LONDON, MONDAY,

M. Guiwr an no longer be regarded as the type
of doctrineae politicians. The mast provoking dee-
p-lawn in Europe, at this moment, are M. MAZZINI
and his sectaries. M. MAntim is not a statesman,
or an agitator, or a political reformer, bat the pro.
pounder of a new faith; and every unbeliever is put
under the ban and anathema of the prophet. He
hates Piedmont more than he hates Austria—and
why? Became GIOBEETI, COMM BALD!, and
others of the Piedniontem school have propounded
views in politics at varieties from his own, and be-
cause they and their disciples refuse to be converted
by him. Again, be launches his decries of excommu-
nication against the Socialists—and why! Because
they, too, are promulgators of a political creed at vari-
ance with the only saving political faith as it is in
Mauna. M. MA-MINI, with many excellent qualities,
has unluckily more of a doctor of the Sorbonne ip
him than of a genial and catholic-minded champion
of human liberty and happiness. His own ideas and
categories of thought are of more importance in hie
eyes than the whole human ram. Piedmont is at
this moment the only province of Italy In which there
exists liberty of the press; representative govern-
ment, with freedom of speech in Parliament; security
of the private citizen from arbitrary arrest, secret in-
quisitorial interrogatories, and hopeless interminable
incarceration. Piedmont is bated by the 'wounding
despotic Governments, because there is a daily beauty
in its life that makes theirs hideous. Therefore is
Piedmont made the theme of the most Matelots
slanders by theme Governments, sad the vile egoists of
their police; therefore is Piedmont threatened by
Asetria and insulted by Tuscany; therefore is every
device resorted to with a view to involve Piedmont
in war, and deprive her of the sympathy of Estop*.
Again, the Government of Piedmont is the only
Italian Government that is imbued with the senti-
ment of Italian nationality, the only Italian Govern-
meat that has a voice is the smooth of the great
power, of Europe. For these reasons is Piedmont at
this moment regarded, both is sad eat of Italy, as
the last remaining stronghold of Italian lade-
pendent:* and liberty. The sympathies of every
rational European Liberal ere at this moment
awakened by the gallant stand that Piedmont is
making, and by her eminently precarious prospects
in the fate». 8b owes this ermliding sympathy
less to the high character of her Lading statesmen, or
the spirit et her people—though both are admir►ble
—than to the necessities of bee position. Piedmoat
cannot help herself without helping the rest of Italy
at the same time. If Piedmont is allowed to fall
there will remain no organised power in Italy able
or willing to assert the rights and liberties of the

Apropos of the Muratiat intrigues, we warned the
Liberals of Italy and Europe spinet allowing thus-
selves to be led astray by Wilo'-thowisp fantastic
ambitions. There is osrtaialy something inexpres-
sibly ladlefuls about the aspirations of the Mum
elan sod their handful of partisans. The juvenile
enterprises of the present Emperor of the Fames,
at Strasbourg and Besieges, were ridiculous
enough, and the Muralist machinations are only a
poor and servile copy of them. But the movements
of the Moratists are not one whit more absurd than
those of the Meniniste. The muck of a few mores
of men and hop, who knew neither what themselves
sifted at. nor how others were likely to reesive them,
first into Mena-Canon and then oat again, was
foolish 'mesh. Bat the proposed sabseription to
