The accounts from abroad all harp more or less
oa the state of Italy, and what will be done with
the Duchies and their deservedly exiled Princes.
One thing is very clear, that the Emperor NAPO-
LEON is playing a game of his own wholly at
variance with that attempted by his imperial
brother FRANCIS JOSEPH. In fact, it is a family
affair altogether, and a sharp question of rivalry.
How it may end is not so easy to foresee ; but if
NAPOLEON be true to his promise to the now free

..._
and enthusiastic Italians, he will not in the long

run have cause for regret.
The Emperor of AUSTRIA may bluster without
remedy. He had better reform at home before he
stretch too far into what are now foreign lands to
him. So long as he puts faith in the councils of
antiquated German Counts and the Cardinals of
Rome so long must he lay his account to trouble
and civil war throughout his very disjointed and
separate nationalities. it is only by a system of
moderation, prudent counsels, and more beneficent
rule that he can hope to amalgamate the various
peoples into a harmonious whole, and render his
empire ten times more strong, more faithful, and

more happy than at present.
The Constitutionnel has a very significant
article on the Duchies. It says that it is not the
wish of the Emperor NAPOLEON to follow the
errors of the ancient Austrian policy, whose
armed intervention in the affdirs of the Italian
Peninsula has ceased for ever ! This is pretty
strong. Italy owes her independence to France,
and France will not take away from her to-day
what she had given her yesterday. We hope not.
Meantime the people in the Duchies, and in fact
throughout Central Italy, are busy in laying their
freedom at the feet of the King of SARDINIA, who,
if he accepts their homage, may form a kingdom
sufficiently strong and compact to insure the inde-
pendence of the whole. Our only fear is, how far
the Emperor NAPOLEON will permit this truly
national fraternization. If he persists in having
his own way in the very teeth of the people, the
wor t may ensue for both. It is not likely that
England will look on unconcerned and allow the
Italians merely to exchange one master for another,
merely to please NAPOLEON at the expense of the

people.
On this perplexing question we find the follow
ing in the Paris correspondence of the Times, dated
yesterday :—" Austria, suspecting she has been
been mystified, still appesls to the stipulations of
Villafranca ; Piedmont declares that these stipula-
tions are no concern of hers; Cen d
tral Italy is go
EM
ing
on her way thus far fairly enough ; an the -
PEROR Napoleon is silent and impenetrable. Nothing
would better suit him than the submission of that
population to their fugitive Dukes, if he really
desired their restoration. Whether he does or no,
the deliberate acts of the Tuscans and Modenese are
a great difficulty in the way of the peace of Zurich.
Count REISSET has failed in his mission to Central
Italy; so probably will Prince PoNIATOWSKI, if
it be for the same object—namely, to coax the
Central Italians to call back their runaway
Princes. Finding this rather difficult, every
species of argument is used to induce the King
of SARDINIA to refuse the annexation so in-
compatible with the conditions offered by
FRANCIS JOSEPH. Indeed, I learn that at Turin
France is employing her utmost efforts to induce
VICTOR EMMANUEL to turn a deaf ear to the
Duchies. Intrigues, entreaties a little too ener-
getic, are employed for that purpose. As yet they
have been disregarded ; the KING holds out, and
with the exception of one of the Ministers, who
hesitates, the majority of the Cabinet are
stanch. The opinion at Turin is that these
things may retard the annexation, but
-will not prevent it. When it is remem-
bered that the Emperor NAPOLEON braved
-much unpopularity among his own people
:by the war in Italy, sacrificed 30,000 or
40,000 men and 500,000,000 of francs, his Own

otte may wonder what can be hismotive in trying
to prevent the annexationls of Tuscmany to Piedmont.
