SARDINIA.

TURIN, Jan. 27.—Yesterday the Chamber of
Deputies assembled for an extraordinary sitting,
in order to hear the treaty of alliance between Sar-
dinia, France, and England, together with the
military convention between Sardinia and Eng-
land, read, and to allow of the presentation of a
project •f law for authorising the Government of
the King of Sardinia to raise a loan according to
the terms of t] Blast-named convention, and thereby
enable it to fulfil the first. After Count Cavour,
as Foreign Minister, had read the treaty and con-
ventions, he read the following preamble, explana-
tory of the views of Government in forming the
present alliance, and asking the Chamber for the
powers requisite to put it in execution :

" Gentlemen,—The Eastern war, having called forth
new interests to combat on the field of politics, has ren-
dered new alliances necessary.
"The course of old diplomatic traditions was all at
once interrupted, and both from ti careful consideration
of the present serious moment and of a future from
which the greatest prudence alone can avert the dangers,
it was clear to every Government that, in the face of
complications so unexpected on the world's stage, it
was necessary to seek a new system that should procure
strength, supports, and remedial acts, to provide against
the altered circumstances.

" England and France first gave the world the gener-
ous example of the most complete forgetfulness of their
secular differences, descending united to the field where
they combat in the cause of justice and the common
rights of nations.
" Tke other Governments, watching the rapid progress
of events, dispose themselves to take that part in them
that necessity or the convenience of their own policy may
require.
"In such serious circumstances, and in the midst of
such general preparations, the Government of the King
would have been gravely wanting in duty had it not at-
tentively considered how to act for the good of the King
and the State, and, having made its choice, had it not
resolutely put it in execution.

" The-aliernatives were two :
" Neutrality—that is to say, isolation ; or,
"Alliance with the Western Powers.

" Neutrality, sometimes possible to powers powers of the
first rank, is seldom so to thlse of the second, un-
less placed in special, political, and geographical cir-
cumstances. History, however, rarely shows happy
instances of neutrality, the least sad results of
which terminate in making those who adopt it
either objects of suspicion or disdain to both con-
tending parties. To Piedmont, moreover, the high
heart of whose kings inspired at all times a resolute
policy, alliances have always been more pleasing.
" Piedmont has succeeded in making herself ac-
counted more by Europe than herlimited territory would
appear to warrant, because in the day of common peril
she has always known how to face the common fate ;
as also because in times of tranquillity it was part of the
rare wisdom of the Princes of Savoy to reform, by slow
degrees, adapting the political and civil laws to the new
wants, the natural consequences of the incessant con-
quests of civilisation.
" She might, it is true, by one thing or the other,
from force of circumstances, have fallen, though, if she
had done so, she would have risen again ; but she was
never held in scorn, or put aside ; she never broke the
bond that bound her to her kings, and always found her
safety in the fidelity and esteem that she has known how
to inspire.
"A new pr)of of both was the proposition of an alli
ante to the Government of his Majesty on the part o
those of her Majesty the Queen of England and of his
Majesty the Emperor of the French.
" The examples of history, the anticipations of the
future, the noble traditions of the House of Savoy, all
unite to drive the Ministry from a timid, idle policy, and
to lead it instead by the old road, followed by our fathers,
who knew true pruderice to exist in sharing the sacrifices
and perils encountered for justice, whence arose increased
reputation or benefits after victory.

" By order of the sing, who on this occasion, as
always. has shown himself equal to the greatness of the
and to the TIMUU ur Um,— the formal ad-
hosioa to the treaty of the 10th of April' has boon
plished, and at the same time were drawn up the two
conventions calculated to regulate the manner of co-ope-
ration to be lent by Sardinia in consequence of this act.
" We come, therefore, to submit them for your appro-
bation.

" The fruit of a prudence which tends to courage and
generosity, we confidently believe that this treaty will
obtain your consent so much the more than it would
have done had it bean suggested by a timid prudence
and short-sighted ca,lculaions.

" You, elected by a people who have always a heart
devoted to their princes whenever they should follow on
the path of sacrifice and honour, cannot feel it in your
hearts to act otherwise.
" To the Cross of Savoy, as to that of Genoa, the
road to the East is known. Both have shown them-
selves victorious on those fields, where this time they
will shine united on our banner. Placed now between
the glorious standards of England and France, it will
know how to prove itself worthy of such high company,
and that God, who for eight centuries has supported the
fortitude and faith of the House of Savoy, will bless it
