Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S despatch of the 31st of
August is now before us in his own words. We

felt, of course, some little hesitation in criticising
the retranslation of a translation, as a slight

turn of expression might make a serious differ.

ence in the character of a document of this kind,

We have no such restraining considerations now ;
but we are sorry to say that our terms of regret

and censure could hardly have been too strong,

We are accustomed to think of France as the Die•

tator to Piedmont, and repeatedly has this country

felt grieved and annoyed that the Italian KING

should be checked and thwarted continually by the
vetos of a French EMPEROR. All those prohibi-
tions being, as might be expected, in the interest of
France, so far as its interest was the ignoble one of
a weak and divided Italy. England was not,
however, prepared for her own Government rival-
ing France in the same mean unworthy line. And
we believe that nothing Lord JOHN RUSSELL has
done, since his last advent to power, has so damaged
him as this inconsistent despatch—inconsistent,
alike, with the well-known sentiments of the coun-

try he represents to Europe, and with Lord JOHN
RUSSELL himself speaking in the British!House of
Commons. England is deeply mortified that patriots
abroad, and despots too, should judge of her by this

document.
If our readers will glance at it again, they will,
we think, object decidedly to the substantial en-
couragement given to Austria, to the discourage-
ment of the Italian patriots, and, not least, to the
tone of superiority in which the King of SARDINIA
is told of his " duty," his " interest," his " Royal
word," and the danger of "pernicious delusions."
Lord JOHN RUSSELL ought to understand the eti-
quette of Government correspondence far better
than we can pretend to do ; but we can only say
that, if in social life, we were lectured in similar
style, in regard, we may suppose, to some muni-
cipal or parish duties, we should feel that our cen-
sor was quite wanting in the higher sentiments
which belong to good breeding. We should pro-
.bably not trouble him with a reply. Certainly not,
unless we thought that his misrepresentations might
injure an important cause in the eyes of others.
It is obvious, at first sight, that the drift of the
whole despatch is to save Austria from attack in

grievance is, that England's Foreign Secretary
should, in a way which was to make his views
public to all Europe, denounce as a wrong to Aus-
tria what, if it be a wrong, is the only thing
which can put an end to Italian revolutions. We
mean that the junction of Venetia to the rest
of the Italian Kingdom, by whatever means
effected, is a necessity—a necessity which
makes it a virtue to effect it by some
means. All are agreed that if Austria would
recognise the necessity, and sell what she must
some day and in some way surrender, it would be
a most advantageous thing for her. If she will
not, she ought not to be spoken of as having a
" just cause " to defend in Venetia.
Perhaps the worst part of the letter, setting
aside the rudeness of the style of the first half, is
the threat of what the great Powers will do.
They are bent, forsooth, on maintaining peace;
which, in the connection, means, if it be net mere
brutum fultnen, that England as well as the con-
tinental despotisms will net permit the deliverance
of the Venetians. The implied reason, indeed, is
that as Sardinia could not do it alone, France
would be brought into the field, if it were really to
be accomplished ; and that this would kindle a
European war ! But why so ? It would not be
difficult, it would be perfectly easy, to limit any
such war to the fulfilment of J•oUIs NAPOLEON'S
first engagement—the expulsion of the Austrians
from Italy simply.
But it is here, if we mistake not, where the cloven
foot of Court Germanism shews itself in the des-
patch. Lord JOHN, left to himself, would, we are
confident, exult over the expulsion of the Austrians
from Italy—but the Prussians would not, the
Coburgs would not, the Dukes and Grand Dukes
of a score of little German Governments would not
—and we have a German family on the throne of
this country, a family for which it seems all Eng-
land is incompetent to provide husbands and wives,
—and German preferences, fears, and hopes, in-
fluence, perhaps unconsciously, the Foreign
Minister of England. These strange Germans,
content with political serfdom themselves,
content to be cat up into thirty or more frag-
ments of a nation, have no sympathy with
Italian aspirations for liberty and unity ; and, worse
than that, they have got it into their heads that
Germany ought to be a maritime power ! Hence
the ludicrous little navy of Prussia, and the hardly
less ludicrous navy of Austria, are a matter of pride
and ambition to this silly people. They think they
are something better than boatmen on the Rhine
and the Danube when they can hoist a broad pen-
nant over the guns of a frigate or two, manned by
sailors who sleep at night on shore. Another fancy
these Prussians and the other burgesses of Father-
land have got into their heads is, that, for the safety
of Germany, one of her sections must have a strong
corner in Italy ! It never seems to occur to these
wiseacres, that by parity of reasoning, Italy might
ask for a strong corner in Germany.

We must confess we are thankful that the QUEEN
and Lord JOHN RUSSELL are at length got away
from Coblentz Conferences, and direct German in-
fluences. If those influences were strong enough
to procure the writing of such a dispatch as that
on which we now comment, in this country ; we
may well be jealous of what they would effect when
the QUEEN, his Royal HIGHNESS, and Lord JOHN
RUSSELL were in the midst of them, and when fears,
hints, suggestions, whispers, could be exchanged,
with not even the hazard of a letter getting into
the hands of a personage it was least of all meant
for. We welcome back our QUEEN to where she
will at least see every day the press of
her own country, from which she may learn, as cer-
tainly as if Parliament were sitting, what is passing
in the minds of her loyal subjects. One thought,
we are confident, she will find quite universal—that
German counsels ought not to influence those of
England, but English counsels those of Germany.
Another, special to the despatch before us, she will
find equally general—That England ought to dis-
courage Austria in holding Venetia, and rather to
encourage than discourage Sardinia in seeking its
emancipation.

The accomplished member for Pontefract, Mr.
MONCXTON MILNES, has been comparing notes in
regard to the past session of Parliament with his
constituency. The incident is somewhat excep-
tional this autumn. For, saving in the almost
solitary instance of Sheffield, the electors of the
United Kingdom, whether of borough or county,
have found their representatives rather shy of
entering into explanations as to the real purport,

good, bad, or indifferent, of these latest sayings and
doings of the British Commons in Parliament
assembled. Even Mr. BRIGHT has declined for
once having it out with his more ardent supporters
at Birmingham. Representatives alike on the side
of the Opposition and on the side of the Govern-
ment have abstained with remarkable unanimity
from raking up old grievances, from reverting to
past differences, from sustaining in any way what-
ever outside the house the contests which had
happily at last terminated at any rate for the
delightful annual interval of five or six months'
duration from August to February, from the pro-
rogation to the reassembling of the two Houses of
the Legislature. It is hardly to be wondered at,
however, after a moment's reflection, this really
welcome reticence between members and their
constituencies. There was so little of a satisfactory
nature to be recalled to recollection. So much was
left undone—so few of the promised boons of the
session had been obtained—so often the acquisition
of those boons had not even been attempted,
whether by the individual representative who
could be held responsible for them, or by the collec-
tive energies and combined wisdom of her MAJESTY'S

retrospect of sat year, in that instance, fur-

had a word to say upon almost every topic, from
the war in Italy to the Road child-murder, from
Mr. GLADSTONE'S slashing Budget to the famous
and, for that matter, about equally slashing
fight for the championship.
Happily, with Mr. MILNES' speech upon the past
session, and upon recent occurrences, it is wholly
otherwise—it is altogether different. The member
for Pontefract, attempting less, gets satisfactorily
through a great deal more than the member for
B erkshire. His individual retrospect as a mem-
ber of Parliament is, we rejoice to note, in many
respects eminently, in some of them pre-eminently,
entitled to commendation and commemoration. His
regrets in regard to the unhappy Reform Bill have
the maDifest merit of perfect sincerity. His esti-
mate of the Chancellor of the Exchequer's financial
arrangements ariA innovations we cannot but regard
as singularly judicious. His personal course of
proceeding in the matter of the Paper Duty
is one that he can look back to—as few
Liberal members can—with unalloyed and
unmitigated satisfaction. Now says Mr.
MILNES, upon this very question of the Paper
Duty and its proposed abolition—" I have as much
dislike as any one to Excise duties. There is no
mode of taxation more vexatious than the Excise,
and I should be glad to see any Excise duty abo-
lished, whether upon paper or malt, provided the
end can be accomplished without sacrificing too
large a portion of revenue. lam aware that the
House of Commons had previously expressed an
opinion that the paper duty was bad and ought to
be repealed, and I agree with that decision, not only
because it is an Excise duty, but because it checks,
although not in so great a degree as has been repre-
sented,the diffusion of popular literature,and dam ages
the cheap press. No doubt popular literature is to
some extent affected by the paper duty, but the
cheap press is most ably conducted and largely cir-
culatednotwithstanding that the paper duty exists.
It was for me to consider whether the revenue was
in such a position that we could safely afford to
make the sacrifice demanded by the commercial
treaty and the reduction of Customs' duties, and
to add to that the produce of the paper duty. I
did not believe that we were in that position.
I do not say that the £1,000,000 might not have
been made up by some other means—such as sub-
stituting ls. for 10d. in the pound in the income-
tax of the succeeding year. But I thought that
the reduction ought to take place more prudently
and gradually,' and I thought it my duty to vote
against the abolition of the Paper Duty. Very
few members of the House did so, and I was thus
placed in a different position from them when the
Paper Duty Abolition Bill, after passing the
House of Commons by a majority of eight or nine,
was rejected by the House of Lords. As far as the
thing itself was concerned, I could not regret
that that had been done by the House of Lords
for which I voted in the House of Commons—but,"
adds Mr. MILNES " I much regretted that
anything was commenced which gave an appearance
of collision between the two Houses of Parliament."
Se much for the Paper Duty Abolition and the mem-
ber for Pontefract—a scheme of remission (in regard
to a tax intrinsically odious) sympathised in by Mr.
MILNES upon principle, but one at the same time
voted against wisely, honestly, cordially, and con-
scientiously by him—under the actual circumstances!
While so many others were in the wrong—he, at any
rate, has had the satisfaction of finding himself
undeviatingly in the right—from first to last in
the right upon this delicate question—with a per-
fect regard throughout to his political consistency.
The tax suggested to be abolished, he, for one,
would fain have had abolished—but the time
chosen for its abolition he had the sagacity from
the outset to recognise as flagrantly 'rash and
inopportune !

monopoly, the Legislative Council; and Victoria will
then stand forth as she ought—one of England's
richest and most prosperous colonies.
The fault in Victoria was ever to permit a few
interested individuals to have a ruling voice in the
Legislature. We do not lay the fault at the door
of the Colonial Secretary in office when the
constitution was granted; nor do we blame
the Governor of Victoria or his advisers
for acting, as we hope they did, for
the best ; :the penalty will fall upon those who
deserve it, and in charity we may pass it over as
a mistake.

But how about New Zealand. How long
does the British Government require to learn the
nature of the people with whom they have to deal
The Anglo-Saxon race (i. e., English, Scotch, and
Irishmen) are par excellence the colonists of the
world. The French cannot do it; a drill-sergeant
and a lance-corporal cannot make Indian corn and
wheat grow by word of command; the Dutchman
is too slow. It was reserved for English energy
and perseverance to populate the far West, and
to develop the auriferous wealth of the anti-
podes. But with all the advantages with which
nature has endowed us, we labour under the serious
drawback of having incompetent men placed in
authority in positions of great trust. It is not that
colonists want Government to furnish them with
clever and efficient commanders. There are good
men, and true enough, to be found in every com-
munity, in case of necessity, equal to any emer-
gency; but they have a right to object to having in-
capables placed in command of English troops, and
leg:slature giving to them authority to fool away
the prestige of the country. We are glad to find
that Major-Gen. PRATT has taken command. Col.
GOLD, to give him the benefit of the best construc-
tion which can be put upon the late deplorable re-
verse, was not equal to his command ; and if this
rebellion be not put down at once, and with a will,
let these who procrastinate and encourage by a feeble
and vacilating policy, the Maori chiefs who are
now our friends to join with the insurgents and con-
ve rt a local revolt into a general war be held respon-
sible for the results. The Maories muster strong—
what then—why not offer a small bounty in Mel-
bourne for volunteers for New Zealand, say two
years service and then a grant of land subject to
military service, this system answered in South
Africa, why not in New Zealand—there are hun-
dreds of able-bodied men in Victoria, New South
Wales, and South Australia, who would be glad of
the chance. It would be doing a service to the
Australian colonies as well as establishing our posi-
tion in New Zealand. It would take but a short
time to organise these rough levies. The New
Zealanders, although bold men, are no match for
Englishmen at close quarters. They are fine power-
ful men, they will stand fire, but it is not in them
to face bayonets or yet the cutlass and pistol, and
by this, after all, colonial contests are settled. There
will be no necessity to form squares and prepare to
resist cavalry, &c., all that will be required will be
a few guns -to break the pahs. Then " boarders
away"—kill or secure. No terms but unconditional
submission. Let KINGI the. leader of this unpro-
voked outbreak, be hanged, and if necessary a few
of his friends also, and we shall be much surprised
if the Maories (the finest race of savages as yet
known) will not come to their senses.

There is but little information to be gathered
from the last Australian mail ; everything both in
Victoria and New Zealand (the two colonies which
at present attract public attention) is in atatu quo.
The NICHOLSON Ministry are in a fix. Public
opinion and its representatives in the Lower Rouse
on the one side maintaining the constitutional
rights of the people, and the Upper Rouse repre-
senting the squatocracy on the other, keep them at a
standstill. " How happy could they be with either."
But it may not be, Australian legislatures have
sown the whirlwind and they are now reaping the
storm. There was a time when Australia was no-
thing better than a penal settlement, and men who
were content to sacrifice personal comfort, and the
luxuries of civilisation made fortunes in the wil-
derness among the savages. Times are now
changed. The early pioneers of progress have
reaped their reward, and it is not from enterprising
men of this stamp that the advancement of social
progress receives a check, it is from men as it were
of yesterday, such men as Mr. WENTWORTH
wished to elevate into a COLONIAL ARISTOCRACY,
that bona fide emigrants are prevented from settling
down on their own land in the country of their
adoption. The grave mistake was made by
the Executive when Victoria first constituted
an independent colony by calling into existence
a Council Chamber or Upper House, just we sup-
pose to ape the Parliament of the United King-
dom, forgetting altogether that while the House
of Commons and the Legislative Assembly respec-
tively represent the constituencies of the two coun-
tries that there is no tie in commonbetween the House
of Lords and the Legislative Council. The one, in
spite of many faults, at least has the prestige of
long descent and high character. In fact, the
House of Lords is an institution of the country ; it
is not in the power of Royalty itself to interfere
with its rights and privileges, and it is, therefore,
de facto, an independent body. But how of the
Legislative Council ? They are Government nomi-
nees ; and the Squatters, finding that universal
suffrage, in spite of the obstacles which have been
thrown in the way, has proved too strong for them
in the Lower House, have concentrated all their
forces in the Upper House, and, for a time, carried
the day. It is, perhaps, as well as it is ; the result
must be the same in the end, and as a stream which,
while an opening is left for its course, will avoid
collsion with the rocks which bar its progress, when
that opening is closed, gathering up its strength,
sweeps before it in one general ruin the obstacles
which otherwise it would have tolerated, so will
the public feeling in Victoria sweep away that in-
tabus Ito [progress, that last stronghold of falling

LATEST NEWS.

The following telegrams have been received at
Mr. Reuter's office :

PARIS, OCT. 18.

The Patrie announces the concentration of Aus-
trian troops on the frontiers, which, it says, has
caused a similar concentration of Piedmontese

troops.
The Presse asserts that information was received
yesterday at Turin that 4,000 Austrians from
Mantua had crossed the Po, and taken up their
quarters at Revere, which town is still Wider
Austrian dominion. The Press* adds, this news
has produced a sensation at Turin.

GAETA, OCT. 6.
Signor Casella has addressed the following cir.
cular note to the diplomatic corps at Gaeta.
After quoting the decree (which appeared in the
Official Journal of Naples on the 28th ult,) con-
cerning the family of Milano, Signor Qasella says ;
" In bringing the above decree to the cognisance
of Signor -, the undersigned Minister Secretary
of State, President of the Ministerial Council, and
provisionally entrusted with the portfolio of Foreign
Affairs, considers himself justified in abstaining
from any comment on this unqualified measure.
" Revolution has never arrived in any country at
such a degree of perversity and anarchy as to
sanctify regicide, to set a premium upon assassina-
tion, and by this example to officially stimulate the
extermination of Sovereigns ; this, in fact, is not
only done, but done in a city occupied by Pied-
montese troops, by a leader acting in the name of
the King of Sardinia, and who, without being dis-
avowed, has for the last four months assumed the
flag and the name of the latter.

" A man who attempts to assassinate his fellow
man, a soldier who leaves the ranks to kill his
general, a subject who uses his bayonet against his
king; these are deemed martyrs worthy of praise,
of tears, and of rewards, by the Government of
Garibaldi. And this apotheosis is publicly made
in the journals of Naples, and in the name of King
Victor Emmanuel are rewards given and offered to
regicides.

"Such an example speaks more forcibly than all
declamations upon the miserable moral condition
into which the kingdom has fallen, and of the
anarchy which, after the triumph of invasion, has
possessed the country with its designs.
" The undersigned considers it unnecessary to
protest against this scandalous decree, since all the
sentiments of morality, honour, and religion which
exist in the heart of man protest for themselves.
" The undersigned denounces this decree to the
justice of Europe as one of the clearest of the many
proofs of the tendencies of the men who, by foreign
force, and profiting by unheard•of treason, have
usurped the most considerable part of the kingdom
of the Two Sicilies.—The undersigned profits, &c.
