no writer is the Itadepoulasal 8010, whose
remarks on the relations between France and &g-
-land have attracted so much attention in the press,
retiree to the subject, and in reply to the charge
brewed against him of mating an ill feeling between
Um two national, says r•'' I believed, simpleton as

I was, that after the four wars which have taken
place in the space of flee years—the Ragan war,
the China war, the Coehin•China war, and the
Italian war—it might be permitted one, even in
Fracos,no longer to consider the celebrated Bordeaux
_

declaration in an absolute sense. As to the threats
held out towards England, I repel any intention of
that kind. One does not threaten a ship by placing
• beseo• on the rock upon which it may split. On
the contrary, an opportunity has been afforded
whereby it may escape the danger to which
darkness may expose it. If, instead of cannel-
ing the difficulties of the last war, it
had been frankly and honestly diseased from the
beginning, in the light of day, it is more than proba-
ble that Fawn could compote 50,000 strong men
more than she can now; for we might then have
arrived, without a conflict, at the point where we
now appear to stand—the assembling of a oongren
to determine the fate of the Italia• people."
The writer goes on to say that nothing has been
settled at the conference of Zurich; that France and
Austria are divided more upon a question of prin-
ciple than a question of fact. The cabinet of Vienna
would yield upon all questions of detail, ens upon
the question of the duchies, if it were &stared
in the first place that Piedmont would put an end
to the underhand opposition which, notwithstanding
the retirement of Count Caner, it is keeping up in
Italy against Austria; and in the second place.
that the abandonment of their rights by the
princes of Central Italy was not to be regarded as
a sanction of the revolarlocary principle of allowing
the people to select their own form of
government. The Court of Vienna would not
concede anything to a principle which must
lead piece by piece to the dismemberment of
the populations who are ;mini under the sceptre of
Francis Joseph. The two Emperors must above
all things come to an understanding on the princi-
ples to be established, the end to be aimed at, and
the eo•sequencee which are likely to follow from
any concession; that may be made. It
is not l'kely that the diplomat'sts, who
are met at Zurich, can settle gustier, of
ea much importance. The two Emperors
ea alone decide in another interview the
paints on which a fusion of revolutionary right and
monarchical right can take place. The mission of
Prince Richard Metternich to Saint Seinenr
is connected with this interview. If the
French Emperor should accept the proposition
of Austria—if France should desire an alliance with
Austria with a view of giving to Ansti's at a future
tame an equivalent in the East for what she might
lose in Italy, the Vienna cabinet would yield it. It
rean'-is to be seen whether the Emperor Napoleon
will consent to this interview.

The following telegrams have been received at
Mr. Reuter's office this 'morning :
