preliminaries of peace arrived here today, and will
be exchanged against that of Prussia in the course
of this evening."—Times. _

VENICE.

LORD PALMERSTON AND THE TREATY OF

VIENNA.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sia,—lt must be with regret that Englishmen read
the letter of Lord Palmerston to the great Manin. We
see a handful of patriotic men in one small city strug-
gling against an empire, the abode of despotism and
infamy; the Government of that city Venice, begs
England to interfere by mediation in behalf of the de-
voted patriots—and England (nol not England, but
England's Government) replies by expressing its
" sympathy " (much good may it do), but declines in
any way interfering, in consequence of the treaty of
Vienna! Can our Noble Foreign Secretary, or auy
other man living, say what the treaty of Vienna is—not
what it was—but what it is? Can any one bring for-
ward one clause in that treaty which hwinot been in-
fringed by one or other of the parties to it? Is Belgium
of 1830 forgotten? Is Cracow of 1846 forgotten? Are
Sicily of 1848 and other innumerable infringements of
that and this year forgotten? The treaty of Vienna!
I always considered (but now must presume I was in
error) that when one party breaks a contract, and
the other party silently permits the breaking thereof,
that that contract becomes null and void. It appears,
however, that treaties may be infringed to suppress
liberty, but may not be infringed to uphold liberty.
If it be our fate to see hundreds, nay, millions, of devoted
patriots trodden under the iron heel of despotism, while
a pseudo-Liberal Ministry sits in power, and looks on
with contemptible, nay, sinful complacency, let us re-
sign ourselves to our fate, but lot that Ministry assign
as its reason for so acting a firm intention not to mingle
iu foreign disputes, and let it stick to its principles, bad as
they may be; but do not let us be made ridiculous and
contemptible to the world by our wonderful and sudden
attachment to a nominal treaty; and if England will not
henceforward infringe the treaty of Vienna, let it insist
upon the other parties also acting up to it.
As regards the Hungarians, the treaty of Vienna is
useless. What then must our Government discover to
find them a reason for allowing the barbarians of the
north to crush that noble and valiant people.—Apolo-
gizing for troubling you, I have the honour to subscribe
myself,

A LIBERAL,
and a Constant Reader.
