LORD _RUSSELL AND 711 E 17 ALiAivs.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—During a short visit ti.) Italy in the autumn
of 1859 I had occasion to express at a small meeting
of Milanese citizens the conviction I then felt that
Lord Palmerston's Government would afford its
moral support to the cause of free government in the
Italian Peninsula, and that the English nation was
generally in favour of a united Italy.
The accompanying correspondence will show that
these Italians have expressed their gratitude to Earl
Russell in a tangible form, and that the marble
statue alluded to and the address which accompanied
it have been accepted by the noble Earl.
I feel highly honoured in having been deputed to
convey this expression of Italian gratitude to our
F. reign Secretary, and I am convinced that I am
only doing justice to the donors of the statue in
asking you to take notice of the circumstance ill
your journal.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your
very obedient servant,

A. KINNAIRD.

"To TIIE RIGHT HON, THE EARL RUSSELL, &C.
" May it please your Excellency,--A philanthropic mem-
ber of the British Parliament, Mr. Arthur Kimaaird (who,
at the commencement of Italy's regeneration, travelled 'with
one of his colleagues through our peninsula, with the vies`
of giving, as they did through the press, an impartial narra-
tive of their journey, after carefully studying its political
condition, expressing at the same time an opinion most
favourable to the rights of the Italian people), told some of
his friends when he was at Milan that your Excellency wasp
from among the members of the English Cabinet, one of the
foremost in defending the unity of Italy, and that therefore
the Italian patriots might rely upon you with the utmost
confidence. This assurance on the part of your noble follow.
citizens was subsequently confirmed most fully by an authen-
tic public docump,t to tne note addressed by
your Excellency to the representative of your Government
in Turin, Sir James Hudson, bearing date the 27th cf Octo-
ber, 1860, the last day of the Conferences at Warsaw. The
noble frankness with which your Excellency disapproved the
reproach cast by the other great Powers of Europe on the
acts of our Government, when seeking to achieve with
effectual determination the independence and liberty of
Italy, so happily initiated by Franco-Italian skill and va-
lour ; moreover, the entire approbation given by you, in the
name of your Government (despite the diplomatic ambi-
guities of the other leading •,tates of Europe), to the mode in
which the people and the King of Italy, with remarkable
concord, are striving to vindicate the right which each na-
tion has to belong entirely to itself—these things have
awakened in every Italian heart feelings of the most lively
gratitude.

" The undersigned, therefore, constituting themselves the
interpreters of the gratitude thus deservedly entertained. by
Italy for your illustrious support of her cause before the
European Areopagus, undertook to promote among their
fellow countrymen a voluntary subscription, in order to be
able to offer to your Excellency, as a token of national gam'
titude, a statue of Carrara marble, the work of an eminent
Milanese sculptor, Carlo Romano, Professor of Moulding
in the Royal Deaf and Dumb Institute of Milan, which was
in the Exhibition at Florence.

"The subject chosen by the artist appears to them very
suitable to the occasion, inasmuch as it expresses in marble
the predominant idea of your valuable note, symbolically
representing the unity of Italy by an elegant young female
figure seated on a rack, wearing on her right arm a brace•
let on which is engraven the motto, aria,' and hav-
ing her eyes fixed upon a diadem held fast in her two hands,
on which is exhibited in relief various armorial ensigns 813°
propriate to the different States of Italy.
" At the request of the promoteis of this patriotic tribute
the sculptor granted to them the possession of this work of
his as a mark of his country's gratitude, at the same dale
offering gratuitously a portion of the work of his hands
The undersigned, thus supported by the earnest and voltav
tary co-operation of numbers of their fellow-countrymen,
are sincerely rejoiced at being permitted to accomplish 81.1°-
cessfully this their unanimous wish by offering to your
Excellency a spontaneous tribute of grateful Italians"te
tribute which they hope you will kindly value the ra°r°,
from its being presented to you by your noble fellow-eit''
zen, Mr. Arthur Kinnaird, who, as he was for us the Ow'
rantee of your moat powerful patronage, will be also to VII
the witness of their never failing gratitude.

" Gentlemen,—lt is with feelings of deep gratitude that
I accept your gift of a statue, the work of the excellent
sculptor, Carlo Romano, and representing La Convinziooe
dell'Unita d'ltalia.'
" It has been always my persuasion that Italy herself VII°
the fittest judge of the best mode adapted to secure her free
dom, her happiness, and her independence.
" The only merit I can claim, in conjunction with
colleagues in the Government, is that of having exPresscisr
openly, constantly, and successfully, the opinion that
should not be interfered with in the great task which, to the
immortal glory of her sons, she undertook. tit
"It has been her good fortune that in the commence': e
of this work she was aided by the powerful armies of the
Emperor of the French. Her own fortitude, her own rOde;
ration, and her own patience have been conducive to
he
further progress, and her constancy will, I trust, corePlel
the edifice of which the genius of her people laid the 1)1134
foundations.
