"A Florence letter in the Paris Temps gives
the following details respecting the situation
Of Italy and the state Of parties: "Itsly has
not over 400 600 soldiers at present under the
fisg; her army consists Of only Ave classes OF
10000 each, those o. 1862 to 1866, and the lest
named has not as yet assembled, although
called out. The number on paper is, therefore,
400 600. Instead OF 2oO,0 900 needle guns and
30 600 Chassepots she is said to possess, Italy
has only 25,0OO guns Of new English system.

to be delivered every month until that number
Is attained. Az to the feet, for ten frst-class
ships of the line in tho port Of Naples, read
three Of the second class, and these only At-
ting out. Italy at the present moment is not
ready for anything; such is the truth.

lieysd him strong enough to break through all

They have trir irped him at last. If he does not

with which they may entrust him. Instead Of
being safe man, he may be the most danger
ous man in the country to whom the people
eould confide their interests.
TO show how successful, and even popu-
