Correspondence Of The InteLigsncer.
ROME, Dec. 8, 1867.
The most alarming rumors are in cir
eulation this afternoon; the speech oil
Mr.. Rouher is decidedly a train OF
gunpowder thrown in the midst OF the
1Lnlo. Roman difficulty. I am afraid
that fot the present this speech will
not settle anything. but, 1t enlightens
at least the situation with more than
ordinary light. 1t was said an hour
ago, and II IL still said at the present
moment, In we'll informed circles, that
the French troops concentrated In
QtvitR Vecchin, will come back To
Rome; that threatening demonstrations
have taken place In several cities OF
the Peninsula on the arrival of the
dispatches summing up the answer OF
the Minister OF State to the objections
eloquently set forth by the opposition
In regard to the Roman expeditions; Ii
was also said that the Italian Parlla-
mentary session Of tomorrow, will de.
eide as 10 whether Italy Will submit or
20 TO war. In connection with that
question, large supplies OF needle guns,
lately sent by PrussIn TO the
Italian Government are talked
about In official circles. II is
asserted thAtRn Itaio.P Prussian alliance
has suddenly assumed vast proper.
ttOns; ttiht neither the Court OF Berlin
nor that-oflSt Petersburg, nor even
that Of London, will allow France 10
make war against Italy; for unity Is
contrary to French interests, and con.
Sequently agreeable 70 these three
great powers, which have never been
very friendly to Rome. This Italo. .Ro.
man difficulty is considered there to be
the torch OF dlscord which will kiudle
most terrible war In Europe, II we
are TO judge By the ambition which IL
the hr't causegof- II, the passions by
which IL has beeu caused and the In.
tefests which are nj stake.
The public are also convinced that
unless Victor ELhanuel nets in direct
opposition to the will Of the nation, be
cannot give way 10 the declarations OF
Mr.. ROuher.
