NAPOLEON.

NEUTRALITY of ENGLAND.

The 14dependaNce Belpe of Saturday mentions •
rumour that explanations have been salted of the French
Gove-nment by England ax to a phrase in the Imperial
manifesto which, in anticipating the independence of
Italy " to the Adriatic," implies the entire abrogation
of the treaties of MIS. In its nualber of yeaterilay the
same journal says that the explanations offered by the
Cabinet of the Tuileries have appeared sufficient at
London, and that a better understanding prevails
between the two Powers.

The Nord says
The grand news of the day is the resolve on the part
of the Cabinets of L .ndon and Berlin to maintain a
strict neutrality in the present war. A despatch (ruin
London, which we have this moment received, assures
Ad that, after declarations (ruin Ruvia and explanations
by the French Government, England and Prussia have
decided upon absolute neutrality, in order to localise
the war in Italy. The war Co longer threatens to
embrace the rest of the Continent, and its duration will
be all the shorter. To prolong the contest under such
circumstances would be on the part of Austria an act of
madness. Whatever may be the phases through which
this war may pass elsewhere, the imue is not doubtful.
Italy will be restored to herself.

dal. Nothing is less correct (adds the Alondeur) than

Rhine.
