the present state OF things. Plus TX left to
his successors the terrible burden of the vol
uutsry imprisonment which embitters the
existence Of Leo Kill Il ana ready, said
the Pope few days ago, TO enter eternity;
and my successor will do as / do-die
prisoner in the Vatican, if the Holy See
dees not obtain the worthy independence to
which it is entitled These melancholy
and determined words show the Pope's dis
tress; but the distress of the Quirinal
ia not less. The king is Obliged to
take everything into account, idown to super
stitisu. There ia a part Of the Quirinal
which ia communicated. Il is deserted.
The attendants prefer a garnet in the nom
accommodated portion TO the finest apart

Emperor of Austria has not returned the
Kings visit at Rome. How could he do so?
Could be come TO Rome without Visiting the
Pope? And how and where could the Pope
return his visit? Many other embarrass-
ments are produced by the present situation
l do not know whether an arrangement will
be mada-I 60 not think there will be one
for the present-but what is there in those
endesvors 10 issue from an embarrassing ait
nation that can be viewed as hostile to
France?
"As regards Marrbal Won Moltke, we should

the great sirategist made plans war were
imminent. Immediately after the peace OF
Frankfort Count Moltke resumed his strate-
gical studies. There is not spot in Europe
which they do not embrace; he certainly
knows the new French frontier well as
those who traced il, and / hope that in this
respect France is az well informed about
Germany AZ Germany is about France. he
has evidently been examining the Italian
frontier, and he evidently intends TO draw up
plan of campaign on the Italian frontier,
which could no doubt be consulted if neces-
ssry. Only the necessity may never arise.
Was it on plan drawn up few days be-
fershand that the Germans entered France

IN. Lavedsn's story, moreover, is not conn
plimentsry to France. Her frontiers are re-
ported by competent men to be admirably
drawn, fortified and connected. The So
called 'touee de BeIfort,' which in 1875 the
Germsns compared to thorn in the feet,
js formidable barrier; and behind all
these rampsrts, France, armed as she Is,
could brave the combined armies of three
powers. 1t is a reprehensible mistake, there
fore, TO set up such theories on such slender
grounds.
"The object OF the triple alliance lie the
preservation Of peace, and il ia TO preserve
it that positive understanding between
Russia and France is guarded against. But
Russia would not lend herself TO such an
understanding. just as France is well able
to resist at home Russia is little able to do
so. Her army in Poland would be lost when-
ever Austria aud Germany attacked her, and
her cooperation would be destroyed before
che could give any manifestation of it.
Hence the Auslro-Germsn alliance suffice
10 paralyze a Franco-RIssian alliance. But
Italy having joined Austria and Germany,
the possibility OF the latter alliance is more
removed than ever; yet neither France nor
peace on that account runs any danger"
