PFVOT UTJONARY MOVEMENTS IN ITALY.

REVOL UTIONARY MOVEMENTS IN ITALY,
Republicanism is aroused by the proclama-
tiou of the French Republic, not only IN SPAN
but also in Italy. The demand has been made,
as we have previously announced, that the
Government shall take possession OF Rome,
and official notice has been given OF an inten-
ton to remove the capital to the Imperial city
at once. There has since developed strong
desire on the part of the people for the re-
annexation of Nice, which by the Treaty OF
vilafranca fell to the share OF France, as
Venice was given to Austria. Venice and all
yenetia was restored to Italy by the successes
of her German allies in 1886. Nice ana lts
Ducby are doubtless now to be restored as the
result of the German successes in France.
Our information from the latter named
citv represents the citizens in revolt against
French rule, refusing to submit to the
levy for troops, and collisions between the
National Gardes and the young men are re-
ported as of frequent and serious occurrence
The restoration of Nice, and for that matter
Of Savoy also, to Italy, will be no wrong to
the new Republic. These provinces were un-
Justly obtained by fraud of the Empire and
unwillingly retained by its force. If the Re-
public shall insist on holding these Italian
provinces, it will no longer have the right to
protest against the German occupation and
annexation of Alsace and Lorraine, for the
people of Nice and Savoy are Italians, not
French, and in holding them France violates
the doctrine of Natonalities which she de-
mands that Germany shall observe.
There is evidently to be, as a result of the war,
a rearrangement of other frontiers than that OF
the Rhine, and other nations beside Germany
are likely to get their own again. The rean-
nexation of Nice and the Roman States Will
give Italy very greatly enlarged maritime
frontier. If she gets Savoy again she VIII
have restored. her former boundaries and COM
pleted the unifcation for which she has so
long struggled. That Germany will not OBJ
iect to this enrichment of her former ally may,
we think, be safely assumed, and there is lit
tie reason to doubt that the unifcation OF
Italy is virtually accomplished.

The fortieth Fair of the American Institute

After brief Introductory remarks by the Chair
New-York tribune., 1870-09-08

The i'll wind which has lately swept 80 dis
astrously over France may blow good to
distant China. England is in a rage over the
late massacre at Tien-Tsin--a very natural
wrath, as we readily admit-but in her anger
she never forgets policy, and does not in this
instance intend to enforce satisfaction all alone.
1t is announced that as soon as another gov
ernment is established in France, and the
French fleet and army is ready, England is to
boldly join hands with her distressed neighbor
and punish China for the crimes of the Gov
ernOr of Tien-Tsin and his English aide and
adviser. 1t will probably be some time before
France is ready for offensive operations
abroad, and the Chinese Government will
meantime make, as it has promised all the
restitution in its power. But determined not
to lose the opportunity, England must play
the braggart and indulge in this idle boast.
New-York tribune., 1870-09-08

Count Bismarck, on the battlefield of Sedan,
declining congratulations on the success and
disclaiming any credit for the strategy of the
campaign, with pardOnable pride pointed to
the Bavarians and Wiirtembergers and SaxOns
and Prussians fighting side by side-the un-
questionable proofs of the final attainment of
that unity which the German race has dreamed
of for centuries-and said: "This | have
"dOne." Certainly this was the work of Bis
marck as much as of any one man; yet, after
all, how little man, and how greatly circum
stances - accidents unforeseen, agencies un-
thought Of-have tended to this grand result
The effect has come of the causes that were
most dreaded; the end has been attained by
means that were most avoided. 1t has been
brought about less by the agitation of peace
full, popular ideas of men who desired it than
by the wicked, warlike opposition of enemies
who dreaded it. Such is the argument of the
remarkable letter of David Strauss, which is
published on our second page. He illustrates
these ideas with facts and figures which COM
bine to make his communication a perfect
history of German Unity.

The Baltimore Sun says: "King William
of Prussia says of his last terrible battle that
he shrinks from learning his losses" How
prodigious, then, the slaughter must have
been may be partly guessed from the fact
that, in previous dispatch, the King had re-
ported destruction Of forty thousand men,
while the carnage seems to have been as ter
rife in some preceding battles. The French
estimate that the Prussiaus have lost ninety
thousand, killed and wounded, since crossing
the frontier which seems moderate On their
part, the Prussians claim to have put fifty
thousand French hors du combat.
