WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 12, 1859.

The few words spoken by the Emperor NAPOLEON
to M. HUBNER on the first day of the New Year,
followed by the speech of VICTOR EMMANUEL at
the opening of the Sardinian Chambers, have already
spread consternation in every money market in
Europe. It is believed that the quotations of public
securities exhibit losses amounting in the aggre-
gate to sixty millions of pounds sterling! And
this may easily be conceived when it is known that
the decline in the French funds has been no less
than 5 per cent. ; in the English, 2 ; Russian, 3 ;
Sardinian, 5; Austrian, 5 or 6; and Turkish, 3 per
cent. This is a heavy price to pay for the indis-
cretion, or deliberate determination, of a single in-
dividual to disturb the peace and tranquillity of
Europe.

None can desire more earnestly than ourselves
the social and political regeneration of Italy, and
the concession of those large and comprehensive
measures of reform so urgently required in that
beautiful but unhappy land. But it cannot be for-
gotten that it was by the aid of French bayonets
that sacerdotal domination was re-established at
Rome, and by Austrian soldiers that the Legations
were kept in awe. If the object had been to
procure salutary ameliorations, to give good
government to the people, there might
have been some extenuation—we cannot call
it justification—of the proceedings.
But Louis NAPOLEON cannot be regarded as a
very sincere, advocate for popular rights and pri-
vileges. It suited him at the time to conciliate
the Ecclesiastical party in France ; and his support
of the POPE in the hour of need, the restoration of
the Pontifical temporal authority at the very
moment it was shaken to its foundation, accom-
plished its object, while it rivetted the chains on
the Italian race. For it cannot be supposed that
if a free and constitutional Government had been
established in the Pontifical dominions, the neigh-
bouring authorities could have resisted the just
demands of their respective peoples. Bomba
would have assumed an appearance of mildness,
and the claims of the Lombardo-Venetians would
have been taken into earnest consideration. Even
Tuscany, and the minor States, would have elevated
the standard of Reform, and Piedmont would not
have been the only Constitutional Government
under an Italian sky,

But it is not by a special arrangement between
France and Russia, using Sardinia as a tool, that
these inestimable blessings are to be obtained.
They are not exactly the quarters to which op-
pressed nationalities could turn with any well-
founded hope of redress. That they have their own
objects to achieve is certain. But what are these
objects? Who can ascertain the nature of the private
arrangements entered into between the Imperial
confederates, or how far they may benefit the
Italians themselves, or the rest of the civilized
world It is unquestionably for their own private
aggrandisement that France and Russia have
coalesced against Austria, and with the long-stand-
ing and well-founded resentment of Piedmont
against the latter Power, it could easily be induced
