" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of strictifre, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. Byhis systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

" In principle, sovereignty implies essentially the right of alienation. A Sovereign may, whatever be the motives that actuate him, cede the whole or a part of his States, and none would be justified in opposing either measure unless there should result from it any disturbance of the balance or distribe tion of power in Europe. His Majesty the King of Sardinia, is therefore free, according to his preroga tive=, to renounce the possession of Savoy in favour of France. The first point cannot be disputed, and is not capable, in strict right, of becoming the ob ject of any doubt, or of raising any legal difficulty. " In fact, however, the exercise of sovereign right in a matter of cession may, by international stipula tions, be made subservient to conventional restric tions; and it is thus that the Federal Council thinks it its duty to found, on a convention of 1564, and on the treaties of 1815, the allegation that Sardinia cannot divest itself of Savoy without renouncing its engagements. " The question consequently narrows itself to the inquiry in what degree the Sardinian Government is bound by the acts to which I have just referred. "The convention of 1564 exclusively agreed to between the Seigneurs of Berne and the Duke of . Savoy, had for its object an allotment and boun daries which subsequent events have frequently mo dified without any protest on the part of Switzer land. She relied on a situation and upon contin gencies which have no analogy with an actual state of possession. She finds herself, therefore, barred by the force of the circumstances themselves ; and so true was this, that no mention of the matter was made in the acts of 1815, where care was, neverthe less, taken to recall previous conventions still exist ing, or maintained in vigour, and especially that of 1754. There remain then the treaties of Vienna. , What do they stipulate ? and how have the Pleni -1 potentiaries happened to be agreed upon the clauses which concern the eventual neutralisation of a por tion of Savoy ? It is necessary, in order to define precisely the character and scope of these clauses, to recall here the negotiations to which they gave rise. Switzerland, at the Congress of Vienna, soli cited, as essential to the defence of her southern frontier, the cession of several territories which were equally claimed by the Envoys of the King of Sar dinia. The Sardinian Plenipotentiaries, after long discussions, adhered to the demand of the Helvetic Confederation—subject, however, to a combination calculated in the interest of Piedmont and origi nating with themselves. This combinaticn is pre cisely that which in certain cases has the effect of extending the guarantees of neutrality to the northern part of Savoy. "fhe undersigned,' de clared M. de St. Marsan, in his memorandum of the 26th March, 'is authorised to consent, in favour of the Canton of Geneva, to the cession of the territory on the following conditions !---- " ' That the provinces of Chablais and Faucigny shall be included in the neutrality of Switzerland; that the Sardinian troops may retire by the route of the Valais ; that the armed troops of no other Power shall either remain in, or pass through, these pro vinces, with the exception of such as the Helvetic Confederation may think proper to station there.' " This arrangement, therefore, had for its object to cover a portion of Savoy; and Switzerland, by its acquiescence, obliged herself to secure the exe cution of it by pledging herself on the one hand to afford a passage to Sardinian troops to return to Piedmont, and on the other, to station, in case of ' need, Federal troops in the neutralised country. The engagement accepted by the confederation was the equivalent for a territorial 'cession made to the Canton of Geneva, and the eventual neutralisation of Chablais and Faucigny—a guarantee stipulated for the advantage of Sardinia,.and the cempensa tim for a sacrifice. This neutralisation had not then been originally arranged with a view to the protection of the Swiss frontier, which was Suffi ciently defended by an impassable barrier—that is to say, the neutrality proclaimed by agreement of the Powers. On the contrary, it was imposed as a charge on Switzerland, which accepted it on one rous conditions. " What foundation, after this, can the Hervetic Confederation have for invoking the Acts of 1815 is opposing the cession of Savoy to France? The Council General might pretend that this cession modifying the terms of the contract, it is lawful for them to consider themselves exonerated, with re spect to Sardinia, from the obligation of watching over the maintenance of the neutrality of Chablais and Faucigny ; but one cannot understand that they should wish to avail themselves of the occasion to contest with Piedmont the right to dispose of this province, and to declare that an attack is made on the guaranteed security of the Confederation. " Does not the situation of Switzerland, so far as it may be gathered from the negotiations, establish the tact that the Council General interposes, with out legitimate grounds, in the arrangements which the Governments of the Emperor and the King of Sardinia propose to conclude ? " I observe, moreover, sir, that it is open to us to inquire how far the stipulations of 1815 on this special point conform with the whole of the com binations agreed upon at that period between the Powers who signed the treaties of Vienna to ensure the neutrality of the Helvetic Confederation. But that is a question which the Government of the Emperor ought to discuss with those Powers ; and I do not hesitate to say that we are disposed to adopt any compromises suggested, whether for the general interest, or especially for the interest of S wit zerlan d.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL, A- Court of Common Council was held yesterday at Guildhall—The Lord Mayor presiding. MR. COBDEN AND THE COMMERCIAL TREATY. Mr. W. CONNELL, according to notice, submitted the following resolution, viz.:—" That the freedom of this City, in a box of the value of 50 guineas, be presented to Richard Cobden, Esq., M.P. in recog. nation of his long and eminent services in liberating commerce from the shackles which prevented the development of the industrial enterprise of this country; and also for his voluntary and patriotic exertions in negotiating the recent treaty with France." In support of the resolution the hon. member said he regarded it as one of those motions which must be particularly acceptable to the Court, and which must be necessarily adopted by a very large majority. (Cheers.) The gentleman to whom it referred was of humble origin, being the son of an honest and respectable tenant farmer; but, like most men of capacity and industry, he found sucka sphere too limited, and, coming to the great metro polis, he entered a commercial establishment in a very subordinate capacity, and, after rising to a high position there, he commenced his career as a manu facturer and public man. (Hear.) He was active in the agitation connected with the first Reform Bill —a measure which had tended to raise England to her present proud position. (Cheers.) Subsequently he took an active part in the agitation for the Muni cipal Corporations Reform Bill, and after Manchester became a borough, he was one of its aldermen. (Hear.) Then he was connected with the Anti- Corn-law League—in fact, known - as its chief and its head—and who, in that Court at all events, could entertain a doubt of the great advantages reaped by England from the repeal of the corn laws fs The years that had elapsed since that repeal were pre-eminent above all former times for the commercial prosperity of the country, as well as for the loyalty happiness, and comfort' of all the people. (Cheers.) Ever since then the life of Mr. Cobden bad been devoted to the extension of com merce and its liberation from all the shackles that pressed upon its freedom. Latest of all, he had been the prime mover in contracting the commercial treaty between this country and France, and if he had done nothing else than to bring about that treaty, with the extraordinary budget which had accompanied it, he had surely done sufficient to command from that Court a direct and substantial recognition of his services as a public man. (Cheers.) The treaty was to be recognised and applauded, not alone on commercial grounds ; it must have the effect of • lessening the probability of war be tween the two countries, one of its objects, as de clared in its preamble, being to draw closer the ties of peace and amity between the two countries. (Hear.) No doubt there were some who objected to the treaty, that its reciprocity was all on one side. (Hear.) Well, if that objection did exist here, it "existed also in France •, and therefore the cry on one side of the Channel negatived the in fluence of that on the other. (Cheers.) Both Houses of Parliament, despite the array of parties and the clamour of political conflicts, had accepted the treaty ; and for the corporation of 'the great o m m F e r r e c tn i a l the e d enlightened sem m ere commercial City of London to condemn it would surely b e de rogatorynegotiation of w h ic h M r . Cob in n t H o them(Hear, hear.) a c d e n had been so actively engaged, vast b ene fits must accrue both to England and France, and the best mode of exhibiting their ap preciation of h is g reat services would be for that b tr il) e d a y t , Court to rank him amongst themselves, by voting to him the freedom of the City of London. (Loud applause.) Mr. Alderman AIECHI, in cordially seconding the motion, addressed himself principally to the ser vices rendered by Mr. Cobden in connection with benefits had resulted to landlords, farmers, and the repeal of the co rn laws—assertin g that g reat labourers, and that E n g land would henceforth al. ways be able to compete with any nation in the world in the production of human food. Mr. Thos. BARKLEY proposed the following amendment :—" That this Court is of opinion that the constant presentation of the freedom of the City detracts from the honour an d usefulness of the same, and, in the present position o f the cor p oration, is ill-timed and uncalled-for." No man had. a higher opinion of Mr. Cobden than he ( Mr. Barkle y ), and yet lie could not support the motion, which, if brought forward at all, ought to have been brought forward after the repeal of the corn law s . It had been said Mr. Gladstone approved of Mr. Cobden's conduct in connection with the treaty ; but bear Mr. Gladstone was a party concerned—(hear, hear) —and he (Mr. Barkley) would not stop to give the opinion of Mr. Disraeli—(derisive laughter)—be cause it might be said that Mr. Disraeli was no fi iend to Mr. Cobden. (Hear.) But there was Lord Overstone, to whom that objection could not apply, and who had said that Mr. Cobden was not the person to whom the negotiations should have been entrusted; while the general opinion of those well acquainted with' such matters was that the re ciprocity of the treaty was all on one side. (Hear, and oh, oh.) It was a most unpleasant task to op pose such a motion before the Court. but he felt it his duty to do so, and he should therefore press his amendment, and he hoped at all events not to be in a very large minority. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DE JERSEY searonded the amendment, broadly asserting, amid a mingled storm of disapprobation and applause, that Mr. Cobden, in his public career, had never had regard to the general interests of his country, but only to those of the Manchester cot ton lords, who had well rewarded him by a pay ment of £Bo,ooo—a sum which Mr. Cobden, in the excess of .his patriotism; instead 'of investing in English stock or English railways, had invested in American railways; and, after speaking of the commercial treaty as an advantage to the upper and middle classes, but an absolute robbery with regard to the pOor, he concluded by saying that the treaty, as a whole, would prove one of the greatest curses that had ever fallen on this country, and called upon the court not to signify its approval of its provisions by adopting the resolution and voting the freedom of the City to its chief negotiator. Mr. Cox expresser], his surprise at the nature of the opposition offered to the motion by the previous speaker. He admitted that the reciprocity of the treaty was all on one side; but, apart from the treaty, the services of Richard Cobden, in connec tion with the repeal of the corn laws, entitled him to-the freedom of the City, Which the corporation could not without dishonour to itself withhold. Mr. Deputy FRY said that if the repeal of the corn laws had thrown large profits into the pockets of the manufacturers, had it not also been instru mental in providing a vast additional amount of employment for the working classes, and placed many additional comforts and luxuries mithin their reach. (Cheers.) Richard ,CAbden was not a war like hero, w ith corseted brava; ribboned_ sheallike. medalled breast, or gartered knee; but he had stormed many a fortress of monopoly, carried on many a war against prejudice, and carried peace and plenty to the hones of thousands and thousands of his countrymen ' • and in voting honour to such a man the court would do honour to itself. (Loud and prolonged cheering.) Mr. ELLIOTT thought the question ought never to have come before the Court, since it involved abstract questions of political economy, upon which opinions must necessarily differ. In the merits of the discoveries of the North• West Passage, or thg hero of Lucknow, there was something tangible and positive, upon which there must be perfect unani mity of opinion ; but, with the exception of the re peal of the corn laws,—for which he had been well rewarded—Mr. Cobden had done nothing to develop practically any great and noble principle either in or out of Parliament. Mr. NORRIS, M.P., said there appeared to be hardly a doubt as to the magnitude of the services conferred by Mr. Cobden in connection with the repeal of the corn laws, although there seemed to be considerable difference of opinion as to the com mercial treaty with France—(hear, hear)—unless, therefore, the amendment were rejected by a deci sive majority, he (Mr. Norris), after its rejection, should move to omit that part of the resolution re• lating to the commercial treaty, in order that there might be unanimity in the ultimate decision of the Court—(hear, hear, and no, no)—although he should prefer to see the resolution carried as it stood. After some further discussion, in which Mr. R. N. Philipps supported the resolution, the amendment was negatived on - a show of.hands ; a result which was affirmed on a division by 79 to 34 —majority 45. Mr. Deputy HARRISON then moved the modifi cation of the resolution according to the previous suggestion of Mr. J. S. Norris, which was also negatived on a division by 65 to 31— majority, 34. The original motion was then put and agreed to amidst much cheering. The Court then adjourned. shall make it a point of honour to realise all your wishes, and the annexation of a country connected with France by so many bonds will become for it a now cause of prosperity and progress. " When you return to your fellow-citizens tell them how much I have been touched by the mani festation of which you have been the honourable organs. There are among you so many descend ants of those families who have contributed to the illustration of France in the career of science, as well as of arms, that everything concurs in ex plaining and justifying the work of union under preparation'," The President then addressed the Empress and the Prince Imperial as follows : Madame,—Will your Majesty allow those who will soon be your new subjects to express to you, on this day so momentous for them, all the senti ments that animate them!' " Savoy is an affectionate land, Madame ; it loves its Princes. how could it fail not dearly to love you, endowed with so much grace and virtue P " Savoy hopes that you will also love it, and that you will soon give a precious proof thereof by show ing yourself among us. " And you, Monseigneur, you who are destined to continue so much greatness, our children will be as devoted to you as we are to the Emperor, your glorious father. As soon as we return to our moun tains we will make them ring with the shout of Vire l'Empereur ;" Vive le Prince Imperial." The deputation then handed to the Emperor vari ous sladresrea," With - numerous signatures, among which was the following document : " In the midst of the general anxiety for the future welfare of our country, whatever may be the determination of the King under the grave circum stances which may induce him to separate himself from the cradle of his family, Savoy has, in this solemn moment, duties and sentiments which must unite all her children in one common line of action. " Those sentiments and duties consist in remi niscences, love of country, respect for the fraternal bonds which unite in a secular community of glory and suffering the members of the old Savoyard • family. " Can that noble family be disunited ? Can ber nationality be sacrificed without a motive and with out right to the strange pretensions of the Helvetic Confederation ? What crime has Savoy committed against her King and against France to deserve such an insult ? " In presence of the danger which appears to threaten her she must rise unanimously, and the undersigned representatives at the provincial coun cil of the districts of Savoy Proper, Upper Savoy, Maurienne, and Tarcntaise believe they are fulfil ling an imperious duty cf conscience and honour in laying before their King and before the Sovereign of France a respectful and energetic protest against the cession to Switzerland of Faucigny and the Chablais.

" Monsieur le Comte,—The Emperor, in his Speech to the great bodies of the State on the opening of the Legislative Session, expressed his ideas in the prevision of a considerable territorial alteration on the other side of the Alps, and an nounced the intention of submitting to the wisdom and equity of Europe a question which is not raised by the ambition of France, but in a manner put by the very events themselves. His Majesty has con sidered that the moment has come to fulfil this en gagement; and I hasten, in conformity with his orders, to empower you to communicate our ex planations to the Cabinet of London. " Solemn acts, freely adhered to, on the termi nation of a campaign fortunate for our arms, have established in the most ir:efragable manner that we had not for object any territorial aggrandise ment when circumstances forced us to intervene in the affairs of Italy. If the Imperial Government has been enabled to foresee, in hypotheses, from which disinterestedness ought not entirely to banish prudence, a situation analogous to that which to• day presents itself, we flatter ourselves not only that we have not sought to bring it about, but that we have, on the contrary, endeavoured, in all con junctures, to follow the course most fitted to keep it out of the chances of the future. The st.ipula- tions of Zurich, like those of Villafranca, excluded it entirely. Although the possession of Lombardy strengthened Piedmont on the Alps, we had no he sitation in silencing our own interest ; and, far from favouring the delevopment of a state of things which could furnish us with legitimate and press ing reasons for claiming guarantees, we employed, as Europe knows, all our influence to realise, in their literal tenor, the dispositions of treaties which reserved the maintenance of the territorial circum scriptions of Central Italy. " I need not now advert to the circumstances which have prevented the success of our efforts. "The Government of her Britannic Majesty has been the first to appreciate their character. It will suffice to recall the fact that the necessity of con cerning ourselves, before all things, and in the general interest, with the establishment of a defini tive order of things in the peninsula, alone deter mined us to seek, in combinations different from tint which we had fruitlessly essayed to make triumph, the means of 'settling the pending ques- tions. A new situation forced itself thenceforward on our foresight; and without putting ourselves in opposition to the policy which has constantly in spired both the acts and the language of the Empe ror, we had, nevertheless, to consider the prejudicial effect which new arrangements in Italy might be capable of inflicting on our own interests. " It is impossible to dispute the fact that the for mation of a considerable State. possessing both slopes of the Alps, is an event of the highest gravity with regard to the security of our frontiers. The geographical situation of Sardinia acquires an inm= portance which it could not have when that king dom hardly counted four million soulF, and was, in some sort, held by a great number of conventions to be external to the peninsula. With a develop ment which must nearly triple its population aid its material resources, the possession of all the passes of the Alps would permit it, in the case of its alliances ever making it our adversary, to open access to our territory to a foreign army, or by its own forces to disturb the security of an important part of the empire, by intercepting our principal line of military and commercial communication. To demand guarantees against an eventuality, of which the occurrence, however distant we may suppose it to be, does not diminish the peril, is simply to obey the most legitimate considerations and the most ordinary courses of international polity, which never at any period has assumed gra titude and sentiment as the one basis of the rela tions of States. " Besides, are these guarantees calculated to give umbrage to any Power ? Are they not, on the con trary, in the conditions of a just balancing of strength, and above all indicated by the nature of things which has placed our system of defence at the foot of the western slope of the Alps ? At divers periods of history for the two last centuries, espe cially when there was a question of settling the eventual succession to the throne of Spain, and later, when the succession of Austria was in ques tion, combinations have been discussed which ex tended the possessions of Piedmont in Italy, and gave to her sometimes Lombardy, sometimes other contiguous territories. "In such views, assuredly less vast than that which is now before us, the annexation of Savoy and of-the county of Nice 'has always been consi dered by several of the principal Powers of Europe as a compensation necessary for France. " Confident that my thoughts cannot allow of Use interpretations, I experience no embgragsment FRANCE AND SAVOY. The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the follow ing account of the reception by the Emperor of the deputation of the provincial councillors of the principal towns charged to present to his Majesty the addresses of-their fellow-citizens on the subject of the annexation of Savoy : The Empress and the Prince Imperial were pre sent at the reception. The President of the deputation, Count Grefie de Bellecombe, read the following address to his Majesty : "Sire,—ln approaching your Majesty a first sentiment dominates us all; it is that of our profound admiration for the Sovereign who, after having been elected by the whole of France, has known how to increase still more her glory and her prosperity. " Sire,—So many natural bonds, so many glorious reminiscences unite Savoy to France, that she trembled with happiness when the august word of your Majesty gave the hope to our country that she was about to be called to make part of the great French family with the assent of its legiti mate Sovereign. " One single anxiety has alone hitherto impeded the impulse—the tear of seeing dismembered in favour of Switzerland a nationality compact by affection and by so many links of every descrip tion. " The provisional councillors who represent Savoy have charged us, Sire, to place at the feet of your Majesty the earnest prayer to shield our country from such a misfortune, mid the municipal coun cillors of the principal towns have wished to join their deputations to ours. " Sire,—Your Majesty will appreciate the reserve imposed upon constituted bodies, upon men who have always been faithful subjects of their King, as they will be of your Majesty. But after the acts of the Government of tho King we may doubtless be allowed to address to your Majesty the expression of the sentiments we entertain for France, Dear which Savoy will find not only grandeur and glory, but also the sympathy and safeguard of all her moral and material interests. " From the shores of Lake Leman to the valleys of Mont Cenis those who have been honoured with the votes of their fellow-citizens have hastened to your Majesty to express the joy that Savoy will feel when she m . shall b 3 fully reunited (reue) to France, and when she may always have with that great and noble nation but one cry, that of 'Vive l'Empereur !" Vive la France !'" The Emperor replied as follows : " Gentlemen,—l thank you for the sentiments you,have just expressed towards me, and I receive you with pleasure. The King of Sardinia having agreed to the principle of the reunion of Savoy and of the county of Nice to France, I may, without dereliction of any international duty, express to you my sympathy, and welcome the expression of your wishes. The circumstances under which this rectification of frontiers takes place are so excep tional that at the same time that they respond to legitimate interests they do not jar upon any prin ciple, and consequently do not establish any dan gerous precedent. " In fact, it is neither by conquest nor by insur rection that Savoy and Nice will be reunited to France, but by the free consent of the legitimate Sovereign supported by the popalar adhesion. Thus everything which in Europe does not cede to a spirit of antagonism of another period looks upon this adjunction of territory as natural and just._ The reception given to the communications ad dressed by my Government to the Powers repre sented at the Congress of Vienna authorises for the majority of them the founded hope of a favourable examination.* "My friendship for Switzerland made me look upon it as possible to detach in favour of the Con federation some portions of the territory of Savoy; but, in face of the repulsion shown among you at the idea of seeing a country dismembered which has known how to create f or i tself throug h cen turies a glorious individuality, an d t h us g i ve it se lf a national history, it is natural to declare that I will not constrain the wishes of the populations to the profit of others. As regards the political and commercial interests which unite certain portions .of Sacoy to Switzerland, it will be easy, I think, to satisfy them by special arrangements. " I hope, then, gentlemen, that I may consider you as members of the great French family. I * Autorise pour la plupart d'entre elles la juste esperance d'un examen favorable. i , ?. , , !` _,.., 'la 4 1.,, : 1 : / . 4., / \, PRICE 4 D • STAMPED, s°. in quoting a precedent of more recent date. May it not be permitted to seek a lesson from the history of our century without evoking irritating remem brances Which the present generation repudiate ? I will, therefore, call to mind that at a moment when Europe was little disposed to use forbearance with regard to France, it recognised on the Alps the ne cessities of our geographical situation, and unani mously thought it equitable to leave to us a portion of the territory which has now become much more indispensable to our security. It was only under the impression of the events of the following year that that clause was annulled. The Emperor, on ascending the throne, spontaneously deelaral that he: accepted as the rule of his relations with Europe the respect of treaties concluded by preceding Governments, and this is a principle of con duct to which . his Majesty will always make it a law to rcmain faithful. But it is im possible not to recognise the exceptional cha racter of the circumstances which determine us to demand that a modification should now be effected n the delimitation of the frontier lastly traced be• tween France and Sardinia. The result of the war has been to ling about, by the cession of Lom bardy to Piedmont, a first change in the territorial circumscriptions of Italy; the annexation of other States to this kingdom constitutes a new change of which the consequences have fer us especial gravity ; and it is in no way an abandonment of the respect accorded on all occasions by the Govern. znent of the Emperor to existing treaties, to demand that they should not, in reality, be altered to our detriment. "In a communication which is addressed before all things to the good faith of the Cabinets of Europe, and which proves that which animates the Government of the Emperor, ought I to hesitate to say that, in restoring Savoy to Piedmont, it was wished to constitute that country guardian of the Alps, so that it should hold the passes into France open However annoy!ng (facheuse) that situation was, we loyally resigned ourselves to it during half a century ; still more, we even accepted it after a eimpaign in Italy, which would easily have furnished us the occasion of changing it ; but ought we to admit that the conditions which we have scrupulously respected, so as to import no trouble into our international relations, should be aggravated. And can Europe, on its side, think it just that, in addition to the weight with which they already bore upon us, should he added that of a State of which the force will have tripled in the course of one year In inviting the modification of the treaties on this point, we in some sort c , .nfine ourselves to asking that one of their stipulations may not acquire, beyond even the wish of the Powers which subscribed them, a bearing more grave and a sense more disadvantageous. I hasten to add that the Government of the Emperor does not wish to obtain the guarantees which it demands except from the free consent of the King of Sar dinia and of the populations. The cession which will be made will therefore remain exempt from all violence as from all constraint. Our firm intention, moreover, is so to arrange it as far as the territories of Savoy, subject to an eventual neutralisation, are concerned, so as not to injure any acquired right and not to affect any legitimate interest. In ac cordance with our requirements (convenances), and with the will of the Ring of Sardinia, and without contravention of the general interests of Europe, the cession of Savoy and the county of Nice to France raises no questions incompatible with the best established and the most rigorous rules of pub lic law. If the character, the language, and the cus toms incompatible with the best established and the most rigorous rules of public law. If the character,' the language, and the customs of the populations destined to be united to France, assure us that that cession is not contrary to their feelings; if we re flect that the configuration of the locality has in termixed their commercial and their political inte rests with our own ; if we say, lastly, that the Alps constitute the barrier which must eternally separate Italy from France, we may confine ourselves to con elude from this that the new frontier to be established between Piedmont and ourselves finds its sanction in the force of circumstances. It is not in the name of the idea of nationality, it is not as a natural fron tier that we prosecute the adjunction of Savoy and of Nice to our territory, it is solely as a guarantee, and under circumstances such that the mind can not conceive, that they should reproduce themselves anywhere else. In one word, strangers to all views of aggrandisement, still more so to all ideas of con quest, our sole object is to obtain, in the name of the principles of public law, that treaties should not be rendered for us more onerous in a point in which they had been framed in dispositions which time, I hope, has contributed to efface, and that, as a secu rity against the dangers which the development of Piedmont may bring upon us in the future, our frontiers should be fixed, by means of an understand ing wits the King of Sardinia, in accordance with the necessities of the common defence. " The Government of the Emperor, full of confi dence in the weight of the considerations which it could put forward, has entered into negotiations with the Cabinet of Turin on the subject of this in> portant question. You know in what terms we opened this correspondence. " You are equally acquainted with the answer, and you have seen that, receiving the observations which we have put forward, the Sardinian Govern ment has shown itself disposed, at the price of a voluntary sacrifice, to accept their consequence. I flatter myself that#e reasons of necessity and of right whichdetermine our conduct will be fully ap preciated by - the British Government, seeing the st Governments a l oe n v d et rh t n h e m a n t ee ne s te e ss e sk:i have yv g e a no guarantees and s s u o c l e ee dispositions. g e i d t e i d in founding their combinations on bases uniting se ntiments of equitywhich inspire it and the friendly spirit which directs its relations with France. It mate, we should enter into arrangeme n t s w ith Sar dinia circumstances most frequently independ en t o f r u w n t to l e s l r e , th willc i the conditions of a true stability, which indeed are no others than those of justice enlightened by a healthy intelligence of reciprocal interests ; and it ' is thus that acts intended to secure peace have sometimes only had for result the sowing, in the political sys- I tem, of fresh seeds of difficulty and somplication. The combination of which such just and such power.. ful motives now authorises us to desire the realisa tion is, on the contrary, so conformable to the gene ral interest that it is necessarily required, we are confidently persuaded, to make part of any system wisely conceived and drawn up with foresight. It finds therefore its legitimacy in the absence of all clashing with the well understood observances of Europe, and also in the requirements of our own situation. We flatter ourselves that the question will be thus regarded by the Court of England. " I beg you to read, and to leave a copy of this despatch with the Principal Secretary of State of her Britannic Majesty.—Receive, &c., (Signed) " THOUVENEL." The news of the increase of the protective duty on cotton twist and yarn in India from 5 to 10 per cent. has created, as was to have been expected, a strong feeling in. Manchester. A telegram on the subject having been re ceived on Monday, the apprehensions of the merchants were immediately aroused, and at a meeting of the Cham ber of Commerce a deputation was forthwith appointed to wait upon Sir Charles Wood in London. They will be re ceived at an early day next week, and much interest is felt to learn the tone that will be taken on the subject, after the rigid arguments that have lately been. insisted upon in every quarter during the discussions on the French treaty. There can be no doubt that the measure will be quoted not merely by all the continental protectionists in justification of their system, but likewise by a majority of the politicians in the United States, and probably in Canada. The in terest of the matter is rendered more intense at the present moment than it would have been at any former period from the extraordinary development of the Manchester trade with India last year, when our total exports to the country increased from £16,782,386 to £19,832,699, and the serious effect that might be exercised on the general position of our commercial relations by anything that could check this in tercourse, or throw it into uncertainty.
