Miscellaneous News Notes.
Rev. DR.. Neven, pastor Of the American
Protestant Episcopal church at Rome, who
IL now in New York, reports that Italy is
Watching closely the events in Egypt, and
that there is a strong feeling among the
people and on the continent that the inva-
sion OF Egypt is not going to be as light a
task as Sir Garnet Wolseley imagines, and
that it may lead to an act of retaliation Oh,
the part OF Russia, who will eventually seize
the Bosphorus as counter moveto highlands
seizure ofthe Suez canal. In such an event
he regarded general European war ineyi
table and that it would be greatly to the ad-
vantage of Italy, who, while remaining a
passive observer, would be able to throw
her assistance on the side which will be
best Tor her interests. He regards the Ital-
ian army, so far as discipline and eiticien-
ccy is concerned, as second only to that of
Germany. While the king and his cabinet
are on excellent terms with England, the
Italian people regard the war against Egypt
as unwarranted and unjust and look upon
the English with as much aversion as they
did the French when they invaded Tunis.
