FROM ROME.
ROME, August est has been for some
time a standing joke in Italy that the Mln-
listers of State live on the rail. Their com,
ings and goings between Florence ana
Rome are incessant. The theory has been
that their extreme mobility was caused by
important affairs of State connected with
the transfer of the Capital. A letter from
Florence shows that the Capital Is not
transferred, nor likely to be at present. In
point of fact, Italy's Capital is, Mt present,
nowhere. Not at Florence, and certainly
not vet at Rome. There are scores of bales
of official papers packed up and waiting
the turn Of events. The truth comes out
that Ministers cannot live at Rome. Inc
climate of the Eternal City agrees wen e;a
with the Holy Father, notwithstanding ms
great age, and the innumerable troubles
and cares that press upon him, but 1t GOES
not agree with the members OF victor EN-
nanuers Government. With the excep-
ton of the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
thew cannot stay in Rome longer than one
week in q month. They gasp for purer
air. One of them has just been taken so
ill at Rome that he has left in haste to en-,
iov the breezes Of the Valteline, his natai
soil. The new Project of Rome, Signor
Gadda, who has resigned the portfolio OF
Pnbiic Works, is Off to Milan, where his
family reside. Prince Humbert has de-
parted for Spain, leaving the Qulrinai TO

correspondent adds, to "petroilzers;"
