Lord NORMANDY reports to him. It le sad to have
to speak thus of one who cease enjoyed se high a
reputation far liberal sentimentei bat the truth is
that Lard NORMANDY. who, when a young man at
Flamm, was himself a conepirater for liberty, is
now the defender of every Italian abuse. He
is sending home elaborate despatches in ex-
mutation of the conduct of the Duchess of
Palms. The policy of the Dooms may be
judged by the anteoedests of Count Zama, who
inspires it. That Minister, when the Grand Decal
Government was restored, after the events of 1648,
had the brutality to have the graves of those Liberals
who had died during the GRAND Donz's absence
broken open, and their bodies removed frem conse-
crated, and contumeliously out into aeconsearated,
ground. Such are the people who now, ander the
protection of Austrian bayonetr, rale in Panne; and
Lord NORMANDY defends, palliates, or excuses all
their teethes. The honour and interest of England
alike demand his immediate ratal.

The mischief that is being done in Italy by French
coquetting with Austria, and English apathy, is in-
conceivable. Sardinia is losing heart, and despair
is stealing over the Legations. Soros of the move-
ment' encouraged by this state of affairs in the latter
provinces would be laughable, were it not for
the terrible light they throw on the unsettled
state of the public mind. Take an exempla. Among
the Bolognese nobles there lea certain Marquis
DI

of the home of that name—rich,
powerful, and with the reputation of liberal leanings.
There is a double connexion between this nobleman
and the Pamperer of the PRINCE. The Marquis him-
self married a daughter of JOACHIM MURAT ; and his
eon mania a Honutrousix-Hacnixoszt, a near
connexion of Prince Honsitzomiatt-Szoicarisctxx,

who married the Orand Deane lITIPNANIA of
BADEN, the adopted child of the great NAPOLEON.
The Marquis DI REPOLI paid a visit to Paris last year,
and was well received at the Tuileries. Os the
strength of these shadowy mad unsubstantial claims,
Ise and his dependents have actually set intrigue on
foot to have the Legations erected into a petty king-
dom, of which be is to be the secular monarch, ender
the sees of the French Empire. This visionary move.
sant would be utterly unworthy of notice, did it not
prove the .'crafty of prompt action by 'hawing what
vain and mischievous dreams are beginning to spring
from the unsettled state of Italy.
Nothing can arrest the downward progress of
affairs in the Italian peninsula—their rapid proclivity
to anarchy—but the prompt adoption of a firm and
intelligible policy regarding them by England. The
Sardinian Government has spoken and acted nobly ;
it has set the example of asserting the independence
of all Italian States, and forming alliances with a
view to strengthen itself for this purpose. Liberals
like Mem have not hesitated to throw them-
selves into the male of Sardinia. The materials
for a moderate, Miami, practical Liberal party exist
in abundance at this moment in Italy. And only in
the ausadancy of such a party is there for the
Peninsula a doer of escape from Niamey and ter-
mime. Let Beglud bat speak the word, and no
foreign power will dare to interfere to prevent the
complete explained= of the Italian Liberal party,
Bat there must be no hesitatioa, es trimming, no
tergivereation ea the part of the English Goverment.
Bagland mast insist upon Italy's being freed from
foreign soldiers. It has been the bake with Tories,
and Tory Nadia* to sondem Lord Mnrro's missies,
het it invelriel a noble and a generous policy which
England waste do well to adopt in the present user-
pney. It is I. the power of the English people to
force apes their Government the adoption of such a
policy
