LORDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 18. Tug Conservatives bout of their gains at re cent elections, and their organs speak with con fidence of the early accession of the party to power. So far as mere numbers are concerned there is nothing that we know of in the composi tion or character of the present inert and spirit less House of Commons to prevent this. But the nation is hardly likely to acquiesce in such an ar rangement, unless it knows rather more clearly than at present on what principles the business of the country would be carried on by a Tory Admi nistration. This demand for fuller knowledge refers chiefly, of course, to the foreign policy of the Conservative leaders. Their views on do mestic questions are better known and less im portant, for the power of opinion would promptly and effectually prevent their being earned to any vicious or reactionary extreme. But in matters of foreign policy great and irreparable mischief might easily be done in comparative silence and obscurity, especially in the present disturbed and critical state of both hemispheres. Indirect but decisive countenance and support might be given to reactionary movements of the worst kind before public opinion was sufficiently informed to interpose its veto, or the indig nant voice of the nation could make itself beard ; and, apart from any such overt action, the known sympathies and predilections of a govern ment are in themselves a moral power capable of doing no inconsiderable amount of good or harm. This is illustrated in the state of opinion at home and abroad at the present moment. The strong and °hearty symp►thy of the English Government for Italy is a tower of strength to the Italian cause. In the other hand, the general belief both in this country and on the Continent is, that the return of • Tory Ministry to office would directly strengthen the hands of despotic power, and stimulate re actionary movements in every part of Europe. The universal conviction is that such an event would encourage Austria not only in her crusade against Hungary, but in her designs on Italy; tempt the abettors of the Pore's temporal powir into still more obstinate resistance, revive the hopes of the exiled Italian l'rinces, and multiply the gangs of savage brigands that infest Southern Italy. In a word, according to the judgment of those who are well informed as to the state of parties and the tendency of opinion on the Con tinent, the return of Lords Damn - and 31• Le m at' RV to power would be a heavy blow to Italy, and a great and positive discouragement to the cause of freedom and independence, of order and progress throughout Europe. Such a decided opinion as this rarely gains uni versal currency except on some strong and sufficient grounds. lu the present case we must say it is amply justified by the language of the Conserve tire leaders, the conduct of the party in l'arlia ment, and the tone of its accredited organs out of doors. The leaders, it is true,:especiallyof late, have preserved a discreet silence on questions of foreign policy, or if compelled to speak, have done so in the meet careful and guarded manner. But this actionary excessive caution and reserve has not in the least availed to conceal their real sentiments. At the commencement of last session Lord DICZBT bold'y defended the temporal power of the Pore, scoffed at the very notion of a united Italy, and likened the Italians themselves to mongrel curs. This see won he and his colleague Lord MALMIDISOILY have openly identified themselves with Lord NORMIANIIIT his imbecile attacks on the Italian Government, and his puerile efforts on behalf of the Pees and the exiled Princes. Last week Mr. Disetztt and his party gave a silent but expressive support to the same imbecile slanders and puerile attack■ when repeated in the House of Cumi.ions. The organs of the party out of doors are far more out spoken in the same direction. They openly de fend the fetal obstinacy of the Papal Court, and raise the mercenary cutthroats of Southern Italy to the rank of patriots and martyrs. But it is not merely in relation to Italy that this declared antipathy to every movement in favour of politi cal freedien and social progress is manifested. Any people struggling to defend the constitutional freedom they possess, or to secure rights illegally withheld, are equally the objects of Tory denun ciation. The Poles are severely condemned for revolutionary movements of which they are alto- gether innocent ; and the Hungarians are told in the true language of political flnnkeyism that if, instead of meekly accepting what their Imperial master graciously chooses to offer, they still venture to claim their constitutional righ.e, they must take the consequencos and be subjected to military rule. Lord Matmeeni-Ke's organ glories in being the humble mouthpiece of these Imperial sentiments, and is only too happy and too eager to perform this kind of menial service for the despotic Powers of Europe. No later than yes terday it called attention, with becoming modesty, to the proud petition it occupies as a kind of ester wart worshipper of " the right. divine to " govern wrong ";—" We belong not to that " wheel which pronounces boldly in favour of the " annexation of Naples to Piedmont whatever " reasons fidelity to engagements, knowledge of " past history, and diversity of race, may urge to " the contrary ; we never have been so pre " sumptuous as to crumple up—that is to say, on " paper—the colossal empire of Russia, by de " taching from her Poland ; we have always de " precated the shortsightedness of those states " men who, in their struggle for the maintenance " of a divine and indefeasible right in Hungary " and Croat* have prevented that powerful king " dom and that warlike province from partaking "of the benefits conferred by the Reichsrath." Gi course the same sympathies and antipathies are extended to the New World, and the great struggle new going on in America is subjected to the same reactionary and depraved principles of judg ment.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. THE FRENCH PRESS AND LORD PALMER STONE SPEECH UPON ITALY. THE "COTILLON " RIOTS. (vim( OCR owl PARIS, TEWHAIDAT Eviento. The Constitutionnel has a stately article by its editor in chief, M. Paulin Limayrac, in which the dissatisfaction with Lord Palinenston's speech on Italy, which has been muttered by the other go vernment organs, is expressed with greater solem nity and amplification. The writer describes the English prime minister and his colleagues as "political amateurs," wh6 "play with the surface of the question and do not see the bottom of It." At the same time, M. Limayrse woubl. have been magnanimous enough not to have refuted Lord Palmerston if he had been content with addressing arguments to the present generation, and had not appealed to posterity. There M. Paulin Linsayree draws the line—there is the boundary of his pa- Comm ; he would feel silence, under such aggra vating circumstances, to be a crime, and he will not allow posterity to be misled by an English minister. After an exordium to this pompous effect—and of which in my abridgment I have but very slightly changed the wording—he plays off the favourite card of the lonian Islands, to which I will not follow suit, because I regard it as a " revoke." Indeed, some lines further down the writer admits that the argument, which it seems ho could not help using in the hope of creating a prejudice, has nothing to do with the question, " became one wrong does not justify another." Then he momentarily awakens attention by promising to " explain " why, in spite of the blind obstinacy of the Pope's councillors, the French army is still in Rome. But this " explana tion " turns out to be merely a draft upon posterity --a meaty of credit which he co much deprecated what could a poor justice of the peace do ?—I am not able tow whether anything amusing or iota. meting took place at the trial. It is, however, very obvious that the excuse of " public morality" was a humbug. The notorious fact that some of the actresses were mistresses of the heavy swells) who kicked up the row at the theatre need not have been introduced into a discussion as to what took place before and not behind the curtain—or if alluded to need not have shocked the mod squeamish delicacy. The true resins for the nacres} , required must have been of a political character, and I am now inclined to believe what I did not before, that Count de Moray, whose aspirations to fame as a dramatic author are more persevering than suooessful, must have had a hand in the piece that was hissed. The great question for the justice of the peace was whether the various degrees of delinquency proved against the noble defendants merited a fine of llfr. or 15fr., and Ihave no doubt that he exercised the discretion which the law allows him within the limit of 4fr. with commendable judgment. The result was as follows :--The Tribunal decided that the charge was not proved against the Marquis de Saint-Sauveur, Count de Cornelissen, and M. de Tiaset, who were accordingly acquitted, but that it was proved against the Count de Grammont-Cade rousse and M. Doulet, who were respectively fined IMr. and llfr. Viscount de Merlemont, Count Pozzo di Borgo, M. de Boissy-Roger, the Marquis de Beagles, Count Maurice de Rochefort, and Paupelin were acquitted, whilst M. Liestert, Count d'Estourmel, and M. de Saint-Maurice (by default) were condemned to pay a tine of 15fr. each, M. Tastet llfr., and all conjointly to the expenses. Count de Grammont-Caderowee (now called intim legal journals Count and not Duke) was condemned principally because on his own admission he was " horribly bored" at the theatre ou the first night, and therefore the presumption was that when he went a second time it must have been on purpose to kick up a row. The Voluntaires, so long in preparation at the Porte St. Martin, continues to be put off from day to day. The fall in the Route has made further progress. The last prices to-day were 70fr. 25c., and 70fr. 35c., being a decline of 15c. for cash, and sc. foe account. In Mobilise there was no change. The Italian Loan rose 20c. Railways were rather firm. on the part of Lord Palmerston. " Hereafter" we are asked to believe, on the strength of M. Limey rac's assertion, "the long recital of the inexhaust ible patience of France during the negotiations with Rome of the last ten years will form one of the finest pages in her anni:ls." Then follows the consecrated gag that, because the Emperor, having well understood reasons for giving employment to his vast army, gained the battles of Magenta and Solferino, it is impertinence in any other nation to express an opinion on Italian affairs.

The Opinion Nationale publishes the following observations on the present state of Russia, which, however, hive the appearance of exaggeration : Our last letters from St. Petersbusg state that the nobility are using the most energetic effort, to counteract the in fluence of the government over the emancipated masses- The opposition toe, it ia said, become most formidable In the provinces of Trot, Moscow, Smolensk°, and Vladimir ; the youths of the universities, of the colleges, and even of the eeeleanatical schools, manifest more and more liberal Onissoior, and a mysterious movement is remarked moss the Poscolnies, or sectarians, who compose one-third of the population, and who pretend to represent the com munal democracy. It is also stated that the government is eel sure of the army, and more particularly mistrusts the Imperial Guard, the young officers of which belong for the most part to the political school of Alexandre Hertsen ; that the journal the 161441 (the Bell), published in London by that chief of the democratic party in Rolla, bads its way into all the towns and villages to the very bottom of Siberia, and that from ate end of Russia to the other the people and the nobility loudly call for Zemskov-Sobor, that is to say, a national assembly. The government is deeply embarrassed, sad the Czar float irresolutely between the different parties who meek to ob tain the direction of affairs. Thoth parties are four in nom bar 1. The democratic revolutionary, which hat no avowed chiefs in the interior of the empire. 2. The minir rate liberal, to which a relit portico of the nobility belong. 3. The court, called in Russia the German party, the chiefs of which, the last remnants of the regime of eon. motion of the Czar Nicholas, are MM. Adhere% Prince Barge Dolgoronkov, Annenkov, and Prisalebe. mike,. 4. The Russian oligarchical, directed by the Grand Duke Constantine, brother of the Emperor. The last named party has, it is said, just gained the upper hand. Primo Gortachakov will, according to this account, resign the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Prince Lobanov, now Ambaaesdor at Constantinople ; M. Oholenaki replace IL Panin in the Depertment of Justice ; MM. Panto:loos, Milutio, and Valanov take three other portfolios, and the command in the Caucasus be confided to Count Mouraviev- Amourskiy.

A communication from Turin of the 14th, in the Debates, says The diplomatic body propose to follow the King to the southern capital. The Prue= minister alone will remain here ; his government not having yet recognised the king dom of Italy. Th►t recognition, there is every reason to hops, will take place on his Majesty's return if, as cannot be doubted, the }ourosy which King Victor Emmanuel is about to undertake will show the inutility of any attempts at re storation, end give to the annexation a fresh ratification. The Belie of Turin announces that Prince Oscar of Sweden is expected at Turin, to take leave of King Victor Emmanuel. Hui highness will im mediately leave again for Nice. The same paper states that Prince Humbert, immediately after his journey to London, will proceed to Naples, where he will settle permanently, with his military household, immediately after the King's depart ure. His Majesty will not, it is said, proceed to Sicily this time, being unable to prolong his stay sufficiently there ; but the visit is only adjourned to October, when the King will honour all the principal towns of the island with hie presence. MADAGASCAR Some of the French journals publish the follow ing letter, as sent by M. Lambert, Envoy of the King of Madagascar, to all the embassies in Paris.

The Swedish royal family of the Bernadotte dynasty are known to be possessed of Milente of • kind which are not very common among princes. The late King Oscar was not only an author, but a brilliant musical composer, and Charles XV. handles the pencil like an artist, while Prince Oscar ham acquired a name among the poste of the kingdom, and some mmical compositions of the late Prince Gahm., who was prematurely carried off, have long been highly thought of. The picture of the Klieg of Sweden in the present which has been presented by his Majesty to the An.. demy of Copenhagen, is a landscape which revetments a very striking scene on the road between Christiania and Dron tbeim, and the conception of the idea which it embodies, and the execution of the work, are maid to be alike meal lent and *Mirth). _ _ _ A bronze atatue, larger than life, has just beau placed ou a pedestal temporarily in front of the Palais de Flnduatrie, in the Champs Elystes.
