The News from Europe-Equtvo Com
duct Of Louis NapolsOn-Aid Solicited
from America.
We published the other day letter from
General Aveazana giving graphic account OF
the battle Of Caserta, in which 1t appears the
General arrived just in time to take promi-
nent part. In that letter was an earnest
request that fresh efforts should be made by
the friends Of the italian cause here to raise
funds In aid Of the further struggles to which
IL is destined.
The news received by the North American
imparts increased urgency to this appeal 1t
would eeem from it that not only will Italy
have to'work out the redemption of her natural
boundaries without the aid of France, but in
defiance Of her opposition. We know not how
we are otherwise to interpret the fact that Ad-
miral Persano was compelled to abandon the
bombardment of Gaeta by the interference Of
the French Admiral. The same policy which
continues to maintain the Pope in Rome, by
the aid Of foreign bay onets, interposes to pre-
serve to Francis the Second bis last stronghold
What construction are we to put upon conduct
for which no justification Of political aeces
city can be urgeds The Warsaw Conference
has broken up without coming to any decision;
the questions put to II by Austria touching the
course the other Powers would be disposed to
take in the event Of her being attacked by
Sardinia and France remain unanswered;
Austria herself, convinced that she cannot en-
list the aid OF either Prussia or Russia, renews
her assurances tot French Emperor that she
will not depart from q defensive policy; and
yet, Notwithstanding all this, we End France at
the last moment casting the shield Of her pro-
lection over the King Of Naples, just as she has
interfered to prevent the expulsion OF the Pope.
In the latter case Difference to the preudices
OF the Catholic world might be pleaded as an
excuse for the Emperoris Intervention; In tie
former IL will be difficult for him to fnd q
decent pretext for bis course. He holds
his throne by popular election, and cannot
claim to be the defender Of legidmist preten.
sions When, therefore, he attempts to arrest
the popular will In Naples, which has just
are forced to the conclusion that he
Ia about TO play the selfish game attributed to
him, and having for its object the further ag-
grandkement Of bis empire. For this II seems
be is making enormous military preparations;
but, as Count Cavour proudly remarked in his
twenty-five millions Of freemen are not TO be
intimidated into obeying the beheets Of France
or Of any other Power, when they are In op-
position TO their just rights.
From what we have just stated II will be seen
that much remains TO be done before Italy can
be placed beyond the dangers Of reaction, or Of
bad faith on the part OF her imperial ally. The
strain upon her resources has been very great,
and Der means cf meeting IL have been diminished
by the withdrawal OF large proportion Of her
abebodied population from industrial pursuits
Ready as are her people TO bear the heavy
burden Of taxation which the maintenance Of
large ornaments imposes upon them, their
ability cannot keep pace with their viii. Now
is the time for their friends and sJmpathizsrs
in other countries TO come 10 their aid. Wien
we can raise sixty thousand dollars for the
Pope and twenty thousand for the Syrian suf
ferers, we surely can do something for the
gallant and heroic people who are wasing the
same contest that we had 10 pA~ through
before We could secure cur liberties Let
public meetings be al once called In every
city, town and village throughout the Union
TO raise funds in aid OF the Italian patriots.
