a secret treaty between Prance and Sardi-
nia, WhiOli guarantees •to the latter not' only
her ancient possessions, but also those obtained by
the peace of Zurich. There can be no doubt that
there exists a secret treaty between Napoleon and
Cavour, the present conduct of France towards
Piedmont being all a shani to deceive the other
powers; arid; in her ,a*n time, to impose upon
Piedmont the fulfilment of the condition of this
treaty towards France for the successful part she
has played in this gigantic, deception. It is the
policy of the,ruler of the Fretiiiii to. be eternally
coquettiri,6.--first With Itussia,. then with Austria,
then With-Prussia, leaving England almost entirely
abandoned; but as soon as he perceives a want
of cordial feeling on, the part of the northern
powers away he rushes back to the arms of
England, and overpowers her with the warmth
and sincerity of his protestations, which are
Scarcely worth one day's purchase: The political
character of this astute diplotiatist assumes sd
many phases; and each so opposed to one another,
that we cannot reposrithe slightest, hope of con-
stancy or good faith in the present apparently
sincere feeling of Napoleon towards England,
wlirch is actuated by the wise ;policy of a
coali-
t,ion between the certainty of there being. a
• mutual linclerstainding come to tibttreerl the
Norther ti Sovereigns. lam disposed to believe,
'.from my private information, that Count Rech-
herb., has not.- at. present despatched any note .to
the Austrian representatives, and that till now
the greatest secresy has been observed as to the.,
nature of, the engagements entered into between
the three Sovereigns; but, from confidential
whispers, and the extreme attention on the part
of. the Gallic Cock towards the British Lion, I am
dispoSed to believe, as your readers will remem-
ber I prophesied three weeks ago; that the inter.-
View at Warta* *dila; the end, tarn Otit
much more AilStrla than teas
. generally believed; and that a mutual understand-
ing was PoSitiVelY agreed to between these
Powers. .Lords Palmerstrin and Russell, and
Count Persigny seem, by their speeches; to have
explored one political horizon, and fourid nothing
to disturb the serenity, of a happy future, and
that the . prospects of peace were never or.O
favourable' , HOW strangely does
thisTlannage correspond with the absence from
the Lord Mayor's banquet of the ambassadors of
Russia, Austria, and Prussia ; besides, to What-
ever quarter w.c turn our eyes, whether it be
t(..,-;vards Italy, Spain, Prussia, Austria, Russia,
Trance, or England, .we find the most active war
preparations, and no. man, whatever he may be,
or however high his position, can say what
changes may take place between this and the
ensuing, spring. _

;Niy, latest•accounts from Rome again assert as
alino,4t, positive the departtire of the Pope froth
the Eternal City. The place of his retreat is
generally believed to be in some city of Germany,
from whence he • will made a supreme appeal
against the Italian revolution, and once more
hurl the thunders of his anathemas against the
invasion of his territory.
I am, in a position to inform you that within
the last ten days secret committees are being
formed in this city, at Turin, and Genoa, for the
purpose of engaging emissaries to spread agita-
tion and discontent airiong the Hungarians and
Venetians against the
.Anstrip GOVehriiietit)
urging the people riot to accept any reforms or
Conciliations, that all the reforms of Austria are
only a snare and delusion for the present, in
order to crush thetri with fiercer despotism at a
more opportune period. This is the game that
the Italian revolutionary party is now preparing
for the war next spring. My letters from Turin
inforM thatthe elections for the new province's
will be fixed for next month, and the meeting of
Parliament for thelsth January, 1861, by which
time the alterations now making in the Palace
Carignano will" be completed, and sufficiently
large to held 450 deputies.
