VISIT OF BARON BEUST TO LONDON.
We read in the Vienna Presse:—" Baron Beust
went to London to enter into personal relations with
the leading statesmen of England, or rather to re-
new those relations with them, for since the confe-
rence on Danish affairs he has been held in esteem
in London. When it is considered that people here
await with the greatest impatience the arrival of
this politician, since it now rests with him to make
the new machine of the state work, it is evident that
important reasons must have determined him to spend
even so short a period as two days in the English
capital. Among those reasons the chief one is the
desire to realise the long-promised understanding
with the western powers, and to act in this way on
Prussia through the medium of England. But,
besides this, we believe we can affirm with certainty
a thorough consideration will be given to the Italian
question. The Emperor Napoleon desires, as is
known, that a conference should take place. Austria
considers that she ought not to oppose any obstacle
to it ; but she would not lend herself to that kind of
proceeding unless England consented to join in the
conference. Baron Beust wishes to know what posi-
tion it is best to maintain on that question. As for
ourselves we are in no wise partisans of the pro-
j.3eted conference. The conference which took place
in regard to Luxemburg had an end traced out
beforehand, especially after France had declared
that she renounced any desire for the acquisition of
the principality. Whether the town should be
evacuated or not was the issue. Can the Roman
question be defined in that way? Evidently not.
Europe will no more decide to abolish the temporal
sovereignty of the Pope than to guarantee it. The
majority of the Powers convoked will leave the
solution of the question to events, and, since
France has thrown herself between Rome and
Italy, upon the Cabinet of the Tuileries will rest i❑
the first instance the care of all that shall follow. It
is not necessary to be endowed with the gift of pro-
phecy to perceive that England will not bind herself
to the project of a conference ; and in that case
Austria must not only refuse to take part in it, but
even decline any responsibility for what may occur
at Rome. Let us not assume the position either of
champion or oppressor of the Holy See ; let us not
meddle with things which in no way concern us.
