Napoleon's Policy Toward Italy and Tia,
Grand Dukes.

From the Manchester Guardian Oct. 261
Only monarch nsoleDtly confident the possession
OF overwhelming physical force could venture to play
fast and loose in this manner 1t is apology for the
French Emperor say that he is bound by his promise
to the reaconary side OF pending controversy and to
the popular side by bis personal sypathes and convc
tons grea. European Power has right make this
artificial division of inucacegiving half TO irksome
duty and the other 70 inclination i Louis Napoleon con.
sders himself Incidentally pledged support the petty
tyrants OF Italy, he is As cerilinly b3uad in
honor not TO encourage any movement Of pre-
cisely contrary tendency. IT. on tie other hand
he feels himself free TO favor other policy
which LIS more mature judgment sees reason
TO prefer 1t would be infinitely better say So and take
the CONSEQUENCES OF declaring that the hastily
scribed al Vlatranca susceptible Of execution
tortuons course sach circumstances must appear when
we consider ibe mischief is calculated effect the false
hopes necessarily exci;cs and the rnonstrous exanuie
OF disingcRuousness which it presents 70 be Of the
worst offences against humanity which is possible for
government TO commit Austria has, indeed, made rapid
progress In the bitter school in which she has had learn
humility she is satisfied with the manner In which tina
engagements formally entered into with herself are
being discharged; and the prevailing tone of EIropaap
political n,oraity must have sunk much than we
can willingly believe ii this open and unprinciped riing
with great interests be not attended with loss Of credit
which even the Emperor Of the French would do well
avoid.
One thing which becomes increasingly evident is that
the Italians act even more vigorously than thev have
Emperor either sincerely favorable the course which
they have marked out for themselves, he does not
venture at present to place his power in opposition it
or allow it to be opposed by others II they wait for an
initiative from him, they ought to be Sensible by this time

The time mas now come we think for the King Of Sar.

with the objects for which the late war was declared nd
strongly dictated by the popular az yaton

of the Enporors would bravo the disgrace and peril Of
this undertaking. the hostility Of the intervening power
to Italian independence must, under all circumstances
be anticipated; and the Italians may as well It

sapped away by hope deferred and protraced inactivity
