieved tri-
umph; but there are triumphs which, II re-
peatcd destroy the victor. The victory over
the Italian Government may prove to be OF
this kind Henceforh, France, instead OF Aus
tria, is the mortal enemy of the Italian people.

diplomatic representative of France in Naples,
and it seems likely that other riots of the same
character may follow. 1t can certainly not be
TO the advantage Of France to have two ma
tons like Prussia and Italy, chalng under a
yoke which France tries TO fasten upon them.
The latest dispatches from Florence throw
some doubt on the reported end Of the rcvolu-
ton. II is stated that the Italian reply to the
French utimatum has not yet been given, that
Mcnotti Garibaldi is still in the field, and that
Gen. Garbadi has once more escaped from
Caprera. We fear, however, that the French
accounts OF the submission of Victor Emmanuel
to Louis Napoleon will be found to be sub
stantially correct. They are confirmed by the
report that Ratazzi has resigned and has been
succeeded by Cen Menabrea, who, more than
any other prominent statesman of Italy, repre-
sents the interests of the Temporal Powerl
