THE SUN.

LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 27, 1860,

The older despots are in great dismay. Well
they may be. One trouble, and perhaps if they
dare to speak out, the greatest, is that, the fear of
which brought SOHN GILPIN down from his horse,
although on the point of starting for his wedding
day frolic—and well will it be for our grand
monarchs if they, in their line, can imitate the
thrifty self-denial of the immortal London draper.
The other trouble is the alliance between France
and Sardinia, a trouble intimately connected with
the other, since the want of florins and roubles is
the only thing which prevents them from attempt-
ing to rid themselves of the alliance trouble in the
old and approved method. Fighting, however,
costs money—and Austria and Russia have paid so
much for their last wars, that they have less than
nothing left for a new one. The war of words and
councils, however, costs nothing, and that is now
commencing in apparent earnest.
The intention of the proposed meeting at Warsaw,
if we may believe Prince GORTSCHAKOFF'S state-.
ments to the Duke of MONTEBELLO, the French
Ambassador at St. Petersburg, is to counterwork the
dangers of the French and Sardinian Alliance.
That alliance, divesting the language of its mag-
niloquent diplomatic ford, encourages the aspira-
tions of the nationalities to regain their natural
institutions and their " natural boundaries." And
Russia "would fail in her mission if she did not,
in common with other States threatened, raise her
voice in defence of social order and monarchical
interests." It must be owned that three great
Powers have much cause for fear. France now is
a homogeneous nation, and Sardinia, even if she
annex the whole of Italy, will be the same. Russia,
Austria, and Prussia are all made up of the spoils of
other nations. Poland, especially, is the spot which
they cannot wash out, and unhappy Austria is
perplexed with almost as many languages as the
tower of Babel. All three, Russia and Austria
more particularly, live in perpetual dread of retri-
bution. Italy is all enthusiastic for union ; all
France is united, and has not a single department,
perhaps not even that of Savoy after all, wishing
for separate Government. But Austria is a mere
political expression for a combination of nations,
every one of whom hates her perfidious and cruel
rule ; and Poland feels the same in regard to
r ussla. It cannot be denied, therefore, that France
is an entire Contrast to the two Empires, and that
she is both aiding Italy in becoming one nation like
herself, and has held language with regard to the
nationalities of Europe
which must greatly
annoy those who for so long have kept them in
cruel bondage. At the same time the despots know
in their hearts that, whatever might become
of their greatness and grandeur, were Poland
and Hungary as free as Italy is likely to become,
the result would be a boon indeed to the commerce
and the social order of the countries, and to the
peace and, we may add, the exchequers of Europe.
Huge standing armies are needed chiefly to keep
down nationalities. Austria and Russia could dis-
pense with three-fourths of their armies if they
were not oppressors, and France would have no
pretext for maintaining her vast army if the other
Powers reduced theirs. Europe, indeed, would not
permit it.

There seems, however, to be some hope that their
very armies and their oppressions will become their
own punishment. We have now the authentic
balance-sheet of Austria, and it is a revelation
indeed ; one which, had it -.:elated to our own budget
in this country, would have sent consols down,
perhaps, to 50. T'3e Reichsrath has done some-
thing, if it has only dragged to light the real state
