LONDON, MONDAY, NOV. 5.

W a do but anticipate the verdict of history in
pronouncing the despatch of Lord JOHN Resent,
which appeared in our columns on Saturday,
one of the most important ever larded from the
Foreign-office of this country. It appears at a
momentous crisis, not only in the affairs d Italy
but in the history of Europe, and is equal to the
oceenon. It deals with a cause which has
elicited an unexampled amount of sympathy and
support amongst all classes in this country, and it
faithfully interprets the national sentiment. It
diaconal a question second in importance to none
that has come before the Powers of Europe since
the days of Cliaatintafies, and it decides it by an
open appeal to those great principles of justice and
law which are the absolute tests and only legiti-
mate basis of sovereign power. The value of
its declarations appearing at such a moment can-
not be overrated. It is impoenble to read them
without feeling that their moral influence for good,
both at home and abroad, will be incalculable. Such
a frank and courageous manifestation of policy
must surely clear the air of the dark rumours and
suspicions that had filled it for weeks pest. It vindi-
cates the foreign policy of the Britt& Government
in the most decisive manner. No stronger proof
could be offered or desired of the firmness and
consistency of the present Cabinet in adhering to
the liberal principles they have all along professed.
The Italian cause has just reached the crisis of
difficulty which tests the real value of friendly pro-
fessions, and the FOREIGN SECRETARY of England
selects the moment for publicly inserting in the
most emphatic manner the principles on which its
justification depends. Such energetic moral sup-
port is of more value to Italy just now
than any material aid that could be offered. While
it will dishearten her enemies and bring their
divided councils to nought, it will animate the
confidence and strengthen the handsof her friends.
The question of • Congress will scarcely be agi-
tated now. After such a declaration of policy on
the pert of Great Britain any such meeting of the
Great Powers would be futile and superfluous.
But the wider and remote influence of Lord Jons
Ruessa.t's despatch will be quite as important as
its more immediate results. It is a great public
gain to the cause of constitutional freedom and
good government throughout the world. It places
this country in its true position as the foremost and
faithful representative of a liberal foreign policy.
And it will thus revive the hopes and sustain the
efforts of the frianda of liberty and order, of en-
lightened statesmen and true patriots, in every
country in Europe.
The value of the note, great at any time,
is increased tenfold by the speciel circum-
stances under which it is made. This despatch
was written and sent off at the very crisis—
the supreme moment of interest and difficulty—
in the affairs of Italy. It was still a question
as to what Russia would do, and whether Aus-
tria might not at the last moment interfere. The
Imperial conspirators have been at Warsaw plotting
in the interests of their order against the rising
nationality of the south. The Emperor of the
Falsca has just determined to prolong the con-
test by arresting the action of the Sardinian fleet
before Gaeta, having already recalled his Ambas-
sador from the Court of Turin, and censured the
active interference of the Euro on behalf of
Southern Italy. At this moment the Foaztoir
SECRETARY of England speaks in a voice not to be
mistaken. He thinks it just to the people of
Italy, and respectful to the other Great Powers of
Europe, that the views of the English Government
should be clearly announced. He writes a
despatch justifying the Italian movement,
and supporting the Monarch the nation had
chosen as their Bing. This was a generous and
courageous act worthy of an English statesman,
worthy the government of • free people. Lord
Joule Ressrit's despatch places the truly national
sod independent policy of this country in striking
contrast to the open or covert hostility of the dime
Great Powers. The Italians will now know who are
their friends and who are their foes. It was
a question whether the disinterested moral support
of England war not more valuable to Italy during
last year's campaign than the mercenary help of
France. But during the present campaign there
can be no question whatever as to which of the
Great Powers has given the most direct and power-
ful assistance to the Italians. In proportion as
they have shown themselves fit for freedom and
marital+ to secure it, the support of the English
Government has been sincere and strong, while
just in the seine proportion has the conduct
of France been tortuous and sinister. The con-
trast of policy is now complete. Free peoples
seek to ritelid the blessings of freedom, while
despotic rulers, democratic or hereditary, seek their
own ends. Lord Joey Rtuzu. incidentally
marks this distinction in 'the concluding para.
graph of his &spat.. h. He toms (rum the hostile
policy of despots rulers to the true friends of free-
dom—to the cii!iglitened public opinion of Europa
The four Great Powers have severely cousured the
acts of the King of SARDINIA. Her MAJESTY'S
Government see no sufficient ground for these
censures, and turn from them to the more gratify-
ing prospect of a people building up the edifies of
their liberty, and consolidating the work of their
independence " *mid the sympathies awl good
" wishes of Europe."

Tut repc,rta of the condition of industry
and of profits in the cotton manufacturing
&atria., continue highly favourable. Wears.
RUIMIT Bateutrit and BROTH= report that " the

" trade is not

" material," yet they admit that "both spinner
" and manufacturers are doing well." 'nay ap-
pear, indeed, to be doing much better than the
shippers to the Western markets, for some of the
recent accounts from India report large sales of
goods at " ruinous" prices compared with the
cost Nome months ago, and even much under the
rates Dow current here. It is very remarkable
that in face of these accounts, and of the unsettled
condition of another great market—that in China
—many of our most extensive spinners and manu-
facturers are deeply engaged upon orders which
will occupy them until the end of the year.
During the last week the Manchester market has
been quiet, owing to the delay in the arrival of
the Pastern mail, but advanced prices are demanded
to cover the rise in the price of the raw material.
. .

From the other seats of trade a steady business
continues to be reported, and there appears gene-
rally to be plenty of employment. At Bradford
some machinery has been stopped, but the woollen
manufacturers and spinners in moat quarters are
fairly engaged upon old orders. The hosiery trade
continues to improve. In the iron and hardware
districts there is no animation, but the amount of
business i not below the recent average. The coal
trade is decidedly brisk.
In each department of manufacture the successive
steps towards the elaboration of the new French
tariff are watched with great interest. The depu-
tation sent to Paris by the woollen manufacturers
have reported progress at a public meeting. They
communicate the satisfactory autumn that
woollens and all fabrics in which wool predomi-
nates will probably be admitted into Frame at a
duty of 15 per cent, which will be reduced in
1864 to 10 per cent. It is likewise probable
that the date for the treaty to come into operation
will be anticipated by imperial decree. The de-
putation have, moreover, brought back an explicit
111111111,4100 from Mr. COBDEN that the treaty, when
completed, will be a " most complete and perfect"
one. What more can be ; desired ? The French
tariff for iron and hardwares, having been officially
promulgated, has been closely examined in the
district& interested. It baa been received in no
captions epirit. The Midland Counties Herald
anticipates " a large trade with France
"in goods manufactured by us," seeing that, in
many particulars, the revised French tariff is
more favourable than that of the United States.
The duties on goods manufactured in Birmingham
and the neighbourhood are considered to amount,
upon the average, to about 12} per cent. ; but as
an important set-off against this weightsimposed
upon our manufacturers in the race with those of

frame, we excel in many impodent particulars,
since we powers cheaper coal, iron, better
machinery, and a Wier supply of skilled labour.
The Wolverhampton dhronicle delivers its opinion
to the effect that "upon the whole the details of
" the new tariff are more favourable than could
" have been expected."

LORD JOHN ROSSELL'S DESPATCH.

PARIE, &MAT EVEITIXQ.
The Pays says to-night, under the striking head
of "Latest News" :

In order that there may be no mistake as to the chancier
and Import of the instructions given to Admiral LebarlAer
de Than on the subject of an attack upon Gaeta from the
sea, we repeat from certain information that the order re-
ceived by the admiral warn dictated by a sentiment of deli-
cacy (haute conveaance) and humanity. It was wished to
save the chateau in which the entire soya family is living
from a bombardment, and, above all, it was desired to pre-
vent the Bing of Naples from being made prisoner by his
own subjects.

If there are yet any writers in England who
I deny the fact of the French intervention, we may
now exclaim, "What need we of any further wit-
ness ?" It stands admitted that all the reasons put
forward to explain the action of the French ad-
miral as being founded upon the non-recognition
of the blockade are futile. This pretext being laid
aside, we find the organs of Napoleon 111. attempt-
ing to justify his Majesty's anomalous interference
on grounds of spurious and maudlin " humanity."
The King of Naples' " young wife " and his family
—the " youth " of many of whom we are reminded
of—are, no doubt, interesting personages, and no-
body wishes them any harm. We are told that
they " will not " leave the King, and that they
' would be in great danger if Gaeta were to be bom-
barded from the sea Their position is, of course,
very distressing, but it is a poor reason, indeed, to
allege for an interference not otherwise justified
with the stern necessities of war. Why should
the effects of their own obstinacy and
infatuation, and the want of firmness of
Francis IL, who ought long since to have sent
them away,be accepted as a plea for conduct on the
part of a third power which causes the sacrifice of
hundreds and perhaps thousands of brave soldiers
of both armies, who have no choice but to do their
duty. While I am writing the news comes by
telegraph of a glorious and probably decisive, but
no doubt bloody victory, gained byjthe Sardinian
General Sonnas over the garrison of Gaeta. The
place will probably capitulate and the King will
take to flight before many hours, but a more
shocking and unnecessary waste of human life was
never known, and it will be very difficult to
exonerate the sentimental humanity of the French
Emperor from at least a part of the responaibilityfor
it. The King of Naples, who knows that he cannot
stand by his own strength, shuts his eyes to the
fact that he is reaping the fruit of miegovernment
which be inherited from his father, and clings des-
perately to the wild hope that some of the powers
of Europe are going to help him for the sake of the
monarchical principle imperilled in his person. A
protest from him—which, I am told, is new,
although I recognise in it nothing which has not
appeared under his signature before—is printed,
wherein he solemnly repeats his warning to all
sovereigns, that with him will fall "all the rights,
all the laws, and all the principles upon which the
independence and safety of nations depend." This
desperate attempt to make out a ease of " soli-
darity " reminds me forcibly of a letter in verse
from a city conservative, which appeared in Punch
some years ago, and wherein, apropos of a reform
in the Lord Mayor's show, it was pathetically
averred that--

The ['rem observes on the news of the day that it
is more favourable for the cause of Italy than any
that has been received for a long time, and it dwells
particularly upon the importance of Lord John
Russell's lust despatch to Sir J. Hudson. It cites •
oa-respondence from Vienna, speaking of negotia-
tions through M. de 3letternich for a " peaceable
solution of the Venetian question," which can only
refer to a project for the cession of Venice by
Austria to Victor Emmanuel for a money
consideration.

It is remarked that, according to the recent
news from Venice, the Austrians have suddenly
ceased to sond troops and ammunition towards the
Lombard frontier.

With reference to the telegrams reporting the
last victory of Victor Emmanuel's arms, I have
heard the suggestion that the "Mole" of Gaeta,
which is spoken of as a commanding position, may
possibly mean only Mola di Gaeta, a village of no
importance, about three miles from the place.
A leading article in the Patric insists strongly
upon the necessity both of augmenting the French
army in Syria to a larger force, and prolonging its
occupation for a. longer term than is limited by
treaty. It hopes for the " support of Europe," in
spite of the jealousy of "some political men" in
England.
The trial of M. Charles Monselet and M. Thio-
dore Barriere, for fighting a duel, came on yester-
day ; and the public prosecutor having recom-
mended leniency, it resulted in the two defendants
being sentenced to the trifling fines of 200 fr. and
100 fr. I have already said, in reference to this
very case, that the administration of the French
law with regard to duelling is capricious ; the
present decision has no tendency to establish
certainty.
PARIS, SATURDAY EVINING.
The legitimists, Jesuits, and amateur lovers of
despotism, who form a section of the multitudinous
society of Paris, arenow reduced to rest their hopes
of the restoration of Francis 11. upon General
Bosco, who has been living quietly for several
weeks at the Hotel de Bade, on the Boulevards des
Italians. It seems that Garibaldi, when he gave
Bosco his liberty on parole, was so sanguine, that
he only exacted from him a promise not to serve
the King of Naples before November 13. We are
now very near to that day, and the faithful Bosco,
whose constancy everyone must admire, promises to
be at Gaeta at the first moment of the appointed
time. According to present appearances he will
find that Garibaldi's calculation although very
close, was not mistaken ; but at events he will
only arrive soon enough to show his devotion to a
lost cause.

Prinoe Napoleon's mission on &voyage round the
world is said to be indefinitely postponed.
At the Bourse the Rente was extremely firm and
closed with a rise of 200., at 69.45 for oath and
69.50 for account. Mobilier rose 6.25. Railways
were comparatively unaffected by the movement on
the Rente. The Southern line rose 8.75, but all
the others were a shade lower than yesterday.
The want of money which prompted the govern-
ment to brave the unpopularity which it must have
known it would encounter by raising the price of
tobacco, has not prevented the Minister of Public
Instruction from making • strenuous demonstra-
tion against smoking in schools. He bears that
many lads smoke as many as eight or ten cigars •
day, and gives it as his opinion that their physical
