LONDON, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 29, 1860.

The plot thickens in respect to Savoy. Last
evening Mr. KINGLAKE would take no denial to
his motion, and his perseverance was crowned with
success. Tie was most ably—aye, enthusiastically
—supported by Sir ROBERT PEEL, and Ministers
deemed it the better part of valour to be discreet in
making a timely surrender. The fact is, the
Cabinet, as Englishmen, are as much alarmed at the

future aspect of events as the nation at large.
Hence the manly but cahtions observations of Sir
GEORGE GREY, and even of Lord JOHN RUSSELL,
in assuring the House that the Emperor NAPO.
LEON was too prudent to covet any accession
of territory such as Savoy, lest it might
prove, in the end, a very troublesome, if not
a very doubtful gain. In fact, it might
unsettle Europe. And so it would. Where, then,
would be the gain to the Emperor NAPOLEON or to
France ? For France may be, and no doubt is, too
strong for Austria, as she has lately proved ; but
against the world in arms, even the chivalry of our
warlike neighbours would look rather askance.
Indeed Sir GEORGE GREY said that the Government
did not differ from the general tenor of the
observations of the two gentlemen (Mr. KINGLAKE
and Sir R. PEEL), and he believed there was not
a man in the House who did not earnestly deprecate
the annexation of Savoy to France—a sentiment
that was received with hearty cheers. Lord JOHN
RUSSELL went even farther. But we must refer
to his speech. He said that he did not believe there
was any treaty concluded between France and Sar.
diniaprerioas to the war. At least he was so in-
formed-. No doubt he Was. It was not likely that
those concerned in the plot would let our Government
into the secret. They knew better. A morning
contemporary in referring to this subject observes :
" It is not likely that the prime movers of the
conspiracy will ever willingly come forward and
disclose the parts they have played. Neither
VICTOR EMMANUEL, nor CANOUR, nor NAPOLEON,
will voluntarily affix so indelible a stigma on their
reputation. Secrecy was their aim, or we should
not he denouncing in the nineteenth century a new
paste de fittnille, recording ambitious designs and
treacherous concessions, subversive of the European
equilibrium and dangerous to the peace of the
world. Mr. KINGLAKE tells us that on the eve of
the marriage of the Princess CLOTHILDE of Savoy
with the Emperor's cousin a 'mete do fcuttille was
signed, Promising aid, offensive and defensive, to
Sardinia, the K •'Noon his side promising Savoy and
Nice in retun for
whatever possessions he might
gain in Lombardy. 'This
was in March, 1859. Lord
CoIVIEY, directed by Lord M.ALMEsPURY to ask a
quetion on the subject, was assured by M
..rAT.E\V-
r that there was no treaty. Of couise not. Count
CAVoult and. LOUIS NAPOLEON knew better ti an
to sign a treaty at that early stage of the con-
spiracy ; but a pacts (le
.famille would entirtly
throw the st raightfor ward Englishman off the scent.
It was necessary to hoodwink the English nation
and parade a gcnuinesymPathy with Italian liberty.
Nothing could be more calculated to disguise the
real grounds for French intervention in Italy than
the premature disclosure of any scheme of French
aggrandisement. And, therefore, 31. WALEWSKI
