While, however, this government was willing enough 10
weep most cordial understanding with Ma poeon I'LL
tby no means intended to follow HIM bndy in all his
political evo utions AS long he content 70 fight
che common enemy with diplomatic weapons, and to
trust for SUCCESS 70 his skill in negotiation, the dread OF
bis power and the eaouses and divisions Of his autago
nitts, he could depend with certAiny upon the counte
and support Of Russia; but when he appeared
clined TO push the diplomatic struggle 70 the ex-
tremity OF actual warfare, the case assumed dit
iefsss s aspect. "; There Is, indeed, party here
as those Of the French Emperor, and at the head
OF is Prince Gorschakof, our Foreign Minister, tue
that have resided at the Court ,f Vienna is mbued With
bitter hatred 10 Austria and would desire nothing bet
ter Than TO seize tbe present opportunity OF striking
mortal blow at the power Of that empire but the majority
Of bis colleagues, and the Emperor himself
temperate in their opinions and circumspect in
their views: Az the present moment Russia 10
gagged in internal reforms that demand a season
OF peace and uanquillty the construction Of
her gigantic railway system has only just
commenced her manufactures are beginning to display
unwonted activity, outlets being sought for her
raw produce, and spirit of enterprise s Visible among
her population that promises the happest results Russia
can loae nothing by waiting; every she remains at
peace Increases her power, while II enfeebles that
Of her rivals; and by rushng into hosttes
sbe would forego the certain wards OF the future
realize doubtful advantage in the present. Such
considerations could not but determine 60
vernment to its influence in pacific sense, even
while extending its diplomatic assistance To Napoleon in
return the support he had afforded Russia
casons. This double object attained by the proposal
or congress which, while II moved the prospect OF
TO distance conceded with the OF France TO make
political capital out Of the TIA ian question, and TO arragn
Austria as were at the bar OF nations for the msgo
vernnent of her domnions in the Peninsula That the
proposal really viewed In this obvious from
the aacrty with which Was accepted by France and the
reluctant hesatng consent given 70 by the cabinet
Of Vienna.
Whether the congress, the initiative of which belongs
to Russia will succeed in restoring unanty among tSs

deadly rupture, another question which argued pro
and CON with great earnestness, but the decision Of
which rests in the womb Of futurity. Our government
though exerng itself In the OF peace cannot shut
Its eyes to the possibility Of war; in which Russia might
upon the attitude Of England and Prussia il thew remain
neuter France will US as with the
help Of Sardinia and Of the thousands Italian volunteers
that would flock to her standard it viii be easy matter
for her to drive the Austrans out of Italy, but Prussia
and especially II England, should interfere, the affair viii
assume turn, and II will then be hardly
possible for to remain idle spectators II is not con
sdeTed likely however, that Eogand will take the part OF
Austria as long as Napoleon confines himself to attack
upon the Italian Of that Empire that Prus
sia will stir unless the French Emperor should
menace Germany--a blunder too egregous for
time are silently but actively preparing for every
emergency Yesterday the term of three years expired
during which the conscrpon suspended throughout

will be no easy task to dislodge him. he should be
taken prisoner, would be great step towards the

warfare would not be entirely at end some other
