The WOniteur of May lst, publishes the following
important circular, dated April 9th, addressed to
all the diplomatic agents of the Emperor:
SIR:-Ihe communication which has been made
by order OF his Imperial Majesty, to the Senate and
to the Legislative body, renders needless for me
to revert to incidents which have occupied public
OPINION for some weeks past, and have been the sub
ect OF my last dispatches. The gravity of the pres
ent state OF affairs has reached a eliminating point
and the denouemem before US will not, unhappiIy,
be that which honest and persevering efforts have
endeavored to obtain. In such serious conectura
1t is great consolation to the Emperors govern
ment to be able to submit without hesitation to the
verdict of Europe the question as to on what Power
the responsibility OF events rests.
That the state of things in Italy was abnormal
that the discomfort and underhand agitation which
resulted thererom constituted danger for every
one which reason bid to be stopped by a prudent
precaution; an inevitable crisis was understood
equally by England, Prussia and Russia az well
as by France. The unanimitv of apprehensions i'm
mediatey created the conformity of sentiments and
measures. Lord Cowley's mission to Vienna, the
proposal OF Congress- emanating from ST. Peters
burg, the support given by Prussia to these at |
temptS at an arrangement, the off
to adhere to the combinations which followed each
other up to the last moment; all these acts in a |
word, emanated from the same inspiration-the sin
cere and lively desire to consolidate peace by no
longer Ignoring difficulty which so evidently |
threatened to disturb it.
In this phase of the affair the Emperor's govern
ment has had its share of initiative and action; but
this share-l am particular in stating it-bas al
ways been mixed up with collective labor
France simply offered her cooperation as a great
European Power TO settle amicably and honestly
with the other Powers question which, do not
deny it-aroused her sym pathies; but in which She
did not yet perceive particular duties to fulfil or
urgent interests to defend The day upon which
tae Vienna Cabinet had promised by solemn de-
claratlon not to commence hostilites it seemed IT,
self to anticipate the attitude which anv aggressive
act against Piedmont would cause the government
of the Emperor to assume.
Such an assurance, by giving time to the mad;to
ton OF the Powers to exert ITSELF allowed the hone
of the proximate meeting of the Congress In facr
England had just settled, with the assent of France
1 russia anu hussla the last conditions for the
meeting of that assembly, where the place which
justice and reason assigned to the Italian States
was granted to them. Sardinia, on her part adj
hered to the principle of a simultaneous and pre-
vious disarmament of all the Powers which for
some time past had increased their military
strength. To these tokens of peace the Vienna
Cabinet suddenly opposes an act which, to cbarac-
terise 1t as it deserves is equivalent to declaration
of war.
Thus Austria destroys alone, and with intent the
earnest labors of England seconded so honestly bv
Russia and Prussia, facilitated with so much mod
Grafton by France Not only does she exclude
Sardinia from the Congress, she summons her,
under penalty of coercion to disarm without any
condition within three days.
large military force is displayed at the same
time on the banks of the Ticino, and to saw the
truth, it is in the midst of advancing army that
the Austrian commander-in-chief awaits the reply
of the Turin Cabinet
You are aware, sir, of the impression produced
at London, Berlin and st. Petersburg bv the un-
timely and fatal resolution of the Vienna Cabinet
The astonishment and disapproval of the three
Powers was displayed as protest which public
opinion has echoed throughout all Europe
If England, Prussia and Russia by the step thew
fastened to take, have been able to relieve their
moral responsibility and to satisfy the exactions
of their offended dignity, the government of the
unprecedented, however, by ANALOGOUS consid
erations-had to mark its attitude more distinctly
and other obligations were imposed upon it. No
thing modifes the solidarity which was established
at the commencement between us and the mediatinp
Powers; the question remains at bottom the same:
