The true polic
Italy we should
its fitting organ . interprete. th, ,Jereet-TI of
Count Cavour. The despatch of that statesman of
Feb. 29, in reply to M. Thouvenel's commueicition
to Baron Talleyrand, marks out to all Europe the
divergence between the national policy of the Court
of Turin and the last, and by means most satisfac-
tory, of the many phases which it has been our lot
to witness in the policy of the Tuilerit s. The
trumpet of Sardieian diplomacy gives f,rth no un-
certain'sound. With the same mastery over forms
with which we have long been familiar in the pi b
lie manifestoes of Count Cavour, there is combine 1
the same clear insight into facts, and the seine •
vigorous, serried logic. M. Thouvenel is no mat h
for the Piedmontese controversionist ; and we au.-
feet that even M. Thouvenel's master will be un-
able to escape from the conviction that he, to 6, is
confronted by all the difficulties and dangers,
Whether of a political or religices charreter, which
the military ttil given to the Italian people had, at
the conclusion of the war, bat partially removed,
and to which the moral influences and national
feelings evoked since the peace have hit a tenfold
vigour. There has been, it is impossible to dtny, a
change, within even the last few days, in the Italian
policy of the French Government. The saying,
which an Eastern monarch had graven on his ling,
" He who keeps on a straight pat:i, can never lose
his way," contains a moral quite as applicable to
Sovereigns of Western Europe in -the nineteenth
century. The French Government, regret to
say, appears to have entered on a pails, where it
must inevitably displease all Powers and parties—
whether the partisans of ancient legitmicy, or ti.e
champions of popular rights and regenerated na-
tionalities. Austria may not openly oppose, but
will not the less cordially detest, the Power N% hick
prevents the unconditional restorAion to their
thrones of her vassal princes.
The feelingin favour of the union with Sardinia
has so strongly taken hold of the people of Central
Italy, that the recommendation given to Tuscany
to preserve its autonomy, and the proposed plan of
a -vicariate in the Romagna provinces, have but
little chance of meeting' with a favourAle accept-
ance from either the Tuscan or Romeg-nol popula-
tions.

right have only voted under the pressure of the ter-
rorism to which the dominant party has had re-
course. How could the dethroned So.vtreigns have
been ceabled to make their voices Inlaid in the pre
sense of so violent a state of things ? Would net
the reception which the chiefs of the movement
would have undoubtedly given to thoir moderate
manifestations have struck un irreparable blow at
their dignity, and uselessly compromised their
future?
Whatever reforms the Sovereign of the States
of the Church had the intention of introducing into,
his country, would it have been expedient to intro-
duce them at a moment when a factious assembly
was pronouncing his downfall ?
"Lastly, es to Villafranca. the generous intentions
manifested on this head at Vidafranca by the Em-
peror, our august master. still remain in their in-
tegrity, under the guarantee, let it be well under-
stood; of his independence and autonomy from all
foreign influence. If these intentions have not been
defacto realised, whose fault is it ? Is it not well
known to every one that the Peace of Villafranca
has been to the revolutionary party a signal for re-
doubling an activity of which Venice was at once
the object and the victim.
" Did not the committees formed for this purpose
under the aegis of Sardinia make unheard of efforts
to induce the Venetian provinces to rise ? We ap-
peal in this respect to the testimony of the loyal
and valorous French army, under whose eyes these
manoeuvres took place, and which, we are con-
vinced, shared the feeling of indignation which this
subterranean war, continued under the shade of
a peace which had just been signed, excited among
us. The emissaries of disorder scoured Venetia in
nil directions, everywhere lighting up the fire of
discord. They have succeeded so well that the Go-
vernment has perceived the imperious necessity of
efficaciously protecting, as it had a right to do,
peaceful citizens by measures of severity against
the unreconcilable enemies of public peace. Would
the Imperial Government have acted wisely had it
selected such a moment for executing the intentions
to which M. Thouvenel alludes ? Recapitulating
the series of efforts which the French Government
has made in the interest of the Restoration, the
Minister speaks of the missions intrusted to Count
de Reiset and Prince Poniatowski ; and which, ac-
cording to M. Thouvenel, only failed from the op.
position of the populations.
" But, may we not, without fear of deceiving our-
selves, ascribe also this check in great part to the
assurances which other organs of the French Go.
vernment have given since the peace of Villafranca
and from which the dominating party has derived
the conviction that the employment of force was
excluded from the means to be adopted to bring
about a restoration ? Completely tranquillised by
this promise, the rulers had in appearance an jute.
rest in remaining deaf to the intimations favourable
to the restoration which reached them, and of em-
ploying without any scruple all the means of which
existing authority always disposes to prevent the
veritable opinion of the majority from prevailing.
" However this may be, France did not stop there.
She called for the meeting of a eongress, in the hope
of triumphing, with the co-operation of Europe,
over the resistance which her isolated. plans had
encountered.

The following is the reply of Count de Rea-
berg, already more than once spoken of, to the de-
spatch sent by M. Thouvenel to the Marquis de
Mustier relative to the affairs of Italy :

" The Marquis de Moustier" has aVienna dre tome, and
left me a copy of, two despatches, the text of which
I have the honour of transmitting to your Excel-
lency.
" The first of these documents, addressed to
Count de I'erbigny, speaks of the favourable recep-
tion given by the French Government to the four
propositions of the English Cabinet, which have
for object to pacify Central Italy, and of the con-
tents of which your Excellency is aware from my
despatch of the 30th of January. The second, ad-
dressed to the Marquis de Moustier, is intended to
develop in &tail the motives which induced the
Emperor Napoleon to consider the plan of pacifica-
tion of the English Government as an an accept-
able solution, although this plan is in contradic-
tion for the stipulations of to treaty of Villafranca
and Zurich.
" I hastened to submit to the Emperor, our
august master, the despatches which the French
amassador left with me, and I am now prepared
to make known to you the impression which they
produced on his Majesty's mind.
" My despatch to Count A poll) i of the 20th of
Jan., and which you have cominunicatsd to M.
Thouvenel, already indicates the reasons which pre-
vent us from accepting the combination proposed
by the English Cabinet. These reasons are so evi-
dent that they could not have escaped the perspica-
city of the French Government. The latter does
not, therefore, ask for our approbation of the pro-
ject of making the future destinies of Central Italy
depend on a vote of the people, but confines itself
to expressing a wish that we should abstain from
any formal opposition to the execution of this plan.
" In expressing that opinion, we readily do jus-
tice to the enlightened judgment of M. Thouvenel,
who himself forms so just an estimate of the
exigencies of our position. Let us throw a glance
_on the state of affairs end go back in idea to the
date which serves as the starting point for the Mi-
nister of Foreign Affairs.
" At the period of the signature of the prelimi-
naries of Villafranca the Emperor Napoleon, as M.
Thouvenel states, conceived the hope that the new
organisation of Italy might be reconciled with the
re-establishment of the legitimate powers. That
hope, which in the mind of the Emperor Francis
Joseph amounted to a conviction, animated the two
Sovereigns when they took each other's hand to put
an end to the effusion of blood. The Emperor, our
august master, thus consented to make a painful
sacrifice, but under the condition that the legitimate
authorities would be reinstated in Central Italy.
" In the interest of the restoration of peace, and
iu the hope that it would be consolidated by a com-
plete understanding with his old adversary, and be
rich in salutary results, he decided on renouncing
those rights and titles on which he might have sup-
ported himself; but he positivelyrefused to consent
to combinations which would have injured the
rights of third parties, and particularly of princes
who had calculated on his alliance. To oppose a
barrier to the more and more encroaching progress
of revolution by the restoration of the dethroned
sovereigns, and to assist the efforts of the Emperor
of the French, who had a project of satisfying the
aspirations of national feelings by a close union of
the Governments of the Italian Peninsula, by means
of a federative alliance—such was the two-fold ob-
jects of the acts of Villafranca and Zurich, as well
as of the exchange of ideas which took place be-
tween the two Cabinets at Biarritz, with the prin-
cipal intention of following a uniform course in
order to secrre the execution of the political part of
the stipulations of peace.
" The Emperor has not changed his opinion as to
the situation cf Italy. His Majesty still thinks, as
at Villafranca, that it would be cherishing a dan-
gerous illusion to flatter one's self with the possi-
bility of founding a durable and regular order of
things by a flagrant infringement of rights con-
secrated by centuries and by European treaties.
France,' says M. Thouvenel, yields to none in her
regard for the sanctity of obligations contracted.'
We also entertain the same ssntiment, and it is
precisely on that account that we should deeply re-
gret to see the treaty which has just been conclu-
ded between ourselves and France remain unexe-
euted in its stipulations of considerable importance.
Of course, if' the restoration should not be realized,
the Confederation would also remain a dead letter.
" What woltld be the consequence ? The gener-
ous thought in which the two Emperors met at
Villafranca would be condemned to remain sterile.
And what are the obstacles which cause its failure ?
Without any intention to under-estimate-them, we
are very far from thinking them so insurmountable
as they appear to M. Thouvenel. We reserve for
a future despatch whatever more we have to say
upon this subject.
"Lastly, the Emperor, for his own part, thinks
the solution of the question is to be sought on the
bases of the preliminaries of Villafranca, all the
stipulations of which, in a legal point of view, form
but one complete whole. We could never consent
to co-operate in any combinations which should not
take into account the reserves made in the Treaty
of Zurich in favour of the rights of the dethroned
Sovereigns. In the presence of results so opposed
to our legitimate expectations we should feel it
morally impossible for us to sanction them by our
assent. This attitude—and the French Govern-
ment itself is too just, I am convinced, not to ap-
prove of it—is in the eyes of the Emperor, our
august master, not only a question of honour, but
also the expression of a profound political convic-
tion

The supply of beasts in to-day's market was only mode-
rate ; nevertheless, the demand for all kinds ruled inactive,
at Monday's currency. We rave to repre a slow inquiry
for sheep, the show of which was rather limited, yet previ-
ous rates were supported. The few lambs on offer were a
dull inquiry, at from 6s to 6s 8d per Bibs. Calves were in
short supply and steady request, at 2d per 81bs. more
money. The best veal was worth quite Gs per 81bs. Pigs
were firm in price ; but much cows sold heavily.

stTlath Proprietors beg most respectfully to call the attention
e trade, noblemen, clergy, Arc., and the public in general,
to their extensive stock of Choice Wines, of rare vintages.
nonnows and Co. are not disposed to comment upon the
purity of their wines, which is daily most laudably acknow-
edged by the public and eminent medical men of all coun-
tries, as the increasing patronage of the highest families in
the land is a sufficient guarantee.
....They beg to call particular attention to their pure Tonic
stomac
nines, as being so valuable to Invalids and persons of weak
hs.
A sample case, containing three full-sizihd wine bottles,
Will be forwarded to any address on receipt of P. 0.0. for 6s.

It is a well-known fact that impure and adulterated wines
are the greatest foes to health, producing acidity in the
stomach, and debilitating the d'gestive organs, while pure
'ines will accelerate the digestive powers, invigorating,
strengthening, and bracing the nervous system.
Their Tonic Wine is admitted to be most essential to in-
/rands, both old and young, and should never be absent from
the homes of the weak and sickly. Its properties are duly
acknowledged and appreciated by the leading men of the
faculty, both at home and abroad.
To prevent imposition each bottle is sealed with the name

MEAT MARKETS.
NENVOATR 4ND LEADENSIALL. The supplies of meat
tolerably good, and the trade generally rules inactive, as fol-
lows :—Beef, from 3s 4d to 4s 4d ; mutton, 3s 6d to 4s Gd ;
lamb, Os Od to Os Od ; veal, 4s 8d to 5s 4d ; pork, 3s 6d
to 6s 2d per 81bs. by the carcase.
SOUTMALL, March 7.—The supplies of each kind of
stock in to-day's market were only moderate, and the
trade ruled steady, at full prices, viz. : Beef, from 3s
Gd to 4s 8d ; mutton, 3s Sd to 5s 8d ; veal, 4s Gd to 5s 6d ;
pork, 3s Gd to 4s 10d per 81bs to sink the offal.
ROMFORD, March 7.--Prime stock sold readily, other
kinds slowly, as follows :—Beef, from 3s Gd to 4s 10d ;
mutton, 4s Od to Os 8d ; lamb, Os Od to Os Od ; veal,
4s 4d to 6s Gd ' • and pork, 45 Od to os Od per 81bs ; suckling '
calves, 14s 'to 19s; quarter old store pigs, 23s to 29s each;
milch cows, £l4 Os to £lB Os each.

And if the proposed compromise be regarded,
l which it certainly will be, as a concession to the
clamours and the menaces of the Vatican, it would
exhibit but slight knowledge of the temper of the
Sacred College to augur from such a concession on
the part of the Imperial Government a corres-
ponding pliancy on the part of that of Rome. In
the opening paragraphs of his despatch Count
Cavour frankly avows that Sardinian gratitude
has its limits in those very moral and political
necessities which Prance herself has mainly con-
tributed to create; and, as regards the policy of
England, we can only repeat the truth which the
English Government has constantly proclaimed,
and to which the English Parliament, the English
press, and the English people have given their
sanction—that England, having but one object and
ann in view, to secure to the Italians the undis-
turbed settlement of their affairs, must approve or
disapprove of any scheme for an Italian arrange-
ment exactly in proportion as it shall rt cognise or
reject the elements of popular will and of national
aspirations.

The simple fact is, that the French Government,
whilst resisting the Ultramontane patty in France,
has been played upon by, and induced to play into
the hands of, the Ultramontane patty iu
Whilst combating the diplomatic notes of Cardinal
Antonelli, and replying to the a!loeutions and ad.:-
dresses and epistles of Pope Pius, it has fallen
into the very snare which the wily Churchman
has laid both for it and for the Italian people.
Count Cavour truly remarks that the feeling of
the population of Central Italy, their conscious-
ness of having a full right respecting their future
fate, and the strength and the Political attitude
which they have assumed, have been greatly in-
creased by the frequently and formally renewed
declarations of the imperial Government, that no
special form of government shall be imposed upon
them by force. That declaration has acted as a
check on all reactionary intrigues, on all Austrian
and Papal machinations. There is not the slightest
hope that the votes of the di&rent Legislative As-
semblies, the declaration of the communes, the
views of the great landed proprietors, the adhesions
of the Chambers of Commerce, or the demonstra-
tions of the literary and scientific bodies, would be
at all changed or cancelled by a fresh appeal to their
suffrages. But there is a chance that a similar
appeal, if grade to the lowest, most ignorant, most
prejudiced, and most bigoted portion of the popu-
lation, to thoi.e whom the agencies of a grovelling
superstition still keep in thraldom to their priests
—there is a chance that a similar appeal
might meet with, at least, a partial success. It
would be -something to produce before Europe a
minority, which, though in tellect ua al,- and morally-,
socially and politically, insigniiiennt, might still,
en its men: bars were counted up, be name) i-
cally formidable. A voto by univermal suffrage will
include these classes. Upon these classes the in-
fluence of the priests can be brought directly to
bear. It can be brought to bear directly upon
them at any time; but. just at the present moment,
at this very season of the year—in Lent—it can be
exercised with peculidr dexterity and force. The
peasant himself, his wife, his mother, his sister, or
his bride, must all apply for their Easter tickets for
communion. Only through the grating of the con-
fessional can the application be made ; only through
that grating will a favourable answer be received-
Millions who, at no other season of the year, are
brought so directly and so surely int• contact with
their spiritual directors, will, if only through the
force of ancient habit, be once were submitting
themselves to their guidance: and it at such a
moment that these very masses are called upon to
take part in a political act which they will be told
is contest betvVeen heaven and hell, between. the
Blessed Virgin and the Archfiend himself. If we
are rightly informed, the Tuscan Government was
so perfectly aware of the part which the Confes-
sional was designed to play in influencing the
people on an appeal to universal suffrage, that in
its reply to the communication of the Sardinian
Cabinet, it requested that the election-should either

"As this hope was also ours, we consented to
take part in the Congress, after having acquired the
certainty that the French plenipotentiaries would
act with those of Austria in a spirit of complete ac-
cord, in order to cause to be respected the sovereign
right reserved by the Treaty of Zurich and to op-
pose annexationist tendencies.
" Things were in that state, when an unexpected
event sensibly modified the situation. To favour
plans of which the object was to encroach on the
territorial integrity of the States of the Church,
would have been to alter the bases of the under-
standing so happily established between ourselves
and France; for the maintenance of that integrity
had previously been considered in the negotiations
between the two Cabinets as a question beyond the
pale of discussion, and Art. 20 of the Treaty of
Zurich considered it in the same point of view.
" While people in all parts were asking them-
selves what success the meeting of a Cougress.under
the influence of such an important change in cir-
cumstances could obtain, France herself took the
decision of adjourning it to an indefinite period.
" The French Government has expressed regret
at the objections which were raised against the
meeting of the plenipotentiaries at the very moment
at which they were about to assemble. We believe
that we have proved that the obstacles which have
arisen at all phases of the affair ware not caused
by uq.
"In his account of the situation, 111. Thouvenel
examines the question wheth,r the restoration can
be brought about by the armed intervt.ntion of
Austria or of France, and he comes to the conclu-
sion that such a restoration is morally impossible
by either.

" It is important for us to distinguish here be-
tween the question of principle and the question of
opportuneness. Political motives of different kinds,
of which, for our part, we understand the value,
counsel the two nations to abstain from armed in-
tervention in Central Italy. We are anxious on
the other hand to establish that the application of
the principle invoked by Franco is subject to many
variations which depend on the nature of circum-
stances. It is certain that Sardinia has exercised
on behalf of the insurrection of Central Italy an
intervention, without which that insurrection would
not have been consolidated. The French Govern-
ment, though it secs in the principle of non-inter-
vention an international rule of great authority,
confesses itself that the rule is not without excep-
tion, and that it intervened on its part in Italy be-
cause it ceded to imperative circumstances, and
that its interests necessarily imposed on it the ob-
ligation of doing so ?
" M. Thouvenel, after having excluded from all
arrangements the application of externll violence,
asks if everything ought to be abandoned to chance
at the risk of seeing revolutionary ideas take vio-
lently the place of the monarchical ideas which
have hitherto characterised the Italian movement.

" The greater the hope which a cordial under-
standing with France gave birth to for putting an
end to the complications of Italy, the more we re-
gret our inability to coincide in the opinion which
the Cabinet of the Tuileries seems to hold relative
to the fourth English proposition. But, if 'we de-
plore this divergence of opinion, we cherish the
hope of which M. Thouvenel has been the elegant
organ in saying that 'if a difference of opinion
could and sometimes must lead to a different judg-
ment, it was not necessary, when the honour of
both parties is safe, that it should result in disas-
trous conflicts so far from the intentions of both
France and Austria.'

"In reply to this question, we can only express
our sincere desire to see a prompt solution of the
Italian complications, which shall be in accord with
the general interest, and shall consequently afford
a pledge of duration and stability. Would the ar-
rangement proposed by the Government of Great
Britain possess such a character? We avow, after
having seriously reflected, that we doubt it.
We do not disguise from ourselves that the pro-
longation of the state of uncertainty which afflicts
Central Italy may deflnitively.bring about the over-
flow of demagogic spirit which. M. Thouvenel ap-
pears to fear. But it is also impossible for us not to
fear that, a solution which would comprise the
triumph of the principles which the
party is accustomed to invoke would, fdenarabforgomic
from conjuring those dangers, he rather calculated
to augment them.

"Vienna, Feb. 17.
"The French Government, before definitively
stating its opinion on the fourth English proposi-
tion, has deemed it indispensable to retrace and jus-
tify its situation towards ourselves, and the Courts
of Berlin and St. Petersburg.
" We are too mindful of the care which M. Thou-
venel has devoted to the accomplishment of this
task not to attach, on our parts, some importance to
completely explaining the motives of the attitude
which we think it our duty to assume. With this
view, we shall follow M. Thouvenel in the historical
exposition contained in his despatch.
" Among the obstacles which have arisen against
the realisation of the hope conceived by the Empe-
ror Napoleon of being abled to conciliate the new
organisation of Italy with the preceding dynasties,
the Minister of Foreign Affairs mentions the inac-
tion and passive attitude of the chiefs of those dy-
nasties, the hesitation of the Sovereign of the States
of the Church to grant reforms, and, lastly, the
silence which Austria has obstinately kept on the
subject of the generous intentions which were ex-
pressed to the Emperor Napoleon relative to the
administration of Venetia.

“DE RECHBERG.”

" Let us be allowed to ask in what manner the de-
throned princes could have acted in the situation in
which they had been placed. It is useless to re-euu-
merate the causes which led to the insurrection of
Central Italy. Those events now belong to the do-
main of history, It was Sardinia who, after preparing
the movement a long time before, made herself mas-
ter of it in order to make it serve her purposes. It
was the Sardinian agent who reorganised the admini-
stration by proscription of all the elements suspected
of attachment to the old order of things; it was
Sardinian officers who formed the army of the
League. Even now it is the Minister of War of his
Sardinian Majesty, who is at the same time the
general in-chief of the army of the League, and
several Sardinian generals now direct the military
preparations going on at Bologna..
" The insurgent provinces are placed under the
system of military dictatorship. Any step in favour
of the legitimate Sovereigns is prosecuted as a crime
of high treason. Five-sixths of the population are
excluded from the operation of voting, and those
who have been admitted to exercise their electoral

THE TELEGRAPH TO INDIA.—The following is
an extract of a letter from the agent of the Peninsular and
Oriental Company at Aden, dated the 18th of February,
1860 :—" The telegraphic line between this and Kurrachee
is in first-rate order. Mr. Gordon had offered to send any
message I had to send to India. A message left this at
2.12 p.m., and at 2.22 p.m. we had an answer back from
Kurrachee acknowledging the receipt, thus only taking 10
minutes from here to Kurrachee and back. This was the
day after the junction was made."

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Parir
is about per mile d, and the short exchange on London is
25.10 • per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the
English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard
gold, it appears that gold is at about 2-10ths per cent, dearer
in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the
price of gold is 422 per mark, and the short exchange on
London is 13.31 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the
English Mint price is therefore about 1-10th per
cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of ex-
change at New York on London for bills at GO days' sight is
about 109 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint
proportions between the two countries, shows that the ex-
change is slightly against England ; and, after making
allowance for charges of transport and difference of inte-
rest, the present rate leaves no Profit on the importation
of gold from the United States.
