      without in some shape communicating it to us It is , in fact , mere prudery to pretend ignorance any longer in tlie matter . Napoleon III . and Victor Emmanuer have always boasted of their candour and good faith m their dealings with us , and we ought not to complain that they have deserved these epithets by the frankness with which they have recently made known their views . It must also be recollected that during the summer questions the other way were more than once addressed " by Lord Malmesbury to M . Cavour as to the meaning of certain indications that were even then observableThe

      . answers , we believe , liowever genuine and true , were not always satisfactory . The Piedniontese Government , while disclaiming any immediate idea of war with Austria , refused to enter into any engagements with its ancient enemy and every day that has since elapsed the probability of a rupture has become more and more palpable . If France has bound herself , as it is morall y certain she has , to support Sardinia , we have no ri ght to complain ; but if , on the other hand , we decline to break off * relations with Austria , and to take part in the hostilities against her , France has no just cause to take umbrage thereat .

      Were Lords Clarendon and Pal merston in power to-morrow , we do not believe that they would venture to advise the Queen Or Parliament to embark in a war for the political reconstruction of Italy . They well know that the instincts of both the Court and the aristocracy would lead them to side with Austria rather than with France in such a struggle ; and they are not the men to set at naught when ia office the influences in question . But in opposition they may think it a fine stroke of political billiardnlhviiifr In nlfinfi tlir > ir nnrfv rfvnls in tlm dilemma

      above liinted at , and Louis Napoleon , for whom they have sacrificed so much , may not be disinclined to oblige them by confidentially asking the Derbyite Cabinet a few embarrassing questions . " . Will you engage with me to sustain Piedmont in all eventualities , aiid co-operate with me in punishing the incorrigible King of Naples ? " He receives for reply that public opinion in England docs not approve of intervention in the internal affairs of other states ,

      and that Queen Victoria has no quarrel with , the Emperor of Austria . ' f Well , tlicn , will you give me a guarantee that England will not , in any event , take side with Austria ? " Lord Derby cannot venture to give such a pledge , however sincerely he may deprecate all ideas that arc incompatible with it . Were the Foreign Secretary to submit a despatch embodying such a blind promise for the he would be told

      FRIENDLY RELATIONS WITH FRANCE . No feeling is deeper or more universal among the people of this country than that of amity towards France . As our nearest and ino 3 t powerful neighbours , friendly relations with them must always be more important to us than the good-will of any other European community ; and the mere fact that for the last forty-three years peace has been uninterruptedly maintained between us , abundantly proves that an equal sense of its value is entertained on both sides of the Channel . There is only one thing which can really enof this international friendsh

      danger the stability ip , and that is the attempt on the part of the Government of either to induce that or the other to forget its right of independent action and to adopt a policy which its own instincts would not have suggested . It is vrith states as with individuals—too compliant a familiarity begets contempt . The Cabinet of Lord Palmerston fell into this error , and it proved their ruin . It seemed , moreover , to endanger for a moment the maintenance of friendly relations between England and France , though the good sense displayed on both sides averted that culamity . Is it possible that the impressive lesson taught by the Conspiracy Bill is already forgotten ? Since the conferences held at Compiegno and the

      return of his English political friends to tins country , the Emperor of the French has caused certain interrogations to be put to Lord Malmesbury and his colleagues as to their intentions in tho event of war in Italy . These interrogations are said to point unmistakably to the formation of an offensive nnd defensive alliance between England , France , and Piedmont , against Austria nnd Naples ; and in the event of tho English Government refusingas refuso it assuredly will—tho alternative is said to be not obscurely hinted at of a Russo-Ifrench alliance . We do not ufTect to know more of whut is diplomatically going on than every one

      knows who possesses tho ordinary means of correct information , and wo should bo heartily glad to be assured that tho recent communications made through tho Duko of Malakoflf arc capable of another interpretation . But it is useless to try and shut our eyes aud ears to all that is saying and doing around us . Nobody doubts that a movement in Italy is contemplated in the spring , and nobody can wish to bclipvo that either tlio Fronoh or Sardinian Government would entertain such a project

      approval of her Majesty , probably that this would be to place the disposal of ltaly _ at the discretion of the expectant victor in thcconinig fight , and to surrender thereby the international dignity and independence of his country . But the thing is , in fact , impossible . To interpose without direct provocation in the domestic concerns o another slate is contrary to the traditions ami principles of our Government ; but to He our hands against all interposition , no matter what abuse may be made of success , or what selfish objects may be i . « rn i . rf « i < orturriifr . iw nflip . rs . would be to uegraut

      the name of England in the eyes ot the world . Our policy can only with propriety be one of prcs nt neutrality and future reserve . Our sy mpathiesm with the Italians , and with all who lend them oia , but it is farcical for thpsc who allowed llungary o be crushed by foreign arms , and excused them , selves on the pica that wo had no cause of \ ur with Austria , now to turn round and pw tend to think that wo ought to interpose by arms in tho Italian peninsula ,, tlio rau tions between us and Austria rciniiiiuns m o \ cnr respect tho same . We shall not be surpJJ * however , to hear the organs of the . Into Adinwsu * tion taunt Ministers by-and-l . y with an iiidecw"J fm-oifl-ii nnliev . Under nil the circumstances , a ?

      other than that which we have descri bed wouw u culpable in the highest degree . It is no » n . our duty , as a great and free people , to P l cither Austria or Franco in tho conflict mlh wuiu ^ Italy is threatened ; and if tho present ittier France sincerely desires to keep wuH vjw * will rocoguise tho moral necessities ot oui i » u . and notW us to abandon tliom . V * J como , after battles have boon lost and won , nna belligerents have mutually exhausted thci a _ ™ k when this country may wisely and bonoHouwjj ^ tcrposo to seouro for unhappy Ituly some w blossiugs tliat aro now domed her .
