Turin, on the 21st, the Minister of the Interior
laid before it several diplomatic communications from

,of France, to aid is the establishment of the inde-
pendence of Italy, even by
.arms, if the negotiations
should fail. The following phrase appears in a

reverses of the Italian army, so nobly sustained, we
felt regret that such a noble national suiceptibility on
your part should have prevented yon from calling
upon us sooner."
