In this note , Trance and England express their desire to come to an honourable understanding with tho King of Naples , They admit that under the present circumstances the King cannot grant a general amnesty , and , therefore , only request the King to grant a pardon to thoso political prisoners who may apply for it , and make their submission in proper form . But this they particularly insist on , and therefore give their note the form of an ultimatum , -which allows tho King of Naples a fortnight ' s time to consider , after ¦ which the Western Powers will resort to the measures they think advisable . " It isrumoured , " says the Dc ^ hats , " that Baron do Hubner is expected at Marseilles from Naples , on his way to Biarritz , to wait on tho Emperor .

There is nothing so revolutionary , because there is nothing so unnatural and convulsive , as the strain . to keen things fixed when , all the world is by the very lavr of its creation in eternal progress . —Db . Abnoxd .
V ¦ ¦ The Complications Oe Italy. The Be...
v ¦ ¦ THE COMPLICATIONS OE ITALY . The best informed persons believe in the reality of the demonstration promised against the King of Naples . That is to say , an allied squadron will be assembled at a point commanding the ^ Neapolitan and Sicilian coasts , and the French and British missions will withdraw . Officially , the explanation , of this proceeding is , that the "Western Powers cannot continue their friendly intercourse with the Government of King Ferdinand while that Government occupies a position of contumacy , and of impracticable infatuation . So far as to the suspending of diplomatic relations . Then , as to the naval movement . The missions having been withdrawn , French and British residents in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies will be without protection , and the presence of a few ships of -war will be essential to their security . For consequences that may follow , affecting : the King ' s Government , France and England will not hold themselves responsible . Such is the plea , as declared in London . In Paris
it contains a supplementary clause , disavowing all intention of promoting anarchical risings in Italy . "We may well believe that to be the' spirit of the Imperial policy , although ifc would be difficult to say what the French Emperor would not do to escape the result of a , year's leisure given to France to meditate upon her own condition . At all events , the motives of the "Western Powers are suspected by the Liberal party in every quarter of Europe . It is imputed to them that they mean , by an insincere
demonstration , to menace at once the King and tho Revolution , and it is anticipated that their first public declaration will be against tho organizers of conspiracy . That is possible , and it will not Bignify much . What we are interested to know , is the y iew taken by the two Governments acting in concert , of the contingencies that are likely to . arise . These contingencies are : —a revolt in Naples , of the people and some of the national military forces against tho King , the lazzaroni , and the
Swiss ; a revolt in Sicily , followed by a declaration of independence ; revolts ia the semiindependent Duchies ; a Xiombard insurrection ; and , in Piedmont , ono of two results : a crusade undertaken by the Governmentperhaps wo might wait long for that—or , a bursting forth of the Italian spirit in Genoa , and a challenge to every true Italian from the throne of Tm * in to tho cottago of Taranto , to take arms and make war against the Stranger .
If the British Government be not prepared for contingencies of tins extent , tho promised act of coercion at Naples will l ) o a practical
fallacy . Whatever the motive , the result can be nothing else than an internal disturbance of Southern Italy . Such a disturbance would not come under the operation , of ordinary diplomatic influences . Diplomacy may regulate and limit a war ; it has no control ovef a revolution . In a war , even the points of collision may be selected ; the acting forces may be numbered , drilled , and moved along
fixed lines ; bat one © revive the national crusade in Italy , and it becomes a conflict which must either be left for the Italians to decide , according to their own strength and their own "will , or produce a crisis in Europe , and engage every power in its settlement . In this case , we do not see how the question could be left altogether to the Italians . It is not an Italian interest alone that
would be effected by the issue of such , a war . A province of Italy forms a part of the Austrian Empire , and as long as Austria domineers over one section , of the peninsula , France will aspire to domineer over another . What , however , is the probable policy of Austria ?—of France ? As far as preparations signify plans , it is the intention , of the Austrian Grovernment to maintain , at all hazards , by force of arms , the integrity of its Lombard and "Venetian dominions .
Of France , less can be said , with any certainty . The Emperor's ideas do not seem to be understood by the Emperor ' s Government , nor are they , to all appearance , very definite just now . It is certain that Manin was prohibited from proceeding with bis subscription fox the guns of Alessandria ; it is certain , also , that the prohibition has been withdrawn . What , then , is the cordiality existing between Paris and Vienna ? Between Paris and Turin ? Between Louis
Napoleob- and Mtxbat ? Something must be done with the King of Naples , in the event of a popular insurrection ending ia his discomfiture . Perhaps he is only to be well shaken and let go ; perhaps the "Western Governments have undertaken to find him a successor . Possibly , also , their plans may undergo a change , and no French and British pennons , signals of liberty , will flash across the Golden Bay . But , supposing that the present design is to be carried out , that the King of Beggars and Bravosis unable to
resist the circumstances of his new position , and that he is declared incorrigible by the two Governments and the nation , forming ' the third party' to the transaction , ' there may be a Congress to decide upon the appropriation of Naples , there may be a European war to protest against the authority of Buch a Congress , and there may be a general revolution in Italy to lay down the principle , that neither a Congress nor a European war shall determine her destinies , which it belongs to the Italian people to work out for itself .
The worst-informed people have been very loquacious on the subject of the great political conspiracy that is now forming from end to eud of the peninsula . Something should be known of this movement , though , of course , something should be reserved . It is 310 betrayal to state , then , that while the nctivo Liberal party , represented by Mazzini and by Garibaldi—those leaders acting together to a degree not commonly appreciatedaro making extraordinary exertions to promote a national armament for the purpose of a -war against the Stranger , and his petty lieutenants in regal and vice-regal { jalaces , their subscription is not directly lostile to Sardinia . We know that the
subscription for tho guns of Alessandria has noi been discouraged by Mazzitti , except whore it has boon promoted in . an exclusive anc jealous spirit . The Liberals of Italy woulc be glad to count tho King of Saiiuini / among their allies : let him . make good hit
