The decision of the matter rests with the
Frenoh Emperor. Sardinia will not attaok
Austria unless he stands behind her. But
for that confidence of support, she would
never have dared to advance as Bhe has.—
Yet, apparently, the Emperor himself is not
entire master of his situation. On the one
hand, it has beoome very manifest that the
French people are very averse to a war on
account of Italy. The oheers bestowed in the
Legislature upon those passages of the Im
perial Speech whioh related topeaoe, and the
Frigid reception given by the people of Paris
to Princo Napoleon and bis yodng Sardidian
bride, combining with new indications daily,
have left no room for doubt in regard to the
pacific disposition of the nation. But on the
other hand Cavour, enoouraged by the Em
peror, bus gone so far that retreat on bis
pml i» iuipoBsi'ute wUuuut ruin, lie oannoc
abate his claims without retiring from power,
and giving place to that party which prefers
the favor of the Austrian Emperor to that of
the French. Napoleon then seems in some
sort constrained w stand by Qmws at all
hazards.
