OF Italy, is reported as having given, what IS
called warning" to the French government
against what he calls its "encourl gemeut to
the clerical party, to discover Italy aud over
throw the throne in the interest of the rc-es-
Enlistment OF the temporal power OF the Pope.
He throws upon France the burden Of diScour-
aging this party, aud presents as an alternative
the formation o! an alliance between Italy and
Germany, which would mean another war for
France even more disastrous than that Of 1870. y
The news from Spain is that the Govern
ment is making determined efforts to crush the
Communist insurrectionsts who are 10 rebellion
in the south, and the Carlists in the north.
Valencia has been attacked and bombarded
and will probably surrender aud Seville has
offered to return to its allegiance to the Rcpub-
lie. While the prospects are favorable TOR the
success OF the Government IN that section, the
Carlists are still active and pressing onward.
Europe is in a situation not at all favorable,

DECISION In bill passed at the last SEES
sion OF Congress, an appropriation OF certalD
sum was made to indemnify the States for the
enrolment and maintenance Of troops IN the
defence of the United States during the war.
Under this clause case has come up from
Louisiana, which makes claim upon the nation
| al Treasury for the enrolment and maintenance
of militia in that State under the reconstruction
laws The acting Second Comptroller OF the
| Treasury, TO whom the case was referred, de-
cides that the original act authorizing the Sec
rotary of the Treasury to make payment to the
States for troops used iu dcicucc Of the Gov,
ernmcnt during the war cannot be construed to
comprehend the services Of private individuals,
nor even Of States for the same purpose, at a
period subsequent to the war. 1t is understood
| that very large amouDt Of claims OF a similar
character would have been presented had the
Treasury decided that this claim was valid.
