part Of NsPoleon's programme for Italy. lie
certainly cannot think that such institutions
are essential to good government. The man who
il resolved to uphold the temporal Government OF
the Pope in Central Italy can hardly set up that
to allow Austria to retain her Venetian provinces
would be absolutely inconsistent with his views OF
Italian welfare, Provided it were otherwise con.
sistent with bis schemes, the third Napoleon might
easily consent to allow Austria to retain that Fene-
tan province which the first Napoleon originally
conferred upon her. To set up the doctrine that
the retention by Austria Of any foothold in Italy
would be dangerous to the independence of the
other Italian States and that the war must be con-
tinued till that independence is fully secured,
would be TO occupy position which might
we'll alarm both Germany and England.
Suppose Austria driven entirely out of Italy, still
her possession of the Tyrol would be constant
threat to the independence of Italy quite as much
So to say the least as her possession of the Fene
tiau province So far as Napoleon was led into
the war by the wish of military glory for himself
and his army, that object is already achieved

less available. To bring the war to close with
out ever receiving single check before ITS bur-
den had begun to be sensibly felt, and to accom-
pli.h in so doing all and more than all which
hs had asked for before it began, might be piece
of good fortune which the acknowledged prudence
of Napoleon would not allow him to reject.
1t must be confessed, however, that the hope of
diplomatic termination of war which diplomacy
could not prevent is still of the fantest There are,
indeed, rumors from Germany of an armstice,
and a negotiation to be proposed by Prussia but
they do not seem to rest on any authority. 10
Judge from the statements made in Parliament by
the British ministers, they do not think that the
time has yet arrived at which the belgerents can
be induced to listen to any terms of arrangement
Though they express their determination to watch
carefully for any opportunity for diplomatic
Intervention that may occur, they
strongly imply that to interfere at present
would expose their propositions to be re-
jected with contempt, or at least their failure
ight involve loss of British dignity and influence
They probably anticipate from any propositions
they might now offer the same fate which the
efforts Of the last Ministry experienced, Austria
rejecting the idea of yielding up any of her Italian
territory with the same FESTIVE pride with which
she listened to the propositions then made to her;
and Napoleon, with abundant pretensions of mod
GRAFTON and desire for peace still managing to put
insuperabe obstacles in the way of securing it.
