opened to circulation on the 7th, another section on
the northern line will be soon at the service of the

public.

" The account of the receipts and expenditure of
the State will be presented to you immediately, and
his Majesty's Ministers will submit to your enlight-
ened examination, among other important measures,
the bills on mortgage credit, administrative reform,
public instruction, organisation of the police of the
whole kingdom, those relative to corn and wines,
consolidation of credit, amelioration in the mode of
collecting the taxes, improvement in the system of
taxation, and, lastly, those relative to the army,
marine, and colonies.
" The Government will render an account to the
Cortes of the use which they shall have made of the
authorisations which have been confided to it, and
of the powers which, under extraordinary circum-
stances, it has considered it indispensable to exercise.

" His Majesty expects from your zeal and tried
devotedness, with the help of Divine Providence,
the energetic and patriotic solicitude which public
wants require from all, the most ardent wish of his

Royal heart being the development, prosperity,
and glory of a nation so worthy of being happy.
" The Session is now opened."

ITALY.

A Turin lettr of the 9th says :

" The review at Milan has given a fresh impulse
to the military spirit. The population loudly
cheered not only the King, but the regiments, and
especially the bersaglieri. The troops reviewed at
Milan were still more numerous than those we have
seen at Turin ; indeed, they formed quite an army.
There were not less than 72 pieces of cannon. The
Italians are all the prouder of their young army,
that it is for them almost a novelty. Except in
Piedmont, Italy has never had any national
army. It is but justice to the Minister of War
to state that, under his energetic impulsion won-
derful progress is being daily made, especially
when we consider the heterogeneous elements
at his dis,,osal. Though a year has not yet
elapsed since the incorporation of the officers of the
Garibaldian army, no traces remain of diversiti,s of
origin. This result is very remarkable. Advices
received from the Capitanate yesterday announce
that the bands which ravage that country have
united and even succeeded in surprising a small
detachment of troops. It is not easy to conceive
what can have induced these bands to relinquish
their system of isolated action, in which lay all their
strength. This will probably be the last flicker of
a flame which we may hope soon to see extinguished
for ever. The Government has already taken its
measures, and from the means at its disposal the
result cannot be doubtful. Brigandage can only be
dangerous when practised by small bands, which
easily esoape pursuit in a country destitute of roads.
It there still remain some little agitation in certain
Parts of the Neapolitan provinces, Sicily is now in a
state of tranquillity which all correspondents agree
to designate as fabulous.' The Sicilians are, active,
intelligent, enterprising, and honest ; but they de-
vote their energies more especially to local affairs,
and are also very vindictive. These are dangerous
qualities for judges. However, the calm which now
prevails in Sicily, after the violent tempests of
barely three months since, is well worthy of espe-
cial notice."
