PRUSSIA AND ITALY.
| Shurp Letter Addressed by Bismarck the

shnrp Letter Addressed by Bismarck TO the
Italian Minister of Affairs.
According to the International Count Bismarck
has forwarded the following to the Italian Minister
for Foreign A1iars:-
Monsieur lie Comte His Majesty, our beloved mas
ter, wishes TO make known to King Victor Enla-
nuels Government his intentions relating to tine
change which has taken place in the friendly aud
intimate intercourse which has existed 80 long be-
tween the the Courts. IL is not without surprise
that his Majesty your entire disregard of those
laws which, among all civilized nation haves always
prevented subjects from procuring weapons
and armlng themselves against another ma
ton being actually at peace with them.
Such an unhesrd-of line of conduct would
lead US to think that the Government OF Florence
intends departing from the neutrality which they
had promised us to keep before engaged ia The
present war; and, in fact, II t be considered that
after making the most attering promises to us, you
have given refuge and granted subsidies to a prince
afford him your diplomatic support in all his efforts
with the various European Cabinets to render our
position more difficult this is certainly not con-
duct which can inspire us with confidence In the
future attitude of the Cabinet of Florence. Pruss
has kept loyalty the promise made In 1866,
Emanuel was able to extend the frontiers OF his
realm. Very active agents are working IN the
lberic Peninsula to gather supporters for the cand
dature of Prince Amadeus, of Savoy. His Majesty
cannot be Indifferent to the consent given by the
Florence Cabinet this canddature for II In other
times Prussian influence In Spain could cause any
fears for the European balance OF power, the same
peril might exist also with the Italian influence,
especially that influence Is already established
both in Portugal and in France, where the King OF
Italy has family connections. Please call, Monsieur
lie Comte the attention of Victor Emanuels Govern
It with the Minister OF Foreign Affairs.

at the language OF Mr.. Sumner is reported TO have
spoken of the Senator ia terms more forcible than
elegant. Whether he simply uttered his own sem
