LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 2.

Losn N‘otesNßY once more appeals to the Peers
of England and to the world at large against the
course of events in Italy. Nothing ought to have
happened as it has happened. Famtem 11. ought
to be still upon the throne of Naples, and Duke
Leorote ought still to hold the reins of torpid
tyranny in Tuscany. Every act of the Pied-
luontese Government has been perfidious and hy-
pocritical towards the superseded Courts of the
centre and the south of the Penineula, and san-
guinary and oppressive towards the people of the
conquered provinces. For a conquest by stealth,
surprise, and treachery, Lord NORMANDY evidently
thinks it has been. Spontaneous discontent, in-
surrection, and triumph, we •re assured there has
been none. All has been the result of secret
machination and profound plot. The innocent
King of the Two Stows was, in evil hour for
himself and crown, duped into appointing •
Cabinet of secret emissaries in the pay of
Artenm Exusweet. Had it not been for
this fatal mistake, his fleet would not have
deserted or his army been beaten in the field,
and his ex-Majesty's dominions would still be
subject to his sway. What manner of men they
may be whom this most noble friend of despotism
expects to believe his assertions without proof, he
has not vouchsafed to tell ; but proof Ire gives
none, and the only authority he cites for the
highly coloured statements of deception and cruelty
with which he favoured the House of Lords last
night, is that of anonymous paragraphs in Bourbon
and Papal newspapers, interspersed here and there
with a fragment or two of an official despatch. As
specimens of the candour and justice which cha-
racterise Lord NORMANDY'S allegations, it may be
enough if we note two, different in their kind, but
identical in the spirit that dictates them. The
Cross of Sr. MAURICII has for the second time
been offered by Vicron EIRMANTRL to M. GAL,
LINGA, who many years ago was, by his own con-
Ismion, guilty of entertaining designs against the
person of the late King CHARLD ALBIIRT. Early
in the reign of the present sovereign he was for-
given, and recommended byCount GAVOCR for the
decoration in question. Some objection, however,
baring been publicly made at the time, he re-
nounced the distinction, and has since remained
unconnected with and unnoticed by the Govern-
ment. The cause of the recent offer on the part
of the Kieu to confer on him the insignia of the
Sardinian order is not stated ; and Lord Nos-
MANDY is quite at liberty to excite the indignation
of mankind, if he is able to do so, against the man
who meditated the assassination of the late K ix°.
But in common decency and fair play the noble
Marquis might as well have stated that M.
(humans was at the period alluded to but eighteen
years of age, that he did not actually attempt to
execute his design, and that, according to his own
version of the story, he was misled by enthusiastic
devotion to Republicanism, and by impatient re-
sentment at the abject thraldom in which Piedmont
as well as the rest of Italy was then kept. Other
version of the affair we have none ; and voluntary
confessions intended to criminate former associates
are notoriously unsafe foundations to build upon.
But Lord Noanaear is not troubled about the
character or conduct of M. GALLIDIGA itself, and
be only introduces his name for the purpose of
casting another reproach on VICTOR EMMANUEL.
He therefore lays bold of just so much as suits
him, and no more ; and then asserts gravely that
a decoration has been conferred by the King of
ITALY on the baffled assassin of his father.
The other illustration to which we refer is that
which relates to the proclamation of General
Ptmetti for disarming the brigands and insurgents
in the Abruzzi. The noble lord appears to have
read at some length the violent and arbitrary
language of the proclamation, in order to excite
the indignation of his hearers. But he chose
to forget to mention the rather signifi-
cant fact, that no sooner were the terms
of the document brought under the notice
of the Government at Turin than it was peremp-
torily cancelled and publicly disavowed. ibis
was done within fourteen days after the first pub-
lication, and we have never seen it asserted upon
any reliable authority that during that brief inter-
val its threats were ever put in force. What,
then, is the equity, policy, or common sense of
making wholesale charges of cruelty and oppres-
sion against a Government with which we are on
friendly terms, because it had in its service a hot-
headed officer, whose language it has been ome-
peUed to disown I Has the British Government never
made mistakes in the selection of its servants, or
has it never been compelled to dismiss or disavow
them f Haa Lord Misnam, forgotten his own

administrative blunders in thu choice of subordi-
nates ; or is he too old to remember instances of
unfitting appointments with which his name was
once familiarly associated f The truth is, however,
that he 'veins to be one of those men who are incapable
of distinguishing between facts that ars facts and
facts that are not facts ; just as COLZIIIMS, meal
to say some men bousht books wilbOnt knowing
" whether they were really books, or Nay not
" books." In his overflowing enmity to the new
Kingdom of Italy and to its new KING be pours
forth without discrimination the contents of his
autumnal and winter gleanings from gossiping
letters, reactionary journals, ultramontane pamph-
lets, and garbled extracts from the Blue Books.
