Pope. Last night an extraordinary courier of the Ca- 1 binet of Turin brought the news. The enthusiasm caused by ti tie 'very important step in Italian nationality is ex tree •rdinary, and our Government has most willingly adopted the proposal. This morning the Pope, on his ' ra:Tan from the University, where he had distributed medals to the students, was waited upon by the Marquis Pareto, the Sardinian Minister, and had a two hours' conference 'with him. The Pope on entering the Uni vaes?..ty bestowed much praise on the civic guard that re ceive,d him. He harangued the students with great ani mrstion. saying they were the hopes and support of their eoun'ay, exhorted them to study, and repeated to them &ha promise of persevering with an undaunted step in the path of reform." The same journal has the following from Bologna, also dated the 23d ult.:— . . NOTICE.

Shall England alone remain unmoved when Italy is fight ing against her oppressors—when, with heart or hand, the Sovereign PONTIFF is supported by Prussia, by Sardinia, by Tuscany, by Belgium, by Spain, by Portugal, ar.d even by France ? It is impossible.

Doors open at Six, com The manifesto, nominally addressed by Lord G BENTINCK to the electors of King's Lynn, on the 24th of July last, but really directed to the various constituencies throughout the whole country, with a view of influencing the elections in behalf of the Pro tectionists, and also intended as an answer to the masterly exposition and vindication of his policy put forward by the late Premier in the Tam worth address, attracted considerable attention at the time of its publication. The folly and absurdity of the chief arguments contained therein were unspar ingly exposed, and freely commented on by ourselves and many of our fellow-labourers in the good cause. These notices were, however, to a certain ex tent limited. Sufficient space could not be devoted by a public journalist to follow the Noble Lord through the imposing array of figures with which his prolix and verbose epistle was crammed ; sufficient fallacies were apparent, even on his own showing, to render the task of proving that they did not warrant the deductions he attempted to draw therefrom by no means a difficult one. The able statesman against whose course of policy the arguments were directed did not condescend to notice the puny attack. He felt that he might safely let it go forth to the public without observation or com ment on his pert, well assured that no misunderstand mg either as to his character or motives, or as to the great results of the free-trade measures he had carried through the Legislature, could be thereby occasioned in any save the wilfully blind—in those who would not be enlightened, no matter how convincing the proofs that might be adduced and palpable the deduc tions. The vast advantages of free trade are now too well understood by the people generally. It has too fully verified the predictions of its advocates, and borne too I well the tests to which it was subjected, to suppose it possible that it could be in any degree injured, or the faith of its votaries shaken by such flimsy argu ments as those with which it was assailed by the champion of monopoly. A gentleman, who writes under the signature of " Plain Facts," was, however, resolved not to let the gallant Protectionist thus escape. He has taken the several details of his letter, and given to each the most clear and satisfactory answers. He has assumed the arms of the enemy, and met statis tics by statistics, and figures by figures ; indeed, a more complete refutation of every point put forward by the Noble Lord could not be desired than is con- M"answer to his Address, by Plain Facts," which has just appeared, and which we heartaty com mend to the public notice. The commencement is a defence of Sir R. PEEL against the charges of incon,istency preferred against him. He -lows that there was one thing wanting to give importance to the powerful argu ments of those who advocated the most unre stricted freedom of trade. They *anted facts and statistics to illustrate the truth of their doctrines ; their reasoning was of the clearest character, their theories apparently based on truth, but experience was wanting as to the practical results, and some uncertainty must prevail with respect thereto until they were actually tested thereby. Sir R. PEEL , on his accession to power, began the series of measures that supplied the requisite data. He reduced the duties on many articles of general consumption, and totally repealed it on others—amongst the rest, cattle, sheep, meat, and other descriptions of human food, formerly prohibited, were admitted free, not only without opposition from, but with the sanction and assistance of Lord G. BENTINCK himself, and the success of these experiments naturally led to the great and final act of his Ministry—the abolition of all pro tective imposts (every duty henceforward being collected for purposes of revenue alone), to which the measures of former years all directly tended: It would, indeed, be but a false consistency that would lead even a private Member of Parliament, much less a Minister of the Crown, entrusted with the destinies of a great nation, to act against his honest convictions, Ind to persevere in an erroneous course, of the im policy and injurious consequences of which he had been convinced by recent circumstances. The argument that there could have been no scarcity in Ireland, and that therefore the free im portation of corn was not required on that account, because there had been large importations of grain, flour, oatmeal, cattle, and swine from that country to England during the first six months of 1846, is well met by "Plain Facts." Ile reminds the Noble Lord that flour and meat are rarely, if ever, articles of diet within the reach of the poorer classes in Ire land, and, in confirmation of his views, he cites re turns from official documents, showing that even in the last six months of 1846, and the first three months of 1847, a period during which the frightful reality could not be controverted or denied, a very large quantity of the same description of provisions were im ported from the sister island. He also shows the vari ous means by which the famine, or perhaps we should say, the great ecarcity, in that year was obviated, and amongst others that, from the sth of Jul), 1845, to the sth of July, 1846, there were entered for home consumption 255,853 quarters of Indian corn, and 87,734 cwt. of Indian meal, the whole of which latter took place in the first six months of 1846 ; while in 1844 the whole amount of Indian corn entered for consumption was but 38,711 qrs., and no Indian meal. And taking the commissariat estimate furnished to Parliament, he shows that that quantity of corn and meal would have fed 690,800 persons from 15 to 60 years of age for four months. He also shows the gradual diminution in the exportation of oatmeal, the description of food chiefly made use of with Indian corn, on the failure of the potato, during the six months selected by Lord GEORGE for the purposes of his argument — that in January being 118,251 cwt., . and in June 25,731 cwt. only ; and that the general impor tation of oats and oatmeal in 1844 was greatly above that of any other species of provisions. We regret our space does not allow us to go through this ad mirable pamphlet; we are convinced, however, that it will recei ve f rom a ll i ntereste d in such subjects the attentive perusal which it so well merits. There are few who may not receive much useful information from its pages. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. The National has the following observations on . the rumours which we mentioned yesterday, of another Peer of France having committed a murder : " The Patrie, in explanation of one of the reports which we mentioned this morning, expresses itself in the following terms :-- 4 Since yesterday public attention has been absorbed by a report that a prince of the empire, h 0 is a Peer of France, has assassinated a young per son with whom he maintained intimate relations.' As sassinated ! The word is grave, and after the horrible event which still occupies every mind, it would suggest some drama of a similar nature. No, the princes of the empire are not yet so far advanced as the dukes of the ancien regime. If the details which have been repeated to us are accurate, the Peer of France to whom allusion has been made was not so determined in his attack on his victim. It is true that she was a woman, and that this woman had been extremely kind to him, and that, in a fit of passion, he stabbed her with a knife. That person was an Indian woman, much older than the Prince. He had, it was said, brought her from India, where he hail passed tour or five years. It was thought, she was dead, Lot she was only wounded, and, as a Peer of France cannot be arrested even when detected in the commiss:on of a crime, the Prince, we are assured, em barked for Eegland. The affair, as may be seen, is but of little importance, but, nevertheless, we live in a period when it is not well to sufrwr such accusations against a Peer to be circulated. If the officers of justice have not taken cognizance of the matter, the police ought t o be informed of it. If the fact be false, it will be contra dicted ; if it be true, an explanation will, no doubt, be given of the delay in commencing judicial proceedings that has occurred." _ _ .

The Peer of France above alluded to is the Prince of ECK:KUHL, the son of Marshal DAVOUST, and the young woman whom he attempted to assassinate was brought by him from India, in which he had passed some time. The crime was, it is said, committed whilst the Prince was in a state of furious jealousy. Though a Peer of France, the Prince is under the control of what is called a conseil judiciare, a person appointed by his family with the sanction of the tri- Luna!, to prevent him from squandering away the remains of his fortune, his prodigality having rendered such an appointment necessary. According to the Patric, the eldest son of the Duke and Duchess DEPstasust,:a youth of seventeen, driven mad by the misfortunes of his family, has committed suicide. The same journal contains the following announce ment, for which, however, we believe there is no foundation : .. Tr is said that the Council held on Sunday, and at which the King assisted, resolved uo bft i 1 ti .s 4.1t**...1“, * * . the coast of Italy, in case the Austrians should refuse 1 to evacuate Ferrara. It would appear that the English did not confine themselves to a mere menace, and that their fint is en route for the Italian coast. It was even assumed this evening that the English vessels lately seen off Otranto had effected a landing near Ancona. This intelligence, fully believed at the moment we were going to,press, produced a lively sensation.", . .. That the energetic conduct of the Porn and of the King of SARDINIA, backed by the strong language of the whole of the French press, has forced M. GUIZOT to be more respectful in his language when speaking of the Italian Liberals, is evident from the following article published in the Revue des Deux Mondes, which contrasts strongly with that of the Journal des Dibats : " In a letter addressed to a personage well known for his liberal principles and his devotion to the person of King Charles Albert, that Prince formally condemned the occupation of Ferrara. The King subsequently re peated the expression of his discontent in presence of several members of the corps diplomatique, and particu larly the Nuncio of the Holy See, Monsignor Antonucci, to whom he offered the support of Piedmont against the exigencies of Austria. That determination was in spired by M. de la Villamarina, the Minister of War,, and the Duke of Savoy, who, although married to an Austrian Princess, constituted himself, on this occasion, the organ of the wishes of the nation.' Nevertheless, it does not appear that any official step has yet been taken, and it is not certain, as stated by the journals, that a note in that sense had been addressed to the Cabinet of Vienna, although a very angry polemique between the Piedmontese Gazette and the official journal of Milan hal roused the hopes of the people of Turin. The agitation in Piedmont is very great, particularly in the army, which is an important symptom in the eyes of those who know the methodical and cool character of the Piedtmntese. This attitude of Piedmont will not be without influence in the present circumstances. It is the indication of a tendency to wards tha only system of policy suitable to Italy ; we mean, the conclusion of a defensive alliance, which, se curing the Sovereigns of the Peninsula against foreign influence, would establish between them a sort of reci procity in the accomplishment of peaceable and progres sive reforms. By uniting with the rest of Italy, King Charles Albert would serve the interests of his country, and prove himself faithful to the traditions of the house of Savoy. Piedmont possesses an army of 52,000 men in time of peace, which, if placed on the war footing, and by calling out the provincial battalions, would be quickly raised to double that number. Its navy is respectable, its finances in an excellent condition, and its administra tion confided to truly distinguished men. Piedmont may consequently aspire to a great share of influence in Italian affairs, and with a little more decision or firmness on the part of the King, inspire confidence to the Peninsula. The states of Parma, Modena, and Lucca are completely under the influence of the Cabinet of Vienna. The Archduchess Maria Louisa governs in the namo of the Emperor Ferdinand. Modena is the citadel and princi pal seat of the retrograde party, and the imprudent So vereign of Lucca seems to delight in exciting his subjects to revolt by his tyrannical caprices and in opening on that side a gate to Austrian intervention. The import ance of these petty states is inconsiderable, and their opposition figeinevsdessni oan constitute for their neighbours a permanent cause of dis turbances, as was recently the case on the occasion of the massacres of Parma.

The Constitutionntl has the following from Turin, dated the 27th ult.;-- " A circular of Prince de Metternich was lately sent to all the Italian Governments. It contains rules and instructions (norme e istruzioni) for the maintenane of peace in Italy. King Charles Albert was very indignant at it, and caused an energetic reply to be made to it in the terms which it merited. M. de Metternich made, in the same circular, the demand to place, if necessary, an Austrian garrison in the citadel of Alexandria; and, as the events of Ferrara occurred at that period, the King made a solemn protest against foreign intervention in any province whatever of Italy. Besides that, be sent to offer to the Pope the support of his land and sea forces. This information was received with great enthusiasm by the people in general, and especially by the army, whose anti-Austrian spirit is greater than ever. It is also re ported that Sardinia has just acceded to the alliance which England has concluded with W urtembur g , Ba varia, and the Duchy of Baden, to oppose foreign inter vention in Switzerland. It is not, therefore, astonishing that Mr. Abercrombie, the English Minister, praises the noble and energetic conduct of the King of Sardinia, whilst Count Mortier, the French Ambassador, blames it, so to speak, publicly, and declaims on all occasions against the s h t thi typo pe , ople and princes of Italy. We are assured encouraged by the support promised by Intelligence from Naples of the 22d ult. has been received. In consequence of some disturbances which had oc curred at Palermo, the Messrs. GA.LLO, togeth er w ith ,ever al other respectable inhabitants of the city, and five non-commiss ioned officers of the garrison, h ave been arrested. General DESEGUET, at the head of 2,000 men, had been ordered to the Abruzzi. The KING had gone to Messina. A supplement of the Italia gives the following from Rome, 23d ult. : " Piedmont has decidedly pronounced in favour of the THE _SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1847. the King of Sardinia, has made knen to the foreign powers that he was not desirous of le intervention of their forces in his states, and that he as given orders to send three months' supplies to Alone and Civita- Vecchia, and to put those places in estate to resist all surprise." MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were only 3,000 bales, but generally at steady rates. Railway Shares were rather lower. The ship arrivals are not numerous, but the intelli gence to June 29 from the Cape of Good Hope—given in another column of The Sun—notices a further reverse for the British troops, in an ill-planned enterprise against the kraal of Sandilla, the Kafir chief. No doubt we shall early redeem this mistake ; but such a want of success is apt to inspire contempt in the natives, who appear to dread more the armed colonists than the dis ciplined troops. The decision came to yesterdoy afternoon by the Bank of England, to make the usual loans while the transfer books are closed, at 5 per cent., gives satis faction here, although it is considered that the ordinary caurse might have been adopted, via , the issue of a public notice. The directors have still posted at the discount office their last intimation, that the minimum rate on bills of exchange was si, and consequently one would infer that they only mean to advance at 5 per cent. upon the funded and unfunded debt. A resolution passed at one parlour meeting requires confirmation at the next, and possibly we may hear more of the matter next week. Certainly the Bank should consider, in the first place, the mercantile community, whose tradeibene fits the country at large. Yielding to the representations of many houses greatly interested in the preservation of commercial credit, Messrs. Overend and Gurney accepted late yes terday afternoon the bills of Prane, Ward, and Co., some of which were already protested. Indeed, many parties interested were not aware of the determination until nearly the close of banking hours, and immediately ran to avail themselves thereof, and get the agreeable endorsement "accepted" written on their paper. The accounts from the manufacturing districts notice a tendency to improvement, but even if the demand in creases, it seems that prices scarcely move, and leave no reasonable profit to the mill-owner, who has to pay so dearly for the raw staple.

(FROM A COURIWONDENT.) The reported failure of tb " third" attempt made by our Government, in onjunction with that of France, to put an end to the disastrous and disgrace ful proceedings of the Ar;entine and Oriental re publics, so injurious to car commerce, naturally leads one to suppose that here must be something " rotten in the state of lenmark"—that the nego tiations have been based of erroneous or false pre mises—that the respefitile Governments were not fully apprised of the difficllties they had to encounter, and consequently their Plenipotentiaries not provided with ample instructions, so as to meet all emergencies and provide against all contingencies : or, what ap pears very possible, there are " some wheels within wheels," unexposed to the eye, which counteract the working of the visible machinery. It will not be, perhaps, unarrusing nor uninstruc tive, to look back to the rise, progress, and present state of affairs in the River Plata, in order to form a Judgment as to the probable result of our interference. By the convention between Buenos Ayres and Brazil in 1827, the independence of Monte Video, or Oriental Republic, was estabhshed, and the two countries above-mentioned guaranteed, pro tempore, its nationality and institutions against all " foreign interference." This convention vas to have been fol lowed up by " a treaty" between the two Govern ments, but which has never been concluded to the present moment. In consequence of some disputes amongst the two parties into which the Monte Videans split, Oribe, their President, was obliged to relinquish his post to Fructuoso Rivera (who had greatly contributed to the province of the Banda Oriental being converted into a republic), and to take refuge at Buenos Ayres; whereas, after a time, he prevailed on Rosas to assist him with troops of the Argentine Republic to replace him in the President's chair; hence sprung the con test which has now continued for ten or twelve years. Oribe, not being able to gain possession of M onte Video, the capital, nor Rivera to raise its seige or drive the Argentines out of the country. Brazil remonstrated with Buenos Ayres on its forces entering the Oriental territories, but Rosas declaring that he had no hostile intentions in view of possessing himself thereof, and that his troops were only to act as auxiliaries to President Oribe, the Brazilian Government were satisfied. Soon after the Monte Videans engaged in their service a number of foreigners, French, Italians, &c. The French Government having in the mean time r,iade a treaty with Buenos Ayres, forbad their sub jects from bearing arms against the Argentines, but these persisted in doing so. As this civil war appeared to be interminable, and was loudly complained of by the merchants and ship owners of all nations as highly detrimental, and tate ided with great loss to all parties interested, Brazil, having put an end to the civil war in her own province of Rio Grande do Sul, was anxious that that in the neighbouring republic should like wise be brought to a speedy close ; and being apprehensive that she might be embroiled in some way or other in the struggle between the two republics on her bor ders, proposed to England and France (who were both in some measure bound to preserve the indepen dence of the Oriental State), by an amicable and united effort, to endeavour to bring about a recon- CIWALIAM UL Cale pis. tat.. merits to the commerce and navigation of La Plata, rescue the two contending States from present misery and impending ruin, and elevate them to a state of peace and prosperity equal to her own. It appears England and France had previously en tertained an intention of interfering, with a view of putting a stop to such unnatural and unprofitable war fare, but declined instructing their envoys at Rio de Janeiro to act in concert with the Brazilian Govern ment, and appointed plenipotentiaries to proceed to Monte Video and Buenos Ayres on a special mission, with credentials to both those Governments, in hopes of bringing the obstinate and protracted strife to a conclusion, honourable and advantageous to both parties. It is impossible to. say what might have been the result had the proposition of Brazil been acceded to; but so far it is to be surmised that the result would not have been less successful, but might have been more fortunate than that of the two European PoWers by themselves. Since Rosas has taken ad vantage thereof , first, in raising a prejudice in both Republics against the interference of European States in the affairs of . America. Secondly, to call upon Brazil to assist O ri be in expelling the French, English, and other European forces from the oriental territories. By the measures adopted by the first plenipoten tiaries (steps that would not have been taken had Brazil had any share in the negotiations), the Brazilian Video Government were placed in a very unpleasant situa tion, instance, by the landing of British troops in at t the Monte first to assist in the defence of that city, and in the second place by forcing the passage of the River Parana—for although she warded off the first remonstrances of Rosas, and demand for its aid, to expel the European i nva d e rs, by receiving in answer to an application to the envoys as to their in tentions, that they had no ho s til e v iews nor preten sions as to the Oriental Republic, but merely inter vened as the governor of Bu enos Ayres himself had done in order to secure the independence of the former, and place it on a safe and permanent basis. But with regard to the navigation of the River Parana, in which Brazil was more particularly in terested, as the means of communicating from the River Plate with her important provinces of Goyas and Matto Grosso, situate on the borders of the River Paraguay, . and extending on one side to the Parana itself—still Brazil acknowledging the prin ciple that where the same country has possession of both sides the entrance of a river, it has a right to demand a sale, or interdict its waters to foreign ship ping, such as is the case with regard to the Elbe and the Scheldt, and even in the Baltic and Danube, Austria did not interfere. The envoys, by intermeddling at the instigation of the foreign merchants at Monte Video, rendered the object in dispute more com p licated, and in tneir eagerness to open a communication by water with Paraguay and Corrientes, they overlooked the conse quences the forcing that river would i ne vitably . lead to, and for an uncertain and precarious benefit in curred the risk (which is now being realised) of mixing up one question with the other, thereby greatly embarrassing their s uccessors (the present plenipotentiaries) and putting it into . Rosas' power to require indemnity for th e losses sustamed. And to declare all vessels and their crews navi gating the Parana, pirat es, and liable to be punished as such ; to which, proba bl y , our declaring Bratilian subjects and ships, pursuing the African slave• trade, to be such, and subject to our Admiralty Courts they were instigated. Mr. Hood's endeavours to undo what , the first oved quite fruitless ; and plenipotentiaries had done pr by the last accounts, the exertions of the present envoys are almost as hopeless, for, although they hare raised the Beige of Buenos Ayres, unless they go further, and give Rosas satisfaction, in respect to what he terms the Argentine Question , nothing will be done as to his withdrawing his troops from Monte Video, nor alteri ng his views as to Corrientes and Paraguay. Oribe, if left apparently at free-will to settle the Oriental Question, will still be influenced, " under the rose," by the advice, if not c ommands of Rosas, so that, in p o i n t o f f ac t, the affairs of the River Plate were not in a more satisfactory stat e than when we firstinterfered ; on the contrary, are more compli cated, in consequence of Rosas' endeavours to draw Brazil into a squabble with this country and France. In fine, the query still is—When will there an end be put to this sad state of things in the River Plate ? and how is it to be done ? ONE PRICES OF liMTISII FUNDS. O'CLOCK. 3 per Cent.

RELATING TO THE THEMIS OF WATERFORD. A despatch has been received at Lloyd's from the Foreign office, inclosing an extract from a despatch from her Majesty's consul at Lisbon, reporting the loss of the British schooner Themis, of Waterford, John Dobson master, at sea, on the 2d inst., seventy miles N.W. of Vienna ; crew saved. NOTICE TO MARINERS. INVESTIGATOR'S STRAITS. The following has been posted at Lloyd's : " Colonial Secretary's-office, Adelaide, " March 23, 1846. " His Excellency the Lieutenant- Governor has been pleased to direct that the following minute, relative to a Harbour of Refuge in Investigator's Straits, be published for general information. " By his Excellency's command. "A. M. ItHIDY, Colonial Secretary. [Minute.] " I beg to call the attention of mariners navigating In vestigator's Straits, to the advantages presented by a large bay situated upon the Southern Coast of Yorke's Peninsula, nearly midway between Troubridge Shoal and Cape Spencer, a place of refuge for shipping on meeting with Goeth- westerly and westerly winds, when bound to the westward ; or indeed during a north-easter, if bound to Port Adelaide. " In Flinder's Chart this bay is represented as sur rounded by shoals, to the extent of three or four miles from the shore. Flintier does not appear to have eta mined the soundings minutely, and the line of shoal ground is laid &nen rather as conjectural than as having been ascertained. It has, however, deterred navigators from entering..into the bay, except the Mor e venturesome engaged in tg whaling business. In reality, the shoals do not exist. The bay may be approached with safety; and good anchoring ground will be found near the western shore in seven fathoms, sandy bottom, at about one mile from the beach, in four fathoms at about half that distances On the eastern shore of the bay, near Troubridge Hill, the w ater is deep, and a vessel may approach within a quarter of a mile of the beach before obtaining soundings with seven fathoms of line. " The western shore of the bay is formed by a pro montory of low sand hills, clothed with grass and trees (the oak), terminating in a flat rocky point, which forms an effectual breakwater during south-west gales. Under lee of this port ships may ride at anchor in smooth water, with every facility for getting under weigh whenever the wind becomes favourable. Although the bay is open to the south and south-east, winds from those quarters, owing to the n arrowness of the Strait, do not raise a sea sufficient to impede a vessel in weighing anchor. " Mariners bound to the westward, meeting adverse winds in the Straits, occasionally seek shelter under lee of Point Marsden, or in Nepeaii Bey, or they bear up for Port Adelaide. In either case, much more time and distance is lost than by resorting to the bay in question. " For convenient reference hereafter, I purpose assign : ing to this bq the name of Swat, and 0.) the low sandy ponefotinin4 the westera p.i. t, ‘f it, tilat of D t,, , nr.. rt The wooded bandhills on Point Deveeport may be about forty to fifty feet in height ; and at about half a , uel I ... mile inland are salt water lagoons, dry in summer. tob- o r k lugflfl ON. - D9N. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 3, 1847. Austria is ingeniously precipitating the downral of that power which it has exercised during three centuries in the Italian peninsula. After outraging the opinion of the whole civilised world by the annexation of Cracow, it is calling down upon itself an indescribable odium by the occupation of Ferrara. The outrageous audacity of these proceedings, however, constitutes their own coun terpoise. There can now be no fear for tie independence of those principalities which are cen tiguous to the AuArian dominions. Their permanent emancipation is only facilitated by the avaricious approaches and assaults of absolutism. Italy is at this moment affording testimony of the accuracy of this argument. So far from the entrance of Count AUPSEERG into Ferrara proving the preliminary t, the submission of the Pontifical Government, the . rash movement has only consolidated the influence o the glorious reformer who has been christened by the people of Corneto, " Sovrano Padre e Redentore Im mortale 1' Had METTERNICH followed a more cau tious policy he might possibly have retarded the pro gress of the patriotic and liberative course now pursued by Pius IX., he might indeed have miti gated, in some measure, the anguish accruing to tht despotic Government of Vienna from the disappear ance of its authority in the Peninsula. As it is, he has imparted an irresistible impulse to the political movements of an enlightened Sovereign and an una nimous race. His whole soul revolted doubtless at the dispersion cf the dreams of his allegiance but in yielding to the first passion of his indignatiol at the proceedings of his HoLINEss, Prince METTER NICII has only hastened the day when Venetian Lom bardy shall revile the domination of Hapsburg and the whole of that immortal land of which it is the northern extremity—from the Cape of Spartivento to the frontiers of Switzerland—shall awake to the voice of Freedom. " Roma! Roma ! Roma ! non e come ert, prima !" can no longer be the lament of the children of Italy—Ptus has drowned that pathetic cry in -tin hymns of liberty and the acclamations of patriotism. Already has it been announced in our columns, an' confirmed by later intelligence, that the King of SAR DIN IA has associated himself with his lloatsi aSs in th, sublime cause of liberality, and in the united deferm - of their national existence. Hitherto C ALBERT has proved but a faithless ally when opposen to the legions of tyranny. We would believe, how ever, that his MAJESTY iS now so far committer with the antagonists of the Viennese Cabinet that there is no possibility of his withdrawal His own stronghold of Alessandria has been threat ened with a fate similar to that of Ferrara • he has a lr e ady tendered his military and maritime f orces to the Sovereign PONTIFF, and joins the Holy Father in protesting against the villanous and indefensible acts of Austria. Therefore it is that we would believe for once in the sincerity of a Monarch heretofore most insincere in his alliances and friendships Looking upon the co-operation of Sardinia as secured, the ruler of the Papal States can depend upon the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, where the rights of free men are avowed with almost as much distinctness and cordiality as in the council chambers of the Vati can. The miniature republic of Marino is b 3 the force of its antique isolation, alive to the blessings of independence, and will be prepared t( volunteer with its compatriots in the preservation of the integrity of the southern banks of the Po. The ra nor duchies of Par ma , M o d ena , an d Lucca being, moreover, awed by their contiguity to the principali - ties banded together against the abhorred mercenaries of FERDINAND, must be rendered altogether innocuous, if their population is not e a n c t t i la s l i l as y i a s rous f ed by the wrongs of Lombardy, and the their infuriated Venetian m fellow -countrymen . Lombardyshake off itself will infallibly be prepared to s fr e o r a c n e t e i h y d, chains under which it has so 3 favourable loa gr p so soon as it shall see oppor tunity, so on, in short, as it shall the other divisions of the Peninsula combined in the defence of their boundaries, and simultaneous in the announcement of their emancipation. Other wise all Europe has been deceived as to the latent valour of its inhabitants ; otherwise the intermittent groans of its press have been insidious and illusory otherwise the lamentations of SILVIO PELLICO have been uttered to no purpose, and the bondage of that Austrian province is doomed to be perpetual. More or less, therefore, Sardinia and Tuscany are already l eague d w i t h hi s HOLINESS, and at heart Par.r.a, :galena, Lucca, and Venetian Lom bardy symp a thi se i n the ardour of his supporters. All Northern a n d Central Italy, in short, are prepared to aid in the arduou s b u t su blime struggle which seems to he po p s\ r T eparin g for the sub jects of the Soveriegn Besides this, Prussia regards the conduct oflFl.r"ius IX, with ap proval, and FREnzaica WILHELM IV. has himself pronounced the panegyric of th e Pope whileim" on versing with his Imperial Highness the Pri!icceofr CANINO.
