THE SUN.
TUESDAY, JULY 12, 1859.

It were almost idle to speculate on the labours of
the forthcoming Congress, if Congress there be.
The matter in dispute has been' so far settled by
the force of arms, that diplomacy, to be effectual,
most conform to what has been done, and not pre-
sume to undo with the pen what has been achieved
by the sword.

If a Congress do enter into settlement of the
Italian question, it had better begin by at once
acquiescing in the total recognition of the inde-
pendence of Italy.
What the future views of the Emperor NAPOLEON
may be, time alone:can make clear. That he has
kept his own counsels pretty close hitherto, we all
know ; and he may endeavour to make the best use
of present victory for future adventure. But enter-
prise often stumbles on the very threshold of its
own success : and NAPOLEON, like other wonder-
fully-gifted children of fortune, may live to curse
his own luck, and the unexpected turn of that
wheel which spins all the faster in weaving the
last thread of destiny !

We hope it may not be so. We trust the EM-
PEROR may not be beguiled into a vague belief
that there is no limit to an ambition so wisely and
so successfully managed hitherto, and that he may
not be betrayed into over-confidence' of his good
fortune by the splendid illusion of its vastness. A
man never repents truly but once, and that once is
when it is too late ! Now, an Emperor is but a
man after all, and even he must bow the lofty head
when the hardness of the heart is stricken by the
fatal dart.

To counsel experience to such men is only to ex-
pose one's own folly by endeavouring to correct the
folly of others. Even our GEORGE the Fourth—
" the politest and best behaved gentleman in Eu-
rope," had matters all his own way, from the depth
of the blackest ingratitude to the buffoonery of the
vilest adulation!—he could not imagine that
the race of perfidy was really run until
Nature whispered into his ear for heart
he had none—the time is come !—on which
he faultered to those around his uneasy chair—
" Can this be death !" and so he expired—leaving
no friend to lament .his exit. 'Yet he was a great
Prince for the time being. And there an end.

Concede Sir JAMES GRAHAM an inch, and soon
enough, and with the most perfect sang froid, he
appropriates an ell to his own purposes. Last
evening, in the House of Commons, the inch asked
for by the right hon. baronet, with the most cool
complacency, was really and truly nothing more
than the postponement for a fortnight of any
further consideration of the Lords' amendments in
the Red Sea and India Telegraph Company (No. 2)
Bill, then and there returned to the House of Com-
mons for its agreement. But that mere inch of a
postponement might, if granted,have led positively
to the full ell of a most flagrant repudiation.
Speciously as the insidious argument of the mem-
ber for Carlisle was put last evening, and yet more
speciously though that argument was enforced by
the right. hon. member for Oxford University, in
his authoritative Ministerial position as Chancellor
of the Exehequer—the gist of the whole matter
lay after all, as the phrase is, in a nutshell. Hap-
pily, so thought the majority of those present yes-
terday in the popular branch of the Legislature. A
clear majority of forty-seven in a house of 312
(including Speaker and Tellers), decided against
Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S amendment and for the
Lords' amendments. The minority, altogether
numbering 130, included several of the Cabinet
Ministers, comprising among these the First Lord
of the Treasury himself, and the Right lion. the
Chancellor of the Exchequer. There, too, were
the Right Hon. the Chief Secretary for Ireland,
the redoubtable Whig ex-Secretary- for the Colo-
nies, and that other Whig ex-Secretary of State
(erst for the Home Department), 110 W partially
shelved as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster.
Together with Sir GEORGE GREY, Mr. LABOU-
METE, and Mr. CARDWELL—the catalogue of the
defeated reveals, here Friend BRIGHT, there Friend
GILPIN, yonder the Right Hon. W. MONSELL,
and yonder the Right Hon. R. LOWE. They are
rapidly getting inured to defeat these powerful
and well- disciplined Ministers. Scarcely have
they settled down upon the Treasury benches and
attempted for a few nights to conduct the business
of Pa,rli4ment, when lo ! and behold they have
