They are, however the work of peace, and constitute its fundamenta conditions. The treaties of 1815, which have been made to operate against France, have opened our frontiers on all sides, so as to render an invasion easier to the Alliance, Austria already, by the acqi Venice stronger in Italy than before, 1759, haa be sides become the sovereign of the Peniosula through private treaties. If Piedmont had been reduced to obedience, like the other Italian States, Austria would bave bordered our frontiers of the Alps with her dominion and her soldiers. Such a danger was so manifest that a national government could not allow it to pass without tak- ing notice of it. ‘the problem to be solved was, however, alarming in its proportions. An inde- endent nation was to be organized between the Bottian Alps and the Tyrol; that is to say, Austria was to be ossessed and Italian nationality was to be founded. This problem has been solved by a campaign of two months, three fights and two battles. Italy is free, free to the Adriatic, for if the Emperor of Aus: tria preserves Venice and its territory, he only keeps it as an Italian prince, submitted to the de- liberations of the Italian Dict. i ‘Thus the Austrian frontier, which was at the Ti- cino, is removed to the passes of the Tyrol, and France has full security on the side of the Alps, where she has placed between her and Austria a poretts Confederation which owes its existence to her The importance to be given to Piedmont was evidently to have in view both the convenience of the Italian Confederation and that of France. The Emperor had justly said: “Italy is to change her condition and not her master.” She could only be independent on the condition of being federa- tive; and if Piedmont was to become an important, even the most important member of the Confede- ration, that Power was not to become the absolute ruler. ‘The addition of Lombardy to Piedmont makes the Sardinian States the richest and the most de lous of Italy. The States of Naples have only six millions of (shabitantss with the addition of Lom- bardy, Piedmont will have more than seven mil- lions. As to the richness of Lombardy, it is far be- yond that of any other country. ‘The question of the Duchies remain to be regu- lated. ‘It is not said that Piedmont will not have a good share of them. The advice of those popula- tions will certainly be taken, and the sovereigns of those small States have pearly, not governed them so well 12 they could not be dispensed with. ‘Thus, when Italy became independent and a con- stituted kingdom’ of our fron:'er of the Alps, the interest of France became satisfied and her pro- ‘amme was falfilled. Certainly, if Austria fd resisted the Italian} Confederation it would have become necessary to chase her armies from Venetia and to take Venice; but Italian indepen- dence once granted, the conquest or fhe State Me Venice was no more an object, and was nov ,*°"" the blood of one of our soldiers. With his exalted wisdom and his admirable good sense, the ey pga therefore, stopped as soon as the object of the war was attained. The question of the Papacy was by far the delicate and difficult. It was peceasare _ -, Most ama hen ¢ ip Ao f the Papacy more +n Charlem*ue himself. hed one. “ pat pee 49 fact, Charlemagne “id no more than give eM Popes the greatest portion of their actual stetes. It was noW nécess.°¥ to invest them, un- der the federal guararitee of Italy, with a political and military power sufficient to maintain their com- plete independence. The problem has just been solved in a miracu lous manner; and never has a prince, without ex ception, done for the consolidation of Catholicism the fourth part of what Napoleon IIT. has done. Until now the Pope was an isolated sovereign defending himself. Now he forms part of a federa- tion of sovereign States, from which it is impossi- ble to separate him, and he is protected by the fe- deral force. Placed as a soveroign at the head of that “fede ration, the Pope not only acquires a soagrope power—he associates yet to the maintenance of his olitical power all the Italian nationality, of which if becomes the soul and the honor. . it can be perceived and said: an ideal solution of the questions implicated in the war of Italy could not have had more, precison, more efficacy or more measure. Arms haye done more than imagi- tion could have dreamed of.

We sec no great virtue in what is doing; aod any strong sympathy ia out of the question;~but, as @ matter of fact, the American government is setting to work, with obvious and intelligible sincerity of pur- pore, to gtop the élave trade; and, as the protraction or extinction ‘of the Blsve trade depends on the American government, under the circumstances of the present time, the tact is of bigh importance, whatever emotions may or may not belong to it. We need scarcely repeat that the power rests with the government at Washington, because avowed slavery exists only in the United States and Cuba; and Cuba alone could not keep up the trade if Spain were called {0 account and her ong ~ Acetate all the other ties to the treaties against the slave trade. a 38 Of importance, vot only that it ehould be under- stood in this country that the American government bas ‘altered t18 course in regard to its duties on the coarts of Africa and of the Gulf, but that the reasons of the change should be apprehended with some distinctness, as they must involve further chaoges of great fotereest to the countries of Europe. ‘Aod egain, &% if necel that the allies of the ecbipgton government shoud understand the facts of the cage, because the aspcot of affairs ia Amorica is very ppitigading.

Tee siaveholding interest of the United States has been, since the abolition of the slave trace in 1808, a monopoly, to which the bo'ders buve clurg with more and m energy as their fortunes declined, as {x the way with mo- nopobsts geuerally.

Whence thie change? Why, the poor whites of the slave Statos have learned, partly by accident and partly by research, that they can obtain labor more cheaply than their wristocratic neighbors had allowed them to sup- pote.

Joun Roserut eaid that his lecessor, Lord Malmesbury, had, in two communications, declined inter- fering on the question of territorial right, and be thoaght hip lordship had pareued a proper course in making the refusal. But there was another question, which referred tothe blockade. That blockade was irregular, and the eubject should receive due aviention from government. GEksTENDERG reminded his lordship that the memo- initiates med territory which was not dispated, but which wat neverthslees affected by the blockade. Lord Malmesbury had given an anewer to the effect that if British subjecia took land on certain terms, it at their own risk; on a eecond representation being made to his ete, his reply was that he eaw no sufficient ground to erfere. Lord Jony Rvsseit. said he concurred in beth replies. In order to defend possession, we should be obliged ia the first place to refer to Peru, and that goverameat might dispute the whole of the territory as well ag the two east- ern aseigvments. In that case we should be involved im a dispute with Peru. Mr. GERsTENDERG said that the general interests of South American bondtolders, two of the committee of whom ‘Were present, were involved in the quettion. An advan- tageous contract had been made by British tradere—a contract which was indirectly beneficial to the Britist na- tion. Englighmen haa been tempted to go out and cuiti- vate lands under the belief that the Britisn flag would pro- tect them. 4 piratical attempt bad been made on our posgeesions, and redress could not be obtained through the British government. He alluded to the case of a ves- eel, the Maria e Julia, which had ontored the port of Puna with the mate sick. She was ordered to put to sea immediately. The captain represented the impossibility of obeying this order, as he would not bs abe to navigate his sbip, which was short handed. Tho vcesol was there- upon geized by the Peruvisn auuhor ities, The govern- ment of Great Britain being invoked, took some steps, which led to nothing. The British representative was written to, but whatever his insiructions were they did no} lead him to eseiat in releasing the ehip, It was uiti- mately, by the interference of the Spanish goveroment, that sho was liberated. Tac memorialists had, Mr. Gers- tenberg said, received invariable politences, the kindest wordg, the most agresable promises from the government of Great Britain, but to no effect whatever. Tae British nation was commercially interested in the matter. The collect‘on and cultivation of the cinchona piant, which produces quinine, was one of the objects of the colonists, The was threatened with extinction, and its value had increased year by year. The East India government a’one bad patd lest year £36,000 for this plant. He hoped ig loréship would consider the prayer of tho memorial- ists, and wou'd covsent to protact the expedition against the llega! conduct of Peru. Lord J.
