PARIS, TEVAIDAT WINING.

The following paragraph appears in the Pattie:

Lord Cowley's ;vertu re for VitWea hes bees tie 'abject
of much discussion both yesterday aid to-day. Public %l-
akes attaches great importanes to this journey, mid, as we
think, rightly so. Without wishing to exaggerate the Its-
permute, or veutoriog tr antielente the summit of Lord Caw-
ley'. solosiew, we comet but consider it at Miliciatire of a
tentlesey ea the part of the British cabinet ti rally to the
policy tithe Tuileries. For our own pert we hem never
detailed of this understanding, which responis to all the
priaelpies mad all the interests upon which the Inglieh
anima b bred. Nothing could be more desirable or mom
logical then that this alliance should protect la Italy incl.
Hones, the independence of peoples, and to. pesos ti &t-
-rope, me it hem protreed therm in the Best and throughout
the world.

I consider this assumption, that Lord Cowley is
oommimioned to support the policy which has spread
eoesternation in Europe ever since New Year's-day,
as as impudent assertion of a known falsehood,
destined to deceive members of the English parlia-
ment on Friday. The instructions sent to the pro-
vinedel papers are oonceived in a widely different
spirit. They are ordered to sneer at Lord Cowley's
minims, and to prognosticate that nothing will come
of it. Without being in the secrets of diplomacy, I
I think it may be safely conjectured that Lord
Cowley is essierissioned, not to persuade Austria to
abandon her Lombardo-Venetian possessions, which
are secured to her by the treaties of 1815, but
to relieve herself from the reproach under which she
now justly labours, of exercising iofaenos in other
parts of Italy, contrary to the spirit of those treaties.
She will, I doubt not, be advised to deprive Sardini►
and Frame of the pretext for aggression furnished
by the opposition of Austria to grievously needed
reforms in Rome and Naples. Should this mission
be successful, it rosy be productive of infinite good.
and may indeed prevent a breach of the pesos;
but the latter most desirable consummation

can only be effected by the abandonment by
the French Emperor of the main object of his
pamphlet, and the consequent disappointment of the
hopes which he has fomented in Turin and Milan.
It is quite plain, that at the present moment neither
the Sardinians nor the Milanese can a pin's point
about reforms in Rome or Naples. What they want,
and what they have been taught to expect, is that
Austria should be driven out of Italy altogether. It is
very certain that Lord Cowley has not gone to Vienna
to threaten the countenance of England to say

such selvsne, which, however desirable,coald ouly b.
effected by that very war which all the world, except
the Italian and a fraction of courtiers at the Tui-
leries, is agreed to deprecate as a certain calamity,
fraught with no rational prospect of good to the
ISM of freedom.

The following paragraph, in a Marseilles letter of
Fab. 21, is perhaps of no importaase, but in the
present state of things the question will naturally
be asked whether the movement of troops which it
notices is merely an isolated one, or whether it is
not the first step towards the execution of the
rumoured design of sending large reinforcements
to Rome:

A &Wilmot of the 25th regiment of Os Hoe, wadd-
ing of 1 officer sad 3do non-cotomteisoel Mem sod eol-

diem arrived bare from Arks this mor;isig, ma at 4 in the

;, 1859.

The Indipendortc. and Nord were both seized
01. day ; the Dear News was 'delivered for the first
Mme this week.

The Bourse was greatly agitated all day, and vio-
lent duetuations took place. Lord Cowley's mission
was the great subject of discussion. Rumours were
frequently circulated in the course of the morning
that he had not left London, or that he was
not going to Vienna, and a fall of several
centimes frequently followed these reports. In the
result, however, a further considerable rise took
place. The Rente for account, after having been
done at 68fr. 30c., closed atl3Bfr. 65e., with a rise of
46c. For cash there was a rise of 410 e., the last
price being 88fr. 660. Mobilise roes 17fr. 50c. The
Orleans railway roes 7fr. 60c., and the other lines
from 2fr. 50c. to sfr.

It appears from the Muniteur that two members
of the Senate hare Toted against the addition of
28,0001. sterling a year to the dotation of the
imperial family. I shall record the names of these
heroes when I learn them.
