TURIN, May 29.

In the Chamber of Deputies, after the adoption
of the treaty of cession, Signor Ratazzi rose to
demand explanations of Count Cavour, who, in
reply, expressed his regret at having been com-
pelled to say very delicate things, but the respon-
sibility attached to his remarks upon the question
must rest with Signor Ratazzi. Count Cavour
further said, we have no guarantees from France
in favour of the annexed provinces of Italy, as we
have not asked for any. We have considered the
declarations of France that she would ensure a
policy of non-intervention on the part of the
Foreign Powers to be sufficient. France has not
exercised the least pressure respecting the auto-
nomy of Tuscany. She has limited herself to
simple non-official diplomatic conversations, in
which we have declared that the autonomy of
Tuscany must disappear. To this France has not
made the least objection.
The following is a summary of Signor Ratazzi's
speech in the Chamber of Deputies :—Signor
;Ratazzi said that he inust.again demand whether
' it was not owing to the counsels of France that
the autonomy of Tuscany had been granted.

Relative to the treaty, he said also, I am a parti-
san of the French alliance, but to make this
alliance the cession of Savoy sufficed. At the
same time, I believe that the cession of two pro-
vinces, instead of strengthening the alliance and
causing the Emperor to guarantee to us the
annexation of Central Italy, will have a contrary
result or none at all. Signor Ratazzi concluded
by saying, we may be asked, at a future time, to
make fresh territorial sacrifices, and it is to pro-
test against such a system that I abstain from
votirg.

TURIN, May 29, 6.30 p.m.
