LeNDO.II. THURSDAY. DEC. 1.

Revolts the Government of Great Britain con-
nate to enter into a Congress on the subject of
Italian affairs, it may be well to recall the part taken
by those who represented as in the councils of
Europe oa the memorable occasion when those affsire
last received their dynastic impress. Amid the re-
joictsge fur the return of pesos and the emancipation
of the Continent from the dictatorship of Nitrous's
too little heed was given to many things dolma and
eolfered at the time, which at any other would have
engaged national attention, and stirred popular is-
digestion. To swell the confluent stratum of peers'
revolt in 1813 promisee of constitutional freedom'!
were held out everywhere, but more especially is
Germany, by its native rulers, and in Italy by mum
Sicily had previously been actually revolutionised
under the protectorate of England; and the coo-
treat of Parliamentary Government in that country I
wee held up to the inhabitants of the Peninsula as as
incitement to them to throw off the yoke of foreign
despotism. In concert with the military measures of
the Grand Alliance a considerable fore* wee
despatched to Central Italy in 1813, under the mem
mood of Lard WILLIAM BENTINCIt, whose orders
were to raise the standard of national independence
and domestic ikeedem. The English general was
known to he an loam man and a sound liberal. His
word, it was rightly judged, would be taken se
• pledge of good faith by the people ; and
when accordingly he issued his celebrated and long-
remembered Proclamation, calling on the nation to
rim in arms for the !thermic(' of their native lead
from foreign and arbitrary rule, its words acted an a
spell ; the national colours were unfurled ; " Italy
" for the Italians" was the watch-word and the
belief of the hour; and in a short time French domi-
nation south of the Alpe suss circumscribed within
the walls of a few fortified towns.

At the class of the year 1813, when the armies of
the Coalition were about to cross the Rhine, Lord
CASTLEILLAI,II war sent to head•quarters to confer
with the Allied Sovereigns and their Ministers sa to
the political direction to be given to drain. And it
was then, properly speaking, that the Congress,
Enally adjourned to Vienna, began. The sinister in-
fluence of such associates quickly became manifest
in his communications to his own Government, and
their representatives abroad, with whom, as Sr
.sectary foe Foreign Affairs, he continued to corre-
spond. Belgians wee assigned as a supplemental
kingdom to the Prince of ORANGE (rho intended
husband of the Princess Camthorr a of WALES); and
Antrim' was to be compeosated for the surrender
of her ancient claims to the Low Countries by the
extension of her powers in Italy.
la a despatch dated April 3,1814, Lard W. Bra-
nnen was told that in Twenty "the Archduke's
restoration was the point to press," and he weathers
directed "to no every ezertiso to decide the fate
"'of Italy as early as possible." In another despatch
Lord CarntaLAGn writer, " I trust before this
reaches your lordship that mouures will have
" been taken by Marshal BELLMARDE (the Au.-
" (ran cemmander), in consequence of orders sent
"him to this rifect, for establishing the aattioeity of
"the Grand Duke in Tuscany. Your lordship eery
" properly, sad ender orders from hews, gave peat
"countenance at a former period to the only system
" winch previous to the revival of the Continent could
"afford a prospect of checking the power of Frans.
"It is the more sat:essary, now that a different and
" better order of things his arisen, to ward against
"any act or expression which might own-
" Moaners an idea that either your lordship
"or yJur court were actuated by an urriire-perue•
" inconsistent with the arrangements understood
" between the great Powers of Europe. In your
" Proclamation" (to the Italian people) " there may
" perhaps be found an expression or two which,
" separately taken, ;might create an impression that
"your views of Rotten liberation went to the
" form of the Govan:meat as well as to the expel-
" lion of the French. • • • Should your lord-
ship have brought any supply of arms with your
" expedition, I must particularly inform yea
" not to employ them in any loose or general
" armament of the peop'e. It is lot inane-
" roolon we rear want in Italy or elsewhere
"—we want disciplined force ander sovereigns we ,

don therewith as the most effectual method of trivia,
esatlilenee to the Allies. Two days later Lard
CASTLEREAGH wrote informing the English general
is Italy of the tall of Paris and the restoration of
tie Bouasons. Tbsnostorth all scruple* about Italy
ems to bare been laid aside.

In the int flash of victory it was deemed neon-
eery to inanimate the se-establishment of legitimacy
in Wasters Europe with constitutional forms; and
writing officially from Paris, where the Absolutist
Ministers were assembled, under date 7th May,
1814, the English Bsoretery for Foreign Affairs ad-
monished Lord W. linirthrit not to give any now
regiment to hopes of representative institutions in
the Peninsula. "I cannot bring myself to wish that
the too eztewaies experiment already in operation
e throughout Europe in the science of government
• should be at once augmented by simile!. creations
"in Italy. It is impossible no. to perceive a great
" moral plunge coming on in Europe, and that the
" priaelpine of freedom are in full operation. The
" danger is, that the transition may be too sudden to
• ripen into anything likely to make the world
better or happier. We have new constitution
" launched in France, Spain, Holland, and Rielly.
" Let us see the results before we encourage further
" attempts. It is better to retard than accelerate
" the operation of thee most hazardous principle. In
" Italy it is now the more necomery to abstain, if
" we wish to act in concert with Austria and Ear
" dials. Whilst we tied to drive the French ont of
" Italy we were lostifted in running all risks; bat
" the present state of Europe reipOres no such expo-
" client, sad with a view to general peace and traa-
" quality I shield prefer seeing the Italians await
" the insatiable Mance of what is going on else.
" when, than haaard their own internal quiet by an
" effort at this moment." We all know what
followed. Representative institution thus put upon
their trial by the coalored Toryism of Europe, were
in two cases out of the four arbitrarily pronounced
guilty of failure sour afterwards; and Italy, which
had been stimulated to omit, and used as an insur-
gent confederate against MtroixoN, was coolly be-
trayed and bidden back to her prison, without even
the chance of proving whether or not she was capable
of constitutional liberty.

Five-and-forty year have come and gone slow
a British Minister, with the assent of his Cabinet
colleagues and the approval of his Court, took
a prominent part in the Conferences or Congress by
whose fiat these crimes against mankind were per.
petrated. Thus they stand in the records of oar time
duly registered, and to the present hour no atone-
meat has been made for them. Is it to undo what
was then don* in England's desecrated name that a
British Minister is to be invited to attend the am-
templated Congress of 1840 ? If so, and if from
the outset it be really sad thoroughly understood on
all hands that our representitive shall go to redeem
though late, the long-forfeited expectations and
promises held forth in 1813 and 1814, then we do
not say nay to the proposal; but if the aim of either
Francs or Austria, or both of them, be
to engage this country anew to recognise
sad sanction by our recommendation the
re-imposition of any of the mis-rulers of Central
Italy on their now emancipated subjects—then the
oiler mast and ought to be unhesitatingly declined.
Our sentiments is a people are too well knows to
be misrepresented, were it possible to conceive •
Minister so intatuated as to wish to do so; and the
i days are gone when Court or Cabinet could =ee-
-1 mei/. the nation into the passive acquiescence in a
policy its soul abhors. We need not say that we
have never doubted the COMO which our present
Ministers would Mho ha a ease ea plain.

We understand that the Semeheri of Lincoln's Inn
and of Gray's Inn have granted the free use of their
halls and gardens for the purpose of drilling the lons
of Court Volunteer Rifle Corps. It is to be hoped
that the Benchers of the Inner and Middle Temple
will grant a similar privilege, for otherwise it will
boo impossible to sesommodste ell the rifle volunteers
of the Inns of Court, who are increasing daily.
