THE SANDMAN CIRruIAp

The correspondent of the Times, writing from
Paris, Sunday, October 2, says: ..
"A circular note has been sent by the Sandman
Minister of Foreign Affairs to the diplomatic gents
OF that country at the Courts of London, Paris
Berlin and st. Petersburg, for the purpose of com
municating it to those governments The dozen
ment in question is couched | understand in lucid
and earnest terms, and forciblv sets forth argu-
ments in favor of the formation of strong and In

powerful to counterbaance the influence of Ans
tria, and keep in check her domineeriug tenden
cies. The constitution of such state would il is
urged dspe the apprehensions and tranuuillize the
mind of Europe, at the same time that it fulfilled
the Just wishes, so loudly and unanimously express
ed, of those Italian countries which have lately
shaken off tyrannical governments. The note
points out the impossbility of Piedmonts resisting
Austria, should that power at any future time think
hit to attack her, unless she be put in more favor

secured to her. lntrenched in Venice and the

with great justice argued in the note-bv their re-
cent conduct how indispensable they deem the for
nation OF the kingdom of Upper Italy. Forgetting
their long standing feelings of rivalry and discard
ing old jealousies, the different States voted one
after the other, with the utmost order and unanim-
ty, their own annexation to Piedmont. Their wish
the note proceeds to say has the strongest claim to
respect Its realization would not be the sanction or
introduction of new and subversive principle or
of one opposed to European law and precedent
since the principle that would be RECOGNISED has
already been acted upon in various European coun-
tries in Greece, in Belgium, and in the Danubian
Prncipaites, and since it is to its application that
the present Emperor of the French owes his crown
and the present dynasty in England their first intro
dueton as soveregns of Great Britain.
"The above, l have reason to believe are the
principal points of the note, which has probability
this time been communicated to all the four Powers
for whom it was intended. Lord John Russelps

English government. As regards France and NOT

"BY this note it would seem that Victor Eman

to the contrary, notwithstanding the guarded ma
lures of his replies to the Populations from the
States of Central Italy, has in reality accented the
annexation not only of the duchies but of the lepa

in a single handed contest with Austria, and that

The following is the full text of Kossuth's letter,
to which allusion made in the teeeraphic
summary by the North Briton:
