A despatch from Turin, dated the 10th instant,
states that Count Cavour has presented a second
note on the affairs of Italy.

In this note, which has been communicated to the
governments of England and France, the Count
states that legations under Austrian occupation
usurp the powers of the Pope, and impose a con-
tinual state of siege, and he proposes the seculari-
zation of the legation for internal affairs, by which
means the foreign occupation of the Reman States
will be no longer necessary.
