*W Beconciliation" With America Is To Be...
* w BECONCILIATION" with America is to be Jtti had , if we will take it direct from the American Cabinet . Our Government cannot now entertain a doubt that its representative in America has justly forfeited his position . In dismissing Mr . Ceampton , the United States Government resents a series of
personal acts—acts of illegality , of subterfuge , and diplomatic deception . Perhaps the deception has gone farther than the Foreign Office has suspected . However the question has been simplified , and not another provocation need be given to America . That is , unless our government , worked upon by external influences , has a rabid propensity to war . Mr . Dallas is empowered tosettle the question , in principle and detail , or to
negotiate a basis of arbitration . Or , if Lord Clabbndon be willing , he and Mr . Marcy may meet , and adjust their differences by a conversation . But the problem is whether , after our Minister at Washington has been cashiered , and sent home with a double stigma on his name , and after Lord CtAHENJOON , who may have been misled , has for months been endeavouring to justify him , the punishment of Mr . Crampton should not be resented as violence done to the British Empire .
Imagine human blood poured out like water , national interests destroyed , civilization repeating the barbarities of the last century , and Cbampton at the bottom of it all . We must have a mad and wicked Government if the settlement remain long unconcluded . The settlement of Paris , meanwhile , does not seem to have been so perfect but that a new European war is possible . The Revolution has banked its fires , but 4 fcey glimmer , at intervals , from Spain , from Italy , from France , from Germany , and the Slavonian borders . Lord Clarendon tells Count
Clvotra , explicitly , that the occupation of the Papal countries by French and Austrian armies is a cause of discontent , and may be a cause of rebellion . What docs Count Cavour say P That Austria contemplates the conquest of Italy , that Sardinia will resist her , aud that Sardinia , being unequal to the conflict , claims the active alliance of the Western Powers . There is a hint that he hat applied to Russia also ; but Honapartism is the ruling foreign influence at Turin . What tho Picdmontese Government is really doing for Italy to tho creation of a political and moral powor
hostile to Austria . It ought to be understood ^ however , that the lenitive rule of Victor Emmanu-el would not be acceptable to one half of Italy in combination with a Napoueon Court established in possession of the other half . Suspicions of this character stand in Count Cavour ' s way , and in the way of Manin also , when he attempts to lead the Liberal party over to the House of Savoy . The best claim that House can put forward to the confidence of the Italians is the manifest alarm and hatred of Austria . The Imperial dra ^ oon ers of Lombardy—protectors of the
Bourbon Duchess of Parma , of the Tuscan sensualist , and the Modenese gold-hoarder—do not conceal the irritation and fear produced by the new attitude of Piedmont . Besides bringing their armies to the front , and menacing the line of the Ticino , they are getting up a defence , and accusing Count Cavotjr of revolutionary designs . They attribute to that statesman principles which he does not favour . When the general Italian movement takes place , he will not be at the head of it , though his promotion of constitutionalism in Sardinia ia a conspicuous service to the Italian
national cause . It is true that rumours are circulated in Italycirculated probably by Austrian agents—that England has addressed a note of remonstrance to Sardinia , blaming the violence of Count Cavour . These rumours have found their way westward . They are totally unfounded , though it is not impossible that such a proceeding has been suggested by the Austrian Ambassador at the Court of St . James .
The change of Ministry reported to bo imminent at Turin will not , wo believe , modify in the least the position of Count Cavour , which is equivalent to that of our Foreign Minister and Chancellor of the Exchequer united . From Naples we hear whispers of an amnesty ; the King is said to have invited Poerio to sue for pardon ; but that noble gentleman , who has been chained at the galleys since 1851 , replied that his condemnation was unjust , and tliat he will never use tho language of a repentant offender . Meanwhile , Cardinal Kiario , who counselled the King to mercy , has fallen into disgrace .
Tho Porn also gets up a defence , nnd pleads not guilty to tho charge of misgovornment and cruelty . It is of little consoquenco to him how i \ NTONKLt , t misgoverns , whilo his scarlet flutters at tho side of the Bonapartk purple . The redrobod Patjuzzi is introduced at tho Tuilorios in shining harmony with tho plush of Camuackrls ,
and on this day Napoleon the Fourth will receive a benediction and a name . Napoleon the Third has been dispensing state charities with a prodigal hand . The waters have begun to subside , and the inhabitants of the inundated districts , undeterred by the fate of Babel , have resolved , if possible , to rebuild their ------- f — — - *
^ houses higher than floods can reach them . But the disasters that have happened cannot fail to be felt severely during the rest of the year . To the public subscription in Paris is to be added a public subscription in Rome and in London . With reference to the last , Sir Arthur Elton has written a letter to the newspapers , complaining that the advertisements are so worded that he
cannot contribute to the fund without being supposed to compliment the Emperor Napoleon . Those thirteen departments , however , ravaged by an inundation , throw a black shadow on the coming autumn . A third year of scarcity , a commercial panic in the distance , the rousing of the community from its gambling dream , the irritation of the provinces at being taxed , to cheapen the bread of Paris , —these are threatening signs , in conjunction with the mutterings of an opposition in the Assembly .
From other quarters there is little intelligence this week . There has been a hurricane at Ratisbon , a rumour of a visit from Queen Victoria to the Court of Berlin , a new development of the Concordat in Austria , and a preliminary meeting < 4 Mihc Commission for regulating the Danubian fruitier . Tho Polish refugees in London , in reply to tho ofTer of an amnesty by Alexander the Second , declare that they are at war with Russia , and will never assent to conditions of peace " until restitution be made .

Bigotry has this week sustained a defeat by no means new to her , but from which she has always hitherto recovered by the grace of the Lords . Sir Fricdbiuck Thesiger—the Attorney-General of Christianity , or rather of that narrow sect which abuses the name—moved in the House of Commons on Monday an amendment on tho OatU of Abjuration Bill , tho effect of which wjw ^ to ^ introduce the words , " upon tho Ipxo fpfifytfy Christian , " and thus to save tliOr ' cJ ounl ^ j ^^ ii ^ i / f - \ Judaism , Atheism , and general ruui . / pWrfi $ M ° /; ; ' !> - * " : give up assorting , as on a former oCcaf ^ OTE th ^ ' ne ^ - ¦ -, , cessity for preserving a form of vtot &^' iwy ij ^ T ti ^ . ^ ; framed in an earlier day merely t <^ k ^^ ou ^ t ^ W V ;; | descendants of the Stuarts , all of i ^ oM ' qjrjO . npw ^> ( " ' oxtinct , Sir Fjusderiok yet clings to th ^ fr-part wf ^
