THE SWORD.

Gen. Kanzler has been inspecting po-
sitions in the province Of Viterbo, where.
the first inroad is expected, in spite OF
the repeated and positive assertions OF
the Italian Ministry that the Papal from
tiers will be scrupulously respected.
Rumors are afoat of Italian patrols
being captured by the Pontifcial troops
and rice rersa, butt believe both accounts
to be incorrect.
The Antilles Legion is in such state
of discomfort that its disarmament is
contemplated. A considerable number
of the soldiers would be free in two or
three months time; but they have not
patience to wait for the conclusion OF
their engagements, and remaining mac
tive in Rome, while the fate of their
country is being decided on the banks of
the Marine @Aube. Consequently they
are always besieging the French Embas-
sador at the Colonna palace and entreat-
ing him to obtain their release.
Tne Marquis de Bonneville, in order
to be free to go in and out Of his resi-
dence without such obsession, bias been
obliged to establish corps de ggrde In
his court, and to post up notification
at the entry informing the soldiers that
their return to France depends not upon
him. but on the Roman War Minister, at
whose disposal they were formally placed
by General LeBeuf at the commence
ment of the war. This decision OF the
French ex-War Minister fills these ar
dent Young soldiers with fury, so that
General Kanzler finds it necessary to let
few of the most noisy depart now and
then. trusting to the arrival of new re-
cruits to take their places. Desertions
continue to weaken the Legion daily, so
that with those who want TO get away
per fas ct nefds and those who want to
fight for their country, the few who con-
sent to stay and fight for the Pope, II
need be. are miserable minority.
The French ambassador has been
Obliged to complain to Cardinal Anto-
nelli of the one-sided view of the war
taken by the Osservatore Romano, and
deputation of French soldiers from
different regiments in the Papal army
have intimated to the editor and writers
of that paper, that if they go on publish
ing Prussian victories and laughing at
French defeats, summary chastisement
will be inflicted on them. Cardinal An
tonelh confessed that he never read news
papers, and consequently was ignorant
of the articles complained of in the .Os-
servatore, but he promised satisfaction,
which was soon given in a severe repri-
mand to the press censor who had au-
thorized the articles in question, and an
intimation to the Marquis Bayiera, ed!-
tor of the paper (here editors are either
priests OF noblemen), to change his tone
at once, and to contribute two hundred
francs to the fund inaugurated by com
mittee of Roman Princes for the benefit
Of the Franco-Prussian wounded sol
diers.
THE LAY ORDERS.
These orders have been observed to
the letter. The 0sservatore has thrown
