is itself incomplete. That the matters still undeter-
mined are ofgreat importance may be inferred from
the anxiety of the Austrian Government to exclude
neutrals from all participation in their arrangement.
" Them will, then can, there must be so emigres',"
is the berthen of all correspondence from Vienna.
On the other hand, we learn on indubitable autho-
rity that the EMPEROR most (*meetly dealt* the

met of Queen Vicroarc to complete the work of
peace. How is this appeal to be answered ?
The bases of peace agreed upon by the two EPP
pawls at Villafraoea involve arrangement, of three
kinds —The transfer of populations to new rulers,
the redistribution of territories, and the formation of
a national oonetitution for Italy. The two first of
these points are offered to us in a definite, fixed,
and rigid form. We must either take them
or leave them ; it is only in the last, that
which concerns the formation of an Italian Con-
federation, that our good intentions and codes-
man could find scope. " The Princes of 'WWI NY
" and MODENA Will return to their dominions,"
is one of the terms of the pesos. To
conceive what the restoration of the Greed
Duke of TUSCANY and the Duke of MODENA
would be, one may imagine what would have been
the restoration of JAYS/ IL after the " Gloried

Revolution "of 1688. The Hereditary Prince et
TUSCANY and the Duke of MODENA have been be
the Austrian camp, one of them in command of a
regiment, and the other in the suite of the EMERIOII,
heel the day they abandoned their States. They
have passed the time in intriguing, protesting, fight-
ing against their people. The Tuscan, after seed-
ing an army against them and their allies, have
solemnly deposed their Prince, and declared hia
dynasty incapable of reigning. Their ambassador is
at this moment on his way to Paris, to protest
against his re-instatement by the aid of France.
IVe should think oar duty is clear in the matter.
We h►ve done nothing for the Tuscan cause hitherto.
and why at the eleventh hour should we rush for-
ward to take part in an arrangement foe delivering
them over to a dynasty they abhor?
We believe that all Englishmen, whether Whip,
Tories, or Radicals, anti-Gallican or friendly to
Austria, have only one wish for Italy, the wish
that by some means or other her children could get
the management of their own affairs and live in
peace. We do cot want to settle who shall govern
Modena : that is neither our badness nor that of the
Emperor of the FRENCH. We all thought it was
the persistence of FRANCIS Jour!' in interfering
with matters that did not concern him that led to the
per. The war is over; in its progress Princes have
loot the throws, and it is now proposed by NAPO-
LION lIL to repeat the wrong he has just chetised•

It is for the Emperor of the Farricw to consider
whether there is not something indecent in closing
the victorious campaign of a war of Liberation by
imposing anti-national sovereigns on their reluctant
people, and whether the elect of eight millirem
