It was nothing of the kind; but, altboogh the French drove back the ‘Austrian, they were so severely banaled that, flushed with victory, as they may fairly be supposed to have been, they have bot yet been able to attempt to cross the Micizo. It ig quite obvious that, outmancuvred and badly commanded | ag the Austrians may have been, they are, ceteris paribus, at least quite a matcb for the French. ‘Though their cenire was broken and both their wings turasd, yet it appears that the Austrians retreated in perfest order, apa they were not pursued.

To do the Parisian puolic justice, however, they fully understand that the Austrians were not routed or demoralized by their defeat. The Debuts pays atribute to truth, and states that the fact of thiety guns and six thousand prisoners having been capwrea by no means proves that they retired in disorder.

The generous intervention of the Emperor Napoleon in favor of an aily unjustly attacked, und of an oppressed nation, bas been, to & certain extent, misunderstood.

The expicit deciaratiops of the Emperor Napoicon IIt. at the moment of drawing tbe sword have, how- ever, alieady greatly calmed these apprehensions. The proclamation of Milan, so clear and becoming, must have dis- a all doubts which may have remained in poejudiced minds ‘se have the moet absolute confidence that the Euro- pean equilibrium will not be disturbed by the territorial extension of a great Power, and that there wil! be in Tvaly a kingdom strongly constituted, and such ss is naturally indicated by geographical configuration, the unity of race, Inngusge and manners, such a8 diplomacy wished to form i other times in the common interest of Italy end Earope, With the domine of Austria and of the States which have united their destinies tothose of Austria will disappear a permanent cause of troubles; order will bo guaranteed; tbe flame of revolutions be extinguished; aud Europe ‘can abandon “herself in full security to the great enterprizes of peace which ure the honor of the contury. Such is the point of view in which you must present the events that are taking place in Italy. The conflict which Austria bas excited must have for result her exclusion from a country’ which force aloue subjected to an odious and intolerable yoke.

(Cavers, ) SPEECH OF THF KARL OF MALMESBURY. Tbe Earl of Maumespvry said—I spouid not think of troubling your lordsbips this eveping if I ned not beom oblige! to wait for some time before I was able to answer certain charges mace by emioent members of the present government, and by the Prime Minister, with respect to tbat part of the policy of the late government for which I was more particularly responsibie. On the last night that we met in this House my noble friend the President of the Council, if he did not make charges, certainly made two or three insinuations of neglect, in which, I think, he tavst now confess that be was miviaken, Kena hear.) To the first place be insinuated what ber Mvjesty’s late government bad not taken such measures as were desir- able 10 prevent the collision which subsequently took place between Austria and France aud Sardinia, He asked, with the conviction, no donot, that auch was not ihe fact, whether, early in the month of February, or withia three weeks of Parhamemt mocting, the late goverament had cone anything to put a stop to the then unfor! pate etute of tings, Tne noble ear}, if he bas had time, 00 has taken the trouble 10 read tbe books waica I havo pluced on your lordsbipe’ table, muat coofess thay we did ail we possibly coald at the period to which he alluded to prevent whsi subsequently occurred. (Cneers,) Ae early #8 the 10th of January her Majeaty’s late govern- ment addressed botn the Courtsof Paris and Vienaa, en- treating them to ure their utmost efforts to come to some underecanding, they pemg the only two Powers which, by acting in concert, could stop the celaunties we fore: eAw eng prevent the war which was impending. I will not trouble your lorcships by reading apy extract, but Ido not believe that avy language could bo stronger, of any advice more candisly put forward than was addressed to those two Courts on that occasion. (Cheers.) My noble friend went ou to insinuate that Lord Cowley’s missioa was invested with great mystery and discrecit, and toat it had oo definite object.” You will find im tho biue-book toat before Lord Cowley left Paria be had a persoual interview with the Emperor, that the Emperor drew up a memorandum of pants which he wished tobe settled by Owe Court of Austria, that those points were ofterwards drawn up by Cunt Walewski, and that nothirg could be more particular and extwt*thanw jects with which Lord Cowley went to Vienna. (Cheers) ire that in that respect slaomy nobie friend witl ig anticipations baye not been justified, aad [am quite prepared to ackbowledge that, in alluaing to those io him obscure points of our foreign policy, he did not lay upon them any such stress as to say that ber Majesty’a late government ought, in consequence of them, to be ex- cluded from office. My nobie friend confined himself te the expression of @ hope that the supposition on which his Statowent was based was pot true, but thore are other members of the present Ministry who wore not content to pursue a similar course. The nobie ord at the head of the government himself did no scruple to use in another place language to which I sbail, with your lordships’ permission, briefly refer, He was, in the course of tbe epeech in which “that language qccurs, at- tempting to show that the late goverpment was not em- titled to the confidence of the country, and to adduca proofe that they ought to be immediately ejected from oflice a8 unworthy to give counsel to the sovereign. The ground on which he based his argument ag to their inca- pacity to discharge that duty was tbis:—He said, ‘the course which the government has taken bas brought on war. They are the caure of the present hostilitios;” and bow, in his opinion, had we produced this resuu? By the use of language hostile to France and Sardinis, aad by patronizing Austria, He said we held out hopes of supporting Austria against France, that we were igno- rapt that Austria was determined on*war, and that France was not prepared for it; and, that being the case, that the breakfpg out of war was attributaole to us, and that we were as a consequence uo longer fit to hold the als of office. Now, if this imputation be correct—it we wero in reality the cause of this dreadful war, no verdict could be more just thao that which the noble lord assked the Goure of Commons to prorounce. But let me for moment endéavor to stow your jordehips how reckless is the lan- guage which the present Prime Minister has deemed it not upfit to use, and how totaily he must have noglacted to look into apy source of information by means of which he could arrive at a knowledge of the real facte of the cage. ‘He went on to say, on the occasion to which J allude:— I cannot but believe that friendly, frm, but temperate Ian- gusge would bave induced austria to pause and to abstaia from that act cf aggression which, in the opiatoa of the noble Jord at the head of the government, removed her the po- aidon of ad ‘ecaciliator to that of criminal. It (a piain Austria was alleging that her treaty rights ta Lombardy and Venice were to be invaded. The government might then have fairly said, "Go into Congress. Lot all the great Powers of Rurope assemble, and we willstand by you ia negotistion in Daiotainior vour unnjaestiooa! but do you ana military interference and all ble treaty rights France conpont to withdraw ail improper atministrauive influence from couatries which are uot your own. Free the south of Italy from military occupa- tion’and from dlcistion to governments, and let the Itsliang and theic foveraments deal with exch other as Independent nations variably o."” That is the couree which the present Prime Minister thinks we ought to have adopted. That is.the language which he voinks we ought to have used, and what will your lordstipe sey when I tell you that {t is almost ner- Lasim the very language which we did employ’ (Sheers.) ‘Om the 10% of Jeovary last | wrote to Lord A.
