ITALIAN OBSERVATION.
Three Italian corps OF observation already estab
llshed on the Ponufcal frontiers. One along the
Chiarone, on the Tuscan boundary. under General
Pianell q second, under General Cadarna, in the
provinces OF Umbria and Sabina; and third on the
Neapolitan frontier, under General PettinenQo thus
closely circumscribing the States OF the Church.
Tue obligations entered into by the Italian govern
ment are doubtless those Of preventing any attack
upon the Ponca territory from tho Italian side OF
the frontier; but 1t Is affirmed that in addition to
what was specified in the now revived convention
OF the 18th November 1854, there is now friendly
unders anding between the governments OF Victor
Emanuel and Napoleon Ill. that in case OF revolu-

THE SYMPATHY FOR PRUSSIA.
This Is why the court party at Rome wish success
to the arms Of Prussia, hoping therefrom down.

Bourbon line either through the Count OF Chambord
or the Of Louis Philippe. The liberals are 80 tired
OF continued French coercion that they also would

MIN, left Rome In hurry few days ago for Berlin,
where he was summoned by his government ana
the clericals argue well from the fact, presuming
that he will come back with instructions favorable
to the Pope who was complimented by King VIII
liam, before any other sovereign, on his military
achievements at the battle OF Montana.
ANTONELM AND THE FRENCH MINISTER.
The announcement Of the intended withdrawal Of
the French troops was only communicated to Cardi-
nal Antoneli by the Marquis OF Bannevllie the
9th ut and the measure must have been suddenly
resolved on for up to the preceding day the French
soldiers in garrison at Civita Veccnia were engaged
In the construction or fort ut the CornetO Gate and
In the storing OF ammunition recently received from
Toulon
On the 2sth half the Sixth battalion Of Chasseurs
Pied had embarked for Marseilles and the remain
Ing companies followed on the 3lst. Although the
soldiers had marched from V1terbO, and the weather
Iearfully hot they were bolsterously glad get

of death TO the priests !"

coolly, stating that he should communicate it FORTH

plous sort OF way, aliudng TO the defeat OF the Aus

the Papal province Of ROmanza, and hoping that no
such disaster would attend the French arms alter
their abandonment OF Ciyita vecchia and Viterbo
Now that the Pope Is infallible this speech may be
looked on as a prediction.
WAR COUNCIL.
General Kuntzler called a council OF war on the
29th and requested the opinion OF all the Pontifcal
generals and commandments as to the period OF time
which would be required for the Papal army to be
ready TO replace tue French garrsOns, In reply to
question from the French Ambassador to that effect

that events on the Rhine viii allow the French to
wait SO long. 1t was also resolved by the council
to organize without delay system Of recruiting for
the Papal army in those countries not yet drawn
into the vortex Of war armed neutrality such as
Catholic Ireland and North and South America.

CAUTIOUS AND RETICENT.
General Dumont went to pay his respects to the
Pope and Cardinal Antoneili Saturday. His
Holiness was very polite To the General, but never
as usual, TO the Emperor or the imperial family
Cardinal Antone was equally ceremonious, so
