war Sardinia would play very secondary
part, for powerful ally never consults the in
tereats Of small State, and insists that Sardinia
and Lombardy never can unite. He also writes
to the British Minister at Rome, limiting at the
discomfort Of large proportion of the Italian
people, and the faithlessness of their govern

quietude to all the Powers interested in the
maintenance Of general peace" This is the
only allusion to the true causes of the present
perturbation of Europe in the correspondence
After such smiles from England and sour faces
to France, there is little cause to wonder that
Austria rushed into the war. The Prussian
Prime Minister told Lord Bloomfield as early as
the 18th Of January that England's oil and water
advice would not be accepted by anybody.
Lord Lotus, in giving from Vienna report of
his interviews with Count Buol, after receiving
the above dispatches, tells Lord Malmesbury, as
plainly as diplomatic language can tell, that his
meddlings were doing more harm than good.
But it remained for Lord Cowley's mis-
sion TO Vienna TO prove to the Derby
Cabinet what q child's part it was
acting in these grave questions. In their
interviews, Count Buol finally told Lord Cowley
what Lord Malmesbury seemed to ignore, that
