' DISCUSSION IN THE SENATE.

The Turin journals contain a report of a discussion
in the Pledmontees Senate on the 10th, relative to
the treaty of peace. Ia reply to some objections,
Count Cavour said:

The chamber will understand that If the government had
received an °Stela reepciatte to the momoreadain It would
have hastened to cominsaioate the same to parliament. I
only request tire boacutrablelenttor to be snared tbit when
two greet powers manifest ea opinion, that opinion cannot
rest sterile ; ►ut they do not wish to reply officially smell
they have well weighed the effect of their words, and I be-
lieve it would be leoonvenient for us to press them ; it
would then seem that we here little confidence in Pesti-
meats expressed by our allies in so solemn and
frigidly a manlier. If effervescence exists in Italy,
the fault is not in my words, nor in the fact that
the subject of Italy vim considered by the plenipotentiaries.
The irritation would h.ve boon mach greater if the Con-
gress of Paris had separated without speaking of Italy, end
if the silence of the great Pdllollll had given a sort of sanc-
tion to the OM:401n extension of the Austrian power fa
Italy. Then the eseeperatioa would have been immense,
and but too easily have degenerated late despair. The die-
couions which have token place is the Congress have
proved to Italy thet the great Powers wish for the stneliora-
tion of its fate; they thus contribute to alley
irritation, end give patience to these who wafer. The con-
duct of the Sardinian plenipoteatiariee lee had the effect of
noderatiag, not pri,y,kittg, and cannot be termed either
rash or imprudent.

Alter these explanations the Senate, upon the
proposition of M. d'Azeglio, voted two orders of the
day ; the flest, fully approving of the conduct of the
government; and the second, thanking the army of
General La Marmara.
We reed in the Optaiow of May 11:

The diplomatie negotiations on the subjeet of the Italian
question have thrown the courts of Central and Southern
Italy into a state of alarm. The court of Parma has
already published an arks, fee its condact ; and
what as apolxgy I While the court of Tuscany
is consideriog what can be done by the sovereigns of Italy,
its miaisters are at loggerheads among themeless about •
proposed concordat with Items upon the model of that
wade with Austria. At Rome • diplomatic memorandum
is in preparations, having for its oSpot to prrre that the
states of the church are better governed than lay other
country in the world. At Naples, it is pretended
that liberal laws, • comprehensive amnesty, any,
even oonstitati nu, are stout to be promulgated.
What • entrust between all these miserable intri-
gues and the magnificent spectacle of the Piedmont's,
parliament unanimously votiag solemn thanks to the army,
the fleet, and the generals of the eastern expedition ! Os
the occasion of the anniversary fete of the proclamation of
the riongitution, the population will celebrate the bravery
of the army which, while °penis' • more prosperous path
for oar peninsula, has enriched the military history of the
Italian people with sew laurels.
