LONDON, MONDAY. OCT. 15. Tan the relations existing between Austria and Italy are such that a war may win out of them at any moment, is a fact of which no news paper reader can be ignorant. Still, since nothing has suddenly happened to weaken those powerful restraints which hold back the armies of both countries within their own frontiers, we hardly understand why a cry of alarm is now raised in this country. The situation, as the French call it, is so clear and obvious, that explanation may overlay but cannot illustrate it. The irritation between Austria and Italy is at its height. Italy, at the moment of constituting herself a great nation, sees herself cut off from Venice, without which her existence cannot be either tranquil or complete. Austria, exasperated before at the presump tion of the Italians in throwing off her ancient yoke, now sees that their nation is on the point of acquiring in unity and compactness a strength, the find exercise of which must be for her exclusion from the Peninsula. Now, on one side we know not only what wisdom dictates, but also what will be the effect of the passions excited. The Government of Italy is responsible to a Parliament sitting with open doors, and Iron. the acts of that assembly we know that the strong feelings of the Italians, in stead of being let loose in war, will be kept in discipline. The Ministers of Vicroa well knowing what they lose in popularity and how open they lay themselves to the republican party, resolve for the good of the entire country that no attack shall be made on Venice. On the other side we only know what is the wise course. We know that Austria could not take a more plainly suicidal step than to go to war. We care not what dreams of military success may be dreamed at Vienna ; let them all be realised, let the Pied inonte.e be defeated, and the French into the bargain, let Croat hordes range from the Po to the Straits of Messina, the extension of victory would be only the extension of insolvency and ruin. Instead of one Venice there would be half a dozen. The statesmen of Austria have learned by this time that government by the sword does not pay. Were the Government of Austria, like that of Sardinia, answerable to the nation for its acts, we might expect that these considerations would be all-powerful to compel the Exrcaos to resign himself to the spectacle of a free Italy, and reser. e his forces for the defence of his own terri tory. But it is upon the capriciousness of deapotism that Europe waits to know whether it may fairly give itself to the labours and engagements of peace, or must contract its operations to the restrictions and dangers of war. We have seen in our time that the Emperor of Areretx is capable of spurning the advice of his wisest counsellors, and, following his headstrong impale" involving the empire in ex • treme peril Still, the consequences of his wilful ness have been brought home to him in a manner a* close and even personal, that it is impossible he should have learned nothing by experience. Re• verses have of late obliged him to listen to much plain speaking ; and he knows the condition and capabilities of his empire, and the temper of his subj. eta, much better than when ho sent his ulti matum to Turin. He knows, too, that absolute as he is, be will not be able to govern without the active co-operation of men in whom the nation has confidence, and such men will not humour his military passion. If the extensive preparations now in Venetia are not intended for de fence, at least their application will probably de pend on the result of the interview at Warsaw, and we take leave to doubt altogether that the Cxaa will advise his Imperial Brother to indulge in war. With dangers seen and unseen to conciliate, the Italians boldly pursue the work of making their country one. The opposition they have to en counter in the jealousy of the chiefs of the despotic and arbitrary Governments of Europe is increas ing. It is stated that, with the exception of this country, all the European Powers have signified to the Court of Turin that they will not recognise the til..ekade of Gaeta. The practical question, however, is not who will recognise the blockade, but wh will undertake to break it, if it should bo procho ned f That France should concur in a no tificat; in of the, kinds not more remarkable than that she should have withdrawn her ambeaeador from Twin. Keeping up the series of formal dis avowal. of Sarilmian policy, it conveniently serves a diplomatic end, and has the additional advan tage of leering Lore, NAPOLEON free to disapprove of all that had been or may be done constructively in S..iithern Italy, and turning the field to his own iw-nunt. The article of hi. Boaursce in the Come:' ra. I may hareamuch graver significance: we 3 , 1111 nut, however, be guilty of the presumption to stlipose we can pierce a mystery which bales our Paris contemporaries, who should be better judges of the matter. Certainly when a hack writer of Loris NAPOLEON sits down to examine with " ocruptdous impartiality " the "principle of " thy: independence of regularly constituted anto " nornies," the result must be a rimy singular din-' citation. We leave others then to interpret the alt.- rior aim of If. BONIFACE or his master. Toi• study of the character of Lot in NAPOLEON has lung since been abandoned for all practical pur poeel; and a sensible titan would as soon think of reading Dr. Colman on Prophecy as of reading a spec illation founded on an analysis of the Em emote,' =nal. There is only one remark, and that neither philosophic nor profound, but strictly empirical, we would just make. We believe we have seen mometh.nglike this Boxiirscs trick before. Notonce nor t a i..e, when a Mend whom it has been the policy of the Ea PEtttoß to encourage has been rather hard premed, has it been the Majesty to add to the an ambiguous attitude, by public ideretionately happened that soon afterwards the atbsetion of the world has been struck by some wetly concession made by the weaker party. A mat deal of disapprobation of Piedmont was er mined in the Paris papers just before the late war, while the terms of the assist ance to be rendered to Piedmont were being settled, and still more while Csvocrt was trying bard to save Savoy and Nice. Of course we do not know that the EMPEROR wants anything of the Italians just now ; but there are ugly rumours abroad, and it is no wonder if people are suspici ous. We notice in the report of Count Cavort's speech, as given in the Prase and Opinion Nationals, an ominous passage which Mr. Rurrit's people did not transmit on Friday last. Count CAVOUR said : " I " now come to the diplomatic question. A " essaion to France has been spoken of. I do not " say the question has never been mooted." Count Cavout added, "Such a demand would " not be made to • nation of 22 millions of united " Italians." Perhaps that is the reason why it should be made now, quickly, before the union takes place. It may be very uncharitable to say so, but the threat that Loris NAPOLEON will join the Warsaw conspirators--for that is the plain drift of M. BONITACZ'S article—looks uncom monly like an attempt to rain the price to Italy of French support for the next few months. Tam attention of the commercial and financial classes is directed rather earnestly to the exten sive withdrawals of gold. The Bank return pub lished on Friday evening shows a decrease of 443,4761. in the coin and bullion, whereby the total stock is reduced to 15,426,6131. A sum of 612,0001. is known to have been taken out for exportation since the date to which these figures were made up. Then, the payment of the divi dends, which commenced on Saturday, will cause a loss of coin—to flow back, however, hereafter ; and it is rumoured that further amounts will soon be taken by exporters. The wants of the Bank of Madrid, amongst others, are, it is said, not yet satisfied. The drain is the more worthy of attention because it occurs at a time when the supplies of gold from the United States are falling off. Should it continue for a few days longer, the rate of dis count of the Bank of England will assuredly be raised. We believe we but echo the views of most commercial men of judgment and experi ence in expressing a hope that, if the adverse movement continue, the Bank directors will act with promptitude and raise their terms at once to 5 per cent. They wish to protect the reserve of bullion, and had better do so early rather than too late. Delay upon these occasions is often produc tive of greatly increased ultimate inconvenience. The foreign Markets have an eye upon our gold, and it must be our object to diminish the tempta tion to its withdrawal—in other words, to cut away the profit upon its exportation. The principal means to that end consists in raising the value of money here to a point above that current abroad. The general discount market is already moving in that direction, and it therefore devolves upon the Bank to take action, if need be, before the gold leaves them, instead of after. The direc tors may perhaps think it best to watch the course of events for a few days longer, but it is to be hoped they will not be deterred from a deeded course of action by a weak fear that the market will be thereby disturbed. Legitimate trade can afford to pay 5 per cent. for money. It is not a dear but an unsettled discount market that would really trouble it ; and the knowledge that the Bank of England are prepared to act with vigour will operate as a power ful stimulus to confidence. Moreover, next to an arranmement of the differences between the discount establishmeMs and the Bank, this is the best means of mitigating the apprehension and consequent inconvenience which have been periodi cally experienced in the money market in a greatly increased degree ever since those differences arose. This is a point which, we fear, will be forced upon the attention of the commercial public only too often. There is no alteration of much importance in the accounts received during the past week from the principal manufacturing districts. The ge neral condition of trade continues satisfac tory, and a good amount of business is going forward. It is also satisfactory to re mark that the stock of cotton in first hands at Liverpool has now been reduced to 786,000 bales, so that the excess, compared with the oorrespotni ing period of last year, does not amount to more than 250,000 bales. lain.

The following is the text of this im portant manifesto : "At a solemn moment in the national history and in the destinies of the Italian people I add-ess myself to you, people of South Italy, who, after having in my name changed the existing state of things, send me deputations composed of men of all ranks of citizens, magistrates, and members of municipal councils, demanding to be established in order, to be gratified with liberty, and to be united to my kingdom. I wish to tell you what idea guides me and what my conscience tells me should be the duties of one' whom Providence has placed on an Italian throne. I came to the throne after a great national disaster. My father left me a noble example when he resigned kis crown to save his own dignity and the liberty of hie. people. Charles-Albert fell with arms in his hand, and died iu exile. His death more than ever bound up the destinies of my family with those of the Italian people who, for so many ages, have left in foreign lands the ashes of their exiles, thereby showing their title to the inheritance of those territories which God has placed with'n the same boundaries, and united together by the same language. I have educated myself upon this model, and the memory of my father has been my guiding star. " Between the crown and my plighted word I could not hesitate as to the choice. I strengthened liberty at a time that was but little propitious to liberty ; and in acting thus my desire was that it should strike its roots deep in the manners of the nation, because I could not for a moment doubt that it was agreeable to my people. In the liberty of Piedmont, the inheritance which the far-seeing mind of my august father had left to all the people of Italy was religiously observed. Through free dom of election, the education of the people, great public works, free trade and commerce, I have en deavoured to promote the prosperity of my people. Wishing to respect the catholic religion, whilst leaving to others entire freedom of conscience, I have strengthened the civil authority, and resisted openly that obstinate and aggressive faction which sets itself up as the only friend and protector of thrones, but which, under the name of God, seeks to rule kings, and to interpose between prince and people the barrier of its own intolerant passions. "This mode of government could not remain without effect on the rest of Italy. Con cord between the prince and people in the prospect of national independence, civil and political liberty, freedom of speech and of the press, an army which has just re vived the military traditions of Italy under the tricolor flag, have made of Piedmont the standard bearer and the arm of Italy. The strength of my kingdom is not derived from the arts of a secret policy, but from the open influence ef ideas and public opinion. I have thus been able to maintain in that part of Italy which is united under my sceptre, the idea of a national hegemony, out of which was to arise the harmonious concord of divided provinces united in one nation. "Italy was put in possession of my view when it beheld me sending my troops to the Crimea by the side of the soldiers of the two great western powers. I desired to obtain for Italy the right of taking .part in all transactions of European interest. "In the Congress of Paris my envoys were for the first time able to speak of the griefs of Italy before Europe ; and it was demonstrated to all 'that the preponderance of Austria in Italy was injurious to the European equilibrium, and that the •independence and liberty of Piedmont would be endangered if the rest of Italy was not freed from foreign influence. "My magnanimous ally the Emperor Napoleon lIL felt that the Italian cause was worthy of the great nation over which he rules. The new 'destinies of our nation were inaugurated by a just war. The soldiers of Italy nobly fought by the side of the invincible legions of France. The vo lunteers who flocked from all the provinces of Italy beneath the banner of the Cross of Savoy proved that the whole of Italy gave me the right of speaking and combating in its name. Rea sons of state put an end to the war, but not to its effects, which proceeded to their development through the inflexible logic of fact and of nations. If I had had that ambition which is attributed to my family of doing nothing till the proper time arrived, I might have remained satisfied with the acquisition of Lombardy. But I shed the precious blood of my soldiers not for my self but for Italy. " I called the Italians to arms. Some province' of Italy changed their governments in'order that they might be able to take part in that war of indepen dence which their sovereigns shrank from. Since the peace of Villafranca these provinces have asked me to protect them from the threatened restoration of their former governments. If the facts which have taken place in Central Italy were the consequence of the war to which we invited the people ; if the system of foreign intervention was to be for ever abandoned in Italy, it became my duty to recognise and to defend the right of the people time to freely and legally express their wishes. I withdrew my government ; they formed one for themselves. I withdrew my troops ; they orga nised a regular force of their own, and by means of concord, and the display of high civil qualities, they acquired such reputation and strength that they could only be overcome by foreign arms. Thanks to the good sense of the people of Central Italy, the monarchical idea was strength ened, and the monarchy moderated in a moral sense the pacific movement of the population. Thus Italy grew great in the estimation of civilised na tions, and demonstrated to Europe that the people of Italy were qualified to govern themselves. " By accepting the annexation, I was aware of the European difficulties with which I would have to contend, but I could not fail in the promise which I gave to the Italians when the war was proclaimed. Let those in Europe who would accuse me of imprudence calmly reflect what would have been the consequence, what would have be come of Italy, if the monarchy showed that it was incapable of satisfying the desire of national recon struction. " With regard to the annexation, the national movement, if it has not changed in substance, has taken new forma In accepting by popular right these noble and beautiful provinces, 1 ought loyally to recognise the application co! that principle. It was not permitted me to measure it by the stand ard of my own particular affections and interests. In virtue of this principle, I have, for the good of Italy, made a sacrifice which sorely tried my heart--tbe resigning of two most noble provinces of my hereditary kingdom. To the princes of Italy, who wished to remain my enemies, I gave sincere advice; determined, at the same time, if disregarded, " II afalk 4 siticipate the don't in which their blindness Id involve thy ;Girona, and to accept the of Italy. 4 _ln vain I offered to the Grand Duke , rpy alliance before the war. To the sovereign Pontiff, in whom I venerate the head of the reli gion of my ancestors and of my people, lin vain wrote when peace was made, offering to secure to him the vice-gerency of Umbria and the Marches. It was evident that these provinces, maintained alone by the aid of foreign mercenaries, would sooner or later have broken out into revolu tion if they did not obtain the securities of civil liberty which I proposed. I shall not call to mind the advice which was given for many years to King Ferdinand of Naples by foreign powers. The judgment which was passed in the Congresad Paris upon hie government naturally disposed the people to change it if the complaints of public opinion, and the efforts of diplomacy, continued tobe disregarded. I proposed an alliance with his young successor for the war of independence ; but here again I encoun tered hearts shut against all affection for Italy and minds blinded by passion. "It was quite natural that the events which bad taken place in Central Italy should have more or less excited the minds of the people of South Italy. In Sicily this disposition of the people found vent in open revolt. The people were fighting for liberty in Sicily, when a brave warrior devoted to Italy and to me —General Garibaldi—sprang to their assistance. They were Italians ; I could not, I ought not, to restrain them. The fall of the government of Naples confirmed what my heart knew, namely, how ne cessary to a king is the love, and to governments is the esteem, of the people. In the Two Sicilies the new regime was inaugurated in my name. But some sots have been done which have led to the apprehension that this policy represented by my name has not been properly interpreted. All Italy has feared that under the shade of a glori ous popularity, of an antique probity, there was a faction clustering which was ready to sacrifice the immediate triumph of the nation to the chimeras of its own ambitious fanaticism. All the Italians have applied to me to spirit away this danger. It was my duty to do so because in the existing state of things it would not be moderation, it would not be wisdom, but weakness and imprudence if I did not assume with a firm hand the direction of the national movement for which I am responsible before Europe. " I have caused my soldiers to enter the Marches and Umbria in order to disperse that jumble of persons of all nations and of all languages who were assembled there—a novel and strange form of foreign intervention, and the worst of aIL " I have proclaimed the Italy of the Italians, and I never will permit Italy to become a nest for cosmopolite seats who might gather there to concert plans of reaction or universal demagogy. " People of South Italy, my troops are coming amongst you to oonsolidate order ; I am not ooming to impose my will upon you, but to ensure that yours be respected. You can manifest it freely. Providence, which protects the just cause, will inspire the votes which you will cast into the urn. Whatever may be the gravity of events, I await with calmness the judgment of civilised Europe and that of history, because I am conscious that I am fulfilling my duties as a king and as an Italian. _ . _ " In Europe my policy perhaps will not be with out its nse, by reconciling the progress of peopled with the stability of monarch& In Italy I know that I close the era of revolutions.

It was rumoured that the Sardinian cabinet, it enter to maintain in the interior of Italy that union which is so ueceassay, has pro- Inieed the party of action to be prepared within six months to attack Venice in case the liberty of that province shall not have been sooner attained by diplo matic means. This rumour, which we only mention under all reserve, was greatly accredited in Turin. It appears be result from recent measures that, within six months or thereabouts, the effective of the Italian army will amonn► to 250,000 men, and that it will have a magnificent artillery, both as regards numbers and efficiency. Great reliance is planed at Turin upon the resources to be derived from Southern Italy. The soldiers of the army of the King of Naples will bo distributed among the Piedmont-see regiments, and in the provisoes of Calabria and the Abruzzi', where the spirit of the population is very military, there will be found all the necessary elements for the formation of nen corps. As to the Italian fleet, it is known that it is the object of most especial care on the part of the Piedmontese government, and by the aid of new acquisitions and the great resources found at Naples, it will become, in the course of a few months, a very powerful naval force. PROTEST OF THE NORTHERN POWERS. The Corriere Mercantile announces the fact of the protest made by the three Northern Powers against the acts of the Piedmontese government at Naples, This protest is made in the form of a circular to the respective envoys. According to the Gazette de Parma, the Russian government declares that on the entry of Piedmontese troops into Nnples, it will at once break off all relations with the govern ment of King Victor Emmanuel, "reserving to itself the right of adoptinifwhat further measures it may deem advisable for the protection of the public right of Europe."
