PRUSSIA AND ITALY.
DEBATE IN THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS.
The Prussian Chamber was engaged for sins time
on Thursday last in discussing the affairs of Italy.
The inhabitants of Breelaw had sent a petition to the
house, urging it tossing in the formation of a strong
and independent kingdom of Northern Italy. The
commission by whom the petition was considered
recommended the adoption of the "order of the day,"
but for reasons which gave offence to the Roman
catholic and conservative party.
The speakers in the debate may be divided into
three classes—MM. de Prittwitz and de Bonin, pro-
testant conservatives, who defended legitimacy and
deplored the attacks upon the temporal power of the
Pope; MM. Reichetupperger, de Malliokrodt, and de
Berg, catholic', who broke a lance for Austria and
MM. Dohrn, Behrend, de Bentkowski (Pole), and
Baron Viacke, who spoke eloquently on behalf of the
rights and liberties of the Italians.
M. de Vincke said, in the course of a remarkable
speech:
You call the Italians revolutionists. What were they to
do when the legitimate authorities had neither the courage
nor the force to remain to ink posts? They had no chaise
bat to take another goverment. The same thing was don
in Ragland in 1688. The Eagibb sell that their " glorious
medullae." Do not tire yourselves by declamations
aphid nugests. (Applause.) The Bann are to be
admired for having, after the knit of their sovereigns,
noted the King of gardhla, kneed of atimenng them-
eaves to Mu alai. The pence of the catholic bishops has
boss nesticeed. Those geakemen have nothing to do with
kraign polities. The ,apany has mind without temporal
poisonous ; the Romagna has kiln ft tialy • 'Rile late in the
day; lest year even Austria peened upon the Po • territory
which bad ince belonged to the holy see. The Preach an

ban not heard that they have Interned either in Teeny
or In the Racemes. N. Retoloympsrger bee spoken of
Eaglisk guineas. I advise him an a *lead sot to deliver
himself at the tribune of lying suiplaions, sad words that
are lojosious to allied puree, and not to swear by the

Sulphur Bead." (Gagner.) It has bets said that the
potion is hostile to Austria; mad they ham appealed to the
doable-headed Ginn Eagle. If I enroll neon I sea
discover boning German la this bird; not • bather. The
Austrian eagle is but • black and yellow bird; It bee nothing
German, and has done all It en to divide Germany. I ma
cite proofs by downs. One will soils : remember the pesos
of Villafranca. The oEatal dawns prove that Prude
had advanced, • great deal too much in my °pinkie, Is
favour of Austria, to whom she wished net
to guanine Lombardy. Nevertheless the Roareror of
Austria has dared publicly to somas Prussia of having
abandoned him, and that, too, at • monsent when the
Emperor Napoleon declared that be lasi bets stopped In his
victorne march by the finitude of Prawn I Under them
circumstances we ham no motes for showing too much
friendship or complaissnos for Austria. (Applause.) I.
the inane of Amnia nen I Seat that Sardinia will
become snag enough to sine se a boulevard spies
Frans Austria will do well sho M give up Venetia.
(Lsaghter from the conservatives.) Do you refer, then,
that she should become insolveat ? (Cries of " No, no I")
Yu, I repeat ft—sseelreet. Do yon prefer seeing her add
sew million to her debt, or costractiag again a seen
lon of one hundred sad eleven millions? I regard
as an advent/go for Germany and Prussia ell that
strengthens the power of Sudinie, not rely because
of the similarity of our institutions, but because nedinis
ought to be • peasetioa egsinat Fens. For this reason
Sardinia ought to preserve the passage of the Alps. As to
the principle of legitimacy—l ask if the crown of Eoglaild
despite the asurpatiau of 1688, is not legitimate? As;
what soy you of Portugal, Spain, Swedes, Belgium? Whs•
is the prescriptive delay you admit? Is It thirty years or
fitly? Until the Europese law contains some rule as to
this matter, you will do well to lame us alone with your
prineples of indium. (Laughter.) I have • Inn con.
news that the policy of the present Minister of Foreign
Affairs will be io accordance with these views. (limb
applaure ).
. . . _

Y. de Schleinits (Minister of Foreign Affairs)—l WE hold
the opinion that it would have been more convenient end ,
constitutional not to have entered now upon a plitioal
melon. Siam the chamber has thought otherwise, I via
to communicate the little that It is in my power to tell you of
our prmeedings. The proposition for a coupe.., if it be.
not been formally ateindosed, has certainly fallen into the
background on account of differences of opinion which fore-
boded anytbiog but a favourable issue to such deliberations.
The cabinets, however, are endeavouring to remove these
differenom, sad to Sod the ground for a common deliberation•
These Marts, which recently found expression in the step.
takes alomeheneemly by the cabinets of Berlin and St.
Petersburg, have not bran crowned with the desired me:me.
It is of great Interest to Europe that Italy, whiob
is an imp irtant member of the ocakderation of
European states, rhould obtain, not .taffy a lege'
peeMestion, but a legal and regular situation. Prank will
never infuse bee aid in obtaurng so great en ed. Our most
Important task must be to prevent new ooraplications from
arising between great powers, and another pass war from
bursting upon Europe.

Tee Chamber then adopted the order of the day
as proposed by the commisaioe.

THE NEW POLICY OF FRANCE.
The Coertitutionael pabliehes ea article, signed

by its chief editor, M. orsndviillot, explaining the
French policy in Italy. In mentioning the solution
proposed in the message of M. Thouvenel, M.
Grandguillot says :—" It is not a Sardinian solation,
it is an Italian one. Sardinia will possess in, Tus-
cany an ally who will aid her to overcame the oppo-
sition of Naples and Rome, in order to oonstitate
an Italian nation, with the concurrence of all its
naticsalities, and not an Italian kingdom absorbing
everything without considering the essential differ-
entiae, the opposing interests, and the distrust of
Europe."
