SIN: n your article on the ssObieots OF the
War; you say, "Ths ultimate aim of the
European war on the part ok France and
Russia, the two great powers whose policy
has brought II on, j very probably the pos
session OF the loft bank Of the Rhine for the
one, and OF the Bosphorus FOR the other. p
This view has been taken from the first BY
the Italian Republican party, and BY many OF
the most advanced English liberals, and the
fear OF seeing Europe divided between two
despots--not las has been unjustly asserted)
the fear of seeing Italy united under mo-
narchical instead of Republican form Of gov

protest against war inflicted under the aus

backed BY the Autocrat Of Russia. In my

to divide Europe between them; after Mala-

Napoleon Ill, whom the same compact was

defeat the designs OF the second.
ssThe attack on Austria in her Italian do.

will be the next step undertaken, and in this
the French Emperor has two powerful allies.
On the one hand, the King of Sardinia--rep-
resentinE, IN virtue Of . constitution and the
Italian dag unfurled, . large portion OF the
Italian nstion-will rush to attack Austria !;
Sardinia, in the hope OF enlareing her do

since the man Of the I'd Of December merely
aims st establishing Murat 40 French Pro-
consul in Southern Italy, and Plon Plon as
French Pro-Consul in Northern Italy-thus
realizing one of the ideas of "My Uncle'' in
making the Mediterranean ga French lake,
On the other hand, Russia will gladly second
Napoleon in his plans for humilisting Aus

chief obstacle to Russia's ambitious designs
in the East.
"The third act in the Imperial drama will
be, should he succeed in the second, sthe
avenging Of Waterloo Like drawn sword
in the face Of England, he has unsheathed
the fortress Of Cherbourg, that monument of
the hate Of despotic France against Albion
proud and free. The France Of the people
has had no hand in its erection neither the
France of 1889 nor the France Of 1848. Com
menced by Louis XIV, continued BY Napo-
leon l., it was completed by Napoleon ILL.,
But not daring to strike her IN her island
home, which her island msstiffs guard, the
attack on England will be made in the East !;
for ut Tilsit it Was agreed that the materials
for the foundation Of the Europe of the two
Cars, should DO taken from the ruins OF the
Turkish Empire. England-compelled to
keep half her feet in the Channel, in order
to protect the British coast from the menace
Of Cherbourg; Austria, annihilated OF en-.
feebled-what shall prevent Russia from
possessing herself Of the Bosphorus, and
France of Egypt and of Syria? And this
dOne--the dominion of Russia thus extended
from Varsovia to Oonstantinople, that Of Ma.
poleon from the mouth Of the Rhine to Eici-
ly-it is easy to imagine the fate of Central
Europe, crushed between these huge walls of
despotism. France, in possession Of Syria
and Egypt, BY cutting through the Isthmus
VI Suez, can arrive ut the British Possessions
in India in 80 days. Is It not, therefore,
alike the interest Of the people Of Europe
and OF the British nation to defeat the de-
signs Of the two Czars?"
This 10 the opinion shared more or less BY
all those lovers Of Italy who, while painting
to take up arms against Austria, yet feel that
q mere change Of tyrants would be as humil-
iating as .prejudicial, and that to hope for
Italian liberty from the murderer OF the Ro-
man Republic 10 . grave error, to say the
least. As yet, nothing has traDspired to Of.

OF opinion, though nothing would afford
them greater JOY than to fnd themselves mis-
