THE SUN.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 12, 1860.

In ene respect even Mr. GLADSTONE himself
will look with satisfaction on our "enoamous esti-
mates." The hon. gentleman is at least a staunch
friend to Italian liberties, and we hardly need
remind Mm how much our £30,000,000 for the
army and navy have had to do with the present
fair prospects for Italy: If GARIBALDI be dictator
in the city of POERIO, whom Mr. GLADSTONE was
the first to vindicate, and, in vindicating him, the
first to call European attention to the horrors of
Neapolitan tyranny, we may thank our powerful
navy especially for this. Italians are well aware
of it. It is worth while that Englishmen should be
aware of it. For no object not strictlynational would
the great majority of Englishmen more cheerfully
submit to a little extra taxation, than for the
liberties of Europe—of Italy, and of Hungary
especially. We believe the investment to be a
good one too. Wherever we gain liberties
for the peop:e we find them disposed to trade with
us. We have not a doubt that emancipated Italy
will become to us such a commercial customer as
she would not have been for a century under her
despots. Free Piedmont is proving this already.
But, even without the commercial advantages sure
to follow, all Englishmen will rejoice to be able to
speak efficiently on behalf of Italian liberty.
This, thanks to our feet, we have done. Had
we been, as we were a year or two ago, but barely
oa a naval equality with the French, we have
ample proof that their EMPEROR would have as-
sumed a very different tone. We should have
been, perhaps not in the politest language, told in
business. 'LOUIS NAPO-
effect, to mind our own
NAPO-
LEON intended that he himself, not GARIZALDI,
should be dictator in Italy; and once and again he
has thwarted the plans of the great patriot, who
has now completely superseded him. But why
has GARIBALDI been free to carry out his pro-
jects ? Because the British Government and the
British House of Commons said that he should.
Because the British nation which applauded
and cheered GARIBALDI, raised a hundred and
thirty thousand volunteers in a trice, and could
send into the Mediterranean a fleet which was
more than a match for that of •France. We could
say with effect, Italy shall settle her Own affairs,
because we were as competent to enforce our
view as Louis NAPOLEON his—perhaps more so.'
If Italy is not at this moment obliged to bow to a
" confederation" of the BOURBON, the POPE, and
the King of SARDINIA, with perhaps the present
ruler of Venetia included, she may thank our "esti-
mates." Some consolation this, that the very
money which makes us safe at home, achieves the
second thing which Englishmen care for—it makes
us, without bloodshed, liberators of the nations.

The very last piece of Imperial impertinence—
mingled impertinence and cunning probably—is a
corroboration of our view. The Marches and
Umbria are in insurrection. The old Algerine
LAmoßicimE threatens to repeat the massacres
and pillage of Perugia at any town that dares to
move. The King of SARDINIA advances a large body
of troops to protect the Italians of the States of the
Holy Father, threatened by the bloodhounds of his
HolinePs. VICTOR EMMANUEL could do no other-
wise unless he meant to renounce the object to
which he has avowed his devotion,—that of
relieving the anguish of Italy. "What does, there-
fore, the Emperor of the FRENCH but read his 11IA-
JESTY a public lecture through a Parisian journalist.
VICTOR EMMANUEL is warned not to commit an
aggression which must separate him from the
perial Policy—warned that the Protector of the
Pope
must disapprove of assistance given to
armed insurrection in the Papal provinces; warned
that Piedmont must not renounce respect for inter-
national rights (France being so respectful towards
them herself), which alone can preserve the French
alliance, and must not commit a political fault
which would be a misfortune for Italy.
Now 411 this is jugglery or impertinence, or both
