villa in the best part of Paris, for which he has
engaged to pay &c., 00,-two-thirds down,
and the remainder he liquidates by the trans
fer of two estates on the shores OF the bay of
Naples, pretty incontestible evidence that he
will not be wanted for some time TO come IN
his old quarters"
Such change in Italy such great move
ment towards free principles, such majestic
overthrow and accommodation of depotism,
cannot tail TO produce sensation among the
defenders of absolutism and dynastic authority
throughout Europe. The triumphant progress
of freedom in Italy will probably lead to new
diplomatic combinations, and may lead to a
general war Louis Napoleon evidently seeks
to have the revolution without the war. We
hope he will succeed; but Russia is astir.
The Liverpool Times goes on =
"The events which are now occurring in the
south of Italy are drawing Austria and Russia
closely together. Austria is evidently antci
patng conflict with the Italians for the re-
tention OF Vene. ia, and she is also threatened
with another insurrection in Hungary. Ii the
first outbreak should occur, the second will
assuredly follow. The recent intelligence
from Pesth leaves little doubt that the train is
already laid for the confagration. Gen Ben
edek has determined to resign the governor
ship of Hungary, on the ground that he cannot
reconcile himself to the idea OF doing what the
authorities at Vienna require-namely, to
shoot and hang those who are likely to rise in
instruction to regain their national liberties
Another, and perhaps still stronger motive,
is said TO influence him the belief that, in the
event OF a conflict, the army cannot be relied
on. The army in Hungary consists, for the
most part, OF Bohemians, Poles, and Germans,
but they are said to sympathlze with the
wrongs of the people among whom they are
thrown, and will not fight tor the Hapsburgs.
In confirmation OF this fact, it is mentioned
that large number Of officers have thrown
up their commissions, and others remain only
to assist the Magyars when the opportunity
arises. A gentleman IN Pesth informs Lon
don contemporary that Gen. Benedek has hon.
estly acquainted the Viennese government
with these facts, and the Information has caus-
ed no little excitement in official circles in the
Austrian capital
To avert such catastrophe, Russia it is
stated, has addressed very threatening letter
to the court of Turin. 1t is assumed in this
communication that Piedmont will assist Carl
baldi in an armed intervention for the indie
pendence of Venetia, and Victor Emmanuel
is deliberately told that Russia will regard such
an ac4 as an lnifacuOn OF the rights OF nations,
and that Piedmont will thus be responsible Tor
the consequences of a general war in Europe.
1t is said, that each Of the Five Great Powers
has expressed the intention OF maintaining a
strict neutrality in the Italian complication, and
Piedmont is advised to follow the same dis
Greet policy. 1t is said that the despatch in
question was communicated to the Cabinets
OF Vienna and Berlin, and warmly approved
by them. How far the court of Turin will
regulate its conduct in conformity with the
desires Of Russia must depend in a great mea
sure on the views which the emperor OF the
French entertains at this crisis. He is said
to have declared that if Naples be annexed to
Sardinia the latter power will be more than
a match for Austria, and the course Of events
in Italy may assume form which will COM
pei Sardinia to disregard the threats OF the
Colossus OF the north But wateyer may take
place, it is clear that better understanding
exists than formerly between ST. Petersburg
and Vienna"
