ROME

The Courier des Etan Jfnis, q Democratic
paper, as regards American affnirs, bui Bona
partist in its views Of French politics, has the
following observations on the relations OF
France Ind Italy.
After speaking Of tho project Of an invasion
of the imperial city by GAniDALpi, and of the
eloquent iet.os on tho same subject, recently
published, by The Bishop of Orleans, NJ. DURAN
Lour, it goes on TO sny; We will not speak Of
Rome from a religious point Of view; for we
are not of thoso who take pleasure in the con-
temptation of the dccadencc Of Catholicism
We do not thing the full of colossus q fit sub
jcct for merriment. From a political atand-
point, one consideration only concerns ua, and
that is TO inquire whether it is in accordance
with tho honor and the interests of France, in
view Of surrounding circumstances, that Rome
should remain in tho hands of prus TX. This
question VIC have no hesitation 10 answering in
the affirmative. France, which for good or for
evil signed the Convention of September 10,
mnst remain true TO her compact She must,
moreover, in the light Of probable eveniunlities,
assure herself a foolhold in Italy. Tint coun-
we may ba nardoncI if wo listrust her inten-
items. Who knows what part she would tako

European papers adrica.us that tho italian
cabinet contemplates recalling 81. Mana, who
has long represented Italy In Paris II is
thought be hos too much Gsul in his compost
tion, md q successor is spoken Of, whose pre-
dilections arc Of an opposite character. It fs
said, moreover, that NJ. RArAz1I will demand as
the prize OF French Italian alliance, the an-
ne1ation Of Rome to The Kingdom Of Italy, and
the annulment Of the Convention of September.
This proposition Is, however, certain Of, o re-
ftisal. r!la. aslp. iini, .,.!. " i.,'.5
The project Of GAhlnALpr Is so inopportune,
and so prcjudicial 10 oil the interests Of France,
that even the Democratic journals Of Paris dis
countenanceit It. E0piaion Ndfionale de precates'
tho short-sighted policy Of the hero of Marsals;
and nj. GuEnoULT, "who eats priests with as
much gusto as an editor OF lie Steele" says that
NJ. CAvoun told him one day That ."GAninALpI
never had two ideas in his head" This ID
quite true, GAHIpALDI is on!y eAp.ble Of hav-.
ing ono 6xed idee, but this Is precisely the
secret of his strength, Like children, who
always obtain what they desire, by dint Of per-
sisting in the same demand, GAlrnALDI ,gener-
ally attains his end. II he Was less narrow
minded, if he was. susceptible Of complex con-
ceptions, his successes would perhaps be less
brilliant, and his popularity, which is bound
less in Italy, would osr.ainly have besn much
less. Jri ~ -. ,.H.
This time, however, II II is indeed 6ertaia,
that ,GAniDALDI Is about TO march on Rome, we
believe he will hit snag liberal mississippi

the September Convention, and IL would not be
the, frat time that GAaIBALpI would find France
q stumbling block In his way. ut!,ir .o,ii
We desire to be distinctly understood, that
we arc not now saying that this said September
Convention wnsA wise act; nor do We wIsh 70
be numbered with the sdroc,tes OF either the
mildness or the necessity ofths theocaatic
power, or Of the infsllibiity Of tho Pope, sto.,
ETC.. Tho Courier des Etats Unis, on all thess
points has long since given II. declaration Of
faith. We simply hold that FRANCE has affixed
her signature 10 bill Of exchange, snd shs
must honor IL, cost what IL. may, even though
Italy, ths other party to tho compact, should
altogether fail In complying with ,hsr. iss-
