THE SUN.
LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 5, 1860.

We print, in another part, two very important
circulars, the one to Turin, the other to England,
stating the intended or present policy of the Em.
peror NAPOLEON with regard to Italy. It were
idle to speculate on the effect which these missiles
will create in the minds of England, Sardinia, and
Italy aye, and Europe too. Some people
are cursed with too much good luck,
and mistake their mission, turning that to evil
which was meant for good to themselves and all
with whom they are concerned. But the Emperor
NAPOLEON seems to laugh at the very fate which
hastens him to his doom. We wish him joy of it !
The hour has not yet come, but the hand of destiny
is up ready to strike the knell of his fate. He
has worsted Austria for a time, and sup-
poses he has finished the work. Let him
wait a bit. That same Austria, devoted to her
doom, will yet play him as false as his heart
is sanguine of success. Does he think that this
country, England, can stand by and countenance
his audacity in making plans day by day—each
more insulting than the other ?—that Italy
which has suffered so much already is to be
at his nod and beck—in order that the
original conception of placing his cousin on the
throne of Tuscany may be realised ? his game has
faltered in more respects than one already, and if
he yet hope to prosper he had better let the
wish of the Italians be consumated by the complete
deliverance of their country without any more in-
terference than to help them on—not to divert
them from an object so very dear to their hearts.

Mr. BRIGHT'S speech in the House of Commot a
on Friday evening affords, in everY3 s it,
full and complete justification for everything
have ever written about himself and his peace-at.
Any-price policy. It was a speech which, from its
Nagrant pusillanimity, was unworthy to have fallen
fri nn the lips of an Englishman. It contained
wit.hin it the expression of sentiments arising out
of an Titter prostration before the dominant will of
the po, Nlerful chief of 600,000 soldiers, the imperial
ruler of )r.lry nearly 40,000,000 of Frenchmen. No
wonder that views so particularly small, and it
night ir be added even craven, should have
