The CONDITION OF FITALY.-Late accounts
show that Italy is on the eve of a revolution.
The Pope, the greatest refouner of the age,
has excited spirit which, we hope and trust
will continue 10 rise and extend, till it regen.
crates Italy, and restores its lost nationality.
The Austrian government, controlled and
guided by Meuernich, one of the wickedest
men Of any age, is attempting, fagilious ex-
pedimenis, to check this spirit Of progress
We doubt whether it will succeed in this
If il do not, we may regard the regeneration
of Italy as certain.


All Italy contains about twenty five millions
of people, and though the masses are not very
enlightened, still the educated portion are
highly intelligent and patriotic, and burning
with impatence for the redemption of their
country. Among all classes of Italians The
spirit OF republicansm prevails; fact easily
explained by Italian history. 1t was divided in
TO republics in the middle ages, several of
which existed at the commencement of the
French revolution iu 1889, and two of which
Lucca and San Marno, are still existing
Excepting in Naples, no king was knwn in
Italy, from a shor. period after the destruction
Of the Roman Empire or about the year $50,
till the kingdom oil Sardinia was created a.
bout seventy years ago. lis small States,
Parma, Placensia, Milan, Tuscany and others,
though with arbitrary governments for many
years, had never known an Italian crowned
head, till Napoleon became Emperor OF
France and king of l.aly. And during his ca
reer, he did much 10 reform, resuscitate and
regenerate Italy, bis native country. Hence
the political recollec,ions of the Italians are
much associated with republicanism, and in
any general insurecion, they would natu.
rally rally beneath republican banner
Then if the different States of Italy should
unite under national government, il must
necessarily be Of the federal characier.-
The different States have been 100 long sep
araied for consolidation, ,and monarchy is no
the head for a federal government. Among
the revoluiionists OF 1889, the fayorie pro
ject was a national union as 'The United
States of Italy,


The enemies ofItaly are France and Aus
iria. The latter already possesses Venice
Milan, and some other northern provinces
and is ravenous for more; and Louis Philippe
who hates revolutions in favor of popula
rights, though he began as Jacobie, and i:
indebted 10 popular revolution for bis crown
earnestly opposes the Pope's reformaiions
Then, like the Austrian, the French govern
ment is hungry for territory, and in any con
vultion in Italy, would seize the kingdom
and the island of Sardinia, and the forme
the republic ofGenoa.
