•I?LL ITALY.

Mae es o',w euriessossumra, , 7A.)1
MODENA, lox IL
A great step has just W Ade by the Governor-
Omen! of thii sentry towards its maul annerntion
to Piedmont. The electoral law of Sardinia has
been promulgated in the /Emilian provinces, and the
measure otesmarp for carrying it out have already
been taken by Farini. It is therefore to be expected
that the Transaprnnine States of Central Italy will
be able to mod their deputies to Turin at the opening
of the Subalpine parliament. According to the pro-
visions of the electoral law the Legations, together
with the two miser duchies, are to send 70 members
to the National Chamber of Deputies. At this rate the
.Emi lies provinces will henedorth return one deputy
for each 30,000 seals. From what I hear the remit
alield: of the forthoomin elections cannot be doubted. It
will pm" favourable to the liberal party,
for eves in the one the priests and cods.; have
lost all their Maumee. Possibly, attempts will be
mall by them to bribe some of the mountain dis-
tricts of the Apennines ; but, even if they should
succeed in doing this, I very mach doubt if they will
obtain more than four or five reactionary votes. As
far as the minor duchies are concerned, their pope-
Leticia will go to the poll actuated by only one
thought, and vote to a man for the liberal candidates.
The same will occur in Tummy ; for, before my de-
parture from Florence, Ihe on good authority
that Baron Ricasoli was going to do in Tommy
what has already been dome by Parini in this country.
The els facto maexatioa of Central Italy will thus
be aMouipliebed. and • powerful kingdom of
12,000,000 of Italians will be constituted in the
peninsula, in spite of the protestations of Austrian
dukes and the Pope. The policy which prevails in
the councils of Victor Emmanuel leaves no doubt
that the deputies of Central Italy will be admitted
into the Subalpine parliament. Count Carom is a
man who has given us too many proofs of his bold
and determined conduct to leave any doubt as to
his future policy.
Even supposing the pressure which may still '
come from Paris should induce the Sardinian
premier to adopt a diffe.ent course of policy, the
rulers of Central Italy are too determined to allow it.
I have been told that both Fabrieri and Giorgini,
who represent the Tuscan government at Turin, have
received instructions to urge upon the new Sardinian
cabinet the necessity of adopting • bold policy and
hastening the !like. Astor Farisi, you may be assured
that he ham repeatedly written to his illustrious
friend in the 'erne strain. I therefore firmly believe
that the difficult question of the annexation may be
henceforth considered as definitively settled. It is
true that on the eve of my departure I heard in
Florence that it wee the intention of the French
Emperor to have • general voting throughout Cen-
tral Italy before giving his assent to the annexation.
I cannot, however, attach much credit to this ru-
mour, for such a course would be one of the most mis-
chievous absurdities. To have recourse to universal
suffrage would be, in my humble opinion, a mere loss
of time. The votes which have substituted the pre-
sent government for the former ones were the ex-
pression of a very liberal and very extensive suffrage,
which, if again appealed to, would give the same
answer. On the other hand, it would not
be fair or prudent to have the principle of universal
suffrage applied to this country, whilst this principle
is not se yet recognised as an element of the national
law of Earops. Except in the case of republican
and imperial Franco, &plebiscites' has never been,
in our times, the heath of any state whatever.
Belgium and the Danubian Principalities were
'rarely not constituted by the universal vote of their
population, and it would have been dangerous to
have such • precedent established in the European
community.
. _

It would be, therefore. an enormous political fault
were the governments of Central Italy to accept the
principle of a new election on the buis of universal
suffrage. Although the final result of an appeal to
it would undoubtedly prove favourable to the liberal
cause of Italy, to make such an appeal would he tan-
tamount to calling in question the legality of the
former rata, from which the governments of this
countr3 derive their power. At any rate it is
the d of our government not to give
way this point. To accept it would
be to •un counter to oar traditional policy.
From le nut I have heard both here and in Tuscany
I have no doubt that the Imperial project; should
each an one exist, will meet with the most deter-
mined onvoeition, not only from the governments of
Central Daly, but from the people itself. The Emperor
of the French must be aware of this, for he his
summoned his cousin, the Marquis Pepoli, to Paris,
in orde•, I believe, to have an
.opportunity of learn-
ing the real state of public opinion in this country.
The marquis left Bologna this morning, &compound
by Count Visconti Vacate, one of the moat able
young diplomatists of the Foreign•office of this
country Were I to believe what was related
to me by an influential member of the Taman
Amicably this morning, Ind afterwards repeated
by a friend who lad arrived from Turin,
the TO. rs of Central Italy have receired a
rather x•raordinary suggestion from a high official
quarter .n Busload, rm., that of reeortiog to the
expedi. -t of a Central Italian Coatederation. I do
not be,•••ve the report, for the suggestion is too
absurd o come from the quarter referred to.
Nothing will do but the annexation and in this
opinion I am glad to fled that M. Pima, the able
editor La Press*, with whom I have jest been
conser• on the subject, eadeely mews with me.
