A united Italy, with Rome for its capital, is a sentiment as widely spread and as deeply rooted in the Italian Peninsula as the sentiment of German unity in Germany itself. Napoleon III, however, , was for eighteen years the, one man who stood in the way of its realization, and he has become, in turn, the instrument of its probable consummation, as he has become the instrument of giving to German unity a stronger impetus than was im parted to it by all the statecraft and intrigue of Bismarck. The fond dream of a united Italy, with the Eternal City for its capital, is upon the point of realization; if the ex-Emperor had bien content with absolute dominion in France, years might yet have elapsed before it would have become either probable or possible. Italy Before the War of 1839. Italy, before the war of 1859, was divided up in the following fashion: Area. miA., Pfpittation, Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom... 17.511 5,001,474 Kingdom of Sardinia 28,229 5,090,245 Kingdom of Naples (Including Sicily) 41,906 8.704,472 I'ontl deal Slates : 17,210 3,006,771 Grand Duchy of Tuscany (In cluding Lncca) 8,580 l,61B,6Sa Ducby of rarma 2,706 607,881 Duchy of Modena 2,073 686,458 Republic of Kan Marine 82 7,600 Principality of Monaco 53 6,boo Totals 118,356 24,733,385 The KlngdOQi of Italy. In consequence of the attempt in January, 1858, by Orsinl upon the life of Napoleon III, a law directed against All "suspected individuals" was enacted in Sardinia, and this circumstance was significant of very close and friendly rela tions between France and Sardinia. Austria at once took the alarm, and began to suspect the existence of intrigues between these two powers having for their object her expulsion from Lombardy and Venice. She therefore resorted to a series of liberal measures for strengthening her foothold in her Italian provinces, and at the same time endeavored to fortify her position by forming a league with the minor Italian States. Naples and Modena were found willing to enter into all Austrian projects, but the Duchess of Parma and the Grand Duke of Tuscany de clined. In August, 1859, it became known that Sardinia had ceded to Russia a cite for a navy yard at Villafranca, and the latter power made an effort to purchase the petty principality of Monaco, and secure a naval depot at Brlndlsi from the King of Naples. Then followed the matrimonial alliance between Prince Napoleon, the French Emperor's cousin, and the Princess Clothilde, daughter of King Victor Emanuel, and all these circumstances forced Austria into the belief that she was about to becpue the object of a triple alliance. This was confirmed by a few words spoken by Napoleon to the Austrian Ambassador on New Year's day, 1859, and both sides commenced their preparations for war forthwith. The King of Naples en deavored to stave off the impending revolution in his dominions by setting free many political prisoners. -The Grand Duke of Tuscany, the Duke of Modena, and the Duchess of Parma, unable to make a stand agaln9t the gathering $torm, forsook their dominions, the Duke of Modena taking bis political prisoners along with him, and transferring them to the dun geons of the Austrian fortress of Verona. In April the Austrian General Gyulal sent au ultimatum to Victor Emanuel, and immedi ately marched his army across the Tlclno. On the 20th of May the left wing of the Austrian army was defeated by the combined forces of France and Sardinia at Montebello, and their right wing was on the point of being flanked as the retult of the battles of Pal est ro, May 31 and Jane 1, when they recrossed the Tlcino, but only to sustain a complete rout in an open battle at Ma genta, on the 4th of June. The victory of Solf erlno (Jane 24) followed, and the war was brought to a close by a personal Interview between the French and Austrian Emperors at Villafranca, July 11, and the subsequent treaty of Zurich, November 10. As the result of this treaty, Sardinia acquired a portion of Lombardy, for which she agreed to pay Austria $42,000,000, while Venice and the Lombardan fortresses of Mantua and Peschiera were confirmed to Aus tria, Napoleon subsequently receiving Savoy and the county of Nice from Sardinia as com pensation for bis timely assistance. The restoration of the Grand Duke of Tus cany and the Duke of Modena bad been stipu lated by the treaty of peace, but the people of these territories jini ted with those of portions of the Pontifical States in protesting against the - restoration of their former rulers, and under the leadershlpof Garibaldi and other republican leaders, a grand movement in favor of Italian unity was started. Count Cavour had left Vic tor Emanuel's Ministry on the signing of the i'leliuUnajjes of Villafranca, but in January, 1SG0, he renamed bis premiership, and Parma and Modena were at once annexed to Sardinia. In March the people of Tuscany and the JEtul lian provinces of the Pontifical ?'ates voted overwhelmingly in favor of annexa tion, in preference ' to being formed into a separate kingdom, and on their incorporation with Sardinia, the name of the kingdom was changed to Italy. Meanwhile an insurrection bad broken out in Sicily, at the head of which Garibaldi placed himself. , The Neapolitan troops were routed at CalaUQrnl on May 15; on June 6 the Sicilian capital, Palermo, surren dered; Mlozzo capitulated on July 27; and King Bomba saw that his bold on Sicily could no longer be maintained by force of arms. Liberal concessions were resorted to, as a forlorn hope for retaining Naples, but they came too late. On August 19, Garibaldi landed on the peninsula, and in a short time, either through his own victories or local insurrections, was master of the southern portion of Naples. The King abandoned his capital, and endeavored to make a stand at Gacta. He left Naples on the afternoon of September 6, and on the following morning Garibaldi made a" triumphal entry amidst the wildest enthusiasm of the people. A last and dearly-bought victory was won on the banks of the Volt urn o, after which the liberator resigned the Dictatorship which he had assumed and signed a proclama tion by which the people of the Two Sicilies were summoned, on October 21, to decide upon their own destiny. After the occupation of Naples by Garibaldi, the army of King Victor Emanuel, who had given the insurrection his open countenance from the first, had advanced into Neapolitan territory and completed the work. The people decided, by a vote of 1,310,000 out of 1,420,000, in favor of annexation to the king dom of Italy. On November 7 the King made a triumphal entry Into the city of Naples, with Garibaldi at his side, and on February 14, 1801, Gacta, the last post held by the former King of Naples, surrendered, and Francis II, stripped Of all semblance of power, sought a refuge in Rome. Victor Emanuel now found himself at the head of a kingdom numbering 22,000,000 people; but the Pope still maintained his sway over the natural capital of the peninsula and the surrounding territory, and Austria still had a foothold in Venctia. The Prusso-Austrlan war of 1806 resulted in driving Austria beyond the Alps, and rendering the borders of the new kingdom of Italy conterminous with those of the peninsula, with the single exception of Rome and its petty dependencies. Italy declared war against Austria on June 20, 18CG. A great battle was fought at Custoea on June 24, in which the Italians were worsted. They also sustained a great naval defeat off Llssa on July 18; but these reverses were compensated for by the crushing defeats sustained by Austria at the hands of Prussia, and in July the Italians over ran Venetia almost without encountering resist ance, an armistice being agreed upon on the 29th. A treaty of peace was finally concluded be tween Italy and Austria on October 3, 1800, in which Francis Joseph, the Emperor of Austria, agreed that "so far as he is concerned Venetia is acquired for Italy. A popular vote was immediately taken, resulting in 611,753 votes for annexation to Italy, and only 69 against! Upon receiving this result from a Venetian deputa tion, King Victor Emanuel exclaimed, as well he might, "This day is the proudest of my life." All Italy was at last united under one govern ment, with the exception of the 4552 sqnare miles of territory and 723,121 people still sub ject to the dominion of the Pope. Rome as the Capital of Italy. And now, as Indicated by the latest despaches from Europe, the grand consummation of Ita lian nnity is about to be witnessed. The evacu ation of the Eternal City by the French troopt, which was completed on the 8th of August, left the temporal power of the Pope at the mercy of the Red Republicans, and to avoid the establishment of a Republic in Rome Victor Emanuel is about marching into the city towards which tho eyes of all Italy have been turned for years with an impatient longing. WITH BAZAINE IN METZ. The Marshal's Headquarters Tho Heart of (be French Army. A correspondent of the Manchester Guardian writes: Bidding good-by to my friends of the Imperial Guard, who bad been my captors, 1 again mounted, and was accompanied by an escort to the head quarters of the greatest olllcer in the French army. It was a new sight to see the Internal economy of a commander-in-chief's bureau in time of battle. We were in a large hall forming a sort of pavilion in the sadly ruined garden. At a long common deal table were seated the Marshal and about twenty of the superior ottlcers of his stair. Despatches were written by dozens and signed by the secretary after the Marshal had read them over, and the work seemed to go on with the regularity of a counting house. Messenger after messenger, mounted au'l on foot, came at very frequent intervals. Their reply was Immediately dictated aud sent back. la the corner was an electric telegraph perpetually ticking its tale from the most distant quarters, and for about half an hour 1 was in the iNKfcKJiOtf niAKT OP TnE FKENCfl ARM?, watching its pulsations if I could not see the move ments of its lunba. Presently the Marshal rose and invited roe to seat myself beside him, asked me a few questions, and then declared the whole thing to be uue betUe on the part of the officers who arrested me, but apologised for them by Baying that they were so surrounded by Prussian spies, aud bad so many in the town and camp, tht their own move ments were known to the enemy almost better than amongst themselves. Nevertheless, he refused to give me safe conduct, for which 1 bad been hoping all this time, and declared that no civilian cou.d he admitted within the lines. One thing he did, he gave me a launr-panner for that day, and I wended my way back again through the huge camp I was forbidden to enter, and ''taring a letter of reproof to my cap tors; the which, however, I did not trouble to pre sent my elf, but sent by a gendarme, wending my way oack to Motz once more a free man. At a distance A LARGE CAMP IS VERT I'k'TfJKESQUE, but it is most decidedly distance tnt lends enchant n.ent to the scene; and the smell has a bjuquet about it unrivalled even by your own "slums" la Manchester. Sanitary arrangements seem to be utterly ignored, and the only good thing about it is that there is no overcrowding. Were it otherwise, the most deadly part of war would be the en campment of the soldiers. The tents are pitched at about live yards apart, where tho ground allows of it, each about three feet high at the apex, aud opeu at one or botb ends. On the ground is shaken down a few armfuls ol straw, wheu it can be procured, the knapsack forms a pillow, and two men squeeze them -selves in as best they may. What the condition of that tent on a wet night may be can be Imagined. Tn saturated clothes of the men Just, on their march, the tent cover rendered impervious to ventilation by the wet, the draiuage from the tents above soak ing down into tho lower ones must make the atmos pliure deadly poison; and 1 believe an enormous proportion of sick were sent home to Paris just before I reached Metz; and there axe a great number in hospital here ready again. The great safeguard of a French encampment is its extreme mobility, and immediately a place becomes too foul ; to live on and it very soon does that it la moved to I ano'ber location. Of course this can only be done i ten plenty of available ground Is gbtauiaOle.whioli at present Is the case on the undulating gro ind round Metz. Tne spaoe Is, however, rapidly be romlng leps only three miles in one direction, and in no other more than seven miles, are nowavalable. The Prussians, day by day, seem to thicken round us, and day by day brings the great carnage nearer. To-day heavy cannonading has been going on be- fond Borny since 4 o'clock this afternoon. Whilst am writing this heavy fusillade Is taking place, and I fancy I detect the rapid rolling sound of the mltrall'eur. I am now rushing off to nnd out what 1 can, but the streets are almost lmpissable to-day, even on Toot. Thousands of troops are passing through the town towards the Camp St, Mania, on the western side of the Moselle, to which the Em peror's carriages and personal attendants passed this morning. Opposite the door or my hotel stand the reserve ammunition wagons of Marshal Bizaitie's corps; and the fourgons of the Intendancy, with the treubure, are ready to start at any moment, GEXEKAL TKOlilU. Ills Kepatatlon as a Literary IHnn. Park, Aug. si A few particulars concerning General Troche, the new Governor of Paris, may ie not uninteresting, lie is the author of a remark able book npon the French army, the matter and style of which are highly praised oy competent critics. An objection to it is railed upon the ground of its being pervaded by a religions spirit, which is alleged to interfere, at times, with tie otherwise clear perception of the writer. It is a singular ob jection, and shows what are the sentiments of his critics. The General is a devout Koman Catholic, and asserts that "the soldier who Is a practical be liever the Breton especially, makes the most valiant trooper of the army, because he has faith in the immortality of the soul, and this faith in a resurrection helps him to die bravely and well." One might, on reading these views, Im agine one's self thrown back bodily into the old Puritan times, with the "Praise Qod Barebone'' regiments over again in the flesh. The General's theory is stoutly denied, and probably the hard hearted critics are nearer the mark than the Gene ra), when they say, somewhat irreverently, that "la front of the enemy a soldier is more intent upon killing his foe and saving his own skin than upon thinking of the safety of his soul." Trochu's bo'ik Is a formal, energetic, uncompromising protest against favoritism in any form, the abuses and perils .of which he points out with unsparing pen. His quill is like a lancet. It probes the sore to the very bone. Be denounces red-taptara, routine, old-notion commissions, and the whole system of the military administration of the empire, which, if persisted in, "will imperil France should she be seriously at tacked.''! orbach,Welssenburg,and Helschotrenseem to have justified the veteran, though young, Gene ral's forebodings. This outburst against the ad ministration of Marshal Leboeuf, a thorough parti san of the old system, brought him into disrepute with the ex-Mlnlster of War, who set him quite aside. When "men" came into request after the recent reverses, Trochn found his place. He stands in repute as a tactician, although he has never manoeuvred with more than a division, and then only at the end of a battle. At Magenta, where he greatly distinguished hlmscir, the Austrians were already retreating when he appeared upon the field. AtSolferlno, Ills battalions wore most skilfully dis posed for striking the last decisive blow, ills ad vance suddenly arrested by the territlc storm was one of the finest movements of the day. His division was always regarded as a csrtaln. solid reserve, to be thoroughly depended upon. At Sevas topol he led an assault on the left of the fortress, at the head of a brigade, and was disabled by a severe wound. As aide-de-camp to Bugeaud, and chief of Saint Arnaud's stair, he gained a largo and valuable experience of the combinations the march of an army necessitates, and though he had no op portunity tn the Crimea, nor in Italy, of applying his knowledge practically, upon a large scale, his ma noeuvres at Magenta aud Solferlno demonstrated that he had thoroughly understood the general plan of these battles, and determined his own movements upon it with mathematical precision. In a subordi nate manner, he it was who presided over the battle of the Alma, lie noticed the delay or the English advance, and he suggested the change of plan this delay rendered necessary. His antecedents, his thorough honesty, his kind and conciliatory manner, Ms well-known courage and indomitable energy and firmness, Inspire the Parisians wltb the fullest confi dence in him, and "Paris sleeps tranquil." AUSTRIA AND RUSSIA. Rumored Alllanre Dancer to the Poles Reasons lor Russia's Attitude. The Vienna correspondent of the L'juttern Budget tays, writing on the 19th ult. : The Austrian nationalities cannot get over their fear of Russia. Hitherto they have leared her as an enemy ; now they fear her as a friend. The supposi tion that Count Chotek's long journey from St. Petersburg to Vienna was undertaken for some ot ter object than change of air has put the Hungarians in a ferment of alarm. The J'esther Lloyd fears that some negotiations are in progress which might lead to an alliance with Russia. Such an alliance, it says, could only be effected at the expense of the Poles; and it warns the Government against the consequences or Its supposed policy. Until lately, it proceeds, the Poles had the best prospect of ob taining an extensive autonomy, but a sudden change has now taken place in the intentions of the Uovernment, and Count Potocki, at the moment when the wishes of his countrymen were to be leaiized, maintains an impenetrable reserve. The alarming reports are also reproduced by the German organs, but they do this, apparently, less from fear of Prussia, or love for the Poles, with whom they have as yet shown but little sympathy, than from a certain weakness for Prussia. As yet. however, there have been no trustworthy symptoms of such a change in the relations between the Prusslau and Austrian Governments. That it was considered possible, is only shown by the belief of our national politicians that the force of events might lead to rapinuchewent, though they are unable to hazard any conjectures as to the occasion, value, or extent or it. This is due in a great measure to the ignorance which prevails here as to the real state of things In Prussia. Those who observe and understand the course of Prussian ail'alrs cannot doubt for a moment that the initia tive of a friendly arrangement need not proceed from the Austrian Government If people did not undervalue the power which public opinion has ob tained in Prussia during the last few years, they would perceive that the attempt to etfect a rap yrcchewient is not based on new absolutist projects, but simply on the identity of the interests of the two etr.tcs in the presence of the dangerous aggrandize ment of Prussia. We have seen that at the begin ning of the war the Russian U-ivernraent was strongly disposed to take sides with Prussia, and that it was only when, the national organs unani mously pointed to the danger caused to Kussla by the pangernianlst idea that a change occurred, and the government entered on a path lu which Austria could pot but meet it. To call this a diplo matic conspiracy agaiust the freedom of the European peoples is gbylWBly absurd. As for the Poles, It Is a stereotyped accdBaliod SZtJ !e Uovernment that it wishes to throw them as a bait to Russia. The defeats of France have given Kussla a suinclent guarantee that the Polish question can not now be so easily or so quickly revised, and she need not therefore trouble herself about the extent of the concessions which are to be given to Olallcia. Whether it would be advisable, at a moment when the autonomy of Austria herself has to be protected against Prussia, to give the Poles a sufficiently large autonomy to enable them to attack Russia, is a question which it is for the Austrian Government alote to decide. PARIS. The Carpet Knlfhts French military Vanity The 1-llshl ol Olllvler. A Paris correspondent of the New York Evening JW writes: As is asserted, on French authority, the health of the Prussian army is far from good. Exposure without tents, the heavy rains, and the quantities of unripe fruit eaten while on the march, have pro duced something not unlike cholera, and this, added to the difficulty of obtaining good provisions, tell heavily upon the patriots wue have not been inured to the privations of a professional soldier's life, like their enemies. One of the first acts of Marshal MacMahon, after his successful retreat from Woerth to Chalons, was to send eighteen battalions of the Mobile back to Paris. Nominally this was to garri son the capital and allow these new soldiers to be organized out of harm's way; tn reality it was to get rid of a very troublesome contingent, whose ex ample would have beeu pernicious to the other corps. During Ganrobert's administration these "hopes of France" bad gotten quite beyond all control. The proletarian element murmured at the privileges grauted to their aristocratic comrades, and the ruE, although ready enough to tight, were syba rites whose experiences of hardship lu the post were generally of the crumpled rose-leaf kind. Every body complained of insufficient food and of lodg ings swarming with vermin. But Jacques aud Antoine were dlssatlsfjed because they were obliged to submit to these trials aud discomforts while Oscar and Alfred could get permission to take their meals at a hotel aid have their boots eleaned by a groom In livery, and could drive over the camp or into the fceiKhburing city in a well-appointed Vlotorla seated by Us tide of Madame Lais or Mile Aspasla, flaunt- i lng It ont in all trie glories of satin and diamonds. The fact is that the Moitrmelon might bava been railed a snrrnrsal of Mabilleand the Pre auiClercs, and so MacMahon, seeing that he must either shoot a score of brawlers as examples, or else smd them awav altogether, elected In favor of the latter. They wen'totr patriotically gay from Paris, but how much more llvelt they were when they were ordered back! Not even did the decree that they must leave their knapsacks, to replace those lost by MauMahon's men in their retreat. aiT.ct their spirits; indeed, they were rather relieved than otherwise, because it was a sort of promise that they would not be sent further on towards the front. So tncy rolled np their things In blankets and tied them on their manlv shoulders and went on their way rejoicing, and were met at their entrance to Paris and con gratulated upon their sacriiic?s, etc. etc. At pre sent these heroes are at St. Maur in process of or ganlzation. This completed, they will go to the detached forts around the city; and here they will do good service, for they are intelllgent,and although wi hont the confidence in each other which keeps trained soldiers In their places shoulder to shoulder, like a wall of Iron, they will do as well as veterans behind ramparts, andean (ire a gun or stop a bullet just as well as though they had been ten years In the service. . ADOPT 0I.LIVIER. The wretched Olllvler has left France for pastures new, and has gone to study the scenery of the Lake of Conio with nis young wife. Never has there been such a collapse, in every sense of the word, as this pedagogue, whose most serloHS victory has been over fashion, In that he succeeded In cramming Mrs. E. Olllvier's high-necked dresses and long sleeves down people's throats at grand balls, on the plea of republican simplicity. He was hooted at every pro vincial railway station, and although he hod done more to plunge the country Into Its present condition than any other man In France, before he left he had the assurance to Bend ud to the Kmpiess a list of names of his friends for decorations on the Empe ror's fete day, the 15th August. it is a natutal step from the creature to his crea tor. Olllvler was put in by "Plon Plon," and now this individual, with a mind freed from all financial fears, has been sent to employ his really fine diplo matic talents in persuading his father-in-law to send those 100,000 soldiers promised by Victor Emanuel to France. "Put not thy trust in princes" is but too true; the poor King dares not move a foot to help his friend, although he thinks that he Is under some obligations to him for the conquest of Lombardy and the allowed annexation of the ductile" tn lsa9. Un fortunately for this view of tho case, Prussia too has some claims to Italian gratitude, for she wrested . Venetia irom the Austrians, and did not even ask for an equivalent Tne cession or savoy ami Nice to France has always rankled in tho Italian mind, and quite a large party hint plainly that these provinces must be restored, and that they will be only a fair price for Italian aid on either side. FRENCH MILITARY VANITY. The French paperscall the attention of the mili tary authorities to the excellent system adopted by the enemy in its reconnotssances, and say that while French commanders are nearly always taken by sur prise the Prussians are perfectly well informed of the whereabouts of their adversaries. This Is In a great degree owing to the vanity of the French offi cers, who think that they can atlorrt to despise all lnfoimation and every suggestion not coming from one of themselves. Ilelore Woerth a captain on outpost duty was warned by the peasants that a body Of Lillians were cuiung me leiegrapn wires and destroying the railroad, ills oj,ly answer was: "What's that to me Q V re que ca me fait we are not lighting with the telegraph, are we ?" It Is very different on the other side ; there no piece of inforiratlon is disregardsd, and a detach ment at once proceeds to investigate the truth of every report. The reconnolssances are made by small bodies of picked horsemen under t he command ol a chief of intelllgence.who can always find among his troopers some one who has been born near the frontier, or whose trade previous to the war had brought blm Into relations with the country and its Inhabitants. With such a guide it is Impossible to make mistakes, and as each scout Is furnished with a colored print of the various uniforms in the French armv, he is able to inform the authorities exactly what they wish to know.

Prussian Discipline and Order Morale and feeling of the Commanders. Having given some of the proclamations issued by the commanders of the German army corps, on as Burning their respective commands, it may be proper to give a few specimens of such army orders as were Issued at the time of entering the enemy's domain. They speak well for the discipline of the troops and for the humanity which guides their leaders, all in striking contrast to the repeated Instances of cruelty and insubordination in the French army. General Stelnmetz Issued the following army order before passing the French boundaries : Soldiers of the First Army: By command of his Ma jesty we Khali to-morrow enter Fremiti territory. Let u. hail tuie first result of oar own severe labors aud ef the wisdom of our royal chief with a hearty hurrah. Your patriotism, courage, and just pride, wbica forbid you tamely to allow the insulu of an assuming enemy to pass nnresented, are for me an ample pledge for your Kod conduct in the impending war. You will yourselves agree that the peace-loving inhabitants stand under the protection of humanity, of Prussian discipline, for the observance of botb of which I confide in you. Wherever the enemy is to be met let him be attacked with the utmost vigor. It is a well known order of battle that the cavalry muke the tint onset. When the thunder of the cannons is luard let no one be found idle ; bat let each body of troops at ome direct their march thitherward, and, having arrired on the held of batt'e, endeavor to grasp intantly the plan of action, that they may intelligently and without daisy join the engagement. Let me remind jou also that what can be accomplished in onedaymuet never occupv tw. linly great energy will bring about great events and htsten the return of peace, with which God will rrnwn our victory. 8TKINMKTK, Commtnder lu-Cbief of the lot Army.

Bept. 13, 1870. J The local money market exhibits no now fea ture or substantial change. The nsual bank statement last night shows a slight falling oil la deposits, legal tenders nnd specie, but it is not ot a character to affect the tone of lenders in any appreciable degree. The increase of over t3,C00,0OO in the clearings shows that the grow ing ease which we have noticed for several days proceeds from a tendency n the part of the banks to expand their transactions conse quent upon the passing away of all fears of a ferlous stringency during the balance of the fall. Rates are about the Bame as yesterday both on call and time loans. The war question in Europe appears to have been fully discounted in the gold market, and it is doubtful if the announcement of peace to-day would vary the premium one-half per cent.
