Lord PALMERSTON, in reply, sail the Hon. Gentleman must be aware that the mission of Lord Minto to the Court of Rome was entirely divested of any diplomatic character.—(Laughter.) He carried with him, however, credentials to the powers of Sardinia, Florence, and Naples. his inis• sion, however, being divested of a diplomatic character, ('id not place him in a position tck be enabled to lay any correspondence that had talon place before the House.—(Renewed laughter.) ITALY. Dr. BOWRING then rose to move for copies or extracts of the correspondence on the subject of the Commercial League of Italy. Italy, notwithstand ing all her former grandeur, her learning, her high position in the scale of nations, and the universality of her language, continued even now to justify the words, of the poet— " Conquering and conquered, still to be a slave." The Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs had done justice to that admirable man who was placed at the head of the Pontifical Government. His advent to that Government had been a blessing to Italy. He had exercised all his influence for the purpose of removing some of the causes of complaint among the _and he hoped that the Pontiff, assisted the other Powers, would be enabled to re4l, ;4 easily the large amount of grievances so much needed to be removed, not only in Rome but in Naples. He did not wish this country to interfere in the internal concerns of other countries, but that desire not to interfere was not at all incompatible with the expression of the fullest sympathy on the part of this country with the op pressed against the oppressors. The free-trade movement of Tuscany seemed also to be fraught with good to the Italian peninsula. It was a favourable thing that Rome had been enabled so to control the Italian mind, as to obtain from them some security that those principles would not be lost, but that it would f nally end in a representative system of government. —(Hear, hear.) But the influence ,of Pius IX. would pass away no doubt with his life, and it was the interest of this country to establish upon a permanent basis the constitutions of the different portions of Italy. In the free•trade movement of Italy, Sardinia occu pied about the same position as Prussia did among tl e Zollvf rein, and he bad no doubt that the constitution recently establised there would prove acceptable to the people. Toscana' had always been a place of considerable interest, its influence was widely spread • she had established the largest portions of the illustrations of Italian literature. Of Naples he felt bound to speak with some degree of apprehension ; but be bad no doubt that the seed sown there would eventually bring . forth fruit, and the King of Naples, warned by what he saw going on around him, would, he had no doubt, finally unite with the other portions of Italy. With respect to Sicily it must be remem bered that although some blood had been shed still this country was the first to awaken in the bosom of the Sicilians the love of freedom.—(Hear, hear.) The name of Lord William Bentinck was spoken of by the Sicilians with the most perfect rever ence, and there was not a Sicilian bosom which did not heave with anticipation at the time when the Sicilian people should be consulted on the subject of Sicilian laws. The idea of a commercial league in Italy was a most happy thought. With the national feeling of Italy there was also united a con siderable amount of local feeling. The feeling of the Sicilians was very distinct from the Tuscans, and the Tuscans from both the Romans and the Lombards. It would be wise still to cherish these local feelings. The idea of one united king dom in Italy was a perfect chimera, and a dream which couki be indulged in by no persons who had really studied the position and feelings of the inhabitants of the various states of Italy, The example of Germany should be made the groundwork of their future commercial regulations, and then he had no doubt the commercial glory of Italy would again return. -Genoa, Leghorn, and Venice, those great marts of corns coerce would again see a return of those days of splendour with which their remoter history was as sociated. He was not aware whether his Noble Friend would at present find himself in a condition to make any communication to the House on the subject, but of this he was convinced, that the matter might be safely left in the hands of the Noble Lord; and therefore, without detaining the House further, he begged leave to move the motion of which he had given notice. Viscount PALMERSTON said that his Hon. Friend had called the attention of the House to some of the most remarkable and interesting events which had oc curred in our time.—(Hear, hear.) It was, indeed, im possible for any man to witness the progress which con stitational opinions and institutions were making in Italy without feeling the deepest and liveliest interest in that progress.-=-(Hear, hear.) Italy was not only interesting in a very high degree from her peculiar posi tion at the present moment, but she was interesting to us, perhaps even still more, from our cherished and ele vating associations with her wondrous story, with ber rise, her greatness as mistress of the world, and her fall to almost entire political insignificance—aninsignificanco from which he fervently hoped she was now about to emancipate herself.—(hear, hear.) Nor did he merely hope; he felt confident that a brighter day was now dawning on Italy.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") The confidence with which we might look to the future prosperity of that country was founded on the gilts which nature had bestowed both on the land and on its inhabitants. Amid all the political misfortunes to which the country had been subjected, the natural vigour of the Italian mind, the extent of its intellectual re sources, and, he might say, the splendour of its genius, had, even in the darkest periods of the political history of the Italians, shone forth with a brightness which bad attracted the admiration of the whole civilised world. It was most gratifying to see that the progress which national liberty was making throughout Italy was a pro gress brought about by th e harmonious accord of the sovereigns and people of Italy—(Hear, hear)—and it was on that circumstance more especially that he ventured to found his hope that the ameliorations now proceeding there would be permanent and stable, for, based upon mutual compact, they were naturally less likely to be shaken by future untoward events. The Hon. Member had adverted to the position of Austria in relation to the events now passing in the Italian peninsula. It was highly satisfactory to him, and he was sure it would be no less gratifying to the House, that he was able to state, that si far as her Majesty's Government was informed of the intentions of the Cabinet of Vienna, there was no reason to apprehend that the policy of that Cabinet would lead it to any hostile interference with the events which were now taking place in Italy —(Cheers.) He had, indeed, within the lest twenty-four hours, received a communi cation from our Ambassador at Vienna, which gave very satisfactory assurances on this head.—(Renewedcheera.) The course thus indicated was the course naturally to be expected from the prudence and wisdom of the Austrian Government; and most happy was he to find such a course adopted.—(Hear.) With reference to the com mercial league of Italy, he should wish his Hon. Friend and the House to defer asking for the correspondence on this subject until a more expedient occasion. --(Hear, hear.) The general principles of that league only were at present laid down on a broad basis, the details re mained to be fixed ; and he felt convinced that it would only retard the progress of events to produce before the House the various communications confidentially ex changed between the various Courts of Italy and our Ministers there, as to the various suggestions and propo sitions made on the subject.— (Hear, hear.) He could assure the House that the general principle which seemed to actuate all parties was in the highest degree favour able to the promotion of the commercial prosperity of Italy on one uniform basis ; and he would add, that so far as it became the Government and this country to tender advice, or to express an opinion, the advice was offered in a spirit of earnest desire to aid in the develop ment of that prosperity.—(Hear, hear.) As to the political changes proceeding in Italy, whatever the feel ings of her Majesty's Government on the subject, with whatever gratification they witnessed the cause of those political events—(Hear, hear)—they did not consider it fitting that the British Ministers in the Peninsula should interfere further than the giving an opinion when it should be sought by the various Go vernments.—(Hear, hear.) And here let him say it was most gratifying to her Majesty's Government to witness the perfect confidence with which England was regarded by the various Italian potentates—(Hear, hear) —to a marked instance of which he would state that his Noble Friend, Lord Minto, had proceeded from Rome to Naples in consequence of the desire expressed by the Sicilians on the one hand, and by the Goverment of Na ples on the other, that the friendly assistance of British diplomacy should be applied towards the satisfactory settlement of the points in dispute between them (Hear, hear.) He was sure that those who were ac quainted with Lord Minto would feel that this task, delicate, and difficult as it might be, could not have been placed in better hands—(Hear, hear)—and that in any advice which, at the solicitation of the parties, he might think himself at liberty to offer, he would be actuated by the most disinterested but earnest desire to bring matters to such an adjustment as should be consistent with the liberty, happiness, and welfare of the people, and the just dignity and honour of the Crown.—(Hear.) After a few words from Mr. COCHRANE, expressive of his approbation of the conduct pursued by her Dda' jesty's Government in reference to Italy. Dr. BO WRING consented to withdraw his motion, and it was accordingly withdrawn. NATIONAL LAND COMPANY. Mr. F. O'CONNOI said the Attorney-General having requested him to postpone his motion respecting the National Land Company, in order to allow him time to consider the proposed Bill, he would accordingly past" pone it until that day fortnight. Sir G. GREY was not aware that the Attorney - General had requested this postponement; but, at 411 , events, lie begged it to be understood that the reque.ss implied no assent on the part of the Government to We proposed measure.
