THE LONDON TIMES ON THE ADDRESS or
 NAPOLEON ILL

NAIOLEON Ill.
 BRITISH INTERPRETATION OF THE ADDREss-rHE
 PLEDGES AND PLANS OF NAPOLEON.
 The London Times of May 4th indulges in com ments on the late address of the Emperor of the French on departing to take command of the army Tn Italy, After summary of the address, the Time, thus speculates as to the purposes and probable re sul.s of the war
 It is utterly beyond human forethouobt what Will be the relative position of France Austria Sar
 hl and other states of Italy and of Europe at the close of this war, whenever it may be. It may be remembered that even at the termination of the late late Russian wa, one of snguiary definite charac ter, it was found impossible to argue from any srn posed original objects what the final settlement should be; and the language of the treaty of Paris was rather to take for its basis the then existing state ot things. Who can pretend to say how the belllgerents will find themselves situated after two or three campaigns, or even who the helligerents Will be? Besides Lombardy and Venice besides Piedmont, Genoa, Savoy and Sardinia there are also Tuscany, the Duchies and the Papa States directly involved ill thr quarrel Is it possible that the Two SicilIes should not be absorbed into it? Will the other powers of Europe stand aloot? As the war proceeds new matter will be imported into the quar- rel, II quarrel that can be called which is simply trial O. strength between all who choose to ioin in the strife Objects, as they called claims griey- ances, rights, justice tself disappear in the mere
 
 the original objects into as remote an antiquity as the claims of banshed pretender or the ttledeeds of a landowner disposessed centuries ago. What we see before us is War The end of that no man can 
 France and her Emperor can be no stranger to these considerations They arc we'll aware that the end of war is not to be conjcctured or limited by its beginning. They know the questions of reward and punishment, ot annexation and combination that grow out ot a war Even supposng simple 1;,fo +la from Lombardy and Venice, and their submission to | that disaster, it would be urged that something more was necessary than to leave Italy to itsef Large portions of the classic soil for which France avows so much sympathy and interest, and with which it boasts historical conneXon, would be actu- ally going a begging Either Sardinia would be | made a first rate power, or new kingdom would have to be founded in the north, very much larger and richer than any now in the Peninsula. With all this to be done in the event of more remote settlement, Napoleon III. must be aware that terri tory will be thrust on the victorious and successful ally who has made Italy her debtor added one more link to her ancient connection with that country and left one more track of glory her oft trodden soil. With this consequence in view almost within grasp, in what sense and with what degree of reso- | lution, does the Emperor repudate all thought of | conquest Not to doubt his sincerity what is his meaning? Will he refuse Savoy under all circum- stances, and will his hateed of foreign interference carry him so far as to refuse throne or ducal SiOWi iol COuSl HIS sOn! VIII ne ODtGcG to Bonaparte as we'll as a Bourbon on the throne of Naples We need only allude to the questions which would arise in case the crossed the Alps and descended the Rhine. All that is to be said and it ought to be borne in mnd is that with all these contingencies in view-with conquest probably thrust upon him-Napoleon III. now repudiates it. Come what may, he will not accept more territory, even though all nations should be scrambng for it. He will not stain his honor or his friendship hy any such gross calculation We wish we could believe him sincere in This wise and honorable declaratioil At any rate it will be remembered that he made it.
 KossUTH.-It has been asked by some of the papers of this country since the present European turmoil commenced ''Where is Kossuth, and what is he doing with the money he collected here some seven years ago'' We have always believed that the Magyar would show his whereabouts when an op- portunity presented tsel and it is now asserted by Hungarans in Paris that Kossuth passed through that city on the 1st of May. We think it very like ly; there has been standing account between Kos suth and Francis Joseph for the last ten years and there is at present probability that :" the thing can be settled
