The Capture Of Rome n Political
Necessity.
LONDON, Sept 20.
The story that the Italian government
had made advances to any power before
the occupation of the Papal States is de-
MED. 1t is believed that the story origi-
mated from the fact that Italy addressed q
circular letter TO the italian representa-
tives TO foreign courts, setting forth the
absolute necessity Of her interference at
Rome to secure public order and the in.
dependence of the Roman people, and the
pacifcation of Italy. The object Of
Count Snumartina's mission to Rome was
to urge the Pope to recognize the good
filth Of Italy in this matter.
Discomfort ut the Late Capital.
There is some discomfort in Florence,
and the disturbances created involves the

dGrstoOd that King Victor will make his
entry into the Eternal City immediately
after the taking Of the plebiscitum, the
result being regarded US forcgono con-
Clusion. Evangelical societies lavc peti-
toned for permission to remove at once 10

PARIS now has but two ways Of com.
municating with the outside world, one
by means Of fballoons and another by car.
rter pigeons. The former is certainly
perilous, and the frequency Of communt'
cations must depend altogether on the
direction of the wind Besides this, the
,pronaut runs the risk OF being brought
down from his LOFTY altitude by the needle
gun or Prussian shells, and must exercise
the best of Judgment in making his asCen.
sions. The carricr.pigeOn system is pre-
cariOus, since the birds only act as bearers
Of dispatches by instinct when returning
to their homes; consequently, the pigeons
bearing messages from Paris to Tours be.
long to the latter city, and would not un'
der any circumstances voluntarily return
10 Paris. Whcn therefore, the last of
these flcet-winged birds, kept prisoner
in Paris, is looscd, communication by
means of carricr.pigcons will be cut of,
unless a new supply Of birds can be SNUG
gled into the city through the Prussian
