Show 'resident H ncll ahoii I nler-v nler-v i e wed . New York, 14. President Mtu-Mn-1 bun, in conversation with u eorres-1 pondent, said: ''The real govern-' incut of the country is now vested in j the ministry, and 1 am firmly eon-! viueed thai the only change which . they will introduce into the republic will be to carry out the programme j which the late government proved it-1 self incapable of doing. All are not.' so impolitic as to take steps similar to those taken by pic laje empire, b.uj cvervi-hnig that oaji be done to iiisuru the l'ope's safety, nnd the necessary liberties of all, shall be done. It is j directly against the interests of Italy to expel the Pope from his dominions; , for, were he obliged to take refuge in a foreign country, the Catholics of nil the world would unite in crying shame against Italy, and public qpiniHM wuiild bo agiiimt tho Judian govern-iiient govern-iiient to mu'h an extent that not only would our interference become compulsory, com-pulsory, but might become the signal jor a European war, from which Italy has little to hope and everything to fear.

Out of this hideous scraii;U far power and projit,H wa, the uppermost upper-most thought of my mind, when the otlef of the ollice of the Presidency' was made me, to reorganize the arniv ami make it the bulwark of French liberty. This ought to be tiie aim 0f . even' true Frenchman. There U liu ronton wliy the present lvginie, in its aniendal constitutional form, with a military executive who should reign over the country and rule over the , army, should not become established in France. When tho wHuU ' L:m-pira L:m-pira and liepubhc;i become synoiiy-, synoiiy-, inous with discipliiicveiy citizen a soldier and every soldier a servant ol the republic, there will be as little btrifo and wrangling in the country as U who-bhall be minister na ther is at present as towlioshiill be mar shnl. |
