ITALY.

The following is the full text of the article in the
Official Gazette of Turin, of which a telegraphic
summary has already appeared :

" A foreign paper, La France, discussing our affairs, in'
yokes the assembly of a diplomatic congress, to the sanction
of which it should like to see submitted a project of cant's.
deration founded upon the division of Italy into three
States--one in the north, another in the south, and the Pow
tifical State in the centre.

" We do not understand how a serious journal can Pro-
pose to Europe to settle the affairs of Italy by overthrowing
the monarchy, and by spliting in two that crown which
universal suffrage, the value and work of centuries. ilace
placed upon the head of a prince who protects its destinies•
ci The unity of the national monarchy cannot be the sub-
ject of diplomatic conferences, and serve the chimerical
views of writers \%ho are ignorant of the political conditions
of our country. That unity is independent of all and every-
thing, because it is the principal upon which the national
movement is based, and towards which it tends,
" The greatest fact of our c:ntury is certainly the Italian
monarchy, which progresses with so great security that
history cannot give any example of a new State that can be
compared to it. This monarchy, recognised by the pest
Powers of Europe, will know, then, like them, how to main-
tain itself with order in the position assigned to it by
Divine Providence, and by the public right of the nations
of the civilised world,

"The discussions upon the utility of Federal States in
Italy, which gives such pleasure to certain foreign writers,
have not the slightest signification for us. Italy can never
take part in diplomatic conferences to discuss her own
unity; she can only do so to discuss the plenitude of the
rights which emanate from the national unity.
"The Monarchy cannot but loudly affirm that its exist'
ence is not complete, that the exercise of the rights which
belong to it is not entire, that its work is not sufficientli
efficacious without Rome as the capital of Italy.
" The difficulties which some bring forward upon this
organisation will vanish from the fact, as those have vanished
which were connected with the union of the different Pro-
vinces.

" The Papacy will find itself, in a practical point
view, tree and its own master in the Italian kingdom, uictia
,re
so than it is at the present moment in its own domain. 11"-
immense evils which some predict in their ardent imaginal;
tion will be reduced to a nullity. The unity of Italy will
be a more solid and surer guarantee of the Papal indePena'
donee than would be the confederation or the neutrality an
autonomy of the territory of St. Peter."

THE CHANNEL FLEET.

[BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.]

PORTSMOUTH, SATURDAY MORNING•

The Channel fleet, comprising the Revenge'
Galatea, Emerald, and De.ence arrived at Spittle°
this morning.

7HE INTE.RNATION.AL EXHIBITIO.Y.

The payments yesterday were scarcely up to the
Friday's average, even of late, while all Saturday
have recently shown a very marked diminution Is
number. Up to 5 o'clock yesterday the admisso
were—by payment, 15,066; by season tickets'
5,184 ; total, 20,250. The question of opening t1:1,
building on Saturday to shilling visitors is 0
turally more eagerly discussed now, as each o°,
ceeding week shows a falling off in the receipts
~
from half crowns on that day. It is quite true
that the 12,000 or 15,000 half-crowns represent 'e
money the amount taken on "slack shill,ll3:t
days, but it by no means follows from this tP-
a shilling Saturday would not largely surpass the
:t i
average of the very best days of the week. Right't
or wrongly, the opinion is strongly entertained (:)1/
of doors that if Saturday were made a shilling cifijt
now, at this season of the year, when the grey
majority of fashionable visitors are out of tovvtl'a,
r-s
attendance of 70,000 or 80,000 shilling vi3ith%
might with certainty be counted on. Upon t
0r
result, however, we express no opinion one
the other, though we think that, when the Cc3w,
missioners are driven to almost desperate exile
clients to clear the guarantors before the ninsl°7:3
such an experiment would be fairly worth a °ngto
day's trial. If the reduction were made know° 43
the public in time, one day would be quite etuto
to give an estimate of what might be expected we
its weekly continuance. At the same time f
o
would venture to suggest that, as the Coune'iois,
the Horticultural Society and the Royal Col33rd to
sioners have always acted in concert with rega itice
charges, the former should on these occasions redo
their charge of admission to the gardens to a 51
eorVa_
threepenny fee. The charge of 6d. is only 13,..:1510
tively supposed to answer because the lowe_rob_yocii
has never been tried, though last ear the
about tplq
announced their intention of adopting
time.
