who attacked Mr. Pugh, and observing that they had
better leave him alone, as he was an Englishman, the
reply was, "we know it, he is • republican." How well
the lesson has been instilled, and how well learnt! The
words, "as he is an Englishman," however, show what is
the sense of the protection which is accorded to us by our
government, and in fact, we are the only people who arc
respected and protected, thanks to Lord Palmerston Do
not French.residents in Naples confess and lament it? As
regards the excesses of the soldiery, many of whom I met so
late as 7 o'clock the other evening on the Strada Nuova,
half-drunk, and many of whom I frequently see drunk in
the streets, I am persuaded that if so rigid a disciplinarian
as our governor knew the Gets, he svon!tl correct them.

PIEDMONT.

In the sitting of the 12th of the Chamber of
Deputies of Turin, the order of the day being the
discussion of the budget of foreign affairs, Marquis
d'Azeglio, the minister of that department, delivered
a speech which is remarkable for the constitutional
maxims it contains. We subjoin the following ex-
, tracts:—

Gentlemen, a political conduct founded upon justice and
good faith has always been the best, and will continue to be
the mast useful. Much has been said of late on state ex-
pediency ; for my part I do not believe those two different
standards of morality, one fur the men who govern, and one
fur those who are governed, and I do not think state expe-
diency should deviate from common morality. Absolutism
and the policy of had faith have had their time. They were
in vigour when public affairs were managed by a King and
a few ministers, and often by a favourite or a mistress. But
at that time the periodical press was weak, the means of com-
munication rare, and public opinion without power. But
now, if l hut touch public opinion, it vibrates instantly
front Edinburgh to Moscow with the rapidity of lightning.
I cannot deny that there is a terrible and obscure problem
to be solved, the future destiny of society ! I do not pre-
tend to solve it, but I affirm on my conscience that society
tan only find repose under a government of good faith. I
say it is our duty to sacrifice an immediate advantage in
order to attain the more important advantages attached to a
reputation of purity and honesty. This has been our prin-
cipal guide, both in domestic and foreign policy. Remem-
ber that when we accepted office the country, shaken by a
reeent misfortune, uncertain as to what might still in
reserve for it, agitated by parties, suspecting everyone, could
only be pacified by confidence and concord. The ministry
sought to deserve the former, and to train the minds of men
to the latter. If it has succeeded, it owes it first to God and
then to the probity of the King, to the prudence of parlia-
ment, to the virtues of the whole nation, because Piedmont
is an old land of probity and honour. As we have acted with
j respect to our home policy, so we have in our foreign rela-
tions. The first principle of justice is the independence, the
honour, and the dignity of the nation. Europe, which for some
time laboured under an erroneous impression concerning
us, has seen by the line we follow that we were not a people
of anarchists, but a people desirous of liberty and indepen-
dence. And now it is universally known that, while we do
not seek what belongs to others, we arc ready to die rather
than give up what is ours. Lord Chesterfield once wrote to
his son, " When you arrive in a capital, frequent the Pied-
rnontisse diplomatists, for they are always men of great
merit." 1% c wish to justify this flattering testimony, and
we will strive to maintain in our diplomacy these traditions
of honour and loyalty. Gentlemen, there are persons who
hare accused us of hiving done little or nothing. I answer,
that, within the limits of our means, we have done what
was in our power for the good of the country. We have
lived, and that is something ; and, please God, we shall
continue to live, free, indeprudent, and honoured."
This speech was received with loud applause by
the Chamber, and the discussion of the articles was
proceeded with. Some members having proposed a
reduction in the secret funds, the Chamber rejected
it, and voted the whole sum, as a proof of its confi-
dence in the ministry.
