NAPoLEoNs POLICY TOWARD TILE 1rAL1ANs

NAPOLEONS POLICY TOWARD THE ITALIANS
The Paris correspondent OF the New York Post takes
different view of the late letter Of Napoleon TO the
King oi Sardinia from that generally entertained in this
country. lie says:
Meantime however, the work of Italian emaneip,.
ton goes quietly forward. The Emperor has permitted
the curtain which hides his political laboratory from the
world to be raised little higher aud il reveals more ey
dence OF the marvellous sagacty which has marked his
treatment of the Italian question from the beginning
The revelation Is made in the form of letter to the
hing ot Piedmont who has reason be iattercd with
the evidence 1t exhibits of desire TO keen him from pet
ing into false position. IL certainly ought to
the confidence of those who have from the beginning re-
cognzed the wisdom of the peace of Villafranca and
who saw IN IT, not the deseron of Italy by Napoleon
cut evidence of the sincerity of his purpose and
the fertility of his for tile accomnlishment or
her emancipation.
ln this letter he indicates the policy of France in the
approaching Congress which is essentially the policy of
the most Italian OF the Italians except in so far as il rec
onlnendS the rcsoI alton of the Grand Duke Ferdinand
to Tuscany aud OF the Duchess OF Parma TO Modcna both
measures, however, which he expressly dsclans any
idea OF employing allowing the employment of foreign
intervention TO accomplish. lie could do no less than
this in view of the footing which he met the Enner
Francis Joseph a NIlaiauca But be il observed that
he leaves It with the parties in interest TO effect recon
citation with each other, he taking further respons
hty in the premises than good faith to Austria rus
that - carefully abstaiung from any step that might be
calculated 10 encourage the Tuscans and the Modn. in
refusing TO receive the foreign sOvcrrigns
The Emperor shows also in this letter what has not
so distinctly appeared in his previous unirtiops
that he did not overlook the interest of the Veneaus in
the treaty Of Niairanca lie says he will insist in the
Congress, that Austria shall complete the nationality Of
Neua, not only by comforting upon her a representative
government and separate administration but also an
Italian army, and the surrender of the forrcssc Of Man,
tua and feschcTa To the confederation"

Dominican Congress was opened with much cere-
mony.
The discovery at a railroad depot at Albany of a
soap box containing human remains. has given rise
to the supposition that a clue TO the mysterious
disappearance of Mrs. Captain Brennan, in July
last, from Staten Island, has been found The af-
fair is now in course Of investigation. Such par
ticulars as have ranspred in regard to it are given
in another column.

ferry boat the little skf capsized under the guard
of the steamer The rescued men gave their names
as Henry Canon and Charles Mcdonald. They stated
that they were sailors; but as their statements re-

were accordingly detained by the police.
