TURIN, Feb. 25, 1862.
For the last few months public opinion was artificial
" prepared both in England and France, for the re-
cognton Of the South the breaking of the blockade,
and F,ropean intervention in favor of cotton; bu. the
grea, conspiracy which at the moment OF the arrest OF
Messrs Slidel and Mason seemed 10 have fully sue
ceeded, failed completely by the intense anti
Slavery feeling Of tho people. The friends OF Tie
South tried in the beginning to prove that 1t is free
trade and not Slavery which lies at the bottom OF
Secession, but this fallacy soon ezploded their
great battlehorse is now the proposition that The
blockade is Intellectual and ought therefore not to be
respected, according to the resolutions OF the Paris
Congress They show by Official Secession docu-
ments that above FIVE hundred British and few
French vessels have successfully broken the
blockade, and Liverpool merchants frantics'ly
applaud the returns. Sill, sober public opin-
ION answers, if the blockade 10 not efectGal

it then that we do not get the wanted cotton for
our millsl A. TO the English and French Govern
ments they DO not dare strictly to insist upon the
resolution Of the Paris Congress about the blockade
since it is a two-edged sword, which, in the first
great war, may seriously injure them. They have
not yet forgotten the way in which they most inef-
fectusly blockaded tor long time the Rio

Argentine Republic. Some Southern politicians

Our heart beats for freedom. purely political war,
conducted with mastery inactivity, exhausting the
r~sources of the country without any result, cannot

ticsl war which lie not even interesting by important

,,opulations sink into misery on tccoupt Of q
staaabsle between two sets Of politicians
who both fight Tor power, not for free

any other result but the exclusion Of cotton from the

America In Hungary, raw recruits were led into
battles against Austria, but, Of course, we were
beaten as long as they were commanded by staff
officers OF the regular army. AZ soon the generals
were chosen from among the ieutenants, the
uowned Austrian Field.lIgrshalS were driven from
the country. In Italy, too Radehky was beaten
BY the population, but remained victorious against
Charles Albert's Piedmontsse generals. Garibaldi
again defeated the regulars OF Francis H., and We
are Ger ain that Fremont would have done bravely,
where the regulars, brought up for the Circumlocu-
tion Ofce, chow their aptitude How rot TO Go il, in

Here in Italy we sball zee Ministerial crisis
