Meanwhile, Rome is being quietly and steadily rcvoiu-
onzed No Of her that does not already feel the
stir OF that marvellous life that came to her when
the Italian Bersagie1 scaled the breach at Porta Pa
She must made ready for her new honors, and one
great necessity is to prepare apartments enough Tor
Court Cabinet and Parliament well as for the thou
sands of employees who will follow them Spectators
from other parts OF Italy, and oven from abroad are
here eager 70 begin building at One serious OBJ
staoe Is found In the amount Of property owned by
the numerous religious associations and Parliament Will

vents thnly occupied by monks Some OF the latter
have already been drafted soldiers and Will presently
have to exchange gown and cow for knapsack and gun
An English Company offers to put up In agar houses

The first Provisional Gunta Rome has had two within
these i've weeks) decreed bronze medal representing
the Roman fasces crossed, an escutcheon in the
center with the Roman coat of arms-the
Wolf and Twins-and the Legend Roma Rirendicatd as
suoi Liberatori-" Avenged Rome to her Lberators"
This decoration is to be conferred all officers aud sol
ders who have taken part in the military operations OF
the Campagna up TO the Goth Of September 1870 also on
all who by signal acts OF valOr patriotism have
worked for the liberation Of Rome from lsi9 to 1870
The first edal struck gold one, will be offered to Vic
tor Emanuel as King and Head Of the National Party
One of silver Ia to be placed upon the tomb Of Cavour at
santerrs and another presented TO Garbald The same
Giuna appropriated the Of $4,000 francs for dis
tribuon TO political exies natives OF Rome and worthy
of assistance, who would return to their homes. The
Court of the Qurnal daily crowded with hundreds Of
these men, gaunt hungryeyed claimants of their coun
try's bounty For Rome is not ungrateful, but gen.
erousy mindful Of the children that have suffered for her.
The new Municipal Administration has been raising
some excitement among the Government employees by Its
savage encroachments their old life. Formerly the
sl.a thny aff
for lunch at III, returned at !, and were
shortly dismissed for the day Now these gentlemen
have received strict orders to at o'clock in the
morning, and not leave ftheir duties until B. This
summary leap from two hours to seven must shake them
like gavanc shock out Of their old courses Many are
in spar particularly those who, by Of slender
emolumcnts did slight private business outside OF
their official functions also, numerous individuals OF ell
egant LEISURE whom this modus rcendi will forever
deprive of the comfortable sinecure they have been
ceivng under seal Of Saint Peters keys 1t is only
another OF the symptoms that Rome has done with
petrfactions and will work henceforh real bone and
muscle.
Some Ia reported In the lately annexed
provinces with recent decrees making Of several OF their
larger towns dependencies deprived OF their sepa
rate Prefectures This act has hat dashed the
thusasm Of those districts for their union TO the King
dom ITALY, and they threaten in revenge send to Par
lament Opposition Deputies II that the Govern
ment had been intending economical measure to re-
duce the number OF lPrefeetures In the Kingdom and
rots by the occasion to begin the change with them
II might been polite had 1t deferred striking
this blow at Viterbo and three four other cities until
after the elections but IL certainly shows more honesty
deceivng those communities, In order To get Mod
crate Deputies and ihen stripping them OF their old
rights and IL must have lost prestige by such
course than has This Is probably only meant
precedent which other older cities will be later
PEELED to follow. The entire population OF the exPspa
States numbers barely 10000 souls. II the system
o restriction must be adopted IT would have been unwse
10 let Provinces Of 10000 inhabitants continue exist
When there many old ones that exceed I'VE times
that number, and some that resch 100000.
