To the Italian question, in the hands of the Emperor Napoleon, Ito might apply, as an interrogatory, the title of Lytton Eulwer's last book, g , What will lie do with it P' A reel in a bottle is not a greater puzzle to chil dren than the policy of Napoleon, upon this question, has been and is to the world. Why he undertook to break down Austrian occupa tion and influence in Italy ; why he stopped short at the moment when the game seemed entirely in his own hands; and what ho may yet do to fulfill his emphatic promise of making Italy tree from the Alps to the Appe nines, are matters still in doubt, still tinder discussion. We have a little volume before us, published this week,• which throws more light upon the subject than any other publication, American or foreign, which has fallen under oar notice, and shall use it freely in using it while discussing the points which are in dio rite. Upon American politics wo should scarcely be inclined to accept Mr. 'Grand's opinions as authoritative, because he bee shown no small degree of inconsistency about them. On European politics, on the other hand, we admit him to be extremely well informed. A foreigner himself, and master of various living tongues, ho has gad the Rather ad vantage of extensive travel, and more particu larly during the present year, while the Italian war was in progress. What he observed and learned, and the conclusions ho has arrived at, may be found In his book. Ito has written of the Present with reference to those incidents in the Past—that prophet of the Vuture— Which, even yet, out of the debris of broken thrones and crushed dynasties, are trumpet tOngued, if we would but listen to what they say. ffe fairly starts with a declaration of his gbod opinion of the present ruler of the French whom a certain, or rather an uncer tain, portion of the American public have been pleased to abuse—not precisely because ho has obtained sovereign power, but because lie did not try an impracticable manner of ob taining it. Ito says; If It shall appear in the following pages that the present monarch of France has really surpassed the expecta tions of his contemporaries—if it shall 100 found that he has givelFranco a controlling influence on the destinies of Europe—that ho has undertaken the regeneration, perhaps the political re-division of that continent and that, to accomplish this, ho has already conducted two great wars to a successful issue, the con clusion is Inevitable that ho has wielded power to some purpose ; and, we may, without justi fying the meant by which ho obtained It, but starting from it as an accomplished fact, do justice to his commanding talents, the won deriLl productiveness of his genius, and the perseverance and energy which mark his pre sent career. We must judge of the Emperor's motives from the French stand-point, not from our own; and of his plans as they affect France." Passing over many of the numerous issues brought under discussion by Mr. Grund, wp shall hero confine ourselves simply to Napo leon's policy and conduct on the Italian fiaeStion. First, then, why did ho take it up ? the closing year of the last century, rho fleet Napoleon, himself an Italian, (he was ac tually born in 1768, before Genoa ceded Corsica to France,) broke down foreign domination in Italy. What did rho Italians thereby gain ? Mr. Grund truly says: " They wero roused from Baehr state of torpor, and made to parti cipate In the great struggle for worldly power. They shared the activity, the success, the glory of their conqueror, who was himself In name and origin en Italian. The feudal tenures Were abolished. They obtained laws adapted to modern society, equal, and com paratively cheap administration of justice, public roads, security from robbers and bandits, and a well-appointed and disciplined army, alike available for offensive and defensive pur poses. From such an improved condition there was but ono stop toward national eleva tion and independence." Napoleon did not elevate Italy into an Inde pendent nation. The treaties of 1815 restored Austrian rulers to her central Duchies, restored Lombardy and also surrendered Venice, with its territory, to Austria. So, not without oc casional revolts, did Italy continuo until the outbreak of the war in 1859, at which time Austrian Italy had a population of 5,030,000, while the Sardinian Kingdom had 5,800,000 inhabitants. But the three Duchies—Parma, Modena, ond Tuscany, all under Austrian in fluence, possessed a population of 2,900,000 souls. The various revolts in Italy occurred In 1820, in 1830, and in 1818. In this last year, they became almost general—Charles Albert, King of Sardinia, alone being on the popular side. Ho was defeated, however, at the bat tle of Novara, In the spring of 1849, and im mediately niter abdicated, in favor of his son, Victor Emmanuel, the present King of Sar dinia, a prince of high spirit, who has ever since governed his people upon paternal and liberal principles. The policy upon which Austria has govern ed her Italian possessions has been incorrectly taken to be of modern date. Mr. Grid says: D. is an error to suppose that the misgo vernment of Italy, of Germany, and of Aus tria proper, Is merely the result of Mettornich's policy, and it is a roinantio delusion to imagine that that policy was hurled with the Austrian Chancellor. The Austrian policy is of Spa nish origin—it is a system Inherited from Charles V., which will endure as long as a llapsburger occupies a throne in Europe. Metternich was nothing but its able exponent during a long period of years, which identified him, in the eyes of his contemporaries, with the principles on which he acted. /Ds prede cessors and successors have pursued the same policy ; though none but Prince Kaunitz, un der Maria Theresa, has enjoyed a similar op portunity of arriving at signal distinction. Austria is the living embodiment of the reac tionary principle in politics, and all her states men must act in that sense. Progress, except in is material direction—which 13 perfectly compatible with moral decline—national ele vation, liberty are her natural enemies, which , she Is compelled to oppose, to preserve the territorial integrity of her Provinces." It is easy to see, therefore, that liberty and consti tutional government in Piedmont must have been excessively distasteful to Austria and to the Italian Duchies governed by princes of the House of 'Hapsburg. Victor Emmanuel applied himself, from his accession to the throne, to repair the injuries which his country had sustained In the (peas. trous campaign of 1848-49. Ho had scarcely a friend in the whole fraternity of European sovereigns. Ho bided his time, and found a supporter in Louis Napoleon, elected to the Imperial crown of Prance at tho close of 1852. Tho absurd policy of England, which, tub der Pitt and his successors, had spent twenty years of war in contending for the principle of Legitimacy—the restoration of tho hated Bourbon race—had been abandoned, in 1830, on the deposition and flight of Charles the Tenth. Called to the throne, Napoleon gladly sought that alliance with England Balled the entente cordiale, which, though weakened lately, has been his strongest stay, and which we, for ono, do not imagine ho will over attempt to put an and to. The point which first engaged France and Eng land in a strong alliance, was the necessity of checking the aggressive movement of Russia against Turkey, c , the sick man" of the late Czar. Mr. Crund says: "The entente tor diate between Orleanistic France and England was a mere diplomatic arrangement; but that between Imperial Franco and England was an * Thoughts and Reflections on the Present Position of Europo, and Its probable coneequenoes to the United Btatos, By Francis 3. Grand. One volume, Igmo..p, gta, Philadelplue, i OMlds .3c Peterson. historical event which promised action and corresponding changes in the future." Franco and England united, is what is now called the Crimean War, against Russia. Aus tria, also in this alliance, declined lighting, but occupied Moldavia and Wallachia, which Russia had invaded and abandoned. Napo leon, with a view to the tature, allowed Sar dinia to enter the lists against Russia, and in the Crimea the Piedmentese troops did gal lant service. Yet more, Sardinia, crushed by Austria only tour or five years before, was here an active member of the anti-Russian al liance, while Austria, for whom the Czar bad put down the Hungarian insurrection in 1849, was but a passive member. Sardinia thus won honor and status, while Austria was hated by Russia, as an ingrate, and distrusted by Ens land and France as almost a neutral. Why did Napoleon attack Russia I Our authority says that, whatever may have been hie personal motives, he advanced the cause of civilization by his war against Russia. "He had the tact to perceive that France, under whatever form of government, was not safe from invasion as long as the Holy Alliance of Russia, Austria, and Prussia remained in full force. The doctrine of intervention, which that association of Sovereigns had proclaimed, and on which it had acted for more than a generation, had at one time (under the restored Bourbons) received the assent of France; while England, though honorably dissenting from it, contented herself with a mere feeble protest against it. The Holy Alliance, there fore, had to be severed, and it was severed by the Crimean campaign." When Napoleon had gained what he wanted ho ended the war, and that In such a manner as to make an ally of RUB/Ski, between whom and Austria the seeds of future enmity were sowed. From that time, the relations of France with Russia became friendly, while those with Austria gtew cold. Public opinion looked, upon a war between France and Austria. Count Cavonr, the able political adviser of Victor Emmanuel, then "showed to the Emperor Napoleon that Aus tria was net merely a Sclavonlc-German, but also an Italian Power, and that she might as well be attacked in Lombardy, as on the coast of Dalmatia ; that in fighting Austria in Italy, the national aspirations of the Italians, their deadly hatred of Austria, public sentiment in England and in a portion of Germany at least, would he on the side of Napoleon, and that France, in paralyzing Austrian influence In Italy, would diminish that influence to a still greater extent in Europe, and in the eamo ra tio add to her own." Napoleon seriously considered these propositions, prepared for war, and snubbed Baron Hubner, the Austrian Ambassador at Paris, on last New Year's Day. No doubt Napoleon, known to the French army only as a civilian, was anxious to strengthen his dynasty by reviving, in his own person, the gimlets traditions of the first French Empire; to give employment to that army, which had been three years idle; to extend hie influence in Italy commercially, as well as politically; to humble Austria; and all this be could do without annexing ono square mile of Italian territory to his own do minions. This he did. No need hero of recapitulating Hag events of tho late Italian campaign—commenced and concluded in ten weeks—from the Austrian declaration of war to the agreement for peace at Villafranca, three weeks after the crowning victory at Solferino. Instead of quarrelling with France, it was Piedmont which was as sailed by Austria, whereupon Victor Emma nuel solicited that substantial aid from Napo leon, which deprived Austria of the better half of her Italian possessions. Here comes the groat point in dispute. Why, with the ball at his feet, after the defeat of the Austrians at Solferino, did Napoleon content himself with iniatching Lombardy alone from Austria? Mr. Grand fairly an swers this query. War between France and Germany was inevitable it the Italian cam paign continued. There was a vast confede rate German army, prepared with all the mu nitions of war. II Was this army," Mr. Grund suggests, to be idle on the Rhine, and ex haust the resources of the country, till Aus tria. was completely prostrate.—till she was driven from her strongholds in Lombardy and Venetia—till Verona and Mantua received French and Piedtnontese garrisons, till the army of Francis Joseph was retreating through the Tyrol to defend the Austrian capital? Were half a million of Germans to ground arms till the victorious French army, led by the Emperor Napoleon himself, recrossed the Alps, or were they to strike while the best French troops were yet engaged in the plains of Italy? Were they to wait for the destrue tion of the Austrian army, or save that army by an aggressive movement which would oblige thy French Emperor to divide his forces There was but one answer to these questions, and no ono anticipated it more shrewdly and correctly than Napoleon himself. He spoke the naked truth, from the fulness of his heart and mind, when he assured his army that Mower c threatened to assume proportions no longer commensurate with the interests of France.'" Thus, Napoleon 'made peace at Villafranca, to prevent the rulers of Austria and Prussia becoming friends on a common battle-field, in view of a common danger, from a common enemy," when alone they could have been reconciled. Even had Venice and the whole province of Venetia been taken by the French, could Napoleon have followed Francis Joseph into the Tyrol, knowing that the moment ho set foot on that German eon, half a million German soldiers would rise against him—or could ho hope to hold Venice and Venetia "so long as there was an Aus trian army in the Tyrol, and a Bavarian. one ready to co-operate with it, ready at any time, to descend, through the mountain passes, upon Brescia, Milan, and Verona? Was it not more prudent, then, and in the end more beneficial to Italy herself, that the German army on the Rhino should be disbanded (as it now is) than that further conquests should be attempted which, if successful, could not be maintained exempt by a general war, and if frustrated, might Involve all that had previously been gained?" Moreover, how far would Russia carry her good understanding, for there was no alliance with France on the event of an European war arising out of the War in Italy? What has Italy gained by the war France has not taken one acre for herself, but has annexed the richest and most fertile province of Italy to the Kingdom of Sardinia. The Lombards have obtained the equal and liberal political institutions which have raised Pled pont from a petty principality to a powerful Kingdom. Napoleon did not perform all ho hoped—but lie performed all he could. The safety of his Empire and of his Crown would have been imperilled bad he pursued the con test this year. Franco gained nothing—Pied mont won much. " For more than a thousand years," wo are told, " have the Italian States been the theatre of war, and the spoils of foreign conquerors. England, France, Spain, and Germany have divided lxsr w ae `qtir booty; the last war was the only ono which was waged for her benefit; the victor surrendering his apoils." Piedmont, invaded by Austria, was doll vered. Austria had to resign her paramount influence In Italian attains, and join the Italian Confederacy, merely as an Italian Prince ru ling Venetia. The separate Treaties of Aus tria with the Italian States, since 1915, aro all made waste paper. Austria gives up Lom bardy to Piedmont, and is isolated in her Italian policy, and will probably be as much so iu the Congress as she was after her defeat at Solferino. Besides, by the peace of Villafran ca the Prussian army and the German contin gents were disbanded, and, even to hold his' own in Austria, Francis Joseph must carry out great internal reforms. Lastly, it appears conceded that Central Italy will be allowed to work out Its own salvation, and if they aro un able to do so, wo must conclude that they aro, as yet, unfit for liberty. By the way, we aro reminded, in this book, that Napoleon's proposition. agreed to at Villafranca, of an Italian Confederation under the Presidency of the Popo, so MY from being TWO CENTS. a new idea, was actually. put forward, before the first French Revolution, by Cardinal Orsini, one of the councillors of Pope Pies VI. It really would substitute the Pope, at Rome, with a liberal Government, for the Emperor of Aus tria, at Vienna, with a despotic autocracy. On the effects of the late contest upon the various States of Europe, Mr. Grand goes into many details—but we have no space to discuss them. England, he thinks, is almost reduced, in a political sense, to a second-rate European power—but possessing the elements, if wisely used, of regaining much of what she seems to have lost, and of attaching new allies to her cause. Ho counsels her to seek the fastulship and sympathy or the United States. The concluding chapter, in which Mr. Grand discusses the manner in which the political changes in Europe may affect the United States, is a capital summing-up, but we must leave it untouched. No dotibt the volume will find numerous readers, as it is pregnant with facts and thoughts. BY TELEGRAPH. XXVII CONGRESS.-FIRST SESSION, U. B. CAPITOL, Weintxoros, Deo. 15,1850 SENATE.

Mr. TAILLLNDIOIIAM, of Ohio, remarked that the courtesy he extended to others at all times, he was resolved to exact for himself at every hazard ' • and therefore last evening be bad a right to expect the eourtesy of an adjournment. as he did not then !fish to address the house. He reputed what he bed said, that the man who endorsed Helper's book, containing insurrectiona ;sentiments, and intended to sow the seeds of discord, strife, and clod war, was not fit to be Speaker ora member of this House. The gentleman from 'Virginia (Mr. blillson) the other day went farther, and said such a men was not fit to live ; yet the Republieuis res• calved this remark as mute as ashes and gentle as lambs and they most regard this observation from him not as a menace but sober truth. He bad been served with a notice from the Repabllean side that they were determined not to listen to any further remarks from him. For this be did not care. He would tell them the country held its breath in suspense and listens to the slightest word which falls from the lips of gentleman hers pre- sent. This Union had been threatened. He cceirpied a position of nenttality. ,Ife was not a Northern man, end bad no sympathy, end very little good feeling, for the North..lle was bouni to it by no ties whatever, except by the strongest of all Hee— a common language and common country. Least of all was be a Northern man with Southern principles. life was a United States man, with United States principles. He was for giving the South all that belonged t 6 ft—the Attritive-slave law, the right to slavery in the ! t erritories, and whatever rights the Conatitution center/. Our fathers made the compact, and be would yield to It, not a grudging but a reedy obedience in all its parts. [Applause.] He was not a pro-slavery man or a non-pro slavery Wan, but bad a sereneindlifer ante on the subject. He thought be 000upled the constitutional ground of our father*. in whose days the people were animated by pateiotitm, and bed not, as some have now, an anti-Slavery God, an anti-Slavery Bible. and an anti-Slavery Consti tution. lie avowed himself a Western man by birth. sentiment, and education ; while, at the same time, he avowed himeelf a constitutional man He said Mr. Corwin bad been detailed to lead the for lore hope of the Republicans, and to be shot down at the Malakoff. Ile could never oonquer. The next census would chow that the Valley of the Mis sissippi bee a majority of the people of the etnrotry, who would administer a government for the bens tlt of all. People have lent themselves too long to the North to make cause against slavery and help to light for Northern masters, who, if sucoeuful with Seward or any other Republican, would di vide the spoils among themselvee. They would not listen to the voice of patriotism. Let them be go verned by self-reseed Let them lay aside their fanaticism and be West. ern tectionelials. lie despised them as moth for their eervility to the North, as they could despise servility in othrrs to the So uth. Ha came now to speak of a painful and difficult subject—that of dis union—a word which bad become as familiar WI the most ordinary word of salutation. There wee not a day but what they beard the croaking of the raven and the mournful and dirgeful wail. He would tell gentlemen that the doctrines of Seward, Hale, and the New York Tribune are those of a majority of the people of the North and a minority in the West. There was in one column of the Cincinnati Commercial more ehowmg the Re publican sentiment in Ohio than in a thousand speeches of Mr. Corwin—who, be said, with re. spent, does not only not represent the Republicans of that State, but was not a leader or a respectable follower. [ Laughter.] lie proceeded to argue that there was greet end imminent danger of a disruption of this Union. There are but few men North or South who desire it, while others are reckless whether it comes or not. He would not concede that the leaders of the Republican party are actuated by honest and conscientious motives in their opposition to slavery. In the earlier days of Abolitionism ft might have been so, but not now'. It was &war for political mastery, and was used now as the political algebra of the day to make out disunion, He de clared, in the course of his remarks, that be was nuttiest disunion, now and forever. Be held to one Union—one Constitution—one destiny--which could not be fulfilled except as a united peo ple , and by the immediate, total, and uneondittons surrender of the sectional and anti-slavery Republican party. [Applause.] Mr. PENNINGTON, of New Jersey, offered a rm. lotion, that till a choice was made for Speaker the Rouse will proceed to vote at one o'clock, and after three ballots, no further vote chill be taken. Ills object was. that gentlemen should not be sur prised by a vote in their absence, and they could retire afterward, satisfied that no _further vote would be taken. Mr. Cnewronn, of Georgie, who held the door, s‘id that friends around him_ objected to this motion. Mr. exturxs, of Virginia, said that. unless they adopt some such resolution, a vote might be Inning on thorn at any time, to the detriment of Demo crate, some of whom might be' absent. The ad vantage might be taken, and would be justifiable by parliamentary tattles Mr CRAwronn said be regarded Mr. Sherman ne the exponent of the Republioan and sectional party, and as such, be would bold him up to the country. The North look on slavery se a em. The South eoreider it in accordance with the Divine teaching. Bow can we compromise it? This question has been settled more than half a dozen times within the last forty years, and yet the anti slavery sentiments were never so strong as they are to-day. On the other hand, pro-slavery senti ments in the South were never more powerful than now. The whole Matter resolves itself into the question of slavery sea disunion, or no slavery and union.• Ms position. and that of his consti tuents, was taken. The position of the North was also taken, and there was no mistaking it. It has been said that the South has committed aggressions, and violated compromised. Ile denied that the 'South had violated the rights of the North, from the foundation of the Government notil now, either by tariffs, bounties upon gab, or navigation laws, or en slavery. . . He proceeded to reply to Mr ll!Oxman, who had said that the South had violated compromises. after having received the benefits of their aide of the bargain. This statement Mr. Crawford dis puted. For the first thirty years from the organi sation of the Government, there wan no aggres sion, even upon the part of the North, In regard to territorial organization ; there was no effort to ex tend the principles of the Wilmot proviso in the organisation of the States of Tennessee, Alabama, and other new States, and to exclude slavery. He called on Mr. Hickman to explain what he meant by the Missouri Compromise. Mr. HICKMAN, of rennsylvanla. I meant to say that, by the Comprcudse, slavery WAS ax eluded-from all Territories north of 38 deg. 30 min. It was not to go there from thenceforward forever. But that Compromise having been en tered into for the purpose of getting Missouri into the Union as a State, the benefits arising from it were deetroved by the subseguent legislation of 1850 end ISM •Mr. CRAWFORD. I bad expected as much from the gentleman, and know that he was wholly unin formed In reference to this question, and his people are wholly uninformed. In 1820, for the first time in history, the Government was, after thirty years, in uninterrupted enjoyment of Om property in the Territories. When Missouri same forward. asking to be permitted to form a Constitution and coma into the Union as a State, Ishat was proposed ? That the restriotion of slavery should be the condi tion of her admission. This was the first aggres sion, and it came from the North, and not the South. Then Congress refused to admit Missouri under the compromise, although slavery bad exist ed there for sixteen years, and it was not admitted until afterwards. Mr. CaAWFORD proceeded to give a history of events succeeding the adoption of the Missouri re striction, showing that the North had been the aggressor. Under the present oirenmstances his people believed the Union cannot be preserved. Ho was proud of tho Northern Democrats who had stood by the Constitution, but he would tall them they wore powerless against the great Republican party. He alluded to - Helper as a Southern traitor, and a poor miserable wretch who was driven from the place of his nativity to take refuge among the sacred observers of compacts in the North The South bad no fears regarding slavery. It was an institution that could not be disturbed by Inch a book as that of Helper's, even with Seward's re commendation. He said John Brown expected help from the North, but, while they had the will, they had net the Courage to assist hint. /de quoted TH ea WEEKLY PRESS, tto wurta Paw .ili to aaat to Ilabooftoto W mall (plor sansuit.
