AUSTRIAN INTERFERENCE IN ITALY.

Mr. lialllalf ached the Under setashryd MMt for
Foreign Atkin whether the treaties which wW99 ml yto
the Treaty of Yleana bare been concluded between the Em-
peror 01 Austria and the different &ranges of Italy sad
having reference to the intense government of their demi-
time or their military occupation by Austrian troop, bad
b.se communicated to the Blitish government, and whether
there were copies of them in the Funks-office; sad, if the
mower be in the eirsoarive. whether there Inman) oishotioa
to lay them before parliament ?
Mr. SEYMOUR FITZGERALD—In mly to the hon.
gentlemen I will my that, se • graterd rule, it is
sever the preethe of the goverameet to lay any
:Miof toadies on the table that are made
na &edge powers, mime they are oommuoicated di-
rectly by those foreign powers for our informo-
den ; bat Eke will permit me to answer his question a little
more in d•bill, I will do so. As repels the Treaty of
Vinous, it is sot neoessary to lay that on the table of the
house, hector it is a treaty to which we ourselves are par-
ticle, and any boa. gentleman can lea it If he will only refry to
the library of dd. hoer. The next treaty which would come
wader the peed= of the has member is a Ire dy which is
believed to hove been made between Austria and Tuscany on
the 11,11 of Jane, 11116. We bars an *Mehl knowledge of
this treaty whatever, bat it is printed In the Austrian col-
lection of maths ; and may be seen by say gentleman in
the library of this lona. The next h a Utility between Austria
end Naples. Of that, spin, we have no copy in
the Foreign-odor; we have no knowledge of it, although
with tehmace to a portion of it we did receive some informa-
tion at the time from our embroiders; but it h rederriel to
in the Norway Mem irk of the 10th October, ISO, sad so
far as I am aware, the subetanttel and lespertaat pet is
than. There le another treaty, between Austria, Bpefn, and
the Debts Duchies, but that again hes ham laid on the table
of the bona, sad ft is published in the Nee papers. With
mimeses to the melt treaty that comes under the goners.
there is we between Austria, Sardinia, Toomey, Litce,
Modes*. This hes rehrtnoe to the territorial limits of the
Duchies • it has already bees laid on the table in ISA tad
is In the Bret part of the Parliamentary Papers on the
Affairs of Italy, rage 267. The ant heady see
tarred to is one of very considerable impereente
between Austria, Parma, and Modena. It is a hest, ail*
gives to Austria a right of prep foe her troops la oath
either of hostilities or disturbaness, and pats her under the
obligation of interfering in ewe of 'ahead die minnow in
the Duchies. It her been deemed of each importance that
it was laid on the table of the hones la 1848, and it is in the
blue book ; it was agate laid at the table of the house la
1849, and it will be Mad be the mond part of the Pulls-
cueotery Papers, pegs 78. There ase some other trades,
but they have referees' rather to commercial matters, and do
not coxes strictly within the theoripthe of the bon. gentle-
man. One hawses Asa mi% Parma, end Modena wee hid
on the table In 1568. Thaw is a stipplemeatal treaty
between Austria and Modes+, *Wok has re-
ference only to the aerialist's el the Po. There
ie a treaty from Andel& and Tuscany of the 17th
of May, 111410, but that was roth.r temporary in It, nature
and had ref.reoce to the occupation of the Tuscan territory
by Auerien troops during toe didarbances, and provided for
the evacuation of the territory, which has mina takes piece.
Thera lino other treaty which mem leader the question, and
the lion. palatine will, thaVors, see that the house is
already in powerless of all the papers, with the merlon
cal, of those of which we have se kaowledge.
