A War Cloud in Europe Financial
UueastueSs.
From the New York World. Oct. 1s.

The Emperor Napoleon has officially an
noanced his intention to intervene in the
affairs OF Italy with view to uphold the
temporal power Of the Pope The MOniteHr
accuses Italy Of violation of the law of
nations, and declares that its government
is stimulating and aiding the Republican
revolutions. This means war-immediate
war between Italy and France, and, as a
consequence, there is a panic On the
Bourse, and, indeed, all the money mar
kets of Europe. Even consols are serious
ly depressed, and there has been an alarm
ing drain of gold from the Bank OF Eng
land.
If bayonets are crossed between French
and Italian troops on the Tiber, what will
result Will Prussia stand by and see
her late ally struck down, without pro.
test 1t does not seem possible. The
sensitiveness Of all the money markets
shows that every one expects this action Of
France TO result in continental war. As
between France and Italy alone, the war
would be short, sharp and decisive"
The latter country is no match for the
former without extraneous help. If the
temporal power Of the Papacy is to 60
down, it is in the eternal fitness of things
that il shouid be marked by such convul-
sion as a continental war would now be in
Europe.

THE POPE NAPOLEON - MAMMALIAN
GARIBALDI.
The arrest Of Garibaldi has allayed the
bitter feeling entertained in the Vatican
against Napoleon. The Emperor is con-
sidered to have done his duty, and there
fore the official journal has published an
abstract Of the recent allocution, omitting
the offensive passages about Mexico.
These, az before informed you, were in
tended to refute the statement in the
pamphlet entitled ola Cour de Rome ct
pEmpereur Maximilian," published at
Paris, and which the Nuncio in that city
reported TO be directly inspired BY the
Emperor Napoleon. But the Pope was
not satisfied with exonerating himself, and
the documents he read to the Cardinals in
confirmation of his allegations, implied
charges against the Sovereign of France.
1t appears that at least a portion of these
papers were placed in his hands by the
Empress Charlotte, on her visit to Rome
but he did not receive the letter from
Queretsro till three DAYS before the assem-
bling of the consistory. 1t was the read
ing of this letter by the Holy Father that
SO moved the Cardinals, and, as the cir
cumstances under which the epistle was
writteR give it mournful interest, i have
been at pains to learn its purport. The
writer begins by humbly asking pardon for
all that he has done contrary to the laws
of the Catholic Church and in opposition
to the Holy See, declaring that he wishes
| to die good Christian, after the example
of his ancestors, and he implores the Pope
| to absolve him and accept his life in ex-
piation Of his faults. He expresses pro-
found regret that he was not guided by the
counsels of the Holy Father, who warned
him against the Establishments Of the po-
htical perfidy to which, at last, he had
| fallen a victim, and he deeply grieves that
he had been more swayed by Napoleon
| than by the Pope He concludes by en-
treating the apostolic benediction IN drtic-
ulo morris, and conjures the Holy Father to
pray for his sonl and for his unfortunate
spouse, so cruelty tried, and obtain for her
from God strength to bear her sorrows.
The arrest of Garabaldi was announced
to the Pope by telegram from Signor
Rattazzi before it was known in Florence,
and caused him great satisfaction. 1t pro-
duced no visable agitation in Rome. There
has not been the slightest demonstration,
and everything proceeds in the ordinary
groove, as if nobody felt the least interest in
Garibaldi. Even the National Junta up to
this time has made no sign, and the more
moderate Liberals are as silent az the par
" of action. The Court Of Rome hardly
conceals its exultation, but only recognizes
an inierposition of Heaven watching over
the safety Of the Holy See. Among them
selves, however, the high f1nctionaries and
the mOnsignori admit that Providence has
acted through Napoleon, who ordered
| Signor RattazZi TO effect the arrest. Thus
no obligation is acknowledge to the Italian
government Indeed, all the credit is
given to Cardinal Autonelli, as the ener-
getic measure is considered to have been
prompted by dispatch he sent 10 Paris
declaring that any violation of the Ponti,
ical territory would be Immediately fol-
lowed by the Pope's withdrawal 10 Ciyita
Necchia, where he would take refuge on
board a foreign ship and seek an asylum
in England. The dispatch went on to say
that his Holiness would pursue the same
course if a single Italian soldier crossed
the frontier on any pretence whatever
There can be no doubt that these threats
did exercise an effect ON the court of the
Tuileries, for a French General, high in
the confidence of the Emperor, is known
10 have arrived unexpectedly at Florence
and sought an instant conference will
Signor RatLazzi. The conference was fol
lowed by Garabaldi's arrest.
Signor Rattazzi is trying to escape tn,
unpopularity of the measure hy declaring
in all the ministerial journals that he ha
saved Italy from a new French interven
ton. The ministerial organs no longe
deny that Napoleon had formally promise,
the Pope 10 come TO his aid on the frs
E alarm-though il is certain that the Nati
: can placed as little reliance on the En-
peror As on Siguor Rattazzi. Perhaps tn

acter in an equal degree, for he is certainl

But we must not consider that GarTibaldi

business. as any moment may bring aboy
It another complication.
