In a leading article, this morning, which professes to go
upon peculiarly good information, the Times gives a new shape to the intelligence from Rome. It denies that the Pope has demanded the withdrawal of the French troops, but represents the French as unable to endure tiny longer the position of supporting the odious, tyrannical, feeble, and impracticable Government of the Pope; wherefore the Government at l'aris has conveyed to the Pope an intimation "expressing in distinct language, that as the French army can- not be withdrawn from Rome without discredit and a total surrender of its position in Italy to Austria, so neither can it remain there without taking steps to secure to the people of Rome some of the advantages of a better go- vernment." The coolness between the French and the Papal Government has recently come to an open rupture on the distribution of military posts ; and to the threat just cited the Pope has retorted by threatening to retire to the dominions of Naples,—a step intended to tell, through the French clergy and their rustic or more faithful adherents, on the contemplated reiilection of President Bonaparte.
