THE GROwISs OF THE REVOLUTIONARY
From the London Advertiser Gossu.hs organ) July l2
This il one hypothesis on which some persons
think the armistice may lie accounted for. Another
is, that Louis Napoleon finds the difficulties of ad-
ustine the Claims of all parties to their share of the
spoil, should he succeed in expelIing the Austrans
from Italy, so much greater than he expected that
he feels appalled, at the prospect of making the at
tempt; In addition to this, there Is the colossal
difficulty connected with the Papal States. On the
one hand, he has over and over again in public docu-
ments as well as in private, pledged himselfto ber-
ate the whole of Italy, Itay for the Italians" is the
professed principle on which he undertook the war;
But latter'y he has considerably modified his pro-
gramme All that he now processes to do ia to
liberate part of Italy. A very important part
and that, too, the worst gOverned-is to remain as
it is, grooming under an intoerable despotism, and
helplessy wallowng in the mire of the deepest de-
graduation: The Papal States are not to be enamel
pated. They are to remain as they are. Tho secu-
lar power OF the Pope is to DO untouched. He has
an autograph letter from Louis Napoleon to this
effect No wonder, then, that in these circum-
stances the French Ruler should feel that he has
got into difficulty. And to make the matter
worse, he must have serious apprehensions that
the farther he goes the more perilous to him
self will become his position. He begins already
to realize the truth of the Scriptural maxim,
that no man can serve two masters. He began
by appealing to the revolutionists of Italy;
and afterwards, to propitiate the Pope, he pro-
nounced against his temporal power being inter-
fered within other words, he told the most OPP
pressed and degraded of all the Italian States that
there is to be no liberty for them, but that they
must remain as they are, with their necks under
the iron hoof of the Roman PontiG If, therefore,
he hoped that he would get out of this dangerous
dilemma by agreeing to an armistice with Austria,
that step would be Ineligible enough.
This however, is, we repeat, all speculation.
But certain very significant facts have come to light
within the last few days in reference to the arms-
tice. 1t will have been observed that Louis Ma
poleon never mentions the name Of the King
of Sardinia in connection with the armistice. The
armistce, he tells in his teegraphic despatch is
not between the Emperor OF France and the King
Of Sardinia on the one side, and the Emperor of
Austria on the other, but between the Emperor of
France and the Emperor OF Austria. This must be
intoleraby calling to Victor Emanuel. 1t is alike
ungenerous and unjust. 1t was supposed to be for
the cause of Sardinia that all the fighting has taken
place. Victor Emanuel was the principal in the
conflict, and Louis Napoleon only professed
friend, who came to the King OF Sardinia's asss-
lance. And yet Louis Napoleon utterly ig-
nores the King of Sardinia when he comes to
treat OF terms for peace as IT there were
might have been expected from the first. And in
this journal, before single shot was fred we dis
tincty fore told that, whenever the time came Louis
Napoleon would treat the King of Sardinia as a
mere vassal, and would deal with whatever parts
of Italy might be conquered as if they were his
own property, to be disposed of as he thought fit
What remarkable fulflment has our prediction al
ready met with What must make the fact of being
thus utterly ignored by Louis Napoleon all the more
Notifying to Victor Emanuel is the other fact, that
the Sandman army considering their numbers, has
not only fought nobly, but has actually done more
to gain the victories which have been won than the
French themselves.
If anything could still further deepen the NOR
tifcaton or increase the indignation Of the King
of Sardinia, it would be third fact-that Louis
Napoleon not only ignores the existence of Victor
Emanuel in the aristice he has concluded with the
Emperor of Austria, but that he did not even APP
prise him of his intention to propose the armistice
The public here and on the Continent were sur
prised at the intelligence when it reached them,
but they could not have been whit more so than
was Victor Emanuel himself. The world knew the
fact as soon as he, although he, Of all men in the
world, was the one most deeply interested in it,
So much for the conduct of Louis Napoleon, and
those who are credulous enough to put any faith in
him.

The Emperor of the French has put forward his
estimate OF his own peace, and Count Cavour, the
leader Of the national party in Italy, has made
known his opinion of the same work by resigning

take. 1t was with appeals and promises to Italy
