GUERIONIZIE sod bin employees a world of troub:e if we make a clean breast of it, and mirew at me* that we are is the habit of reading their compositioas from left to right, in Hebrew fashion, in the hope ef taking the most ambiguous phrases in reverse. Aker nearly eight years' experience we begin to reed the riddles of the Sphinx between the lines bat the process is a tedious one, and we are heartily sick of playing (Ecliptic IVe homy too well the machinery of publicity se It is worked soder the Empire, the system of premed tory recommendations which are not warnings, the lithogesphie sheets of eirnlent insult to allies, the suborned correspondence of M.

When, therefore, the official journal of the French Empire Ripe the mi..ioa of M.

It is not until the delegates of the Exeraoa's household have failed ins their mission of conciliation and pens/micro, tot until the neutral States have proposed • Co*.' Knee, not 'Atli the fugitive Dukes have returned to Viene•, set until the elections in Tuscany. Modesa, Perms, end the Romegnaa are known, that the Afo•iteur of the French Empire deigns to teU us truly all its tears and all its disappointment at the torn which Italian affairs have taken since the armistice. We see no reason to disown on the part of our Italian friends the conduct which has displeased the Afoxileur. They have presumed it is true te take the word of an Emperor in its literal sense, and to disregard the afterthought of the apologists of Villafranea. They have acted as if it were the decision of the Liberator that Italy should be free from the Alps to the Adriatic, and hare accepted the invitation to be the free citi zens of a great nation, forgetting that the &nisi= was reversed, and the invitation recalled. How were the Twacane, the Parmesans, the 'Madsen', and the Eonsagnola to know two months ago that the Emperor of AUSTRIA had promised to grant concessions on a lugs scale to Venetia? Nothing of the kind was even underlined is the Villatranca programme ; nor was it even whispered that the return of the Dukes was a eine qua cow. M. DZ Reaves and M. PONIA TOWSKI may have beim instructed to hold out the Emperor of Atneera's beneficent reservations is favour of Venetia as a bait to the simplicity of the populations of Cents"( Italy; but it was not until Central Italy had provided for its own safety and asserted its own independence that even this de oorona subterfuge was so much as invented. The Moniteur has been so long accustomed to address an audience of voluntary dupes, that even in the early autumn of the year which has witnessed the declaration of war against Austria, and the Milan proclamation to Italy, it has the courage to write without shame that " that portion of the tre►ty of Villatranoa, " not having been carried out "—which was sever beard of until now, and which even the French EISPRROR would have shrank from announcing to his army at Valkggio—namely, the return of the Archdukes under Austrian auspices—" Austria will " Ind herself freed from all engagements whatever "in favour of Venetia;" which engagements have been hitherto kept • profound secret between a couple of Emperors. The clauses of the Convention of Vtllafranca have been published, and their authenticity has not been denied ; they gave to Austria a grasp of Italy which she had never yet possessed ; to Sardinia a defenceless frontier; to the Papal misgovernment a new conseention ; to the Duchies an insulting compromise; to Venetia desolation and despair. And now the Noniteer declares that if after the con clusion of peace the destinies of Italy had been entrusted to men who had more at heart the future of their common country than little partial successes, the aim of their endeavours would have been to develop and not to obstruct the conoquences of the treaty of Viliafranca. The little partial incomes" are, forsooth, the independence of Tuscany, of Parma, Modena, and the Duchies. What the development of the treaty of Villafranca might hare been we can only judge by what its clauses are. " And then"—if the Docile, had freely consented to the return of the Austrian brakes—" Venetia " would have been placed in the same position " as Ltixeushosrg to Holland." At what pre cise moment this marvellous historic analogy wee discovered we skald like to know. We always fancied that Luxembourg formed part of the Om manic Confederation, though attached to the Om of Holland. Is it pretended that Venetia, belonging to an Italia confederation in which Austria should be predomiaant, and attached to the Crown of Austria, would he in the same position as Luxembourg? The mrre•t si-Luo:boy will laugh this " Idea" to scorn. It is a MCI) late to fabricate a compromise which would have exposed its inventors to derision. had it been devised at a moneat whim compromise woo sot impossible. The Moislargr, even in its happiest moments of soft epeakiog, nothing if sat sinister. It is good enough to vouchsafe the assurance that the Archdukes will sot he restored by foreign force; but, by way of compensation, it adds that " iaatead of • policy " of reconciliation sad peace, a folio( of detente " and hatred will be seen to reappear, which win "entail goat miifortaner." In other words, the intr Kate of the reconciled Emperors will continue to Ginn ni troub'es as • pretext for foreign interytn'i ar-1 no wonder a Coogros "which " we hail witi. a.. our wishes," is hardly expected ender these encouraging tinniest/Lees to obtain better conditions for Italy. A voice from Bt. esavenr, admonished, no doubt, by the peaceful and charitable isflueneas of that favoured region, beourrisintly admits that " it would not be right to ask from • " great Power important concessions without offering ' " equitable compeesatio•s." Barely it is a pity that this very just reflection had not occurred to its author lut New Year's-day. It is true that the real and the ostensible objects of a war are not always identical, and that when the question is of peace or war is a matter of one man's convenience, it is apt to depend on considerations which have very little to do with what the ilforsifessr calls " an Idea ;" unless it be an idea that an Emperor NAPOLZoN is bound to prove himself • General, to show that he can stand fire, and to make &campaign of Italy ; not to mention the urgent demand for • •ew miss en seine on fit. Napoleon's Day. If, then, war be indeed the only way to resolve the difficulty which the Peace of Vill•faaoa has rather exasperated than resolved, Europe u well as Italy has • right to complain. A nation that professes to fight for "an " Ides " ought at least to fight with • tolerably clear idea of all possible conseqnenoes, whether on the Miceli, or the Rhine. The only nation in Europe that fights for " an Idea" ought at least to " amen " plish its task." Now, comparing the article of the Mossffeur dated the 9th of August, with the Milan proclamation, who bat an Emperor would have the mango to say that " France has accomplished her "task in Italy." It is not, we hasten to ',knowledge, the fault of France that her task remains ammo= ' plashed ; neither, perhaps, is it the fault of France that the teak was undertake• by her EM PIRO& the Thursday night three thousand of the inha bitants of Huddersfield, adopting a resolution pro posed by Mr. FRANK CRO&SLET, and seconded by Mr. EDWARD BAINEA, declared their conviction that " the present is • favourable time for the settlement "of the Reform question, and that it will be the " dety of eases and earnest Reformers of all shades " of opinion to unite in Desisting to carry the best " Bill which it may appear practicable to obtain in " the ensuing session of Parliament" This is the kind of lupine which her MAJESTT'S Ministers may expect to hear and read mach in the course of the next few months; for Huddersfield, which, triumphing over calumny, perjury, and conspiracy, has seated Mr. Le:trate in the House of Commons, is not more bent on obtaining Parliamentary Reform than scores of boroughs which hare yet to make their vac" heard this autumn. This time last year the people were looking forward with languid, be ca use distrustful, curiosity to the appearance of the project which Mr. DISRAELI was supposed to be elaborating in wan renal recess. Now the coun try sees triad reformers In office, and confidently expects • real Reform Bill. This time list year I the Liberal party wee divided by the memory of un happy disputa, and still more by misconceptions which only • little tr•akeeea was needed to remove; now, without sny sacrifice of independence, it is united, for if some, whose liberality we need not im peach, stand aloof, their number is too insignificant to be taken into account. Everything is the condition of our domestic stun invites the Ministry boldly to improve the occasion and identify themselves with the success of a inessare which shall give satisfaction to the claims of these who are at present without cause shut out hues the exercise of the electoral franchise. As is eotissd in the HuddenSeld resolution, the present state ot the representation has now been condemned by the leading Statesmen of all parties. The sub mission of a Reform Bill by a Tory Government last year materially changes the position of the question. If Reform was desirable last year, when the present defective condition of cur representative system bad advocates, it is necessary now that its ez officio defenders acknowledge that the time has 03110111 for its improvement. It is a con sequence of this admission that the House of Commons as at present constituted does not repre sent so much of the reason of the country as ought to concur to generate our laws, and direct or control our administration ; and so far as this is the case our legislation lacks fora and our policy wants aim. The tranquil state of the country war very pro perly assigned at Huddersfield as a cardinal reason for considering the present time favourable for the settlement of the Reform question. It is a brutal and barbarons notion—a legacy of times of vio lence and strife—that no concession of political power is to be made except when its denial would be dan gerous to civil peace. Every year that is marked by progress in the education of youth, in acquaintance with public affairs, and in the cultivation of a civic spirit, inclines men more and more to rely on reason and jastiee, and indisposes them to expect adv antage in vulgar displays of mere power. Demonstrations of that kind au never made until injustice has become mesa than ordinarily arbitrary and extravagant, and then they never take place without danger. Now, white peace abroad and peace at home laays u completely masters of ourselves, is the Use to redress those grievances which may look both larger and darker than at present if they are lento be examined in the gloomy twilight of general anxiety and distress. We owe it to our reputation to mark plainly be fore the world the progress' which the nation has made since 1832 in all those qualities which have made our capacity for 'elf-government the admira tion of mankind. Citizenship should be the seal, se it is a stimulant, of public virtue. The pauperism and ignorance which were urged thirty years ago against the extension of the suffrage to persons not living in 101. holm* are rapidly dis appearing. Almost every year shire the passing of the Reform Bill has witnessed some fresh effort in the way of popular education. It has been a period prolific beyond precedent in measures of social and commercial reform. By the influence of emi gration on the one hand, and the repeal of the Coen Laws on the other, the material condition of the people has bees raised, so that we are in a state of high prosperity. By the vigorous impulse given to popular instruction the area of direct education has been greatly extended, while the means of indirect education have been multiplied a thou sandfold. The usenfranchised classes are now fir more intelligent, prudent, industrious, and re flective than they were thirty, twenty, or ten years ago. No popular system can work well which keeps out of the pale of citizenship a large and in telligent class of men who are, and who know and feel that they arc, entitled to take their part in the concerns of the nation to which they belong. The propenty of admitting them has been so gene rally acknowledged, that to refuse them entrains sow would be anything but conservatism, whatever it might be called a few years ago. There is nothing so safe as justice.

C 711021 0171 owx PARIS, PIIDAY BYINTWO, A bomb has fallen among us this morning in the shape of the article in the Mont . /ewe, of which the substance at least will, long ere this, have been tele- graphed to London. Accustomed as we have of late become to surprises, people are too much astounded to argue the matter coolly and every fresh com mentator gives almost a fresh shade of opinion on it. Quot no:nines, tot *enteritis. All, however, agree in this—that it is the result of the famous visit of Prince Metternich to St. Sauvenr, and is the em bodied realisation of those vague terrors which have during the last two or three days haunted the public mind. Here, indeed, is a further complication of the Italian question with a vengeance! To be sure, according to the Pays, all that has been said about Prince Metternich's journey and the Austrian nego- tiations is " pure invention;" but, unluckily, the opinion of the Pays in these matters goes for very little. The Sleets was so little prepared for the article in the Moniteur that it says: The power are on the point of locoing to en tinder strutting on the conditions of a congress. Austria alone hesitates, in the fear of being condemned by this European tribunal. But we have raven to believe that she will not persevere in her resistance. She must be convinced that the propositions she ha made through M. de Metternich are completely inadmissible Aa for submitting to the Negress the question of the restoration of the Prison, it seems to us impasible. The peopke have pronounced themcelvee with so much unanimity against the families which have governed them, that the great powers could not possibly think of reacting against this Irresistible demon stration, and doing violence to an entire nation. The seruthty has spoken. Clear end categorical questions have been submitted to the electors. The prince, the most deeply imbued with dynaelic Memo, weld not dream of imposing the Duchess of Perms upon 73,000 inhabitants, when hardly 800 voices have been raised be her behalf. The Debate probably had an " inspiration " that something was in the wind, for not one single politi cal opinion does Paradol enunciate in this day's leader. I believe I can with confidence assert that the article which is destined to arouse the astonish ment and indignation of Europe from one end to the other is written by M. de Walewski, upon notes by the Emperor, and brought to Paris by Prince Metternich. There cannot, therefore, be the slightest doubt that it is a mani festo deliberately given to the world of the policy to be henceforth adopted by the French government in the Italian difficulty, as we may now well term it. Whether this indicates an entirely new policy, or the entry upon a new phase of the Italian question, already foreseen and calculated ; whether it signi fies an alliance of principle with Austria, or merely a plan hastily organised for trenching at ones the Italian question; whether it is to be considered • defiance hurled at the principle of liberty and nationality, or simply • check which the Emperor his thought fit to administer to the over eager peoples of Italy; whether it is meant to offend England and Piedmont, or only to conciliate the Pope and the retrograde party, none will in the con- I fusion and uncertainty which reign around venture to pronounce. And, indeed, of all these explanations, one seems scarcely more satisfactory than the other. Hitherto, in the surprises prepared for the world by Napoleon 111., there has usually appeared at the very first glance some obviously defined motive, as well as some decided future policy. In the present instance all seems dark and unexplained. I, for one, cannot admit the possibility of a denial of the popular principle and political association with one who rules by right divine—more especially as such association would be offensive to one and all of the great powers. The intimate alliance, then, of Napoleon 111. with Austria presents itself to me in the light of a deliberate dynuticide. The practical consequences immediately arising out of this manifesto appear* to be that there will be no congress—that if the un grateful people of Central Italy refuse to take back their princes Austria is at liberty to consider the stipulation of Villafranca as unfulfilled, and may act accordingly—that if she should think fit to force these pretenders upon these un grateful peoples at the point of the bayonet she may do so, for that, defend Italy who may, France bas done enough, and washes her hands of the whole business. The treatment of this momentous article by the evening journals is significant to the initi ated. Not a comment, save a triumphant chuckle in the Pays. "It suffices to observe that it is not the Pays, Journal of the Empire, which has erred in taking for the base of its policy the preliminaries I signed at Villafranca by the two Emperors." The Patrie briefly preface' the article with the remark that it will have no less a ffect in France than in Italy. The Opinion Nationale enters at some length into the subject, but with a caution that proves how ardent are the ashes beneath the surface. The ultramontane auette de France of course dances a frantic war dance of victory. And while the thunderbolt was forging at St. tia (for on little deserving of its name) what are the devoted victims about? We read in the Florence oorree pondence of the Press—" The Tuscan government has decided to regard the answer of the King of Piedmont as sufficiently formal, and that offici►l acts are to be at once drawn up consecrating each inter pretation." The effect of this affair at the Bourse was trifling to what it would have been, were there any real activity—or any monetary transactions of the leest importance. It might have been imagined that the assurance that France would not again take up arms for Italy, would have had a qualifying effect—but not so. People plainly say,—lt is evident that England and France will henceforth espouse different sides of the Italian difficulty. I may add that the general question now is, " What will England do ?" Some add, " Will England step in and reap what we have sown ?" The fall at the opening was rather heavy, but a report that the Zurich conferences were likely to end in a new treaty checked it. Rentes left off at 68fr. 35c. cash, 08fr. 60c. account, a fall of 43a. for both cub and account. Mobiller, 805 fr. and 808 fr. 76c., a fall of 10tr. and Bfr. 760. THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND ITALY. (From the Mem4sur) When hots spook foe themselves; it seems at first sight that there is little to be gained by explaining them. Nevertheless, when passion or intrigue die tort the simplest thing', it becomes necessary to set their character in a true light, in order that every one may form an intelligent judgment of the mum of events. In the month of July last, when the Frew:o f:Sardinian end Austrian armies were face to face be tween the Adige aid the Nlincio, the chances were nearly equal on both aides, for if the I'w:co-Sar dinian army had on its side the moral influence of acquired mass, the Austrian army was numerically stronger, and rested not only on formidable fortresses but also on all Germany, which was ready at the Brat eigoal to make common cause with her. Had this eventuality been realised, the Emperor Napoleon would have been obliged to withdraw hie troops from the Minato and transfer them to the Rhine, and then the Italian erase for which the war was under taken would have been, if not loot, at lead placed in great danger. In these grave circumstances the Emperor thought it would be for the good, Ent of Pianos and then of Italy, to conclude peace, provided its aonditions could be conformed to the programme he had adopted and useful to the cause he desired to —. The first thing to asoartain was if Austria would cede by treaty the territory which had been con. quwed ; the second, if she would frankly abandon the supremacy she had acquired in the Peninsula; if she would acknowledge the principle of an Italian nationality by admitting a federative system ; finally, if she would consent to endow Venetia with institutions which would make it a truly Italian province. As to the first point, the Emperor of Austria ceded the conquered territory without contest; as to the second, he promised the most ample concessions to Venetia, admitting for the example of its future organisation the position of Luxembourg towards the Germanic Confederation, but he made these con. cessions strictly conditional upon the return of the Areltdukes to their states. Thus the question was laid down very clearly at Villafranca; either the Emperor must ask nothing foe Venetia, and :content himself with the advan tages acquired by arms, or, in order to obtain im portant concessions and he acknowledgment of the principle of nationality, he must give his consent to the return of the Anthdukes. It was good sense then which traced the line he was to follow; for it wee not • question of bringing back the Arch dukes by the aid of foreign troops, but, on the con trary, to restore them with real guarantees by the free will of the people, who would be made to under stand how completely their return would be for the good of the great Italian country. The foregoing is in a few words the real explana tion of the negotiation at Villafranca, and to every impartial mind it is evident, that the Emperor Na poleon obtained by the treaty of peace as much as, and perhaps more, than he had acquired by arms. We must even distinctly acknowledge that it was not without a feeling of profound smypathy, that the Emperor Napoleon saw with what frankness and re solution the Emperor Francis Joseph renounced, for the sake of European peace, and in the desire of re-establishing good relations with France, not only one of his fairest provinces but even the policy— dangerous, perhaps, it may have been , but in any case not devoid of glory—which had secured to Austria the dominion of Italy. In fact, if the treaty were sincerely carried out, Austria was no longer for the Peninsula that hatile and formidable enemy that bsffied all the national aspirations, from Puma to Rome and from Florence to Naples ; but, on the contrary, she became a friendly power, sine* she freely consented to be no longer a German power on this side of the Alpe, and to develop Italian nationality as far as the shores of the A.driatie. From the preceding it is easy to comprehend that if, after the peace, the destinies of Italy had been confided to men more intent on the future welfare of their common country than on petty partial sucoeeaes, the object of their effort. should have been to develop and not restrict the consequences of the treaty of Villafranca. What dare simple and patriotic, in feet, than to say to Austria: " You desire the re tain of the Archdukes? Well, be it so; but then fulfil loyally your promisee concerning Venetia ; let her receive a life proper for herself ; let her have an Italian administration and army ; in one word, let the Emperor of Austria be on this side of the Alps nothing more than the Grand Duke of Venetia, just as the King of the Netherlands is for Germany merely the Grand Duke of Luxembourg." It is even possible that, as the result of trunk and friendly negotiations, one might have induced the Emperor of Austria to adopt combinations more in harmony with the wishes manifested by the Duchies of Modena and Parma. ----- - The Emperor Napoleon, after what had passed, was justified in relying on the good sense and the patriotism of Italy, and in believing that it would understand the motive of his policy, which may be briefly stated u follows :—" Instead of risking a European war, and consequently the independence of his emu by; instead of expending three hundred millions (of francs) more, and shedding the blood of fifty thousand of his soldiers, the Emperor Napoleon accepted a peace which sanctions, for the first time foe ages, the nationality ofthe Peninsula. Piedmont, which represents more particularly the Italian cause, finds her power considerably augmented; and if the confederation be established she will play the principal part therein; but one only condition is an nexed to all these advantages—it is the return of the old sovereign houses to their Sutra." This language, we still believe, will be understood by the sound-minded portion of the netion ; for otherwise, what will happen? The French Government has already declared the Archdukes will not be restored to their States by a foreign force, but a part of the conditions of the peace of Villafranca not having been executed, the Emperor of Austria will find himself released from all the engagements made in favour of Venetia. Harassed by hostile demonstrations on the right bank of the Po, he will maintain a war footing on the left bank; and in stead of a policy of conciliation and pesos we shall see a policy of distrust and of hatred revive, which will entail new troubles and new misfortune.. Great hopes seem to be entertained of a European congress, and we heartily desire it; but we much doubt if a Congress will offer better conditions for Italy. A Congress will only demand what is. jest; and would it be just to demand of a great power important concessions without offering in return suitable compensations? The only issue would be war ; but let not Italy be mistaken. There is but one power in Europe which makes war for an idea ; that is France, and France has accomplished her task. WILLS AND BEQUISTS.
