LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3.

Jeer a year ago all eyes and ears were bent
with trembling eagerness upon Italy. GARIBALDI,
driven from his birthplace, seeing his country bound
hand and foot to the French EMPEROR, chafing
with impatience at the pusillanimous intrigue'
which had superseded patriotic counsels at Turin,
had resolved to make M. RATIAZZI and M.
Rarrazzi's prompters understand that he would
be neither • dupe nor a tool of foreign schemes of
domination and disturbance. GARIBALDI, the pure,
the disinterested, the self-sacrificing, had fallen
on the heights of Aspromonte ; and the Imperial
Government, which had seduced M. Barra= into
the persuasion that a friendly settlement of the
Roman question should be the recompense of the
defeat and capture of GARIBALDI, was sending
complimentary messages to the destined victim of
its wayward promises and arrogant demands.
The French EMPEROR, satisfied with the re-
moval of GAILIBLLDT, was content to close the
ministeriel career of a statesman who had accepted
the office of executioner. A twelvemonth after M.
RATIAZZI is politically nowhere ; GARIBALDI,
whom at the Emerson's orders he struck down,
is everywhere in spirit—everywhere in the hearts
and hopes of his countrymen. GARIEALDI was no
sooner stretched on a bed of anguish, perhaps of
death, than the magnanimous ally of Italy—moved
by that pious and playful influence which, in the
pauses of incessant millinery, commissions armies
to fight for the Church in Mexico, and
pleads the cause of Papal assassins—se-
lected as his Foreign Minister • man most
hostile to Italy, and sent as his representative to
Turin a man conspicuous for nothing but • Papal
order in his buttonhole. Italy, however, with that
marvellous practical sagacity which has saved her
from so many dangers, dismissed with disgrace •
Ministry more to be pitied perhaps than blamed, but
doomed to pay the penalty of serving two masters,
and sat down to count the cost of exceasivegratitode,
and by a series of sound measures of administra-
tion to organise the true conditions of national in-
dependence—order, economy, liberty, stability.
The present Cabinet of Turin entered upon an in-
heritance of difficulties, foreign and domestic ; an
enormous financial deficit to be covered by
taxation, not by retrenchment ; an army and
navy to be strengthened, not reduced ;
large public works to be undertaken ; brigandage
to be suppressed in the Southern Provinces ; the
angry passions of extreme parties, inflamed by the
conflict of Aspromonte, to be appeased ; and all
this time the French Government threatening, ob-
structing, worrying, at every point ; playing feat
and loose with the Pore's bandits ; holding
Rome as a pledge for the disunion and weakness
of the Italian Kingdom, and exacting a Shylock's
bond for every slight concession to the nation's

rights.
And so the old year passed sway and the
new year came, opening new chapters of the
world's history ; a life and death struggle in
Poland, a paroxysm of civil war in America,
new alliances of European Powers, and a political
reconstruction of Germany under Austria. In the
midst of all these startling events the danger of
Italy, as a question unsolved, has almost faded out
of the public mind of Europe. If, indeed, the quiet-
ness which Italy has enjoyed during the last twelve-
month were sufficient evidence of her present wel-
fare, or security for her future peace, we
should have nothing but unfeigned sate-
faction to express. But our letters from
all parts of Italy warn us moat emphatically
that beneath this tranquil surface of affairs men's'
minds are far from calm. Throughout the Penin-
sula it is felt with ever increasing bitterness that
the Second Empire, after doing just enough for
Italy to demand two provinces in payment, to
humble her own historic rival, and to glut aioraving
appetite for glory, is now the bitterest foe to the
unity, liberty, and independence of Italy ; that
the French Government would sacrifice Italy to
any Power in Europe to-morrow, and even assist in
crushing her, if the interests or caprice; of the
Court of the Tuilleries were concerned in some new
alliance or some new diplomatic bargain;
that the conduct and bearing of official France
towards the Italian Government is a continual in-
sult and a continual oppression, and that almost
all the troubles that threaten the immediate
future of Italy spring from the double-faced and
double-dealing policy of a Power whose friendship
is even more dangerous than its enmity, and the
very law of whine being is bad faith.
