THE SUN.

LONDON, MONDAY, MA.RCIT 12, 1860,

-.---

The Elections in Central Italy will be closed to-
day. So far as matters have gone the public fervour
is stronger than ever for annexation to Piedmont.
That Tuscany will be true to her purpose there
seems little or no doubt, notwithstanding the sinis-
ter under currents running against the national
spirit. Every day and every act of Louis
NAPOL7e.:ON seem only the more strongly to confirm
our first impression of his duplicity in respect to
having his cousin elected as Icing of that envied
country. If that could be effected, we know not
where his grasping policy would stop. But he
must wait a bit. The Italians have learnt some
political wisdom, in addition to their individual
and national freedom ; and they are not likely to
throw it away in the belief of greater blessings
under the whip of any member of the present
Imperial family of France. So far as events
may point a moral, the past are pregnant
with apprehension for the future: The French
Oracle has hitherto spoken in rather ambiguous
language, but as the horizon clears up—images are
becoming more distinct, and Imperial intentions
seem to assume sterner development. That NAPO-
LEON is bent on Savoy and Nice is now openly
avowed, but it is not considered politic yet to dis-
close what he would be at with regard to Tuscany.
His hesitation is only to be considered as the result
of reconsideration, for he sees:that the temper of the
Time is rather against him. Were he to avow
that he wants Tuscany as well as Savoy, Europe
would look very suspicious, and perhaps call him
to account. That he feels himself strong enough
for any one there can be little doubt, but if the whole
Combine his downward path like that of his Uncle
wouldbe more precipitate and slippery than he con-
templates.
Nor is he very secure as to the feeling
entertained at home. Some, and these not
a few, of the varied interests—be they Pro-
tectionist or Liberal—are not quite sure of
their present
position, and therefore doubt—
but wait the chapter of accidents. But more than
all, the priests are privately h'
enemies—and he
knows that priuts never forgive. They may
forget favours, but only in hopes of
getting more.
However fortunate the Linperor
NAPOLEON
may have been in his very
_chequered career, he
may yet take a step in
The full presumption-a his
destiny and slip beyond reeeviry-. At present he seems
to be playing with two-edged tools without assur-
ance that his own dexterity may not be leading him
into danger. Once afloat the excitement and the
favourable breeze may induce him to make more
sail; but there is such a term as to be " taken
aback" in a sudden squall, which gave no ;61,313 or
its coming, and no mercy to its victim.

Notwith*tandilig the pleasaut appearance of
