There is lying enongh, God knows, in Engiand on the subject; but in France, where,from the bigheet to the lowesta lie is a more diplomatic feat, to get at the truth with any amount of approximation would be out of the question.

Thug im the two oases there wag @ moral imporsibility of acting. ‘A new fact mast, however, be mentioned here. From what took pisce ten years ago, the beliof might have been cotertaized that avarchy would invade Central Italy, end that the dissolving epirit of revolution would oon Epreac cverywhere. These apprehonsions have not yet been realized, aud to whatever influence that eoren eoccording to different opinions, may be ascribea, w! fs certain is, that order has generally prevailed, motwith- standing the excitation of circumstances, and the irregu- lar authority of the governments. The unexpected spec- tacle presented by Italy, while impressing some persons, has icepired others with sympathy; and this latter sestiment has deem manifested over a of Eurepe with a force which cannot be disregarded. This creates @eiection which netther the Emperor's goverament nor Austria cen, on account of the consequences which would flew from a» erroneous appreciation of the dispositions of pubiic opinion, fail to into very serious considera- tiov. God forbid that we should mot be as convinced as any one of the of eugsgements. But dia ‘rance bind herself, at every price and by all possibic mears, to re-establiah om. their thrones tho dynasties ot Parma, of Modena, and of Tuscany’ Neither the ‘the stipulations of Villafrance mor those of Zurich bave assuredly such s bearing. France only promised her moral co-operation—a co-operation of which we must, alter six months efforts, admit the impuissance. Her Tegret—iet not the Cabinet of Vieuna doubt it—is sincere ead profound, and the ope government expresses it w:thout beeitation; government is obliged to reckon with insurmountable difficulties, which, evem the Austrian Cabinet itself, as it proved by a recent commu- mication of Prince Metternich, reuounces the hope of see- foived by the influence of a Congress. just we be indefinitely stopped by such an obstacle? Must we shut onr eyes to the dangers with whicn this state of uncertaiuty threatens all Europe? Must every- thing be left to chance, at the risk of seeing purely revo lutionary sen'iments neceseartiy take the p! of those which we do not ask Austria to approve, but which she cannot expect a government based om universal suffrage to condemn absolutely? In this pertlovs game, the mo- marobical igeas which have never oesaed to characterize tain portions of Italy. * Ido pot suppose that considerations have ever thei to the mind of the Emperor Francis pou Austria in Italy, the matter ta to constitute Italy herself as. ‘an intermediate party, as # kind of neutral ground, hence- forth inaccessible to the action, alternately predominating and alwass precarious, of one or othor of the toro Powors. Elsewhere than to such # solution—which, I do not hesi- tate to confess, ig met, if mot as regards its spirit, at least ag regarcs ita form, that which was anticipated at Villa- franca and Zurich—1 look for any other not coa- taining the clements of can ict between France and Austrie; thore will not remaio, in fact, a sim- je iaterest of importance in Europe on which they cam we any difflculty in coming ton understanding.
