ENGL NI) AND ITALY.

_ letter from Turin, dated April 15, says—However
strongly and inexorably warm the gratitude and hard ne-
cessity may, since 18 9, have wedded Italy to the French
alliance, there is no doubt that an irresistible feeling is
springing up, prompting the Italian people to do justice to
the up wright intentions and disinterested sympathies of the
English nation and Government. There are many reasons
why England should be only partially and imperfectly
known in this country. There are not very many Italians
fully conversant with the English language, and, with the
exception of a few political exiles, Italian traveliers are
seldom induced to prolong their stay beyond the Chan-
nel to gain a clear insight of British institutions and
of the peculiarities of the Anglo• Saxon character.
On the other hand, English tourists, even when
they settle in some of the cities of the Penin-
sula for any length of time, live pretty much to
themselves, frequenting the Courts or a few houses
of the high nobility, and a certain amount of shyness, or
even mutual repulsion, prevents their familiar intercourse
with what may be called the sound mass of the people.
Most of the information the Italians gain on the subject of
England and the English is obtained through the not very
fair channel of the French press and literature. Not a few
of the old French prejudices and exaggerations about Eng-
lish oligarchy, about the wretched poverty, the drunken
profligacy, and the brutality of the lower classes, the sell-
ing of wives in the market-place, the venality of commis-
sions in the army and livings in the church, the hundred
anomalies and monstrosities of the English body politic,
linger still in force among half-educated Italians. It is
French knowledge secondhand, aggravated, too, by instinc-
tive abhorrence of anything heretical inculcated by the
priests in early training.
It is very clear, however, that the Italians, who never
meditated a descent upon the British coasts, who have no
Waterloo to revenge, and who labour rather under ignor-
ance than settled animosity, entertain a vague but earnest
admiration of a people whom they see no Tess peopling than
subduing the earth, and their no leas warm than true in-
stincts inspire them with a strong wish really and inti-
mately to know that England abcut which they hear and
talk so Lanai, and with which they must needs acknow-
ledge their acquaintance is yet so indistinct.
The short extracts of Lord Palmerston's speech in the
House of Commons on Friday last, which reached Italy on
Sunday evening by telegraph, produced a sensation which
could not be easily described. Early in the morning of
yesterday we had the London morning papers of Saturday,
and before evening the substance of the long debate on
Italian affairs which led to the Premier's remarkable
speech was extensively known. The journals of this morn-
ing have already a few scraps of the salient points of that
momentous debate, and I am told the whole short-hand
report of the Times is now being translated, to appear word
for word in the shape of a popular pamphlet.
" Thanks to the noble advocates of the Italian cause in
the Imperial British Parliament I" I hear every one-say-
in;,*

" Thanks, too, to its ruthless enemies and traducers. Sir
George Bowyer, Mr. B. Cochrane, Mr. Hennessy, and Mr.
Maguire will henceforth rank very high in the list of our
benefactors, for without their provocation so much sym-
pathy could hardly have been elicited from their eloquent
opponents ; Mr. Layard, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Duff, Mr.
Milnes, and Lord Palmerston might hardly have had so
good an opportunity of speaking out, and the House might
have long waited for a chance of so clearly evincing its real
leaning in the question."
The English House of Commons has poured very balm on
the wounds inflicted on Italian feelings by the narrow-minded,
bigoted, j ealous, unrighteous diatribes and invectives launched
in the French Senate and House of Representatives against
an unoffending people, into whose teeth the blood shed at
Magenta and Solferino was thrown with a harshness betray-
ing the intent of turning a blessing into a curse. The cheering
anticipations of two of Queen Vic, oria's advisers with respect
to a speedy and happy solution of the tantalising Roman ques-
tion bring kindly comfort to men worried and disheartened by
that dark, fickle, and crooked policy which hints at the re-
call of Guyon, and ends by the removal of Lavalette. No
doubt the Italians are too wise, most of them, to fancy that
England will wage war against France to bring about by
main force the occupation of their capital. They know well
enough, or they will be clearly told, that the word "hopes"
in English is often merely synonymous with "kind wishes."
They can easily understand what is meant by the " settled
policy" of England—a policy in the wisdom of which they
may be easily made to acquiesce. They are aware, for
their own demagogues of the French school have long been
dinning it into their ears, that England never did, never
will contribute " one man or one shilling" to the triumph
of their cause, but they are not blind to the fact that free
England is the ruler of European opinion, and that a prin-
ciple advocated by the English press, proclaimed in the
British Parliament, is morally sure to prevail in the end.
They have full faith that the real master of the situation
in Italy, he that hesitates between the Pope and Italy—the
Emperor Napoleon—is especially swayed by any voice ris-
ing against him on the other side of the Channel, and bent,
by his own instinct of self-preservation, upon securing the
goodwill of the English nation at any price. It may be
easy for the Pays, the Patrie, or for some Parisian pam-
phleteer to sneer at the "moral support" of England ; but
moral influence is a thousand times stronger than physical
force in the long run, and the Italians feel that when Lord
Palmerston predicted the speedy deliverance of their capital
he spoke words that would not fall to the ground, words
that it would not be easy for the leader of 500,000 bayonets
to resist.

Such are, as I can honestly assure you, and as you will
readily believe, the feelings with which my Italian friends
rise from a perusal of the English Parliamentary debate of
last Friday; and it would do hearty good to any English-
man to see the countenances of these pe,tple beaming with
a gratitude which no words can convey, to hear them
asserting that " England has fully achieved her own share
in the work of their emancipation—that she has in her turn
fought her own Magenta and Solferino in their behalf."
The Deputy Marliani, of Bologna, will in a few days
leave Turin for London, charged with the negotiation of a
treaty of commerce between the English and the Italian
Governments. M. Marliani, a venerable patriot of the
noblest character, is well known to most of the English
lading statesmen. He lived many years in Spain, where
e was a member of the Cortes, whence he was sent to fill
the office of Spanish diplomatic representative at the Court
of St. James's. He was, more lately, a great favourite with
Count Cavour, who took him into his councils during those
transactions which led to the campaign of Lombardy in
1859. M. Marliani accompanied the great Italsn states-
man on his visit to Paris and London at the juncture, and
enjoyed the fullest confidence, not only of the Count, but
also of the most distinguished and influential persons both
in the English Government and in the then Opposition.
The Rattazzi Government undoubtedly continue to show
a disposition to go the right way about the pacification of
the Southern provinces. After appointing General Cosenz
to the Prefecture of Bari, they, as you know, offered the
same office to Bixio in the Basilicata, and it is now added
they harbour a wish to send out General Turr as Prefect at
Naples. It is quite sure that these genertls, as being Gari-
baldi's own men, will be received with enthusiasm in those
districts where the name of the Liberator is the object of
actual worship ; and, at the same time, Cosenz, Bixio, and
Turr, as well as Sirtori, are equally stanch to the cause of
order and of the Monarchy of Victor Emmanuel. They are
men of tact and energy, and well know how to manage
those Southern populations who ask no better
than to have kind-hearted but strong and effi-
cient rulers over them. The only drawback is
that Bixio is said to hesitate about accepting the
offer that was made to him, and nothing is as yet known
about Turr's intentions. Cosenz has already reached Bari,
and has been welcomed with loud cries of " Viva Vittorio
Etrunanuele 1 Viva Gariba;di 1"

Rattaszi himself, who will go to Naples with the King,
is sure of a warm reception, owing to the presumption that
he is on the best terms with Garibaldi, as ha did not vote
for the bill which made over Nice to France, and made the
popular Italian hero a stranger in his own native place.
Garibaldi is expected at Brescia, where preparations are
being made for his arrival. The enthusiasm of all the other
cities of Lombardy will be as nothing to compare with that
of the bravest and most patriotic of all Italian towns.
Garibaldi will find among those far-famed " Brescian
hearts" feelings congenial to his own.
I see in some of the Italian papers serious charges brought
in
against the new Ministers—l know nut on what grounds
—of favouritism and unfairness ill the Promotion of civil
and military officers.
We had here a very early BPring March, and warm
early days of this
weather, almost summer-like, in the
inoinongt.hco,nbtuint
uthecei artaminoss, and we had yesterday a very sharpphere cooled lately in consequence of
and heavy fall of snow, a very unusual phenomenon in
North Italy at this time of the year. All the fruit trees
were already in blossom, and the forest trees were mantled
with green. This morning was
no and bright, but wintry
cold before sunrise.
