'would b iog, the most inveterate of our Aeg'o- Anatrisna cannot be blind to the feet that this can never prances the pacification of Italy, but that, on the contrary, It establistes a system of permanent dis quiet, of covert conspiracy, in which f reign govern ments and parties will be always tempted to inter vene, and which would Gil Italy with mints always charged and ready for explosion. Tue present is the time, therefore, for England to give wise counsel—to represent to Austria that by the restoration of the old Italian despotism they do but morally ley open Italy to French interference and influence— to represent to France that by chiming in with Austrian views they become abhorred in Italy and contemned at home—andto represent to.the united Italians that it is only by renderer" conduct and con stitutional demands they can make themselves en titled to the t'lerance and moral support of those governments which are founded on the popular principle. With regard to Toomey, matters might not be dif ficult of adjustment; fur there, amidst the greater portion of the population, the Grind Doke is beloved; and though his policy may not bays been either ()con sistent or wise, still his restoration would spare the country the horrors of Austrian intervention, whilst from a prince so mild and so benign no personal vin dictiveness rr political reaction of a bigot or atrocious kind could be expected. Nothing, indeed, but folly on both aid s could have separated a prince and a . people, whose ideas and interests are so little at variance as thaw of the Tuscans and their Grand Duke. In Rome, unfortunately, the case is far different There, a'oordirg to the traditional regime, it is not a prince that rules, but a corporation—a sacerdotal corporation or college of priests whirrs sole principle and idea is the perpetuation and strengthening of peestly rale, and the confiscation of all power, principle, and property to the one idea—sacerdotal dominitiali. There is, we are con fident, no one amongst us, who has any adequate con ception of the horrors and iniquity of the govern ment, which delivers over the lay and industrious population and their families into the power of the priesthood. The entire system of the Roman govern ment is a net-work of espionage, robbery, corruption, inquisition, and mord( r. Burg in complete ponies eon of the administratio", the police, the courts of justice (if they deserve the name), of the confessional, and even of municipal authority, the Roman priesthood turn all and every influence to their own personal and ekes aggrandisement. Against ' whomsoever opposes them, or calls in qua ion their dogmas, there can be nothing more easy than to raise a prosecution which menaces his property and life. As judgment is situp given according to orders from Rome, and never in relation to the justice of the case, a month suffices foe any man's ruin. All must be ac quainted with the law of fiducia by which a dying man can give his property in trust: to the priest at tending his lest moments, the secret words which the priest declares were uttered by the dying men being considered his valid testament. ibis law alone gives the priesthood the power of dia -1 inheriting any family, and succeeding to any heritage. These are small eampl. a of the intolerable tyranny and corruption of the minty government of Rome. The population of the Roman states have bat one desire, which is to escape from the temporal domina tion of the Pope, not u Pope, but u head of the college of cardinals and priests. They have had abundant proof, that no Pope, however liberal and well-intentioned, can free either them or himself from this fearful domination. Pius the NINTH aid his best. And had he had the power or will to execute the constitution that he gave, something might have been done towards Roman liberation. But it is well known that the constitution remained a dead letter in the hands of Pius, that he reformed neither courts,nor administrations,nor muni cipalities, and that he left the old sacerdotal func tionaries in hill power to nullify the constitution which struck at their iniquitous privileges and diabolical sys tem of tyranny and spoliation. It is supposed, that the party which insisted on real reformation, and which showed its discontent of Pius THE NINTH'S nullity, is merely an ultra democratic faction. Nothing can be more untrue. There is a very large, enlightened, and powerful body of moderate, educated, and wealthy men in the Roman public and assembly—men who care not for a republic, who abhor communism, who desire more than all things protection to property, and who have the one strong conviction that no right, no freedom, and no happiness is possible under the temporal rule of the priesthcod. If that cannot be procured fur them, if no guarantee and preteen- n can be found against that greatest of all curses, men of any wealth or sense or dignity must quit the Roman stater, whilst thou forced to remain will bow their heads to the yoke, eo'ely with Italian determination to avenge them selves at the first opportunity. And we should not be surprised if a Sicilian Irc spore were one day the result. We cannot have a stronger proof of the feelings al the Roman population than their prang again.st the Pope's decree. Pins fulminated an excomeinni cation against those who should vote for derputies to the Assembly. Almost the entire qn-priiiiion instantly rose to deposit their votes the urns, thus showing their contempt of the PnipFs infallibility. That act of he Romans is Lio decidedly protestant as that of the Elector of %amiss, when be upheld LtrrnEn. And wn , now ask, is it not a monstrous pretension for the rulers of e^untries like France and Spain, viiis.ll have confiscated church property and thrown off priestly domination, nay, for the ruler of a country like Aust. ia, which also ehook off sacerdotal interference with politics, to combine at the preient day in what they call a catholic league for the purpose of imposing the worst and most rapacious and most degrading form of sacerdotal rule on the unfortunate r.gion of Central Italy ? If it be disgraceful in even France, Spain, and Austen, catholic governments and countries, to per petrate such an act of tyranny and retrogression, how infamous and absurd, and how opposed to every prin ciple of civil ani religious liberty and enlightenment, must it be in Englishmen to abet and applaud such restorations as those of the inquisition and of papal rale ! SIR ROBERT PEEL has pronounced a second time against the whig policy of letting Ireland let itself right. His phlegmatic cm:mimic., has been stirred at the Economat doctrine of suff, ring the population to die down to the means of sub-istence. "On the whole," he is of opinion that it would be wrong, or at least disreputable, to leave Connaught to its own re sources, imprisoned as those resources have long been and still are by landlord-made law. He is not as yet prepared indeed to siy how far he would go ; but he has come to the decided conclusion that we ought not to stand stock still. He will not undertake any peat of the responsibility of refusing to government such temporary help as they say they , expect to gain from their miserable stap-gap, the Rite in Aid. But he musters courage to ask aloud what everybody ha. for some time been asking himself—When you have accompliehed that—what then? Lord Joim RUSSELL'S hopes that the potato may possibly come round once more do not appear to satisfy Sir ROBERT'S soul. The CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER'Sjaunty talk about im possibilities does not go ? or much with the man, who by experience knows that what is ministerially impossible is just the thing which popular fai h says may be, and popular will says must be, done. Every great change of policy is impossible in a parliamentary sense, until this faith is awakened and th's will pro- claimed. No man understands this better than Sir ROBERT PEEL; and no HMI knows better how to stimulate the one into vigorous life and to evoke the irresistible expression of the other. This was the mean ing of his farmer remarkable speech on the present state of Ireland; this is the cbvions drift of his more recent, and, in some respects, still more remarkable, one. The whigs may wind up their Westbury or gan, and set it a-grinding the old tune of—" I care f or nobody, no not I, for nobody cares for me; " but the calm and impressive voice of the great statsman will be listened for, sy, and will be heard by multitudes throughout the land, whom the hurdy-gurdy rhetoric of mere mechanical politicians will never reach. A sense of the shame and folly of permitting such a region as the west of Ireland to remain year after year in its present bsrbsrous condition will be thereby ere long created in spite of the 'keenness of the more humane, and the levity of the more heartless, of those who now occupy the seats of power. In this point of view the effect of such appeals to ' the people, from the selfishness, blindness, and apathy of parliamentary parties, can hardly be over-esti mated. Oa the other band it cannot fail to be ob served how wavering is the outline of Sir Ron Ear's plan, and how mu ellateous, if not heteroge neous are its component parts; how vague his pledges as t matters of principl-, how mystified his fore shadow logs of dtta 1. Thew is a little of everything that nobody objects ti, bat act much very plain of the kind that is likely to provoke c n rover►y. He would do something in the way of fisheries—but how he, did not say. He would like gr?atly to have model estates d.►tting the country at snitalie inter►als, but who was to hold oe to manage them with any hope of making them pay (without which they mast only serve the uses of agricultural dilettantism) Sr ROBERT did not deign to explain. Then he would like to see something attempted towards encouraging the greater cultivation of flax ; but in what wry even this should be tried, he did not vouchsafe to expound. All these and many other coLtr.butive aids to industrial rt sto ration must be lift to the discretion of a select com mission or plantation court, who, with some of the functions of equity judges and some of the duties of gentlemen farmers, were to cross the Shannon armed with plecary authorisation tn see and determine al that requited to be done, bw, marvellous to relate, without apparently any of the indispensable means whereby all or any part of the good can be accomplished peaceably. CaomwaLL's method is no longer possible. What is PEEL'S P We shall be curious to learn. Apart from these considerations, however, we must not refuse our full acknowledgment of the value we attach to Sir ROBERT'S thorough-going adhesion to the doctrine we have so long insisted on—the sale of land for poor-rates over-doe. We are thoroughly per suaded that this may with truth be termed the key to the entire position. This, too„ is a whip impossibi lity. Of coarse it is. There are so many things to be con sidered, and so many di ffi culties to be got over. The fee-simple of a man's estate is, after all, such a sacred thing; and then the danger of Introducing the prin ciple in one kingdom lest it might some day or other be extended to the other. All landlordism revolts in stinctively at the innovation. No doubt it does; but for all that, the sxoner it makes up its mind to gulp down the unpalatable dose, the better for itself and the rest of the community. For there are few things more certain under the sun than that this salutary though ill-teliehed draught, it will be forest to drain. Finally, upon the subject of the insidious sophism that would, in one form or another, try to eke out an inadequate policy of public relef by the fatal impolicy of publics labour, Sir ROBERT laid aside all cir cumlocutory caution, and gave the unqualified verdict of his reprobation spinet labour-rat -0, or labour-'eats of poverty, in every shape and form. Nothing can be more timely or more useful than such a sentence of condemnation, coming from such an authority. Nothing will tend more to drive men from the delu sive shelter of self-sustaining pauperism into the open field of fearless thought and effort, whereon alone can be fought and won the great social battle of Ireland's industrial liberation and redemption.

Tun news from India by this mail is very different from the last. Then we bend of the British com mander leading his army blindly amidst the ably arranged positions of the Sikhs, and suffering almost defeat at their handy. Now we find the Sikhs frustrated first in their mar.ceuvres, and then beatsn in action. Previously driven to the barren regions of the Ponjaub, Sum Sixon's object seer's to have been to march into the more fertile premium, arouse the population, counteract the effect of the fall of Moultsn, and menace Lahore. For this purpose he quitted his post at Ruseool on the Jhelum, and by a stde march secitp'ng Lord Gouou, the Sikh Birder marched in • north-easterly direction towards the Chenaub. This, however, he was prevented from pasting by the division of General Wni=n opportunely coming up, occupying Itsmonggur and sweeping both sides of the river. The Sikhs in consequence fell back, and took post in the neighbourhood of Gojerat. Here they were attacked, on the 20th, by Lord Gonna, and no doabt by some of the reinforcements that accom panied GeneralWrnsu, and it appears were completely beaten. Had the defeat been a rout, the Sikhs must have taken refuge in GIIOOLAII Suet's mountain territory. Bat u they carried off their guns, it is probable that they have fled across the Jhelum, to rally in the vicinity of Attack. This quite relieves Lahore, as well as the Eastern and Southern Ponjaub from disquietude, and confines the war to the north western portion on both sides of the Indus. Here, unfortunately, the British have not only the follower of Cnorrun Strum to reduce, but our old friends, the Afghans, to expel from the town, fort, and territory of Peshawar. THE worst constoquencal of the dereat and over throw of the King of SARDINIA will not be felt in his dominions. however exhausted by military contribu tions and ruled with temporary rigour, Piedmont is too near to France to admit the return of utter abso lutism.

COLOGNE, MARCH 3.—The deputation appointed by the Frankfort National Assembly to convey to the King of Prussia the intelligence of his election to the imperial crown of Germany, arrived on the 30th nit. in Cologne by one of the steamers. On landing they were greeted with cheers and hisses, the latter greatly predominating. They left the next morning by rail way for Buckeborg (Lippe Detmold), where, as well as at Hanover and Brunswick, they intended to stop for a few hours, passing the night at Mr gdeburg, so that they would not reach Berlin before Monday afternoon. It is probable that the interview with the King will not take place before the following day. The deputation, including the President of the As taxably, oonsists of 32 persons. During thee stay at Cologne on Friday night, a large crowd assembled in front of the Hotel Diach, where they had put up, and treatei them to a chart vari—the famous "cat's music" of the Germane. As it was (eared that other and more hostile demonstra tions might be made (for the democrats of Cologne are all rr publicans), the troops were called out, and they took up positions at the corners of all the streets leading to the above hotel, thus preventing the passage of all persons except those whet resided therein. The journal above quoted states that them, were few demonstrations of joy at Frankfort„sait the an nouncement of the election of an emperpt ; but it adds that in Cassel the entire popnlationi expressed sags: faction at the decision of. Able national assembly, by decorating the honswi with the German tri colourei flag. - HANOVEIL—Nro slight sensation has ben created in the smaller sntostes contiguous to Hanover, by the recent publisSation of a despatch addressed to the Hanover'tan government, under date July 20, 1848. ' In that.. document it is set forth that in all probability few a the duk s or even grand-dukes of Germany would be able to resist the revolutionary shock, and 'that there is a good chance for his Hanoverian ma jesty to aggrandise his territory. It is not stated from what government the despatch in question emanated, bntthere are internal evidences to show that it must have come from Bavaria. SCILLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.—The legislative as sembly of Schleswig was dissolved by the common government on the 26th ult. On the other hand, the commissioner of the central executive of Germany has urged the common government to give up their posts to a directory or stadholdership composed of four individuals. The legislative assembly has approved of this plan, and declared in favour of the election of Herr Iteventlow and Herr Bawler, as two of the mem bers of the above directory. The assembly then broke up, after giving cheers for the two individuals above named. According to the latest amount, the King of Denmark was still in Also:. FRANKFORT, MARCH 29. I have read year article of the 29th, in which you almost reproach me with having too much hope of our good and noble Germany. You will already be aware that I have not deceived myself ; even accord ing to year view of the matte r , wh o regard the elec tion of the King of Prussia es tfic salvation of Ger many. I do not participate in this opinion; but I see clearly that there is no alternative for Germany but to pass through a King-of-Prussia era. If I am Mill taken, and if experience shall show that the King of Prussia is competent to make Germany prosperous and happy, I will rejoice with those who have showed greater prescience than myself; but if I am not mis taken, then Germany will have to pass through this era of Prussian domination to something else. In either case the German people, with or without the King of Prussia, will, I am confident, regain the posi tion among nations which is their due. You may recollect in 1840 that a foreign threat to conquer the Rhenish provinces would rouse all Ger many like one man. I retain to this day the same unshaken confidence in the ultimate stability of Ger many. We must pass through a multiplicity of phases, but we will come at last to a free and united Germany. And I ground this steadfast faith not only on the good and bad qualities of the actors now figuring in the political scene, but on the uniform tenor and tendency of German history. The new birth of Germany has been preparing for the last 150 years. The event has been approaching slowly, but merely. German literature, philosophy, religious ideas, industry, politi ca l i ns tit u ti ons — in short, all that constitutes the basis of a solidly constructed state, have been making almost insensible and unnoticed progress, but have struck deep and spreading roots. This cannot have been in vain ; the faults must be serious and numerous that arrest a growth as natural as that of a tree in a good soil and propitious atmosphere. It is possible that the King of Prussia may reject the offer of the imperial crown. For my part, how ever, I believe he will accept it ; for this is as neces eerily the denouement of the history of the kings of Prussia, as the re-establishment of the German empire is of the history of Germany. If the King Of Prussia refuse the crown, and if the Prussian people do not force him to accept it, the dynasty and people of Pripda, abdicate their position as "leaders" in Ger many. If he accept, Prussia will be lost in Germany. I heard rather a felicitous mot with reference to this alternative—a gentleman parcilying the old French formula exclaimed—" The King of Prussia is dead. God save the Emperor." With regard to the left, which you appear to re proach likewise for not taking the King of Prussia at any price, and at the first offer, I believe they have judged wisely in holding back to drive a better bar gain, and that neither the people nor the Emperor , King, will be losers ultimat e ly by their having done so. Had the King come to Frankfort with his Berlin notions, attended by his Brandenburg and Wrangel, he would soon have spoiled the game. It is for tunate that the rejectionof Welcker'sniotionhas given a shake to the ministers and state The Prussian people and their king have hien tse g k e that Germ say can only be had on the conditis e devotion to th.i liberty and interests of the Ger The emperor-king himself has been beneli'ed ' sew thing in the interval of eight days. Th e w e i cket motion wculd only have been carried by a msj ee i te of four or live, even though the whole of the 4, eratie h ft, with the exception of the red repnblieset bed voted for it. In the election wbioh took pl e ; yesterday, the King of Prussia had a majority of votes; and it must be kept in mind that of th e 120 Austrian deputies not one voted in thi s majority For the immediate present affairs look well, mei the king accept, even I believe that we are in ago o d way to attain some substantial good for Germany —le rather to attain somethttg that may enure a leek future to a country that deserves to be gnat sod happy. BERLIN, Mmtea29 The election of Frederick William to be Eropea v of the Germans was announced here yesterday b,, electric telegraph; and V c Frankf or t deputation fa hourly expected here.

It begins thus —" From tl c head quarters of the army, whence no news tad bean. oeived for several day. past, we have received to day the following : On the 23rd inst., a pitched battle was fought; the troops we-re tired with long marches and countermarches, pm formed on the two preceding days, but the battle could set be deferred, as the enemy came on to the assault. The Um of battle extended from Biases, a small hamlet, tr rather group of buildings, situated on the road to Mortars, es far et the canal lying a little behind the small country-house ailed Corta Nucor., on the Vercelli road.

The 3rd Divi sion, composed of the Savona and Savoy brigades, was commauded by Gal. Perrone. The . Savoy regi ments behaved best throughout the succetes.ve engage- meats. The King himself was at the head of the first, with the rank of colonel. The Dake of Genoa was behind, commanding the reserve division. The document then continues : The Duke of Savoy supported the right wing with the brigades of Cuneo and that of the guards. He was at a short distance from Vercelli, on the low plains that extend beneath its walls, and thence to the road,.

Soon them two brigades together retook the last position, and ad vanced as far as the countryhouze called, " Larinchi," se the left of the old buildings called "La Citadellt."

Bee. Here the assault of the enemy was feltstroard on our left. The brigades of Savoy and Savona commuted to give way, falling back upon La Hicesca. This last pen. tion was soon lost, and with it the fortune of the day. 'fbe Duke of Genoa, with the reserve, was sent to support it, but, though he fought most bravely, had several horses killed under him, and was obliged to continue the fight on foot, all his efforts were fruitless. The Austrians then brought all their forces to bear on our centre. The action was hottest on our right and centre, but our battalions fall ing back one on the ether, towards night we were obliged to retreat. The day was lost for us.
