From the London Tines, July l3th.
The Italian War

afhe failure IL tie Austrian arm. has
rendered it. impossible for England or Eu-
rope to consider the two antagonistic pow
ers as being on that quality which was as
sumed before the war. Then. two powerful
and naughty Emperors, each with his half
million Of men, were engaged in dispute
which they carried on with sullen dignity
on each side. The British Government
presumed them to be equally strong and
highly placed and susceptible of their honor
and SO was able to ask each to make conces-
sions for the purpose of propitiating the
other. 1t was incumbent on them 20 SUP
pose that the Austrian rule in Italy could
be upheld against a foreign invader, and as
the Italian sovereigns were reigning peace
ably in their palaces, it was impossible to
treat them but as the Legitimate soFereigns
OF their States. But it is evident that these
Prescriptions, according to which Lord Der
by's Ministry shaped its demands and its
recommendations, must now be abandoned.
We are about to. forejell the Immediate ex-
pulsion OF the Austrians from Italy; great
power, put on its mettle, and with an i'm
mense army and strong fortresses, may give
many months trouble to any adversary
But the Austrians have certainly shown
themselves no match for their adyersaries
| in fair fighting. We cannot doubt. then,
that Lord Pa1merston and Lord John Rus
seil will avow their sympathy with Italian
freedom and successful campaign. The
only means Of procuring voice in the set
Element Of the Peninsula is to have been
previously an ally with those who hold the
country in their hands. Austria will, per-
haps, in few months be no more an Ttal-
ian Power than Prussia and our interests
IN those. regions will. bring US in connec-
ton with her more fortunate rivals. The
same instincts, too, which made is opposed
TO- France when she appeared to be seeking
war, may make us opposed to Austria when
she appears to be persisting in it, It is for
the advantage of the world that the last great
trial to which nations resort should, like
other trials, be as short as possible. The
British Government may think that the re-
treat Of General Gyuali from the banks Of
/ the Sesia, the repulse at Montebello, and
I the DECIDED. defeats at Palestro and Magen.
ia are sufficient indications that the Austri
ans are ferior to their antagonists, and
that they ought TO acquiesce in the decision
Of fortune, and give the. world peace by re.
firing from Italy. If, indeed, it be made
evident that they mist some day leave the
country, the sooner they can be made te
leave II the better"
