    The Announcement Made Through The Column...

    The announcement made through the columns of the Constitutionnel , of the policy which has been adopted by the Emperor Napoleon in regard to the affairs of Italy , is the most important event that has occurred since the armistice of Villafranca ; and if made in sincerity , which we can hardly doubt , augurs well for the peaceful progress of the Italian nation to liberty and prosperity . It is true that the French spyereign does not yet give lip all hope of reconciling the inhabitants of the Duchies , to their banished princes ; but he explicitly declares that Austrian

    intervention by arms in Italy has . ceased for ever , and that the Hapsburg-Lorraine Grand Dukes must look in vain to their cousin at Vienna for assistance . Napoleon would wish the inhabitants of the Duchies to rece ive back their former lordsj and he advises them to do so . ^ but . if they decline his mediation , he has promised not to interfere with the popular will . Count Linati has returned to Parma from Paris , to inform his delighted countrymen that he had received from the Emperor ' s own lips the assui-ance that his arms should never do violence to their wishes , nor would he allow the arms of others to interfere with the form of government which the suffrages of the nation , after due deliberation , shall decide upon .

    Meanwhile the unanimous vote of the 1 uscans , the Parmesans , the Modenese , and the people of the Legations has been given for annexation to the kingdom of Victor Emmanuel ; and it seems scarcely probable that , after the explicit statement of his powerful ally , the Sardinian monarch will hesitate to receive the diadem which is held out for his acceptance . The Provisional Government of Tuscany have issued a memorandum to the Governments of Europe , in which they declare their right to take the steps which they have done , and appeal to the powers for their moral Support ,

    pointing out the disastrous consequences that are likejy to ensue if the demands of their people are denied . With Garibaldi at the head of a welldisciplined and enthusiastic force , composed of the Tuscan regular army strengthened by volunteers from each of the Confederated States , the Italians of the Duchies may laugh to scorn the rumours of ftu invading force of mercenaries—with which they arc threatened— -to replace their petty despots . But if the prospects of this part of tho peninsula are brightening , tho futm * e of other provinces is gloomy indeed , and tho Emperor Napoleon can hardly lay claim to tho proud title of " liberator " of Italy while tho prostrate republic of St . Mark sighs .. in vain for that freedom which has boon guai'anteed to her sister state * An address has boon sent from Venice to the foreign ministers aud ambassadors now at Turin , signed with tho names of her worthiest citizens . if deplores the continuance of the iron rule of Austria , and expresses their bitter disappointment that the war J « , 3 t concluded shoiild not have brought liberty to thorn as well as to othorw . Austria , it is urged , ought not to continue to rule in Venice , and Europe and tho Emperor Napoleon are appealed to , that her independence may ho secured , In ' tho present state of European politics it is to L > o feared thia protest will avail little ; nor evou if

    the talked-of congress takes place , rs it probable that Austria will give up her hold upon the queen of the Adriatic without some more powei-ful arguments than at present seem likely to be brought to bear upon the question . In Bologna , too , reports are rife that the Holy Father is about to recall his erring children to their allegiance with fire and sword ; that the Papal troops are moving on Bologna , and that the Bolognese , under Mer . zocapo ' are preparing to oppose a vigorous resistance to the Swiss and Spanish . mercenaries in whom the representative of St . Peter is said to put his

    trust . Garibaldi is , we learn , moving his force without loss of time to the support of Mezzocupo , and there is little doubt that their combined army will give a good account of the invaders . Meanwhile , the Conference that was to settle all these matters drags its slow length along ; and while one well-informed continental journal informs us that an Europ ean congress must be bolden to arrange the affairs of the States of Italy , another equalfy reliable authority asserts that at Villafranca , Napoleon and Francis Joseph mutually agreed that neither should interfere to restore the Grand-Dukes to their lost inheritance .

    M . de Moray ' s lecture to the English people and the English press points , out to us the absurdity of our armaments , and the injustice to his imperial master of which we are guilty by our precautionary measures and by listening tp the warnings which are thundered into bur ears from the senate , and by the columns of our newspapers , lie assures us that no one is so well acquainted with the Emperor ' s political views as himself , and that he has no project for humbling England , or for breaking oil' the English alliance . IIe ° also dwells with much unction upon the freedom which the French press enjoys , and this has been immediately respo nded to by an article in most abldis

    the Presse , in which M . Peyrat has y - sected the address of the Emperor ' s confidant—has exposed its fustian—rebuked its sneers at such men as Lord Lyndhurst and Sir John Pakington ; and , indeed , has so fully answered all the assertions oi M . de Moray , and so completely exposed his misstatements , as to render any further comment on them by journalists on this side of tho Channel almost a work of supererogation . # Among other points of interest in our foreign news , wo may notice an account of fresh successes of the Russian forces in tho Caucasus . From the Sultan ' s dominions come tidings of an outbreak among tho Druses in Syria , which has caused much loss and toiu-or to tho European residents . The Commander of tho Faithful himself has boon very

    and drive from power an Administration which , he declared , was only maintained in office by the grossest bribery and c orruption ; he added that , were universal suffrage established , Conservavatives could not fail of being elected everywhere to Parliament . At Maidstone , Messrs . Lee and Buxton exulted with their liberal friends in having beaten the Tories both at the election and on the petitions which followed it ; accusing - the-latter of bribery and of subornation of perjury . The

    Liberals universally agree that t he Government cannot retain their support without bringing a measure of Reform , both comprehensive and satisfactory . Messrs . Long and Sptheron Estcourt , with Captain Gladstone , have enlarged on the necessity of encouraging the military spirit of the population , and keeping up the militia and yeomanry . - All parties agree that the laws to prevent bribery are inoperative ; and that is pretty well demonstrated by the recent disclosures with regard to the Berwick election . . '

    The Koyal Commission on the national defences has been published , and conta ins the names of representatives of every branch of the united services . Meantime the Times congratulates the country upon the progress we have made of late years in this respect ; though af ter all , its diets go more to show our late weakness than our present absolute strength . The volunteer " movement " is making steady progress ; and a modification of some of the rules of the various corps , with regard to fees and the expense of the uniforms and accoutrements , has had thtj desired efleet of bringiug to the standard a tolerable show of efficient young men , most of whom are diligently

    drilling as riflemen , or artillerymen . The strike among the building operatives still continues , but we hear rumours again this week of an arrangement between tho masters and workmen—we trust better grounded than the former ones . The . determination of the men to resist the signing of the document prepared )> y tho committee of masters is as strong as ever ; but it seoms not impossible that this may bo modified , u not waived altogether . Subscriptions to a Jargo amount have been contributed A-om other bodies of artisans in London and in the country , but tho total amount provMcn but a small dividend for each man out on strike A number ol the workmen who do not belong to tho nsHOoiulion , have formed themselves into an " nnti-stnko society , " have hold public meetings to

    Ucuionsick , and at tho point of death 5 but the mul oflnsj reign and his troubles has not comis yut . The unsatisfactory rolatipns between Kpain and Morocco appear to huvo at length produced an open rupture , and we hear of an expedition of 10 , 000 Spaniards being dinpatchod against Cuuta , to obtain satisfaction for real or imutfinary injuricH . At homo , Whig and Tory members of Parliament aro banqueting , spooch-making , and assisting at demonstrations . " Some Conservatives at Asliburton wore odiliotj by Messrs . Pnlk uiul Kekcwich , tho former of whom dilated upon tlic absurdity of supposing that thu present HtMu Government could bring' out nny witWiietory Jtoi ' orm imasuvo—and tho duty of the Coiinorvuiivi .

Tho awl linto . fcrimos this week is again u heavy one At ClieiMlow an unfortunate gontlonian , too soon reload from the surveillance of a lunatic asylum , has put an end to tho existence * of a E 0 « servant-maid in tho . iriond ' s liou * e where h " ww residing .
