Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S motion, or statement, last night, on Foreign Affairs, left matters just as they were. His lordship entered into a general argument as to the affairs of unhappy Italy, and criticised the relations between the various ele ments of which that divided country is composed. Indeed, he expressed an opinion that Italy would never be settled while the POPE exercised any temporal power in that forlorn Peninsula. It was the compound character in which His Holiness • had acted that kept Italy in hot water for cen turies back. And now, to put the Cap of eternal Slavery on the Italians, the two Emperors pro posed, or rather had decided that the POPE 1 should be the honorary President of the several Italian Republics, or Dukedoms, or by whatever' other title they delight in. This is making con fusion worse confounded with a vengeance, but to Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S credit be it said, that he disavowed any accordance with such an anomalous settlement, or pretended settlement of such heterogeneous compounds. No, all that his lordship argued for was, that the House of Commons would not by any expression of opinion tie up the hands of the Government in their present dilemma, but leave them unfettered in the exercise of their discretion. Lord PALMERSTON argued in the same vein. as did also the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who laboured hard, but, we think, un successfully, in his endeavours to whitewash Lord PALMERSTON from certain sins of omission, and others of commission, during his tenure of the Foreign-office in the memorable struggle of 1848 for European independence. From the whole tenor of.the debate it is quite clear that Ministers intend to ' join the Congress or Conference, and that they do not like to be trammelled in their movements by any prospective decision on the part of the House of Commons. Indeed, this was quite evident from their desire to put off Lord ELCHO'S motion on that very difficult question. For our own part, we think that Ministers feel themselves to be in a very awkward fix. We be lieve they would do right if they could, but they are so hampered by Courtly necessities here, and Imperial predilections elsewhere, that they can hardly see their way. Indeed they have admitted as much, for they begged for time and free agency, in order to see " how the wind blew"—that they had not made up their minds as to the future, for the simple reason that they could not see into the dark hereafter of the fate of Italy. The sudden peace of Villafranca seemed only to make matters worse than they were, for one party, wishing to have all the honour, acted for himself alone, ignoring the right of his ally as if he had " no brother near the throne," while his Imperial antagonist jumped at every unlocked for concession, in the very light of a pure Godsend, as enabling him to do without the aid of his " neu tral" friends, who were only endeavouring to en cumber kim with their help. Hence the suddenness with which the peace of Villafranca was cooked up —to make things pleasant for the time being, and to let the future take of itself. And our Ministers now find themselves in the mazes of doubt, with as many horns in their dilemma as there are Members in their bewildered Cabinet ? We heartily wish them well out of it : but when ?---Aye ! there's the rub. Italy may prove a restless annuity for them, for there's no daylight to dawn upon their councils for years to come, as Lord JOIIN RUSSELL confessed last evening. It seems now to be admitted that the other sudden a nnouncement of the Emperor NAPOLEON was only a clap-trap to beguile the he arers of Lord JOHN itussELL's statement on Foreign Affairs. A n d so it seems to have ans wered its im p erial Purpose. But the wiseacres on the Bourse, or our Stock Ex change were not to be caught with chaff this time. ''hey were misled before, and now they would hesi tate even in believing the truth from such a qvarter. " There is no sincerity in it," was the general feeling, and hence the mistake ! Jugglers, be they Indian or Imperial, are sure to find t heir level when their dupes are made wide avvak4 to the fallacies attempted to be imposed on them as they have been inflicted before. So, the clap-1 trap of reducing the army and navy of France has iuh .sed its purpose. No. Let France reduce or t ingenent as she pleases, England will not abal ;e one shilling of her expenses or slacken a my ,ucle of her energy in being all prepared fo r whcr,tever may come—be it from any or from all quarters—for we have no friends but our right arm to trust to, and in that and the blessing of Providence we will put our faith, taking all due care to keep our powder dry. We scarcely have in our recollection anything more discreditable than the tone in which the member for Lambeth, yesterday, alluded to that great man, the Rajah of Sarawak, when question ing the advisability of a paltry vote in Committee of Supply, a wretched little rubbishing driblet of £4,209 to defray the expenses of Labuan—upon w hichpossession, recollect, Sir JAS. BROOKE himself has out of his own private purse expended at the very least some £30,000 sterling! Yet yesterday afternoon, Mr. W. WILLIAMS, the high-souled member for Lambeth—skinner of flints and parer of cheeses to a certain school of our political Eco nomists—had the extreme impertinence to de nounce this trumpery vote as (in Mr. WILLIAMS'S elegant phraseology) " little better than a job pen sion to a person named BROOKE (!) who had founded Labuan for his own benefit (!!) and had afterwards palmed it off on the British Govern ment (!!!)" Language like this, under ordinary circumstances, might reasonably be passed alto gether sub silentio as really and truly beneath contempt. But remembering that Sir JAMES BROOKE, by reason of the absolute and entire dedica tion to this very project of Labuan of the whole of his private fortune, of the best years of his honour able and memorable life, of his daring, of his genius, of his large ambition, and of his many noble aspira tions—is at this moment all but a ruined man, is but just now beginning slowly to recover from a serious and painful illness, brought on, it is not for an instant to be doubted, by excessive anxiety of mind, and by the physical wear and tear caused by his prolonged and reiterated vicissitudes ! Re membering all these indisputable facts, we say, the language employed yesterday by the member for Lambeth in reference to the Rajah of SARA WAK was no less than simply in one word disgraceful. No wonder the right hon. gentleman, the late Home Secretary, Mr. SOTHERON ESTCOURT, at once rose to express his conviction that the hon. member who had thus spoken so intem perately would upon reflection be sorry for having referred to a man like Sir JAMES BROOKE, in terms of such unjustifiable disparagement. No wonder Mr. ESTCOURT, though personally, as we are ourselves, a total stranger to the Rajah of Sarawak, protested strongly in the British House of Commons against his name being there mentioned in words so strangely disrespectful. No wonder the hon. gentleman the member for Pontefract should find himself impelled (in oppo sition to those disrespectful remarks uttered by Mr. W. WILLIAMS), to pronounce a glowing pane gyric upon Sir JAMES BROOKE, placing him, while doing so, in the same category with Sir WALTER RALEIGH and other distinguished adventurers! It was simply of a piece with the whole of this singu lar proceeding on the part of the hon. member for Lambeth that at the close of the discussion which he found, probably much to his surprize, he had thus provoked in committee, he coolly " disclaimed any intention of speaking of Sir JAMES BROOKE in any way disrespectfully." His language of course was only to be understood in a sense strictly and exclusively Pickwickian ! The vote equally as a matter of course was in the end agreed to—that munificent and mag nificent vote of .£4,209 ! During the discus sion, however, a hope was incidentally expressed by the noble lord the member for King's Lynn, to 1 the effect that the colony of Labuan might even- tually be dispensed with by the Government. Very earnestly, and not by any means for the first time —for we have written upon this matter for a long while past consistently and persistently very earnestly would we here at once express a hope of a diametrically opposite kind. The abandonment of Labuan, particularly now when new and most auspicious relations have been esta blished between this country and the vast Chinese empire, between England and the great insular empire of Japan, between England and her own superb empire of Hindostan, but yesterday, as it were, brought directly under the dominion of the SOVEREIGN—the abandonment of Labuan by the Imperial Government at such an epoch in the de velopment of our commercial intercourse with the Asiatic continent and the Eastern Archipelago would, in truth, we are firmly persuaded, be, in TALLEYRAND'S phrase, " worse than a crime—a mis take." It would be a crime perpetrated, in the treat ment of Sir JAMES BROOKE by his ungrateful country. It would be a mistake in regard to the real interests of that country itself. Precisely this very standing ground upon the north east coast of Borneo is what the Government of England ought most to deside rate as the Archimedian you sto for our commerce in the eastern seas. Labuan is precisely the very spot for a grand coaling depot in that quarter of the globe. There is coal actually there. Yet with everything to tempt us to the acquisition— gratitude, honour, interest—there is a grievous risk that Labuan may, out of the most mistaken motives of the most paltry economy, be allowed to slip from our grasp by the apathy, or the timidity, or the carelessness of the Imperial Government. 0 that the Rajah of SARAWAK had but been a Whig ! 0 that Sir JAMES BROOKE had but owned as his patronymic the name of GREY, or of ELLIOT, or of RUSSELL. The transfer in that case would have been managed so very easily. Yet, for all that, whatever may be the ultimate decision of the Legislature, or of the Administration, in reference to the colony of Labuan, the name of Sir JAMES BROOKE will survive to after generations among the glorious catalogue of those great British Worthies who have been among the noblest and the most heroic of the world's adventurers ! A letter from Rouen states that the harvest is now going on with great activity in that neigh bourhood. The crop, however, will be far less abundant than last year's, and not more than two thirds of an average one. Some fields of rye and oats which looked fine a short time since are scarcely worth the expense of cutting. MARSEILLES, Wednesday, July 27, B.3o.—Her Majesty's steam gun sloop Coquette entered the old harbour last night. As she was coming in her commander picked up a fishing boat, which had broken away from her moor ings and was drifting out to sea. The Courrier de Mar seilles of this evening publishes the following letter, dated yesterday, from Toulon :—" The steam gun sloop Coquette, which had left Marseilles for a short cruise, was surprised by bad weather near Toulon, and obliged to take shelter in this port. On entering she saluted the French flag with 21 guns which was immediately returned b y the forts, and then the flag of the Commodore, fly ing from the Ville de Paris with 11 guns, which was likewise returned. The Commodore, in consequence of the bad weather, sent off several of his boats to offer their services to the English gun sloop. The commander of the Coquette, Capt a i n Foley, b on landing made it is duty to * v il i t s t i l t e th cu e ri m os a i ri ty tim w e as authorities of our town, who received him It . ithe politest manner."

LATEST NEWS. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : COPENHAGEN, JULY 28. The Grand Duke Constantine of Russia is ex pected to arrive to-morrow from St. Petersburg. His Imperial Highness will probably remain here some days. The Faederlanted denies the reported assembling of the Council of State. TURIN, JULY 28. Chevalier Farrini, Governor of Modena, has, by order of King Victor Emmanuel, withdrawn the Sardinian authority, and has published a procla mation, in which he remits the Government to the members of the Municipality. The populace assembled in crowds, and pro claimed the Municipality by acclamation dictators of the country. Chevalier Farrini has accepted a provisional re gency in order to maintain public order and to re unite the Representative Assembly of Modena, which is to pronounce on the future settlement of the country. Perfect order and general confidence prevail. MILAN, JULY 28. To-day being the anniversary of the funeral of the late King Carlo Alberto, a grand ceremony took place to celebrate the same, which was attended by an immense concourse of the populace. The troops maintained perfect order., TURIN, JULY 28. Advices from Lodi, of yesterday's date, state that the populace, not having been informed of the arri val of French troops, for whose reception fetes had been prepared, were so irritated against the muni cipality that they compelled the members to resign. The King has appointed a provisional municipal committee. TRIESTE, JULY 28. Advices from Zara, of the 26th inst., state that four Austrian commercial vessels, captured on the 10th at Maleda, were given up on the 19th at Antivari. At the latter port there only remain one Sardinian trading brig and a Turkish steamer and corvette. FRANKFOKT, JULY, 28. In to-day's sitting of the Federal Diet, Austria, Prussia, and Baden made a common proposal con cerning the garrisoning of Rastadt, according to which Baden would name the governor and artil lery director, Austria the engineer director, and Prussia and Austria alternately the commander, The garrison would consist of 6,000 men when on a peace, and 12,000 when on a war footing, the contingents for which to be furnished by Austria, Baden, and Prussia. Austria and Prussia announced also that they had agreed to alternate the appoint ment of the commander every five years. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY. An electric cable has been la'A down between Cherbourg and the different forts of the roadstead and the advanced or fortified points of the coast. The war gave rise to a number of small daily publications which are sold about the streets in Paris with an exceptional permission on the part of the authorities. These papers, which were not subjected to any of the conditions imposed on the regular journals, are now to be suppressed. The preparations for the grand fete of the 15th August have been already commenced. The frame work for the fireworks is being erected on the heights of the Trocadero. PARIS BOURSE, July 28.—The note in the Moni teur, announcing the disarmament of France, has had a very favourable influence on the market, and a good business has been done in Threes, at 68f. 75c. and 68f. 80c. Mobilier varied from 825 f. to 830 f. ; Austrian, 567 f. 50c. to 572 f. 50c. ; Lombardo- Venetian, 567 f. 50c. to 570 f. ; Orleans, 1,345 f. to 1,347 f. 50c. ; Lyons, 857 f. 50c. to 860 f. ; Southern, 515 f. to 517 f. 50e.

The Opinioue of Turin, of the 26th, devotes a leading article to the Italian Confederation, which, it thinks, would be highly injurious to Piedmont, if it were not impossible. Austria, who has always been opposed to the liberal institutions of Pied mont, would, in the writer's opinion, find it her in terest to paralyze Piedmont in the Confederation, the mission of which would be, to justify all the arbitrary and reactionary acts of the other Governments. Piedmont, in endeavouring to pre vent them, would always be in a minority, nay, she might even be invited to adopt them, and in case she refused, attempts might be made to com pel her, although that would not be easy, because the people (of the other territories) would always be on her side. A Paris letter, in the Independance of Brussels, says:—" The Emperor Napoleon, in receiving the Marquis of Pallavicino, the Minister of the Duchess of Parma, treated him with great kindness, and made use of expressions which are of a nature to remove all uneasiness from the mind of her Royal Highness. The Emperor also received the Cheva lier Peruzzi, who was not, as has been stated, charged with a mission from the Provisional Go vernment of Tuscany to the French Government, but is merely the bearer of an address from the Consulta to the Emperor. His majesty received him most courteously, and in the counsels which he gave, insisted on the reasons which ought to induce Tuscany to accept the Government of the young Grand Duke, who does not, however, pro pose to return to the States, which the prelimi naries of Villafranca seem to desire to restore to him, unless with a constitution with which the people will have reason to be satisfied. I regret to say that the recital of a conversation said to have taken place recently between the Emperor and Lord Cowley is, quite unfounded. I should have been glad if I could have confirmed the details of the conversation alluded to, in which a general disarming was said to have been promised, but it appears certain that the Emperor did not make use of the language attributed to him, and that his majesty had not received Lord Cowley at the time since his return." AMERICA. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING. The screw steamer Bavaria, Capt. Tube, arrived at Cowes at 5 a.m., from New York on the 15th. Advices anticipated by the Vanderbilt.

During the last few days the market for Foreign and Colonial Produce has been very inactive; and, with a few exceptions, lower rates have been ac cepted for the principal articles. For tea, how ever, there has been a rather active inquiry, and at public sales higher rates are obtained for the better qualities of both China and Assam descriptions. Sugars have been inactive, and the limited business transacted in British West India has been in most instances at lower quotations. Foreign qualities have also shown a slight depreciation in value. Coffee has been in moderate ',demand at about late rates, Plantation Ceylon being most inquired for. Rice has been dull, and the inferior descriptions have declined ls. to ls. 6d. per cwt. There has been rather more demand for saltpetre at about former quotations, and tallow is a shade firmer. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed steadily, and prices were without alteration. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales. In Railway Shares the transactions continued on a limited scale, but a slight improvement was apparent in values. A steady demand for money is still experienced in the discount market, and the applications at the Bank are more numerous than for some time past. The rates continue firm, and an upward tendency may be produced by the preparations for the 4th of the month, and other demands. The City of Baltimore has been announced this morning from the United States with £218,434 in specie: The meeting of the shareholders of the Unity Bank took place to-day, Mr. Alderman Mechi in the chair. The report was encouraging, and showed a nett profit of £986 19s. 4d. in the busi ness of the six months. It was proposed that the above sum of £986 19s. 4d. should be taken to the account, and for the liquidation of old liabilities. After some discussion, the report was adopted. At the meeting of the Scottish Australian In vestment Company, also held to-day, a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum was declared. The half-yearly meeting of the Electric Tele graph Company took place to-day, when a report was presented showing a total revenue of £97,906, from which the directors recommended a dividend at the rate of 61- per cent. per annum. The report is now (2 o'clock) under discussion. There has been very little animation in the mar ket for public securities to-day, and the tendency of prices has been less favourable than might have been anticipated, considering the satisfactory feel ing created by the announcement in the Moniteur. Consols have been 95 to 951, but they are now 94 I for money, and 941 95 for the account. The buoyancy of the market has been checked by sales of money stock, and the approaching loan for India. The New Threes and the Reduced are steady, at 951; Bank Stock is 221 to 223 ; and Exchequer Bills, 28s. to 31s. prem. The 5 per Cent. Annui ties have advanced to 111 ; India Loan Debentures 1858, are flat, at 931 ; and the Scrip is steady, at 941. In the Foreign Stock Market business is rather inactive, and Prices exhibit a downward tendency. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 79 to 81; ditto New Loan, 701 to 711 ; and the 4 per Cents. have re ceded to 1041 ; Venezuelan 1 per Cents., to 14-T, ; and Portuguese, to 443- I; Spanish 3 per Cents. are steady at 44 ; and Brazilian 41 per Cents. are firm at 941.

The Genoa Gazette announces the sale of thorough-bred English riding horses, one six years old and the other eight, both bay, belonging to M. Kossuth. Senator Desambrois, the Piedmontese Commis sioner for the Treaty of Peace, left Turin on Tues day for Zurich. On Tuesday evening the Fairy, with the royal standard at the main and the Admiralty flag at the fore, with the Elfin paddle yacht in attendance, steamed up to Spithead from Osborne on a visit to the fleet. Her Majesty was received with a royal salute and Tanned yards from each ship as the royal yacht steamed slowly past, the Russian frigate Polkan joining in the demonstration. After steam ing from cast to west of the outer line of the fleet, the Fairy passed down the inner line and round the Polkan, after which her Majesty returned to Os borne. The fleet is now anchored at Spithead in two divisions.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tins DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed Bray Commons, and Ipswich (Borough) Fishery. The Lucettia Estate Bill was read a second time. ELECTION PETITIONS. The members nominated to serve on the Clteltenha ra and Limerick election committees were sworn. INCOME TAX, &c., BILL. On the motion for going into committee, Mr. PIGOTT, who had a motion on the paper to the effect that the proposed assessment on tr a d es a nd prefq; sions should be reduced from 4d. to 2d. in the pound, sal" he would not press his amendment at present, considering the late period of the session, but he hoped the Govern' ment would consider the subject next session, with a vi a l° to placing it on a more satisfactory footing. He hoped th° Chancellor of the Exchequer would not look to this tag as a permanent source of revenue, and that he retained the opinion he expressed in 1853, that that impost was 4 : 1 ; 16- cult to be collected, inquisitorial, and therefore u npopilla r i consequently that it should not be retained as a perinea° source of income. Sir H. VILLO UGHBY considered that after the howl! had agreed to the resolutions on the tax he thought it would be most inexpedient to raise a question like the Pr? . sent. The only amendment he would suggest was that in those cases where the income amounted only to one-1 . , or three-fourths of the financial year th a t p a rties show not be taxed for the whole year. He mentioned two easel of hardship that had arisen in the collection of this tax, the first being when the income liable to taxation was roa d up partly of an annuity solely the property of the wife, a ll the next when firemen employed on railways receivedt° amount that brought them within the operation of Ur tax, while they had to expend a large sum on the clothes they required for their employment. • lit Mr. BENTINCK expressed some surprise that the d hon. gentleman, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, all° 1 " advocate the increase of this tax, having been a member oo a Government that endeavoured to carry on the war t il t Crimea on a peace establishment, which resulted in gr ea disaster. He thought if the country were called on to a dy a war tax in time of peace, that they should be satisn that the national defences were maintained in efficiency e d Col. SYKES proposed that in cases of income deriv. from professions, the parties should be taxed at half their incomes. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he agreed with the last remark of the hon. member ( 141. * Bentinck), but he denied that he was almember of a Govern' ment that carried on war on a peace establishment, the in- come-tax having been doubl e d a t th e b rea ki ng ou t of th e Crimean war. With reference to the first case alluded to the hon. member for North Warwickshire, ho could on,l say that there were inequalities i n thi s t ax whle appeared inseparable from it; but cases like the one ill question did not warrant any alteration in the law. Il r , ith respect to the other case, there was a special ^louse ill the act which provided a remedy for the hardships complain a of, which could be brought under the notice of the in- I ° A revenue. He adhered to the opinions he formerly expreaar" with reference to this tax. The house then went into committee. Clause 1 was agreed to. On clause 2, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY moved an addition to t he clause, that annuities expiring in October and Ja1 1115 "„,, should, in the former, be charged only fo r th e h a lf Ye'' and in the latter only three-fourths of the year. After some discussion, the house divided. For the amendment 37 Against 72 Majority The amendment was accordingly lost, and the ori clause was agreed to. Clauses 3,4, and 5, were also agreed to. On clause 6, Mr, BEALE suggested that the malt tax should be CI) g lected;like any other tax, nam e ly, w h en it accrued, b u t tha e the maltster should be allowed two years to paY £2,500,000 now, or about being due. : A he The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said - could not make any alteration in the schedule this session. The clause was then agreed to, as well as clause 7. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER m°' an additional clause to the bill providing that persons P chasing annuities from insurance companies s hould allowed the same deduction with regard to the income 7, -- t that was granted to those who had pu rc h ase d G ove rnree annuities. The clause was added and the house resumed. [LEFT SITTING.] ELECTION COMMITTEES.—(This DO') • The Aylesbury, Huddersfield, andj Gloucester (ci tY) committees resumed their sittings to-day.

The easist course for Great Britain to pur si g under present circumstances would be, no doubt , st say to the two Emperors—" W e p ro t es t e d a ga'° „f your going to war ; we n ow was h our h a nds !. your peace." Mr. Disraeli recommends this cola; as most consistent with our dignity. We are 11 .1 sure that he is ri g ht. It may su it our na tio n pride. It would be one way of showing something i like pique and rese n t men t t o wards the E mper or 1: the French for not having waited to hear our lit vice. But we are not sure that when a man, bi following his own headstrong determination in and saying 01 ) : A l himself i e c n o t u n n a s el s mess, w at may once embarrassingha v e tend e r dangerous to o th ers, true d i gn iti , displayed by turni ng our back uP °P h po im si , ti g o e n ts to a with superciliou s self-esteenr; I told you how it would b e —you may 11°1 his to i mhtierna and be f reap what you have sown —thank Heaven , have nothing to do with it, and, please Pies' '— t Ido not mean to h ave. " Would it not better, more dignified, more disinterested, to sO r n o " What is done cannot be undone—but is there;(l way by which We can neutralise the ev il o f it, , is expand the good ? Cannot we help to mend unhappy bu s i ness ?" We are told that Napew L wishes th e neutral Powers to give as full a 11r7; tical development as possible to his preliinil, ° ''' o f bases. Now, if th e b ases are such as to odta",or this expansion, an d if it b e a f act that the really desires us to breath into his work a life w ir may beautify and utilise it, we are not quite °,°. t i o vinced th a t we s h ou ld act e i ther a noble or a Po',ao part to withh o ld th a t a d v i ce an d moral help toscaio relieving Italy from foreign oppression, which wei e ready enough t o g i ve b e f ore t h e comnie°co. ment of the war. The preliminaries of peace s i gne d at Vill a fra a n c o are not positively and necess ar il y antagonistic t, Napoleon's programme. The annexat i on o f Loin of bardy to Sardinia contains at least a gern i • c o Italian nationality in it. A n It a li an con f e dera.tl eo under the presidency of the P o p e presents t h e id of unity, although in an imp oss ibl e shape. Neit'of the Pope, nor Victor Emmanuel, nor the Kin ea , Naples, will consent to thi s rea li sat i on of the 1u,,,.0 The sovereigns of Tusca n y, M o d ena and Parnia7o to be restored to their thrones —but who undertall e a to conduct them b ac k i n oppos i tion to the ar med protest of their re s p ec ti ve peoples ? Austria, .. course, will not b e a ll owe d to d o t h at f or &jut which she was summone d to so bl oo d y an accost' France, as w e are t o ld w ill not. Meanwhile de facto governments of these states, in concurretw O , with the wishes of their people, persist in clairaill to be ruled by Victor Emmanuel. If Napole o n cloy: not intend to overawe them as his friends very CO ght not the neutr a l P owers unit , m m i oment, in pers ua di ng th e bew, at tthe fidently present asse assert—might gerents to leave the solution to the Italians them, selves ? Might not a treaty, b ase d upon t h e Villa franca preliminaries, really secure Italy from eith er Austrian or French i n t ervent i on ? If it " 0 4 0 ascertained that fou r ou t o f the five great PeW;it were favourable t o th e f ram i ng of a permao!.. arrangement to this effect, and that the fifth in no position to resist, would it be wise --ee o r tinly it would not be magnanimous —to refuse e iit aid in effecti ng suc h a sett l ement ? For 111 . 11 0 ,, would be its result ? In It a l y , th e centra l state 9 8 to their own political disposition, would rell. themselves under Victo r E mmanuel, receive eellstr. tutional government, a n d en j oy f reedom of Ocig science. Here would b e a t once an effectua l t he put upon revolution, and Italy left to herself w° l3 . not be unlikely to becom e a strong nat i on. Euro pap , thus relieved from a perennial source of irritatlm, would be all the more disposed to a general : / ; e r armament—and, as M r . B r i g h t suggested the eli'.l,o night, liberal fiscal arrangements might w e e ties betwe en G reat Britain and F ri , e-- io t which would be the best possible guarantee agt l , l7 ,ti future war, and most e ff ec t ua ll y destroy o ur lialw" 1 to invasion panics. to the It seems to us that the way is vet open t be neutral powers, if they are so agreed, to make i , po "o. Peace of Villafranca substantially all that NaPt - Oft set forth as the object of the war. They can - for e do what they may have desired to be done b e '; Austria crossed the Ticino. And if the Emperor of French really wishes their moral help in °; 0 8, cil, or in congress, in order that it may be one, surely our national pride ought not to stand iu tr ia way. It is significant that the friends of A ll , s no la are now most urgent in their advice that we sird o eS stand aloof from, this peace. Austria herself s pr not wish tl consult us. There is something t 31 1 1 , 013. cious in this sudden change.
