LONDON, TUESDAY, RSPT. 11.

WICAT a 111111011 for aoearchs ! good people ex-
claim at the sight of the sudden downfall and dis-
appearance of the promising heir and successor of
'MIDI.: AND 11. But monarchs are unfortunately
the most unteachable of pupas in the school of
history. They belong to a caste for whom the
imbecility of their fellow-creatures has created a
sort of second Providence, which has the special
charge o' " the monarchical principle." In the
dispensations of this peculiar Providence there is
nu such thing as good or evil, as human beings in
the mass understand the terms, but only the right
of sovereigns, and the duty of peoples. The right
meals impunity for every offence against the divine,
the moral, and the social law ; and the duty means
deimutsubmissiontoperainountinjustica. Thisisthe
idea of monarchy which still obtains at St. Peters-
burg and Vienna, and among the satellites of those
mighty Powers whose reconciliation is destined to
restore peace and harmony to distructed and de-
moralised Europe. England is the acknowledged poli-
tical heretic ; yet even in England the continental
theory of monarchy is, in a modified and mitigated
senscodill accepted by an old-world statesmanship,

diplomacy. Such is the
" solidarity" of monarchies, that the collapse of
the mealiest of the Bounsues, however long
expected, strikes " liberal" statesmen, who
breathe a dynastic air, like a sudden blow at
lest, as if it were a calamitous interruption
of the order of nature—excusable perhaps,
but dangerous and dreadful. If British states-
imuiship could have preserved that precious throne
to the Neapolitans by officious and merely moral
intervention, we believe it would have done so for
the sake— not of the Neapolitami—but of our
oldest and dearest ally at Vienna. It will not be
the fault of British statesmanship—whatever Sir
t;isieeia Bowies may suppose—if the venerable
establishment at Rome gets into trouble, for
British statesmanship is more than half disposed to
regard that interesting relic as the keystone of the
munarchical arch in Europe. In short, the conser-
vative spirit of our foreign policy is grossly belied
abroad—even in Germany, and our Austrian
friends are absurdly blind to the fact that Downing-
street continues to mop away the revolutionary
deluge with all the force of fifty years ago, only the
seep has "non-interveution" written on the handle.
Paascis 11., however, in spite of all the disinte-
rested efforts of diplomacy to secure him a chance
of betraying and murdering his people as his
fathers did, has gone the way of all the Boresoes,
like a beaten hound. That he will make a stand
in his stronghold at fleets seems less than proba-
ble, though at Gaeta he might resist a aisle and a
blockade, long enough at least to give Lower-
s-teas an opportunity of coming to the rescue.
Plunder is more in the way of tint exemplary
royal family than fighting. Having packed up
his plate, his pictures, and his saints, the poor
young man will probably decamp with his ducats'
to Tneste, or Alicante. Meanwhile the bloodless
triumph of his suoiseeisor in the government at
Naples quickens the faith of the world in the
supremacy of divine justice, and redeems the
sterile baseness of the age.
OJAI/ALDI deserves the reprehension of " en-
"lightened" statesmen, inasmuch as he is neither
self-se*king, nor double-faced, nor courtly, nor
corrupt. The su•.vae of an honest man is a shock
to every Goviecuthiesit m Europe. Here is a plain
patties seidier, who offeni poverty and hardship to
his followers, who compiers kingdoms by the noble-
ness et his soul, aluiust as h as by the
terrors of his sword, and returns to ob-
scanty when his task is done. In four
months he has set free eight millions of men,
and ~ow he enters the capital under the frowning
gulls of royal forte, attended by his staff
only, but with an entire people for his bodyguard.
And his first act is an act of chivalrous loyalty and
dee. teibeess—to proclaim V Enrssuct. Kusg,
and to Inuit a present to the Sovereign elect of
Italy, of an arsenal and a fleet. There is nothing
hero• of the Dictatorship which, according to candid
friends, was to spurn co-operation, to resist the
control of prudent counsels, and to sacrifice the
common cause to sonic paltry personal and private
gruil;e. Assuredly there is more of the antique
R 41111.111 than of any modern hero in this
nowyniticent humility which outwits the crafty.
