LONDON, FRIDAY. APRIL 23.

Tent vote of the House of Commons on the motion
which is this evening to be submitted to it by Mr.
feateu C. may lead to the moat momentous imam
It may decide whether there is to be peace or woo
in Swope. The ominous prelude to the storm may
already be heard muttering in the distance. Yes-
terday the dat refusal of the Neapolitan Govern-
ment to °assent to the claims of Sardinia in the ease
of the Cagliari, was intimated to Count CevOnn;
and letters from Naples speak of the movement of
Neapolitan troops towards the frontier.

The inveterate hatred which Austria bears to the
Sardinian Government is notorious. It is the most
envenomed of all hatreds—the hatred of fear. Every
sew indication of the prosperity and influence of
Piedmont is resented by Austria as a temptation to
its oppressed subjects in Lombardy and the Venetian
toevitory to throw of its yoke. Every measure
adopted by the Austrian Government on the shores
el the Adriatic is more or lees a menace to
Sardinia. There exists an emirate cordial. be-
two. Vienna, Naples, and Rome; and the
esnisat of this good understanding is the nom-
mos' bar and hatred of Sardinia entertained
by thee* three Courts. When this enmity cannot
find vent is injariss it breaks out in insolence. Re-
lying on the conntenance and support of Austria,
the King of NArt.sa has refused to do justice to Sar-
dinia in the matter of the Cagliari. The Govern-
ment-controlled press of Vienna bas been encouraging
the King of NAPLIER thus to set Sardinia at defiance.
The Oit Deutsch* Post, after sneering at " the
" newly-constitated Great Power," declares that,
." The toticeesion which a menaced Government may
" make to as over-powerful State [England], the
" King of Km.= will never make to as Italian
" neighbour and rival [Sardinia]."

Thus threatened, Sardinia naturally begins to
look about for friends who may be disposed to
support her just claims against the Triple Alliance.
The eyes of the Sardinian Government were
first turned though with considerable mis-
giviogs—to England. The systematic, contemptuous
neglect with which Lord CtaarirDow treated all
representations from Turin bad sufficiently shown
that no sincere or effective support from England
could be expected so long as he remained in power.
The advent of Lord MALIINSBURT to office did not
ranch mend the aspect of affairs for Sardinia. Still,
the language which had been held by Lord akin-
DON with regard to the seizure of the Cagliari on the
high seas appeared to be such ea must bind any
Emilia Government to make common cause with
Sardinia in that affair. We speak not of the lan-
guage of Mr. Easura's note, but of the language of
Lord Cuartisnov's despatch. Add to the strong
language which is found in that letter this con-
sideration: It was proved on the inquiry into
Mr. Stns mak that it was the practise in
the Indian department of the late Government to
transact mush important baleen by means of con-
versations and " confidential" letters of which no
record was kept. We have good reason to believe
that a similar policy prevailed in ether departments,
and specially im the foreign department of that Go-
vernment It is whispered that the Sardinian
Government had reavoos even more valid than the
strong language in Lord CLARENDON'S despatch for
relying on the co-operation of England in the affair
of the Cagliari. But the conduct of Lard MALKIN-
ICILY has, to say the least, been very equivocal.
The pother made about Mr. Eaanntra inter-
polation bad very much the appearance of
a preparation te bask oat of any pro-
mise, explicit or implied, to make emanate
cause with Sardinia in the affair of the Cagliari.
And now the opinion obtained from the law dime
of the Crown may be used u an apology by Minis-
ters for leaving Sardinia in the lurch, if the King of
NA FLU will only comply with the Eaglish demand
for sompensation. If, therefore, the Home of Com-
mons refuse to declare—in the words of Mr. KING-
LARS'S motion —" That this House has hoard with
" much regret that some doubt exists whether her
" MAJZSTT'S Government will adhere to the princi-
" plea and the course of action indicated and
" suggested to the Sardinian Government by Lord
" Ct.taannon's despatch of the 29th day of Deeem-
" bee; and this House trysts, that in the demands
" rids by bar Majesty the Quests, and by the King
0 of SARDINIA, in relation to the capture of the
" Cagliari and her crew, the two Governments will
" be able to act in cordial concert"—the only inter-
pretation that can be put upon its Wand will be
that England intends to desert and betray Sardinia.

Mill can be no doubt that Govenment have
exercised • sound discretion in resolving lot to pro-
ceed farther with the charge of ocaspireey against
Dr. BIRJAILD. Tee charge of conspiracy war sir-.
teaks involved is the graver charge recently tried
before the flpselal Commission. The evidence
which meet have been relied on in order to establish
a case of esespiracy was precisely that which had
been before adduced in support of the prosecution
for the capital offence. Under there circumstances,
to have proceeded with the subordinate charge
would have been a manifest violation of the
wise sad humans principle of our criminal law
—a principle upheld with jealous eigileau
in all ages of ear history—ghat no man
shall twice be pat cm his trill to eariaw
the same accusation. The palsy and Julies
of the rule are manifest. Any degartare from
the maxim, Nemo dela fit swarri pre *Mae nensi,
would obviously load to practically tharwasa saw
