ITALY.
It is stated that the Italian Government will take upon itself the payment of a proportionate part of the Pontifical debt as it existed in 1860. With regard to the arrears since that period they would be consolidated, and the interest thereon defrayed by Italy.
It is said the King of Prussia has written to the Pope, offering His Holiness the protection of Prussia.
The Italic says: "The Pope having expressed a desire to receive Signor Vegezzi, in order to come to an understanding with him upon certain ecclesiastical questions which formed the subject of negociation last year, especially that of the reduction of the number of dioceses and the appointment of Bishops to the vacant Sees — the Italian Government, averse to opposing his Holiness's wishes, summoned Signor Vegezzi to Florence. This statesman has raised objections to the mission, grounded partly on his ill health, and partly on certain circumstances connected with the questions at issue; but there is reason to believe that these objections will be overcome.
