LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OM'. 31.

IT is really high time that Europe should have
some more authentic knowledge of the Italian
policy of the Emperor of the Ferrite than can be
collected from a newspaper article in a Paris
journal to which no responsibility of any kind
attaches. In • recent article of the Comfit's.-
ff0...,d, which has been received, as the French
Government must have desired that it should be
received, as an exposition of Imperial policy, the
EMPERoR is indeed made to acknowledge the
necuity to Europe of • powerfully organized
Hely. Now if anything in Italian affairs is clearer
than another, it is surely that that result
depends on the success of VI,TOR ERMANCIL in his
present career. To interfere with or to arrest that
career is, beyond all doubt, to throw obstacles to the
creation of that powerful kingdom of Italy, the
necessity of which the Vioietitetietinef informs
Europe has at last become a cardinal point in the
policy of the Emperor NAPOLEON. The popula-
tions of the Two Sicilies have chosen Vieroa ERIKA-
at EL as their Sovereign, with an unnanimity
greater than that to which Lot is NAPOLZON OHM
his election as Emperor of the French,
and there can be no earthly reason why, in 1860,
their choice should not be as valid, as binding,
and as much respected by other powers, as the
vote of the French people was in 1852.
this situation the land forces of Piedmont are
advancing to the Garigliano, and the sea forces
were preparing to enforce the surrender of Gaeta,
when suddenly and unexpectedly, without notice,
and in open disregard of the necessity
proclaimed by the Conetitetionnel, the Em-
peror of the FRENCH has placed four ships of the
line before Gaeta, with orders either to stop any
operations of Admiral Psaeseo, or, if unable
otherwise to arrest his proceedings, to sink the
Sardinian squadron if it dares to attack Gaeta. As
the brave Piedmontese Admiral is not prepared to
involve Italy in a war with France, he will not
attack I luta ; and the responsibility of there being
two Sovereigns in the Neapolitan States—one the
unanimous choice, the other the unanimous horror
of the population—rests with LOUTS NAPOLEON.
He it is who stands between the people of the Two
Sicilies and the execution of their will in the ex-
tinction of • detested and intolerable rule, a rule
which, in the very days of its prosperity, alarmed
the vested interests of absolutism by its gross and
dangerous excesses. That power which Russia and
Austria abandon, which even Spain has just de-
clared it will do nothing to help, the French
EMPEROR, for some inscrutable purpose, shields
with the forces entrusted to him by the nation.
The effect of his resolution is a positive increase of
the means of defending Gasta : it is equivalent to
a serious reinforcement of the Bourbon army,
since the whole force which would have been
required to man the sea front of the fortress
is now released, and made available to oppose
the national army. The intervention thus
effected is as clear and positive as if NAPOLEON
had landed 20,000 &wives to assist FRANCIS
It. And yet it is not a week since the
world was authoritatively assured that the
Emmen wee sternly resolved on non-intervention.
He could not, we were told, take part against Italy,
could not impose on Italy his domination after
having destroyed that of Austria, above all could
not employ military force to re-establish old
governments. The language of the Connitetionnel
was very emphatic. " What would Italyhave said?
" What would England have said 1 What would
" all Europe have said I They would have seen in
" the Peninsula thus protected a French Italy.
" And for whose benefit would the Extrema& have
" turned his anus against his old ally the King
"of SARDINI L, and put himself in fiegrant
" disagreement with England ? Why, for the
" benefit of governments which by their synapa-
" thies or by their confidence have no right to re-
" pure those sacrifices." Precisely so. As the
same se®-olticial writer in another place phrases
it, " The intervention of Franco against Pied-
" inont would be • contradiction." It is not our
busiie•se to reconcile the Exranos's contradictions.
We pereuiptorily decline all speculation as to Im-
perial motives, but looking at overt acts we have
a right to ask where is the uprightness and sincerity
which should mark the conduct of the French Go-
vernment! With the monstrous inconsistency of
this intervention before us, we repeat, it is high time
for Louis NAPOLIoN to declare authentically, and
without delay, what his policy as to Italy really is,
for Europe cannot and must not be allowed to
remain a victim to all this mystery and to these
repented surprises.

We are happy to learn that the conduct of the
PRIN. t await at Warsaw promoted an locroeithle
contrast to that of the French Emeritus. The
