The Miscreants Who, By The Murder Of The...
The miscreants who , by the murder of the wretched Anviti at Parma , have done their utmost to imperil the best interests of their country for the sake of gratifying a miserable private revenge , are , we trust , ere this , in the hands of justice . Farini , hurrying to his pogt from Turin , has appealed to the highest and noblest instincts of his countrymen to disavow this brutal and unreasoning crime , and has proclaimed to the world that justice shall be done upon murderers even though the life sacrificed was worthless . Thenchosen Sovereign , he tells them , is shocked at the disgrace brought upon the cause of freedom by foul assassination—he would only shed the blood of his foemen upon the battlefield . The dictator in addition to these " prave orts- ' V has made numerous arrests , and little as any one can pity the conspirator who has gone to his account , still for the sake of constitutional government in Italy , it is to be hoped that the delinquents will not escape their due . . The conferences " at Zurich still drag on their slow length , and we are now informed that the point difficult of arrangement is the proportion of the Lombard debt which is to be borne by Piedmont—the Austrian demands are exorbitant , and resisted by Victor Emmanuel , whose side in this matter is taken by France—the latter power proposing arbitration by a third State . An ugly rumour is in circulation with regard to these same conferences ; the French Government , it is said , demands that the arrears of the pensions of the Monte Napoleone , which was instituted in ^ year 1815 , for the purpose of supplying annuities to cei'tain dignitaries of the French Empire—^ and also the cost of the late Italian oampaign—shall be included in the settlement of the debt between Austria and Piedmont ; and it is added that , as security for the fulfilment of these demands , there is a possibility of the annexation of the ancient province of Savoy to the Empire of France—a report which , for the sake of the peace of Europe , is unfounded . Meanwhile Victor Emmannuel appears to increase daily in popularity throughout his new and old dominions , and is , indeed ,, prepared for any eventuality which he is likely to be called upon to meet . We learn that the resources of his newly-founded kingdom are so well developed already as to enable him if necessary to take the field at the head of 150 , 000 of the finest troops in Europe , with reserves which would enable him to resist any attempt on the part of an invader with good hope of success . Events seem to be hastening to a crisis ; and in a spirited order of the day we find the gallant Garibaldi speaking of the imminence of a collision with the enemies of his country , and expressing his reliance upon the brave men whom he commands tp meet any emergency that may arise . The intelligence from other parts of Europe this week is not without interest . Wo learn li-om Russia that though Sohamyl has fallen a victim to gold and treachery , the Caucasus ia still unsubdued , and another ohiof is spoken of who is only second in daring and skill to the prophet himself . From MorocoQthe latest intelligence contradicts the hopes entertained , a few days jkok of nn amicable settlement of the dispute with Spain ; there is , notwithstanding , some expectation that Lord John i
T HE speech of the Emperor Napoleon , at Bordeaux , in answer tp the fulsome and Jesuitical address of the Cardinal Archbishop , is deserving of the most , serious attention , since it seems to foreshadow the determination of the sagacious ruler of France to follow the dictates of enlightenment and common sense , and to refuse any longer to bolster up by real or imaginary support the desperate cause of priestly intolerance and , Papal misgovernment in the unfortunate States of the Church . It is true that to the clerical party and their influence Louis Napoleon owes his present position ; but having fulfilled all the promises which he -lade in order to conciliate the French clergy , in the matters of education and ecclesiastical government , he has done all that be was bound in honour to accomplish . He is now too firmly seated at the helm of government to be influenced by the blustering ^ of enraged monks or irate archbishops ; and it _ is probable that he clearly discerns the impossibility of restoring the Pope ' s lost authority over onehalf of the Legations , or of preserving it in the remainder of the Papal dominions , without committing himself to a course of procedure which would involve an odium and loss of popularity which he is far too sagacious to risk . In his speech , therefore , he alludes to the necessary reforms which must immediately be effected in the administration of the Roman States , and somewhat sardonically speaks of the new glory which the Church will acquire when the world is convinced that the Holy Father ' s power is not opposed to liberty and progress . He desires only to give good counsel , " dictated by sincere devotion to the interests of his Holiness , " but he cannot but bo anxious for the result of the evacuation of Rome by the French troops—an event which we are given to understand is to be no longer delayed than the end of the present year . What the result of that step will be it is not very difficult to foretell—if the French Emperor is sincere in his declaration that France will guarantee the Italians from foreign intervention in the settlement of their afl ' airs . If the French troops are to bo withdrawn from- the Roman States , we can hardly doubt that Napoleon will take care that the contingents of Austria and Spain follow their example ; and who the shall interfere with the sovereignty of Victor Emmanuel over the liberated pooplo of Italy ? The popular feeling is strongly manifested in the Eternal City itself , and we hear that the arch-priest has left his capital for Castel Gondolfo to confer , as it is said , with the young King of Naples as to the measures which shall bo taken to prop Tip the tottering chair of St . Peter . " In consequence of the popular agitation" the Hol y Father will remain absent awhile from the faithful ones at Rome ; and in case of airy aooidont wo find that ho has ready at Porto Anzio ( near to which plaoe he will sojourn ) a fast-sailing Englieh-buut ooi'vette , whioh is , no doubt , fully capable of bearing him away from two glory of martyrdom , or from the dosagrtimens of personal traint .
Russell will find some means of arranging th < quarrel satisfactorily to both parties . The insur . reetionary project at Constantinople has beer succeeded by the trial and condemnation of th < principal c onspirators , the Sultan mercifully refusing to allow capital punishment to be inflicted in any case . FcDin America , the latest intelligence confirms the opinion that General Harneys proceedings would meet with 'little favour with the generality of his countrymen . Inhonie affairs the most conspicuous feature oJ the week ' s history has been the meeting at Bradford of the Association for Promoting Social Science . Here philosophy , patriotism , . philanthropy , have united to consider the best means of ameliorating the condition of ourselves and our fellowmen . Lord Shaftesbury ' s elaborate opening address admitted that the results of the society were at present apparently small ; but he insisted , with justice , upon the large field that had been opened for extensive operations . The venerable Henry Brougham has delighted the nation with another of those orations , masterly in arrangement and diction , and pregnant with learning-and wisdom , in which from time to time he pours forth the treasures of his mighty intellect . His speech comprised a view of the state of the infant Association , and of the progress of modern science , all the discoveries of which received their meed of praise in eloquent and even poetic ] an < ma" -e ; but the most important part of his address * was devoted to the glory of the free constitution of these realms , and to a condemnation of the abuses which disfigure it . Of his remarks upon electoral corruption , it may well be said that seldom have more earnest denunciations of infamy , or more admirably dealt blows against hypocrisy and bribery been poured forth without exaggeration or bad taste ; and his remai'ks upon the " strikes among workmen , and unlawful combinations , show how far his mature wisdom is from encouraging popular cries or delusive doctrines . Of the contributors to the stores of knowled ge gathered by the Association for the benefit of nil , have been Sir W . Page Wood , on defects ot law ancl law reform ; Mr . Adderlcy , M . P ., who spoke well upon the education of the people ; mul Mr . Mouckton Milnes who discoursed of reformatories and tickets of leave , of the evils of drunkenness , and of the absurdity of promoting forced abstinence from spirituous liquors ; and also scusibly doubted if it were true that all the vice attributed to th at source did really spring from m-° PoUt icai spooch-innking has been rare this \ veok ? but at a Worcestershire agricultural dinner , Sir John Pajcington spoke manfully as to the duty of Enolishmen of all parties to strengthen the hands of ministers when it was a question of a disgrace to our national flag , as in the recent Chinese reverses . To this oflect spoke Mr . Mathoson , M . P ., at another provincial assembly , who al « o thinks that very little trouble will bring the Colestmls to their senses . Our now Indian financier , Mr . W llson , is also specially indignant upon this tarnwh upon the honour of Britain . Mr . -Cayley , at Cnttoriok , has mvon utterance to his fears of Louis Napoleons treason against old England ; and Sir Samuel Bianold , at Norwich , enlarged upon the blessings of Toryism , and the blessed prospect of an npprouoliing split in the Cabinet .
