to save Turkey and an Austro Russian alliance involving
its destruction give the French There - lie enough
in France to throw off twenty yrannes GIVE us her Mt
full ebutons rather than the organized deat Of Eastern
Europe 1t is all very well TO speak Of the Sutans Go
yernment an efee power, but u mas q a.e SHOWN
more spirit and than most Governments ana
the weakness Of the central authority at Stambouis no
reason why Russia should be allowed 10 swallow up the
Turkish Empire Even II Turkey must oe broken up,
postuate we by no admit that Is no reason why
the Danube should become Russian river There is
many a vigorous on its banks
I'VE 10 deny that the progress Of Russia IN Europe
annals US We can hkeD it to nothing but the march Of
4 Slow death through a Notifying body We committed
fatal in suffering her to enter Hungary Again,
she begins to threaten and il is our business to see that
this time she threatens in vain. IL is clear which way
the right lies, and earnestly trust that the English
people and ministers viii not allow their dstrus OF France
be worked for the purpose OF getting Ausro Russian
acgresons connyed at We fear that the unnatural al
lance of Leopold with the Eastern Powers betokens dis
trust his part OF the frmness of British pocy that
lie thinks the partition of Turkey, ami its western e4u
valent the sacrifice of Belgium, may be permitted.
While the soveregns of Germany have been celebrating
VIENNA the admission of BELGIUM into their reaction
airy league the authorities PARIS have been extending
series Of splendid inequalities to the young and ac-
compished Duke GEsoA the brother of the enghten-
ed King of SARDINIA aud PIEDMONT and heir apparent to
the only constitutional crown in Italy The Duke has
visited France the special invitation of NAPOLEON III
and has been received with all the honors due to his sta
ton. The Duly Nsws says:
1t is not difficult 10 conjecture the motives which IN
all probability have led to such visit at such time
Piedmont has long had feel the implacable en-
nifty and aversion of Austria by whom her earnest pro-
tesatious Of good faith and neutrality in the affairs Of
Lombardy have been nsultng spurned but afew weeks
ago The noble stand made by the Pedmontese Govern
defence of the victims of Austrian rapacty and
oppression has concentrated in favor of the House OF SA
the ympathes and hopes of the constitutional party
throughout the Peninsula The Government of VICTOR
EMANUEL is justly regarded as the sole bulwark left
against the oyerhowng tide of civil and religious tyranny
In Piedmont alone is not liable to be imprisoned
for reading the Scriptures publishing and utterng
liberal opinions Within the last month its frugal legis
lature has voted almost 100000 francs to sustain the
Lombard refugees and within the last week the assem-
bed learning and science of the kingdom have unani
nousy elected NJ ScIALoA, one OF the most recent VIC
tins OF Neapotan oppression to be professor Of uris
prudence al Turin Does any one believe that at such
uncture the visit of the Duke of GENOA to the Tuileres
Is destitute of political sgnifcancy? But France has
another neghbOr who for equally good and sufficient
has incurred the hatred of Austria and whose in
tegrty is equally dear to all that is liberal in Europe
True to the traditions Of their glorious country the Swiss
have maufuy refused to shut their gates against
the fugitiyes from despotic persecution.
g Thus We have in central Europe the sudden, though
not wholly unforeseen preparation Of two great and pow
erfut alliances, founded upon opposite principles and
guaranteed BY opposing sanctions. Legitimacy is the
wachword of the one, popular ameoraton must be the
profession and the boast of the other The of Aus
tria has been and still is the synonym for retrogres
ion that Of France has long been and trust long
will again be, identified in minds with all that is
most noble in intellectual and political progress. Can
there be doubt which of the two national Con-
federaces England should belong? We ask not, for
care no with the Of which the sympathie of the
hereditary ogarchs incline The people Of Great Britain
regard MePops Of France their natural and true allies
and they will suffer arisoeratic diplomacy entangle
them in combination of which the soul and object how
ever concealed must be the maintenance Of Austrian
policy and power Despite the crimes of Louis NAPOLEON
our policy 10 onward in the march Of civilization
st the French people whom he has held in duFe2y rather
than be cajoed through royal ntrgue into any alliance
with the tyrannical reactionary despotism Of Austria
We have TO welcome the Duke Of GESoGs arrival in
England circumstance gratifying all who desire to
the ties Of amity and friendship closely drawn
between the States of Western Europe Contrasted with
those which constitute the Eastern part of the continent
those States enjoy the happiness Of being free They
differ widely, is true in degrees Of freedom Citizen
ship in Spain is doubtless very different thing from
citizenship in Holland and the right Of public discussion
in France is restrained within limits to which no dynasty
parliament could induce the people Of England sub
nit But the people to the westward Of the Baltic, the
Elbe, aud the Adge possess much greater Of
personal and soeial religious aud political liberty than
those whose lot has been few hours nearer the
rising great ard happy change has lately taken
place in the domnions Of the House Of SAVOY The father
Of the present king frankly gave charter Of consttu
tonal rights the people who have loyalty and wisely
exercised those rights win the admiration and respect
Of older friends Of civil liberty among their contempo
rares Many excellent and useful laws have been passed
since the accession of TIcroR EMANUEL The Morning
Advertiser says, when speaking Of Sardinia:
The reactonary efforts Of priestcraft home and the
haunting provocations Of absoutism abroad have alike
been resisted with spirit without passion, with naexi
bty Of purpose without harshness offence The naval
power Of country which boasts that Genoa the Su-
perb is its chief port and arsenal has hty been made
the object Of peculiar solicitude and while the
truest and the best Of securing the ater Of
efficient marine have been sought in the expansion of
commerce under reformed customs tariff. The nhabi-
tans Of Piedmont essentially industrious people.
In this respect they resemble their Swiss neghbors
than their Italian countrymen."
We have been DESTROYS Of giving outline Of the
listing political combinations Of the Powers Of Europe
because think that the effects Of those combinations
about 10 exhibit themselves either for veal or woe
Another week will probably give US a peep behind the
curtain, and enable to understand something Of the
plot Of the great political drama about to commence
The Parliamentary news Of the week is unim-
portant. The budget is slowly working its way
through the House of Commons. There are great
many obstructiyes there, who are continually pro-
voking long and profess discussions upon incidental
business
The most interesting movement is that Of Lord LYYD-
HURST respecting Parliamentary oaths. It is a re-
feshng sight to see octogensrian Tory peer coming
forward express in clear and precise language correct
and liberal opinions point about which all his poiti
cal friends and Of his opponents hopelesy
ignorant 1t was scarcely possible to listen to Lord
LYSDHURsT dscoursing eloquently matter which has
hitherto found but few advocates and those few solely on
the liberal side Of the House Of Peers without thinking
