4a7IIIIBrINTELLIGENCE.
SARDINIA'S REPLY TO FRANCE.

DESPATCH OF COUNT CAVOUR.
TURIN, WILDNINDA,T, Ilse= 7.
A note from Coast Cavour, addressed to M. de
Nigra at Paris, dated 29th Feb., has been published
in reply to the menage of M. Thomsen,' to Baron
Talleyrand

As these proposals originate with a government
which has so much right to expect the gratitude of
Sardinia, the Sardinian cabinet is naturally dispozed
to give them the most favourable reception But
the government of his Majesty is nevertheless con-
vinced that these proposals will meet with serious
• diMoelties in their execution which it would not be
in the power of the Sardinian government to van-
quish. The solution proposed is mach more advan-
tageous for Italy than it was possible to expect
immediately after the peace of Villafrancs. At that
time this solution would have been accepted by
Central Italy without much reluctance. It is not
the ease at the present moment. The feeling
of the population of Central Italy in regard
to their right to be the arbiter of their own destiny
has been strongly developed and strengthened in
oonsequenoe of the formally repeated assurances of
the Emperor's government, to the effect that no spe-
cial form of government would be imposed upon them
by force. The Sardinian cabinet will transmit to
Central Italy the proposal' of France, the govern-
ments of which country will probably consult
the nation by means of universal and secret
suffrage; the result of which could not by
any means be contested. The proposal of a
Vicariate which is contained in the message
of M. Thouvenel involves the direct in-
terference of the papal government in the interior
administration, and would meet with absolute resist-
ance on the part of the inhabitants of the Romagna.
The Pope also on his part would probably give
this proposal a less favourable reception than were
the question to treat of the absolute separation of the
provinces from his dominion. Count Cavour believes
that the objects of France would be attained if the
annexation were to take place on the conditions im-
posed on the King of Sardinia to recognise the su-
perior sovereignty of the Pope, and to engage him-
self to co-operate, even by armed force, in main-
taining the independence of the Holy See, and
to contribute in a certain degree to the expenses of
the court of Rome. In order to obtain a more sin-
cere manifestation of the wishes of the Inhabitants,
Count Cavour believes that the government of the
Romagna ought not to make express mention
of the Vicariate in the propositions submitted
for universal suffrage. The proposition relative
to Tuscany cannot be equivocal in the form in which
it will be presented to the popular vote. Whatever
be the answer which the States of Central Italy may
give, the government of the King of Sardinia
will accept it without reserve. If the people
of Toomey pronounce for the preservation
of their political autonomy, Sardinia would
freely assist them to surmount the obstacles which
might offer themselves to such a solution. The
government will act in a similar manner in regard
to Puma, Modena, and the Romagna. 11, on
the contrary, the provinces manifest once
more in a decided manner a determined
wish to be united to Piedmont, we should not know
bow to oppose it any longer. Even if we should
wish to do so we could not. Accepting beforehand
the eventuality of the annexation, the government
of the King takes upon itself the immense
responsibility attached to it. He is eon-
rimed that if he rejects the demand of
Tuscany for annexation the cabinet of the
King would lase all moral authority in Italy,
and would find itself reduced to govern by force.
Rather than compromise the great work of regene-
ration for which France makes such sacrifices, the
honour and interests of our country advise
the King and his goverment to expose
themselves to the most perilous risks. Count Ca-
your adds some reflection on the proposition to re-
store to Tuscany her autonomy. Count Cavour re-
serves for another despatch to treat the consider-
ation of the arguments which do not re-
late to Central Italy, and concludes by
stating that the reasons set forth will prove to
M. Th 1 that we cannot defend the solution
which he proposes.
Count Caveat. authorises M. de Nigra to read the
despatch, and give a oopy of it to the Minister for
Foreign Affairs.
