Lord JOHN RUSSELL and Reform ! we hope we
shall have one day to give with all the honours ;
to-day we give Lord JoHN RUSSELL and Italy ! with
three times three. Heartily, unreservedly, we re-
joice in his announcement of foreign policy at
Aberdeen ; it is worthy of him, and worthy of his
country, and this part of his speech will be read
with pride by every Englishman. Without a syl-
lable of threatening to any power, without a word
of vain-glorious boasting of what is due to Eng-
land's dignity, without a sentence of such solemn
bluster as every now and then appears in the
Moniteur, the Foreign Secretary of England has
maintained our position in the business-like, rea-
sonable language which best commends itself to
his own countrymen, and which must weigh with
Foreign Courts and Cabinets.
As to our general position, he justly says it
ought to be such a one that " if we forbear, our for-
bearance should be the forbearance of strength."
It has been the object of one great continental
monarch to bring about a different result, and to
render forbearance, on our part, a prudent calcula-
tion of the strength of a fleet built to vie with ours,
and for nothing else. Lord JOHN RUSSELL speaks
the general feeling of the country when, as its
Foreign Minister, he advertises all Europe that
this is not to be. England objects to shedding
more blood on the Italian question, but it is not
because she cannot match her navy with the navies
of the whole Continent. She thinks that common
sense and reason ought to avail between nations,
and she will try what it can do. Able to strike,
she will strike only with the force of argument,
unless she should be driven to another course by
unquestionably hostile movements.
And admirably, all must confess, does Lord JOHN
put the arguments for leaving Italy to the Italians.
He saves the pride of Austria by showing that
Prance could net, when she tried to do it, govern
'tab'. He saves the pride of France by showing
that Austria could succeed no better ; shutting up
both to the conclusion that the Italians themselves
could best govern themselves. " A general full of
youth, full of genius, full of capacity of every kind,
both for war and civil appointments "—even
he only caused the Lombards sixty years
ago to sigh for emancipation from France ; and
France must make the best of the compliment to
her general, and of the fact. Since 1814 Austria
had, by the decree of the Great Powers, tried her
hand in governing Italy, and with the result, as
mildly phrased by Lord Jdus, that the Italians had
become every year more and more averse to her
rule. Both the great neighbours of Italy are out
of court as candidates for acceptable governors of
the Italian peninsula.
Well, an other great man arises in 1859, and
affords the Italians an opportunity freely to state
afresh what they would have. and, with one voice,
they tell us their one wish. That wish Lord JOHN
RUSSELL is determined, so far as English influence
can effecl; it, shall be respected. Should a congress be
proposedL he will make it a sine qua non of Eng-
