why and the wherefore of that policy—the reason
for the pertinacious maintenance of the dead lock
here spoken of as preventing the further march of
events in Italy—who does not by this time compre-
hend it ?

hold Western Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and
Missouri. In all these Border States the slaves are
few. Emancipation, more or less gradual, would
be easy. That they should become the territory of
slave•drivers, can never be endured. The North,
and Europe, ought not to suffer it. Then, again,
it is certain, the mighty North-west NN ill
never let the Mississippi flow through foreign
soil. They will not lose their free high
road to the sea. Missouri is already theirs,
they will insist on Arkansas, with its small popula-
tion of less than half a million, being declared free.
Louisiana is half Unionist already, and Texas, with
its population of only one to a square mile, must be
free tou. Thus surrounded—the accursed nuisance
of slavery may bo left to die out in its own hateful
domain, and the grand object of the Lincoln elec-
tion, the limitation of slavery will be after all at-
tained.

The EMPEROR is reluctant to the very last
to quit that foothold he has upon the Italian soil—
a foothold he has retained ever since he succeeded as
Prince President of the French Republic, to the
situation created by the memorable act of the Na-
tional Assembly during the Presidency of General
CAVAIGNAC ! That act being the despatch of
a division of the French Republican army under
the command of OUDINOT to put down the Maz-
zinian rule then established at Rome, a very brief
while after the assassination of Rossi. When
Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE was elected Pre-
sident by nearly 6,000,000 Frenchmen on
the 10th of December, 1848—the despatch
of a French Division to take Rome from
GARIBALDI, had not only some time previously
been decided upon by the National Assembly,
but that Division had actually crossed the waters
of the Mediterranean from Toulon to Civita
Vecchia—while CAVAIGNAC was still in power
as President, nay as more than President, as Dic-
tator ! Succeeding to this not unwelcome " situa-
tion" in regard to Italian affairs, when he first
assumed power as President of the French Re-
public, Louis NAPOLEON has carefully preserved
his standing ground there in Central Italy ever
since. By his clever use of it, aided by the
vigorous dash he made to emancipate Lombardy,
he has contrived to secure to himself Savoy and
Nice as part and parcel of his own dominions. He
still keeps his hold upon Rome to this day—for ulte-
rior purposes of a yet grander and bolder
kind. The complexion of these designs is
known to us all familiarly. It is one essenti-
ally of a dynastic character. Emperor NAPOLEON
he is himself already—he has been for ten years
past. King of ITALY, like his uncle, he knows per-
fectly well he never can hope to be. Any more
than he can dream of becoming Protector of the
Confederation of the Rhine,'or Mediator of Switzer-
land ! Any more than he can hope to transform the
little Prince Imperial into another Boy King of
ROME! But other visions of a somewhat kindred
description he obviously does cherish, and has all
along cherished. Might not one of his Cousins—
Cousins not by Royal courtesy, but by Blood Re-
lationship—might not one of his cousins (Prince
MURAT) conveniently for the Napoleonic policy, fill
the throne of the Two Sicilies ? Might not another
of his cousins (Prince NAPOLEON) fill another and a
bran new throne there a little to the north, say in
Tuscany ? In these pertinent inquiries, we believe,
lie the two strands cArefullj intervolved, making
up together a clue capable of guiding us to the
very heart of that otherwise bewildering and almost
impenetrable labyrinth—the Italian policy of
NAPOLEON 111.

LATEST NEWS.

PARIS, OCT. 3.
The Paris papers of to-day publish the following

" RAGUSA, OCT. 2.

Constantinople, and are traversing Montenegro
proceeding in the direction of Servia.

road in Montenegro have been commenced."
" ATHENS, SEPT. 29.

" The diplomatic differences between the Turkish
and Hellenic Governments are becoming more

The same journals also state that letters have
been received at Marseilles from Constantinople to
the 28th ult,, announcing that isolated but frequent
conflicts took place between the Servians and
Turks.

The result of the Conferences had produced irri-
tation on both sides.

TURIN, OCT. 2.

" The King's daughters, before quitting their
country, implored pardon and favour for the 'per-
sons guilty of participation in the late events.
The day on which their prayer will be heard is
On Sunday a Royal decree will proclaim an
amnesty for Garibaldi and his followers, from
which, however, the deserters from the Royal army
will be excluded."

The rumours of a ministerial crisis are no longer

WARSAW, OCT. 2.

At the sitting of the Council of State, which
took place yesterday, the Grand Duke Constantine
addressed a speech in Polish to the councillors.
His Imperial Highness stated that the recent
lamentable occurrences had not shaken the good
intentions of the Government. He regretted deeply
that respect for the law had prevented him from
exercising the prerogative of pardon. He stated
that not more than 69 Polish political prisoners out
of 499, were still expiating their offences.
His Imperial Highness directed attention finally
to the promised reforms which had already been
introduced.

BERLIN, OCT. 2.

In the sitting of the Upper Chamber to-day bills
settling the mining dues and import and export
duties were passed.
Count von Bismark-Schonhausen stated that the
Government adhered to the Treaty of Commerce
concluded with France, and would only accede to
the renewal of the Zollverein compact upon that
basis. He advocated the acceptance of the resolu-
tion of the Chamber of Deputies upon this sub-
ject, and the resolution was unanimously adopted.
The semi-official Allgemeine Preussische (Stern)
Zeitung of to-day publishes a leading article upon
the last resolutions of the committee on the budget.
The writer considers that an effective settlement of
the budget before the Ist of January, as desired by
the committee, is not to be thought of.
As regards the second resolution of the commit-
tee on the budget, by which it was proposed to de-
clare unconstitutional the charges for military re-
organisation which had been rejected by the Chamber
of Deputies, the Stern Zeitung says:—
