LOYDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 14.

r we nay credit the rumours which reach us
firm abroad, the death of the great Italian Minis-
tei has already been followed by one result of
signal value and importance to the Kingdom he
treated and in whose service he fell. The French
Government, it is stated, on authority which,
though not unquestionable, is still entitled to
respect, has determined to recognise the new king-
dank without further delay. Apart from the special
source whence this intelligence oomes, there are
many reasons which incline us to believe that it may
le well-founded. Whatever may have been the ori-
ginal differences between the Italian scheme of
r!ount Cavorn and that of the French Emerson,
the policy of the former has now achieved not
only a material but a splendid moral triumph,
which is the best evidence of its wisdom and the
surest pledge of its permanent success. The work
which the PRI Xi MINISTER of Italy accomplished
commends itself to the enlightened judgment and
moral judgment of Europe as that of a profound
and' far-sighted statesman whose policy was
based not on any narrow or local considerations
merely, but on the widest survey and most search-
ing estimate of all the political forces and inter-
national relationships of the time, and who, there-
fore. had regard from the first to the existing
wants and future welfare of Europe as well as of
Italy. For more than fifty years Europe has been
the active battle-field of two forces which, as
the essential constituents of political life and pro-
gress, cannot be divorced without fatal results
—the forces of freedom and order. No doubt in
some shape or other the conflict is se old as human
society, but it can exist in • conscious and active
form only amongst highly civilised and intelli-
gent races. The French revolution determined
this conflict on the Continent, and ever since
Europe, if not divided into hostile camps, has been
penodicslly convulsed by violent struggles between
the representatives of liberty and law. But many
causes, amongst which the intelligence of the
people was not the least active, conspired to make
Italy the .very centre and focus of this struggle.
It was the scene of incessant and perpetual
disturbances—the very hot-bed of conspiracy,
insurrection, and revolutionary efforts—a political
volcano always smouldering, j and liable at any
moment to break forth in new and desolating
eruptions. In a word, the political condition of
the Peninsula was a chronic source of disturbance
and danger to Europe. To remove that danger
was the greatest political problem of the age. The
nval part iw in the struggle had become so embit-
tered against each other, that the task of recon-
ciling the powers they represented, of berme-
nning established government with full poli-
tical freedom, seemed a hopeless one. The ex-
isting governments ruthlessly destroyed all liberty,
and the revolutionists were madly bent on de-
stroying all existing authority. Any man who
talked of • king or a constitution wee regarded as
little better than a traitor. To heal this fatal
breach, and restore unity and freedom to his deso-
lated country, was the task to which Cavort
devoted every energy of his capacious intellect,
every passion of his noble nature, and every hour
of his laborious life. The work is done.
Italy is united and free. The Italians en-
joy the bleedngs of pesos and prosperity under
a liberal and constitutional government. But if this
is a great result for Italy, it is ingresnlile to over-
estimate its value and importance to Europe at
large. Every nation in Europe is stranger from the
strength of the Italians, and has a fresh security
of its own peace and prosperity in the peace and
prosperity of Italy. Instead of being • menace
end peril to Europe, the Southern Peninsula is
sow a bulwark against lawless revolution on the
one hand, and despotic power on the other.
lu a word, the new Kingdom is the strongest gua-
rantee that could possibly have been devised for
securing the peace of Europe, and Loris NA-
Potion is far too usgacious not to be fully aware
of the fact.

The sudden removal of Count Carona renders
it the more important that the work he has ao-
onsidished should be Secured in its integrity
and established in the strongest form. It
ia emential for Europe that this should
bo done, and done without delay. The
limparor of the Faucet', we cannot doubt, sees
clearly enough this necessity, and is prepared lo
set upon it. He is represented, in addressing the
representative of Vorroe Eflif•NCIL, to have said,
referring to Count CAVOUI'S death, "that while
" Italy had lost in him an able and devoted sem-
" rant, who beet responded to the necessities of
" tho situation, Europe had lost in him one of the
" strongest pillars of a liberal conservative policy."
The loos being a European one, it becomes the libe-
ral 4iovernmente of Europe to do what they can to
. .

avert any public evils it might be likely to
produce. The Great Minister who not only
mined Italy but kept all her enemies in awe, is
now in his grave, but he has bequeathed to Western
Europe the heritage she will tbsokfully accept,
of doing her utmost to support, strengthen,
and consolidate the new Kingdom. England
has already recognised Vicron Fareaorxx
as King of Italy; and now, in the
hour of deep sorrow sod anxiety which has
bushed all rivalry and united all differences, it is
an act of comiderste friendship and sympathy no
less than of politic duty and national interest for
France to recognire the broad kingdom tor. The
Italian policy of the two Western Powers will
