THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 29, 1861.

and even months in advance, and to insure vie-
tory and success; and he tells Mr. Litroour
that it is his duty to resist outside pressure and
preach patience to the people.
The General has a special right to ask this,
since within the last few weeka be has exhibited
his ability to gain the ends of war without
those violent and sanguinary collisions which
are the only resource of unskilled warriors.
He has already driven back the enemy and com-
pelled him to abandon important positions, by sheer
strategy. Washington has been delivered, Balti-
more occupied, Virginia entered, Harper's Ferry
retaken, without striking a blow.
But the General's advice is good beyond its
application to the military affairs of America, and
if our cousins will only take its spirit kindly into
their hearts, they will rime to a position higher
than they have yet occupied in the estimation of
the world. Impatience, a weakness natural
to a people conscious of strength and little
accustomed to real difficulties, robs of its
just elevation a national character abounding in
excellences, and keeps them from doing justice
either to others or themselves. We have no de-
sire to dwell upon the anger lately fulminated
against England, because we are glad to see that
the grounds and motives of our policy are begin-
ning to be better understood throughout the Union.
But it is useful to point out that the misconcep-
tions lately rife might have been prevented by •
very little inquiry. We in England have long
been accustomed to read with calmness the base

estimates formed of us in the Slave States—the
degrading predictions of our American policy in
case of secession, circulated in organs like De Bee's
Review. But we have been astonished to see men
of character and intelligence in the North picking up
calumnies which even their inventors did not believe,
and accepting them with undoubting faith. It is not
from a "sensation press" that a fair appreciation
of opinion in a foreign country is to be expected ;
yet the extent to which the New York journals
have indulged in misrepresentation of English sen-

timent is astonishing. No intelligent stranger can
move up and down among us without perceiving
that our beat wishes are with the North in this

iggle, because the North represents those prin-

ciples of freedom which are to us as vital as air.
At first a few, deceived by the sophistical pretence of
self-government, may have misunderstood the cha•
rector of the attempt to mark off the Southern
States from the area of American freedom, and
erect an atrocious oligarchy there ; but the paradox
of instituting a great slave empire in the
name of liberty could not long mislead. But the '
maw of the nation and its government were
always sound. We see with pleasure that more
rational views of our public action are beginning
to prevail in the free States. The New
York journalsl may say if they please that our
Government is returning to sensible principles ;
but the fact remains that our course has been
uniform and consistent, and has ever been dictated
by a friendly regard for the American people sad
a desire to place ourselves in harmony with the
obligations of international law. Mr. Dam"
late Minister of the United States at this Court,
is reported to have stated at Philadelphia that
the people of this country have a rooted sym-
pathy with the North, that the hatred of slavery,
as maintained by the New Confederacy, is intense,
although both the Government and the people
will insist on neutrality. If Mr. DALLAS said
this, he correctly represented public opinion in
England.

Txa business of the House of Commons was
stopped last night for a considerable time by Mr.
BAYLLIS Cocuasivs, who had a motion declaring
that a certain " Garibaldi Fund for the Unity of
" Italy " was inconsistent with the principles of
non-intervention. Suppose it is. What ',has the
House of Commons to do with that t Many people
think non-intervention a most absurd and futile
doctrine. Mr. Coctutanz appears to have a
' suspicion of the kind, for be quotes the opinion of
"a very eminent man," who, it seems, has
said that Solferino and Magenta were as unfortu-
nate to us as if they had been fought in Kent.
If that opinion is correct, non-intervention is a
mistake, and we ought to have interposed for
Austria, or, in other words, fought the battle of
England in Lombardy. However, the English
nation thought our interests were not involved,
and Italy has the benefit of the judgment. Let
Mr. COMPASS and his friends permit the rest of
the world to enjoy their opinions as he enjoys his
own. He knows full well that if people like to
subscribe money for the emancipation of Venice or
Rome, nobody can hinder them. Mr. Pori Hz--
Imlay and Sir Grown BONY= ought to be the
lost to complain that money is subscribed in
England to restore Rome to the Romans, when the
Pore's agents openly collect here a heavy tribute
which is spent in swords and pistols for keeping
the inhabitants under subjection to the priests.
Mr. Cot:MILNE repeated in the House the story of
the burning of two villages and the shooting of
three and twenty prisoners by the Italian troops,
notwithstanding its falsehood had been exposed.

A story (says the A thencrum) has long been cur-

life whether be died or not. Lord Brougham is said to
have retaliated in black and white; so that while the
author of the "Statesmen of the Reign of George the
Third" is said to ham a Life of Lord Campbell in his desk,
the author of the "Lives of the Chancellors" is said to
have had in his desk a Life of Lord Brougham. Time will
show, for whatever hos been written by either will in all
probability be one day given to the public.

OONEITANT'INOPLE, .Ttrvri 19.

The Sultan [the late Sultan] attended the Cour-
ban Bairam yesterday. His physicians had recom-
mended him not to go out, and the ministers tried
to persuade him to hold the ceremony at Top-hand,
whither he might have gone without greatly

fatiguing himself ; but he would listen to no
advice, and determined to go to the usual place,
namely, Sultan Ahmed's mosque at Stamboul.
This decision involved the necessity of his passing
a night at the old palace of Top Capon. All who
saw him ride from the palace to the mosque were
perfectly shocked at the manifest ravages of disease
shown in his features. His bead was bowed down,
his eye lacked lustre, he seemed to have no use of
his limbs, and rather laid than sat upon his
horse. At the ceremony of kissing hands, he laid
down upon the throne, and, in order to
spare him fatigue as much as possible,
only muchirs, first-class civil functionaries, and
generals of division were allowed to approach him.
In the evening he was much the worse for his exer-
tions, and could scarcely speak. Nevertheless, and
although he gets worse every day, and may be
truly said to be in a desperate state, he persists that
he is quite well, rejects all the prescriptions of his
physicians, goes out every day, and will submit to
no regimen.

Sir Henry Bubver has been very ill for the last
three days. He has an attack of pleurisy, with
very alarming symptoms.
Baron Pichon, the French minister in Persia,
arrived here with his family a few days ago, and
left yesterday for Smyrna, en route for France. He
has with him three Persian horses of great price,
sent by the Shah as a present to Napoleon 111.

&both by degrees, sad without collision, the solution so d-
i &WIT longed for by the Italians. This confidence in the
*Mos of our cause, in the wisdom of the European goveru-
sow* as well as in the support, every day more powerful,
of public opinion—which Count Cavour expressed with so
amok eloquence shortly before his death—has pulsed undi-
minished into the administration over which I have the
honour to preside.
The King and his ministers are, however, convinced that
it is in organising the forces of the country, sad in giving
Europe the example of a wise and regular progress, that we
shall succeed in protecting our rights, without exposing
Italy to barren agitations, and Europe to dangerous com-
plications.

You can, then, M. Count, completely reassure the hepa-
rin government as to our intentions on the subject of our
external policy. Nevertheless, the declaratsons of M.
Tbouvenel relative to the Roman question compel me to
add some words on this head. You know, IL Count, in
what manner this question is regarded by the King's govern-
ment. Our wish is to restore to Italy her glorious capital,
but our intention is to take away nothing from the greatness
of the church or from the independence of the august chief
of the catholic religion. We, consequently, are glad to
' hope that the Emperor will be able in good time to recall
his troops without that measure exciting amongst sincere
catholic/ apprehensions which we should be the first to
regret. The interests even of France—we are convinced of
it—will decide the French government to take this determi-
nation. While leaving it to the high wisdom of
the Emperor to determine the moment at which Rome may
without danger be left to herself, we shall always
feel it our duty to facilitate this solution ;
and we hope that the French government will not refuse us
its good °Moss in bringing the court of Rome to accept an
agreement which would be fertile in happy consequences for
the future of religion as well as for the fate of Italy.

Affairs, and to leave with him a copy.
