Ever since the uniiication of Italy was
accomplished, the king aud cabinet of
that country have cast longing eye in
the direction of Iuni,. The French
have always spoken Of their north AZ
rcan possessions rs the natural con.
tnulton' ~ Of France, and glance at
the map will show that Tunis holds the
same relative position to Italy that Al
gcra holds toward the land Of the GauI.
For the past few years Italian intrigue
has been directed toward 'lunis in the
effort to provoke the latter country to 60
something that would afford pretcXt
for her subjugation. The French con
quest of Algeria was the immediate re-
suit of a quarrel between the dcy Of Al
gicl. and the French consul, in which
the doy forgot his dignity 50 far ~ to
strike the consul with u ian. Following
French example, the Italian consul has
sought quarrel with Mohammed.cs
-ldok, IN" bcy of 'Gunis, and it is cur
rcntIy believed among the other foreign
er. at Tuni- that his conduct is in obedi-
cncc to Instructions. Every few months
he presents claims of Italian subjects who
allcgc that they have suffered loss in the
ports of TuniS in consequence of the ac-
tion of the bcv's officers. Some of these
claims are pretty well known To be eX-
urbitant if not wholly fictitious; their
settlement has been delayed rs long as
possible, but eventually the hey has paid
them rather than afford Italy the pre-
text she wants. On certain festivals 1t
is the custom for the foreign Con-uIS 10
call upon the bcy and extend their con
gratuialions: on several occasion ) the
Italian consul has neglected this formal
ity. and afforded the bcy a brilliant OF
portunitv for anger which might lead To
a rupture. But the hey continues to
treat 'he consul with great Toitencss,
and pays no reed to these a!lronts. Cen
