pECONCILIATION" with America is to be JlL 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 . Ckampton , 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 to settle the question , in principle and detail , or to negotiate a basis of arbitration . Or , if Lord
Clabendon be willing , he and Mr . Makcy may meet , and adjust their differences by a conversation . Bat 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 Clarendon , who may have been misled , has for months been endeavouring to justify him , the punishment of Mr . Ckampton should not be resented as violence done to the British Empire .
Imagine human blood poured out like water , national interests destroyed , civilization repeating the barbai-ities 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 unconcludcd . 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 they glimmer , at intervals , from Spain , from Italy , from France , from Germany , and the Slavonian borders . Lord Claiucndon tells Count
Cavouk , explicitly , that the occupation of the Papal countries by French and Austrian armies ia a cause of discontent , and may be a cause of rebellion . What docs Count Cavour . say ? That Austria contemplates the conquest of Italy , that Sardinia will resist her , and that Sardinia , being unequal to the- conflict , claims the active alliance of the Western Powers . There is a hint that he has applied to Russia also ; but Bonaparlism is tho rulin g foreign influence- at Turin . What the Piedmontoso Government is really doing for Italy is tho creation of a political and moral power
hostile to Austria . It ought to be understood , however , that the lenitive rule of Victor Emmanuel would not be acceptable to one half of Italy in combination with a Napoleon 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 dragooners of Lombardy—protectors of the
Bourbon Duchess of Parma , of the Tuscan sensualist , and tlie 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 Cavour 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 is a conspicuous service to the Italian
national cause . It is true that rumours arc 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 arc 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
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 be < run to subside , and the inhabitants of the inundated districts , undeterred by the fate of Babel , have resolved , if possible , to rebuild their
houses higher than floods can reach them . Bat 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 Artblub Elton has ^ Yritten 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 tuxed to cheapen the bread of Paris , — -these arc 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 of the Commission for regulating the Danubian frontier . The Polish refugees in London , in reply to the offer of an amnesty by Alkxanj > kr the Skcond , declare that they are at war with Russia , and will never assent to conditions of peace " until restitution bo made . "
Turin will not , we believe , modify in the least tho position of Count Cavoub , which ia 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 Pokrio to sue for pardon ; but that noble gentleman , who has been chained at the galleys since 1851 , replied that his condemnation was unjust , and that he will never use the language of a repentant offender . Meanwhile , Cardinal Ri . uuo , who counselled the King to mercy , has fallen into
Bigotry has this week sustained a defeat by no means now to her , but from which she has always hitherto recovered by the grace of the Lords . Sir Fukwickick Thksigkk—the Attcrncy-Gcneral of Christianity , or rather of * that narrow sect which abuses tho name--moved in the House of Commons on Monday an amendment on tljfri ^ Uk . of Abjuration Bill , tho effect of which vrris 'it >

disgrace . The Porn also gets up a defence , and p leads not guilty to tho charge of misgovcrnment and cruelty . It is of littlo consequence to him how Antonkli . i misgoverns , while his scarlet flutters at tho side of the Bonaparte purple . Tho reilrobod Patiuz / . i is introduced at tho Tuileries in shining harmony with tho plush of Camhaciuucs ,

" The one Idea which . History exhibits as evermore developing itself into greater distinctness is the Idea of Humanity—the nob © endeavour to throw down all the barriers erected between men by prejudice and one-sided views ; and , by setting aside the distinctions of Religion , Country , and Colour , to treat the whole Human race as one brotherhood , having one great object—the free development r of our spiritual nature . "—Humboldt ' s Cosmos .
