Decidedly the chiefest personage of the corps dipioma- (ique now engaged ‘in Paris is the Count de Cavour, the Sarcipian plenipotentiary. In @ former letter, I alluded to tho logical Iue'dity with which the Count had developed the Italian qaestion.as whole; and I mentioned the deep sensation his statements had produeed among the mew hers of the Congres+ assum- bled at the Hotel for Foreign Affairs. I drew atten‘ion particulariy to the new bcrp empathy towards the cause 01 Ireécom instanced by Count Orloff and Bacon de Branow, when, with words of fire, M. de Cavour spoke of priestly misrule and profiigacy, of Neapolitan treachery aod Syzeasy, of Austin eeragery and svulafon, Laye row to mpeak of the influent which this extraor. dinary Man ts said to exorciae over the mind of the im- peror Nepoleom. It is, however, proper, before entering further into par- ticnlars, to presoise that all Napoleon’s antecedents are in favor of italian independence. It is known that to early life be bore arms in that nervice. It is impossibie, also, but that bis ancestral prejudices must grea ly ais- pore his mind towards the emansipation of Italy. There {t wae that he spent muob of bis youth and curly marhoos; there it was that the founder of his hotse first became famous, nd from thenes it waa tbat the second of his mame derived Lis title. His uncle, Fogene, was Viceroy, and his nephew the Kirg of Rome. And now, whea the Sardinia Favoy, with eloquence worthy of the palmy days of Latin orators, stands before bio ad cleara away the speoions sophistry of Austia, the Jeruitry of Papal subtlety, or the slimy, adder-like insiouations of Sicilian turpitude, ft eeems, bis Majesty cancot, for the very life of Lim, cespite his caution, his sense of responsibility, bis exalted position, withhold his sympathy, M. de Cavour bas been repeatedly been closeted by tho hour together with his Majen:y. Napcleon makes no s*- cret of what passes between them, or at least ‘elie wo much of it as be wishes tobe known. Yesterday a small party dined at the Tuileries. The company were oi an uncflicial character; but somethirg was ssid about Kome, when the Emperor immediately took up the word. “Ay, mdeed,” said he, “what is to be done there? We eannot be ever going ou keeping troops to hold the Jialians down. Oavour cec’ared the temporal rule of the clergy imporsible apy longer, and prop3éd a division of autho- rity while there is time. ‘It isa hard mut t> crack tnis question,’ to use the words of the Jate Experor Nicholas; but no man can listen to Cavour without being moved. Hs ua wastered the whole subject, and yesterday stirred my very scul by the broad, iotelligent principles he isid cown as to the best course te be pursued. He has cor- tainly my good wishes.”’ ‘This Jarguago in the mouth of any other person would be nothing, but in that of one who can turp the world upside down by his decree, it is a great deal, The words were cvicently uttered to be repeated, and, two hours attor, were, in fact, busfly discussed ina neighboring talocn, where I heard them. After all, they need excite no surprise. Tt was not likely that the government of Sardinia would have taken the grave step it did im joining the Western alliance egainst so fermidabe a Power as Russia. if some secret guarantee bad not been given it which would attord it \nereaaed power to struggle sgainst the tyraonical, treacherous oud Jesurtical inflvences which on all «ides surround the Court of Turin.
