Iv another co➢amn will be found the appeal pro- seated, by Count CAYoVR and his oolleagne in the Couronnes*, of Paris to the Cabinets of the Tuileries and 8.. James's, after the Congress had refused to take into consideration the state of Italy. This ap peal, or repreeentation, or protest—call it what you will—is probably the most eloquent dconaleat of its kind recorded in history. Measured in its language, ea became the representatives of the mama who has disarmed revolution by governing is a castlta• clonal manner, carefully avoiding every expraesies that might excite the susceptibilities of the deepens Governments, still the Sardinian remonstrant, pre sents each a picture of lawless sucrose/most es the indepondesos of other states, and of mad provarstkis to revolution by brutal oppression on the part of Austria. as the most glowing words of poet or of orator might have failed to produce. Let us recal to the meteoric, of our readers--a subject passed over in silence by the Sardinian Pleni potentiaries—what had taken place in Italy between 1830 and 1848. The combustion kindled by secret associations had been quenched in blood. A brief in terval of despair and inaction succeeded. Continued misrule, however, speedily resuscitated plots and coaspireciss. But a wiser spirit was at the same time awakened among some distinguished Liberals. A party was formed, and beams rapidly powerful, which aimed at gradual, practical reforms, not at revolution. In 1847 members of this party were to be found in every state of the Peninsula, and had gained influence even with some of the Governments Its strongholds were the Legations and Piedmont. The events which took place at Paris in 1848 ex cited a sympathetic emotion throughout Italy; bat had the Italian Governments acted with average prudence, firmness, and sincerity, this constitutional party would have been able to have maintained its ascendancy. Falsehood and vacillation, however, on the part of the ruler, precipitated the Peninsula into the revolutionary gull, from which Piedmont aloes ultimately emerged. Since that time despotism has, except ia the Sardinian states, continued to display, if possible, morn of its inherent brutality and folly than formerly. Under a wise and liberal govern ment Piedmont has become daily more tran quil and propene& Throughout the rest of Italy all has been anarchy. Oppression has pro voked conspiracy; a foreign mercenary soldiery has been celled in to prop up the tottering thrones of esoular and esolesiaatisal tyrants by its bayonets; and in the struggle between ruthless Go vernments and maddened subjects all the bonds of legitimate society have been relaxed. The brigands are the real masters of Central and Southern Italy. Foe years the coustitutioaaliste of Central Italy dung to their faith in moderate and legal means of obtain ing redress, hut of late continued misery has made them waver; and the peremptory refusal of the Con gress even to listen to the story of their weep is likely to drive them to have recourse to the • wild justice of revenge." This it is which has extorted from the Sardinian Government the gusset and anxious appeal to which we have invited attention. Sardinia is tranquil; its Government is paternal, its people are free, loyal, and obedient to the laws. Bat the Piedusontess are Italians as well as subjects of the King of Saa atnL. They are allied by blood and marriage with the inhabitants of Lombardy, the Legation, sad the Duchies. They speak the same laapage; they cherish the same historical memories. They have among them many who have sought refuge in con stitutional Sardinia from the intolerable wrongs to which they were subjected in the aeighbonring states. Kea goaded beyond endurance are liable to rush to the eonclusioa that " he who is not with them is against them." The Sardisian Govern ment, by maiataining a neutral attitude between the oppressors and the poplin of Italy, incurs the risk of losing the confidence of its subjects, and awakening the flames of revolution within its own treatises. At the same time it is mewed by Austria, the accomplice and abetter of every tyranny. The Austrian Government has at no time enameled the dissatisfaction with which it views the soastitu tiosal policy of Sardinia. It bas repeatedly sought oat pretexts for fixing a quarrel upon that state. At present, not satisfied with fanning the revolutionary flame throughout Italy by acting es the hangmen of her &apes, Austria is augmenting her forma in the territories bordering on Piedmont, and occupying strong positions all along the southern mad sesta a frontiers. The meaning of those preparstioas may be reed bat too clearly by the light of pest history. Austria la making ready to avail herself deny distarbasees in Piedmont as • pretext for taking military caustics of the country sad subverting its coastitational goverament. Sardinia is in immiseat danger of being crashed by the oollidea betweso despotism and anarchy. This purest We snug from the Sardinian Government that remonstraue which we enact otherwise desig nate than as a wry of spay extorted by the pro- spect of impsadiag destrution. - The Reesoustrrnee demonstrates that the peace of all Europe, no lees thee that of Italy, is pissed in sztrinse peril by the enereasluseate of Austria and her complicity with the essasoulated despotisms of the Peninsula. We know that the sympathies of the best liberal statesmen of Ragland are with the Italians ; and we trust that the dangers which memos the repose of Europe, will rouse them to act upon them sympathise. We trust that the French Government will disown the Beres sity of cooperating heart and hand with Eng land and Sardinia. The apparent «Mims of the French Government with regard to Italy has given fresh courage to Austria. The culpable language of Coma WALEWSII with retires., to the Belgian press—of the folly of which it is rumoured he Government has bemire fully aware—bas in duced Austria to attack the press of Piedmont. We have confidence in the justice and courage of the Piedinonteas Courts of Law; and, as Austria has been obliged to resort to legal proceedings, we have no fears for the free prom of the 84841214 a domi nions. Bat if Austria be wonted in the "wager of law" to which she has bad recourse, we dread the consequences of her vindictive anger for Sardiaia. We do, therefore, most earnestly desire that the &saheb Government may give free coarse to its generous sympathies, mad that the Fresh Government may repair the mischief it has dose by coquetting with the despots of the East. Of me thing we are cer tain : that if Sardinia and Italy are permitted to fall unaided, the effects upon the public Wed of Femme and England will be terrific. gbe e• The Queen, attended by the Hon.

The undersigned, plenipotentiaries of his Majesty the Bing of Sardinia, full of °Dalliance in the senti ments of justice of the governments of France and England, and in the friendship which these Porters protege for Piedmont, have not ceased, since the opening of the Cooferenees, to hope that the Congress of Paris would not separate without taking into its serious consideration the state of Italy, and delibe rating oa the mesas of applying a remedy to it, sett : restoring the political equilibrium disturbed by * occupation of a great part of the provinces of the , peninsula by foreign troops. Belying on the concur rence of their allies, they felt a repugnance to 'eta tale the belief that any other Power, after having sac-' pressed an interest so lively sad so generous in the fate of the Christians of the Beat, of the Greek and &laconic races, would refuse to take into considera tion that of peoples of the Latin rase still more un fortunate, inasmuch as, in coassquence of the higher degree of civilisation which they have attained, they, feel more keenly the effects of a bad government. In this hope they have been deceived. Notwith standing the good will of Prance and England, not. withstanding the benevolent efforts of these govern. mints, the obstinacy (persistanes) of Austria, in exacting that the deliberations of the Congress should remain strictly confined to the limits of quo. tions which had been traced before meeting, is the 01689 that this assembly, towards which the eyes of all Europe are turned, is about to dissolve, not only without having brought the least alleviation to the sufferings of Italy, but without one gleam of hope for the future to shine beyond the Alps of a nature to calm the spirits of men, and enable them to endure the present with resignation. Perhaps the peculiar position occupied by Austria in the Congress rendered this deplorable result in evitable. The undersigned are compelled to acknow ledge this. They at the same time believe that it is their duty, without addressing any reproach to their allies, to sell their especial attention to the disastrous consequences which this result may have for Europe, for Italy, and more particularly for Sardinia. It would be saperiinoss to ergot here an exact pic ture of Italy. What is Occurring in that country is too notorious. The system of compression and violent re-action in augurated in 1848 and 1849, which the revolutionary disturbances that had jut been repressed perhaps justified, endures without the least alleviation. It may even be said that, with some exceptions, it is enforced with redoubled rigour. The prisons and the torus have never been mare tnU of persons sentenced for political causes; the number of the proscribed hes never been more ooselderable; the police has never been more 'meddlesome (tracaosiere), nor the state of siege more harshly applied. Snob mesas of government most of neoessity keep the populations in a state of constant irritation and of revolutionary fermentation. _ _ Bosh has been the state of Italy for the last seven yell% - Nevertheless, the popular agitation has appeared to 1 1 subside of late. The Italians, seeing one of their na tional Priness allied with the Great Western Powers with a view to ensure the triumph of the principles of equity and justice, and to ameliorate the condition of their 00-religionarles in the East, conceived a hope that peace would not be made before some solace had been applied to their own woes. This hope rendered them oaloi and resigned. Bat when they shall learn the negative remits of the Ooogreas of Paris—when they shall know that Aus tria, notwithstanding the good oases and benevolent intervention of Franco and England, has opposed even discussion—that Austria would not so much as consent to inquire after the means calculated to re medy such a deplorable state of affairs—then there can be no doubt that the irritation which hem been lolled for the moment will re-awaken more fiercely than ever. The Italians, convinced that they have nothing more to hope from diplomacy or the efforts of the Powers who take an interest in their fate, will throw themselves back with Southern vehemence into the ranks of the subversive and revolutionary party, and Italy will become a burning centre of coospiracies and disorders, which may indeed be suppressed by redoubled severity, but which the most trifling European commotion will oases to break out again with the utmost violence. A state of things so disastrous, if it deserves to fix the attention of the governments of France and England, squally interested in the maintenance of order and the regulated development of civilisation, must naturally in a still higher degree pre-occupy the government of the ring of Sardinia. The awakening of revolutionary pusione in all the countries which surround Piedmont, by causes of a nature to excite popular sympathy, exposes the Bar dinian government to dangers of monde* gravity, which may compromise that firm and moderate policy which has succeeded so happily in the internal affairs of the kingdom, and has gained for it the sym pathy and esteem of civilised Europe. But this is not the only danger that threatens Sardinia. The maize to which Austria resort• to repress the revolutionary ferment in Italy exposes it to a still greater danger. This power, invited by the sovereigns of the minor states of Italy who're unable to resist the discontent of their subjects, has taken military occupation of the greater part of the Valley of the Po and of Cen tral Italy, and its influence is irresistibly felt even in the countries where it has not a single soldier. On one side, resting on Ferrara and Bologna, the troops of Austria extend as far as Ancona along the shore of the Adriatic, which has become in a manner an Austrian lake; on the other side Austria, mistress of Placentia—whioh, contrary to the spirit, it not to the letter, of the Treaties of Vienna, she labours to trans form into a fortress of the first order—has placed a garrison in Parma, and is preparing to deploy her fortes the whole length of the Sardinian frontier, from the Po to the summit of the Apennines. These permanent military occupations, by Austria, of countries which do not belong to her, render her absolute mistress of the whole of Italy, destroy the balance of power estahlished by the Treaty of Vienna, and are a standing menace to Piedmont. Piedmont, blockaded as it were on every side by the Austrians, and seeing the forces of • power which she knows to be animated by no kindly feelings towards her developed on her eastern frontier, which is entirely open, is kept in a state of constant appre- i hension, which obligee her to remain armed, and to adopt defensive measures extremely burdensome to her finances, already dilapidated by the events of 1848 and 1849, and by the war in which she has taken part. The facts which the undersigned have now stated suffice to demonstrate the dangers of the position in which the government of the King of Sardinia is pissed. Disturbed in the interior by the action of revolu tionary passions, which are excited all around it by the violent system of repression, and by foreign own patron, and menaced by the extension of the power of Austria, the Sardinian government may at any I moment be forced to adopt extreme manna, of Which it is impoirible to calculate the consequence. The eadersigned cannot doubt that such a state of things must excite the solicitude of the governments of France and England ; not only because of the sin cere friendship and real sympathy which those powers profess for the sovereign who alone of all European ruler., at the momen t w h en success was ! moat uncertain, declared openly in their favour, but still more because this state of things is in tiinth a Pearce of danger for the whole of Europe. Sardinia is the only Italian state that has been i Ole to erect an insurmountable barrier against the revolutionary spirit, and to remain at the same time independent of Austria; Sardinia is the sole counterpoise in Italy to the encroaching influence of Austria. If Sardinia should succumb, her forces exhausted, abandoned by her allies; if she, too, were compelled to submit to the domination of Austria; then the conquest of Italy by that power would be completed; and Austria, after having obtained, without the least sacrifice on her part, the immense benefit of the free navigation of the Danube and the neutralisation of the Black Sea, would acquire a pre ponderating influence in the West. - This is ;hat Franee and England cannot desire; this is what they will never permit. The undersigned, therefore, are conrinoed that the Cabinets of Paris and London, taking into their se rious consideration the state of Italy, will take coun sel with Sardinia on the means of applying an effica cious remedy. (Signed) C. CAvori. DE VILLAMAIINA. •EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (PZON OVZ own 00111IPOWININT.) PARIS, SUNDAY EVINING The mysterious Vienna correspondent of the Coss stilutionnela whose communications slimy' smack strongly of the Austrian chancery, has a letter to day which contains some revelations of considerable interest, touching the relations between France and Austria, snd also an explanation of the reasons for the signing of the separate treaty of April lb, be tween France, England, and Austria, which occa sioned so much surprise in the political world when its existence became known for the first time, by the presentation of a copy to the English parliament. The correspondent claims credit for accuracy in having in former letters ;affirmed that the delibera tions of the Congress on the Italian question served but to bring out in stronger relief the entire con formity of views which existed between the court of Vienna and the court of the Tuileries on the subject. He speaks with the utmost contempt of the Sardinian memorandum, about which " the best informed journals made so much nabs," and observes very truly that the protocols do not contain the least allusion to any such document. The writer, or at least those who instruct him, cannot have been ignorant of the existence of the memorandum, which has now been published. The second memorandum, protesting against the hostility of Austria to Pied mont, as exhibited in the Congress, appears in this very number of the Conatituti °meal , side by side with the letter, the male purpose of which is to de.lare that there is a close, intimate, and permanent alli anee between France sad Austria. This is strange, but so it is. Since the treaty, the correspondent says, France and Austria, desirous of proving by a collective step the perfect accord which prevails between them u to the best means to consolidate order and tranquility in the Appenine pecinenla, and to abridge the dura tion of the foreign occupation of the states of the church, have agreed forthwith to address, (on behalf of each of the two governments) a pressing memo randum to the Papal government. To this end Count Colloredo, the new Austrian ambassador to the court of Rome, will immediately proceed to his post. He will at once, conjointly with the French ambassador, Count de Rayneval, deliver the document in question to Cardinal Antonelli. The two great catholic powers, prompted solely by the sincere and, so to speak, filial desire to strengthen the government of the Holy See, to en hance the respect due to the throne of the Sovereign Pontiff, and to augment its eclat, have taken pains in this memorandum to represent and demonstrate the urgency of accomplishing in the interior of the states of the church such salutary reforms ea are called for by the aspirations of the country and the incessant development of modern civilisation. The counsels of France and Austria, although couched in that friendly form which is doubly due to an independent sovereign and the Vicar of Christ, have nevertheless a certain firmness of lan guage calculated to produce a profound impression upon the sacred college. It may, perhaps be objected that a similar step was taken in 1831, without aoy other result than illusory and sterile promises. But it must not be forgotten that the memorandum of 1831 was presented just after the revolution of July, the influence of which in Italy was warmly opposed by Austria, and more especially after the landing of the French at Ancona. The tricoloured flag floating upon the ramparts of a pontifical city caused so much uneasiness at that time toj Prince Metternich, that he offered to abandon the Legations to obtain the evacuation of Ancona. The Holy See, on the other hand, distressed to see its territory occupied against its will by a foreign foroe, received the re monstrances of the government of July with mis trust, and, retrenching itself behind Austrian bay onets, sank into a state of inertia, against which all the efforts of the Thiers cabinet remained powerless. Tired of controversy, Count Mole at last laid down the bases of negotiation in the fol lowing terms :—" Ancona to be evacuated when Austria ceases to occupy the Legations, it being, however, understood that the Holy Father is to be prompted to acts of amelioration indispensable to his government, and which may prevent fresh troubles." The French cabinet, therefore, no longer pretended to impose reforms upon the Holy See; it confined itself to a desire to suggest them; std to testify its respect for the sovereignty of the Pope it withdrew its troops, in order that no idea of coercion might be implied in its councils. Bat at this day France and Austria, in respecting the sovereign tilde pendenoe of the Hely See, and confining their advice , within the limits traced by the general forms of in ternational law, are the more certain to exercise a salutary influence upon the sacred college, that while pursuing an identical end they nee identical language, and develops an identical policy at Rome. Between Austria party to the Holy Alliance, and Austria a contracting party to the treaty of Decem ber 2, there is henceforth an abyss which no longer permits it to be doubted that between her and impe rial France a close solidarity of interests has been established—witness the treaty signed at Paris on the 15th of April last between Austria and the West ern Powers. Commentaries and suppositions are naturally not wanting on the subject of this treaty between Are* parties, apart from the general treaty of peace signed by sews. You may remember that in one of my letter., when I spoke of the character of the proposi tions made by Austria to Russia in the latter end of December 1835, through Count Eaterhasy, I insisted upon the feet that the court of Vienna attributed to these propositions the character of an ultimatum. To attempt to show that I was wrong, some people observed that the proposition contained no CLIBUS hill. That is true. But besides that, a CaBUB heel, is not usually laid down in the ultimatum itself, in order that the acceptance may be the more easy, without wounding susceptibilities ; it is important to know that Austria had, on November 14, 1855, ac cepted every caeca belli in • memorandum paraphed at Vienna, between Count Boca and Baron de Boarqueney. This is the memorandum which was communicated to the Britannic govern ment, and served as the basis of tie propositions of peace concerted between France and Great Britain es the minimum of the guarantees to be asked for from Russia. The court of Vienna not only appro- priated all the modifications introduced into its own memorandum by the English cabinet in concert with France, but undertook moreover to present to the Russian cabinet the propositions so modified, as coming from its personal initiative. With the praise worthy object of avoiding during the negotia tions in Paris any irritating question—and is general anything which might bust the amour propre of Russia, whose conciliatory and mo derate spirit was appreciated by the allies of Dec. 2, the latter offered to comprise is a separate act the common guarantee which was indispensable to cover the work of peace. This exphiins the origin of the treaty of April 15 between Austria, France, and Great Britain. This treaty was in substance but a corollary, or rather the complement of the engage meats entered into by Austria in the memorandum of November 14 towards the Western Powers. It followed that the powers not parties to that memo. random remained also strangers to the complementary treaty. The importance of such a treaty can escape no one. The treaty of April lb is the keystone of the arch of the permanent alliance which Austria has contracted with France. The Mons:tour of this day contains no important announcement, but deals in a certain manner with the Belgian question. Under the guise of a letter from Brussels, it criticises the spirited speech of Count Vllaio, Belgian Minister of Foreign Affairs, na deficient in moderation and statesmanlike reserve, and as having been spoken merely for effect. It also reprints, in large type, a leading articl.i from a Lon don daily tory journal, accusing the Belgian press; and in another place quotes, in support of the course taken by Count Walewski, the following extract from Count Cavour's speech in the Sardinian Chamber : _ _ Before I enter on the meat delicate port of my dimourre, I @ball reply to the lest observation of M. Bu ff s. The French plenipotentiary invited the attention of till Con gress to the imams committed by a ;onion of the Belgian peen against the French government and its chief. The plenipotentiary of Great Britain, after making the greatest enervation' respecting the principle of the freedom of the pens, himself loudly censured those excesses. I made com mon cease with the declarations of the English Minister, but only in confining myself so a mere adhesion. I did not think the moment oppor . une for making a speech in favour of the liberty of the press, for, without serving that liberty, I might have injurer the 'Ashen cause. A few plenipotenunies, in fact, would have been glad to be able to divert attention from the Italian question in order to direct it to the preen. If I bad spoken, I oould only have followed the example of the English minister, and sided in great measure with the French pleni p otentiary. The Etter, inmost moderate 'Lagoon', , -ondemned the ezoesses, not of the journals advocating exaggerated doctrines, but of ttooo whose principal and even sole eject is to wage war splint the French government, not by dimension, but by ignoble attacks and atrocious calumnies. It is &ferule /or good relation' to continue between two nations when in one of then journals of this kind crest; and in manifesting this opinion I should have been merely restating what I bare already said in this parliament.

Count hismiami concluded hie spetch in the Sar- dinian Chamber of Deputies in three words: Ministers of the King, let me me conjure you to preserve lateen the precious and noble mission oocfided to ,oar hands. Matters have now arrived at such a point that yon must either fall back or boldly much forward to fulfil 14yally end energetically the noble and sacred work com mitted to yon by the goo i fortune of Italy and the visible destiny of God. (Prolonged cheering.) . . Count Cavort', after reading the tots which will be f land in another °clams, added the following words did not mean to say yesterday that we were on the point of a rupture with Austria. I merely said that the negoti ations of Paris, so far from bringing the two governments is closer harmony, proved that there was a radical differ ence between the policy of &Misfit and Austria. The government will always aim at the good of Italy, but whilst rocleiming a national policy and upholding the cause of Italy, it is aware of the imposes on it, and will endeavour to unite prudence with energy. I ought to mention, to the honour of the Enka Government, that it has offered to so another loan of 1,000,0001., but it is not required. We have already re ceived from the English Government 1,000,0001., and are to males another 500,0001. The cost of the war on the lit of May amounted to 44,000,000 franca ; and there are unpaid demands which, I fear, will absorb 6,1.00 000 !rases more. Ws shall not, if possible, realise the 25,000,000 francs; but, if the Ch►mber hes confidence in toe Government, it ought not to curtail its power in this respect. The order of it; day was almost unanimously approved of ; Broff.rio, Gerntenetti, Solaro, Della Torre, Ponsitione, Della Motto, Brenuone, Deviry, and one or two members of the right, dissenting. SARDINIA AND THE PAPAL STATES. The following are the essential points contained in the second or " verbal note" presented by the Sardi nian Plenipotentiaries to the Ministers of France and England on the 27th of March, 1856, with reference to the Roman Legations: 1. The provinces of the Raman State situate betweon the Po, the Adriatic, and the Appenines (from the province of Ancona to that of F t), although remaining 'ejecta to the high dominion of the Hely See, shall be completely secularised and organised so regards administrative, j udicial, enikety, sad financial matters. in such a way as to be sepa rate from the remainder of the State. Nevertheless the dip lorestle and religious rel tints will remain exclusively the concern of the Court of Rome 2. TEe territs r al end administri tie* organisation of tllis Prir eipslity to be estsblished in the Arm in which it wu under the reign of Napoleon I. until 1814. The Code Na po:eon io he promulgated, except the necessary rocvifica- Con. in the titles regarding the rdations between Church and State. 3. A lay Pontifical V.car to govern dome provinces, with Ministers and a Council of State. The position of the Vicar named by the P. pe to be guaranteed fot ten ye Ire at least. The Idinisteri, the Counsellors of State, and ell the Government officer+ to be named by the Pontifical Vicar. Their legislative and executive powen revel , would trend to ril gious matters, nor to mixed matters that will be previously determined, nor in fine to whatsoever regards political istenational relatime. 4. These provions t contribute a fair proportion .o the maintenance of the Court of Items and to the service of the public debt actually existing. . . _ r 11. An indigesous army to be organised immediately by means of the military conscription. 6. Besides the communal and provisaial councils, a gene rat council to be formed for the examination and regulation of aconite. In the Senate to-day Count Cavour announced the retirement of Cavalier* Cibrario from the Mi nistry for Foreign Affairs, and his own nomication thereto temporarily.
