THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 21, 1860.

Reform Bill of 1832, of which Lords DERBY and
Cur were supporters, there were indeed double
that number whose constituencies were so aug-
mented, yet the country has not been perceptibly
injured thereby ; the Church and the Crown are
las firmly established as ever ; and the domineering
' monopoly of the privileged orders contrives every
year to exact larger sums for its own proper benefit
out of the pockets of the people. But, we repeat
it, as a matter of fact it is not true that thirty-
four towns, or anything like that number, will
have their future electors increased by the Bill of
1860 as Lord Deasy would have it believed. But
suppose for a moment it were so : what
possible ground is there for thence inferring that
the predominant power of taxation in the United
Kingdom would thereby pass into the hands of
the poor or ignorant 1 It is not proposed to re-
duce the number of members in the House of
Commons. Of that number more than one clear
third will still be returned by the counties; and Lord
JOHN Rumseu.'s Bill is identical as regards these
with that of Mr. DIMRAILI last year. Will the
newly-returned members for the thirty-four ter-
rible towns be able to swamp by their votes the
two hundred and fifty knights of the shire 1 And
as for intelligence, Lord Deasy no doubt believes
that not a man so returned would be able to stand
in debate before the dullest of his NIWDZOATIB.
But when we turn to the residue of the represen-
tation the cue becomes still more preposterous.
Confessedly, there are more than a hundred cities
and boroughs, many of them of the greatest im-
portance, whose constituencies will not be in-
creased five-and-twenty per cent., and many of
which return two members each : how are these
to be swamped by the men of the terrible
thirty-four ? Finally, there are some seventy
or eighty rotten boroughs, every one of which
is, sre aro sorry to say, to be allowed
to retain the nominal privilege of sending a mem-
ber to Parliament. Two-thirds of the members
so sent, as Lords Drs and GREY well know, are
the mere nominees of members of the House of
Peers ; and however the rest find their way to St.
Stephen's, it is notorious that they are in nowise
indebted to popular influence of any kind or
description, and that their weight in divisions is not
invariably found to be thrown into the anti-Radical
scale. How aro all these to be neutralised, silenced,
and swamped by the imaginary band of subver-
sionista whom Lord Deasy has conjured up T But
there is a simple and ready answer, if serious
answer be really due, to the Tory argument against
large constituencies. Let the Opposition agree
to give every large town three members
as every large county has three ; and
then let them propose a division, dividing
each of such towns into three wards, as Mr. Cos-
imi has wisely suggested. The effect of this would
be in nine cases out of ten to secure to the pro-
pertied classes a predominant voice in the return
of one member at least out of three ; and consi-
dering the overwhelming preponderance which they
already possess in counties and other towns, we
hardly think that even Lord DERBY would have
the face to pretend that any old lady of his party
need ho awake whimpering about the danger to
the good old system of pension and privilege and
perquisite, high taxes and waste of expenditure,
from the impending Bill. But of one thing Lord
DERBY may be assured, and that is, that the lan-
guage which he and his new ally in political apo-
stasy have thought fit to hold will sink deep into the
hearts of the long forbearing thousands ; and that
if his words have but time to germinate and grow
they s ill produce manifestations of feeling against
hereditary usurpation and lordly insolence
which these blind leaders of the blind will one day
bitterly regret The best thing that can now
happen for Toryism is the speedy passing of the
Reform Bill, to the success of which the Govern-
ment committed itself anew and unreservedly
last night.

SWITZERLAND AND SAVOY.
GENEVA, SATIIILDAT, Aram 21.
The four presidenta of the committees for the
annexation of northern Savoy to Switzerland have
protested against the voting which is to take
place to-morrow in Savoy. Their protest con-
cludes thus :—" We submit to the law
of the strongest. We are not vanquished :we are
victims." The liberal party of Chambery publishes
a declaration recommending the electors to abstain
from voting. This declaration says :—" Between the
kingdom which rejects, and the empire which takes
possession of our country, the Liberal party in Savoy
is incorruptible ; neither will it abdicate, but will
preserve, intact, the principle of liberty of action,
and will abstain from voting."

A letter from Berne of the 18th says :—" A
number of Bernese officers have held a meeting
and have unanimously adopted an address to the
federal government on the Savoy question. It is
conceived in energetic terms, but does not specify
the resolutions they think ought to be adopted.
The Central Committee of the Political Association,
the Helvetia, has also held a meeting at Oiten, in
the canton of Soleure, and has resolved to present
an address to the Federal Council, praying it on
the one hand to proceed immediately to the mili-
tary occupation of the neutralised territory of
Savoy, and on the other to convoke the Chambers
in extraordinary session. It has besides resolved
to submit to the Swiss people a document exposing
the present situation, and to summon a great
popular meeting. It is, however, doubtful that
this sort of pressure will cause the government to
abandon the line of conduct it has adopted, and
which is to confine itself within the sphere of nego-
tiations."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, FRIDAY Ev7...rnio.

Baron Gros, whose departure for China was pre-
maturely announced by the French journals some
time ago, will now, it is said, positively leave Mar-
seilles on April 28, by the Peninsular and
Oriental Company's boat Panther. It was given
out some time since that the mission of the baron
was to patch up the French differences with China
on any terms; but the French government organs
are now instructed to contradict this version, and
to say that France will insist upon the full satis-
faction already demanded by General Montauban.
Although Lord John Russell's answer to Mr.
Horsman on the subject of Savoy and Switzerland
was regarded at the Bourse as satisfactory, there
has been no rise. It is very remarkable that the
Rente should remain at this moment nearly a
I per cent. lower still than a point to which it was
brought by the j per cent. fall occasioned by the
appearance of the now energetically repudiated
pamphlet, " The Coalition." The last prices to-day
were 70fr. Sc., both for cash and account, the fall
for account being 15c. Mobilier fell Mr. Railways
were better supported than the Rente, and rose
from lir. 25c. to 2fr. 50c.

One of the most eminent and influential partisans
of free trade in France, M. Duffourq-Dubergier,
has just died at Bordeaux, where he was the head
of an old and respectable home. He was for ten
years mayor of the city. As long ago as 1844, he
worked with M. Michel Chevalier in favour of free
trade principles, but the revolution of 1848
checked the agitation which he had organised on a
grand scale to awaken the mercantile community
to a sense of their true interests. Subsequently,
as president of the Bordeaux Chamber of Com-
merce, M. Duffourq-Dubergier neglected no oppor-
tunity to press his convictions upon the attention
of the guveninient. He was an intimate friend of
Mr. Cobden.

The Emperor has granted a free pardon to Ablx;
Sisson, the editor of the Ami de la Religion, who
was some time since sentenced to three months'
imprisonment for having published, though not
with bad faith, a letter falsely attributed to Victor
Emmanuel. Several cases of the remission
of sentences pronounced a few weeks since
for political offences committed by the clergy,
or their immediate supporters, have led to the
impression that the Emperor is at this moment a
shade more conciliatory towards Rome than he
was. Ido not think, however, that any inference
of the kind can be legitimately drawn from the
present instance of imperial clemency. It was
never from the first supposod that a priest would
really be consigned to prison bemuse a journal for
which he was legally responsible had inadvertently
circulated a current canard.

At a recent review at Nimes the in pecting
officer, General de Casubiaine, was thrown hum he
horse, which reared and fell upon him ; a cerebral
congestion ennuel, which it in feared will be fatal.

THE POPE AND THE KING OF SARDINIA.

The following correspondence between the Pope
awl the King of Sardinia, Cardinal Antouolli and
Count Cavour, has just been published :

KING V.l TOR EMIL% HEEL TO THF POP►..

Most Holy Father,—By your autograph letter of the 3rd
of Detsiniber last your holiness engages one w maiutaiu at
the Congress the rights of the Holy Hue.
I ought before all to thank your leilitiew for the senti-
ment■ that have counselled you to address me in this cir-
cumstance. I should out have failed doing so before now,
had the I ',ingress flirt WI had bete resolved upou. I have
Levu waiting unt it the nieetiag of the pleuiptitentiaries should
have been definitively deckled ou in order to aunwer you in
a more regular manner, ou the grime subject discussed in
the letter, which you did me the honour of addressiug to me.
Your Ho[Mew, in invoking Inv co-operation fur the reco-
very of the Legation., seems willing to make me responsible
for all that has happened in that part of Italy. Before
accepting no severe a censure, I respectfully solicit your
Holiness to be so good as to examine the followiug facts
and considerations.

A devoted son of the church, the descendant of a most
' pious race, as your Holiness well knows, I have always
entertained sentiments of sincere attachment, veneration,
and respect for Holy Church and her august chief. It
never has been neither is It my intention to fail in my duties
as a catholic prince, or to diminish, in PO far as it depends
on me, the rights and authority exercised be the Holy See
on earth by virtue of the divine COI littollhiOn prom Heaven.
But I also have sacred duties to fulfil towards 014 and
men, my country and the peoples, whom Divine Providence
has confided to my government I have always endeavoured
to reconcile the duties of a catholic prince with those of an
independent sovereign over a free and civilised nation, both
in the internal administration of my stales and in the
management of foreign policy.
For very many years Italy has been agitated by events,
which concur, all of them, tor/anis the recovery of her in-
dependence. These events were already co-opetatasi in by
my illustrious father, who obeying the repulse given from
the Vatican, and taking for his device the memorable no tto
of Giulio 11. strove to deliver our country from foreign
&mini. on. When dying he bequeath.' to me til is sacred enter-
prise. In accepting it I did not believe I I.IIIIIIOV ittti us front the
divine will, which certainly cannot miirovo that peoples
should Is• tin to l into °pp...vs and oppn said. As an
Italian prince I wished to deliver Italy, and to that end I
considered it a duty to accept for the national vr.kr the co-
operati .... of all the peoples of the Peninsula. The legatiowi,
oppressed for a number of years by foreign soldiers, men as
neon as the latter retreated. They at the mime time offered
to me to their participttion in the war and the dictatorship.
Having done nothing to provoke the insurrection, I refused
the dictatorship out of respect to the Holy Tire, but I ac-
cepted their ,isaistanie in the war of independence, because
that Is a sacred duty for every Italian.

When the wur ended my got erunient renounced all inter-
ference ill the Whine of the legations. Awl when the
preeenee ul All limbo:ions general aught have ettibmgered the
fate of the proviner« ovvopioll by the troop. 8.1 your Holi-
ness, I employed my iIItitICUCC in removing him from those
districts.

The populations, left entirely free, with all external
influence removal twin them, end even contrary to the
advice of the leant powerful anal generous friend that Italy
has ever had, thou demented their annexation to my
kingdom with an admimlilo spontaneity and unanimity.
Those witlac, were net listened to; and vet these popula-
tions, who recently were giving such minutest signs of die-
conteut with the court of Home, and inspiring the latter
with eontiasual appr.liensions, have governed thereselven
in the most prialoworthy manner. They have provided
for the public interests, the safety of the person, the
maintenance of tnusquillity, the protection of seligion, it
is au authenticated fact, which 1 have token care to verify,
that In the legations the ministers of worship are at this
moment respected and protected—the temples of God more
frequented than they were previously.
He that as it may, it in a genenal conviction that the
government of your Holiness PM no longer recover those
previews without the employment of arms and of foreign
area.

Your Holiness cannot desSr! that your generous heart,
your evangelical rharity, will refuse to shed Christian blood
for the nssivery of i. province which, with whatever remit
of war, would AlSV:l,lrennsiu inomllv bait to the goverunieut
of the church. The interest of religion does not demand
that.

Tim time is favourable. It does not pertain to me, a de-
voted son of your Holiness, to point out to you the surest
means of giving rest again to ourcouintryrush reosts.blishing
on solid foundations the prestige and authority of the Holy
See in Italy. Nevortlieless, I deem myself obliged to statm
and submit to your Holiness an idea, of the truth of which
lam entirely convinced. This idea is as follows :—" if
your Holiness, taking into consideration the neceuities of
the times, the growing strength of the principle of national-
ities, the irresistible impulse urging en the pooples of Italy
to unite and organist: themselves in conformity with the
rules sulopted by all civilised petition, if you thought you
might claim my hunk and loyal oropenition, there would
be the moans of establishing not only in the Rumagnas,
lint also in the Marches and in Umbria, a state of
things which, while preserving to the church its mu.
prenie power and securing to the Sovereign Pontiff a
glorious pint at the head of the Italian nation, would cause
the inhaliitante of those provinces to share iu the benofits
which a strong and really national kingdom ensures to the
greater part of Central Italy.
I h.q. your Holiness will deign to take into consideration
these reflections, dictated by a sincere heart wholly devoted
to your person, awl that with your habitual ;goodness you
will be phased to grant me your holy benediction.

ing its neutinients an unworthy and

has already appeared in a letter from our Turin
correspondent.

Prom the same to the same.
Most Holy Father,—The events accomplished in the Ro-
magna@ impose upon me the duty of explaining to your
holiness with respectful frankness the motives of my
conduct.

Ten continuous years of foreign occupation in the
tal=whilst seriously affecting the independence of
been incapable of giving order to society, repose
to the populations, authority to the government
On the cessation of the foreign occupation the govern-
ment fell without help from any one to raise it again and
re-establish it. Handed over to themselves, the inhabitant'
of the Romagna", deemed ungovernable, showed by a con-
duct that deserved the applause of Europe that order, that
civil and military discipline, the appanage of the most
civilised nations, might be equally introduced among them.
But the uncertainties of a precarious situation, already
too prolonged, were a danger to Italy and Europe.
When it was necessary to give up the hope of seeing a
European mopes" assemble, before which the questions of
Central Italy would be brought, there remained no solution
possible save that of questioning the inhabttants again re-
specting their future destinies.
The solemnity of the universal suffrage having confirmed
the deliberation for annexation to the constitutional
monarchy of Piedmont, I was tlbund to accept it defini-
tively for the sake of Italy's peace and happiness. But, in
the interest of peace, I am always disposed to pay homage
to the supreme sovereignty of the Apostolic See.
Myself pa esthetic prince, I believe lam not, wanting to
the immutable erinciples of the religion which I glory in
professing with filial and unchangeable devotion.
But the change now effected concerns the political in-
terests of the nation, the security of the states, the mond
and civil order of society ; it concerns the independence of
Italy, for which my father lost his crown, and for which
I should be ready to lose my life. The difficulties now en-
countered turn upon a mode of territorial sway, which the
force of events has rendered necessary. Allstate. have
been obliged to consent to this necessity, and the Holy See
itself has acknowledged it in ancient and modern times.
In all change. of sovereignty, justice and the civil reason
of the state admonish us to take the requisite care to re-
concile ancient rights with the new institutions, and it is
for this motive that, with entire confidence in the good 1
sentiments and sense of your Holiness, I beg you to make
this undertaking easy for my government, which on its
pirt will neglect no 1110111111 or effort for attaining the object
desired.
In case your Holiness should benevolently accept the
present overtures, my government, ready to pay homage to
the high sovereignty of the apostolic see, would likewise be
quits deposed to labour equally at a diminution of the
charges and co-operate towards the security and rode-
ence of the apostolic see.
Such are our sincere intentions, and such I believe are
equally the wishes of Europe. And now that I have in
loyal words opened my heart to your Holiness I shall await
the result of your decisions, hsviug the hope that with the
aid of the good wiU of the two government', an agreement
may be arrived at which, bailed on the principles and the
satisfaction of the peoples, may insure to the relations be-
tween the two state a durable basis.
I expect from the geodes-1w of the father of the faithful a
benevolent reception. which strengthens the hope of seeing
civil discord cease, the exaaperated minds of men grow
calm, and every one escape the resionsibility of the evils
that might result from contrary counsels.
In this confidence I humbly pray your holiness to give
me your apostolic benediction.

LETTER PROM THE POPE TO THE IL/NO.

Majesty,—The events that have occurred in some pro-
vinces of the State of the Church impose on your majesty,
an you write me word, the duty of giving me au account of
your conduct with respect to those events. I might confine
myself to contesting curtain assertions contained in your let-
ter, and to saying, for 'listens*, that the foreign occupation in
the Legtit. had been for ft longtime confined to the city of
Bologna, which has never formed part of the Romagna. I
might nay that the pretended universal suffrage was imposed
and not voluntary ; for the rest I abstain front asking tte
opinion of your Majesty about universal suffrage, as also
from saying what my opinion is reganling this suffrage. I
might sac that the pontifical troops have been prevented
re-establishing legitunato government in the provinces that
have revolted for reasons equally known by your Majesty.
I might lay stress on these considerations and on others,
but that which especially imposes on me the duty of not
adhering to the ideas of your Majesty is my witnessing
the constantly increasing immorality iu thaw provinces
and the insults there offered to religion and its ministers.
Much more, even if I were not bound by solemn oaths to
maintain intact the patrimony of the church, oaths that for-
bid my lending myself to any attempt having for its object
a diminution of the extent ot this p.itriinony. I should see
myself obliged to reject any project conceived in this sense,
so that I might not sully my conscience by an adhesion
that would lead me to give my oanctiou to, and participate
indirectly in, these disorders, and nu operate in nothing less
than justifying an unjust and violent robbery. For the
rest, not otdy can I give no benevolent reception to the pr-
jects of your Majesty, but I protest on the contrary against
the usurpation that is being effected to the detriment of the
State of the Church, and which leaves on the conscience of
your Majesty, and of every other partiripetor in this flagrant
spoliation, the fatal consequences resulting therefrom. I am
persuaded that vour Majesty, on repcntsing with a calmer
mind, hues prejudiced and better informed es to the facts,
the letter you have &skimmed to me, will field in it numerous
grounds for repentance.
I pray God to give to your Majesty the grace you
specially need under the difficult circumstances of the pre-
sent time. _

In pregame of the events accomplished in Romagna, his
Majesty has thought it. his duty to make known his inten-

ment the means of resolving the preach difficulties. For
this cud he has indicated the hoses on which old rights may
be conciliated with the now order of things established iu
Romagna. In case these ropositions should leimeepteil ar
the bases of negotiations, his Majesty would charge Count
Fftsleric &limn., senator of the kiujoben, to proceed to
Rome to conduct theme negotiations. I um confident that
the choice of this gentleman, known not only for the learn-
ing and talent which distinguish Min, but for the religious
and conciliatory tendencies which he has always shown.
