THE SUN.
LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1861.

Count CAVOUR, on Tuesday, in the Chambers at
Turin, made two important speeches; one of them
has reached us at full length, which our readers
saw in The Sun of last evening—the other has
only reached us in the form of a telegram, but it is
to England of more direct importance than the
first. It was probably but a brief reply to an
" interpellation," and was " a formal denial to the
rumours of an intendect'eession of the island of
Sardinia to France." Iris painful to remember
that a similar denial p;entiathe cession of Savoy
and Nice ; our Govern •- • this country must
therefore take it for Nth I`.`P. ,Borth. The word
" formal" is currently 'zi§ed iq fool- senses very
different indeed in regard to a inat 'like this,
and but too happy shOld we be to accept the
most favourable one. After all that hat occurred,
we must think _that sopao membeti of weight on
these questions, should ask-our Fo;:ign Secretary
whether he has informed Count Cityoun, that Eng-
land could not tolerate the alienation of an Italian
island of such maritime importrince, to a great
Mediterranean Power like Frarice. It will be too
late when the evacuation of Rine has been pur-
chased by such an ignominious surrender, and one
which England must regard as desttietive of the
established balance of naval power in the Me4her-
ranean. If we are not mistaken, English diPfo--
matic action ought to be prompt, urgent, and un-,
bending—we might say imperative.
The longer speech which preceded related to
Rome, whence arises the danger we fear. Had
France the right there of fair conquest in war,
and of long prescription, like that of England at
Gibraltar, an exchange of territory might be fair. '
We might use Gibraltar, if we pleased, in nego-
tiating with Spain for the cession of Cuba. But-
the French had no cause of war with Rome, ank;
went there by an act of the most atrocious anc...
cruel inconsistency, to put down liberty ialtir
independent sister republic which had not lione'•
the slightest wrong to France. The occupatiO4
of Rome by France is both in its inception and
continuance a greater crime against the law of
nations and the principles of nationality than the
occupation of Venetia by Austria. Austria has at
least solemn treaties to allege. France has nothing
but violence.

It is true, the pretence is the independence of
the Pope—which means the enslavement of his
subjects. For the French Government has again
and again confessed the Papal Government to be
intolerable, and has counselled Reform, only to
have her counsels laughed at, because the crafty
ecclesiastics well knew that the real reason for the
French occupation of Rome was originally the sup-
pression of freedom and the gratification of national
vanity. It tickled French ambition to be mistress
of the capital of the ancient world, and of the
ecclesiastical capital of the Popedom. Ambition
alone keeps the French army in Rome ; but
the new kingdom of Italy must not be re-
quired to sacrifice her territory to compensate
France' for renouncing persistence in a crime.
And, if the main drift of Count CSVOUR'S speech
on the subject be, really, the exponent of his policy,
he will not do it. His arguments aro as lucid,
and as conclusive as those of his former speech,
from another point of view, on the subject :—" The
other Chamber has admitted," he observed, " and
the honourable senator has concurred with it, that
under present circumstances we cannot employ
other than moral means. To arrive as conquerors
in a city which is the seat of the Catholic religion
Would be a wrong on our part, and would damage
the cause of Italy." It was in this character, how-
ever, that the French entered Rome; conquerors,
at least, of the 'people; but conquerors for their
Prlnce-Priest, beneath whose foot they forthwith
placed tt4' necks 'pi& deeply wronged Rornana.
What Count CAN-ORR means, is, of course, that
for the Ltalian, to enter as conquerors of that '
strange celitaur-lie being, the temporal POPE,
would, as thinp
do more roinhief than good.
