TURIN, MAT U.

The importance of the present moment is so
pea, t►at I regard it as a duty not to allow a day
is pass without writing to you. AA you know, the
treaty for the cession of Savoy and the county of
Ilia ►as been now submitted to parliament for its
sanction, and p►rliament finding that uexamity is
hew, will not withhold its ratification ; of course,
the opposition will make an outcry, and there will
be several adverse vote& This state of things was
predicted by Count Cavour to the Baron de Talley-
rand, the French minister here, ill a diplomatic
meiversation they had together on the subject of
Garibaldi's expedition. The Count spoke to him,
M I have been correctly informed, pretty much as
follows :—" Monsieur le Baron, you are intimately
acquainted with this country, you knew it before
the war, and have known it since the peace

and since my return to ik You know how great
ay popularity was on receiving book the portfolio,

siest of M. Parini Well, confess if lam not now,
sifter all this, less popular and strong than before.
You are too clear-sighted not to have perceived it,
mad detected the reason. I have become weakened
ia the eyes of Italy becalms I have endeavoured to
please you, and show myself grateful to the Em-
peror, to France. I should have been resigned had
I alone been weakened, but the halo round the
bead of my august sovereign has also paled. But
we do not complain, or eveu regret what we have

I ask you, M. le Baron, if at this tuotneut it can be
/rationally or reasonably expected that we should

the King of Naples, who, hi common
with the Pop., is persecuting this sentiment.
Gan we treat harshly a man like Garibaldi, whom
we have, au to &ay, deprived of his native city, a
man who represents Italy's strong desire of eman-

Let us not give way to illusion : this emancipation
must come either from above or below. If you
sailer the high and the low to coalesce for this end,
we shall avoid revolutionary demurs ; if you do

Our city was crowded this morning with Lom-

Tarawa, who have all mine hem to enjoy the
three festive days commemorative of the twelfth

ceremony was auleum, and the Kind was received
with great cheering both un proceeding to church
and on reeioviing the regn!are and national guard.
The herrtlitary prince, at the heal of the finit legion

HUNGARY.

/*MTH, May 10.
It is now generally known that the seven Hun-
-110111116 recently appointed by the Etuperor mem-
bers for the newly-organised Council of State have
refusal to accept their nomination—a result which
took no one by surprise bore, but which oared
great disappointment at Vienna. So little had
people there, in official quarter% been prepared for
a negative in the present instance that it was
thouht gratuitous to ensure the previous consent
of the nominees, One of my friends chsased to
be present when Baron &Avila, with a lively
expres,ion of dismay and amazement, learnt
his appointment from the official ri,11114 04-
sett. Austrian statesmen, however long they
may he misusing the resource+ of our country, will
neve,- irt a eear insight into the wants, or a just
appresw.ion of the rights of its inhabitants.
Though it was obvious to every Hungarian thee
the fin;crial behests of the 19th of April -
fallen short of even the most moderate of ou
mend% tiro wiseacres in power did not or would not
know it.

An Engli.lonan who lately was introduced into
our of our enit'elential circles, where the opinion was
expressed that the cabinet of Vienna could not
nave the present difficulty, even if it would, milked,
s. Why, then, does Baron Eaves and hie friends
try the experiment r The answer was, " Kotves
and the others are well-meaning patriots ; they
take the trouble to go to Vienna, to get what they
themselves hardly believe call be , got there, but
they bad better let twitters alone.' If the press
were not completely gagged, if every free manifesta-
tion of oinion were nut eagerly watched by epics
and checked by policemen and gendarmes, it would
awn become manifest that the view of the great
majority of the nation was expressed in that
simple reply given to the inquiring Kngliah-
man. Yet sometime+ in spite of police and
gendarmes the genuine popular feeling will find
its expression in some occasional ontburst. So it
happened on the day of the Requiem for Ssichilnyi
in this city. After the funeral masa was over, a
multitude of at !mat ten thousand people crovnled
bef,.re the hotel where the two sous of the deceased

on that mcision. t seemed as if the inhabitants
of the metropolis of H coining from their
pray-ni for the dead Sua=yi, wished to remind
hi. surviving sons that Kossuth is Mill alive, the
Wan who never despaired when all despaired.
The people of Perth had knit shown, by
an act of religion, how sacred they held
the memory of Kiichstuyi, hut remember-
ing Kissuth at that mine moment, expressed that
they did nut share in the Oliosyneracy of the
"gnstest Hungarian," which wade him often
