Whether he slmplv uttered his own sen tlments or reilected those of the President is not known.

According to the International Count Bismarck baa forwarded tbe following to the Italian Minister for Foreisn Aifalrs: Monsieur le Comfe: His Majesty.our beloved mas ter, wishes to make known to King Victor Ema nuel's Government bis Intentions re'atiuir to tne change which has taken pi -ice in the friendly and Intimate intercourse which nas existed so long be tween the the Courts. It is not without surprise that bis Majesty sees vour entire nisregarn or ttiosa laws which, among all clvblzed nation, haves always prevented subjects from procuring weapous and arming themselves against another na tion beinir 'actually at neace with them. Such an unherd-of line of conduct wounl lead ns to think that the Government of Florence Intends departing from the neutrality which they bad promised ns to keep before we engaged In the present war; anu, in race, ir ic oe coumaerea mac after making the most flattering promises to ns, you have tlvcn refuge and granted subsidies to a prince of the belligerent house, and that you continue to afford him your diplomatic support iu all his efforts with the various European Cabinets to render our position more dimruit, tnis is certainty not a con duct which can inspire ns with coriidi-nce In the future attitude of the Cabinet of Florence. Prusn a baa keDt lovallv the promise made in lSdU. and it la through her help alone tbat King Victor Kmanuel was able to extend the frontiers of his realm. Very active agents are workintr In the lbertc Peninsula to gather supporters for the candi dature of Prince Aniedeus, of Savoy. His Majesty cannot be indifferent to the consent given by the Florence Cabinet to this candidature, for If In otber times a Prussian influence in spam could cause any fears for the European balance of power, the same peril might exist also with the Italian Influence, enoeclallT as that influence is already established both In Portugal and in France, where the King of Italy bas family connections.
