Not A Very Likely Occasion For Viva Voce...
not a very likely occasion for viva voce political utterances , which possibly he thinks it advisable to defer for the present . The Constitutionnel is , nevertheless , instructed to make a most important declaration ,. . to the effect that France ( that is to say , the Emperor ) -will pursue a policy of non-interference-in'Italy . ' In a mournful tone he alludes to the valuable advice which lie gave the Italians to restore their banished Princes ; he regrets the rejection of that course , wluch would have ensured the future welfare of Central Italy ; and , having
. ^ The latest news from France seems to foreshadow some important events that it has not yet been thought advisable to make public . We learn that the Emperor iiouis Napoleon has decided upon not making the speech at Bordeaux which was expected from him—at least , he has declined ' the invitation to the banquet which that city had intended in his honour , and has signified his Imperial will that . a ball should be
substitutedin vain offered his counsel , he affirms that he has done his utmost—he will not attempt to dictate the course which the people of Italy shall pursue How much of this moderation is due to Louis Napoleon ' s integrity and love of justice , it is difficult to say—probably the exciting cause of this manifesto may be found in the determined' attitude of the Italian nation , and in the unexpectedly peaceful denouement of their bloodless revolutions , which afford no possible pretext tor intervention in the cause of order . Whatever projects may possibly have been conceived of tho establishment
of an Etrurian kingdom under Prince Jerome Napoleon , or of the more feasible restoration of the Austrian Grand-Dukes , they have doubtless been abandoned by the astute citizen of thfe world who rule ? France because he perceives that le jeu no vaut pas la chajidelle ; thus with the public opinion of ' Europe enlisted in favour of the people of Italy , and their moderation in the hour of trial , they have become masters of the situation , have defeated tho schemes of Impei'ial councillors , and have raised themselves to a position which will make thorn respected in Europe .
popular rejoicings at Florence , Mpdena , and Bologna . Victor Emmanuel ' s name heads every instrument ' .. of ¦ government , and the coinage of the confederated republics is stamped with his effigy as their Sovereign . As if to complete the perfect Unity of the nation in the choice of their ruler , we find that unquiet spirit , Giuseppe Mazzini , promising the adherence of himself and the democratic party which he represents to the prince whom his compatriots have elected to lead them to independence and greatness . But this fairseeming intelligence comes to us chequered with tidings of another kind—blocfd has for the first
allied expedition to China is now said to be fixed at 15 , 000 men , who are to be despatched from Marseilles to Egypt , and thence conveyed to their destination in English steamers . We learn , also , from Paris that old King Jerome , the youngest and luckiest of the great Napoleon ' s , brothers * is very ill ; and , indeed , in the course of nature his lease of life must be near its end-From the Central Italian States we receive intelligence of the further progress in the establishment of the constitutional kingdom of Italy under the sceptre of "Victor Emmanuel . The standard of the House of Savoy has been hoisted amid
time been shed in the progress of this revolution . One Colonel Anviti , a too daring emissary of the self-exiled Duchess of Parma , has ventured to return to that State in the vain hope of finding a sufficient number of traitors to their country to inaugurate a reactionary movement . He was detected by the infuriated populace , and his life has paid the penalty of his treason . The fickle , character of the Italian populace has , we are also told , shown itself in desertions from the army of tho Confederation into the Austrian dominions ; and there are not wanting prophets of evil who declare that the reactionary spirit is spreading in the Duchies , Garibaldi and Fanti are not idle , and at the head of a well-discip lined and enthusiastic force of 30 , 000 men , which will soon be doubled , they will not be . ' unwilling to meet the contest which is believed to be imminent , and which ,
there is scarcely room to doubt , will triumphantly establish the independence of Italy . The Pope , the prime difficulty and obstacle in the way of freedom , common sense , and good government in the Peninsula , has done his best to precipitate matters by dismissing tho Sardinian envoy , and giving hostile orders to the Swiss leader of the horde of ruffianly mercenaries which constitute the secular arm of the Vicar of Christ . The struggle will no doubt bo a sharp one , since the high priest of fanaticism and credulity enthroned in the Vatican will bo at once elevated , in the eyes of his votaries throughout Europe , to the rank of a persecuted saint $ his myrmidons , lay and spiritual , arc already busily at work upon the subject of hitf woes and injuries , with tongue und pen , in this country and in Franco .
Turning to our own affair * , tho most innnouiately interesting question is that of our dispute with tho United States , which difficulty " appears to be ia a fair way of settlement . General IXarney has , it appears , increased tho number of American * upon the inland , thrown up fortifications , and blustered " some ; " but has not sucoeoded iu hie sohoinu of bringing about a row , shedding a lialo blood , and gaining a vast amount of g lorification in the Union , which would help him on hi « way to tho President ' s chair . Sensible man in America
appear to be of much the same op inion as -sensible men in England—that the island is not worth disputing about ; only England must stand somewhat upon ' her dignity , to prevent future bullying on the part of Yankee adventurers , military or political , in matters of greater gravity . From . India has arrived , according to the Times , a piece of news of the . greatest importance , which , if confirmed , will go far to counterbalance late disagreeable intelligence from that empire and fronf China ; it is to the effect that the disbanded European troops , lately in the service of the East
India Company , have taken the bounty ottered them by the Queen's Government , and have reenlisted for the Chinese campaign . If this be true , Government will have the means of ' . imme - diately despatching to the flowery kingdom = uth an imposing force * bf European and native troops as must speedily bring the Celestials to ' their senses . The overland mail brings no further news as to Chinese matters ; and we can hardly expect any . incidents of importance until the instructions and reinforcement * reach our minister , ¦ ¦• unless , it be some further outrage on the part < .-f the
Chinese . The agricultural meetings of the past week have furnished a certain amount of talk for tin ; columns of the newspapers , but politics have been , by general consent , but slightly touched upon . Thus , at the Buckingham meeting , Mr , Disraeli confined himself to combating the assertions of those who sneer at such associations , and only diverged from this topic to eulogise the agricultural science ol the county Which he represents . At Wokingham , Mr . Walter made a curious , clever , and cynical speech ,, in which he wondered h' »\ v so much
money was spent in the ^ army and navy , while there was so very little to whow for it , confessing also that he could uoi tell where economy was to be applied ; he frankly acknowledged the mischief dyne by tlio inflamumtory speeches of members of l'urliumuur , and delicately touched upon the subject of ' humbugging constituents . " A jnopos of ihi . s latter point , Mr . Digb ' y Seymour has bets , " discoursing to his supporters of his " agony of care " as to whether he could obtain sufficient pledges from Lord 1 almerston to justify him in joining < ll ( 1 combination ag ainst Lord Derby ; hix conscience , we are huppy to find , was satisfied , and . so , wo trust , were-hid constituents . Tho Indian Finance MiihkIoi ; has at Liver

The romantic ideii 3 of tho liborty of the press has at length boon thoroughly extinguished iu Franco , and tho discussion on tho subjoct has boon summarily terminated ; notwithstanding , several stinging articles against Government have this wook made their appearance in Parisian and provincial journals . One of tho latter in particular , published at Anncoy , is noticed for tho frcquonoy wit h which a portion of its columns aro loft an hlanc , thanks to tho cansuro .
