THE SPEECH OF THE KING OF SARDINIA

The Paris correspondent of the Times (second
edition) says :

produced.by the Emperor's address to ICI. Hubner.
Much anxiety was betrayed the whole of the morn-
ing about Turin. It was known that the speech had
been sent up here to be retouched, but opinion
was divided as to whether these touches were in
cheerful or gloomy colours. A despatch from
Turin, giving an nnalysis, was known here about

two o'clock.- The last. sentence was followed by
fresh sales to a large amount and the fall continued.
to the close.

Another circumstance, which perhaps does not
contribute much to restore calm, is the news of
the_ approaching marriage of Prince Napoleon

with the daughter of the King of Sardinia,-which
I mentioned yesterday. At any other moment

the whole of the -Valais Royal ; the offices of his
department, as Minister of Algeria, &c., will be
established at the Louvre. It is affirmed that the
Emperor gives a dotation of 1,000,000 f. to his
cousin. This last is, of course, but a trifle, if the
state of the finances, as described in the flowery
report of M. Magne- the alier ilay, be correct.
Anticipating, probably, that the marriage would
not at this moment enchant the public, who are so
anxious, and I may say so alarmed, at the thought
of peace being disturbed, orders have been sent
round to the newspapers not to make any allusion
to it. This was understood to be at the instance
of one of the Prince's houschould acting by autho-
rity. The Minister of the Interior and the Prince
are both, as is well known, partizans of the liberty
press ; their notionsS-Of it, hoWever, are,, as we see,
peculiar. The newspapers have, as commanded,
kept silence. 'The Prince will be accompanied to
Turin by one of his aides-de-camp. _ _ _

The *following letter has been received from
Turin :

The speech from the Throne, of which you will re-
ceive extracts a few hours after my letter, has been
already communicated in confidence to
d' Auvergne, the French Minister het

i. Latou

This fact is

not without importance ; it naturally gives more
weight to the national tendencies which will be found
in the speech. Constitutional Piedmont, proclaiming by
the mouth of her king aspirations of national independ-
ence, cannot continue to exist beside Austria and in
contact with other. states founded on principles opposed
to her own. If France, her friend and ally, assures the
eNistence of PiedmOnt she cannot assure either the main-
tenance of the Austrian domination in Lombardy, or that
of the bad system of government in some parts of Italy.
The negative side of that policy is
-incontestable ; an in-

_
dication: may be given therefrom of the line of conduct to
be pursued by France under certain contingencies.
