THE WAR QUESTION.

PARIS, Jan. 20.

One would suppose that the Ministerial press
takes a pleasure in dissipating the hopes in the
maintenance of peace which itself has raised; and
that when
the public believes the storm to have
blown over, it speaks as if it saw another darken-
ing in the distance. The Constitutionnel, only a
very few days ago, announced that the Austrian
Government had given explanations of a satis-
factory character on the Servian question, as they
-showed respect for the Treaty of Paris. The
article of three days ago emanated from the
Foreign Office ; that of to-day, written, •it is
affirmed, by a superior employe of the same do-
partment, who has been long known in the literary
world, calls in question these explanations, and
adds that the protests of the European Cabinets
are maintained in spite of them. The following is
an extract from the article : _

Unfortunately, late facts tend to shake the explanations
given at present by Austria of her intentions. All the
cabinets,
:judging by her actions, had attributed to her
but one intention —that of refusing to keep the engage-
ments imposed by the treaty of Paris. Hence proceeded
all the protests excited by her conduct France had not
alone sent in her protest, but also England and Russia.
Even Prussia, whose German patriotism has at heart to
prove that Germany is united on foreign questions, joined
the other Powers in protesting. At this moment, all these
protests are maintained, even in presence of the late step
of the Vienna cabinet. And why are they maintained ?
Because it is the opinion of all the Powers that the
present attitude of Austria must not at some future period
be interpreted as the consequence of the re-establishment
of order in Servia. There was no cause for isolated
intervention, since that step was prohibited by the Treaty
of Paris. It must be made clearly known, in order that
satisfaction shall be given to the legitimate and unani-
mous protests of Europe, that it is not to the re-establish-
ment of order in Servia, but to the cause of right and to
the terms of the Treaty of Paris, that must be ascribed
the solution of the matter.

On the other hand, public opinion remains the
same. The little pamphlet, of which I spoke yes-
terday, is to-day published. Here are a few more
passages, not less strong than those I have already
communicated. At page 20, the writer says :
Now the idea of interfering in Italy, of declaring
war against Austria, which does not insult us, appertain-
ing evidently to a plan which, when accomplished, would
occasion a general war, everybody cries out against it,
because (with the exception of a few dangerous fanatics)
nobody wishes to incur an almost certain loss in order to
raise up a new coalition against us for the deceptive satis-
faction of aiding the Italians who abandoned it, or rather
betrayed us in 1813, and the Piedmontese who accepted
Savoy as the price of their fidelity to the holy alliance of
kings against people.

Again,—
France dreads the chances of this war, because our
national interests do not require it; she repels it because
she sees in it with reason the first rudiments of a coali-
tion. In the heroic periods of the first republic and of
the Consulate, she sounded the toscin of deliverance; she

marched her battalions for the independence of twenty
various nations. The latter, it is true, followed and
applauded her as long as victory remained faithful to her
banners. Her principles were so fine, and so worthy the
admiration of mankind ! But what took place on the day
of our reverse ? All abandoned, betrayed, curtailed, and
humiliated her by dragging among their waggons the car
of the insulting Thersites mounted by the Marquis of
Carabbas and the Marchioness of Pretint aille, and when
the great conqueror withdrew from these battles of giants
he left our country smaller than when he took possession
of it.

Let the calumniators of Napoleon 111. excite him to
despise so many considerations favourable to the mainte-
nance of peace and to his personal security ; let them
endeavour even to force him to commit the errors which
led the First Empire to its destruction, it is still a
manner of making war on him. But that he should
lend an ear to these perfidious suggestions ; that he
should disturb the people by reports of a rupture
with States which do not insult us ; that he should
spontaneously excite mistrust ; that he should increase the
difficulties of a commercial situation already too precarious;
that he himself should render doubtful what is certain ;
that he should realise the anticipations of his enemies, who
have always pretended that the promise made at Bordeaux,
th
he empire is peace," would not be kept—that he
sjould consent to repeat the fable of Bertrand and
Raton for the benefit of Piedmont that he should suffer
To Principles of nationality to be raised in Italy, a ques-
tion pregnant with a general war, and of a seventh
coalition, directed by England, exceeds all belief, con-
founds, and overthrows all before it. One feels oneself,
one looks at and interrogates himself, as if he had been
attacked by a nightmare, and believes himself still under
the effect of an hallucination.
If we bear in mind the state of the press, we
shall the better appreciate the dismay felt at the
bare idea of war, and the spirit which inspired
these passages.
A second pamphlet, in 47 gages, has just made
its appearance. Its title is, " Est ce la Paix ?
Est ce la Guerre ?" The author, whose name is
not Oven, discusses the probabilities of either
solution ; but from a very hurried glance over its
concluding pages it appears as if he thinks a
general Congress the most likely and the best
mode of solvin,, existing difficulties. He says :
We know that certain Cabinets do not ask for better
than to have to repress partial insurrections in order to
justify political systems that are unjustifiable. and give
occasion for more vigorous repression. But has not
Europe a contrary interest ?
If in 1856 it was not a question for the Congress either
to adopt definite resolutions, or to accept engagements,
or to intervene directly in the internal affairs of Govern-
ments represented or not represented in the Congress, the
time is come when these resolutions, these engagements,
these direct interventions ought to take place.
Where could these grave interests be more fitly dis-
cussed than in a Congress ? Where could these general
considerations relative to the peace of Europe be set forth
with more calmness at d more authority ? Will it be said
that the Congress will terminate nothing, will do:nothing,
and that the Governments directly interested will reject
every discussion, every counsel ? Bnt if it happened that
these governments were alone of that . opinion, alone
against all, would they not be obliged to yield to that
moral ascendant which would have for sanction, if need
be, formidable fleets and armies ?
At all events a duty would at least be accomplished.
The Governments of the Peninsula would have an oppor-
tunity offered them. Pacific means would be tried before
having recourse to arms ; opinion would be enlightened,
and responsibility satisfied. Finally, what ought to be
done would be done, happen afterwards what might. If
it be war which followed, it will be at once legitimate and
inevitable, and in this double title it will be popular.
The issue of it will not be doubtful.
The idea of a general Congress sitting in Paris
for the settlement of great European questions is

not now for the first time entertained

mooted years ago, and it is not impossible it
may now be revived, and probably the Emperor
supposes with success, as the best means of escape
from the difficulties of the moment. There are
some who think that it would not suit him to take
the initiative in a continental struggle, but that he
would not be sorry if it broke out somehow, that
he might afterwards see whether it was opportune
:and convenient for him to meddle in it—the idea
,of his being the great moderator of Europe
happening to be one which is uppermost in the
Imperial mind.

TURIN, Jan. 18

The belief in coming war is decidedly on the
increase, and seems to have infected classes which
until lately were incredulous. The commercial
body seems to have taken the alarm, and to be dis-
posed to stand on its guard, and restrict its opera-
tions. It is not to be supposed that the wish for
war is nearly so general here, where there is much
to lose, as in Lombardy, where it is thought that
there is everything to gain. War would probably
not be unpopular in Piedmont ; many people would
accept it willingly, because they believe the King
wishes it; others cherish vindictive feelings towards
the Austrains ; and others, again, sympathise with
their brethren in Lombardo-Venetia, for whom they
are ready- to encounter some risk and sacrifice.
But assuredly there are many in this country who
think that Piedmont would do well to go on steadily
in the path of progress and improvement upon
which she has entered, and not to risk her
welfare in an uncalled-for contest. The war
party has the advantage of making itself heard
much more than the peace party. ; the greater part
of the newspapers are in its interest, and it, of
course; is supported, if not headed, interest, and whole
body of emigrants, comprising some men of talent,
and many active energetic agitators. Its hopes
have been raised fc, the highest pitclt by the

various recent incidents that have fixed the public
attention, and it evidently considers itself on the
ye of attaining its end.

NICE, Jan. 14.
The following proclamation was published here

to-day

Fellow Citizens,—The preparations of Austria in the
Lombardo-Venetian Provinces impose upon our govern-
ment the duty of taking defensive measures against all
possible eventualities. Rather than call out the new
contingents, it is thought better in the interest of the
people to ooncentrate in Piedmont the military force now
scattered over Savoy, in the isle of Sardinia, and in
Nice ; and our brave garrison will this day embark in
war steamers for Genoa. The government has not hesi-
tated, nor ought it to hesitate, to leave Nice entirely
denuded of troops, for it knows well that for safety, good
order, and public security, it can depend upon the calm
and pacific spirit of the inhabitants. Their traditional
devotion to the dynasty of Savoy, and to the secret cause
which it has defended for eight centuries, remains un-
changed, and it has also its National Guard, which in
all late events has always been foremost in the mission
of order and of liberty.
Fellow Citizens,—The government explains to you its
intentions with that courageous frankness which so
conspicuously and honourably distinguishes it. Let us
have full confidence in its loyalty. The calm and the
prudence with which it prepares for the defence of our
flag and the honour of our nation, penetrates our hearts,
and will be for us a pledge of security and a guarantee
that our hopes will not be deceived. Viva it Re! Viva
lo Stated° !
