Regency of the Italian States has . pat*** ..: ,6,
out a strong remonstrance from the Freh .pai-c- -.. -ei
ment. Indeed, this word is not strong e..• : b; i r
it is plain that the Emperor has almoSt exmnanded
Victor Emmanuel to annul the act of his relative,
the Prince de Carignan. From the tone of the
French semi-official press, and from the indignation
of the clerical party, we may judge how much im-
portance is attacitGArtollyie nomination, which has
been fitly describca .::':-4 acceptance by the King
of the sovereignty of Oeifiral Italy. Of the future
we have no power to speak. The fate of Central
Italy is still hidden wider clouds, and no one can

say whether six months hence content and tem-
pered freedom will reign there, or Pope and priest,
Duke and commandant, be once more installed,
with deceitful promiseseof amendment, but with all
their old power and more than all their old perver-
sity. Man cannot dispose of these events. All that
we can do is to watch the stream and direct it as
best we may. No one will suspect an English
Government of. anything but sympathy for the
oondition of the Italian populations, and a fervent
wish to see them in possession of the first step to
liberty—national independence. But there must
evidently be a long and obstinate strife. The
Italians are firm, the French and Austrian interests.
do not conceal their irritation, and the epithets of
" headstrong," " ungrateful," " impracticable,"
and "turbulent," are freely applied to the people
whom Prince Napoleon Jerome was lately sent to
revolutionise. The late events are, we will not say
a defiance to France, but a proclamation that Italy
is not dependent on other States for the settlement
of its internalAiffa:rs. It puts in question the
whole right of the French and Austrian Govern-
ments to restore the rulers of countries which do
not belong to them; and whenever Europe is ap-
pealed to by means Of a Congress it will be to de-
cide, not what Government shall be given to Central
Italy, but whether the Government which it has
given to itself shall be destroyed by foreign force..
On the other hand, the French Emperor seems
determined to carry his point. This may not be to
restore the former state-of things, or even to esta-
blish the faintly improved system sketched out in
his late letter. But it is to give Italy the institu-
tions and the rulers that he pleases. The Treaty
of Zurich contains conditions which followed neces-
sarily from the arrangements made at-Villafranca.
The Emperor may not be desirous of having these
carried out to the letter; but, as they have his as-
sent, and as he has arrogated to himself the right
of arranging Italian affairs, without the advice of
his ally or the consent of the people, he seems de-
termined that any change in the conditions shall be
proposed by himself, and sanctioned by him and his
late adversary.
This great battle must be fought out in the Con-
gress, which seems at last likely to meet. The result
we do not pretend to foresee ; but the course of Eng-
land is clear, since our sympathies and the maxims
of international law all lead in the same direction.
The declaration of Lord John Russell, that England
will take no part in a Congress unless the right of
the Italians to settle their affairs without the armed
intervention of foreigners is recognised, should be
the principle of British action in this matter. This
being once settled, everything will depend on the
Italians themselves. They must be aware that
the fate of their country lies in their own hands,
and that France and Austria, the two great
military Powers which aspire to rule them, cannot
be thwarted by England, or Prussia, or Russia, or
all Europe united, unless the Italians by a firm de-
meanour give the neutral Powers a basis for their
representations or remonstrances. Assuming, how-
ever, that Italy still persists in asserting her inde-
pendence, and that Victor Emmanuel is not tempted
to restrain M. Buoncompagni, we have no doubt
that the public opinion of Europe will support them.
All the French arguments are based on the assump-
tion that a Congress alone can settle the affairs of
Italy and legalise any act done at Florence or
Bologna. Now, this claim would be too absurd for
contradiction, if it did not come from the masters of
half a million troops. That an Assembly of Euro-
pean States has any right to dispose of the people
of Italy or of any other country is a proposition
both new and dangerous. It is against both rea-
son and practice. If adopted, it would place every
small State at the mercy of a combination of three
out of five Powers, and would be a matter of no
small importance even to a nation like our own.
We have seen that in 1856 M. Walewski thought
fit, while discussing the Turco-Russian question, to
call the attention of the Plenipotentiaries to the
press of Belgium. This is only a swiple of what
may be expected if these claims of assembly
called a Congress be allowed. The government of
Ireland, or India, or the lonian Islands may as well
be regulated by a majority of the Fire Powers as
the government of Tuscany or the Legations. Wo
can never admit that any unmber of-Skates, how-
ever powerful or enlightened, may encroach on the
independence of a neighbour. As we have before
remarked, the States represented in the Congress can
only meet for the regulation of their own affairs—
that is, their own relations to the Italian Peninsula.
The independence of this latter cannot be inter-
fered with by the Congress ; no act done by the
Italians can be ignored, no decision reversed ;
all the Plenipotentiaries will have a right to do is
to take accomplished facts, and then consider how
their respective States ought to behave in the face
of these facts. This is the theory of the matter,
and it is strictly in accordance with practice. In
the present generation nations have over and over
again changed their rulers without the preliminary
assent of any general international council. Where
is the Congress which has consented to the transfer
of Milan from Austria to France, and from France
to Sardinia ? Can it be said that this great Euro-
pean change requires the assent of the five Powers,
or that M. Walewski would listen to a Plenipoten-
tiary who declared that the ratification of England,
or Russia, or Prussia was necessary ? And how are
the deposition of the Tuscan Grand Duke and the
overthrow of the Papal tyranny in the Romagna
less accomplished facts than the cessidn of Lom-
bardy ? If we go into Congress we must place
all on the same level, and declare that Tuscany
and the Romagna have as much right to cede them-
selves to Sardinia as Francis Joseph or Napoleon
had to transfer the Government of Lombardy.

TILE MURDER ON TILE BORDERS OF

DORSET.

APPREHENSION OF THE MURDERER.

The public will, we are satisfied, feel greatly re-
lieved at knowing that there is at last in custody a
man at whose hands there is every reason to believe
Anastasia Trowbridge met her death, as reported in
our last number. He is supposed to be a Spaniard,
gives his name as Serafin Manzano, is about 29
years of age, and is about 5 feet 7 inches in height.
He was apprehended under the following circum-
stances :—On Friday morning, Sergeant Cook, of
the Hampshire police, saw the prisoner on board
a steamboat lying at her moorings, at Hythe,
and went over with him in the boat to South-
ampton. Observing that his clothes answered
the description of those stolen from the house
of the murdered woman, the sergeant accosted
him on leaving the boat, and asked him
whence he came. He replied, " From Boalogne,"
and on being asked the day, took out a book'
and pointed to the figure four. This did not satisfy
the sergeant, who at once took him into custody,
and the police at Hindon being communicated with,
it was soon ascertained that the hat, coat, boots, and
gaiters he was wearing at the time were undoubtedly
the property of the husband of the murdered wo-
man. Another coat and an, umbrella were also:.
found in his possession, but Trowbridge, although
he has little doubt about it, is yet unable to idea-
tify the former, owing to the removal of the buttons.
Traces of blood were found on his trowsers, and
stains were also observed on his shirt, but from its
having been recently washed, it is difficult to say if
they were produced by blood. There is likewise a
slight wound on the middle finger of the prisoner's
right hand, which appears to have been not long
inflicted.

Since the prisoner's apprehension it has been as-
certained that he sold one of the missing waistcoats
at Cerny, on the day after the murder, and another
waistcoat and handkerchief near Wareham on the

following

nsTtihtueste,

oafrttiicllee s found

property. The prisoner is a tramp, and it is sup-
posed that since the murder he has generally secreted
himself by day and travelled only by night; it
is otherwise difficult to account for his having got
so far without falling into the hands of the police.
The murderer was in the Isle of Purbeck on Tues-
day week last, and lodged on the Monday evening
at a temporary stable, built with sods (or turfs).
The next day he called on the men employed at the
clay works of Messrs. Hatherly and Co.. and sold a
waistcoat to a person named Sohn Soffries,saying
he was hard up. The man appeared to be a foreigner,
speaking broken English, and offered to sell a coat
for 205., which afterwards he offered to part with
for 10s. • he had on two pairs of trousers, a white
hat, and carried an umbrella. He was ordered off
the clay works on the Tuesday evening, and went
his way towards Wareham. On the news being
received through the police every exertion was used
to detect him.
