Lam night, Lord Jonx RUMILL laid upon She table of the House of Commons a series of official papers relating to the annexation of Savoy and Nice, in continuation of th , wewhichwere presented to Parliament a few weeks ago. Of these docu ments those which will attract most attention are the despatch of Lord Join Rcesims. to Karl Cownv in answer to M. Tuolumne@ statement of the reasons by which the Frew& Government justifies the unreserved annexation of Savoy and Nice, and IL Twouvanees despatch to Count Plamouv, contalaing the remarks of the French Government on the same. The annexation of Savoy has almost from it. first annosuicement been regarded by the public under two distinct aspects—ss the revelation of a general policy of aggrandisement on the part of France, and also as a special injury to Switserhuld and to the interests which Western Europe has in the independence and neu trality of the Swine Confederation. It is the former, the general relations of the measure, which Lord JOHN RI:SPILL more particularly con siders in the despatch now published, for although the latter, the more specific bearings of the transaction, are noticed in the course of his argument, a note to Lord COWLIT informs us that her blustery's Government intend to address the Government of France specially respecting the neutrality of Savoy sod its con nection with that of Switserland when they have had tune to consult the other Powers which are parties to the treaties of guarantee. The despatch is thus divested of much of that practical character which might otherwise have attached to it ; for after the resolution of the l anlmian Government to cede a portion of its territories to France became public, the only active duties we had to perform were those which arose nut of our engagements towards the Swiss Confederation. It was clearly, however, a duty we owed to ourselves and to our neighbours to make known our judgment on the serious act which the French EMPLItOa had announced to the world ; and we have now to ascertain how far the opinion of the country has been represented and its character upheld in the official communi cations of the Government. Lord JOHN Rcrwgu. commences by intimating that, after examining the claim which France makes to the cession of Savoy and Nice, and the principles by which it is justified, ho finds the first weak and the second unjust.

COLOURIED FLANNEL SHIRT& Sell by linnin ar.ignry. tn. mama THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY rapidly exposes the absurdity of the pretence int i ti that the increased power of Sardinia,' • • • pops lation at most of 12,000,000, can be a ree oj "APT to France as the fi rst military po of thn Continent, with a population al 31,000 % 0* essentially warlike and occupying ti vast clomp* territory, full of natural resources. The mugged'. tion that Sardinia might become a member of a Confederation arrayed against France, and that, by having both sides of the Alps, she might open Ile road to other Powers to invade France, is met by the remark, the jnstioe of which will strike every mind, that " there never can be a con " tederacy organised against France unless it be for 44 common defence against aggressions on the part " of France, and that therefore Francs has it at all " times in her power to avert the formation of inch " a confederacy. There is no power in Europe that " does not wish to maintain friendly relations with " France, and there is none that could hope to reap " any advantage from a voluntary and unprovoked " rupture with so powerful a State." The chances that such a confederacy would find an instrument in Sardinia are of course diminished, not in creased, by the power which its Government has lately acquired in Italy, and the circumstances under which it has been obtained. The argument, then, in favour of the annexation of Savoy founded 011 the assumed insecurity of the French territory bordering on that province falls to the ground. But the moat important part of Lord Joan Eve nts's despatch is that in which he considers the draw) assertion of M. Twouvenzi., that the de emed for the cession of Savoy to France ought not to give umbrage to any State, because it is icansied on a just balance of forces, and is especially pointed out by the nature of things which has placed the French system of defence at the foot of the western slopes of the Alps. Those who read M. THouvinses &vetch published ten days ago will remember that, just as after taking credit on his master's so count for disinterestedness in going to war in Italy, he proceeds to admit that the Eurssoe foresaw circumstances in which disinterestedness would have to give way to prudence, so also after renouncing in terms the theory of natural frontiers, he immediately, and without the least explanation of the inconsistency, proceeds to de velop and apply that very theory to the case in point. Lord Joax RUMILL, in reply, observes that if France, which is so strong in her population and resources, and is placed so advantageously for defence, astern; the necessity of despoiling her neighbours, then no State can be safe. He says : " Her MAJESTY'S Government must be allowed to " remark that a demand for cession of a neigh " bones territory made by a State so power " ful as France, and whose former and not very " remote policy of territorial aggrandisement " brought countless calamities upon Europe, an " not fail to give umbrage to every State in " terested in the balance of power and in the " maintenance of the general pearl. Nor can 1 " that umbrage be diminished by the grounds on " which the claim is founded ; because, if a great " military Power like France is to demand the " territory of • neighbour upon its own theory of " what constitutes geographically its propersystan " of defence, it is evident that no State could "be secure from the aggressions of a " more powerful neighbour ; that might " and not right would henceforth be the " rule to determine territorial possession, " and that the integrity and independence of " the smaller States of Europe would be placed "in perpetual jeopardy." In this passage the Foreign Secretary of England has expressed thoughts which have been working in milliona of minds all over Europe. It is not, as some French journalists idly write, that anybody grudges France the increase of power and territory she gains in the annexation of Savoy, but every one feels that I pretensio ns have been disclosed fatal to the repose of Europe. France has announced most explicitly a theory of geographical boundaries, and has shown that in seeking to carry it out she will regard nothing but her own power. It win not the object of Lord Joix Russma to inform M. Titosivnin., through Lord COWIZT, in what way the English Government will oppose these pre tensions, but to show that, while their tendency is clearly seen, their principle is not for • moment admitted. What may be done by diplomacy to smooth down present difficulties, more especially those which arise out of the claims of Switzerland, time will show. K THOUVINICL speaks of some satisfaction which France is ready to give to the Swiss Confederation and the Powers which signed the Treaty of Vienna, although we are utterly unable to imagine any arrangement short of the cession of North Savoy to Switzerland that can or ought to satisfy the world. But nothing which the French Upturns may now do can re move the profound distrust with which all his acts and words will henceforward be regarded. With his own hands he has dug a tremendous gulf, in which lies the confidence once felt in him by • generous people. We ought not to deem ourselves unfortunate in receiving the warning in time. Mr. Grant, late paymaster of her Majesty's ship Britannia, will be attached to the suite of his Royal High. awls the Priam of Wales during the forthcoming visit of his royal highaor to Cased& In committee on the Representation of the People Bill, Mr. Potts wal mo►e "That all lodgers is the United Kingdom, paying the income-tax, be entitled to vote at elec. time for representative. in parliament," Mr. Osborne will move, "That no candidate shall in any cam be liable to pay, in respect of the ch►rges fur hustings, polling booths, clerks, or any other neormary election expenses, a larger rum than 1001. for a county, and 50f. for a city or borough election ; and that the excess of all such expenses, beyond the sums shove named to be payable by each candidate, shed be borne by and defrayed out of the lame fund, and intim mme proportion, by every locality, as the expense. of registration of voters are or shall be bores and paid." A letter, written et Florence during the entry of Prime Carignan concludes:—" Flowing in the mat .es of Weal beneath ; then ministers, magistrate., glipitariss of ell nenks--whole coachfule of them—ten isairiegwo—twenty, thirty, forty—all the Enwrr of the Plottetine nobility, and not a few of the distin plated Amager@ ; then battalions of Pialmonte ee gre maws ; Um, again, and all along the procession, Dolts Life Clearila, with their numberless standards ; among them, want ecespietions, acne atter the carriages, the banner of VOIMO M Mourning.

MG, APRIL 3, 1860. . LATSIOT INTELLIGENCE. OPENING OF THE SARDINIAN CHAMBSRa SPEECH OF THE KING OF SARDINIA. TURIN, MOXDAT. The Sardinian Chambers were opened to-day. His Majesty entered the hall of the Senate amidst indescribable applause, and delivered the following speech : " 131021011 BEICATOW, fiiowoar "The last time I opened Parliament, amidst the troubles of Italy and the dangers of the state, faith in Divine justice encouraged me to augur well of our destiny. " In a very short time an invasion was repulsed. Lombardy was freed by glorious deeds of heroism, and Central Italy became free by the marvellous virtue of its inhabitants, and thus to-day the re presentatives of the rights and the hopes of the nation are assembled around me. "For such a benefit we are indebted to emag nanimous ally, to the valour of his and our soldiers, to the assistance of volunteers, and to the per severing concord of the people. We ascribe the merit of it to God, as without superhuman aid such memorable enterprises cannot tie accomplished. " The gratitude of present and future generations is due to France for the welfare of Italy, and for consolidating the union of the two nations, who have some community in origin, principle, and destiny. "It was necessary to make some sacrifice, and I have made that which was dearest to my heart. "Reserving the vote of the people and the ap probation of parliament, and reserving also in regard to Switaerhuid the guarantee of her inter national right, I have concluded a treaty for the reunion of Savoy and the surrounding territory of Nice with France. '• We have still many difficulties to overcome ; but assisted by public opinion and by the love of my people, I shall never permit any one to offend or forget any right or liberty. " Firm, like my ancestors, in the catholic reli gion, and in the respect due to the Supreme Chief of that religion, I shall (if the ecclesiastical autho rity makes use of spiritual arms for temporal inte rests) in safe conscience, and in the traditions of my worthy ancestors, find strength to maintain entire the civil liberty and authority for which I am only indebted to God and to my people. " The Provinces of the }Emilia have been ar ranged as in former times, but with Tuscany, who has her own laws and her own rules, a special tem poral provision was necessary. " The short time since and the rapidity of the event have impeded the preparation of the laws which are necessary to assist and strengthen the new estate. For the first period of legislation you will only have to discuss the most urgent mea sures ; and my Ministers will prepare with due deliberation the projects upon which you will have to deliberate for the second period. " Based on the statute of the country, the poli tical, military, and financial unity, and the uni formity of the civil and penal laws, the progressive administrative liberty of the provinces and com munes will renew in the Italian people that splendid and vigorous existence which at the time of another form of civilisation and of other territorial arrangements of Europe was the fruit of the muni cipal autonomy which is to-day opposed to the con stitution of strong states and to the genius of the nation. " SIGNORI SINATOW, SIONOILI DWOTATI, " In entering upon the new order of things, and without regarding the old political parties in any other way than remembering the services rendered to the common cause, we call for a noble co-operation and the expression of every sincere opinion in order to obtain our principal object— the welfare of the people and the greatness of the country—which is no more the Italy of the Romans, nor that of the middle ages : it must no more be left a field open for foreign ambition, but it must, on the contrary, be the Italy of the Italians." BERNF., Ana 2. In reply to the request addressed by Switzerland to the Powers who signed the treaty of Vienna, Russia, England, Austria, and Prussia have pro nounced themselves in favour of the immediate assembling of a congress. To avoid discussion, all the members of the Com mission of the Federal Assembly have adopted the proposals of the Federal Council. FRANCE.

In the Chamber of Deputies of the Grand Duchy of Baden, in the sitting of Friday laid, the motion proposed by the committee for the rejection of the Conoordat was, after an animated debate of two days, adopted by 45 votes to 15. CARLBRIIIIF, MONDAY. To-day, in an extraordinary sitting of the two Chambers, the government announced to the mem bers that the ministers Meyseuburg and Stengel had been dismissed, and that Messieurs Stabel and Lumley had been appointed their successors. This has given great satidaetion to the second chamber and to the public. It is believed that the new ministry will endeavour to bring about a liberal settlement of the relations between the church and state by legislative means. THE CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS.

A Marseilles telegram, dated this day, states that the Mediterranean squadron left Toulon on March 31 for "Italy." The lithographed correspondence says of the above news : To what point of the Mediterranean is the fleet going? Whether to Rome or to Naples its object must be to be ready for whatever events may happen, and I must say that the situation is sufficiently strained in the Two Sicilia; to afford ground to apprehend some grave complication in that quarter. If the Beet be going to Civita Vecchia, the move ment would probably signify the return of the army of Rome to Marseilles. We shall know in • few days the merits of these several conjectures, which, for want of anything better, were the theme of conversation at the Bourse. The Opinion Nationale, speaking of . the much vexed question of the withdrawal of the French army from Rome, says it learns from a good source that France has demanded and obtained from Sardinia an assurance that she will not thwart the " more than probable" entry of Neapolitan troops into the Papal States, will avoid all conflicts with them, and to use a well known figure, will not pass the Rubicon. This celebrated little river is now by a curious coincidence the boundary at Rimini between the King of Sardinia's enlarged kingdom, and the remnant of the dominions of the Holy See. Advioes from Vienna state that General de La moriciere passed several days in that city on his way to Italy, and had several interviews with the Papal Nuncio. The Constitutionnet, while declining to tell its readers whether the news of General de Lamori dere having accepted the command of the Papal forces is true or not, cites, for the purpose of dis crediting the general as a champion of the catholic church, several extracts from his speeches in 1849, when he was all for liberty, and voted with M. Ledru Rollin and the Mountain against the French arms being employed to prop up the anti-popular government of the Pope. It is, however, quite superfluous to produce evidence to prove that Gen. de Lamoriciere's opinions are not the same that they were twelve years ago. It is well known that, in consequence of misfortunes preying upon his mind, he has lately taken refuge from sorrow in priestcraft. The settlement in the Rents went off with more steadiness than might have been expected after the violent oscillations of last week. An immense quantity of stock has been taken up by the broker whose manoeuvres to screw up the market were so conspicuous, and ultimately so little successful. I am positively assured that on the day of the great fictitious rise this broker repeatedly offered to buy Rents at quotations several centimes higher than the current price, and that he was hissed by his brethren in the parquet. The balance of transac tions to-day was thought to be in favour of money, and the rate of " reports" was almost nominal. The Rents for account fluctuated between the extreme points of 69fr. 60e. and 139 fr. 20c., and closed at 69fr. 30c., with a rise of 16c. For cash there was a fall of bc., the last price being 69fr. 25c. Mobilier closed without change. There was not much business done in railways.

There was a good deal of inquiry for shares in the new "Docks" Company, the statutes of which will shortly be promulgated. I believe that the budget was presented to the Corps Legislatif this afternoon. As was anticipated, a surplua will be shown notwithstanding the deficit in the revenue to be anticipated from the customs reform, and it will be stated that government will have no occasion for a new loan.

THE OMER Or TO JUDOS POOKOTED BY ERE REV, BRYAN JUNO, RECTOR OF TIM P MISR OP SY, OLORGE - 111.1111-ZABT, AGAUREE NR. ROBERT RoNILN, • emusitionta. This was a suit in which the defendant was charge,' with brawling and interrupting, the semi,* of the church on the 14th of August last. be. Phillunore and Dr. Swabey appeared for the Rev. Bryan King, the promoter of the articles. Mr. Rosier, who was accompanied by several friends, occluded hi, own defence in person. The rev, rector was also present. Mr. Herbert, the chief constable of the wish, and Mr. Stephens, a vestryman, were among the auditory. Dr. l'hilliinore shortly stated the history of the case, reminding the learned judge that at a former stage he recapitulated in detail all the authorites which bore upon the use. If the evidence bore out the averments of the articles this would become one of the moat prominent cases of the kind on record. The use arose out of a system which had brought great sandal upon the church and had given rise to a series of riots which had not been surpassed in violence mince the time of Lord George Gordon. In fact, the conduct of the parties who had engaged in these riots, of whom the defendant was one, was most scandalous, and celled for the reprobation of all well-thinking people. The came was technically known to the ecclesiastical courts as one of brawling in a parish church, and he apprehended that if it was made out the court would visit it with the utmost severity. In September, 1842., the Rev. Bryan King I was instituted to the rectory of St. George's-in-the-East, a populous parish of a rather low character. It contained • population of 27,000 souls, there were 733 homes within its limits, of which ISt were brothels, and forty public-houses or beer-houses, and there could be no doubt that the duties of the living were at all timer difficult and heavy. The rector had esta blished two mission chapels in the parish, and a refuge for penitent women. The learned compel then proceeded to detail the facts of the case, as they were afterwards die. dosed is evidence, and concluded by stating that the de. fondant was responsible fur all the delay which had occurred in the case. Mr. Rosier said he had been under the impression that he was to be tried by a jury of his countrymen. The Judge informed him that there were no juries in this court. Thomas John Nash, bootrnaker, of No. 12, Helan•etreet, fn. George's.ind.he-Fist, WWI called and sworn. Mr. Rosier said he had reason to believe that an oath wan not binding on the witnesses about to be called. The eritneteee on both 4141 es were ordered oat of court. The witness then deposed that he was at the church on the 14th of August last. There was a good deal of excites ment and swiss, and in the comae of the service the Rev, Mr. Burn, who was officiating as cumin, fell down in a fit, He stood near to Mr. Rosier at the time, and heard him ay out, "God has struck him dead, and it is a just judgment upon him." The noise and excitement increased during the removal of Mr. Burn, and many of the congregation called out, "No popery," "Down with the jesuits," and made such like demonstrations against the service. Mr. Rosier—Are you a Roman catholic! Witness—No. Mr. Rosier—Do you belong to the Society of Jesuits! Witness—No. Yr. Racier—Do you consider the oath you have taken binding on your conscienoe ? Witmer—Perfectly. The witness was further cross-examined, but he adhered to all his former statement, and persisted in saying that Mr. Rosier was a ringleader in the riot. Captain Savage Hall deposed that he was formerly a cap. tam in the 7th Fusiliers, but sold out in 1838. He bad been in the habit of attending the parish church of St. Oeorge-in-the.Fiat, and he was present at the afternoon service on the 14th of August last. The Rev. Mr. Barn read the Litany, and at this time there was a great crowd in the middle aisle. Suddenly Mr. Burn fell down in a At, end there was an immediate rush of the crowd towards the reading desk. Mr. Rosier stood on his right hand, and be heard him soy, "It's • judg ment from Cod ups) him ; God has struck him dead." While Mr. Burn was being removed the crowd became very violent, 511111 shouted out "No popery !" "Down with old Small King!" The choristers were hustled and pushed about, and the service was brought to • close amidst • seen of disgraceful and blasphemous confusion. The church was closed from that time until the 6th of November. He attended the afternoon service on that day, and again Mr. Rosier was prevent. Mr. Rosier came up to him, and looking witness in the face, said in • loud and noisy tone, " This thing calls himself • captain. He is • greasy swell. He is a disgrace to the army. Where is your iunbiella I" A Mr. Blateliford was also present, and Mr. Rosier, addressing him, amid, "Thin fellow would swear anything. He war . going to swear that I spat upon him in Wellclose-square. Nothing was dune or said either by witness or Mr. Ratchford to provoke this insult and violence. Mr. Rosier—Where do you live? Witness—At No. 10, Carlisle•street, Soho. Mr. Rosier—Then you are not a parishioner? Witness—No. Mr. Rosier—Hon came you to be present, then, on the 14th ? *itneas—l was invited to go and dine at the rectory, but I was too late for dinner, and went to teu. Mr. Rosier—Did you go with a party to keep order in the church? _ _ Witness—l went to protect the rector from the violence of his parishioners. Mr. Rosier—Then you went to keep order. Did you challenge any one to fight! Witnese—No. Mx. Rosier—Did you not strike Nome oue ? Witness—Yes, I struck you. Mr. Rosier—Are you a R oom s catholic? Witness— I am not. Mr. Rosier—Do you belong to the Society of Jesuits or any guild? Witness—l do not think that is a proper question to ask. Dr. Phillimose—Answer the question. Witness—Well, then, I do not. Mr. Rosier—Do you consider the oath you have taken binding on your conscience when giving evidence against a protestant? Dr. Phillimore said that question should have been put before the oath was administered. Mr. Rader remarked that he took that course with the last witness, and then he was told it was too aoou. (To the witness)—Do you remember attending a protestant meeting in the parish, and drawing a knife upon one uf the speakers Witness—No, Ido not. I never did anything of the On further cross-examination, the witness entered into some details as to the conduct of the congregation, which, he repeated, was most disgraceful ; and Ito adhered to the evidence he pve at the Thames police-court respecting the assault W. Mr. Henry Rowley, of 44, Wellcloseaspeue, and school master of the pariah school, deposed to the violence of the congregation on the 14th of August. They drove the choir into the baptistery, and it was with some difficulty that they were protected from great violence. Mr. Rosier was Jeremiad among them. He could not swear to Mr. Rosier's voice, but the congrexa. tiou were demanding the destruction of the " puseyite windows." On cromexasnination, the witness repeated that he could not swear to Mr. Roaier's voice ; but as everyone to be shouting out, it mud have been singular if appeared lts e ler did not join in the noise. Mr. Henry Robert Bletchfonl, of Vietoria-place, Cam* bridge-road, confirmed the evidence of Capt. Savage Hall, and added that Mr. Rosier struck him iseveral times on the oixasion of the afternoon service of the Bth of November. He had done nothing to provoke the assault, nor had Captain Savage Ha ll . Witnem, in cross-exarninatioo, earl he would swear to the expresidons which Captain Hall had attributed to Mr. Roder. He could not say that they were used by Aol other person. He stood Clem by the side of Captain Hall and kept his eyes upon Mr. Roarer. Mr. Rosier had pre viously spat upon Inns near the Court-house, in Wellclose. Square. Dr. Phillimore said this was the case for the Rev. Bryan King, and at the proper time he shoubl submit that • greaser case of brawling hail never been Iwought before the court. Mr. Homier paid he had not sufficient abilities to address the court, hut he thought when the court heard his witnesses it would my that this was a case of undeserved persecution. The learned judge informed him that AA he heel merely raised a negative issue lie could only call witnesses to diac prove the facts. Mr. Ebenezer Beardwell said that On Sunday, the 14th of August, he was in the pew next the mailing desk. He heard a (person exclaim when Mr. Burn fell, " Hear the voice of God in this awl abstam from all such heredcx." He saw Captain Hall, who was excited, hut there wee nu riot. On crow-examination by Dr. Phillimore, the veitnees said there was a good deal of noise, but DO rioting. Whet he called a riot was when there wax a terrific noise. Ne doubt the coodnet of Some of the •coagregation was disgraceful, WI it did not amount to a riot. Mr. James Thomas Weed wax also in the church on the 14th of August. There was much excitement.
