MOE WATII AT LONDON =IDOL SONDON. WEDNESDAY. !Wm . 17. Toss fete of the Italian Duchies is just now hang ing in the balance, and it is of the utmost importance that while there is yet time every effort should be made to enure for them their recently gained right of independent action. This right is threatened on all sides, and nothing but the utmost firmness and vigilance on the part not only of these States them selves but of their political friends in Europe, can prevent the success of the conspiracies that have been recently formed, and are now in secret operation against them. Fortunately, the right of the Duchies to self-government is a European question —one, therefore, in which the Neutral Powers may fairly claim to have a voice. These States are not the spoil of war, and their fate cannot legitimately be decided by the belligerent Em perors. They are, indeed, mentioned in the Articles of Validness ; but being no parties to the com pact they an not bound by its provisions, nor can the pacific Emperors with any show of justice attempt to enforce them. Austria has no more right to dictate • form of government to Tema, and Modena than it has to Holland or Belgians. France has seen less pretence to any such interference, as she has personally protested against it in the most emphatic manner. Bet though they home not the least right to decide the fate of the Decides, both Emperors see at this moment doing their unmet to resolve it, each in hie own way. Here spin, however. is • ground of hope for these beleaguered State,. The rival peacemaker have rival plans for the settlement of this vexed question, so diverse that the craft of diplomacy will be sorely taxed to reconcile them. It was understood a day or two sine* that this difficulty had already brought the Conference of Zurich to a dead lock. Austria, naturally enough, insists on the restoration of the Grand Dukes, and maintains that France is bound by positive engagement to unite in effecting it, if need be, by fore*. While tb's is her attitude in the Conference she is net idle in the Duchies. Her agents are, as small, diligently employed in raking up internal dissensions, in stia.:ng up the debased and ignorant part of the population to acts of violence, and in circulating falsehoods to damage the liberal and constitutional party both at home and in the eight of Europe. On the other hand, the Emperor of the Fiencit has his own views with regard to the Dnehies, though what these are precisely it may be difficult to say, as they are certainly net so openly avowed at those of Austria. He apparently limits himself as present to taking so pert in the reimposition of the Sovereigns by force. We know at least from Lord ions Russatt's explicit statement in the House of Commons that he had assured the English Government he would not sanction such a proceeding. This may probably enough be the cause of the rumoured difficulty at Zurich. The EMPEROR is laid to be somewhat per pieced by the conduct of the Court of Vienna, and the ground of his annoyance is in all like lihood the tenacity with which the restoration of the Dukes is insisted on. It most net be hastily supposed, however, that LOUIS NAPOLEON'S oppoettion to this scheme, if he really does agrees it, springs from soy disinterested zeal for the inde pendence of the Duchies. He has, of course, his own ulterior views, for which his professed neutrality is a: momentary mask. At most, he will only adopt the principle of independence, as he recently did that of nationality, to use it for the furtherance of his own designs. What design', it may perhaps be premature to say ; but the suggestion of moot our own corre spondents is by no means improbable—that he wishes to force the Duchies to elect a Prince of his own House as their King. He hae carefully prevented the union with Piedmont, which they desire, and which would be an effective guarantee of their independence. In this state of isolation it is obviously impossible for them to remain at ease. They must rely on some foreign power ; and he probably calculates that in their intense hatred of Austrian rule, they will, in mere self-defence, as the lesser of two evils, choose a member of his own family. The Femme* of Imperial agents and French troops in the Duchies would no doubt powerfully contribute to bring about this desired reside. Ifseceessful.this would be a hoe stroke of policy foe the Estrzeze. It would at once relieve his government at home, and aggrandise his family abroad. A restless relative would he conveniently disposed of, and Napoleonic intiut nor personified in Italy. However desirable for France, this would be a cala mity for Italy, great in proportion to the amount of pressure on the spontaneous action of the people which might be employed to secure it. Amidst these serious complications it is not impro bable that the difficulty will prove insolvable, and the Zurich Conference break no without having come to any egreemeet with regard to the Duchies. This would neasseitate an appeal to the Neutral Powers, who ought to have been vomited in the first instance. The Italian themselves regard this appeal with e:infidence, rely ing on the support of the Neutral Powers, and nape dally of England. They are determined to maintain ' their fire-dam and independence at all hazards, and their mein hope in so doing is now centred in the moral and diplomatic support of this country. This con fideot e t. well grounded, and the expected ssppoet wilt not be wanting. Here, and hem aloe*, the inherent jest ice of their claim to eelf-governrnent hes been luny recognised and defended, not simply by the pews and the public, but in Parliament and by her MAILsTT's Ministers. All foreign interferecce, from whatever quarter it may come, whether from Austria or France, is equally and on the broad ground of principle depre cated by the English Government. The absolute rigida the Italians to act for themselves in this Mimi' of their history wee stated in the clearest and most comluaive language a week ago by the StrItETAILT of tir its foe Foams AYE its. After giving a full historical justification of this right, and proving that it had bees amply recognised in other cases by the Powers of Europe, Lord Joiirt cracluded his plea (*behalf of Italian freedom and independence in words which cannot be too often quoted at the present moment :--" Are the " people of Italy, who se I have said knee been so " moderate and so just in their proceeding+, who " have committed no outrages, who have taken part " in no violence, to be deprived of that right, of that power which hu been exercised in Belgium. in Holland, in Sweden, in France, and in Great " Britain ? I cannot be a party to denying them "that right. On the contrsry, I believe that if " you allow the people of Italy to settle their " own concerns—and that is the doctrine e' which my noble friend and myself have "always held in this house, especially during the " whole course of the present session—if you allow " the people of Italy, whether they have hitherto " lived under the rule of the King of SARDINIA, or " of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY, or of the Duke of MODENA, under the POPE. Or ander the King of " the Two SICILIES, to settle with their Sovereigns " on what terms they shall pay their allegiance, " there will no longer exist the irritation and discos " tent which have long prevailed, but they will pro " reed with pesos and order to establish the founds, " tions of good government." When the FOREIGN SECRETARY speaks thus the Italians may look with confidence for the sympathy end support of the English Government in the noble but unequal struggle fur independence in which they are engaged.

CFROY OCIL 011111 PARIS, TOZSDAT The Emperor and Empress pained last night at the Tuileries. The flag hoisted on the Pavilion de l'Hoeloge gave notice to the lieges of their Majes ties' presence. ThM morning the Emperor presided at a council of ministers. Their Majesties left for St. Cloud this afternoon. To-morrow they start for St. Sauvenr, on their way to Biarritz. It is con firmed that they will pay a skit to M. Fould, the Minister of State, at his magnificent country seat, near Tarbes, where preparations for the reception have been going on for the last fortnight. Their Stay will be limited to twenty-four hours. The forty cannons taken from the Austrians, whieh were drawn in triumph through Paris on Sunday, are placed temporarily in the court yard of the Tuileries. Eventually, some of them will be permanently exhibited, among other like trophies, on the esplanade of the Invalidee, and the rest will be taken to the artillery museum. The St. Maur camp is already breaking up. Several regiments left to-day for different garrison towns, to reorganise and refit. The Imperial Guard will begin to occupy its barracks in Paris to morrow, and right glad the men will be to enjoy once more the luxury of a bed. The Petrie takes it for granted to-night that the Grand Duke of Tuscany, the Duke of Modena, and the Duchess of Parma have not the slightest chance of being restored to their dominions. It construes the stipulation made at Villafranca in favour of the Grand Dake of Tuscany and the Duke of Modena as merely meaning that they were free to go back to their duchies if they could get there. " The treaty of Villafranca did not give them the keys; it was for them to find or to take them; they did not snowed." This view of the Petrie's, which meets with confirmation in many quarters, is, it is worth remarking, entirely contrary to the very positive statement made two days eines by the Insiepenclanee Beige that the dukes would most certainly be restored; that the word of the two Emperors was pledged to their restoration, and that it would be a sine qua noes to any settle ment. Bat supposing, ea there is great reason to suppose, that the independanee is wrong, does it follow that the wishes of the people of Central Italy are to be acted upon ? By no means. The Petrie, while giving up the dukes, is very careful not to say what government is to replace their.. The reason is that the French Emperor has not the slightest intention of allowing the people of Tuscany and Modena to choose the only government which they desire, namely, the tried, the strong, the I honest, the constitutional government of the King of Sardinia. " Oh, no !—you ere quite free," the people of Italy are hypocritically told ; "only you must not be a republic nor annex yourselves to Sar dinia. If you will not have beck your old Austrian dukes according to the stipulation made and pro vided by the two emperors at Villafrance, you are a stiff-necked ungrateful set of people ; but still you shall not be coerced into taking them. Yoe must, however, choose some prince. There is the Prince Napoleon and the Prince de Leuchtenberg, or, possibly, you might like the child duke, Robert of Parma. It is true that you will be quite at sea about your future welfare if you take either of these, whereas with the King of Sardinia you would know what you have to trust to. But Napoleon 111. won't allow you to be subjects of Victor Emmanuel, and that is enough." The Bourse, after the two days holiday, opened with considerable firmness. The Rente for account was first quoted at 69fr. 60c., being an advance of 20c. on Saturday's closing quotation. Bat later in the day it became very much depressed. The Emperor's speech was not mach cauvarsed, but the result shows that it failed to produce any positive effect in favour of a rise. Notwithstanding an im provement of in Consols reported by the second telegram from London, the Rente fell to 69fr. end 69fr. 5c., closing with a fall of 250. and 350. Mo bilise fell 18fr. 75c. The Orleans railway fell 7fr. 50c.; Southern, Bfr. 75c.; and the other Foes about 2fr. 60c. The Pay. corrects a statement said to be found in an English journal, that the French aviao Marceau, coming from Canton, was Mat in the Red Sea. The Marceau is still in China. It merely says :—" The vessel lost was the Mariout, a mixed transport be longiag to the Egyptian Med jtdie Company; it struck on a coral bank near Cooder, a port of Upper Egypt, on the western coast of the Red Sea. A number of Massulman pilgrims, on their way from Djeddah to Mecca, were on board. They were saved by the Gabari, a vessel belonging to the same company."

The New York papers give further details of the accident on the Northern Railway reported by the Africa. Fifteen to twenty persons were killed. The accident was caused by a rotten trestle in the bridge, and the coroner's jury severely censured the mato faits having charge of the line. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says it was reliably ascertained that several months ago tLeMirtmoa government advised France and England to assume a protectorate at Mexico, but no answer had been given. It is stated that John Mitchell, the Irish exits, was about to discontinue publishing his pro-slavery journal and pay a visit to Europe. LATEST BY TELEGRAPH VIA FATHER POINT.

Mr. *Lane, the American minister, had only sent the skeleton of a treaty to Wuhington, and that was unsigned. The Tehuantepec Company continued to be an noyed by the authorities, in consequence of which the mail would probably be suspended soon. General Zeguni was approaching Luis Potosi with 5,000 men.
