LONDON. 841T172D47, JAN. 7.

Tnr satisfaction with which the Liberal Party
throughout Swops are disposed to regard the shear
which, after having been discussed for a week ea tea
day., has now taken place in the French Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, arises from no exaggerated esti-
mate of the retrograde influence exerted by M.
WaLswaxt, or any blind belief in the tendencies and
talent of M. DE Toonvx.vrt. It is well understood
by all that in the chief resolves of his past policy,
NAroLtunlll. has been his own minister; but it is
also manifest that the REIPIIOI does not affect to be
beyond advice, sad that, like his uncle, be fre-
quently allows the come of affairs to be modified
by the counsels of these in whom he confides. Every
now and then, indeed, events seem to call for the
exertion of an over-ruling will ; and in such cases
he can be as peremptory as he has been compliant
No man enjoyed more of his confident). than M.
WALllWtikl,and no man was suffered merafrequently
to parley with the Imperial will. Irritable, vain,
and narrow, it is difficult to understand how a
mind like his could acquire the influence it appeared
toe:cosies over that of his =impulsive master. Bat
so it was; and u year by year habits of power,
indulgence, and association with the established
anthorities of Christendom, warped the worldly
politician more and more from the popular principles
he had once professed, the diplomacy of France
drifted gradually bat steadily further and farther
out of the track which at the inauguration of the
Enipile was assigned to it. IVas it some
loner conecioesness that told the restorer
of the Imperial system that the time had come when
he must take the helm out of the hand that held it,
and put the ship's head about, before he confided it
to another? It is not the first time that we have
men something of the kind done, and done effectually,
A Government which professes to rest on the swat
of millions has foe its self-preservation the law
which is said to have prompted the giant of old,
when wearied or worn in his tussling* with fate, to
re-:ouch the earth whence he sprang. The policy
laid down in the farsoos pamphlet, "Le Pape et le
Cougres„" wee in direct and notorious opposition to
M. W tLEWSKI'S opinions and ideas, and the cirentn-
stances aimitted no compromise. The pamphlet
hat beta too successful both at home and abroad to
be given up ; the support of France, the friendship
of &wand, the applease of enlightened men in all
countries are worth more to Louis NAPOLEON than
the services of the ablest Minister, and accordingly
M. WALE‘SET retires.

Until the newly appointed Minister shall have
had time to prove the fitness and wisdom of hie
master's choice, it would be premature to com-
pare him with the distinguished men who have
within our own recollection haw that omens
and reeponmble post. He may not be a Mow
gnus of the salons like M. Di CHATIADDILIIIID.
• rhetorician of the pen like M. Tmlass, a pea-
ce:wirer of the populaces like M. DI LieutTINII,
or an austere bourgeois tactieisa like M. OVUM.
But • clever and experienced mat we know him
to be ; and if he be an basset and a firm
man, be may do more, perhaps, than any other in
Europe to preserve the pesos of the world. This is
assuredly the abiding interest al his country and of
the dynasty he serves. It is certainly tho interest
of Ragland, and it is incontestably the desire of al
that is best and wisest among the people es both
sides of the Channel. W. should be ashamed to
disguise our wish to be well with Fromm. If am
hope that the new Imperial Minister for Folio

pereusies pat the. me policy for England and
for France is in essential things the same, that
we are frankly content to adjure the rulers
of the latter to consult only what is for the
lasting boseur and weal of times they govern
The people of France have a genuine sympathy for
Italy, and a sabstantial interest la its regeneration.
So have we; and if so, wise shell forbid our co-ope-
ratics by all legitimate mesa. fa that best of good
works? If in times past M. DI THOUVINIL has been
supposed to have takea a part in diplomacy
adverse to that panned by this or the other
English statesman, so mach the better for
the time to come. He will antic upon his new
field of duty all the more free from any auspieres,
on the part of his own countrymen, that he is apt to
be swayed by English counsel.. He would be a very
unfit man for his arduous position, if he scald be so
inflamed; and miserable reliance it walla be foe
as te rest upon. We want and wish nothing of the
kind. Our sole desire is to act cordially with our
neighbours whenever we can act in concert with
them 5.4 all, and when that is impossible, to take our
divers paths apart without mutual suspicion of each
other's purpose. On the great and absorbing gump-
tion of the day we are in principle agreed, and
even about details we cannot very widelydiffer. We
claim for the people of Italy the unqualified right
to be ruled by whom they will. Let the two nations
solemnly agree to forbid all foreign interference on
the part of others as unconditionally as they repu-
diated it on their own. Italy wants no other help;
the rest she will do for herself. Such a declaration
would, we believe, be readily acquiesced in by all
the principal Powers of the Continent ; but for us
that is a secondary consideration. Congress or no
Congress the fats of Italy would thenceforth be
deserted ; she would then virtually be free,
sad the danger of a renewal of war in Italy would
be pest.

But there are those who would argue that because
we have lately been burnishing our defensive armour,
and mastering our youth to the practice ground,
oar dignity requires that we should refuse all ad-
vances made by France, and nourish a temper of
distrust. We take precisely the opposite view. All
that we have been doing in the way of national
defence daring the past year would be sorrow-
ful work indeed, if it did not enable as
when done to reining with bolder hand sad
higher heart than ever our old place as the friends of
the free among the nations. It is just becalm, as
a result of the efforts we have made and are
making, we 01111 sleep securely at home, that our step
ought to be firmer and more elastic abroad.
We don't mean to relax in our domestic drill because
we are asked to go a day's journey is the militarism.
at diplomacy with a neighbour whom we fancied we
had seen looking over oar wall. There are no gape
in the wall now, and there are plenty of stout hearts
behind It to keep all safe. We can consequently
set with all the more decision. In unison with
Francs and Sardinia, moral courage is that alone
we shall ever be called upon to exercise. Austria
is in no condition to hazard another col-
lision in the field, unless supported by its
former confederates in oppression f and these are
sookinedly is me mind at present to meddle in so
hopeless a cause. Prussia, let us hope, has finally
and for ever come out of the Babylon of despotism,
and will daily show less and lees inclination to be
lured back to it again. Russia has other work OR
hand than crawling for the defence of the Lath'
Church or the restoration of Bourbon thrones,
and Russia will not stir. What pretext
or excuse is there, thou, for refusing to aclmewledy
as a fact what everybody knows to be tree, namely,
that the people of Control Italy, like air own fore-
fathers at the Revolution of 1688, have cast forth
their incorrigible oppressors, and are now the loyal
and peaceable subjects of a constitutional state?
They ask not for our treasure or our arms: they ask
only for our recognition as younger brethren in
freedom. Can we any longer withhold It P
