LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 13.

I r there be wan that make ambition virtue,
assuredly Vicros ENNANURL must have drawn
his sword with a tranquil mind on Tuesday last ;
indifferent alike to the calumnies of "scurvy
" politicians," and to the remonstrances of a
diplomacy without heart or conscience. Of the

despoilers of Poland it was, of course, a race
which should throw the first stone at a King who
marches forth—not to diamember a kingdom and
destroy a nation, but to free • kindred popula-
tion fr ma the most blasphemous tyranny that ever
darkened a land rich in the blessings of Heaven.
The representatives of the despotic Powers—content
to dwell in decent villanies for ever—protest with
one accord against the subversion of all dynastic
principles. The descendants of CATHERINE and
FREDERICK the GREAT, the champions of the
oppressed Germans in Schleswig Holstein, vie
with each other in condemning this un-
warrantable attack on " international rights."
" International rights" is a somewhat large ex-
pression for a question which has to be fought out
in the linutsxl area between the frontiers of Tus-
cany and Naples. International rights, as between
Hungary or Poland on the one hand, and Austria,
Russia, or Prussia on the other, or between Den-
mark and the German Powers—we can under-
stand. We have never heard that the population
of Venetia and the Marches claim any rights dis-
tinct from those of their brothers in Piedmont,
and which Tuscany and Naples now enjoy. Perhaps
when the " Powers" talk of international rights,
they mean the "rights" of Courts and Sove•
reigns. In this sense no doubt there is • great
gulf fixed between the rights of the Court of
Rome and the rights of the King of Italy ; and it
is across this gulf that the Italian people are
rushing at the trumpet-call of their elected
K so. 11• e recommend the Powers to
send their representatives to take lessons in
the new school of the rights of nations, which is
already superseding the old school of the rights of
monarchs. Until they have mastered at least the
first principles of this new code, they will build on
sand and beat the air. No Power can pretend
that this new phase of the Italian question was
unforeseen, or that it springs full armed from
the busy brain of Count Cavort. It is the
question which of all others has occupied, time
out of mind, the unquiet impotence of diploma•
testa and the prophetic industry of pamphleteers.
It cannot be said to date from last year's war, or
from the .114,1 l'reprel of 1849, or even from
the Memorandum of 1831. Since the restoration
of the Papacy in 1815, the Adriatic provinces of
the States of the Church have been for brief in-
tervals only in actual possession of the titular
Sovereign, whose "rights" are now in danger.
Austria has been the real ruler of these provinces ;
we should rather say, the executioner. It is
Austria that indicted sixty capital punishments at
Ancona alone in the space of seven years, in the
name of the Pi .PE. Even when Austria has been
absent in the flesh she has been present in the
spirit, through the medium of Swiss and Bavarian
niercenaries. It is Austria that has personified
" international rights" in the States of the Church,
except when and where France--her eternal rival
in the good graces of the Church—has taken
her place. At this moment the brilliant
Algerme devotee and renegade, of whose renown
the &rue des Dees Maeda is most disinte-
restedly jealous, commands some 18,000 merce-
naries, of whom nearly two-thirds are Austrians
under another name. And these are the guardians
of " international rights," as rights are interpreted
by the Pore's apostles of murder and pillage, and
approved by the " Powers " to whom murder and
pillage are among the recognised resources of regu-
lar govern m.. rots. If it were Fallible for Englishmen
to imagine the midland counties garrisoned by Ger-
man calories, and given up to sack and murder every
now and then for the encouragement of the soldiery, '
we might conceive the force of the petition to
Estuszt. et from the populations of Um-
bria and the Marches. They ask for the commonest
guarantees of • civilized society ; safety to life
and property ; and some sort of administration of
justice. Agriculture, commerce, manufactures,
are the wildest dreams under a Government which
makes a wilderness of what nature had made a
granary and a garden; which punishes with prison
and death the exercise of human reason, turns
thieves said murderers loose on the frontiers of
neighbouring states, tolerates crime and en-
courages ber„ary. It is to establish "civil order"
in the• States of the Church, to give to the people
the right of thought and speech, to free them
from hordes of foreign adventurers, to shield them
from the tender mercies of Algerine warfare, that
the Emg elect of Irate orders the advance of an'
Italian army.

It is the fashion to complain of the ambiguous
utterances of Sovereigns. The proclamation of
King VICTOR EnaIANUEL is scarcely royal in
this respect. It would be difficult to sur-
pass it in outspoken energy and simplicity—an
iuexpiable sin in the sight of diplomacy ! Royal
'o the ancient sense, is the calm disdain
of the ,enterw.•: tr. which the KING declares that it
is out to revenge injuries rind insults to himself
mnl t • Italy, bat to stand between the oppressors
and the fury of the people ; to teach the subjects

would fain have purchased from fanatical conspi-

ambition whereof he is accused : to re-establish
moral order in Italy, and to preserve Europe from
constant danger of revolution and war. It is a
war undertaken for such a cause as this that
makes ambition virtue. All England at least
(whatever may be the language of her statesmen)
—we do not say Protestant, but Christian, liberal
England—will pray for the safe deliverance of
Italy, and the speedy and decisive victory of her
chosen King. If that war be holy in which the
dearest interests of humanity and civilization are
at stake, this is indeed a holy war. Happily the
issue is not doubtful if Italy alone decide it.
Hemmed in on all sides by insurgent populations,
and by the forces of emancipated States, powerless
at sea, it is only by one of those miracles of which
even Loretto has lost the secret that LAMORICIZRE
can hope to lay his votive offerings at the shrine
of Notre Dame des Victoires. Nor do we for an
instant imagine that the French nation will feel
wounded in its honour if a renegade who was once

'Melon, where her Majesty will alight, and proceed iu one
of her own carriages to Holyrood. On Monday sveuiug
the route will be over the North British Railway from St.
Margaret's station to Slateford, where the territory of the
Caledonian line, extending thenceforward to the border
city of Carlisle. is entered upon. At Carlisle the London
end North Western line commences, and runs forward a
distance of nearly 200 miles to the Eushbury junction
of the West Midland Railway, over which the royal train
will men on to the low level station of the Great Western
Railway at Wolverhampton, from which place to Basing.
stoke the narrow gauge line of the " Broad Gauze Com-
pany" will be traversed. From Basingstoke to Gosport

Railway.

The following is an epitome of the royal timo•table front
Aboyne to Gosport:

The Queen will commeneeler railway journey at .tbovne,
at noon on Saturday, and arrive at the city of Aberdeen at
1.15 p.m. After a lapse of fivo minutes, the train will
move on ten iudes to Stonebaven, where her Majesty will
alight and partake of luncheon, for which half an hour
Is allowed. Starting from Stonehaven at 2.17 p.m., her
Majesty will arrive at Forfar at 3.28 p.m. After four
minutes' delay the %min will resume it• progress to Perth,
which city her Majesty will reach at 4.30 p.m. Here five
minutes are allowed before reseeding forward to Urban,
where the train is timed to arrive at 5.30 p.m. From Lar-
bert to Edinburgh the journey will occupy 58 minutes,
making a total of 192 miles performed in rather kw than
its bows, exclusive of stoppages.

Her Majesty will remain' at Holyrood during Sunday and
Monday nett.

On the evening of the latter day the Queen will resume
her progress southward., leaving the St. Margaret station
at &45 p.m., and arriving at Abington, on the Calenouian
Rae, whore the first stoppage will be made to take in water,
at 8.4 p.m. From Abington to the city of Carlisle tbe
journey will be made without stoppage, the royal train
arriving at the central station at 9.45 p.m. There will be
ten minute.' delay hers for the service of tea and coffee in
the train to the royal travellers. Again in motiou, the
journey will he continued from Carlisle to Map without
stoppage. At the latter place the engine will take
in water, and then run forward to Lancaster, at which
royal borough the Queen is timed to arrive at five minutes
before midnight. From Lancaster to Preston time will
be no stoppage, and from Preston to Whitmore the
journey will also be uninterrupted. At Stafford, where
the royal train will arrive at 2.45 a.m., the engines will
be changed. The royal train will not stop at Bushbury,
bat will pans slowly through the junctiou of the West
Midland Railway, and proceed over that line to the low level
station at Wolverhampton, where a stoppage of five minutes
will occur. Thenceforward to Leamington the journey
will be run in 62 minutes, and to Banbury in 30 minutes
more. From Banbury the royal train will proceed direct
to the city of Oxford, where it is timed to arrive at 5.95
p.m. Here five minute' are allowed ; and, again in motion,
no further stoppage will take place until the Queen arrives
at the Bsaing'toho junction of the South-Western Railway,
over which her Majesty will travel, as usual, without any
interruption to Bialmpatoke, and thence to Gosport, arriving
at the latter plain at live minutes to eight o'clock on Tues-
day morning.

Ity the adoption of this line there is a easing of distance
of ;wt miles as soutraireil with the King's-cress route in the
journey between Edinburgh and Gosport, sod it is equally

THE ALLEGED 00.ILLITIOIF-AGAINST
FRANCE.
VIENNA., am 12.
The statement of the Nord that Austria, Prussia,
and England had concluded an arrangement, is
three points, directed against France, is tot*
unfounded, in so far as it concerns Austria,

THE POSITION OF AUSTRIA.
TILLESTE, iftri. 12.
According to the most authentic information,
the Austrian government had decided upon re-
fusing to receive the Neapolitan fleet should the
King of Naples have intended to send it to an
Austrian port.
In official quarters little fear is entertained of an
outbreak in Dalmatia.
As regards Croatia, its Bishop, who is a member
of the Reichsrath, has already declared that the
Croats will not in any way separate their cause
from that of Hungary.
The Austrian government thinks that, if an
understanding could be brought about with the
latter, there would be nothing to fear from Croatia.

FRANCE.
PARIS, TRUILSDAY.

The Moniteur contains the following :
" Their Majesties have arrived at Nice where
they met with an enthusiastic reception. The
health of their Majesties continues excellent."
The Moniteur abbe says :
" The 62nd and the 67th regiments of the line
have been despatched to Rome. The French
garrison having been thus increased General Guyon
has received orders tc return to his post."
The Preece says :
" It is asserted that a telegram has been received
here stating that the King of Naples had em-
barked at Gaeta for Spain."

FRANCE AND SWITZERLAND.
BERNY, Stn. 12.
Up to the present moment the Federal Council
has not, either directly or indirectly, received any
invitation from France to draw up the conditions
for a direct arrangement of the differences on the
Savoy question.
The Federal Council, through the medium of its
diplomatic agents, has recently informed France,
as well as the other Powers which signed the
treaty of 181 b, that to guarantee efficaciously the
neutrality of Switzerland it would bo indispensable
to exact two things :
1. That the Simplon road, henceforth open to
France, should be properly protected.
2. That the Lake of Geneva should be separated
from the French frontiers by a portion of laud of
about two hours' march in breadth.
In reply to these overtures the cabinet of the
Tuileries has withdrawn its former concessions,
declaring that it would not cede either an inch of
territory or a single inhabitant of Savoy.
In this state of affairs any direct arrangement
between Switzerland and France is impossible.
Having received the report of the Swiss represen-
tatives at Paris, Loudon, and Turin, who are now
here, the Federal Council persists more than ever
iu considering this affair as a question of European
onler, reserved for the competency of the powers
which signed the final act of Vienna.

ITALY AND THE EUROPEAN POWERS.
TURIN, WEDIfTBDAY.
Count Cavour has remitted a note to M. Thouve-
nel explaining the new attitude of Sardinia.
The representations made by &mei& and Prussia
at Turin were very strongly expressed. It is, how-
ever, certain that those powers will take no other
step against the entry of Sardinian troops into the
States of the Church.
