THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING JULY 15, 1882.

tient, and angry, to hold it like a bound in leash,
and ready to spring at the throat of Austria, as.
soon as it is the Franco-Russian interest that nal"'
should do so, but not before.
What the Patric says *boot the dispute between
Denmark and Germany is simple nonsense. England
and Austria fully agree with Russia and with France
as to the necessity of maintaining the independence
and integrity of Denmark. It is merely the
National Union of Germany that has got astride
of this question, which the Prussian Government
takes up in order to gain some popularity out of
it. But that farce has been played too often.
In none of these questions can we find a sufficient
foundation for the congratulations of the Pairie.
The advantage which France is likely to gain from
protecting Eastern Catholics appears to be of about
the same importanoe as the advantage to be
gained from her crusade in Mexico—attended
with infinite embarrassment and expense. But Russia
has at present the strongest interest in keeping
France her friend. Russia is engaged in what is
little less than the re-conquest of Poland, and this
at a time when the soil of Rumeia itself trembles
with disaffection. A word of France to Warsaw,
boldly spoken, and Poland would stand up once more
a resuscitated nation. Russian flattery, therefore,
Russian obsequiousness, Russian alliance, proffered
to France we can perfectly understand. NAPO-
LEON'S credulity in receiving all this, and in''
boasting of it as a strength and a homage,
makes us fear that the vanity of the French DA-
PI/Wit is strong enough to eclipse his judgment,
and make him throw away the best opportunity of
his reign. . _

There is no doubt that the recognition of the
Kingdom of Italy by Russia at the present moment
was warmly solicited by the French Government,
and was gratefully received by it. A more con-
clusive answer to the manifesto of the French
Pretender at Lucerne could not be given. The
Duke of BORDEAUX issued 114 mandate to the
French Legitimists, allowing them to do what they
were already determined to do without his leave,
vote for the priestly party in the French elec-
tions. NAPOLION replies by the sanction of
united Europe, Austria alone excepted,
to the expulsion of the BOURBONS from
Italy. Deserted by people and by courts,
Legitimacy finds its last and sole patronage in
Rome. That patronage may cost Rome dear;',
for certainly whatever sentiments the French
I Escrows may have before entertained for the
movement of Italy, the alliance which the Church
and the Iliouseose have made and proclaimed
against NAPOLION 111. must tend to fling
the latter more fully into the Italian cause. High
authority in Parliament has told us that Prussia,
in giving its recognition of the Italian throne, re-
commends a reciprocal recognition at the same
time of German rights. And whatever Russia
might have done, Prussia would scarcely have ,
come forward with its adhesion had it not received
some assurance that the territories of the German
Confederation would be respected by the new
kingdom.
But there is little use or validity in promises,
even if such promises were given, of maintaining
Italy permanently 1-1 the status quo. "To what
"is impossible no one is bound." And to keep
Italians content, with Venet's and Rome in the
hands of avowed and ever active enemies, is an
impossibility far surpassing and surmounting every
word, promise, or guarantee that Italian prince or
statesman can give. All that can be done or
hoped for is to tide over some months, or weeks.
And we believe that neither France nor Russia
expects or even desires more than • tem-
porary lull. The two Powers may insist on tike
Italians being tranquil for the present. Perhaps
such injunctions are accompanied by other words
and explanations, giving hopes of • very different
solution of the Italian question from the status
quo. The government of Italy bows in faint and
momentary acquiescence, but meantime does not
relax its armaments or bate one jot of its pre-
tensions.
