Austria and Russia at Warsaw-- Europe and the Italian Question.
There seems to be no longer any reason to doubt that the Emperor of
Austria is to make one of the party of princes who are to assemble at
Warsaw in the beginning of the present month, and the alarmists
everywhere are doing their best to translate this circumstance into an
omen of evil for Italy, in the threatened renewal of the grand
conspiracy of 1815 against liberal ideas and national independence.

If it were true that the Emperor ALEXANDER of Russia had indeed
determined to let bygones be bygones with the House of Hapsburg, to
forget the attitude of Austria during the Crimean War, and the
ceaseless intrigues of Austrian diplomacy against Russian interests
and Russian influence in the East; and if we were further to
understand that Prussia had resolved to cement this return of the
great Northern Empire to the ranks of the Legitimist crusade, by the
adhesion of all Protestant Germany under her own direction, there
would indeed be reason enough for something more than anxiety as to
the immediate future of European order, if not of European freedom.
For although the days of the Congress of Vienna are past never to
return; and the doctrine of right Divine as METTERNICH and CASTLEREAGH
understood it, sleeps with the dynastic dreams of LOUIS XIV. and the
theological Quixotism of PHILIP II., the military power at the
disposal of the three sovereigns, whose presence in the ancient Polish
capital must force afresh upon the memory of all mankind the atrocious
bargains which obliterated Poland from the list of States, is still
formidable enough in itself, and sufficiently loyal to the banners of
despotism to menace Europe with a serious and sanguinary strife.

Russia, Prussia and Austria combined for dynastic intervention in
Italy would not indeed find before them in 1860 the easy and supple
Cabinets of forty years ago. A march from Warsaw upon Turin, by way of
Berlin and Vienna, would now afford something more than a spectacle to
the Western nations which looked on tranquilly in 1820 upon the
lawless intervention of Austrian bayonets throughout the Italian
Peninsula, and gently remonstrated in 1846 against the equally lawless
extinction of the last gleams of liberty in the guaranteed Republic of
Cracow. The public opinion of the West has now attained the
proportions of a Power able always in the last resort, to coerce the
most apathetic of Governments into action; and the strongest military
State of Europe is now ruled by a man too sagacious and too daring to
suffer himself to be driven into the leadership of this irresistible
force, when by assuming that leadership at once he can control it to
his own ends and those of France. A new parody upon the drama of the
Holy Alliance beginning now at Warsaw, would be more likely to find
its denoument at St. Petersburg and Vienna than at Rome and Paris. But
such a parody would not on either side be weakly played. If attempted
at all, it would be attempted as the last effort of legitimacy to
assert itself as the controlling force of European policy. Is there
any solid reason, therefore, to suppose that it will be attempted, or,
in other words, to anticipate from the magnificent convention of
crowned heads, now on the point of assembling, anything approaching to
the result which the London Times somewhat prematurely describes as a
"new alliance" between Russia, Austria and Prussia?

Such an alliance could only be threatening to Europe if it were
directed against the triumph in Italy of the principle of non-
intervention. This principle is now put forth by England and by
France, and, since the peace of Villafranca, has been accepted by
Austria, Russia and Prussia, as the new foundation of international
relations in Europe. It is the diametrical converse alike in substance
and in form, of the principle on which the Holy Alliance was founded,
and in conformity with which Europe was ruled, or to speak more
exactly, suppressed, from Waterloo to Solferino. The whole system of
METTERNICH reposed upon the idea that the military power of all the
legitimate sovereigns of Europe might lawfully be used to maintain the
throne of any one of their number. No revolution took place in Europe
from 1815 to 1850, in which this idea was not invoked in the form of
armed or at least of diplomatic protest against its violation. The
sovereigns at Warsaw, if they hope to make their meeting anything more
than a pompous parade, must be prepared to startle the world with a
solemn re-establishment of this idea, and must proceed to enforce it
upon the leaders of the great Italian movement. A fall in the English
funds, which followed immediately upon the announcement that FRANCIS
JOSEPH had been formally invited to meet his brother sovereigns of
Prussia and Russia, would seem to imply that in London, at least, some
such action is not regarded as beyond the possibilities of this latest
"fore-gathering" of potentates. But the English funds represent a
popular sensibility which has been so much and so cruelly worked upon
of late years, that its value as a political thermometer must be
confessed to have been considerably impaired. There is certainly
nothing in the actual relations of the Russian with the Austrian
policy which can justify the anticipation, that a renewal of official
intimacy between the Courts of St. Petersburg and Vienna is to be
followed by a joint demonstration against the great principle which
now fences Italy from the foreigner, and leaves her free to make or to
mar her own destiny.

Neither in the East nor in the Mediterranean has Russia anything to
gain by an open and aggressive alliance with Austria, which has done
more than any other Power to thwart her at Constantinople. But both in
the East and in the Mediterranean Russia has something to lose by
suffering it to be believed that she has entered upon a course of
determined hostility to Austria. The Turkish pear, though ripening
fast, is not yet ripe for Russia.

A violent convulsion in Hungary, provoking a general commotion
throughout the whole Sclavonic East of Europe, occurring at the
present moment, must at once seriously embarrass the relations of
Russia with the Western Powers, and imperil her own domestic peace.
The Czar is on the point of accomplishing one of the grandest social
revolutions recorded in history. The emancipation of 20,000,000 of
Muscovite serfs is not to be attempted with indifference in the midst
of a series of political explosions along the Russian frontier --
explosions involving the very possible revival of dormant passions in
all the Polish dominions of the Empire. If anything can facilitate the
efforts of the Austrian Government to satisfy and pacify Hungary, it
will be the conviction of the Hungarian leaders that Russia is not
disposed to look with favor upon a new Hungarian revolution; and
surely, therefore, nothing can be more natural than that the Czar
should do all that in him lies to develop this conviction at once.
Interpreted in this sense, the approaching interview of ALEXANDER and
FRANCIS JOSEPH becomes an act at once intelligible and discreet on the
part of the former sovereign, as well as of the latter, while it loses
altogether the menacing importance, for the rest of Europe, which has
been so liberally conferred upon it. We have little doubt that it will
very shortly explain itself in this light to the world; no doubt at
ail that it will do it, should the Emperor NAPOLEON, as it is now
reported, make one of the grand party.

BONNER AGAIN! -- The Ledger has captured another celebrity. President
BUCHANAN is about to join the long array of its contributors. He
promises to commence work as soon as he "gets leisure," which he fears
will not be until after the 4th of March. And then he proposes to open
with a biographical sketch of WILLIAM LOWNDES, of South Carolina. This
is not only enterprising in Mr. BONNER, but graceful and sensible in
the venerable President. We have no doubt his contributions will have
decided intrinsic interest, and certainly the spectacle of a President
of the United States becoming a contributor to a newspaper is unusual
enough to attract attention.

The following is his reply to Mr. BONNER's request:

WASHINGTON, Saturday, Sept. 8, 1860.

MY DEAR SIR: I have received your favor of the 3d inst., and shall
most cheerfully comply with your request and furnish you a sketch of
the life of WILLIAM LOWNDES, as soon as possible. He was one of the
greatest, wisest and purest statesmen that have ever adorned our
country, and yet his memory has been sadly neglected. The truth is
that my public duties occupy my whole time at present. I had hoped I
might enjoy some leisure after the adjournment of Congress; but in
this I have been disappointed. If not before, I hope to furnish you
the sketch soon after the 4th of March. This from me will be a tribute
not only to justice but to gratitude.

Yours, very respectfully,

JAMES BUCHANAN.

ROBERT BONNER, Esq.
