The object of Lord Cowley's mission to
London was to resume negotiations between
England and France, which were instituted
by the former and interrupted by Count
Walewski's proposition. The principle of
these negotiations was non-intervention in
the affairs of Central Italy.
France, adopting the same basis, is desir-
Gus that the whole of Europe should give
its formal assent to the principle with this
view.
Lord Cowley was solicited to sound the
feeling of the British Cabinet as to the adj
visibility of addressing collective note to
the European Cabinet. ss.r
In this note an infraction of the principle
of non-intervention was to be treated as
casus belA.
The British Cabinet, while expressing its
readiness to support the principle of non-in-
tervention, either at the Congress or in its
communication with the foreign powers,
pointed out the impossibility of pledging it
self, without the consent of Parliament, to a
course of policy which might possibly in
volve hostilities.
The feeling of the Northern Courts gave
rise to some fear that Europe would not pas
sively submit to 50 threatening an intima-
ton, and which also implied the adoption of
principles opposed to the independence of
every State which possesses the right of
forming alliances, as it may think proper, at
its own risk and peril.
The British Cabinet having thus declined
the proposition to enter into engagements
having such an important bearing, an early
meeting of the Congress was again revived.
