LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL S.

LORD MALXISBCRT will find himself mistaken
if he imagines that the English people have lost all
interest in the question of our relations to Naples
aince Warr and PARE have been liberated; and that
he may now desert the Sardinian Government, and
cease to be " unamiable " in his language and
deportment towards the Government of Naples.
Due satisfaction has not been made by the Go-
vernment of Naples to the two innocent and out-
raged Englishmen who were captured on board the
Cagliari, or to the English nation, which was injured
and insulted in their persons. Al regards Warr
and PARZ the affair stands thos : They were illegally
arrested at first. They were treated during their
detonation with a wanton defiance of common huma-
nity, and even of Neapolitan law. They are, sr
regards the Government of Naples, innocent as the
babe unborn. Yet after an incarceration of nine
months, they are liberated, simply and solely because
the Government of Naples fears they might die in
its hands, and thus draw down upon it the wrath
and vengeance of England. The mental health of
the one, the bodily health of both has been under-
mined by their detention under Neapolitan gaolers.
They are mere wrecks of the men they were when
they fell into the power of the King of NAPLES and
his ruffianly Councillors and Bbirri. The Neapolitan
Government persists in refusing to recognise the
incontestable innocence of its victims ; it expresses no
regret for their unmerited sufferings; it offers
them no compensation ; it contemptuously flings
them back to the English Government, after
subjecting them for nine months to a living
death, as if it said: " There, take what re-
" mains of your Circa Romani : we have done
" everything to them our hatred of you could sag-
" gest, short of taking their lives, and we know you
" will not hare the spirit to complain of the manner
" in which we have treated, and are treating, theca
" and you."

From present appearances it would really appear
that Count Cansers and his royal master have
formed a pretty correct estimate of what they have
to expect from the present u from the late Govern-
ment of England. The violation of the Law of
Nations perpetrated by the Government of Naples.
in the seizure of the Cagliari and the detention of its
crew, was an insult and outrage both against Sar-
dinia and England. Sardinia and England had a
solidarity of interest in exacting reparation. The
whole tone and tenor of Count CA RAFFA'S corre-
spondence with the Sardinian Government shows
that the maltreatment of the crew of the Cagliari
(the English engineers included) was intended
to be the exaction of a paltry revenge
for 'the home truths addressed to it by the
Congress of Paris, at the request of Sardinia,
supported by England. The lawless torture of a
Genoese crew, with a couple of Englishmen among
them, had for the Neapolitan Government all the
zest of an affront offered by one act to the two
Powers whom it most hated. From the beginning
of the affair Count CAVOCR saw the matter in its
true light, and he acted throughout with dignity and
firmness, though without precipitation. Lord
CLARENDON, on the other hand, betrayed, as on every
other occasion, an invincible repugnance to a cordial
en-operation with Sardinia. That the negotiations
have been allowed to drag their slow length through
nine mortal months is owing to the somewhat more
than lukewarmness of Lord CLARENDON. This
the country is well aware of. For every
sin of omission or commission in this affair Lord
CLAREN IX./N is held responsible by the English
nation up to the moment of the appointment of Lord
DEIST'S Cabinet. But if the same shuffling course
is pursued by Lord CLASENDOR'd successor, that
noble Lord may rest assured that he will incur
the same amount of national indignation—that

be, too, will come to be regarded as an
impossible Minister ; for this is certain, that even
in the event of so deplorable a contingency as the
return of Lord PALMERSTON to office, it is next to
impossible that his lordship would venture to resters
Lord CLaax..vnox to the Foreign-office.
It is not without good reason that ws fear Lord
MALMISSORT contemplates pursuing the identical
course with regard to oar Italian relations that wee
panned by Lord CLARENDON. From the papers re-
lating to the case of the Cegliari which have been
printed with a view to their being submitted to
Parliament, and from which extracts will be found
elsewhere in our issue of this day, it is obvious that
Lord CLARENDON pushed on the Sardinian Govern-
ment to take the lead in the controversy with
Naples. This was done in such a manner as vir-
tually pledged England to-support Sardinia in the
affair of the Cagliari, in which the two Governments
had an equal hamlet. The Sardinian Government
had reason to believe that on this point it had an ex-
press promise of support from England. And we
regret to see that Lord MALMESBURT is now malting
preparations to put himself in a position to deny
that the English Government ever gave any such
promise. In the correspondence between the pre-
sent occupants of the English Foreign-office and Sir
JAMES Herrsom, a question is raised which can have
no other object. Sir Liars is charged, and appa-
rently with good reason, with having used stronger
language in his note to the Sardinian Government
than his instructions from Lord CLARENDON war-
ranted. We have no call upon us to be the apolo-
gists of Sir JAMES lit•Deorr. We know, indeed,
that in every other action of his prolonged residence
at Turin he has deported himself as became
a British stateimsn. Still we cannot deny that with
reference to the note in question his conduct was
unpardonably lax and careless. Had Lord CLAitlf-
DON remained is office, that noble lord, with his
well-known Austrian and generally despotic lean-
ings, might have bad good ground to complain of his
being compromised in the es es of the Courts whose
favour he has ever ambit ioned by Sir JAMES'S over-
sight. Bat what interest has Lord MALMLIBLJET id
raking op the story? Is he Preparing to walk
in Lord Cl.Aavrtiox's footsteps and to pay
court to Austria by snubbing the English envoy
Austria so hates, and dealing as leniently as possible
with the King of NAPLES, and deserting Count
CATOUR? It is evident from the letter of our own
correspondent at Turin that this is the construction
