fallacy . "WThateyer the motire , the result ; can be nothing else than an internal disturbance of Southern Italy . Such a disturbance would not come under the operation of ordinary diplomatic influences . ^ Diplomacy may regulate and limit a war ; it has no control over a revolution . In a war , even the points' of collision may be selected ; the aeting forced may be numbered , drilled , and moved along fixed lines ; but once revive the national crusade in . Italy , and it becomes a conflict which must either be left for the Italians to decide , according to their own strength and their own will , or produce a crisis in
Europe , and engage every power in its settlement , la this case , "we do not see how the question epuld be left altogether to the Italians . It is not an Italian interest alone that would be effected by the issue of such a war . Aprovince of Italy forms a part of the Austrian Empire ^ and as long as Austria domineers over one section of the peninsula , France will aspire to domineer over another . What , however , is the probable policy of Austria ?¦ —of Fiance ? As far as preparations signify plans , it is tlie intention of the Austrian Government to maintain , at all hazards , by force of arms , the integrity of its Iiombard and "Venetian dominions .
Of France , less can be said , with any certainty . The Emperor ' s ideas do not seem to be understood by the Emperor ' s Government , nor are they , to all appearance , very definite just now . It is certain tbat MAirar was prohibited from proceeding with his subscription for the guns of Alessandria ; it is certain , also , that the prohibition has been withdrawn . Wliat , then , is the cordiality existing between Paris and Vienna ? Between Paris and Turin ? Between XiOttis
Napoleon ; and Mueat ? Something must be done with the King of Naples , in the event of a popular insurrection ending in his diseomfituTe . Perhaps he is only to be well shaken and lefe go ; perliaps the " Western Governments have undertaken to find him a successor . Possibly , also , their plans may undergo a change , and no French and British pennons , signals of liberty , will flash across the Golden Bay . But , supposing that the present design is to he carried out , that the King of Beggars and Bx * avos is unable to
resist tlie circumstances of his new position , and that he is declared incorrigible by the two Governments and the nation , forming 'the third party' to the transaction , there may be a Congress to decide upon the appropriation of Naples , there . may be a European war to protest against the- authority of such . a Congress , and there may be a general revolution iu Italy to lay down the principle , that neither a Congress nor a European war shall determine her destinies , which it belongs to the Italian people to work out for itself . The worst-informed people have been very loquacious on the subject of the great political
conspiracy that is now forming from end to end of tho peninsula . Something should be known of this movement , though , of course , something should be reserved . It is no betrayal to state , then , that while the activo Liberal party , represented by Mazzini and by Garibaldi : ;—those loaders acting together to a degreo not commonly appreciated- — aro making oxtraordiuary exertions to promote a national armament for the purpose of a war agninst tho Stranger , and his petty lieutenants in regal and vico-regal palaces , their subscription is not directly hostile to Sardinia . Av © know that tho
sub-THE COMPLICATIONS OF ITALY . The best informed persons believe in the reality of the demonstration promised against the King of Naples . That is to say , an allied squadron will be assembled at a point commanding the " Neapolitan and Sicilian coasts , and the French and British missions will withdraw . Officially , the explanation of
this proceeding is ,, tliat the Western Powers cannot continue their friendly intercourse with the Government of King Ferdinand while that Government occupies a position of contumacy , and of impracticable infatuation . So far as to the suspending of diplomatic relations . Then , as to the naval movement . The missions having been withdrawn , French and British residents in the ILinerdoni of the
Two Sicilies will be without protection , and the presence of a few ships of war will be essential to their security . For consequences that may follow , affecting tlie King ' s Government , France and England will not hold themselves responsible . Such is the plea , as declared in London . In Paris it contains a supplementary clause , disavowing all intention of promoting anarchical risings in Italy . " We may well believe that to be the spirit of the Imperial policy , although it would be difficult to say what the
French Emperor would not do to escape the result of a year ' s leisure given to France to meditate upon her own condition . At all events , the motives of the " Western Powers aro suspected by the Liberal party in every quarter of Europe . It is imputed to them that they mean , by an insincere demonstration , to menace at once the King and the Revolution , and it is anticipated that their first public declaration , will be against tho organizers of conspiracy . That is possible , and it will not signify much . "What we are interested to know , is the view taken by the two Governments acting in concert , of the
contingencies that are likely to arise . These contingencies are : —a revolb in Naples , of tlie people and some of the national military forces against the King , thelazzaroni , and the Swiss ; a revolt in Sicily , followed by a declaration of independence ; revolts in the semiindependent J ) ucl ) ies ; a Lombard insurrection ; and , in Piedmont , one of two results : a crusade undertaken by the Governmentperhaps wo might wait long for that—or , a bursting forth of the Italian spirit in Genoa , and a challenge to every true Italian from the throne of Turin to tho cottago of Taranto , to take arms , and make war against the Stranger .
II the British Government be not prepared for contingencies of this extent , tho promised act of coercion at Naples will bo a practical
scription for tho guns of Alessandria has not been discouraged by Mazzini , except where it has been promoted in an exclusive and jealous spirit . Tho Liberals of Italy would bo glad to count tho King of Sabdinia among their allies : let him make good bis

Leader Opfice , Saturdaj * , September 27 . -NAPLES—THE ULTIMATUM . The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort gives some details respecting the second note sent by the " Western Powers to the King of Naples . In this note , France and England express their desire to come to an honourable understanding with the King of Naples . They admit that under the present circumstances the King cannot gTant a general amnesty , and , therefore , only request the King to grant a . pardon to those political prisoners who may fl PPly for it , and make their submission in proper form . But this they particularly insist on , and therefore give their note the form , of an ultimatum , -which allows the King of Naples a fortnight ' s time to consider , after ¦ which the " Western Powers will resort to the measures they think advisable . " It is rumoured , " says the Ddhats , " that Baron de IIubner is expected at Marseilles from Naples , on his ¦ way to Biarritz , to- wait on tlie Emperor . " This has reference to the Neapolitan question . From Vienna it is reported that Prince Petrulla , the Neapolitan Envoy in Vienna , has tendered his resignation . It is not stated whether political or personal reasons have led to this step . Sardinia , says tho Daily 2 fews , will take part in the expedition to Naples , for tho protection of Sardinian , residents and their property .
