ei France, Russia, and
Austria._ ..;—they are phrases uttered
at PlombiL.res and at Stutg.ard—is to imporialise Europe,.
making themselves master, in order to falsify it, of the na-
tional idea, and substituting the territorial question to the
question of liberty. The means—and this will be the next
step to the Lombard war—arc the partition between the

three members of the 'alliance of the Mahomedan posses-
sions in Europe and Africa, and war with England.

If Austria did not accept the proposals of Villafranca, the
plan was to have been executed in a modified manner be-
tween the Czar and the Emperor. Hungary emancipates
from Austria would fall to Constantine ; the Mediterranean,
converted into a French lake, to the Emperor. Russia was
to be directly of indirectly mistress of the north and of the
east of Europe ; Imperial .Vrance of the west and of the
south. At present the agreement of the three changes the
idea of partition, and limits, as I said, the next step to the
dismemberment of Oriental Europe and to the war with.
England and Prussia.

"I declare, not from conjecture more or less probable,
but from certain knowledge of the fact, the existence of this
plan.: I declare that it was discussed at Plombieres. I
declare that the bases- of agreement between the Emperor
and•the Czar concerning the East were carried back by La.
Rouciere to Paris in his last mission, shortly before the
Sardo-Lombard war. Those live in Europe who know the
truth.of what I say, and ought to substantiate it, but they
will not, nor is it for me to betray those who choose to be
silent. But the readers of my letter to Ca.vour, published:
last year, and of some numbers of the journal Pensicro cif
Ard One know that the revelations then given of what hap-
pened later prove the authority of the sources from which I
draw my information."

The Writer denounces Beutrality for a great State is "the
abdication, the suicide of that State." The only way to
combat Imperialism is therprinciole of nationality.
" Louis Napoleon and the Czar intend to avail themselves,
for their own ends, of this principle. It must be taken from
Whoetay4 l'AaPagePtlor Cialik;elßujiltititttgaMarG;;
themselves at the feet of Imperialism. _

"Louis Napoleon and the Czar intend to substitute the
territorial question for that of liberty. . Europe must gua-
rantee liberty to the peoples.
" A league, headed by England, which, uniting in one
England, Prussia, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Switzer—
land,t Portugal, Spain, and the other minor States of
Europe, should declare itself guarantee of the independence

and liberty of every State in whatever concerns its internal
affairs, and ready to protect, even by force of arms, that
liberty and independence against auy invader whatsoever,
would radically destroy the plans of Imperialism—would
withdraw the peoples for ever from its seductions—would.
render now wars impossible from its numerical force, and
would isolate the Empire, conde.iming it to fight for its ex—
istence in France.

" Such a league is not only possible, but easy. All Europa:
is now afraid of the invading tendencies of Imperialism.
" On the question of Italy—the question upon which now
rests that of war or peace in Europe—the league should say
to the Empire; You have made peace with Austria ; all
reason for your longer sojourn in Italy has ceased. You.
descended the Alps to secure the independence of Italy. This
independence requires the withdrawal of every foreign army
froni the Peninsula. Leave it then. You promised shortly
before the war that you would abandon the Roman States
when Austria abandoned them. The condition is now fnl-
filled—leave Rome. Leave the people of Italy free to settlct•
with their forces the questions which have been agitated for•
half a century between them and their G. overnmenta;
twcen the nation organized and Austria mistress of wince..
We shall take care that she does not again recross the.
the limit assigned to her by your peace.' This is
the only. policy worthy of. England. By this alone can she.
relink herself in the bonds of brotherhood with the peoples,
raise herself to the height of an European mission, fulfil
without incurring any setious dangers to her own duty, awl
arrest the usurping movement of the empire. If not, she
must prepare to cope with it alone, first in Turkey, after-
wards upon her own shores."
