Tae speech of the Ewperor to M. Hubner on New Year’s day in- creased the general alarm, which hag extended to this country; and althongh subsequently a more courteous treatment of the Austrian Minister was displayed at the Tuileries, and the Moniteur bas sae reassure the public mind, the agitation is not diminished. Her government have such entire confidence in your Excellency’s tact and judgment that they feel that no given instructions can be #0 useful as a full lil left to your Excellency to take advantage of the most fitting occasions to urge upon the Emperor and upon his ministers the paramount importance of preserving the peace of Europe under any circumstances in which the ‘vital interests of France itself are not imperilied. Her Majesty's government received and hailed with siticere rances with which, in 1852, the Emperor of the French consecrated his election to the Throne, Those assurances were, that his Imperial Majesty would observe and maintain the troaties which were then the law of Europe, and her Majesty’s govern- ment are bound to say that no pledge was ever more faith- and loyally kept. by Furopean Toeustlt of an unbroken alliance between ‘England and France has been the result of that honorable policy, and her Majesty’s government, who believe that the ‘of Europe is ever in the bands of those two groat empires, feel the deepest anxiety whenever France appears likely to be in hostility with any of the great Powers of the continent Her Majesty's government must etate to your excellency that, in the evident il humor displayed reciprocally be- tween France and Austria at this moment, they can con- ceive no great national question or imterest involred which can reasonably cause such a feeling. No portion of the territory of elther is threatened by the other; no commercial privileges are asked or refused by either; no point of national honor is at stake in either country. ‘The solution of a sentiment which has ap; Drought these two States to the verge of collision appears to hor Majesty’s government to be found in mumal faults Of temper and indiscretion on the part of the two govern- ments, and neither party appears disposed to make such sacri- ices as would put an end to the panic which they have caused ‘and the practical evils which they may create. It is Under these circumstances that an impartial State Ike England is justified in pro‘fering to her two allies the best and most sincere advice that she can give. T repeat that I trust to your excellency to perform this duty, and I hope you will not omit to point out to the French government that, while no French interest is at stake between France and Austria, there is a Biate and there are persons who, to increase its territory and fortify their personal position, ardently desire to involve two powerful empires in a war from which they expect to ob. tain those results. ‘That war, if it be what is expected, namely, an Italian war, can reither be short nor decisive. Jt may begin asa conflict in which three monarchies are engaged, but looking at the soil on which it will bz waged, and the elements which it will contain, it must before long expand into a war ¢ opinions. Amumg these theories your may assured that those of a republican hue will not be the faintest. Of such a war France would have to bear the Viet expenditure of blood and treagure against a foe possessing t military power, and a determination to use it to the last; while the phases of the contest fale ew life to that dreaded co! who look in anarchy alone for a re- alization of their avarice or ambition. Her Majesty’s government have already pressed upon Austria apalogous advice, and they believe that they will also be aided in their counsels by the Court of Russia. Her Mejesty’s government would wish your Excellency to go further, and fravkly to enter into the present state of Italy with the French government. I am aware from the conversation which Lord Clarendon held lately at Compiegre with the Emperor, and which his lordship repeated to me, that his Imperial Majes- ty has long looked at the interns! state of Italy with interest and anxiety. It may be, although Ihave no reason for believing such is the case, that imagines that in a war with Austria, and baving Sardinia as an ally, he may play the important part of the regene- rator of Italy. Jf t0, the treaties of 1815 must bz effaced, for such a redistribution of territory could not be eifected without the consent 6t the parties to those treaties. But those compacts have insured to Earope the longest peace ‘on record, and, in the opinion of her Majesty's govern- ment, +till arswer their original purpose in maintaining the balance of power. I would not, however, have your Excellency believe that her Majesty’s government are indifferent to the just discontent which aifects a large portion of tho Yalan populations. Yetit is not in a war between France and Avstria that their relief isto be found. Such a war may bring about a change of masters, but assurediy it will not give them independence, and’ without indepen dence liberty is hopelees. Her Majesty’s government are convinced that it is in the union and good understanding of France an4 Austria that an amelioration and gradual improvement of the coa- dition of the Italiaus can be now begun and floa ly effected. If, happily for that people, those two governments would occupy themselves serious!y to insist upon and carry owt the reforms demanded by both justice and policy in’ cea- tral Italy, they would doubtless succeed In an eifort e0 glorious for both countries, and go bene- ficial to Austria, ber Majeaty’s government ‘world hearti- ly join, although they are of opanion that, as a Protestant country, England shinld not take too prominent a part, Vt the should cacile a suspicion. that, the was swayed,by motives of a sectarian character. If Prussia and Rovsia spproved, they would stand in the same light as #nogland; and if it should appear to the two great R th oli¢ empires that any modification of the torritovial distribu- tion of Central Italy would contribute to the peace of the country and good government of the people, withont on feebling the spiritual authority of the Pope, her Majesty’s government would be ready, together with the other Powers who were parties to the treaties of 1815, to give it their best consideration. These views of ber Majesty’s government y lency will propound to the French governm have a fitting opportunity, Your Excellenoy's tack is to avert, if porsibie, the curse of a war, which Tam can vince’ would be one of the loogest ani bioodiest on re- ord, in which all the woret passions of contlicting theo pretenders and adverse races would be min gled in a deadly struggle. It js also to urgea peacefal course of action, in liew of a policy 80 pregnant with those calamitica, MALMES8URY, THE RAM, OF MALMESBURY TO LORD A LOFTS, Forsiay Orrice, Jan. 12, 1859, My Lorp—I have to instruct your lordebip to take an early opportunity of stating to Count Buol that ber Ma Jesty’s government have witnessed with much concern the increasing estrangement between Austria and Franc Which has at last become s0 notorious as to produce a general impression that Europe is on the eve of witnessing acontest between thore two Stats, and that the battle field selected by them will be Italy. On two occasions—one more than a month ago—I atated to Count Apponyi, verbally, the apprehensions of her Ma Jesty’s government, and ‘ventured to give him their ‘views and opinions in the form of advice. Tuey were ‘nalsgous to thore which I vow submit to your lordship. Her Majerty’s government, therefore, Lave hoped, and still continue to hope, that maturer reflection oa both sides will avert a calam: @ results of which no human fore- sight can divine; and, deprecating al! offic’ous iaterterenca with Avatrian effairs ur lordship can scarcely fina it necessary to assure Count Buol that we ure ready and Bpxious to exert oor utmost influence to asavaga ant moeities and explain away cauees of offence, if only a dis. Porition is shown by either party to avail itself of our good Offices for that purpose. It appears, indeed, to her Majesty's g the existing ill feoling betwern the two imperial Cour has its origin, not 20 much in any real and patent cause of disagreement, as in mutual distrust of each other's views and intentions, and consequent dispoaition to give favorable. couruction to every measure to which either party may have reconree. There are no questions ot ter- Titorial claim or occupation, none of commercial injury, or of disregarded righte, which can be alleged on either side ag justifying the coliness and reeerve, not to say suspicious irritability, which characterises their press Exeel- when you mment that daive @ quarrel wiih her. Her blajoaty’s government, therefere, urge your lordship to take every opportuae cecee’on to impress thie truth upon the Austrian govera- i A 1! frackly tell Count Brol that should eved 6 Bt ag we depiecate bo the result of the pre- sent estrangement between Franco and Anstria, woud remaio @ neutral spectator of the contest, and that in no case would public opiniom in this country render it possitle for her to assut Austria as against her own subjects, if the coniet assumed the aypect of a revoution of her Ttelian provinces against her government. The public opinion ip England bas a natural tendenoy t> sympathize with Ttalian nationalities, but hor Majesty’s wovercment believe that thoee sympathies would not bs aroused to apy active form ageinst Ausiria, unless Aus- tria put herself patently in the wrong, and either became Sn ogg’ cesor or gave France or Sardinia a fair excuse for Deginning a war. Her Majeety’s government do not deny that Austria has cause of upessivessiin Italy, but they maintain that it cannot be mitigated or removed by plunging into war with France or Sardinia. If Austria and France could be in- duced to take « just estimate, not only of t>eir own poliii- cal interests, but of the course which would most ae ally contribute to the happinces of the Italian [gare throughout the whole extent of the peninsula, Majes. ty’s government feei that the work would be already half accomplished, and the rest of Europe, instead of looking forward with anxiety to the future, would only have to congratulate itaelf on the prospect at length opening to ‘them of Italian regeneration unstained by deeds of vio- lence and bloodshed. No one looking on the state of Italy cam doubt that many causes of just discontent are to be found in the general administration of the country, and hor Majesty’s government, Lieyreg o as they unquestionably do, with the sufferings of the Italian population, would gladly lend their best efforts to produce an amelioration in the existing state of things. But they know that such amelio- ration can never be effected with any cortainty of per- manency by war. It may produce a change of masters, ‘bat it will not confer ae it may, perhapa, contribute to the elevation of some fortunate individuals, ‘Dut it will ensure the disorganization of the whole social syatem, ‘and indefinitely retard the material improvement riebip Maj but little doubt that if Austria and France—the formor an Italian, and both Roman Catholic States—Iaying aside mutual suspicion, were to join heartily with a viow to promote, by peaceful means, the regeneration of Italy, their combined influence would speedily effect a change in the present unbappy state of affairs, and contribute to establish confidence between rulers and their subjects, Her Majesty’s government have not failed to press upon the government of France considerations auch as these, and they have not hesitated to express their con- viction that France, though she may have no material stake at iesue, could have little or notbing to gain in an Italian war. As the common friends, then, of both parties, and as sincerely desirous of the welfare of the Italian peopie, her Mojeety’s government entreat the two Imperial Courts to lay aside their animosities and to act in peaceful concert for that important object. Her Majesty’s government think that it would not only be becoming in Austria, from her peculiar position in Italy, but also advantag-ous to her in Sa poblie opinion of Europe, if she were to make the first advances, and propose to the French government to join with her in considering the best means of reforming the glaring abuses in the Papal dominions which occupy central Italy. Austria is ap Italian 3tate, and both Aus- tria and ince are now occupying the Papal territory witb their troops, Such a position cannot be lasting, and her Majesty’s government submit to both Austria and France that it is their public duty to terminate, if possible, a state of things which has become intolerabie. Yeur lordship may assure Count Buol that the earnest suppot of ber Majesty’s government will not be withheld at Paris from any overtures which the Cabinet of Vienna may there make for the establishment of a good under- standing with France with regard to Italy, or for giving effect to her praiswortby efforts. Her Majesty's government would further be prepared to contribute, as much as in them lies, to make any pro- Positions, emenating froma such a common understanding on the part of Austria and Franco, acceptable to the par- ties in Italy to whom they might be addresset. If it should appear to Austria and France, the two great Roman Catholic feel it after mature counsel on the sub- Ject, that og d modification of the existing territorial ar- rangements in Central Italy would be likely to contribute to the peace of the country and the good government of the people, her Majesty's government would be prepared, in conjunction with other Powers by whom the present order of things was established in 1815, to give their best consideration to any measures calculated, without en- feebling the spiritual power of the Pope, to effect objects 80 desirable in the interests of humanity, and go im- portant as regards the general peace of Europe. But her Majesty’s government are of opinion that, at the outset of the endeavors which might be made by Aus- tria and France to induce any of the sovereigns of tral Italy to agree to, and carry out, such reforms in the inter- nal administration of their dominions as may be required. by justice and sound policy, it would not be expedient Greaney should appear to take the initiative or pro- m part. So much of ecclesiastical polity is involved in these questions, more especially as regards the Papal Statcs, that the interference of a Protestant country in the proposed reforms might be looked upon with suspicion, and rather injure than benefit the cause. ‘It appeare, therefore, to her Majesty’s government to be essential that Austria and France, by reason of their more direct interest in, and the means they can bring to bear on matters at issue. should take a leading part in their adjustment; leaving it to her Majesty’s government, ond lo those of Prussia and ia, equaily dissenting with Uumaelves from the Church of Rome, to support, by such means as they might deem most advisable, the efforts of the Catholic Powers to induce the Pope and other Italian sove- reigns to sanction a change of system for the benefit of their respective subjects. our lordship will enter fully, with Count Buol, on this important subject, and you will earnestly ress upon him the expediency of’ an early decision, while there is yet time for an honorable and amicable understanding being effected with France. The present opportunity once lost, no other may present iteelf, until the resources of both coun: frics ave wasted ina war undertaken by the aggressor, who- ever he moy Ue, for no national purpose, and defensible by nee of morality. MaALMESBURY. im the 12th of January the co operation of Russia to |p the general ee of Europe was earnestly so- cited, through Sir J. Crampton, at the same time that the Gisposition of that Power, constantly shown since the peace of 1856, to cultivate the friendship of France, was fully recognized. The same appeal was made to Prussia, and the anxiety of our government was freely expressed tothe Court of Sardinia (January 13) on the menacing state of affairs. The account of & conversation between Earl Cowley and the Count Walewski, on the 13th of January, ia too important to be omitted. It is given in the following despatch :— RARL COWLEY TO THE EARL OF MALMESBCRY, Paris, Jan. 14, 1859, Thad a long and not an unimportant conversation with Count Weleweki this afternoon. I went to his Exceliency for the purpose of communicating to him the substance of your lordehip’s despatch of the 10th inst. (No.5), rela- tive to the present political crisis, and with this view I intercourse, Yet it appears to her Majeety’s government | that neither party evinces a sincere disposition to come to & frank understanding with the other, or to make any sacrifices, however unimportant, to bring about ao desir- able a result. ‘With these impressions, it must be evident to the Aus. trian government tho\ vo tuscem|y wisn to interiere with its independent line Zot inot'on Ys government to tender ther (dy Vice ig offered from a sincerY esire whee ner prosper as one of the most important¥inembers wf the family of States, and as one of her Majeety’s mos allies. Her Majesty’e government therefore desire your | sbip, while there is yet time, to piace before ths In Court some considerations whicn they hope may co without influence at the present crisis. It ia impoesible toceny that a war once begun in Italy ‘would soon aszume the character of = revolutionary con test, and no buman foresight can perceive what resu: would remain to Europe when, after a long and despar. contest, the combatarts hat eunk from exhaustion into peace. ’ Such a war, however begun at first, would soon b Gdopicd as one of dynastics and opiniims, ‘in which exit pretenders and every class of pelitical therists would see the possible realization of thir wishes. It cannot be presteated that France would be a gainor from such a state of things. On contrary, it is proba ble that she woul be far from flating ber acdount in it, But it is certain thet Awetria,even if she were wo come out of the contest triumpbant, would guffer to an irrepara- ble extent in ail ber material ‘ntereete, It is with sincere plessuse that her Majesty's government pay & just tribute to 4 admitting that ‘the government of her I vinces has ‘been conducted by the Viceroy tion and liberality which does h greater, Archduke with great ability, and in @ spirit of concilia- imperial highness the aovor.

I should neither do justice to your lordship nor to Count Waleweki himeelf if I refrained from recording the pro- found impression which tho argument ranniog through that despatch made upon his Excellency. Some of the paseages he requested me to read twice over, others at once €licited his warmest approval; and Ido’ not allow myeelf to doubt that the tenor of your lordship’s remarks will be faithfuily conveyed to the Emperor. I particularly pointed out to Count Walewski the total digintereatedness of the advice proferred by her Majesty's government; for of al! quarters of Europe, I observed, a war in Italy-would be least prejudicial to the material in- terets of Great Britain. Atter hearing me, and expressing in general terms his | appreciation of the masterly statement which I read to bim, hie Excellency said that he wonld state at once that, eerious as was the aspect of affairs, it would not be render- ed more geriovs by aty proceedings on the part of France. France bad no wish to go to war, or to induce others to go to war; and it she took up arms it would be on a question of right, and in the defence of existiog treaties. Such, his Excellency eaid, wae the Emperor's firm determination. His Majeaty would not declare war if unprovoked, or him- self provoke a war on the port of others, and if others would be as prudent as his Maj-sty the crists would pass over. The reverte of the medal was to be looked for in the sible tmprudence of other Powers; the gravity of the crisis Was to be sought elsewhere. So long as Austria remained Witbin her own frontier, aio might act as she pleased; he would guarantee there would be no interference from France; but Lt her once march a soldier into any other | part of aly, xo-pting the Legatios, he vould answer for nothing. He did pot mean to declare that, even shen, France would interfere, but, in al! probabi ity, Sardinia would, when the complications which might ensue might invoive all Europe. In one word, he looked upon the peace of Furope as being at this moment in the hands of Austria. Count Walewski assured me, further, that the Em- Peror's instructions to Prince Napoleon on his imperial igbness’s departure for Tarin had been o! a most pacific character, The views of the ministry of the Far! of Derby respect ing the benring of the question upon the interests of the Pope are expounded in the following despatch. We invite Particular attention to the declaration of her Majesty's go- ‘veroment to maintain a strict nentrality, in paragraph 6:— 1HE RikLg? ‘MALMESIURY ‘evailing appreb: m3 of apprcaching trou- ‘owing out of, or followed by, a war be- tween Avetrisfd France in 'that country, cannot have failed to makés serious impression on the Papal govern. ment, and to i it to consider what effecta such a cala- mity may have on the temporal power of the Pope. ler Majcety’s government are exerting themselves, and will ger to use their utmost efforts, to prevall upon thégovernments whom public rumor designates a3 jo embark in this contest, to refrain from pur. fuing thé’acrimonious discuesions which have of late i terrupted their amicable relations, and, on the contra to unite cordially in a common course of action, with the view, if possible, 1g by moral influence such an trPTovement in the general atate of Italy as, by allaying the discontent which a large proportion of the Italian —_ *o justly feel at the system of government under which they live, may at ence improve the social condition of people, and establiah feelings of confidence and gcod will betweeuthem and their rulers. Whether, in the state of feeling that now exists between the governments of Austria and France, there needs any ineurrectionary movement in Lombardy or any part of Italy to give an excuse for an open rupture between those two Powers, certain it is that both are looking forward te and preparing for the day when their armies shall stand in hostile array each other on the plains of Lom- bardy.

Her Majesty’s iment are aware that, ‘rom af finity of religion and from the military position whic Austria and Fraace at present ora in the Roman Stats, the initiative ofa ttem pt in this jon most properly 88 to those two Powers, and that Great Britain, Prus- and Rugsia, standing in both respects on a dilferent footing, could not advantageously to assumoa pro mineni part in any such measure. her Majesty’s go vernmcnt have intimated their readiness to contribute, as far as their assistance may be likely to avail, to bring about a better order of things in Italy. Tho govern ment and people of thie country sympathize slacerely with the wrongs of the Italian people, but they feel that those ‘wrongs will be redressed more effectually by peaceful than by violent means. They look forward with alarm to the beginning of disturbances in Italy, whether origivatiog in insurrection or in war, because they are atsured troubles once begun will speedily oversproad tho whole country, and that the conflict which will arise mus! inevi- tably dieorganize atill. more its entiro social system, and be artended with an amount of human misery which caa- not be ee without diemay. Tn eny such contest, indeed, the part which this country would have to play is aufliclently indicated by its lo: potiton and the gen tendency of its political institu. tions. A war in Italy would not directly affect any mate. rial British ipteresis; neither would it be consistent with our politica! principles to interfere otherwise than by ad- vico in internal affairs of the Italian States. Therefore, her Majesty’s gov: would consider it incumbent upon them to observe the strictest neutrality between the contending parties, and would not see in the strogglo while in progress, or in its result as ong as it sbould be confined to Italy, any justifiable motive for as- suming apy other attitude in regard to it tbac that of a spectator, deeply lamenting indeed the calamities which thes night wituess, but decliping any active part in a contest not directly affecting British interests, and begun, aa they would consider it, by the obief actors ia it with- out apy auflicient cause.

The reeolve of our government to adhere to a policy of neutrality and to the treaties of 1815 waa expressly de. clared by Lord Bloomfield to the Baron de Schleinitz (Jan. 13). Baron Schieinitz entertained no hope at this time that any advice likely to affect the fundamental institu- tions of Rome would be accepted either by France or Aug- tria; he even hints at the probability of “incalculable opposition.” A conversation of Earl Cowley with the Emperor of the French on the relations of France and Augtria is thus described:— RARL COWLRY 10 THE EARL OF MALMESHURY, Paris, Jan. 19, 1859. Having taken measures for brin; ing to the Emperor's knowledge portions of your lordehip’s despatch of the 10th inst. (No. 5), concerning the state of the relations between France and Austria, and the general appreben- sion that war might be the consequence, bis Majesty was pleased, in a conversation which I bad with him yester- day evening, to advert to these matters, é His Mojesty, in admitting that great alarm and disqui- chide prevailed, caidl hat he in ie ‘unable to divine the reason of it; he not aware of anything that rendered war more probable to-day than it was three ago; nor had he the slightest wish or intention to one. It was true that about a fortnight ago he bad received a preasing letter from the King of Sardinia, stating that he (the Kirg) hua ioformation, on which he could rely, that he was about to be atlacked by Austria, aad entreating bim (the Emperor) to give bim such aseistance as would ena- ble bim to bring up his outlying troops to the Austrian frontier, On the receipt of this letter, the Emperor con- tinued, be bad stopped the embarkation of two batteries of artillery which bad been desticed for Algeria, but he had taken no otber precautions whatever, and he supposed that this must bave alarmed the public mind. *« What I said to M. de Cavour,”’ continued his Majesty, “T repeat now; my sympatbics always have been, and still are, with Italy.

I ‘tated to Court Buol that your lordstip’s ictention and | wish was not to inflame the italian mind or to raise hopes | which could not be pacifically realized. Your lordship had given the eoundcst advice to the Cabinet of Turia not to commit any wilful infraction of the peace, and you had deprecated in the strongcet terms apy attempt to carry ovt the reforms required in Italy by physical force, and had advocated at Paris, as well as here, the desirablences of harmotious understanding between Austria and Frazcecn the affairs of Italy. “There are,’ I observed to his Excellency, ‘two courses to pursue with respect to Italy, where the present | state of things is intolerable, and cannot last. The re- forms, which must inevitabiy be made, can be effected by peaceful negotiation, and the estabiishment of a com- | be egreement between Austria and France, with far | more cbance of eventoal success than by the ruinous ac. tion of war. Such is the course urged on your attention and recommenced by ber Majesty’s government. The oth- er courte and only alternative must be, eventually, revo- lution and war; snd I haveno doubt that sour Exceilency will sgree that remedy ip the last alternative is as Capgtrous es the evil which it seeks to cure.” I recalled to bimn the opinions enunciated at the Conference of Paris, | when the continued occupation of the Roman States was | ackrowledged to be an irregular state of things which could not last and gerved only to perpetuate the bid go- | vernment of thcee States. If amounted almoat to an an- nexation, which war oppoeed to the epirit of the European treaties. " If, therefore, I eaid, you will do nothing by peaceful reaps, and in concert with Fratce, for the ameli oration of the I:slian governmente, be assured that a war Will be inevitable, and no human foresight can tell to what ultimate changes it may lead. You reply, “Wo shall not begin war, We do pot moditate any aggression.” But let me tell you that at this moment the decision of peace or war is 50 longer within the bands of the gov but is transferred into those of the Mazzini and ri ery party, whore nim hes always been to bring about a breach between France and Austria for the aitainment of their omp ends. You are therefore playing the gxm» of the revolutionary party, and yu will inevitably fail into the trap which try have laid. | How to! eaid bie Excellency, I replied, by loudly de claring your intention of giving succor to the minor inde- pendent States of Italy, you will give a pretext for others to oppose euch intervention, and you thus place ‘tin the | bends of Mazz ni, by gettmg yp some disturbarce in Parma oe Modena, {o brivg about that very collision with Piet | mont, and probably, also, with France, which that party are ceerous for. If your Excellency,'T contin gives me the asrurance thai in no case will Austria move a 890i dier acrote ber frontier ia Italy without previous concert with France, then I shail consider that war may be No, said Count Buol, I campot give you that areurance, fcr it would be a surrender of our sovereign power. We eball not intervene in any State unless our aid is asked for, end in that case it will be granted, and the knowledge that it wil! be granted ig the beet prerervative of order. But, Exgellency, let me ask you what you will say to t if she were to attack ue? Teaid Teould not imsgine such aneventuality. Zt wuld bea moure atlack ‘ing ihe lion; but I should then say, what I should equally soy (f you if you move a soldier across your fronti-r, tha’ the i8 the opgresior. » Count Buol then ssid that the agitation and excitement hed greatly subsided in Lombardy since the Austrian reinforcements bad arrived, and that he did not entertain the seme fear ag that with which her Majesty's government were impressed of a disturbance arising in Italy, The eccounta from Paris were also more satisfactory; the pub lic mind and the press were far more calm on 1 reassured Fig Exceiiency add at there was really no question {f difference betwe siti and France, except the Colgrade affsir, might be considered closed find be did not parts. of the alarm fall for tie «, eace of Italy.

He re- celeved his instrudtions on the subject on the 13th of Fe- bruary, and the follow’ interesting despatch gives a summary of the results of the mission:— BARL COWLEY TO THE BARL OF MALMESBURY. ‘Vianna, March 9, 1859, My Lorp—Being on the eve of leaving Vienna on my return to England I am about to give your lordship in this Gespatch a general summary of resulta of the confi- dreadful an occurrence dential mission with which 1 have been , under the note in your lordship’s despatch of 0. the 22d ult., T reached Vienna early on the 27th ult. I had an inter- view with Count Buol on the same day, and on the follow- ing day had the honor to be recoived by the Emperor of Austria. Hardly a day bas intervened since in which I ae bot had lopg Carper ee ee a I do bot propose entering into any details of what passed on these occasions, but shall confine myself to stating that the friendly overtures of her Majcety’s government were received in the same spirit in which were made, and that Count Buol has shown bout the discussions which I have had with him a sincere desire to avoid the ee < war, and ( rer re et mason Be er ty’s government, g0 far as he thought he might ¢o so without compromising the national honor of Aus po I may add that similar feelings were evinced by the The deilcate task entrusted to me by the confidence of ber Majeaty’s government was rendered somewhat easier by the ence which r your lordship a few rime irawal, wi ar, e erdiae y year, Pay territory; and alt! Count Buol has been, and is, up to one wit other his the eentace ine deciated witneat Becta carted m the first, tho readiness ly of the Emperor to oo: with the 's request. He is of opinion, however, that caution will be necessary in withdraw! the troops of oocupa- tion, that insurrections might follow their sudden ro. moval, and that it will be advisable that they should be withdrawn, in the firet instance, reciprocally to Ancona and to Civita Vecchia, and that their final departure should take place some months later, when the Papal go- vernment will have had time to or; in their stead a and police force suflicient to ensure the mainten- public tranquilit Count Buol ests that the ustrian, French and Commanders-in-Chief should mi ance a meet at Rome, in order to sole matters connected with Count Buol expresses himself willing either to resume the negotiation w! had been commenced with the French government upon that subject in 1857, but afterwards allowed to drop by that government and not by him, or to fall back uy the recommendations made M the five Powers to the in 1881.32. He prefers the measure, because he thinks it more likely to be attended with success. He would not, however, object to the former, but in that case the pro- pogai must come from the French government. The mat- ter stands thug: France had made certain A os mer“ to Avstria, to which counter ons bad been offered; but Austria had never been able to obtain the ion of the French gove nment upon these latter. She had more than once asked for that opinion, and it remained with the French government to take the next step. Upon the third point mentioned In your lordship’s despatch of the 22d ultimo, namely, a socurity cor the better relations betweeh the governments of Austria and Sardinia, Count Huol ‘that your lordship must address yourself to Turin. Jt is not, he maintains, from the conduct of Austria that he arent critical state Of affairs has arisen, but from the ambitious and encraach- ‘ing policy yy Sardinia, Austria desires no better than to renew those amicable relations which had for so many years united the two governments, but it could only be done on ore condition—a complete change of externa! po- licy on the part of the Sardinian government. With the internal policy of Sardinia Austria has nothing to do, and has no desire to interfere. Count Buol gives the further assurance that Austria, notwithstanding the provocations which she !'0s recived, bas no intention of att Sar- dinia as long as the S tan troops keep within their own territory; but b sis that as long as Sardinia remains armed there can be no security for peace. I come now to the fourth point mentioned in your Lord- ship’s instruetions—namely, the abrogation or modifica- tion of the Austro Italian treatics of 1847. Even ou this point, on which fAustria is naturally more sensitive than any other, I leave Count Buol not only prepared to act with moderation and forbearance with regard to the ac- tual execution of those treaties, but disposed to examine whether they may be replaced, with the consent of the other [aarp Aen) i hot other combination, which, while r ing Aust from the necessity of an interference the responsibility of which is fully felt, would not risk the chance of the Duchies becoming a prey to re- ‘volution and anarchy. In discussing this question, with a view to its practical solution, it was absolutely necessary to take into couside- ration the dominant feeling in Count Buol’s mind, that the only real danger of revolution to which the Duchles would be ex] would have its source in, and would be sup- ported by, Sardinia, Any echeme, therefore, for replacin; the treaties in question, to havea chance of being acce; by Austria, must take this feeling into account. Two plans presented themselves, and were subjects of cursory conversation between Count Buol and myself. The firat, to which I avow a strong preference should it be pursued further and found practicable, is the recogaition by the great Powers, or by Austria and France alone, of the neu- trality of the ‘territory of Sardinia; the second is a league among the emaller States of Italy for their mutual succor ip case of internal disorder. Count Buol seemed favorably inclined to take into his consideration any proposal having for its object the modification of the treaties of 1847, based ie of these plans. ‘The first of these appeased to me to have the great ad- vantage, not only, if fairly carried into execution, of satis- fying the Austrian government that the Duchies would not be expoted to future danger, but of cutting at once at the root of the existing mischief. For what, infact, is the apparent cause of the presentcrisis in Italy? Sardinia has taken the alarm at what she considers to be the menacing attitude assumed by Austria. She declares herself to be in dager of invasion. Sbebas, consequently, armed beyond her financial means, and she has obtained from the Emperor of the French a qualified promise of as- eistance, which has, in turn, similarly alarmed Austria, and cauged that Power to take military precautions of a moet costly and formidable character. But if Sardinia bad becn a neutrai territory, none of these evils could have happened. Safe from any attack from either of her great ne‘ghbors, Sardinia would have no ozcasion to keep on foot an army ruinous to her flnancee. She could pursue in peace snd tranquility the developement of her com- merce and industry under those free institutions which she has chogen, and, it might be hoped, would become a pattern and example for the reat of Italy to follow. Aus- tria acd the LU Maarae) of Central Italy, on the other band, relieved from all anxiety as to the aggressive policy of Sardinia, might conzent to give up those treaties which have been the cause of so much irritation. It may be said that Sardinia would never consent to sucb an arrangement, but I submit that such consént, although desirable, is not necessary ; all that is required beirg that ottere should agree to respect her territory. ‘The ovher idea, of a league among the Italian States for their mutual defence against revolution, seems to mo more difficult of accomplishment, though, nevertheless, wortby of consideration ehould it be preferred by the par- ties most interested in the question. Befare quitting altogether the subject of the separate treatics, 1 may mention that Count Buo! considers the secret article In the Austro Neapolitan treaty of 1815, which binds the King of Napics not to alter the insttutions of the kiniem without the permission of Austria, to be a dead letter. But, while insieting principally on the four points eape- cially recommended to me by your lordship’s instructions, I bave agcertained Count Buol’s sentiments on the other matters suggested to me by Count Walewski. I will take them in the order in which they are stated in my despatch of the 16tb of February :— 1. The adoption by ail the States of Italy of a system of | agers which would admit of tho taxes being voted y an Assembly of some eort. i ‘Without making any proposal of this nature, I intimated to Count Buol the expediency of reforms in the adminis- tration of these States, Count Buol said that the Austrian government had been much maligned by those who supposed that Austria was opposed to reforms, or had used her influence to prevent them. Op the contrary, he could assure me that her ad- vice bad ever tended to encourage real ameliorations. He was not, however, one of those who imagined that sweep. ing measures suited the nature of the Italian people. Austria respected the right of all sovereigns and nations to model their own institutions. [here was much of which be could not approve in the constitution of Sardinia, but he bad never attempted to interfere with it. On the same principle, he had refrained, and would siill continue to refrain, from all intervention in the internal affaira of other Italian States, who, however, were not go ill govern- ed as it pleased Sardinia to repreeont them to be. 2. Pecuniary aid from all the Roman Catlfolic States to the Pope, for religious purposes, und the consequent re- of taxes levied in the Papal States, Oount Bucl ded not evince the leat dispesttion to entertain ny propoal of the kind. Before closing this despatch, I will beg your lordship’s permission to refer briefly to some of the diflicuitics with which I pave bad to contend in carrying out your lord- ehip’s thetructions. To the Bret piace, J had to encounles a, fixed idea that Prance was determined on war with Austria, and that to make comowswns was but to put cf the evil day. I hope that E have succeeded in partially removing this im- preeeion 'y, the pride of Austria naturally revolts at be- Bt toted the object of attack, and being called ong instigated’ by the auimosity aad embiticn of Tiardly, the attitude assumed by Germany towards Fiarve, by which the Austrian government is naturally arxlore to prow Avd, \aet!y, there being no real question at issue be- tween Austra and France, which can fairly be assumed to involve m cans belli.

The im on Earl Cowley’s yoind on March 18 was that the Fronch Emperor was do- minageetatat reat sympatby with the Italians, and wished to do soi ng for their benefit, On the 11th of April the Earl of Malmesbury, in a letter ‘ged upon the government of Austria the propriety of disarming, and distinctly stated that if the propoeal were declined Austria. rould have placed hereelf in the wrong and forfeited the sympathy of this country.’’” No further concession, he adds, was to be ex) from France. ler Majesty’s government fully approved the proposal for a disarmament of the three Powers before the meeting of the Congress, and expressed a wish to bring to a closo tho “false negotiations” that-bad been going oa, We may conclude our summary with ths following last “ warping” of the British government to Austria after the arbitrary summons which she addressed to Sardinia at the latter end of April:— THE EARL OF MALMESBURY TO LORD A. LOFTUS, Forsicy Orrios, April 22, 1859, My Lorp—I have acquainted you by the telegraph with the strong feeling of indignation against Austria which evaiis in London, in consequence of its having become own that, at the very time that Austria had summoned Sardinia to disarm under penalty of immediate hostilities ip cage of refusal, Sardivia had actually agreed uncondi- tierally to diearm. Your lordship’s language, therefore, te Count Buol cannot be too strong in regard to the course adopted by Austria. ler Majesty’s government are at a loss to imagine on what grounds the Cabinet of Vienna can justify this menace of invasion of Sardinia, now that she has agreed to disarm. 't cannot, surely, be j cf the repreeptatives of Italian States to the Congress; for the Austrian government was itself a consenting party to the admission of them in a certain character, and it is Monet:ous to suppose that a change in that character, whatever it might be, even supposing it were insisted ~~ could warrant Auttria in taking the fatal atep of an ‘nvasion, Her Mojesty’s government feol, after all that has passed, that they are entitled to expect to be informed on this point; and, in order to bring the question to an immediate jesve, you ‘willask Cu rel the march of her armies, and will agree of the representatives of the Italian States as mere delega'es and tut as plenipotentiaries, and will aleo occa the first three points in my proposals ‘of the 18th inst. 7 ay mament to be ¢| by ocmmissioners, and to the mectir of the Congress when those commissioners have com their labors, You will give Coant Buol clearly to understand that the refusal of Austria will entist against her the feelings of the government and of all. classes in this country. You will add that, in making this proposal hor Ma- jeety’s government assume that if Austria should agree to it, the military operations now in progrrss in France would at once be arrceted. As regards, however. the question of Sardinian disarma- ment, I bave to observe that her Majesty’s government still consider it impossible to call upon the Cabinet of Ta- rin at once to disperse the Free corps, a8 such a measure would, in all probability, lead to a revolutionary move- ment in Italy. Tho wisest course would be to keep them together for a while under the Alps, and to effect their disbandment gradually. MALMESBURY, The following strong language, moreover, occurs at tho close of a draught of note, or protest, presented by Lord A, Loftus immediately afterwarés:— Her Majeety’s government can only now deal with the case as it is presented before them—namely, that Austria bas peremptorily summoned Sardinia to disarm, under pe- valty of immediate war; and the undersigned (Lord A. Loftur) is dirccted to say that her Majesty’s government feel it due to themeelves and to the great interests of hu manity which they have so carnestly striven to uphold, aud also to those who bave aided them in their endeavors, solemnly to record their protest against the course that Aus- tria, regardless of the terrible consequences to Europe, and tadifferent to the public opinion of the world, has so rashly, and, as her Majesty’s government believe, so unjustly adopted They assign to Austria and fix upon her the last responsibility Sor all the miseries and calamities inevitabli ri e ton a conflict which was on the eve of being averted, but which, once in, will infallibly produce a more than ordinary amount of social suffering an jitical convulsion. On the 25th of April our government considered the ne. gotiations for a Congress “at an end,” and war unhappily commenced, THE ,RUMORED RUSSIAN AND FRENCH ALLIANCE. Tho “hostile” character (towards Austria) of Russian neutrality is commented upon as early as tho 15ih Febru- ary, by Sir J. Crampton, the English Minister at St. Peters burg. In April instructions were given by tho Earl of Malmesbury to our representatives at Paris and St. Peters- burg, to make inquiries as to the alleged secret treaty be. tweon France and Russia, The French reply is found in the following despatches:— Panzs, April 26, 1859. My Drar Cowizy—They write to me from St. Peters- burg that I bave epoken to you of a secret treaty between Russia and France. Since I desire that not the lightest cloud should obscure our relations, I wish to exp'ain my- eelf very frankly with you, without delay,on this sub ject. You know as well as I do that diplomatic usages do not admit of questions touching secret treaties, from the very simple reason, that to consent to answer in the tive would be to establish implicitly that a refusal to an- ‘swer on another occasion would equivalent to a tacit avowal. Borides, if our conversation had not bsea of a strictly private’? character, you would not probably have thought of asking me such a question; and if you bad arked it, cd duty would have obliged me remind you that I could not admit a question to which I could answer neither yes nor no, and that for the reagons which have been above mentioned. I had not thouggt it necessary to pro- ceed in such a manner with you, taking the amicable and intimate character of our relations into coneideration; ae. how, have not spoken to you of a treaty, but greatly - ing that you should not deceive youreelf as to the naturo of the relations which bave been established between Rus- sia and oureelves, I attempted in our conversation to rec. tify come erroneo: leas in this respect. Thus, then, in order tbat there should be no misunderstanding between us, my dear Cowley, I must repeat to you, that it would not have been within my competence to accept a question touching the existence of secret treaties, and that in the confidential conversation which we had together I said nothipg which could imply the idea of a treaty. A. WALEWSEL FARL COWLRY TO EARL OF MALMESBURY. Pass, April 25, 1859. After the departure, yesterday, of my despatch of yes- terday, in which I enclosed to your lordship copies of letters which bad pasecd between Count Walewski and myself, with reference to a treaty supposed to exist between France and Russia, I received a further writ- 2 ten communication from hig Excellency. In the even- ing I eaw his Excellency, and he reverted to the fuject. The object of this letter, he gald, had been to establish that he had never told mo? tbat there was a treaty in exitteace. I admitted that fact, and explained bow ft had bap2ened that an erroneous ia: pressicn cn that point hed gone abroad, He then went on to say that be could arsure me tha’ in ali the commu- nicatiors ard projects which bad been exchanged bet teen the French end the Ruesian governments, nothing had sered which treated directly or indirectly ou Britieh in- teretts. They bad referene solely to the Italian question; and if the overturce wade by the French government, throvgh the Duke of Malvkeff,to come toa common un Gerstanding with ber Majrsiy’s government as to the ob. jects of the war, if war there was to be, were answered ss his Excelleney heped, everything that bad passed between the French ond Russian cabinets should be freely commu. nicated to ber Mojesiy’s goveroment. 1 asked Count Walcwski whether I might give her Majesty's government agsurance that there wag no uvderstanding between France end Russia on Eastern affairs. I ssked the ques- tion, I said, becaure the language of Russian ogonts abread gave her Mojesty’s government a right to svepect that Rueria would no longer defend the treaties of 1815, if sbe could secure thereby the abrogati of the treaty of 1866. Count Waleweki replied, a tone which carried conviction to my mirc, that he would give me his word that there wae not a syllable of truth in the report. All allusion to East ern eftuire bad been studiously avoided by France. His Excellency added that the existence of a treaty, offensive and defersive, with Russia, having appeared in the news papers, he entirely contradicted it. At firat it had been dccided that the contradiction should appear in the Moni- teur, dut it had been thought afterwards that such a pro ceedirg would give too much importance to the rumor, and the devial would be inserted in other papors.”” Paris, May 2, 1859, M. W’Ammateaperr—I have received the letter which you did me the honor of writing me to inform mo of the éatiefoction with which her Britannic Majesty’s govern. ment had received the spontancous assurances which it had p'essed the Exoperor to give you verbally on the sub- jects of the relations whicn have been lately established between Russia and France. His Majesty has deigned to avtborize me to repeat to your Excellency that nothing, ao the exiting arrangements between the government of ihe Emperor snd that of Russia, nor in the communica- hope exebanged on the subject, with reference to the af- faire of Ialy, is of s nature to ‘affect in the slightest de- gree the interests of Great Britain, and that the new re- port of a treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, ex- isting between Ruesia and France, is entizely without oundation FoR BPRS Fre 6 47 Maiden lane, N. ¥.
