The Government of Italy, desiring to deve'op the resources of the Island of Sardinia by the introduction of foreign capi tal in the construction of railways, have, by virtue of an Act bearing the Royal confirmation under date of the 4th of January last, conferred the following valuable concessions, which have been purchased for this Company: First. The exclusive privilege of constructing railways in the Island of Sardinia. Second. A guarantee or su , vention for the lines now pro posed of 9,100 lire for each kilometre of railway, or £5BO ster ling per English mile, per annum, net revenue, for a period of 99 years, payable as each section is opened for traffic; and, Third. An immediate g , ant to the Company, in perpetuity and absolutely, of freehold landed estates, belonging to the Crown, in the Island of Sardinia, containing 200,000 hectares, or 480,000 English acres, the present value of which is offi cially returned at £500,000, but which it is manifest will be largely increased by the completion of the railways. The £5BO per mile net guaranteed income, together with the comparatively low rentals now proceeding from the landed estates, and amounting, according to the Government returns, to £24,000 p.r annum, are equivalent to an annual dividend of at least 8 per cent, upon the total estimated cost of the railways. This will be seen from the following calcu lation : Annual Income-- Guaranteed Net Revenue £5BO per mile for 240 miles £139,200 Present rent from the lands (suss ptible of increase) 24,0'0 ta T Interest payable on n £2,000,000 Obligatio ns or £163,200 Debentures at £3 per cent. £63,000 Estimated Dividend on .C 1,003,000 Sh are Capital at £8 per cent Bo,noo ---.---£ I 40,000 Surplus income applicible to the redemption of Debentures Z 23,200 The special feature of this undertaking is, that while the Shareholders will receive an annual interest of 6 per cent. during the coastruction ot the line, and a dividend of at least 8 per cent. the -carter on their capital, they will, at no dis tant date, have their capital repaid to them out of the pro ceeds of the Crown lands granted to the Company, and con tinue, nevert cless, in the enjoyment of the dividends during the whole period of 0 years. The order in which shares will be paid off in this manner will be determined by ballot. Toe estates are s tuated in various p irts of the Island, and will in great measure be intersected by. or in the neighb ,ur hood of, the several lines of r ilway now projected, and also the .everal new roads about to b2construete by the Govern molt, tor which purpose they have voted One Million Pounds st Aing. Some portio sof the estit qs are under till ig,e ; a consid.rable extent c msists of pasturage, and the remaining portions contain forests of oak and other valuable timber. From these forests the do kyards of England, France, and Italy have for m any years past derived and are now d riving their supplies of the finest oak, le Sardiria is extrerney rich In min era l s, par ti cu l ar l y silver- Bead, copper, and ironstone, the latter of th e hi g h es t qua li ty. fields sides th hichee t mi willnerals, the Island con t a i ns extensive coal railways. . wbe developed by me ans o f t h e intended The lines n , w projected will be single (with requisite sid ings and passing places), and will be about 210 miles in length ; six years are allowed for their -ornpletion.

Thus, throughout te whole length of the Island, will be establiihed a compete system of railways, bringing into closer connexion the respective shores of the Mediterranean. The most eminent contractors ,ii this country hava care fully examined the detailed surveys and sections of the pro jected lines, prepared by the Company's Engineer, and have offered to contract for their construction at a sum which, after making prevision for all preliminary and contingent ex penses, wi I fall within the amtunt of capital now proposed to be raised. rare The wo rk i ng expenses o f ra il ways in Italy and France ly averag e 42 per otnt. of the gross 5 receipts.

NEW YORK, April 24, Morning. Seven Federal gunboats, one ram, and three transports have attempted to pass the Vicksburg batteries. One transport was obliged to return, another was burnt, and it is supposed that all on board were lost. The remainder of the vessels passed safely. Eleven Federal gunboats, including three under Admiral Farragut, are now below Vicksburg. They have destroyed the Confederate batteries at War renton, and are anchored off New Carthage, where General Grant's headquarters are established, and to which place a portion of General Grant's army had proceeded overland. The Southern journals think that the Federal gunboats will attack Vicksburg from below and from the opposite shore. But it is generally sup posed that the gunboats will operate up the Red River, and, in conjunction with General Banks, will endeavour to force the evacuation of Vicksburg and Port Hudson, by cutting off the supplies for those strongholds. The Southern journals have news of operations in General Banks's department, stating that the Confederate steamer Queen of the West has grounded in the Grand Lake, and was blown up by the Ferleral gunboats, her crew being captured. Tile Confederate steamer Diana has also been burnt in the Archafalaya River. A portion of the forces under General Banks was beyond Franklin, Louisiana, on the river Teche. The object of General Banks's expedition was to capture Franklin, where all the Confederates below the Red River are supposed to be posted, and a victory at this place would open the way for an advance of the Federals to the Red River. There was another movement making up the Yazoo River. Five Federal transports are reported to have reached a point above Haine's Bluff. The Confederates have burnt immense quantities of cotton along the Sunflower River. Federal gunboats have been operating success fully against the Confederate cavalry along the banks of the Tennessee River. General Rosencranz is reported to have been re inforced by a portion of General Grant's army, and a battle in Tennessee is impending. A Federal expedition has destroyed Celina, Ken tucky, with immense quantities of Confederate stores. The Confederates are moving in Missouri, and lreatening Pilot Knob. The Federals are advancing from two directions :o meet them. The Confederates have abandoned the siege of Washington, North Carolina. General Halleck has visited Suffolk, Virginia, where the military situation remains unchanged. The Confederates are reported to be removing the obstructions in the James River at Fort Darling. The Charleston Mercury asserts that the guns from the steamer Keokuk have been recovered. The mail bag of the Peterhof' has been delivered unopened to the British consul, by order of the district court. The trial of the case has been post- poned. The action of the British Government in the case of the steamer Alexandra has created a generally favourable impression here, and has allayed much irritation. The British prize steamer Gertrude, captured off Harbour Island by the Vanderbilt, has arrived at New York. She was returning to Nassau, after an ineffectual attempt to enter Charleston harbour. The Alabama is reported to have chased two vessels ashore in Turk's Island Passage on the 26th March. NEW YORK, APRIL 24. The New York Times correspondent says that a Federal division has made an expedition from Green ville, Mississippi, up Deer Creek, and during six days destroyed property on various plantations estimated at three million dollars, consisting of cotton-mills, cotton-gins, and 700,000 bushels corn. They likewise brought away immense quantities of stores. The Florida captured the barque Lapwing, from Boston for Batavia, on the 37th March, in lat. 31, long. 32. The Florida put two guns and 18 men o❑ board the Lapwing. The Florida has also cap tured the barque Concord of New York. NEW YORK, APRIL 25, MORNING. General Foster has returned to Newbern. The pursuit of the Confederates who retired from Washington, North Carolina, is abandoned. The Fenerals operating in Tennessee against Morgan's guerillas have occupied Mac-Minnville, where they destroyed a cotton mill and large quan tities of Confederate stores. In Missouri four militia regiments have been called into service for 30 days. The reported occupation of Cape Girurdeau by the Confederates was untrue. Southern reports from Mississippi assert that the Federals numbering 4,000 have been repulsed upon Coldwater river, and that the Confederates were pursuing them. . MEXICO. VERA CRUZ (via Cadiz), April 15. Gen. Berthier dispersed the forces under Comon fort, wl.o was marching on Puebla with reinforce ments. Ortega, who commands in Puebla, has offered to capitulate on favourable conditions. Gen. Forey, however, dcmanda the unconditional surren der of the city. The municipality and the ladies of Puebla have supplicated General Forey not to destroy the city. The General answered that he hoped to obtain its submission without firing a shot. Ortega, with 15,000 men, has made an attempt to force his way through the French columns, in order to get to Mexico, but was repulsed with considerable loss, and compelled to return to Puebla. NEW YORK, April 24, Morning. The New York journals publish news from Vera Cruz to the 12th inst., via Havannah. French accounts stated that Comonfort, in at tempting to join Ortega in Puebla, was defeated with considerable loss. Ortega was also repulsed in attempting to make a sally from Puebla in the direction of the capital. Ortega offered to capitu late, but General Forey refused, insisting upon an unconditional surrender. In reply to a deputation of the inhabitants, General Foray promised not to bombard Puebla, as he had sufficient appliances to compel the garrison to surrender. Provisions were so plentiful in Vera Cruz that the French were said to be selling them to the inhabitants and re-ship ping them to France. NEW YORK, April 25, Afternoon. The French corvette Bertholet, arrived here this morning, from Vera Cruz on the 7th. Her com mander states that the reports of a French defeat at Puebla are erroneous. All was quiet at Puebla when the Bertholet left Vera Cruz. INDIA. By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have ad vices from Bombay to April 13, and from Calcutta to April 4. The Viceroy's " progress 0 still continues. His Excellency made his entry into Umballah, Punjab, on the 27th March, and was received in great state by the chivalry of the Cis-Sutlej. The troops of Put tiala, Jheend, and Nabah, and a large number of sir dare and followers, made a great show. The popular demonstrations with which the Viceroy was received amounted to an ovation. His Excellency left on the Ist of April for Simla. Lady Frere left Bombay by the present mail for England. Her ladyship gave a farewell" at home" on the Bth April, at Government-house, which was very numerously attended. " The English mail of March 19 (says the Times of India) brings the welcome news to India that the Ministry has determined to appoint a royal commis sion of inquiry into the grievances of the Indian army. Sir C. Wood will have the warm thanks of the Indian army for this concession ; it is all that the army ask for. The speeches of the Duke of Cam bridge and. the Duke of Argyll on the subject were calculated to produce infinite harm in this country, and no wiser step could possibly have been takezz than the appointment of this commission. If no in jury has been inflicted by the amalgamation of the local army, the fact can easily be made plain ; while if injury has been inflicted, MC must all be anxious `la see it redressed." The Government of India is confident of the pa cification of the north-eastern districts. Captain Morton has been ordered to realise all arrears of revenue due by the rebels. Reports are current of some serious disturbances in the Garrow Hills. News has been received from Cabaol to the 12th March, to the effect that the Herat business would likely be settled about the Persian Nouroze (new year). All sorts of supplies were abundant in the Ameer's camp, but money was scarce. The Hera tees were badly off for supplies of all kinds. Cotton from Egyptian seed has been successfully grown near Poona, in the Deccan. It is of very good quality. The Cotton Frauds Bill has bees passed by the Bombay Legislative Council, ttlyd only awaits the sanction of the Viceroy in order I ,n its becoming law. The health of the town and island of Bombay 10 far below par. Fever is very prevalent. The hot season has set in, and the citizens are escaping to the Hill stations. The Calcutta Englaehrnan of April 4 says :—" A number of Manchester capitalists, we have heard, propose to purchase from the Indian Government the Ganges Canal; to apply to it skilful engineer ing work and superintendence ; and, having made it what it was intended to be, but never has been, an efficient canal of irrigation and boat traffic, to raise from it a large revenue profit. The Ganges Canal cost the Government, or the public, the large sum of two millions of money sterling; but as a public work, except for the patronage , : and profit involved in its construction, it has been almost use less. Should it, however, pass into the man agement of private English enterprise, it may ye't become an institution of vast utility in the districts through which it passes; and we should be glad. indeed to see it change owners as proposed."

The Government order states that instructions for the preparation and submission of claims for Delhi prize money, published in Go vernment general order No. 8, dated Jan. 6, 1862, will apply equally well to claims on account of Dhar prize money. The troops of the Rajahs of Puttiala and JbleBesnd, who joined the British army before Delh i t i b e 7 city; and took part in the siege and capture t and also the men of the Nubbaheon in f contingent, who were engaged with the Juflund ur muti n eers at Looniana, have through their c hiefs petitioned the Government to grant them t h e Indian medal.

" I proceed to the second part of Lord Russell's despatch. " The design of our august master is to arrive at a practical solution, We assume that such is also the desire of the Government of her Britannic Majesty. Since its aim is to see assured to the kingdom of Poland the repose and welfare which are the objects of the solicitude of his Majesty the Emperor, it appears to us difficult not to arrive at an understanding. "The difference in our points of view lies in the fact that the English Government appears to be lieve that the Constitution of 1815 is the sole panacea calculated to calm the present agitation of Poland. " But the English Government and nation, whose practical good sense has founded the greatness of England, can hardly assert that there is only one form of government possible for all peoples, what ever map be their history and development. Before arriving at the political maturity of which England offers the example, there are many degrees to pass through, and each nation must proceed in this path according to its own instincts. It is just and na tural that a Sovereign, animated by the most bene volent intentions, should calculate the bearing and extension of institutions c.estined to place his sub jects in the most favourable conditions of existence. " The idea of our august master has been shown ever since his accession to the thione, and cannot be ignored by any one in Europe. " His Majesty has resolutely entered upon the path of reform. Relying upon the trust and devo tion of his people, he has undertaken and accom plished in a few years a social transformation which other States have only been able to realise after a long lapse of time and many efforts. His solicitude has not ceased there. A system of gradual develop ment has been applied to all the branches of the publii service, and to existing institutions. It opens to Russia the prospect of a regular progress. The Emperor perseveres in it without precipitation or impulse (entrainment), taking into account the elements which it is the work of time to prepare and mature, but without ever deviating from the line he has traced for himself. " This measure has conciliated to him the grati- tude and affection of his subjects. We think i gives him a title to the sympathies of Europe. " The same designs have not ceased to influence his Majesty since his solicitude has been brought to bear upon the kingdom of Poland. " We shall not enter here into an enumeration of the national institutions, for the most part elective, with which this country has been endowed. " They do not appear to have been sufficiently un derstood in Europe, either on account of remoteness, or, rather, because chimerical passions and the inte rested labour of a hostile party have stood in the way of an equitable and impartial judgment. "The system inaugurated by our august master contains a germ which time and experience must develope. It is destined to lead to an administra tive autonomy on the basis of the provincial and municipal institutions which in England have been the starting point and the foundation of the great ness and prosperity of the country. But in the ex ecution of this idea the Emperor has encountered obstacles, which are found principally in the agita tions of the party of disorder. " This party has understood that if it allowed the peaceable majority of the kingdom to enter upon this path of regular progress, there would he an end to their aspirations. Their intrigues have not allowed the new institutions to be carried into effect. It has been impassible to show how they work, or how far they respond to the real necessities and to the degree of maturity of the country. "It is only when this experiment shall have been made that it will be possible to pass a judgment upon this work, and to complete it. " The manifesto of the 31st March indicates the wishes of our august master in this matter. " By the side of an act of clemency, to which it has been possible to give a large extension since the dispersion of the most important armed bands, the Emperor has maintained in force the institutions already granted, and has declared that he reserved to himself the power of giving to them the develop ments indicated by time and the requirements of the country. "His Majesty can, then, refer to the past in the rectitude of his conscience ; as to the future, it neces sarily depends on the confidence with which these institutions will be met in the kingdom. "In taking a stand upon this ground our august master consider s th at he acts as t h e b est friend of Poland, as the on l y "Lord Russell calls upon whoseupon Russia to discharge aim it is to secure her welfare by pra c ti ca l means. S those duties whi c h , as a mem b er of Europeansociety, she ow es to foreign "Russia is t oo directly interested tates. in the tran quillity of Pola n d not to understan d the duties of her position to war d s other nat i ons . "It would be difficult to assert that she has met, in this respect, with scrupulous reciprocity. The continual conspiracy which is being organized and armed abroad to keep up disorder in the kingdom is a fact of public notoriety, the inconvenience of which principally consists in the moral effects which the favourers of the insurrection deduce from it, i n order to lead astray the peaceable populati on, by gaining credit f or t h e b e li e f in direct assistance from abroad. " In this manne r we h ave seen produc e d t wo in fluences, both equally gr ievous —that exer c i se d by foreign agitati on on t h e insurrection, and th at which the continuation of the insurrection itself exercises, in its turn, upon public opinion in Europe. "These two influences react one upon the other, and have ended by bringing affairs to the situation which the Powers at present point out to the vigi lance of the Imperial Cabinet. "It is asked of it to restore the kingdom to the conditions of a lasting peace. " The Powers are inspired with this desire by the conviction that the periodical troubles of Poland cause to the States placed in the immediate vicinity of its frontiers a shock, the reaction of which is felt by the whole of Europe, that they excite the minds of the people in a disquieting manner, and that they might, if prolobged, bring about, under certain circumstances, complications of the most serious nature. "The Government of her Britannic Majesty, in expressing this desire, furth er rel i es upon the mits that, i n t h e en gagements of 1815awuwigshiuhsectshmaarflaeseetcentrt;hreelycoinudiateicoonrodfantheee ihhetyof troubles the adi different parts of Poland.

" But the more the Empero r is disposed to take into account the just p r epossessions of the neigh bouring States, and the interest which the Powers who signed the Treaty of 1815 show in a state of things which ii the cause of deep solicitude to his Majesty himself, the more our august master con siders it a duty to request the serious a ttention, upon the true causes of this sit uat i on, and upon the means of remedying it, of the Courts who have ad dressed themselves with confidence to him. " If the Government of her Britannic Majesty 1 tys stress upon (releve) the reaction which the troubles cf Poland exercise en the peace of Europe, we must be still more struck with the iefluence which the agitations of Europe have in all times had the power to exercise upon the tranquillity of Poland. " Since 1815 this country has witnessed the de velopment of a material welfare unknown until then in her annals, while other States have in the same interval undergone many interior crises. " This repose was only troubled in 1830 by the consequences of commotions coming from abroad ; 18 years later, in 1841, while almost the whole of Europe was convulsed by the revolution, the king dom of Poland was able to preserve its tranquillity. "We are persuaded that it would be the same at present were it not for the continual instigations of the party of cosmopolitan revolution. If this party, everywhere devoted to the overthrow of order, at present concentrates all its activity upon Poland, a grave error would be committed in supposing that its aspirations will stop short at that limit. What it seeks there is a lever to overturn the rest of Europe. " Those Cabinets which attach importance to see ing the kingdom of Poland return a moment earlier to the conditions of a durable peace cannot more certainly ensure the realisation of this desire than by labouring, on their side, to appease the moral and material disorder which it is sought to propagate in Europe, and thus to exhaust the main source of the agitations at which their foresight is alarmed. " We entertain the firm hope that in strengthen ing in this respect the ties which bind them toge ther they will effectually servo the cause of peace and of the general interests. " I have the honour to request that you will com municate a copy of this despatch to the Principal Secretary of State of her Britannic Majesty.— Receive, &c., " GORTSCHAKOFF." EARL RUSSELL TO LORD NAPIER. " Foreign-office, May 2, "My Lord—Baron Brunnow came to me this morning, and, before giving me a copy of the de spatch of his Government in answer to mine to your Excellency of the 10th of April, said to me in sub stance what follows : "'You have declared to me that the step which Lord Napier was instructed to take was taken with a pacific in tention. The Imperial Cabinet has received your despatch in a similar spirit of peace and of conciliation. " ' You have told me that the representation you have made is founded upon the bogs of the stipulations of the Treaty of Vienna of 1815. "' The Imperial Cabinet on its part accepts this basis. " ' The Imperial Cabinet is re,dy to enter upon an ex change of ideas upon the ground and within the limits of the Treaties of 1815.' " I enclose a copy of the communication of Prince Gortschakoff. " I shall, in another and a later despatch, furnish you with the views of her Majesty's Government upon the contents of that communication.—l am, &c., "RUSSELL." The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the text of the Russian answer to the notes of the French and English governments on the affairs of Poland pre ceded by the following remarks :—" It is easy to see in reading these documents that they pave the way for conciliatory measures, and that a basis of negotiation is to be found in them which may lead to an understanding between the different courts now seEking the means of protecting the legitimate interests of Poland," Subjoined is a translation of the reply to the French note : PRINCE GORTSCHAKOFF TO BARON DE BUDBER, PARIS. " St. Petersburg, April 14 (26). "Monsieur le Baron—On the morning of the 6th :17th) April the French ambassador communicated :o me a despatch from M. Drouyn de Lhuys respect ing the position of the kingdom of Poland. I for ward to your excellency a copy of this dispatch, that I immediately brought under the notice of his Majesty the Emperor. Our august master derived the conviction from it that the views expressed in the name of the Emperor Napoleon entirely har monise with those by which he is animated. The French government manifests sentiments respecting the sad events of the kingdom of Poland which csn not be foreign to any government with a regard for humanity. It cannot for an instant doubt that this state of things causes our august master the deepest affliction, occasions him the utmost solicitude, and fills him with an ardent desire to bring it to a con clusion. The French Government refers to the effect of these agitations upon neighbouring states, and the anxiety they give rise to in the rest of Europe. Our august master recognises the legitimate interest which the neighbouring states, and those which have co-operated in regula ting the condition of Europe, must naturally feel in all the complications which might have a ten dency to disturb it. But the interest Russia feels in events which so closely concern her certainly is not less profound, nor her desire to restore tranquil lity to the kingdom and security to Europe less ardent or less sincere. The Government of the Em peror Napoleon manifests confidence in the liberal dispositions of our august master, and is animated by a sentiment of reserve, which his Majesty appre ciates, when it indicates, in conclusion, the oppor tuneness of devising some means of placing Poland upon the conditions of a durable peace. Nothing could coincide better with the desires of the Empe. ror. But it is precisely upon the choice of means which may lead to this result that it is desirable to come to an understanding. The Foreign Minister of France describes the extent of the evil, and the impotency of the combinations hitherto devised for reconciling Poland with the position accorded to her. This is an additional reason for not recom mencing attempts which have been a source of mis fortune to Poland and Russia, a cause of trouble to Europe, and which in all probability would only lead to the same result. The evil the kingdom is now suffering from is not an isolated fact. All Eu rope is affected by it. Revolutionary tendencies, the scourge (fleau) of our times, concentrate them selves just now in this country, because they find here enough combustible matter to inspire hopes of making it the centre of a conflagration extending all over the continent. The Governments whose duty it is to remedy this evil cannot, therefore, be stow upon it too much attention, prudence, and care, in order to discern the elements that ought to be set aside as a common danger, and those which deve loped with perseverance and maturity may serve as the basis of a durable future. Our august master has devoted himself to this work, connected as it is with that which ever since his accession to the throne he has charged himself with the mission of accomplishing, in order to introduce every part of his kingdom into the paths of regular progress. I have explained the views of our august master the accompanying despatch, that I have pis ta . d• dressed to his Majesty's ambassador in London, in reply to a communication from the Government of her Britonnie Majesty similar to that from M. e's order your Drouyn de Lhuys. By the Emperor'sror excellency is requested to forward a copy of this document to the Foreign Minister of France. He will see there what part the Government of the Emperor Napoleon may take in our opinion, in order to hasten the realisation of the wishes he expresses to us in tie name of humanity and the permanent interests of Europe. He will assuredly recognise that with the elements of cosmopolitan revolution disseminated in nearly every country, and accumu lating from every direction and on every spot afford ing a chance of disorder and commotion, the task of restoring tranquillity and peace does not depend upon the efforts of a single Government, and that to call upon us to extinguish a conflagration which is fed by inexhaustible external sources would be to confine the question in a circle without issue. The RUSSIA AND POLAND. The following is a translation of the Russian re , ply to the English Note on the state of Poland : " St. Petersburg, April 14, 1863. _ _ "M le Baron,—On the morning of the sth (17th) of April Lord Napier delivered to me a copy, here. with enclosed, of a despatch from her Britannic Majesty's Principal Secretary of State relative to the present situation of the kingdom of Poland. " The first part of this document is devoted to a retrospecive examination of the question of right. The second expresses the wish that peace may be restored to the kingdom of Poland, and established on a lasting basis. I will reply to these two points of Lord Russell's despatch. " As regards the question of right her Britannic Majesty's Principal Secretary of State reproduces the arguments already recorded in his despatch of the 2d March. I can, therefore, refer to the obser vations which I then made to the Ambassador of England. "The Government of her Britannic Majesty takes a position on ground where the Imperial Cabinet will never hesitate to meet it—that of treaties. "Nevertheless, it is here a question less of the text than of the interpretation of tree ties. We have the right not to admit without reservation every inter pretation which it might be wished to give them. " Lord Russell says in his despatch that, by Art. 1 of the General Act signed at Vienna, the 28th of May (9th of June), 1816, 'the Duchy of Warsaw was erected into a kingdom of Poland, to be insepa rably attached to the Emperor of Russia under cer tain conditions.' " Now, this is what the Act of Congress of Vienna stipulates in respect to those conditions : " Poles,subjects of Russia,Austria, and Prussia respec tively, shall enjoy representation and shall obtain national institutions to be determined in conformity with the politi cal existence which each of the Governments to which they belong shall consider it useful and expedient to grant to them.' " The Emperor Alexander I. developed these prin ciples in accordance with his personal views. He granted to Poland the Constitution of the 12th (24th) of December, 1815. It was a spontaneous act of his sovereign will, and it did not constitute an irre vocable engagement towards foreign Powers, inas much as the Act of the Constitution, posterior to the Treaty of Vienna, was not even communicated to them. " Lord Russell contests the principle according to which the revolt of Poland in 1830, having resulted in the declaration of the forfeiture of the sovereign dynasty, should be held to annul the bases of politi cal existence granted in virtue of the Act of Vienna. " Although history has more than once confirmed this conclusion of natural right, theory may afford matter for controversy. We think it may be laid down that if the revolt does not invalidate the na tional engagements, it any rate annuls the sponta neous development of them which had been gene rously added, and which have led to fatal results to Poland and to Russia. " But the Principal Secretary of State of her Britannic Majesty gives to the argument a promi nent place in his despatch, while I had only inci dentally put it forward in the course of my conver sation with Lord Napier. gg The English Ambassador alludes to it in the following terms in the despatch which he had the goodness to communicate to m e prone Gortschakoff also said to me that, desiring to treat this question in a spirit of conciliation and humanity, he had abstained from employin g an argument which lay at his disposal—that of the right of conquest. Moreover, everything has been said on both
