LONDON, SATURDAY, 00! 10.

TO-DAY the Cabinet Council aussentim again for
the first time after the general sutures dispersion.
It does not meet too soon. Happily no domestic
distress claims its attention. There is no great
derangement of commerce, no letter to be written
to the Governor of the Bank. The nation is
tranquil and busy, and its internal affairs never
made less exacting demands on its rulers. It is
with reference to our foreign concerns that the
reunion of her DlAJterre's Ministers is moat timely.
S IWU they last sat together round the council
table the aspect of continental affairs has
been in soave important respects altered.
We have seen bold resolutions taken and
hardy enterprises carried out in Italy. The
King of NAPLES has lost his crown and the
Pori: half his temporal dominions, and what they
have lost the cause of order and constitutional
freedom has gained. Other Powers have frowned
on the Italian Government, which more or less
directly effected these changes, but we have not
recalled an ambassador or registered • pro-
test : as far as the public is informed, the
bearing of our Ministers towards these un-
dertakings has been conformable to that of the
nation. But side 17 aide with these achieve-
ments, we have seen the Courts of Central
and Northern Europe, the declared enemies of the
great and happy transformation going on in the
south of the Continent, drawing closer together
and threatening no longer to acquiesce passively in
changes which we in commou with the whole world
applaud. At this moment, from Berlin, Vienna,
and St. Petersburg, Kings and Emperors long
estranged are hurrying to shake hands over the
g aye .-f a murdered State and form new
plots against the growing order and liberty of Italy.
Under any circumstances we could not he indif-
ferent to this spectacle. But occurrences are taking
place to bring out our interest in it in • stronger
light. It is a part of the strategy of the despotic
continental Courts artfully to connect the revival
of their hopes, no matter how, with the policy of
the British Government. The usages of our
secretive diplomacy favour their design and enable
any foreign Court to misrepresent that policy by a
one-sided publication of despatches. It would be
idle to pretend that these causes have not been at
work to unsettle the public mind in this country,
and to make it exceedingly anxious to know
precisely how we stand with Austria and how with
Italy at the present moment. The Cabinet
cannot be indifferent to this universal feeling,
which will not be diminished by an event
we have now to announce. The Russian Govern-
ment has at length actually taken the step which
had been prematurely ascribed to it, and has
broken off diplomatic relations with the Court of
Turin. This is, of course, the most signal and
emphatic demonstration which the Cue could
make of his displeasure without actually declaring
war.

rt is most important that in this crisis the Euro-
pean policy of England, and especially its Italian
policy, should be at once decisive and manifest.
There are some points, indeed, of that policy on
which no doubt (MOT ought to have been cast. The
otfieial /mission Guietle has told us that the cor-
dial relations between England and Prussia have
taken deeper root, and acquired increased firm-
ness and extension, as a result of the inter-
view at Coblentz. We are none of us sorry to
heat it. But if any persons infer from this lan-
guage that England has entered into any agree-
ment with the Northern Powers, or has shown a
readiness to join them against Italy, they entirely
and unaccountably mistake the facts. Noexchange
of " agreeable pledges" of this kind is in questiou.
That is not the danger.
Nothing that the organs of foreign Courts might
say could excite the distrust of Englishmen, had
they not been able to appeal to some most unfortu-
nate i..pressions in Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S despatch
to Sir JANIE% Hunsoe. The author of that corn-
minneatien lay under the great disadvantage of
having it read in the light reflected by a set of cir-
cumstances wholly different from those in view of
which it was composed. Looking at the excited
state of feeling in Italy at the end of !sot August,
and the temptation to an overweening estimate
of the resources and power of Italy arising from
tit/tins LneA rapid successes, we can neter hold
that it was not a else and friendly act on the part
of our En.dish Mirister to warn the Piedmontese
flovernment in dear language against the danger
to Italian independence which was to be appre-
hendA from au attack on Venice. We said this
three weeks ago, well knowing that many warm
friends of Italy would read it with displeasure, and
we repeat it. Fairly considered, Lord JOHN RUM
MELL'4 despatch means no more flue' this :—" Do not
" piirrnit yourself to be carried away by the prevail-
" it's excitement to engage luau enterprise to which
" yea are not equal ; do not again assume a depen-
" dent position. Let Italy become great through
" the valour of her children, and not prize aggran-
" ilieement bought by cessions of Italian tern-
" terry." As friends of Italy we bad a Meld to
gir • this advice. As a European Power we had
a right to enforce it, from considerations drawn
