THE AFFAIRS OF PARMA.

The following despatch 114. been addressed by
Count Cavour to the Nlarq&l d'Aztglio, the Sixth-
nian Minister at the court of London
TURIN, JUNE 22, 1859.
Sir James Hudson has, by direction of the Earl el Mallows-
bury, read to me awl furnish al too with a copy of the
aneextd de/peach having retort n:c to the affairs of Parma.
In this communication the pr'uslpal palish Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs endesvotps to establish that by the
act of Sardinia the government art P.lfhl.l found it iteposeible
to pretest against the entrenee of the Auatrian troops into
the ducloy if it bad been inclin d to do ro, being no longer
able to ground Ito prstest on the neutral character of the
derby.
The Earl of Malmesbury adds that the government of
Pane& has never deparfed teem Cm, ties of the attic:est neu-
trally, and that Austria has not sot the example of dine-
;carding it ; whence Le amelimea that the intetvettion of
&tedium can only be Yoked up in ns a creel and unjustifiable
employment of farce against f«el le and small state.
1 shall abetain from commettiog the unfriendly tone of
this communication, and shall CJI..fiIIM totelf to the task of
rectifying the facts theteia allege]. Teem facts are even 20
notonous, that after retalitig the despatch in question it might
not unix owlishly be a le.d if the rniniteer who accuses us Ms
glanctdat the map where the emu's of the war have token
piste.
No one, In fact, is ignorant the! the attack orainst Pied-
mont wits I-a-pared on the territory of Parma. It was thins
that the Austrian trawl « c die .t.sl sal titre-acne-dour frontier;
it wiatt"hy borrowing tile tenant.). of the duchy that they in-
vaded Piedmont. Piacenza had become the principal lads
of Count Cilyulais offensive operate-n.; Voghers, Tortons,
were occupied by an army corps tI. it advanced by the fron-
tier of Piacenza, toe march oar h.Ltmio rtattrd thence. If
Alemandria was threatened. if our commutates. isns with
Genoa were for an instant c anft.w i-rd, this must be attri-
buted to the viola Imo of !has terse-ay of the duchy.
Did the government of Purina usilet any f weenits evilest
thew acts soconopl atm it unto it+ rye e ? It did not utter a
a single word to prevent, as fir as ley in its power, the mili-
tary op, retinas of its ally audit:at a n..iglshouring state, with
which it affirms th it desired to susietain irlendly relstions.
When hoettlitits were ietteitent, us re courtesy, ins well as
intenatioaal duties, a ould have a' h n•t required tonne com-
munication to be mule to Sardinia explanatory of the lined
cauduct that the proverune nt of Parma ptopomd to itself to
follow in the exeeptieral eircutuaseneee uuder which it wee
on the eve of Leine plated. Net Ling was mid to us.
It WAS not until the cnerny's plans had miscarried, arid the
allied armies of Piedmont std Fiance Laying in theta turn
assumed the offensive—the Auetriane were on the point of
evreuaing the altielsiee—it war act lii the n that the wish to
maintain neutrality won WWI lied. It is trident that after all
that had passed this p, I o• rassl I not Ise ;dint ted.
The Earl of Nlahrumnury, in hie despatch, has .town a de-
sire only to jurist en one fee", which i., that the govern-
taent of Parma had never foiled In the duties of
neutrality, and that Austria had always respected her, In
order to refute theme allegati.ns I ces.d only reoll to mind
the military operatains that teak place tram and after the
29th of April; they ptove that the information which
reached Lord Malaise-bury less Inane- rate. If the Minister
of British Foreign Alf dr. bad rowed the discussion on other
ground, and ieva keel in fey-car al the l' trlll.llll government
anterior treaties that placed it in au tx.eptional It
would bare been easy for tee to hove ter lied in a no leas
eatisfectory muster. My es (sear of the ilith feet. enables
you to segue this qwessisa should it ;ate.
I beg you to nal nom despatch and give a copy of It to
Lord John Ituassill.—Acorre, Se ,
