Against it

The following is a summary of a speech delivered
by Count Caroar in the course of the debate. He
said :—" Oar consistent policy has been at all times
national and Italian (nationals Italienne), and never
of a revolutionary character. Austria has lately
taken a menacing attitude towards us. She has
increased her military forces at Piacenza, and
has collected very large forces on our frontiers,
therefore the necessity arises for us to look for
means for the defence of the state. The English
alliance has always been the constant care of our
whole political life. We have always considered
England ea the impregnable asylum of liberty.
The cries of suffering coming from Bologna
and Naples reach at last the banks of the Thames,
while the tears and groans of Milan are intercepted
by the Alpe and the Austrians. But the cause of
liberty, of jostioe, and of civilisation must always
triumph. As regards England, Lord Derby will not
tarnish his glory by making himself an accomplice
of those who wish to condemn the Italians to eternal
servitude. Oar policy is not defiant, we will not
excite to war, neither will we lower our voice when
Austria arms herself and threatens us."

The Paris correspondent of the Brumes Ade-
pevedaloce states that in the note addressed by the
Cabinet of Turin to the European Courts, the
Sardinian government points out that since the
declarations of the Paris Congress, protocol 22,
Austria has not ceased to employ her in-
fluence in Italy for thwarting the intentions
expired by the plenipotentiaries of the different
powers in favour of Sardinia. At the congress, in
the sitting of the Bth of. April, 1856, Count Walewski
announced that it resulted from the exchange of
opinions between his colleagues: Ist.That the Austrian
plenipotentiaries joined in the desire el:premed by the

plenipotentiaries of France to see the POntitloal States
evacuated by the French and Austrian troops,
immediately It could be done without inconvenience
to the tranquility of the country, and the consoli-
dation of the authority of the Holy See. 2nd.
That the greater number of the plenipotentiaries
did not question the efficaoy of measures of
clemency taken opportunely by the governments of
the Italian Peninsula, and especially by that of the
Two Sicilian The circular notasets forth that for some
time Austria has added to the previous injuries she
had inflicted upon Italy, by a number of military mea-
sures which threaten the independence of the Italian
' state*, particularly of Sardinia. The Cabinet of Turin,
therefore, conceives it a duty to notify to the different
powers, that, desiring to be able to resist any attempt
of a foreign government of a nature to compromise
the safety of the Bsrdinian states, as well as the re-
volutionary Inoue of setts, subversive of public
order, the government of King Victor Emmanuel
believes it right to take each precautions se, that
from this time the country may be considered as
on a war footing.
