LORD JOHN RUSSELL ON THE REVOLUTION.
| The Cologne Ga-sffs publishes the following Os the
text of dispatch addressed by Lord John Russell to Sir
james HUDSON British Ambassador at Turin under date
Of the 3st of August last
LoSDOS, Friday, August ST. 1860.
SR Although Count Cavour ia reply TO that you
were requested TO hand TO him did not give statement
of his intentions precise aud complete as the Govern
nent Of Her Majesty might have desired and expected,
neyeheessi did not think necessary follow the mat
ter further.
IL considered that in Substance that note put aside all
idea of attack upon the States Of the Emperor of Aus ia
or upon those he King Of Nepes aud that the
time il obliged the King Ol Sardinia TO the
sion of any portion of the Italian territory, naturally
priirg the Island OF Sardinia in that public engagement
/ saw public engagement; because in his Count
Cayour refers speech made by himself in the Of
the Government OF the King in the sitting Of tue Cham
ber Of Deputies Of the 26th Of May.
Sti although Austria, France aud England have ap-
stained from all interference in Sicily aud Naples there
nevertheless exists fear at Paris and Vienna that the
annexation Of the Roman aud Neapotan ates may be
followed by attack by the Italian forces upon the We
ntan possessions OF the Emperor of Ausril. II is clear
that snch an attack could not take place without The
sent of the King of Sardinia 1t is equally clear that,
taking legal view OF the question: the King OF Sardinia
has for breaking the treaty Of Zurich recently
concluded aud signed. The King of Sardinia was free
not TO accept the prelminares of Viairanca and the
treaty Of Zlrich but having renOunced continuation
of the war; after having given his Royal word to live in
peace and friendship with Austria he is longer free to
cast aside bis obligations, and direct Wanton attack
against neighboridg Prince
II is moreover evident in the present case that inter-
ests 20 handin hand with the prescriptions of duty
An attack against he Austrian enemy encamped behind
powerful fortresses is not undertaking in which
cess may be reasonably expected. And II such al
tack should fail, AZ Doad perhaps offer 10 Austria the
desired opportunity of restoring The RomdgHa 10 the
| Pope, aud Tuscany TO The Grand Duke.
IA To ha NJ
acts would be considered by France irreconcilable
with the treaty Of Zurich yet such acts would certainly
be detrimental to the independence Of Italy and to
her future tranquility The King Of SArdida in gaining
Lombardy, Parma and Modena, but losing Savoy Nice
and Tuscany would longer b. able arrest Austria
who would be fighting for good cause.-the preserva
tiou of her territory aud the redemption Of her military
honor. The only hope left to Sardinia in such
excite a European We trust US-s will
not give way TO such dangerous Illusions. The Great
Powers bent upon the maintenance OF peace and
Great Britain has interests in the AdriAc over which size
keeps most careful watch.
The Ministers of the King of Sardinia may preserve
Europe from such danger by following exactly the poll
CIV laid down in Count Cayours dispatch OF the 3Oth
May The Government OF her Majesty does not ask for
anything more than faithful execution Of that policy.
The British government is willing 10 take into account
the sentiments aud demonstrations 10 which Count Ca
your audes nlractions of international law which the
limited powers Of the municipal authorities cannot pre-
vent although in the opinion OF many Courts oil Europe
this indulgence the part OF Great Briai has been
thought excessive Under all circumstances without
gard TO what nocturnal enterprises may be undertaken
arder the protection OF vessels belonging to villages along
the coast il is quite clear that army attack the
Aus frontier without distinct order from the King
These Obseryaons to worthy Of the serious at
,enton OF the Sarduian Government.
You arc authorized TO read this dispatch to Count Ca
your, and to leave him copy.
