THE FORCE OF LOGIC.

Lord John Russell, the Liberal Foreign Secretary of
England, is not the. only pei‘son_Who lays_ down clear
premises, but repudiates the plaiirconclusion. __ He will
shortly be met in the London Pa_rliamen_t tPP°V‘d“d the
English ministry do not throw.him over in the mean-
time) with a challenge to admit the application of his
principles to Ireland and to Ionia—to Ireland by means
of the National Petition and its consequences—to the
Ionian Islands by the appeal of M. Dandolo. But, in the
meantime. Prussia is going to be subjected to another
logical difficulty, very much of the same kind, and that
in the following manner :—

The Grand Duchy of Posen, formerly a part of Poland,
but allotted to Prussia by the partition of that country.
and confirmed to her by the treaties of Vienna, is still
and for ever Polish, in race, language, and sentiment.
It is also a Catholic country by a majority of about four
to one ; but Prussia is a Protestant monarchy. _Needless
to observe that the people of Posen are disaffected
against Prussia, are obliged to submit to_ grievous in-
justice in the matter of German training in the public
schools, use of German language in the courts, and inso-
Ieuce of German officials in all departments of govern-
ment.‘ For manypyears, these Posen people have been
demanding back some instalments of their ancient na-
tional rights, and some recognition of their national
feelings. In short, they are Poles, and desire to remain
Poles : and the universal movement towards Nationality
which stirs all the Slavic races has not failed also to
reach the Duchy of Posen. Now, just at this same
moment, the King of Prussia, backed by the whole
German Confederation, is seized with a most passionate
sympathy in favor’ of the Duchies _of Schleswig. Holstein,
and Laueiiburg—-a part of the kingdom of Denmark-
demauds of King Christian of Denmark that the Ger-
mans in those duchies shall be restored to certain politi-
cal rights; and threatens to hurl the whole federal army
of Germany upon poor little Denmark, to enforce the
demand. The Prussian Chambers, like the British
Houses, are on the point of assembling; and I learn
that certain deputies from Posen are to move in the
Lower House an amendment t0 the 3357953. and t0
demand that the people of Posen shall enjoy, under
King William the First, those very same ri hts'which
the aforesaid William so patriotically requires at the
hands of Denmark in favor of the German population of
Of course, the Prussian government will
not listen to those deputies, or their demand. any more
than a. London parliament will attend to The 0‘Donoghue
and his National Petition. King William will merely
signify to the people of Posen that, if they thirik they
are strong enough to enforce those national rights of
theirs, they may come and take them; and, in the mean-
time, he will “hang and shoot” them if they talk too
loud. Such is now fully cstablished,amongst the “Great
Powers.” as the definition and true meaning of all right—-

“ That they should take who have the power,
And those should keep who can!"

This affair of Posen is inter-esting to us, not only as a.
parallel case with our own, but also, and far more, as a
new proof and illustration of that wondrous uprising of
the Nationalities for assertion of their existence against
Treaties of Vienna and Holy Alliances. Seems as if a
whole crop of nations long buried, it was hoped, for ever,
were awaiting the spring of this year to spring again from
the earth, to bud and blossom, “ bravely to bourgeon and
broadly to grow,” that the rights of manhood may have
shelter and shade beneath their branches. Their case
and their cause are ours, precisely ; our rights and claims
are even as theirs; and they;-=like ourselves, anxiously
1ook.forward to an Eiiropeau war as to theirsole chance.

reach 03 wan.

Everybody “has confidence in a continuance of the
blessings of peace_;” but every pcwer in Europe, without
exception, is making great exertions to be_ ready for war
by the first of March exactly. Some English newspapers
have said that the British army is to be reduced; but
this is not true, and has been promptly denied by the
chief authority on military affairs. War seems imminent
in all directicnsms well as in Italy. In truth,_Italy is
not now, by any means, the most dangerous. point: for
the Sardinian government has distinctly intimated that
it will not only not attack Austria in Venetia, but will
not suffer Garibaldi to do so. The ex-dictator is said to
be willing to give up his battle-programme for the spring
in compliance with Victor Emanuel s policy; so that the
red’ shirts will probabl not appear next March either at
Venice or at Rome. lu other words, Captera will not
declare‘ war against Austria, Sardinia, and France, all at
once. These pacific dispositions of Capi-er-a would be re-
assuring for the peace of the world, but for certain other
threatening appearances.

The °‘.unification’? of Italy, as I have several times.
’ =au1‘mised, is meeting, and likely still to meet. very seri-

ous difiiculties. The French fleet. iddeedihas Weighed

the land side. King Francis has absolutely and defini-

tively refused all conditions of surrender ; and the Turin ,

telegraph-workers, as also the Opinione, organ of Cavour,
anticipate speedy reduction of the fortress. There go
twp words to that story, however. Within the last few
days Gaeta has been provided with prov.isio_ns and amu-
nition for a long siege ; has offered to send 9.1578? 9-07 of
his troops who wished to leave him; and; Out .°f m.0l'e
tlian»:"eight thousand men, only one hundred and fifty,
flu _ threp officers, have accepted his 0ffe1‘- 011. the
probabilities of this desperate siege. Le Mom‘tou_r do
l’Armee, a. very high authority, has some observations,
from which I givean extract :-
“The attack from the sea is practicable only by the
roadstead, and by the left-hand entrance. That attack
may not, perhaps, have so serious results as are generally
believed. At that side the sea is very tempestuous until
the middle of spring. The prevailing winds there, are
the winds coming from the open sea, and while they are
'-blowingno operation is possible. Then the line extend-
ing‘ from the citadel to_ the post, is commanded ‘by
formidable works, which in a conflict of artillery must
have greatly the advantage over ships, whose fluctuating
movement necessarily injures precision in firing. The
fire of forts produces, on the other hand. most destruc-
tive effects upon woodeii ships. The action of the Pied-
montese squadron, through less than is expected with a
view to attack, on account of the aforesaid considera-
tions will probably be decisive by completely investing
the place. It will intercept communications from with-
out’ and force the t‘ortre’s,s, by famine, to capitulate at a
period more or less remote. _ .
Precisely so: and the _in_onth of March is coming on—a
date at which the Sardinian forges. as many persons be‘
lieve, will be called to other duties. Even already, the

army of Cialdini is much weakened by the necessity of

detaching large bodies of troops to crush the reaction all
over Naples. It is true the sanguine telegraph-workers
of Turin have latelyhnnounced, that ‘ the reaction in

.1

the Abruzzi is suppressed.” It is not true. On the con-
trary, the Neapolitans have gained one considerable
victory; and the Sardinian officers declare they cannot
now march against them without being reinforced. Not
only in the Abruzzi, but also in Terra de Lavora, Molisa,
Capitavata, and farther, Calabria, the said reaction is
carrying all before it ; and ten populous towns have
thrown off Piedmontese authority. If Gaeta shall hold
out, therefore, for three months, and if war should take
place elsewhere, Trequiring King Victor Emaiiuel’s ut-
most exertions elsewhere, King Francis the Second may
yet recover his kingdom. And, if the people like to
have him for king, why not?
own people who drove him from his capital, but Gari-
baldi, with bands of Hungarians and Piedniontese ; it is
not his own people who are now besieging him in Gaeta.
Every body knows, by this time, that, but for the Sar-
dinian arm , he could very soon have quelled the emeuie
raised by aribaldi. Well, whatever be the result in
Southern Italy, I suppose we Irish will “accept” that
result--as, indeed, the English also will: but, seeing
that the English urgently desire to have King Francis
swept into the see. without delay, and to see ad united
Italy. whether Italy will or not, I presume that most
good Irishnien will wish for the exact opposite. At
least, that’s my own principle. I care little about Italy,
or her destinies, save in so far as events there may serve
or hurt our mortal enemy.

Touching that King of Italy, and his possible but
probleinatical kingdom, I observe that the Paris Jloniteur
of yesterday, in its bulletin, uses these calculated express-
sions—-that the Kingdom of Naples is still much disturb-
ed; and that the Piedmontese Government is using great
exertions to traiiquilize it. When the Emperor’-a official
journal speaks thus, it is clear that he does not believe-
that there is yet any Kingdom of Italy (notwithstanding
the pretended universal suffrage)~nor that the King of
Sardinia is King of Naples. The French policy of an
Italian Confederation is probably the one which is des-
tined to be realized: and already there are malignant
rumors, invented mostly by English and Germans, to the
effect that Louis Napoleon destines the Kingdom of Na-
ples for a “French prince,’-’ namely Murat ; or ‘else that
he intends at the last critical moment to give his hearty
support to Victor Emanuel, but at the price of the island
of Sardinia-—-but rumors, as I believe, wholly devoid of
foundation. He will, probably, in good f 'th “ accept"
—like the rest of us—-that solution which e population
of Italy themselves will work out; always reserving the
city of Rome, which is an exceptional case.

But, even Italy is not the most dangerous ground, in

this estimate of probabilities in favor of peace and war.
Denmark concentrates 40,000 men on the Eiden, and de-
fies all Germany; while the King of Prussia. seems bent
upon fighting somebody, and is prompt to accept the com-
mission of the German States to thrash the Danes. In
Paris. there is a very general suspicion that the new
King of Prussia is really desirous to try the fortune of
arms (or, at least, the principles of his pamphlet) against
France. For he is the author of an essay “ on the Art of
beating the French army," an art which, he believes, he
has brought to avery high degree of perfection in theory,
Lest his pamphlet should be forg en. too, which is often
the fate of admirable essays, he h published a new edi-
tion of it. If there be no fighting on the Eiden next
spring, both Dunes and Germans-will be disappointed.

The Hungarian question, upon which so inany'otli"ers
depend, is also becoming ripe. The Austrian govern-
ment is willingto yield much, but not all; willing to
give reforms, but not to capitul-ate entirely and acknow-
ledge the Constitution of 748-or, in other words, to Re-
peal the Union. That being the case, they propose on
both sides to fight. Austrian troops are ordered into
Hungary; and, most significant sign of all, Garibaldi,
who may be disappointed, as I said, of his campaign in
Venetia, seems to be turning all his thoughts to Hungary.
On tne l§th_, General Turr, the Hungarian, came to Ca-
pre ' present to the general a star offered, him by the
“th and” who came with him into Sicily; and gave
the star, with ii. short address, pledging the remnant of
the immortal thousand to attend him at the first sum-
mons. The general, in his reply, uses these words:

“I count upon them, general, when I shall bring to
your beautiful country the succor of your arms, asI have
made oath to do. over the tomb of those brave Hungarians
who died for Italy. This is a sacred duty for the Italians,
and we shall know how to fulfil it.”

I wish, heartily, the moment were come to redeem this
promise. It would set General Garibaldi to his proper
work, and end his writing of absurd letters. The ab-
isurdest of all that he has yet penned -is the letter to a
Glasgow committee.-——“ In this struggle, so far as it
regards Italy, England is the representative of God: *'

* *' May God bless the English people, who,
while proudly guarding the liberty.of their own country,
are always disposed to accord hospitality to misfortune,
and have not hesitated to declare" themselves, from the
first, on the side of the oppressed ‘against the oppreesor.”
——If England had ever done anything for Italy, one
could understand and excuse this sort of language ; but
seeing that she has never done anything in favor of
Italy, and never even said anything until after Solferino ;
and, seeing that Garibaldi’s blarney must only be with
a view of inducing the English to take their part actively

.for the future, and to assure them of gratitude for favors
,to come, I fear we must set the thing down as false flun.
gkeyism. ~ ’ ‘  _ ,

As to the prospects of war and peace, however, not one
of all these impending quarrels, in Italy, in Denmaik, or
,in Hungary, touches the English so nearly and so keenly
as the affair of Syria ; to which I must again ask the at-
tention of your readers. I

Six thousand French troops are still in Beyront and
the Lebannon. The severities which have beenexercised
against the murdering Drnscs by Fuad Pacha, under the
pressure of French influence, have still more exasperated
that savage people, but also all the Mussulmaii popula-
tions; and, if French protection be withdrawn, all the
Maronites and other Christians must either emigrate or
fall in indiscriminate massacre. Such is their own fears,
and in France it is perfectly understood. Early next
month, the six months pres-cri ed for French occupation
will have expired: and the Emperor must either abandon
the poor trembling crea.tures to‘ their certain fate, or else
kee the troops in Syria, and probably reinforce them.

struggle against it: and if the Sultan, under that strong
influence, should consent to a continued occupation by
France, then the other Powers of Europe would nothave
a word to say. But England looks with strange anxiety
on this growing power of France in the East, which
anxiety is rendered still more nervous by the fact that
M. de Lesseps has been for three months in Egypt, with
great bands of workmen, busily cutting his Suez Canal.
The waters of the Red Sea and of the Mediterranean will
actually be soon flowing into one another. Ezist India-

is the gnawing, devouring anxiety of commercialvlflngland
at this day. Freedom of Italy, independenceof Denmark,
emancipation of black men, general philanthropy, and
progress, and Christianity—all are nothing to this.
England does not forget, and she knows France does not
forget, that a great part of Hindostan was French be-
fore it was English. She remembers, too, with a shudder,
how nearly the First-Napoleon came togetting possession
of all Eastern routes through this-same Egypt; and has
an uneasy instinct that the Third Napoleon is sent upon
earth to complete his great predecessor’s plans, and that,
if not this sacred mission, he has no mission, errand, or
business on earth at all. No wonder our Anglo-Saxon
brother feels alarmed : yet the situation is aditficult one.
How is England to interfere with either of those two he-
neficent operations in the East—-protection of Christian
men from Pagan assassins—or the opening a new highway
to the commerce of all nations? You are aware, that
our Anglo-Saxon brother is Christian before all things-
next, after that, commercial and civilizing. What can
be more Cliristian than the protection of real baptized
ltiaronites against absolute Pagans? What more civiliz-
ing and commercial, more ameliorative and philanthro-
pic, more thoroughly benevolent and almost Anglo-
Saxon (if I may use so strong an expression) than the
creating new channels of blessed commerce, and facilita-
ting peaceful interchange of useful commodities? How
will Great Britain answer it to the world at large, and to
an enlightened century, if she now cry out, “ You must
leave the Maronites’ throats to be cut—you must let the
commerce of twenty nations go all round the weary and
stormy Cape Voyage ; but what cannot be endured is
thgit you should throw London ten days in arrear of Mar-
seilles, a fortnight in arrear of Naples, for making the
Eastern voyage.’-? The objection can really scarce be put
in this shape; yet such is precisely-the meaning of it;
and, what is worse, all manKi.nd‘»lrnows.the same.

A15 jbis very point. t,h.cu—-I-on-this matter of French oc-
cupation of Syria, French influence. in Turkey, and.‘
French canal through Suez (which three affairs are all
one affair), it is believed by many prudent persons that
the.Emperor will make a stand, and call a halt, in his
course of conciliation and deference to the English.

been soothed by the abolition of passports in their favor ;
they have got many “ reassurances,” and gua.ran,tees of
peace; they have even been flattered with the idea that

fleet was ordered away from aeta: all these acts of de-
ference and friendship may be pointed t'_('> hereafter, as so
many roofs of the Emperor’s strong wish to be at peace
with rigland (and that is his wish), but can they ask
him seriously to give up a Christian nation to the sword
in Syria? Can they expect him to interfere with the
commercial enterprise of twenty thousand French share-
holders, laboring to open up new highways of traffic?
Why, they cannot do it. All the world would cry shame ;
and the excellent King of Abyssinia. himself, Nigas Te-
goussin, who is waiting for thatcanal to pour the wealth
of Abyssinia into Europe, would feel himself an ill-used
sovereign.

Yet, it is a matter of vital consequence to England,
and with another war, to get the French out of Syria and
Egypt once more, as, by tremendous exertions, she did
once before. Here comes round the very scene of
Napoleon and the battle of the Pyramids——of Sidney

‘Smith, Nelson, and the Nile——same battle-ground, same

contending Powers, but not, I trust, the same fortune.
The wisdom of this Third Napoleon has got England
clearly in the wrong, and placed himself conspicuously
in the right. He will never have a- more auspicious
moment to provoke the foes of his house to their last de-
cisive conflict. But he will not declare war, nor intend
or devise any harm against England ; he will only per-
sist in doing good to his fellow—creatiires, and promoting
civilization. England will declare war, and seek with
all her might, and all the alliances that all the wealth
she can borrow, can command, to ruin him, his dynasty,
and his people. On her head, then, be the conse-
quences.
run ENEMY IN siciLY.

M. Jourdan, a writer in the Siecle, and usually a strong
partisan of the English alliance, and laudator of British
institutions, has written a highly indignant article on
the constant and generally underhand and treacherous
methods pursued by the English in endeavoring to un-
dermine and counteract French influence. and to raise
up a hatred against the French name in all parts of the
Vi orld. Amongst other things he affirms, on what autho-
rity I know not-, that Sicily is now swarming with Eng-
lish agents, whispering calumnies against France and
persuading the Sicilians that their true interest lies in
handing over their island to British protection. Of
course, these fellows would be solemnly disavowed, if
caught in the act ;. but the statement is the more likely,
as it is well known the possession of Sicily has long been
a darling object with Lord Palmerston. Nothing but
substantial evidence would have moved an Alnglo.-maniac
like Louis Jourdan to reveal this plot; and it is the
more provoking as France certainly has no designs in
regard to Sicily at all, save to help Sicilians,’ as well as

- other Italians, to their independence and the government

of their choice.
THE -AFFAIR DE LASTEYRIR.

A sharp altercation has been going on since the pub-
lication of the foolish article, from which I sent you
some .ext.re¢t8 upon. .I.rist.= a..tfsirg- De Lssteyrie had
charged a c'er'tai'n ecclesiastic, writing in the 00:-respondem
(l’Abbe Perraud), with apologizing for assassination in
Ireland; because, he said, that extermination provoked
acts of vengeance. M. Perraud addresses a letter to De
Lasteyrie, calling on him to point out the passage he
.had justified assassination (fgzit (‘apologies do Passassinat).
De Lasteyrie refuses to insert it in the Revue dea Down
Monde). M. Peri-and applies to the editor, who also re-
fuses. M. Perraud sends them the letter by an .’.-uz'ssz'er
to demand its publication, and to take ofiicial note of
the refusal. Then, at last, seeing that an action for
slander was impending, they consent to print M. Per-
raud’s letter; but it is printed with an introduction b‘ M.
dejlsasteyric before it, and a. long comment by M. de as-
;teyric after it. I would not now recur toallthis, except
to notice the outrageous passion of hatred with which
this Do Lasteyrie seems to he possessed against us and
our cause. Father Pel‘l‘M1d, in his article on the Tenant-
Bill, had cited cases, and had named landlords who, as

landlord power in Ireland. Whereupoii De Lasteyrie
says:

“ And this is speaking oflreland--of a country where
assassinations are frequent. It is, therefore, singularly
imprudent to point out by name such or such a proprie-
tor to the hatred cf the people.” ~

And again——-

“Surely M. l’Abbe Perraud did not know, when he
wrote these lines, that the majority of the neighoring
landlords have had their fathers or their brothers assas-
siuated."

Father Pcrraud had cited the language of Mr. Smith
O'Brien in condemnation of the clearance system, and
spoken of him as a Protestant gentleman. And Liistey-
rie, with the air of a man who reveals an incredibly
shameful fact, exclaims:

They have got a beautiful conimercial t_r_eaty: they have =

it was in’ deference to their. remonstrauces the French ‘

all the world knows, have lately given examples of the -

.deinned by an Irish jury for armed insurrection. H:
l’Abbe Porraud is, doubtless, ignorant of- this fact: he is
mistaken both as to the value of the facts, and as to the
value of persons.”

It appears, then, that Mr. 0’Bi-ieii is a ’person§upon
W hom De Lasteyrie, for his part, sets very little value.
We are "of a. different opinion in Ireland; where his
authority, on a matter of fact, or his opinion on a matter
of Eight andjustice, would be really held in some esti-
ma ion.

. I am glad to tell you, however, that M. de Lasteyrie
is much censured. He has gone beyond what even the
“liberal” school deem necessary in favor of England;
and this is easily accounted for from his family connec-
tions with Irish aristocracy. His wife is one of the
Rohan-Chabot, related to the Duke of Leinster; and.I
am informed, but will not assert, that he himself has,
or expects to have, landed property in Ireland. If so,
the man is, perhaps, acting very prudently ; for, if We
happily effect a-revolution in that country, most un-
donbtedly we will not suffer him or any of his friends to
eject a townlaiid in winter—nor in summer neither,
for.that niatter—to make room for his favorite cattle,
which, he says, is the best popnlaton for our island.

going on here in France does not draw out the English
oracles. Neither about Irish freedom of the press, Irish
packed juries, nor Irish exterminations, will they utter
one word in reply to, or notice of, any French review,
magazine, or newspaper. I would beg to complimeng
the English press upon this rcticence. It is truly treat-
ing.the subject in a masterly way, and if they once open
their lips they will spoil all. They have _the less need
to interfere, seeing that they have such zealous cham-
pions among the French “liberals”-—a race of ‘crea-
tures of whom France and the world_ are well nigh
weary.
