The King of the Netherlands would also have been entitled to his neighbour's aid to sttppressthq Belgian insurrection ; but Bel gium proclaimed her independence, and France, with the knowledge, if not with the consent, of Enroie, Interfered, but only to drive the Dutch from Antwerp, Likewise by the Salie Law, Don Carlos was the legitimate Khig of Spain ; but France and England.made.a leagne . for the purpose of secur ing the crown to his niece; 'a'nd . ' none of the other Powers took the field against thein; wherbbY the dogma of legiti macy seemed to be abindon'od, iag , intervention was resorted to against' it iu one Case, ozncrinterverftios took place in the rest..

The maxims of the Holy alliance continued then to have all their effect in Italy, and it was evident that Austria was and wished for Over to . be the übsolute ruler of that country. For a second time she invaded Bologna in 1822, and then it was that France landed at Ancona. But that landing was not for any benefit to the subjects of the Pope, s.nd not for any benefit to France , herself, but rather to her utmost disgrace, and to the injury of all: ' . Because after a shOrt and deceitful show of liberality, France came to a close under standing with the' Court- of Rome, and Austria • was .never more omnipotent and overbearing in Romagna,,.•nor ever were murderous factions more outrageous than when, the French were iu possession of Ancona.: The French epedition . was a motion dthe"bilious and fainglorious policy or Perier, modi fied by Perier himself, and then turned to other purposes by the pedants who inherited his power. They were vieing in cunning with the Court. of Beide, which has for centuries been unmatched for cunning, and they vied with Austria in the influence they exercised over that court, as if they be undertaken, not, as they said, to . secure a free existence to the people, - and put 'a check upon : Austrian arrogance, but only to . carry on the intrigues of ,a conclave or of a priestly cabinet.. The Fren'ch have taken ft into their heads that Italy_iS in Rome—the _last constituent assembly has very clearly shown it—and when they have ascended the Capitol, they fancy they deserve triumphal honours, and flatter them . _ _ . . . selves they have the destinies of the Peninsula in their hands. tut at the present day the Capitol is only a sentry-box for the Pope ; it is not from thence that Italian destinies are wielded. The imperial river is the Po, not the Tibor. To ascend the Capital, one must scale the strongholds on the Po, the Adige, and the Miucio. At Rome it may be possible to baffle Austria. in the election of a new Pope, and to obtain some cardinal's 'hat, ,but it is not- possible to overcome Aus• trian preponderance there, or even to restore the clisimarbed balance. A period of ton years elapsed, in which the governments of the Peninsula gave nO.Sign of Italian policy—and could give none.' Metternich said that Italy was only a geographi cal phrase ; , and, so far as its rulers were concerned; _he was right, for most of them seemed to glory iu the insults at z which theY•shonldhaVe - teen the first to blush. The tradition of au Italian policy 'was-in the House of Savoy, and was treasured in the secret heart of Charles Albert, but all Europe bowed to Vienini; and Metternich 6)llld:have said with greater roa , son that; pOlitically,'ltaly was Austria. Italy was,• in fact, more decidedly out of the pale of `inter national law than the'TurkiSh empire itself. .11tissia was not at liberty to do all'it listed in the East ; but in'ltaly:Austria , had no check TupOn her doings. In 1845 the first glinipse of a less timid policy was - seen in Turin. It was, indeed, "I) o great matter. It turned neither upon popular rights, hor ou public freedompnor on territorial questions : it Was a. squab bit:about wine and salt, yet it seemed something enormous, so callous had become the other Italian princes to the Aus, were ttk a kiss their , oxvriCua i-mrr iuili;rrTcericetPiiitTeCti at Atistilas' idling Then Pius IX, came, of whoso re'gn, and of the events of 1848-9, I do not mean here to write or re-write history, But the part of history which must indeed bo familiar to the English Government is this—that while England, and, to some extent, even France, advised the Italian princes to speedy reforms, Austria bade them resist, gave sanguinary examples at Milan, threatened invasions, and displayed all her overbearing might at Ferrara. She gave a still further extension to the principle of armed intervention, because she held out threats, and actually resorted to violence even against legitiinate princes, such as Pius IX., who showed some inclination towards necessary reforms. It was then, in 1847, that those treaties were drawn up, which identified, we may almost say for ever, the Duchies of Parma and Mo dena with the empire. England declared in those days that she would see with great pleasure the most liberal reforms to which the Italian princes might be inclined, but that she would not allow any territorial change; and at the very time those treaties were signed, which were as injurious to public right as any territorial change—and nevertheless the English Government gave no sign. Franco had estranged, herself from England on account of those ill-omened Spanish marriages ; she coquetted with Austria ; she raised no complaint. It was thus that Europe prepared herself for the convulsions of 1848, and allowed tkem to be fulfilled, giving the Italians to understand that in their behalf neither natural rights, nor written rights, nor solemn treaties, nor solemn promises, nor the principles obtaining elsewhere, nor the famous consideration of the European balance—were of any avail ; that only the force of Austria had any weight for them and against them, so far as it would go. Our revolution was the moral consequence, so to say, of the policy of Europe towards Italy. _ Tho long commetions of the Italian people in 1846-7 were a stimulus, a motive to that commotion of the French people which hurled the Orleans dynasty from its throne. The rulers of France ought to think well of this, because, if it is true, as it is but too fatally true, that the examples and move ments of France have great influence on Italian minds, neither can it be denied that the examples and disturbances of Italy are not without some effect on France—proofs of which fact have been seen not only in 1848, but in 1820, when the plots of Italian secret societies to some extent jeopardised the throne of the Bourbons. The revolution of February sent all Europe topsy-turvy ; it upset Vienna ; and after that town all Italy. After Vienna ; as those ought to remember who, considering our movements of that year, fancy that they may be reproduced at every change of leaves. That after Paris, Berlin and Vienna, Milan and Venice, should also rise, ought to be no great matter of wonder; but the wonder should be, on the contrary, that throughout Italy no movement took place against the existing monarchies, with the exception of the Austrian monarchy and the two small duchies : and these latter must needs be involved in the down fall of Austria, since in 1847 they chose to unite their desti nies to hers. And the movement was only for national inde pendence and not for a republic, although the example of France might have prompted it. The tendencies to a conspiracy against any of the Italian monarchies only de veloped themselves after the Papal encyclical of the 29th of April, which was fatal to that cause of national independ ence which was the only, great, and passionate mover of the whole Italian insurrection. This great felling was then turned to good or evil purposes, as it often happens but by turbid spirits, and by Utopians, and by harum-scarum brains, and by dealers in French political trumpery ; but all republican attempts were the results of despair merely. Ono Victory of Charles Albert would have taken from the repub licans—true or false—the very courage of openly professing their principles, to say nothing of the courage of bringing their principles to practice. And we, who in those countries in whichsuch experiments were tried, endeavoured to prevent them, dreading the consequences for our beloved country— we, who opposed the republicans, and were overcomeby them —we can with true impartiality bear witness that many ven tured on the desperate experiment only in obedience to the passion for Italian independence, which they fancied they could thus aid, and only after that sacred cause had been given up by all the princes with the exception of the Sardi nian King. Austria again and again overpowered insurrections and con quered in war ; then, without any delay, she proceeded to destroy all free institutions in Italy. The princes, either by their natural inclination, or from a slavish instinct obeyed, by destroying freedom. Austria secured her ewn influence, and her interference in all the states brought back to the rule of absolutism, and by her military occupation she curbed the people and strengthened her own supremacy. The kingdom of Piedmont remained a constitutional state. How many plots and treacheries it has had to withstand may be easily imagined, by any ono who thinks how much injury Austria received from the existence of such a government in Italy. This state follows a policy which is necessarily—l might almost say fatally—hostile to Austria. Austria lords it over the rest of Italy ; but so long as the land of Piedmont is free Vienna does not, cannot, feel safe in her possession, in her usurpation. This is what Count Cavour said before Par liament, what Count Buol confirmed in one of his notes ; itis impossible, it is needless to dissemble it. Piedmont has right on her side, Austria all the forces of the empire, the friend ship of all the other Italian governments, the influence of the Court of Rome, with which she has come to a compromise in matters of conscience to have it as a companion in life and death, to remove even the shade of the fear of another Pius IX, Moreover, Austria seems to have had hitherto, and to have yet, if not the willing consent, at least the acquiescence Of all. Europe. . Now, as far as Europe is .concarned, the gist of the gees- . tion is simply tbis--Ntrhethdr it suits her and pleases her that AuStiia - should be inlEitress all . over Italy, or rather a just "Id. equitable ' alTaugomefit 'may be devised. if pleases her,, if it is good for her, that tho whole peninsula • shbuld t belong to A , igtria•, let there be no more parleying about it: Let the Court - of Vienna manage it in its own way, The thing will be aceoinplished•with bnt little. ado. But if, on the contrary, it .suits pleases Europe to restore on this side the disturbed balance; so that the universal equili brium may not be endangcrecl by it, then let Europe cease from her negotiations and, remtmetrances with thoSe mere phantoms of governments -which have their scat in Italy, Let her . turu to 'Vienna, and' ir negotiations avail not, let her threaten Vienna with those measares which have been suffi cient elsewhere—and probably thq mere menace will suffice• But I bear it said, and you, sir, have also hoard it said in Parliament, that it is not so much Austria which jeopardises the peace of Europe 'as it is Piedniont, who threatens to at tack her,•and fails. the . fire always smouldering in'ltaly. I could not answer to this, ,that, they are truly fanning the fire who arouse men's passions by treading en all rights, and that it would be unjust to chartfe with incandiarism those who give *liming of the deuti of aninceudlary. But I will be morc frank in my ,answer. If the Eing of Sardinia. had 200,090 men be ought ) , in my opinion, to declare war against ,Austria. It would be his duty, s it is his right : the first enti oCa Prince is that' otyilidjaklng ha own right,. and that t otisis.nation.,,fliox:thal - Aiii* - 4.pitut.s.which may not pass current withAllytouracY,,tnt ti:,vl,Sich are writtca down in public treaties, and in the code of ciiiiised nations. Aus- tria, sir, as all Europo knows, has sequestered the property of .Sardinian subjects, without a trial, without a reason. Is there an Englishman who, if. the property of the humblest and most obscure of his fellow-citizens were confiscated against all human and divine law by a foreign government, Would not cry out vengeance:against such a violation of the right of nations ? Now, where is there an Englishman who will deny. the same right to the Piedmontese government ? Let Mr, 13.• Disraeli, if he is a genuine Englishman,- send his ad nfonitions to Vienna. Piedmont has no need of his admoni- tious ;. it is not governed by madmen, nor will it madly put forth its Own good right. - fihc fortifications of Piacenza, also r,:ared in sheer defiance of all existing treaties, would justly provoke Piedmont to de-.. molish them. by the might of artillery, had Piedmont might onler side as well as light. . . . . -Ent The greatest danger, which seems to cause great un easiness to some peopl&, arises fmm apprehended p"Opular and pro i3Uthreaks, .whieli.l'_iechnont is supposed to foster and With respeet to this subject, it were desirable that ;wiiters--:as for instance Mr. Disraeli —wheat they are not 'writing novels, should no rave too s!rongly about a sub- terranean Italy, full of secret societies, and with dark caves nil' o f ca rbonaii drinking blood out of human skulls,, and whetting and projecting their fearful knives. Very fine 'stuff to embroider novels with, but no history ! I will not attempt to deny the existence of any secret societies in Italy, and I- witinot say that no conspiracy is brewing ; but I affirm that the number of these societies wanes daily, and that their. plots now a days are mere childish play, and no public danger. The governments'conspire, indeed, to their own injury, and hasten their own ruin. For some time they strike terror amongst their oppressed subjects, and despotism seems assured ; then their agents indulge their. wprst . pas . - sions and raise their voice, and knowing that evil, deeds beget rancour, they fancy that rancour and revenge rankle in th® hearts of all the oppressed ; and because they feel great fear they endeavour to terrorise. But when it becomes evident that the only prop to a bad and iniquitous Vozernment is public cowardice ; when murmurs are heard and moo show some inclination to stir; then those who know their own de • fects and are aware of many enemies fancy the whole state to be a mine, with thousands of men ready to set firo to it those heroes of fear are at once dismayed, and the Government which . 4:listed them loses at once its dependents, its flatterers, its defenUers. Such is the end of those governments whose deeds are a - denial of god and justice ! The Societies by which they are threatened are not secret, but public . ; they are the result Of a ,compact between public conscience and public opinion. Their Weapons are the tribune, the press,•publicity. Theii standard-bearer is truth, wbiehbefore !piercing stone walls and planting its flag on fortified, towers, has planted it iu my conscience, in yours, in that of every 'honest mail.' When we talk of 'revolutions, moreover, we, ought to clis- tinguish an insurrection which may lod to the punishment ! a. bad government item that newer of `fury which has over tbrown everyitiiiiltlit has act consumed Itself. After the movGmentri of iSll(an3 'th:'4'Vocialist convulsions attempted or threatened, there are many who can imagine no change iu a State unless accompanied by seine fearful catastrophe, Hence it happens that if the news spread that the people of Naples or of Bologna show uneasiness of being torn to pieces by the tortures in flitted by the Bourbons or by the Austrians, many am already in a fever lest the agrarian law should next be pro claimed. Now I may be ignorant of the condition of other nations, but well do I know that Italy is the last country in which Socialist movements may be apprehended. To fear a repablican_revolution in Italy, now that all Europe is mortar- chiral and Frande imperial, strikes me as a monomania as absurd as that of hoping for it. Mr. Bowyer rides on as high a hobby as Mazzini, and I think Mr. Disraeli has a foot in the same stirrup. Others there are, again, so cautious that not only do they fear all popular movements, but also all concessions and reforms that the princes might come to, be cause that awful remembrance of 1848 haunts them, and they fear 1858 may bring as evil days as those witnessed 10 years before. Yet they ought to consider that if changes took place before auy outbreak of popular violence, which are apt to turn the heads of the victorious people, to the great injury of the victors themselves, the states would suffer no disturbance, and secret societies would in vain attempt to agitate men's minds with revolutionary schemes. No principle seems to me more unshaken. Reform is the best preventive of revolution. The very examples of 1848 gave us a luminous proof of it. Those states which in good time and with goOd faith adopted the necessary reforms, and which, after the storm had blown over, maintained them, remained unscathed; unhurt was and is especially Piedmont, safe not only against all probabilities, but also against all possibilities of a revolution. And as the present state of Europe is so dif ferent from that of 1848, that from the very country whence then came the examples and incitements to disorder, now would come counsels and examples of moderation, one can stand security,that any just and liberal political change a tempted in Italy would give rise to no disturbance, and arouse no evil or dangerous passions. I must also answer those who whisper that Pied mont, well aware of the strength of Austria, may not perhaps venture into a mad war, but will fain grasp, as she tried in 1848, the opportunity of an insurrec tion in the neighbouring States, to renew the chances of a conflict which then for her had an unfavourable issue: In the same manner, sir, that I think that Piedmont will never be dragged by plotters who would wish to make their secret societies a lever to move the world, so I feel firmly convinced that she will never allow any faction to jeopardy her own destinies, her blood and honour, which the Crown and Parliament alone have a right to stake. This,. indeed, I think, is the first and foremost duty of the Pied montese Government. It must take upon itself very delibe rately the advocacy of the national right, it must exercise it in any occurrence, but not in obedience to any faction. The choice of the means, of the resolutions to be adopted, lies with it alone, and wholly with it—with the Crown and Par liament. To fall back from pusillanimity would lead to loss and disgrace ; to move on with foolhardiness would be a proof of weakness and a crime ; but I must avow that events may arise in which daring alone would be pru - donee, and hesitation would be rashness. Piedmont, all Europe will avow it, has given proofs of wisdom, - and will, I hope, show the samo moderation for the future; but all wisdom and moderation does not de pend on hanging back. In very great contingencies he is often the most prudent who is the most daring and the most ready. It is for Europe, if she is really in dread of Italian insurrection and Piedmontese audacity, to ward off such dangers by putting an end, while it is yet time, tobad govern ment and to Austrian encroachment and arrogance. I think great reliance may be put on the long end urance o f th e Sardi nian Government, but that no one should fancy that the Crown of Savoy may ever be stained by cowardice, nor that Victor Emmanuel will shed the blood of his own people to spare that of his foes. If Enrope still wavers, there is a fate which will drag us all on—that fate which drags on Austria, Italy, and the House of Savoy. But without speculating on those great events which allow no time or leisure for deliberation, we must, however, reflect that events of less moment may come to pass in which Pied- Mont may be moved by its duty and by a sense of its own dignity to act with determination. Austria, if we can derive instruction from the past, and believe in the Congress of Paris, insists upon the full power to interfere by might of arms in any Italian state in which, as she says, she may be called upon by legitimate princes —that is, by her near rela tives, or by her subservient lieutenants. Now, as she has no right to interfere, and as it is evident she does so not so much to prop up those thrones as to strengthen the misgo vernment and her own usurpation, it is also clear that Pied mont, both as an Italian State, as large as the Austrikn State in Italy, and as a European Power, has at least the same right of intervention. And I say that as a matter of prin ciple she ought to interfere ; and that in her resolutions she can only be guided by her own interest and by the sense of her own dignity. Therefore, if Europe fears that peace may bo endangered by Piedmontese intervention in other Italian States, it behoves Europe to put an end to the Austrian oc cupation, and provide against all chances of its recurrence. From all I have said, it clearly results how necessary it is that the Western Powers should soon come to some resolution on the subject of Italian politics. The alternative, in my opinion, is plainly this—either they must prevail upon Vienna to overcome the resistance 0 all the bad governments of Italy, to put an end to all foreign occupation, and restore the peace, the tranquillity, and the balance of Italy, or put an end to all negotiation, and declare that, whatever may hap pen, they will never allow any intervention in Lho Italian states. No one interferes since thirty years in Spain, and yet Spain has undergone, and is now undergoing, great political changes. Let no one interfere in Italy, and God will provide. Either the Peninsula will have to become entirely Austrian, and will be . governild .by the Emperor, or in the Emperor's name by Imporipl prefects, and by priests, who will then be come Imperial ; or, if there is any virtue and constancy in the Italians they will free 'their 'country. In the meanwhile let the Italians neither betake themselves to desperate mea sures nor sink into indifference, or despondency. The sup porters of bad government cry out that we arouse the people to rebellion. i must frankly tell you, sir, what counsel I give to the tortured people wheneVer I happen to write or speak. I beg them not to allow themselves to be outwitted or seduced by those few madmen Who twice 'a -year cry out that the hour has struck, and who actually Sound the knell of, some new agony. I adthonish them notto strengthen bad governments and - Austrian tyranny with mad attempts and by the profession of perverse principles, whiCh'thiTify honest people ; but I ad vise them at the•same time (and I•say it here publicly, lest it should be said that we follow the example of secret societies) —I advise them to improve all opportunities, and to exert all their powers to lay before Europe their own misery, the vileness of their government, the oppiession of AUstria. I advise theni to exercise with perseverance the virtue of civil courage, to resist by all legal means, to issue public and open compl4ißts, remonstrances, and protests; to demand the F,..rtitoration of -tita - .liitalatod laws and constitu.tions; . Thus.. , will Europe perceive, that the Italian, movement ;is not the result of secret societies endeavouring to fish in troubled waters, but that it is the elite - of the towns and of their people who ask for justice ; and that those aro worthy of freedom who will say the truth in defiance of all the in struments of torture tyranny can dispose of. .Already civilised Europe has seen instances of the in sublime: examples of moral cohrage, and I am proud of being a native of those Pgbr Countries, which,' with the AuStrians on their necks, dare to ask publicly that the Austrian occupation should coma to an end. -And I. hope that that example may -be Imitated by other Italian pebple where exhibition. of -Moral conritge is fraught with less danger..

In lat. 44-57 .3 . , long. 41 46 W., she fell in 'with a ship's lower mast much burnt ; no name on it ; spoke the Agamemnon, of Liverpool, at the entrance of the Channel on the 2Gth inst. The newly erected paper and pulp steam-mill 'in Woolwich arsenal has now commenced operations under the most favourable auspices. The labours for the pregent are to be confined to the manufacture of c .rt ridge bags only, of which the machinery in its' present state (under the personal superintendence of Mr. Mac intosh, the patentee) turns out a sufficiency, under ordi nary circumstances, for the Supply of the entire British army and navy. Its capabilities average about 20;000 bags per hour, ready for being filled. The principal portion of the machinery, which is on a new and perfectly unique principle, was supplied by Messrs. B. Ilia and Son, of Bolton, and consists of driving engines and boilers, pumps, pulp reservoirs, paper cutting machines, various driving apparatus, &c., as well as the factory engine of 40-horse power, the steam piping, iron pillars, roofing, and numerous fittings. The knitting machine is from the firm of Messrs. Perry and Son, of Aberdeen ; and the cisterns by Messrs. Blakie, of Aberdeen. Other machinery will eventually be added to the establishment for the manufacture of every kind of paper required in ti , e various departments of her Majesty's service. This will effect a considerable saving, as the cost of the ma terials employed in the manufacture of the articles will be comparatively nothing, an immense part of them, such as linen and other rags, being supplied, from the barracks and other Government institutions. The troops belonging to the Provisional •Battalion at Chatham are making considerable progress in the Enfield rifle instruction, under Captain W. Nott, 83d Regiment, and Lieutenant A. M`Leod, 78th Highlanders, the in structors in musketry to that garrison. Nearly the whole of the non commissioned officers and men be longing to the depots of the Indian and colonial regi ments, which form the Provisional Battalion, have com pleted their preliminary course of instruction in the theory and use of the Enfield rifle ; and the troops be longing to the Chatham division of Royal Marines Light Infantry, who are all armed with the Enfield rifle, are also undergoing a course of rifle instruction under Major G. B. Rodney, Royal Marines, the instructor of musketry to that corps. Tne men belonging to the fol lowing depots at Chatham Barracks—viz., the Bth (the Kin's) Regiment, the 10th, 12th, 24th, 29th, and 43d Light Infantry, and the 70th and 75th Regiments, will this day complete their course of instruction and return to their ordinary garrison duties, when a fresh detail of non-commissioned officers and men will be selected for instruction. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty 40...• W. H. Purvis, Master's Assistant, to the Impregnable ; W. B. Goldsmith, Master's Assistant, to the Amethyst ; Dr. William Ray, Assistant-Surgeon, to the Actaeon ; E. P. Forest, Acting Assistant-Surgeon, to the Wasp ; Edward Dil‘Carthy, Acting Assistant-Surgeon, to the Haslar Hospital ; Francis H. Moore, Acting Assistant- Surgeon, to the Edinburgh ; J. D. Duffey, Acting As sistant-Surgeon, to the Scourge. THE MILIT EA. The Kerry Militia was finally disembodied at Tralee on the 18th inst. A good number of the men had pre viously taken their discharge, receiving the usual gra tuity, and thanking the officers for the great kindness they had received. The Kerry was one of the best orgx.' nised regiments in the militia, and contributed very largely to the line when the demand for men was great. STATE OF TRADE. BRADFORD, AUG. 28. For some time past an abundant supply of wool has kept pouring into this market, and we have now on hand large quantities of all kinds of combing and colo nial sorts. Prices, therefore, are not quite so firm as they were some time ago; but as the staplers have pur chased their stocks at high rates, they find themselves compelled to stand out against the lowering tendency of the market. Business is consequently checked, and the transactions are very limited. Business in yarns displays a manifest improvement. Last week the operations for the continent were more extensive than had been the case for a long period pre viously. This week there was even an increase upon the transactions of last, and where the spinners would con cede a fraction in favour of the exporters, the latter were very ready to enter into contracts for future deli very. The high price of the raw material, however, compels spinners to act with caution and to stand firm ; and the fact that the production is at present limited (a great quantity of machinery having been stopped in consequence of the high price of wools and the unremu nerative price of yarns) is in their favour. The manufacturers of worsted goods,are evidently de termined to obtain better prices for their fabrics than have been current. It is quite time, too, that they should do so, inasmuch as for months past they have not been able to cover the cost of production. Last week the demand for seasonable fabrics was tolerably good, and promising for the future ; this week, in consequence of the wetness of the weather and the occurrence of the triennial musical festival, fewer merchants have appeared in the market, and business has been duller. There is no change, however, in the relative p osition of the p arties, and the p r ospects of the manufacturers may still be said to be improving. The bar silver brought by the last West India steamer was sold yesterday at the same rate as that obtained for the previous arrival—namely, aid. per ounce. The dollars have not yet been disposed of. G / l~ ~iY/ ,~ 7 ~~ L It - wallti - teem that the era when natioNsha no longer-need to defend themselves is .as yet fair:- off in the opinions -of European rulers. The late --: war"awoke many of us from dreams of a millenninna of free travelling and prosperous export trade, but ,; there •is now little- inclination to abandon those . f means of defence wbich.we have created at such a " test.- . A conti ne nt a l kingdom which, like our own, cannot afford to forget the art of war, is engaged , with equal diligence. Among the greatest military works of the present age must be reckoned the re construction of the fortress of Alessandria.. This Stronghold has been remarkable in the - history. of .; i Northernltaly d ur i ng I many generations. It has alternatelY defended Austrians against French and rer — ia. — tigainst Austrians. When - Italy passed ' nto the hands of the First Cons u l, th e gen i us o f great engineers and a vast expenditure of money were employed to make Alessandria one of the strongest bulwarks of :France. The Austrians on the fall of Napoleon destroyed the works, and now, after the lapse of more than 40 years, the Piedmon tese Government is intent on their complete recon struction. The • King is no doubt aware that on the independence of . his own :territory rest all the hopes of Italy. The State which he governs lies - between - two great military monarchies, and e may suffer either from their ,discord or their 1i oo close alliance. With Austria his country has eon at war within a few years ; the principles which Sardinia represents are considered by the Viennese statesmen - as hurtful to their own into. rests, and the densands of .the Sardiaian Envoy at the Conferences df Paris will not .be speedily for given or forgotten by the Power whose pride and. interests they threatened. The w.rld will there fore think that Victor Emmanuel's advisers do well to_turralseirattention...tsi_the reconstruction_of the_ kreat Italian fortress. . It adds not a little to the pelf-confidence of .a minor State if it . has a strong iholdd of the first-class, under cover of which its small rzny can make head against ~the forces of a too /powerful ne i g hkou4nutit the. a?sistance of sympayi ,thising allies can be obtained: 1 Piedmont; placed between; great warlike States, much resembles-in position and histf:sry the Belgian iingalein: : Consequently- - Alessandria• has - been ore than once the scene of great events. The ast time thatit:was taken -by siege was in 1745, Nihon it capitulated to the Spaniards ; it surren ered to the Russian armies in .1799, after a bloc ade, in that memorable campaign when, with its oung Getter tl in • the East, the French Republic vas unable t) withstand the combined forces !of the Cist- and -- -the - German EmPeror, se 'conded-by -- the - whole power of Great Britain. IvVe may well hope that. never again will a 'foreign enemy set foot within - the precincts lof the fortress. But it is a strange reflection `what monarchies have;.: within - little more than a century, been powerful enough to send cons Ignoring armies int this region of Europe. Spain, whose Viceroys ruled at Milan and Naples for so tmany years, and s/hich•even in the middle of the last.century was a first-rate Sato, is now of no more accountin Europe than a small German king 'dom. Its decline within the present century has been the most rapid in the history of the world. jWe can hardly realise that this ltingdem, which !now has only a feW frigates and earvettes, *a§, in i ithe memory of -.men sdll living, a great naval , Tower. Jervis fought the battle of Cape St. Vin cent, in 1797, -against 27 Spanish sail of the line— a force equal to the combined armaments of France and England in the Black Sea. After eight years more of warfare the monarchy was still able to put to sea 15 sail-of-the-line at the battle of Trafalgar.- Since then. everything has gone—army, fleet, re- Ipn tation, cplonies, ships,. and, commerce. The so- I called Indies, from Texas AO Patagonia, have be• I come independent. republics, or passed under the i doinyou of the Anglo-Saxon race. The poverty of the land is now as proverbial as its former wealth. The grandees of the kingdoni have fallen from their I high place among the aristocracies of Europe.: We are now accustomed to leok only with pity or con ;tempt on what is passing-at Madrid. If this hai beenthe fate of the greatagef despotic kingdoms we may.well have-hope for the future. Spain was,. [ during , a of all who had the cause of liberty at heart. The teformelreligion, popular institutions, the inde pendence of: all 's'econd-rats Slates were' SuppoSed2 ' to beendangered.Ly the preponderance of a monar chy Which - cared for nothing but to spread its un sornputonsi and. 'crUshing sway. Spaniards. were ] supposed to slossesa_a,bove,, all,,men the genius for, conquest. and to b s' inspired by - a fanaticism Which niaderthem obrtain of sucliess in war. They.ruted itiy a with -a ToJ ,of .iron • they held all that was , _se eniin i zty iltaAt.ta in. _itat _ .ew Wnild - , ' It 6 - . - w e"ie l .., great - in the -Indian -Seas, and at th ,,, e. Philippines: established the _most flourishing colony of those regions. They were the most formidable enemies' England. or Franco had ever met, and to -resist . thorn manfully was looked upon as the highest and boldest of all achievements. Yet they have passed away, and an invasion from another planet is not more improbable than that a Spanish army should ever again summon the fortress of Alessan dria to surrender. Russia has been to Europe for the last hundred years in some degree what Spain was in the old timcs. She has conquered and ruled mercilessly. Her government has been conducted with the same vigilance and cunning, and inspired by the same unscrupilous ambition. Fanaticism has been a powerful agent in forming an ignorant people into fit instruments for, the purposes of aggresive war fare. The world in general has had the same notion of a manifest destiny which was to give : the Czars a supremacy in 'Europe • and the delusion has almost tended to fulfil itself. Yet, if we con sider that. Spain was once far more terrible than Russia ever was, we may hope that, like ,Spain, the aggressive monarchy of the North will one day cease to give uneasiness to civilised Europe. Even now we can hardly imagine Atissian troops besieg ing a Piedinontese fortress, although it is not yet sixty years since Alessandria opened, her, gates to Suwarrow's army, and little more than 40 years since 160,000 Russians werelrEWidwed On the plains near Troyes. There is reas i op,t f e l rbelieve that a crisis in the history of Europe has just taken place, or rather that the late short and hloOdy war was a sign that influences have been growing within the present generation which will for ever stop the aggressive plans of the Russian Czars. The wonderful increase of the Western nations in wealth, population, and power—the capacity of such a country as England to carry on a war for many year without feeling the burden—the rousing of the East to activity and civilisation—even the pre sence of!great free communities in the New World. and Australia, must diminish the chances of des potic ambition in a struggle against independence and national rights. It seems, therefore, that Piedmont and Italian independence have outlived the fear of two powerful States whose armies have in old times trod the Italian soil. There remains now but the Power which has, during the whole period of what is called modern history, been as sociated, mostly for evil, with the annals of Italy. It is avowedly against Austria that the bastions and forts of Alessaudria are rising. We do not believe that the Court of Vienna will willingly en gage in an open conflict in which it would have the sympathies, and something more than the sympa thies, of all free nations against it; but it is not the less necessary to be provident and forearmed. Italy will soon, we hope, be strong enough to deal with all foreign pretensions to interference and dominion. In the meantime the English public will watch with pleasure every fresh gun that tis placed in the defences of Alessandria. It has even been proposed that we should help Piedmont by offerings in kind ; but Victor Emmanuel can dis pense with any tribute of cannon, shot, and shell. Should the time ever come when Alessandria shell be pressed by an invading force, the transports of Liverpool and the stores Woolwich will not be wanting.—Times. A terrible catastrophe has just occurred on the Ba varian railway. A train - which was:conveying a battalion of Austrian troops, to the number of 1,200 wen, who were to relieve the garrison of Mayence, ran off the rails near Laufach ; six men were killed on the spot, and about 30 soldiers and officers were severely injured. A NGUIS IN ECCLESIA.—On Sunday last, during the sermon, a snake attempted to enter at the door-of Mar garetting church, but was luckily observed by a boy, who killed it in the porch. As the school children sit close tP the door, much confusion at least, if not danger, w as obviated, as it proved to be a full.sized ford Cltronicle. THE RECENT GALE OFF BRIGHTON.—The bodies of all the sufferers who were lost during the fearful hurricane of Vie night of Wednesday week have been found. On Wednesday Thwaites, Merchant, and Gringer (broiler to the lad previously found) -were pinked up about two miles west of Newhaven, and on Thursday Rolfe was discovered washed in abreast of Bletchington Battery, th b r e e t o we miles east h e i a n s g t a o p f Saneadiord, Portobello, C a rden at the east end of Seaford-bay, All en a t (Jack andMaronheaanretr was to m a fount re Brighton. The features of the poor fellows were all dis tinguishable, but they were in a very bad state, And were conveyed to Brighton to th • err respective homes. Yesterday they were all interred one in grave at the new cemetery, and were followed to their last restine , Place by hundreds of their relatives and friends, the expense of the grave, &c., being kindly defrayed by the Rev. J. N. Goulty. It is also intended to erect; a-stone to - the memory of the sufferers, on which will be in scribed a suitable inscription commemorative of the sad event. The subscription on behalf of the widowsand orphans, and the fishermen who have severely B uff ere d . is proceeding satisfactorily, and the list includes the names of the Marquis of Bristol, the borough mem bers, Admiral Sir W.
