THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT.

TCRIN, Nov. 7.

The Bureaux of the Chamber of Deputies are
occupied with the financial bills introduced by
Minister Sella. Five Bureaux have elected com-
missioners. The instructions received by the latter
are to grant to the ministry the means of meeting
the engagements of the Treasury, but at the same
time to pay regard to the imposNibility for the
country to pay the whole of the land tax for 1865
in advance.

General La Marmora has to-day addressed a note
to Cavalier di Nigra, Italian ambassador at Paris,
in consequence of the publication of the despatches
of M. Drouyn de Lhuys in the Moniteur. General
La Marmora states that the publication of the note
of M. Drouyn de Lhuys of the 30th October be-
came necessary by reason of the frank explanations
of the King's government. The present ministry,
he says, accepted the Convention of the 15th Sep-1
tember because its clear and precise text,
could not give rise to any doubt, and be-
cause they thought that taken literally
it was advantageous to Italy. The ministry, there-
fore, desire this Convention, and will execute it
scrupulously and entirely, because the engagements
of the government must be kept, because we have
ties of friendship and gratitude towards France,
and, further, because every member of the ministry
believes that this is the best policy for Italy. The
convention is founded on the principle of non-
intervention. The government of the King engages
itself to interpret the convention only in a meaning
corresponding with the natural sense of the treaty,
and thinks it their duty absolutely to reserve all
other questions but that of the faithful observance
of the treaty.

After these distinct statements it will suffice to I
briefly allude to the observations made by M.
Drouyn de ',buys. The Convention provides by
positive assurances fur the exigencies and stipula-
tions of the Papacy with regard to France and the
catholic world. The government repels even the
thought of ever having recourse to secret dealings,
which it regrets to have seen mentioned by ➢I.
Drouyn de Lhuys, but it has entire confidence in
the action of civilization and progress. Both
powers can have their own opinion upon the conse-
quences of this act, but this cannot be the subject
of practical discussion from the moment that Italy
affirms that if her tendencies are to be realised it
shall never be by the violation of the treaty.
Whatever may be the national aspirations indepen-
dently of the question of a strict ex.-cution of the
treaty, this is a ground on which the King's go-
vernment cannot place itself. The aspirations of a
people belong to its national conscience, and cannot
form the subject of au international discussion. Re-
conciliation between Italy and the Papacy has
always been au object of the government, mil the
convention will help to attain it. As regards the
meaning of the transfer of the capital facts will speak
for themselves.

The execution of this condition is being prepared,
and in a few months (saving the ratification by the
parliament) Florence will be the capital of Italy.
Ulterior events cannot be discussed between the
two governments. It is for events to solve the
problem. The difference between the scheme of
Count Cavour and the convention is clear. Italy
deems her honour concerned in continuing the
policy of Count Cavour. M. Drouyn de Lbuys
having taken the initiative in mentioning the possi-
bility of a spontaneous revolution in Rome, and of
the fall of the temporal power, Italy reserves, as
France does, her liberty of action for such a case.
The ministry comes before the parliament with
these views and these convictions. They think that
the convention opens to both governments a path
clearly traced out in which the King's government
hopes it may reckon on the support of the repre-
sentatives of the nation in order to emulate
France in loyalty.
To-day in the Chamber of Deputies some ex-
planations were exchanged between Signori Min-
and Sella relative to the financial statement.
Signor Ferraris spoke upon the previous question of
the hill for the transfer of the capital, maintaining
the necessity for a special bill for the approval of
the convention, which would imply a territorial
change in the State and a charge upon the finances.
Several other members also spoke ou this
question.

Signor Boggio commended the ministry for
their note despatched today to Cavalier di Nigra.
He thought he saw some disagreement in the inter-
pretation of the different notes, and moved the
t,uspeusion of the debate upon the Convention
until consonance had been restored between them.

Signor Ferraris supported the motion, and re-
quested the ministry to state whether the French
government accepted General La Marmura's inter-
pretation of the national right.
General La Blarmora rejected the eulogy of
Signor Boggio, who, having confounded notes and
dates, had formed a hasty judgment and departed
from the truth. The Minister positively confirmed
Cavalier di Nigra's note of the loth September,
and recommended the Chamber to form a calm
decision, carefully and dispassionately weighing the
question. He stated that after the publication of the
despatch of M. Drouyn de Lhuys, it was considered
necessary to publish his note of today.
Signor Boggio subsequently stated that he did
not press for a suspension of the debate on the Con-
veution.

THE CONGRESS SCHEME.
VIENNA, Nor. 7.

The nottrreichi3clic Zitu rui of this evening says
"The scheme of a congress is again bang discussed,
and confidential interviews on the subject have
taken place between the representatives of some
courts. The King of the Belgians takes au interest
in the success of the scheme. The principal diffi-
culty is the position of Austria iu the Italian ques-
tion. Hopes are however entertained that the
basis of a compromise may be settled, and that
neither Rome nor Venetia will be discussed. The
entry of Sleswig into the German Confederation
would be one of the questions to be treated by the
congress."

DENMARK.
COPENHAGEN, Nov. 7.
The Rigsraad held three sittings to-day with
closed doors.

The brat public sitting will probably be held to-
morrow. It is expected that the treaty of peace
will be approved.
