taken to organize a permanent Government, in conse-
quence of the differences which had arisen among the
diplomatists at Gaeta.
OPENING OF THE SARDINIAN CHAM•
BERS—SPEECH FROM THE THRONE.

The Piedmonteae Gazette publishes the following
speech, pronounced by the King of SARDINIA on the
opening of his Parliament, on the 30th ult.:—
Signori Senatori, Signori Deputati,
" The labour which the State calls upon you to accom-
plish in this session is serious and difficult, but for this
very reason it is honourable above all. By effecting it
with firmness and prudence, you will require an indis-
putable right to the gratitude of the c,,untry which
expects so much from you. The trials of fortune
which to ordinary and weak minds produce nought
but damage, may to bold hearts be transformed
it:tto benefit and profit. A courageous people acquires
maturity in the schosl of adversity. The efforts it
snakes to extticate itself frern a difficult position teach it
t,) distinguish reality from illusion, and to exercise the
rarest rei well as most fruitful virtue of public lite, perse-
v t,rance. I invite you to display it, and I myself, guided
b y the great estamples of my forefathers, will be the first
ti) give proof of it. I invite you to display that serene
a:id intelligent fortitude, which has saved so many
gE nerous nations. It is the essence of representative go-
v,a rements that there should be cliff-rent opinions and
p Ealies; but there are questions of such vital importance,
there are OCCA:i ms in w hieh the danger to public intr..
roosts is so great, that itis only possible to seek safety in
the oblivion of party passions and personal dissensions.
Swell is this occasion; the conclusion of negotiations with
Austria appears near at hand; when they will be con-
cluded. Parliament shall be apprised of it by my Ministers,
tieid will discuss that part of it wh'ch the statute calls
upon it to examine. I invite you, gentlemen, to apply
tosuch discussion that practical wisdom which the ac-
tual state of Italy and France requires. It is honourable
for those who commit themselves to fortune to accept
hi: r decisions with manliness. Our relations with foreign
powers are generally friendly, or on the point of becom-

foreign one, in order to repair the losses caused by the
late reverses. Order, amelioration, and economy are
the effects which the laws that will be submitted to
you have in view. Their object will be the
organisation of the army, in order to correct
the evils which unrelenting experience has ren-
dered evident; the reorganization of the Council of
State; the reform of some parts of our civil and penal
code, in order to place them in harmony with our poll-
titml institutions, and to give being to the legal and poli-
tie:•.al equality proclaimed by the statute. You will also
be, called upon to discuss some other propositions, in-
tended to introduce the improvements required by the
ti::aes in various departments of the public administra-
tion. I especially recommend to your attention those
in !ended to satisfy the meat urgent want of our times,
popular education. The condition of our public
fin ances requires the greatest care on your part. We
must provide for the actions necessities of the pre-
scat, and at the same time establish a financial
system calculated to maintain unimpaired the high
en dit Piedmont has always enjoyed. I trust that
ml' government will be able, by your efficient aid,
by introducing all possible improvements in every part
of the public service, to gain both ends, without aggra-
vating the people too much. If the rules of the severest
economy are imposed upon ti.; by our present condition,
they must not extend to the great works of public utility,
which by rendering the resources of the state produc-
tire, give incomparably greater fruits than the sacrifices
they require. Yuu will not therefore look upon as inex-
pedient the proposal which will be laid before you
to complete the net of railways begun, from which in-
calculable advantages will be obtained, besides the not
lensimportant. moral one of st reegthening the bonds of s) m-
