The following letter speaks volumes :—" Archdeacon of Ross, Skibereen. Grammar School, Stevenage, 16th Dec., 1850. Gentlemen,—l think it but common justice to you to state that I have used Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica for the last four months, during which time our infant has never had disordered bowels, from which it had suffered much during the previous six months, whilst being nursed, though every care was taken to prevent it. Had I known of your valuable food rsxiner it would have saved my infant much pain, and me, also, the heavy expense of a wet nurse.—l am, &c., Robert Ambler."

The discussion on the address in the French Senate assumed an unusual intgest on Friday last in consequent of the speech of Prince Napoleon in reply to the attacks made upon the policy of the Imperial Government by the Marquis de Laroche j acquelin. Prince Napoleon spoke in substance as follows : " Gentlemen,—There are attacks which reflect honour, and I leave the care of replying to the out rages which you have heard to Liberal opinion in Europe, to Italian opinion in Europe, to Italian patriotism, and to the 200,000 soldiers who, with the Emperor at their head, made the campaign of Italy. (Loud approbation.) They will know how to defend King Victor Emmanuel against the attacks of which he is the object. (Renewed appro bation.) You will not allow the Marquis de la Rochejaquelein, newly come into the Senate, and who ought to have entered it with the conciliatory spirit of the Emperor (murmurs on different benches), you will not allow him to falsify the opinion of the empire. I am anxious to rectify what has been said to you. No ! we are not the repre sentatives of reaction, always and everywhere. We represent modern society and its progressive ten dencies. M. de la Rochejaquelein has said that the Emperor was a parvenu among Kings. Yes ! and he glories in it, for he came among Kings as the representative of Liberal principles—the principles of 'B9. (Loud and continued marks of approba tion). Nations are not mistaken—they rely on Napoleon 111., who will not fail in his mission. (Renewed approbation.) The Emperor, in his speech from the throne, pronounced some words which had the approbation of M. de Heeckeren. "Baron_ de Heeckeren—Certainly. " Prince Napoleon—Gentlemen, these words were words of pity. (' Oh, oh !') They were words of high propriety as regarding an unfortunate Sove reign. Pity, gentlemen, must not be confounded with sympathy. Our sympathies are for the glorious Italian cause. They are for those allies who shed their blood by our side at Magenta and Solferino. (Approbation.) M. de Heeckeren has stigmatised those members of Royal families who betray their chiefs in critical moments, and I can only approve what he has said. True it is that such examples of desertion have been often seen, but it is also true that the Bourbon family have given them the moat frequently ; such were those of Philippe Egalite, and by the Orleans family. Remember also the affair of Bayonne and the reciprocal treasons of the Spanish Bourbons. Re member also the last incidents in the history of the Count de Montemolin. If M. de Heeckeren has intended to make an allusion I at once take it up — (hear, hear)—as its whole weight falls on the family which he wished to defend. Since he has entered on the subject we must speak loyally and frankly. Differences and different opinions may be found sometimes in prosperity, but never in adversity. (Great applause.) There are, indeed, Sovereign families who manifest differences of opinion in pros perous seasons, but who form a united band in time of peril. (Hear, hear.) Prince Lucien had a dif ference with the head of the Imperial dynasty ; he became reconciled when danger presented itself. (Approbation.) Gentlemen, the future, be sure of it, will correspond with the past. (Hear.) Were danger to arise for the Imperial dynasty, which may God forbid, then, oh ! then, history would not have to register one of the sad examples that we find in the conduct of the House of Bourbon. The Napoleons would be but as one man. (Loud ap plause.) I feel called on to address a few words to the Marquis do Larochejaquelein touching the English alliance. That hon. gentleman is con sistent in his attacks,' but we also are consistent in our defence of that alliance—not an alliance with this or that Minister, but with the great liberal English people. By that alliance, though we may have to make some concessions on secondary points, we can defend the great principles of liberty and progress. But, above all this, the country should learn that we desire an alliance which leads us to the performance . of great actions. Much has been spoken, he said, against universal suf frage; but, to be convinced of its justice, examine it in Savoy, and see if there ,ever existed a finer spectacle ! There has been but one opinion in the Senate on this subject. But I must also recognise the perfect good faith of Piedmont in these circumstances. Feeling perhaps some regret, she facilitated in the frankest manner a solution of all the difficulties that beset the Emperor. She has loyally paid her debt of gratitude to her great ally. (Hear.) The treaties of 1815 are no doubt to be respected, but on the condition of execrating and tearing them whenever it may be possible. (Ap plause.) These treaties have been respected by Europe, but en condition of violating them to our prejudice. Remember Cracow. These treaties have indeed been continually invoked against us, in virtue probably of the great jurist Vattel, cited yes terday by M. Larochejaquelein. Gentlemen, it is the glory of the Emperor that he has torn the trea ties of 1815 with the point of his sword—(much ap plause)—and the people are grateful to him for the act. Gentlemen, it remains for me to dwell upon the fundamental question of our discussion—a ques tion the triumph of which it will be most difficult to effect in the mind of the Senate. I mean the unity of Italy. This unity, gentlemen, is the inevitable result of the war of 1859. I foresaw it, and con fess that I became a partisan of the war for this reason. The war contained the germ and principle of Italian unity. By the defeat of Austria, all the petty Italian princes, merely prefects of that power, were involved in her catastrophe. These Princes were but the liege subjects of Francis Joseph. Had not the King of Naples himself alienated his sove reignty in favour of Vienna ? Had he not signed a treaty engaging himself to give to his people no other than Austrian institutions ? It is said that one person is cleverer than any other, and that his name is Tout le Monde.' Well, Tout le Monde' said that after the campaign of 1859 these princes must fall with Austria. It was the voice of the people, it was the opinion of Italy. There was one Sovereign who was not the prefect of Austria, and who has become so by his own free choice—the Pope. But after the campaign of 1859 Italy was obliged to become French or Italian ; she could no longer be Austrian. Yon do not wish her to be French ; allow her then to be Italian. I approach a delicate question—the confederation ; in my opinion, an unfortunate idea. The Emperor, be it observed, never meant to impose on Italy. He merely said, I have render e d y ou a gr e a t service ; I have studied history, and I recommend the con federation. If you follow this advice I shall be pleased ; if you do not, I shall not punish you.' That distinction has been very clearly laid down in an eloquent despatch of M. Thouvenel—' Follow our advice' is the language, and you may rely on us both in peace and war, we accept an entire re sponsibility ; follow it not, you will have entire liberty to act at your own risk and peril.' The idea of a confederation, however, was an old one, reproduced at Villafranca. At that place I con versed a little with everybody. Nobody desired a Confederation, neither Austria n or th e P o p e . Th e Pope only asked for his own provinces with some body to guard them for him, Victor Emmanuel desired something better than a confederation. People do not accept fragments when they can get the whole. At the present day a policy should be carried on in full light of day, Neither did the back ltalians their er desire ex p Confederation , which would bring nd become en instru menteall of oppression. On the whole the Confedera edprineee,a tion was a hypothesis brought forward by France, and this hypothesis was repudiated by all interests. A difficult task still remains for me—that of con vincing the Senate that the unity of Italy is favour able to France. The interest of France must, in fact, predominate over all other questions ; and an orator who should influence by his arguments some chivalrous heart, some lover of national liberty, apart from French interest, would never forgive himself. (Applause.) Now, we have in Italy a complete similitude of race and religion. We have frontiers which, thanks to the annexation of Savoy and Nice, can give rise to no discussion. And as the opportunity offers I seize it to repudiate all the insinuations which attribute to us a desire to ap propriate the spoils of Italy. No —we desire no thing in Italy ; we have recovered what the Holy Alliance took from us in 1815 ; it was our duty and our right—it was also the duty of Italy to make the restitution. But beyond that all fears are chimerical. The policy of France, I can myself affirm, and fear not to say that in this I interpret the mind of the Emperor, is exempt from all dynastic ambition ; I find guarantees in the orders I received in undertaking a command in Italy, apart, unfortunately, from the military ope rations, but also of a more diplomatic character. The Marquis de Larochejaquelin has spoken much on the subject of England ; and, in my opinion, too much. But since he has developed all his grounds of mistrust, he ought, at any rate, to accept the arguments which bring to view the state of our naval force as opposed to that of England. Now, what is our object in this matter ? It is not to be come the centre of all marines of the second order ? This is so true that when France went to the Crimea to combat the reaction at Sebastopol, as she has since done on the Mincio, those who were opposed to the expedition had no better objection to make than that we were going to promote the gain of England by destroying a navy of the second rank ; and, certainly, if this argument was not of a nature to deter France from her object it was undeniable that the destruction of the Russian marine would have been a weakening of the power of France. For these reasons the creation of an Italian marine becomes a force for us. English statesmen were aware of this. In 1849 Lord Aberdeen, drawing a picture of the inconveniences that might result to England from Italian unity, did not fail to give weight to this creation. But the unity of Italy is especially valuable to French interests, because it is the only reasonable mode of modifying the trea ties of 1815, and because it prevents for the future that abandonment in which France found herself placed at former epochs. Italy is the natural ally of France; to affirm this it is not necessary to rely on the gratitude of peoples—their interests alone are sufficient. Do you not think that there will long exist an insurmountable rancour between Austria and Italy ? In what did the pre sence in Italy of all these fallen princi palities subserve French interests ? The question was who could influence them most. Formerly it was the Spaniard—then came the Austrian. From this day forth there will be no influence in Italy but the legitimate influence of conviction and similarity of causes. Moreover, to unite the French and Italian nations, there is the connecting link of universal suffrage. This , is what places us, I will not say in conflict, but at variance with former dynasties, and by this means the two peoples are connected in indissoluble union. There is no ques tion of a King of the Lombards ; it is that of a King of an emancipated people which has nobly confided to him the guardianship of its indepen dence. Cabinets make no mistake about this • and from this also arises the confidence of peoples in Napoleon 111. [The Prince proceeded to contrast the Imperial policy with that of the men of 1848, to the advantage of the former, observing that he would not have mentioned the subject had not the partisans of 1848 sought to embitter the debate. But being led on to discuss it, he boldly vindicated the policy of 1859 in opposition to that of the men of 1848, who refused to support Charles Albert because he was a King, and ended in colouring a cowardice by a perfidy.] Prince de Metternich formerly said that the unity of Italy could only be a geographical expression, and yet six years have scarcely elapsed since that Prince, the irreconcile able enemy of France, has been in his tomb, and Austria may be asked, Where are you ? You are neither at Venice with the Italians, nor at Pesth with the Hungarians, nor at Prague, nor at Cra cow; you are only there with your muskets and your soldiers ' It now remains to examine whether Italian unity, which is the only good solution, is not the only possible one. It is necessary. I am convinced that menace would not be sufficient, and that force must be employed. Look for a moment at the mad and absurd hypothesis of an armed intervention in Italy —you will have against you the Italians, and next England. And how will Sicily be governed ? England will take possession of her, for you will have given her a right to do so. And by doing that you will not have satisfied Austria, for if she detests Italy there is something which she hates still more, and that is the influence and the strength of France. There will therefore remain for us the prayers of some bishops, and the sympathies of the soldiers of Castelfidardo. I, for my part, prefer the sup port of the conquerors of Magenta and Solferino. Be assured that the unity of Italy must be accom plished, Rome will not resist; public opinon is very clearly fixed on that point; and will the Senate be less liberal than the Prussian Parlia ment, which has been guided in the expression of its sympathies for the Italian cause by an anti- Austrian feeling, and for that reason favourable to France ? In order to touch on all questions, there is a painful name which I must now pronounce— Venice. (Movement.) I am anxious to say nothing that may compromise the policy of my country in Italy; but the situation of Venice is one of the greatest misfortunes of modern times. But any inopportune attempt would be deplorable. The part of Italy is to develop her force, organise her army, and when the moment shall have arrived she may, with the understanding of France, again demand Venice. This is what there is to be done, and the guarantee for such conduct is the wisdom which the people of Italy has shown during late events. Where can a people be found who, after so many centuries of oppression, have shown them selves so worthy of liberty ? France is certainly a great nation, but in such a situation everything would have been overturned. In order to encou rage this wise conduct Italy must be supported by good counsels from the tribune, and from all the organs of public opinion. That will give her con fidence. (Approbation.) What will Italy do when she shall have consulted universal suffrage—that suffrage the results of which are now disputed by those who, after having been its adversaries, now show themselves such scrupulous guardians of it ? Montesquieu said that all nations have the Govern ment which they merit. When France was con sulted by universal suffrage she said what she wished for. We were then without power, without support ; the Government were in the hands of a General, an honourable General (movement), who was hostile to us. You know what the reply of uni versal suffrage was then, and it will be the same in Italy. Much has been said about the domina tion of Piedmont and of her conspiracies. How does she conspire when every one is of the same mind, and when the unity of Italy has been the feeling of every heart for ages ? (Sensation.) When the Italian Parliament shall have decreed that Vic tor Emmanuel is King of Italy, what will take place? Italy will demand a capitol, and will say that Europe cannot interfere, for that non-inter vention is its public law. The true basis of the liberty and independence of Italy is the buckler of non-intervention ; let Rome be given to Italy, and her unity is secured. (Murmurs.) Have I not a right to approve the conduct of the Emperor when it is so firm, and at a moment when coalition was talked of in connexion with the interview at War saw ? It is the firm conduct of the French Go vernment under those circumstances which secured peace, and that boldness constitutes its glory. (Approbation.) There now remains the question of the application of the Papal power. Certainly the Pope must preserve his independence and can not become the subject of a new Sovereign. This constitutes the great difficulty of the question of Rome, but it is not impossible to solve the problem. The Pope is the Spiritual Head of the Church ; could he not reside at Rome with an amount of in dependence which would make him neither the chief nor the subject of any one ? The geographi cal situation of Rome, divided by the Tiber into two perfectly distinct cities, one the Catholic city and that of the Vatican on the right bank, and the other on the left, appears to offer a solution. Is it impossible to secure the independence of the Pope in one of those cities by giving him a garrison, and securing to him a budget guaranteed by all the Powers ? The Pope, thus surrounded by the vene ration of Christianity, with a special jurisdiction, and with his own flag, would preserve all his inde pendence. (Murmurs.) Rome would become, as it were, the sanctuary and the oasis of Christianity. It will, I know, be said that these are chimeras; but many things which have been designated as such have been realised during the last three years. When a difficulty presents itself it is in vain to hope to put it off, for it must be solved. We , are in presence of Italian unity ; that must either be accepted, or the policy of M. de Larochejaquelein adopted—and the latter course would necessarily lead to diaasters. lam anxious that the words with which his people formerly received the Pope should not be forgotten. They were ' Courage, Holy Father.' Let France, who is full of respect and sympathy for the Sovereign Pontiff, say to him in her turn, Wisdom, Holy Father.' I wish for those words to come from the Senate, which con tains his devoted sons ; and the Emperor's Govern ment, inspired with the words of our forefathers, will say to him, Do what you ought, come what may.' (Movement and loud approbation.)" The debate was continued on Saturday. Cardinal Mathieu, after stating that Prince Napo leon's speech was, in his opinion, a complete denial of all principles hitherto acknowledged, wished to know whether it was to be taken as the expression of the views of the Government. M. Billault (Minister), in reply, stated that no one had the right to speak in the name of the Go vernment except those who were its official and recognised organs. M. Billault then entered into an elaborate defence of the policy of the French Emperor, passing in review the recent events in Italy : " It is the policy of the Emperor (said M. Billault) never to act alone when common interests are at stake, but to come to an understanding with the other great Powers. This is the true secret for preserving the peace of the world. . . We are now asked what will be the ulterior line of conduct of the Emperor. The question is so com plicated that it would be impossible to lay down any fixed rule of action. All that we can say is this :—lf we have shown that the Emperor for the last 18 months has done all that could be done to maintain the fundamental principles of our Govern ment towards Austria, towards the populations of Italy, and towards the safety and independence of the Holy Father,—if you believe that with us, enlightened by the past, then place confidence in the Emperor and his policy. (Loud applause.)" Count Be Segur d'Aguesseau wished to know whether the French troops were to be withdrawn from Rome. M. Billault declined answering that question. For 11 years France had given proofs of her devo tion to the Holy Father, and no one had a right to suspect her intentions. He then passed a severe censure upon the " insults and odious illusions" recently expressed against the Emperor. Cardinal Donnet spoke in favour of the temporal power of the Pope, and moved that the Senate should adopt an amendment that the sword of France should continue to protect the independence of the Pope and the maintenance of his temporal power. M. Baroche (Minister, President of the Council of State) did not think it necessary, after the speech of M. Billault, to make any further reply. He would only observe that the Government was opposed to the amendment. On Monday the discussion of the Address by paragraphs will be commenced. THE NEW AUSTRIAN CONSTITUTION.

A letter from Mola Di Gaeta, dated Feb. 22, says :—An artist came yesterday to head quarters at Mola to take a photograph of General Cialdini and his staff. I wish it were in my power to give you a pen-and-ink sketch of these gallant fellows, and especially of their leader, a man who has already filled several pages in the book of his country's history, and has now, by his able man agement of this siege, added lustre .to his name, achieving what might seem a fit conclusion to the career of many a man of less lofty aspirations, but which, as the General is still in the prime of man hood, may perhaps turn out to be the prelude to still nobler deeds. Enrico Cialdini, born at Reggio, was sent for his studies to Parma, at the time that this latter town, under the auspices of Maria Louisa, in the early part of her reign, was looked upon as an oasis of lax, if not liberal Government, in the midst of the gloom of tyranny which overshadow(' all Italy. Young Cialdini turned his mind to the cultiva tion of the fine arts and poetry, and would, in all probability, had nothing interfered with his natu ral progress—as he belonged to a family in inde pendent circumstances—have added one more to the many harmless but useless dreamers, vapid draughts men, and insipid sonneteers who made up the accont ' plished class in old Italy. Luckily for himself, and still more for his country, the political movements of 1831 found him still in the age of primitive en thusiasm. He girt on a sword for the cause of Italy, and wore it with such youthful delight that he determined never to lay it aside for his life time. He went to Spain in quest of adventures, distinguished himself not only by the most bril liant valour, but also by a political tact which en abled him to steer safely and honourably through the many storms in which some of his less cautious companions perished, and came back to Italy laden with honours and preceded by a high and most spot less renown. In Italy, in 1848 and 1849, he was invariably at the head of the most dashing exploits. Severely wounded at Vicenza, struggling with death for three months, a bosom friend rather than a pri soner of war of the Austrian General Schonhals, who hardly ever quitted his bedside, he returned at the peace—the theme of popular songs, the hero of the multitude. His achievements in 1859, in the vanguard of the Franco-Sardinian army, his feats at Castelfidardo and Ancona, are too fresh in men's memory for me even to allude to them. Although Fanti commanded in chief, and Della Rocca, Sonnaz, and others had a noble share in the enterprise, still the campaign of the Marches and the subjugation and pacification of Naples will always justly be looked upon as the peculiar exploit of the conqueror of Ancona and Gaeta. La Marmora may insist on more strict obedience; Garibaldi may arouse a readier enthusiasm ; but Cialdini best knows how to rely equally on the fear and the love of his sol diers. I believe I said in one of my former letters how, whether he was a captain, a major, a colonel, or a general, Cialdini invariably brought to muster the best disciplined and most willing and ready company, battalion, regiment, brigade, or division. A poet and an artist still in his tastes, gentle, refined, affable in his address, cordial, affectionate, ever good-humoured with his friends and even his subalterns, he has all that outward show of chival rous courtesy that history or romance attributes to Claverhouse ; but no one who knows him doubts that he can, in need, be terribly in earnest, and that it is no sane or safe counsel so to thwart him as to rouse his stormy anger. He walks straight to his goal; no man would be less capable of a deed of wanton cruelty, or even objectless severity ; but no man would less shrink from any act of rigour by which necessary discipline could be enforced, or from any strong measure by which success might be more readily or more fully obtained. All the sternest, and, still more, the most amiable features in this great character have had full oppor tunity to show themselves during the vicissitudes of the siege now drawn to a close, He had to deal with an enemy intended by nature to be, and likely eventually to become, a brother; he had to divest a patriotic war of all the horrors inseparable from a civil contest ; he had to foil the petty wiles, the base falsehoods of his immediate adversaries; he had to menager the fastidious and umbrageous sus ceptibilities of a slippery and overbearing ally, to ' resist the demands of more or less openly hostile Powers ; he had to compound with that fickle chameleon which is called public opinion in Europe. He had to do all this, and had at the same time, and above all things, to acquit himself of the most immediate task before him, which was to conquer, to conquer quickly, to conquer fully. There would be nothing in the world to compare with the invidiousness, the downright perfidy and lying effrontery of the Neapolitan generals—their Royal Commander-in• Chief, Francis II:, not ex cepted—unless it were the forbearance, good oat ure, and yet firmness with which the leaders of the be sieging forces met and actually baffled their wiles. They appealed to him in the name of humanity, agaiu and again asking for a few days' i espite to bury the dead, remove the wounded, &c. He granted their request on the sole condition that the breach should remain as it was ; he came to their rescue to extent m th edi e eiees i theof pselnaedeinwges i ice, leeches, l n e e e e c d hes e , t a a n n d d a t l h l e o y the u w re quitted his patience and generosity by uselessbh eenrge n- d w e als bothaTo.ursEtvoenstwohpe'eup reduced to the mere heap of ruin s w e no w b ehold , the King, who bad hoisted the white flag, asked f or a fortnight's armistice t o " treat about the gaps ton and in their fortress crumbling bout the terms of surrender;" but the harsh, because provident, t surgeon would no l on g er be tam p er ed with, but going on with his wholesome opera tion ; the cannon fired without intermission while the n egotiations were pending, and the last shot was fired precisely as the parlenzentaires drew the last stroke of the pen which signed the capitula. tion. • General Cialdini's staff consists of young m en chiefly belonging to the best families of Northern and Central Italy : the names most frequently heard among them are San Marsano of Piedmont, Borromeo of Lombardy, Serristori of Tuscany, and the like. More honourable feelings or more gen tlemanly manners, a happier blending of soldierly assurance and youthful modesty, than are to be seen among this new generation of Italian warriors, I should be at a loss where to find; they make but one family With their General and with their sub alterns down to the meanest private. If the Italian nation ever comes to as full and hearty a, fusion as their army has already attained, those European Powers who befriended, or at least allowed the emancipation of Italy, will never have reason to repent their deed. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.— Rheumatism, Gout, Tic-doloreux.—Scarcely a week passes without our seeing, or hearing of, some friend stricken by these agonising maladies. The pain is situated in the joints,. muscles, or nerves, whence it may be driven by fomenting well with warm salt and water, and after drying the skin, let it be rubbed twice a day with Holloway's soothing oint ment, which should also be rubbed into the neighbouring glands. It is always advisable to take Holloway's pills in these disorders, as they much assist the ointment's action. The pills check fever, purify the blood, and eject all morbid matters engendered by these diseases ; not only will all pain cease, but the cause of these maladies will be dislodged. lom for ing ght .ted on .eat the) anti ath. i 42 334 :61 156. r 46 27 '74 '4O 68 68 -a Be k_.
