It is thete two systems, between which the govern- ment of his Sardinian Majesty has to chooge, that I am now going to consider with you.

Taat this or- ganization should have such a character in the opinion of ail men, it is necessary that it should not contain the ele- ments of eventual ani bable disorder, either within its own self, or in its external relations. The government of the Emperor, for its part, is firmly convinced that one produce cithor effect, and that it manifest from the dsy upon would be unmistakeably ilar means of influence and of action. if Sardinia would present obstacles which she ought not to overlook. She would, in fact, find herself ayes aad espe- Cially lees mistreas of her resolutions; oho will bo dragged ; she will no longer direct, and the impuision which has made the strength and the inccess of Piedmont in there latter years will no longer emanate from Turin. i interest ft feels in a friendly and allied 5 let us, then, frankly say that the sentiment which broaght ized aod ‘Taking everything into consideration, M. le Baron, with that solution bost suited to ie circumstances of the moment and of coms who heard him was that the Price of Orango, In securiaz | order of things, aad of not taking present necessities into accovet, shall exert themselves to make the Pope under- stand that such an arrangement, frankly accepted, would ebield alf the caseniial rights of the Holy Seo. ‘What I bave said, M. Je Baron, of the necessity of anti- cipsting the dangers to which Sardinis might be exposed tfabe looked toturther aggrandizements, is more p - larly applicable to Tascany. ‘The idea of tho annexation of the Grand Duchy, that is to say, the absorption in ano- ther State of a land gifted with so beautiful aad so noble a history, and #0 attached, hitherto, to its traditions, cannot eeeuredly emanate except ‘an aspiration, the danger ‘of which it is impossible for the govern- meut of the Emperor to aizown, and which it is far from beliovimg that it is shared by the mess of the population, That aspiration, there must be no Gelusion, whatever may be at the present moment, I deubt pot the correct intentions of the Sardinian gavern- ‘ment, revesls on the part of those whom it carries along ‘with it an arriere-peneés Of & war against Austria for the conquest of Venotia, and an arr-cregensée, if not of revo. lution, at least of menace for the tranqmlity of the States of the Holy See and of the Kingdom of the Tw Sicities Isis imporeiblé to deceive public opinion in Italy or elaewhere, And the qaestions which it 1s our object to wettie would only. be reopened more embittered than ever. ‘The government of the Emperor, without overlooking the dffeuities which would remeia to be overcome to secure the triumph of the sclution to which if the Turis Cabinet would ascent, ft would devote ite most energetic and persevering efforts, entertains the confl- dence that thoes difficulties would pot be insurmounts ble. Certain, moreover, of operating upon & basis of @ pature to satiafy completely France and Sardinia, to pscity Itaty for a long period, and not to hort in too absolute a manner any of the jotercets which Ea rope bas tho right and duty morally to watch over, tho goverpwent of his Majeety would not only not hesitate to promiee to take fu.a Conference Or Congress the dofease of soch an arrang@ment, but it would procia’m it as un wt- tackable, in ita opinion, by foreign interventioa, Ia this hypotheeie, then, Sardinia would be sare of having wih her and bebind her. You are authorized to decit this formally to Count Cavour. Do I need now, M. le Baron, long details toexpiain what would be ovr attitade if the Tarin Cabinet, free im its Option, should prefer to run all the risks which I have pointed out while advising it to avoid them? The bypo- ‘thesis in which the government of bis Sardinian Majesty would have to rely only on {ts own forces developes itself, soto gay, naturally, aud is would be painful forme to dwell upon it. I therefore confine myself to say, by the Em. peror’s orders, that we will pot consent at any price to take upon ourselves the responsibility of such Italy, and especially for Sardinia, which has mingled fits “Dlood with ours, his Majesty would not besi- tate to evince his firm and aecided resolve to take the in- tereets of France as his sole guidance. As I have ob- served to Count de Persigny, to dissipate dangerous illu sions is not an abusive restriction of the ure which Sar- dipia and Italy may wish to make of the liberty which we are proud of having aseisted them in obtaiaing, and which {s floally coufirmed by the declarations which the government of the Emperor has recently obtained from ‘the Court of Vienna; it is simply, Irepoat it, making good the independencs of our policy, and placing it in aafety of complications which we shall not have to reedive ebould our counsels have been powerless in preventing them. J shall not conclnde this despatch, M. la Baron, without faying a few words to you rsepecting Savoy md tho county of Nice. The government of the Emperor has re- gretted the premature and out of-piace discussion of this question ip the publi: journals; but it cannot refrain from taking it a3 the expression of an opinion which daily pains in strength and weight. Historical traditions, which it is needless to recall, have accredited the idea that the firmation of a more powerful State at the foot of the Alps would be unfavorable to our interests, and al- though in toe arragement developed in this despach, the annexation of all the States of Central Italy to Sardinia should not be complete, it is certain that in the point of view of external rejations it Would be equivalent, in reality, to an analogous reguit. The eame provisions, however distinct sa ny of hae Md = Bae and the possession of Savoy gg county of Nice, excepting the Indore of Switzerland, which we pina dssire to’ take s'0 account. also rsenec ni 65Cha npabrs aa ical necessity for ‘safe our fromiors. bg deen therefore call the attention of Count Cavour to this point; but you will state to him atthe samo time that it is not our wish to constrain the expression of the popular wil, and that the government of tho Em ’ morever, would not fail, when the moment shoul? ap’ pear to him to have arrived, to consult first the great Powers of Eu » 80 a8 to prevent » false interpretation of the reanons that would direct his conduct. ‘You will please road this despatch to Count Cavour, and leave him a copy. THOUVENEL. M. THOUVENEL TO COUNT PERSIGNY, AMBASSADOR OP FRANCE AT LONDON. Panis, Feb. 24,1860. Monsieur Ie Comte-—I have already had the honor of. transmitting to you the two despatches which M. Le Comte de Reebbery has addresssd to Prince Metternich, and which contain the repiy of the Cabinet of Vienna to the | explanations which the Emperor had commanded me to | Bccompany the propocitioss which cmanated from the go- | verument of ber Hiritannic Majesty. I have abstained | trom réturping with the Ambassador of Austria to jadg- ments, the sincerity of which { in no wise contest, but | Which are too far removed from cur mauner of viewing Yue matter to render it useful to sttempt to rectify them. have preferred to pay homage at once to the senti- 12 of moderation which have snimated Count Rech- ¢ when, wishing even to reproduce the very terms T had employed, he has declared that ‘af he ed ihe divergence of opinion of our two 88 to the practical value of the combi- mation eugerstcd by Lord John Rassell, he clung nevertheless, to the hope of which I hed made myself the interpreter when J laid tt down that if the difference pM eho gece could, and in some casos ought to, lead to different Judgmente, It was not necessary that the result should be, when the honor of cithor side was safe, disas- trous conflicts, and theso 80 far removed from the inten- tions both of France and Austria”? Although it was con- pled with the aseuranoe that Austria would do justice to the motives which command the two Powers to abstain from an armes intervention in Central Italy, that deola- ration which J admit shuts out all adhesion on the part of the Cabinet of Vienna to the use which we may make of the latitace whieh it concedes to us; but it arises from thie—and I bave pointed this out to Princo Metternich, who has made no sort of objection to the justness of my reasonipg—that the government of the Kmperor has now the power to examine the fourth of the propositions of her Rritennic Majesty's principal Sosretary of Stato for Foreign Affairs; it can especially, with a degree of liberty which it did Lot posces before the exchange of these ex- Planatione, diecugs the mode of olution which that Pro- position implies. This solution agrees with the princi sles which form the basis of our institutions; and, as] had the honor to write to you on the S0th of last month, we shonid not be in & position to dispute their efficaciousness if they were ap. phed to other countries. We acknowledge, ou the other band, that the wish of tue population has manifested iteelf in Malian affaire with groat authority, and it is their wish which we oureelves have taken iato consideration when wo honcstly nade known to Austria the difficuities insurmountable in our eyes, which the liberal execution of the stipulations of Villafranca and Zurich would “Anat, then, im this at jh » then, in late of things, is the aim, o: rather, what would be the result of the proposition of te Cabinet of London? To call forth a fresh expression of this with with tho aseent of France and Eog'aod, in suob ® manner that this manifestation would reesive from tho previous adhesion of these two Powers a force in some sort legalized and regular, The government of the Emperor has deliberately examined tho situation which would be made for it in this eventuality, and it has remained convinced that it could not succeed’ in settio free its moral responsibility, unless the principal of ‘Vereal suilrage, which constitutes its own legitimacy, be- came also the foundation of the new order of ‘things in Ttaly. On quite another field the Participation of France ‘would be a manifest inconseqnonce to which ite govern: ment could not expose itself.

To our eyes one certain method sione can bave the right to substiture a new principle of ability and order for another principle hallowed by time and the respect of peoples; but, if we have the right and the duty to claim for ourselves the free exercise of our doctrines, we do not recognise it as our right to impose them on others; and we hold it, on tha contrary, to be no lees imperative a duty to leave them the liberty as well ag Fa of their own opinions and their own ac- I will add, M. le Comta, that the harmony which Our lively desire to maiztain between otrectves and the [Behm of ber Britannic Majesty could not neverthe- Prevent us from establishing the fact that our reapeo- tive Dositions are not exactly the same.

Here, ataa unexpected moment, is a great move made whish opens the whole game, and which, if it does not discover all tue combina tions which depend upon it, is of itaclf euMlolently start- ling to make us settle ourselves in our chairs and cou- eentrate our attention upon the board.

From this gentle snubbing we tura with what appetite we may to fhe despatch of the game date which i¢ addressed to M. le Baron de Talleyrand, the Minister of France at Torin. This ig @ much more lengthy and explanatory document. M. Thouvene! begins by iniorming Europe, in the persen of M. de Taliyrand, the time is now come when it is proper to make known to Sardinia what {s the exact idea of the Emperor's government upon the present grave end even solemn conjuncture of affairs. Sardinia may do as she } Roglamd may also do as she leaner. France desires to compel no one to follow ber. But this is the way France istends to walk. Sar- dipia is warned, however, that if abe departs from the footsteps of France ebe will fall upon very treacherous | a. The Emperor of the French telis the King of ferainia that the popular feeling to ltaly is not to be trust- ed by him—that it docs not mean loyalty to Sardinia, but doe ity to tia. Fi aaptraiions spoleon ILI. ,Aiavolve the conquest States of the Church and the the Two Sicilivs. They involve also two probabilities equally to be avcided—war If Sardinia should go alone onwaris she must be prepared for the consequences into which these popular desires must force ber; she must uadertake a work cut of proportion with her ordinary means, and she must become the agent of s policy which wi! no longer receive ite impulse from Turin. ig vbat must hay ea to Sardinia if she does not accept what immediately joliows. The Emperor bas pondered upon all these mat- ‘enetia, and menace g' ters, and from his cogitations he has evolved the following | jan :—The firat proposition is that Sardiota shail have | bardy, Parma, aud Modena, with full power to weld them into one compact sovereignty, ani to take no note of any former political divisions. Tbe second pro- position is, that the King of Sardi hal! be the temporal. adminietrator of the Legatlons of the Romagna, Ferrara, and Bologna, exercising his functions in the name of the Pope, and respecting those manicipal insti. tutions which are traditionary in the Legations. The third proposition ie, ‘shall retain her political and torritorial individuality. & Such is the French programme for the ultimate settle- pty eg i ready to accept 1) or “4 os "her and back her w —* La Sar- France will stand by datgne serait ir de nous avoir avec elle, ef derriére elle” — a ae left alone to rely upon her own army.

The Ttalians had better make haste fiz it, or no one cantell to what it may dwindle. As it now stands it has not a great appearance of durability abont it. Tuscany may choose to make a free use of her sovercign independence by annexing herself to Sardinia, and man require the in- tervention of a foreign army to compel her to continus her independent isolation. It is not impossible that the Pope may excommunicate the Royal Vicar who is to be intrud- ed upon him,s0 soon as ters W his functions. ‘The position tothe Pope by programme is certainly somewhat humibating, and it will be edifying to Christendom to see how the Pope and bis Vicar will con- duct themaclves towards each other. ‘The end is not quite equal to the preface; but, after all, the Italians have had a great deal done for thom, and if they cannot now, after a little time for consolidation, do the rest for themselves. pay deserve but amall sympathy. M. Thouvenel does not finish bis programme without say- ing hia Little wora about Savoy and Nico, We have spoken of this subject in another article; but so has M. Thouvenol spoken of itin other deepatches. It evidently has just now entire possession of the mind of the Em- peror, and it crops up every where ia the French Foreiga Office. Here it no longer assumes the form of a demand for the French slopes of the Alps. M. Thouyenel tells Count Cavour plainly that “the postssion of Savoy and the Comlé of Nice (iaving the interesls of Switzer- Tand) presents itself as a geographical woessity for the Securily of the Brexch fromers.” What the saving clause in favor of Switzeriacd means, we can only vague- ly guese; but we may eufely infer that the promise not to coerce the will of the people means nothing at all; eud,as to the promige to coneult the great Powers, M. Taouvencl coea vot pretend that this is to have ony other purport ‘than to explain the Emperor's ‘‘ conduct.” Wa suppose, therefore, that we must pow take all this as un fait accom. pli, and restrict ovr mcegery St the inqutries—Who ia to be the new Grand Duke of Tuscany?

These concitions, we hear, were 200,060,000 of reais (£2,000,000 sterling), with the guaranteo of the pro- ceeds of the Customs of a maritime town; the possession aud pei dominion of the whole of the conquered country, Tetuan included; liberty for the Spaniaras to practice their religious rites and ceremonies in the covpiry, and to have ambassadors at the Imperial Court of Morocco. I must say, though a Spaniard, that moderate men and men of sepse hers deem these conditions exorbitant . It 4a to be observed that thosa who affirm that peace should: not be be made without the conquest of Vangier are the two extreme political par- tiee—-Carlists and the will democrats, These are the men who ehout the loudest for the continua- tion of the war, for their hopes depend much on tbe oo currence of some great calamity. In quict times they bave hardly a chance of seizing r; their best and only opportunity is in the storm The Progreaistas, who support O'Dopne}l, are anxious for peace; the Vicalva- rigts desire oniy what Donnell desires; the coaserva- tives wish for peace, and ail who are engaged in com- merce and in egriculture, the taxpayers and the func- | oraries, join in the same prayer. ‘O'Donnell could not imagine that on such terrible con- ditions the Moors would accept peace. But O'Donnell, whoee position is difficult, as his ree ibility is great, is Interested in not pee, cannot have forgot- ten the words be uttered in tho Senate and the Chamver of Deputies in October last He seid that ‘‘Spain did not desire conquests on the African soil; that she did notseek for political and territorial compensation; and that what she wanted was only to avenge the affront offered to the Spanish flag by the undisciplined tribes of Anghera.” Attbe gsme time the Spanish gcvernment gave the English Minister a written assurance that we were not going to make any conquoets, and teat, whatever might ‘be the result of the war, the O'Donnell Cabinet promissd to abandon, when peace was signed, the places occupied during the war. Now, 1 donot mean to charge the O’Donnell Cabinet I believe that in October Iast year they did ie with perfidy. pothhink of conquests, and that what the Parlia- ment said, it xaid in good faith, and that what was pro. mitted to Mr. Buchanan was really meant to be carried out. Botcircvmstances have changed since then; the situation of O'Donnell is no longer the same; it ie very Critical, and it i¢ that situation which may force him and the Cabinet to fail in their own sclemn declarations, ia the declarations of Parliament and the obligations contracted with Engiand. . I will just say a few words on the state of affairs. It is notoriovs that O'Donnell undertook the war for personal reagons and t» please the Queen, who trom religious reasons ‘was most en'busiastic for it, and her Majesty was led to Delieve that ehe was predestiaed to carry out successfully the famous testament attributed to the first Isabella. For bis part, O’Donneli, though earing very little for the first Teabelia or her supposed testament, caloulated that a suc- ceesful campaign in Africa would consolidate his power a8 Minister in Spain, which, from various reasons, was rather shaky. In place of making himself thoroughly ac quainted with the vulnerable points of the empire, in maritime towns—in place of assembling the army the squadron on the coasts of Andalusia, and falling uexpect- ediy with 8 division on one point, or of bomt Moga- pay or some other maritime town, badly revered from the uncertainty of the movements of the ish army, he suddenly called to mind that ber was the Queen’s Ssint’s day, and ordered Echague to proceed with the to the coast, take = re poracesi of the undefended and announce by telegraph the Queen, on ber holy festival, those old walls wei occupied. On the 26th of November the Moors fell on the Spanish unexpectedly, and O'Donnell, on hearing of the fact, crossed the strait with the whole of the army ex- cept the third corps. all the army was Ha tl the 19th. of Novem- BE the of February, the camp of Maley Abbas, and on the 6th entered Tetuan, having spent in these operations 500 mil- Hons of reals (£6,000 000 sterling) and lost near 15,000 men. From fault to fault, {rom ecror to error, O'Donaell Binds himeelf at Tetuan in the rious necessity of sa- Usfying the opinion of official excited by the Cabinet and its , HOt to speak of the national dosire sacrifices which she has been forced to The Moors have asked on what conditions Spain Would make peace. O'Donnell, forgetful of his promises to Engiand and bis own solemn words in Parligment, lemanded the of the conquered ter- ritory, and certain PR litical and commercial compensations which Eps have an yet no exact knowledge of.

If he made peace without conquest, O'Donnell would fail from power, gcouted by all Spain, and this explains why he preferred continuing the war, and trusting to future success for tho solution of bis prerent difMculties. As @ Spaniard, lament that my country ia involved in awar—sanguinary, sterile, and without any advantage to her, and only for purposes which are not of public ipterest, ‘What happened some days before the capture of Tetuan must have weighed much in favor of continuing the war. The Queen whose chief anxiety is for the diffi- cuities of the pontifical Daeg wep sent for a cortain ox- Minister, and moed him of her desire to dismiss hor present government, and asked whetber he would form a new one who would act with energy in the Roman question. The said ex Miviater, who, though he is a reactioaist, is uperior talents ad of honorable spirit, answered ‘that it would be as unfair as dangerous to overthrow a Ministry whose President was in Africa at the head of 80,000.0r 40,000 soldiers; that no Ministry could now in- ‘tervene in Rome, inasmuch as Eagland and France were now agreed on the principle of non-intervention; and that the geographical position of and its limited re- fources would notaliow Spain to break with these two Powers. in the meantime came the news of the taking of Tetouan, anc Cardinal Antonelli was soon forgotten for the victory in Africa. An intimate friend of O’Donnell’s, who haa taken good care of his interests here, from whom he ‘has no secret, and in whom he has the most unbounded ‘reliance, set out for Tetuan, and it is currently believed that the exaggerat:d conditions demanded by him from ‘the Moore, and which will render more than probable the Continuance of the war, are attributable not merely to that pergon’s influence, but to: the daager which go lately and €0 serious'y menaced him as Minister.
