ITALY.

Parliament met' on' tlie 2Otli November. Barori : Bicasoli gave a sketch of proposals made to the Pope for the giving up of his temporal poAver—provision being made by. the government of Italy for liis maintenance, and the King of Italy giving him full power in all matters relating to the Romish Church in the country. These have been rejected by the Pope ; and the French Emperor, in his present embarrassed position, is unable to force matters; so that the French troops remain in Rome. La Marmora has taken the of the troops in Naples,-and brigandage is in a fair way to be. put down,'-; * The ‘ Globe’s ’ Paris letter, speaking of the hopeless expenditure of money “ to foment resistance in Italy to the clearly pronounced national will,” says,—“From Naples Ave learn the subsidence of these efforts ; as to the intelligent class, the Neapolitan bar lias: just-elected ito annual syndics or benchers, and near 400 votes of the profession have placed at the head of the poll such nationalists as Ruggiero Sellino, Liberio Romano,. Na\ r arette, and Salicetti. Other professions must of necessity be of patriot politics, at the risk of forfeiting alLinfluence or support, and the spirit long pervading the clerical order in ; Sicily is fast spreading on the adjacent mainland. ‘Le Monde 5 laments over the clergy of Milan and Lombardy as lost, while in other provinces a like change is going on.”

“ Yenice,” says the ‘ Siecle,’ “ appears likely to become the centre of reaction this winter. The. Count de Chambord, the Duchess de Berry, the ex-Dukes of Tuscany and Modena, and Parma, and the mother of Prancis 11., have decided on taking up their abode in that city. The ex-King and Queen of Naples, with their little, circle of malcontents, are also expected.” -
