pasced between Lord Minto and the Court of Rome
before the House ?

Lord PALMERSTON, in reply, sail the Hon.
Gentleman must be aware that the mission of
Lord Minto to the Court of Rome was entirely
divested of any diplomatic character.—(Laughter.)
He carried with him, however, credentials to the
powers of Sardinia, Florence, and Naples. his inis•
sion, however, being divested of a diplomatic
character, ('id not place him in a position tck be
enabled to lay any correspondence that had talon
place before the House.—(Renewed laughter.)
ITALY.

Dr. BOWRING then rose to move for copies or
extracts of the correspondence on the subject of the
Commercial League of Italy. Italy, notwithstand-
ing all her former grandeur, her learning, her high
position in the scale of nations, and the universality of
her language, continued even now to justify the
words, of the poet—
" Conquering and conquered, still to be a slave."
The Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs
had done justice to that admirable man who was
placed at the head of the Pontifical Government.
His advent to that Government had been a blessing
to Italy. He had exercised all his influence for the
purpose of removing some of the causes of complaint
among the _and he hoped that the
Pontiff, assisted the other Powers, would
be enabled to re4l, ;4 easily the large amount of
grievances so much needed to be removed, not only
in Rome but in Naples. He did not wish this
country to interfere in the internal concerns of other
countries, but that desire not to interfere was not at
all incompatible with the expression of the fullest
sympathy on the part of this country with the op-
pressed against the oppressors. The free-trade
movement of Tuscany seemed also to be fraught with
good to the Italian peninsula. It was a favourable
thing that Rome had been enabled so to control the
Italian mind, as to obtain from them some security
that those principles would not be lost, but that it would
f nally end in a representative system of government.
—(Hear, hear.) But the influence ,of Pius IX.
would pass away no doubt with his life, and it was the
interest of this country to establish upon a permanent
basis the constitutions of the different portions of Italy.
In the free•trade movement of Italy, Sardinia occu-
pied about the same position as Prussia did among
tl e Zollvf rein, and he bad no doubt
that the constitution recently establised there
would prove acceptable to the people. Toscana'
had always been a place of considerable interest, its
influence was widely spread • she had established
the largest portions of the illustrations of Italian
literature. Of Naples he felt bound to speak with
some degree of apprehension ; but be bad no doubt
that the seed sown there would eventually bring .
forth fruit, and the King of Naples, warned by
what he saw going on around him, would, he
had no doubt, finally unite with the other portions of
Italy. With respect to Sicily it must be remem-
bered that although some blood had been shed still this
country was the first to awaken in the bosom
of the Sicilians the love of freedom.—(Hear,
hear.) The name of Lord William Bentinck was
spoken of by the Sicilians with the most perfect rever-
ence, and there was not a Sicilian bosom which did not
heave with anticipation at the time when the Sicilian
people should be consulted on the subject of Sicilian
laws. The idea of a commercial league in Italy
was a most happy thought. With the national
feeling of Italy there was also united a con-
siderable amount of local feeling. The feeling of
the Sicilians was very distinct from the Tuscans,
and the Tuscans from both the Romans and the
Lombards. It would be wise still to cherish
these local feelings. The idea of one united king-
dom in Italy was a perfect chimera, and a dream
which couki be indulged in by no persons who
had really studied the position and feelings of
the inhabitants of the various states of Italy,
The example of Germany should be made the
groundwork of their future commercial regulations,
and then he had no doubt the commercial
glory of Italy would again return. -Genoa,
Leghorn, and Venice, those great marts of corns
coerce would again see a return of those days of
splendour with which their remoter history was as-
sociated. He was not aware whether his Noble Friend
would at present find himself in a condition to make
any communication to the House on the subject, but
of this he was convinced, that the matter might be
safely left in the hands of the Noble Lord; and
therefore, without detaining the House further, he
begged leave to move the motion of which he had
given notice.
Viscount PALMERSTON said that his Hon. Friend
had called the attention of the House to some of the
most remarkable and interesting events which had oc
curred in our time.—(Hear, hear.) It was, indeed, im-
possible for any man to witness the progress which con-
stitational opinions and institutions were making in
Italy without feeling the deepest and liveliest interest
in that progress.-=-(Hear, hear.) Italy was not only
interesting in a very high degree from her peculiar posi-
tion at the present moment, but she was interesting to
us, perhaps even still more, from our cherished and ele-
vating associations with her wondrous story, with ber
rise, her greatness as mistress of the world, and her fall
to almost entire political insignificance—aninsignificanco
from which he fervently hoped she was now about to
emancipate herself.—(hear, hear.) Nor did he merely
hope; he felt confident that a brighter day was now
dawning on Italy.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") The
confidence with which we might look to the
future prosperity of that country was founded on the
gilts which nature had bestowed both on the land and on
its inhabitants. Amid all the political misfortunes to
which the country had been subjected, the natural vigour
of the Italian mind, the extent of its intellectual re-
sources, and, he might say, the splendour of its genius,
had, even in the darkest periods of the political history
of the Italians, shone forth with a brightness which bad
attracted the admiration of the whole civilised world.
It was most gratifying to see that the progress which
national liberty was making throughout Italy was a pro-
gress brought about by the harmonious accord of the
sovereigns and people of Italy—(Hear, hear)—and it was
on that circumstance more especially that he ventured to
found his hope that the ameliorations now proceeding
there would be permanent and stable, for, based upon
mutual compact, they were naturally less likely to be
shaken by future untoward events. The Hon. Member had
adverted to the position of Austria in relation to the events
now passing in the Italian peninsula. It was highly
satisfactory to him, and he was sure it would be no less
gratifying to the House, that he was able to state, that
si far as her Majesty's Government was informed of the
intentions of the Cabinet of Vienna, there was no reason
to apprehend that the policy of that Cabinet would lead
it to any hostile interference with the events which were
now taking place in Italy —(Cheers.) He had, indeed,
within the lest twenty-four hours, received a communi-
cation from our Ambassador at Vienna, which gave very
satisfactory assurances on this head.—(Renewedcheera.)
The course thus indicated was the course naturally to be
expected from the prudence and wisdom of the Austrian
Government; and most happy was he to find such a
course adopted.—(Hear.) With reference to the com-
mercial league of Italy, he should wish his Hon. Friend
and the House to defer asking for the correspondence on
this subject until a more expedient occasion.--(Hear,
hear.) The general principles of that league only were
at present laid down on a broad basis, the details re-
mained to be fixed ; and he felt convinced that it would
only retard the progress of events to produce before the
House the various communications confidentially ex-
changed between the various Courts of Italy and our
Ministers there, as to the various suggestions and propo-
sitions made on the subject.— (Hear, hear.) He could
assure the House that the general principle which seemed
to actuate all parties was in the highest degree favour-
able to the promotion of the commercial prosperity of
Italy on one uniform basis ; and he would add, that so
far as it became the Government and this country to
tender advice, or to express an opinion, the advice was
offered in a spirit of earnest desire to aid in the develop-
ment of that prosperity.—(Hear, hear.) As to the
political changes proceeding in Italy, whatever the feel-
ings of her Majesty's Government on the subject, with
whatever gratification they witnessed the cause of
those political events—(Hear, hear)—they did not
consider it fitting that the British Ministers in the
Peninsula should interfere further than the giving an
opinion when it should be sought by the various Go-
vernments.—(Hear, hear.) And here let him say it was
most gratifying to her Majesty's Government to witness
the perfect confidence with which England was regarded
by the various Italian potentates—(Hear, hear)—to
a marked instance of which he would state that his
Noble Friend, Lord Minto, had proceeded from Rome
to Naples in consequence of the desire expressed by the
Sicilians on the one hand, and by the Goverment of Na-
ples on the other, that the friendly assistance of British
diplomacy should be applied towards the satisfactory
settlement of the points in dispute between them
(Hear, hear.) He was sure that those who were ac-
quainted with Lord Minto would feel that this task,
delicate, and difficult as it might be, could not have been
placed in better hands—(Hear, hear)—and that in any
advice which, at the solicitation of the parties, he might
think himself at liberty to offer, he would be actuated
by the most disinterested but earnest desire to bring
matters to such an adjustment as should be consistent
with the liberty, happiness, and welfare of the people,
and the just dignity and honour of the Crown.—(Hear.)
After a few words from Mr. COCHRANE, expressive
of his approbation of the conduct pursued by her Dda'
jesty's Government in reference to Italy.
Dr. BO WRING consented to withdraw his motion,
and it was accordingly withdrawn.
NATIONAL LAND COMPANY.
Mr. F. O'CONNOI said the Attorney-General having
requested him to postpone his motion respecting the
National Land Company, in order to allow him time to
consider the proposed Bill, he would accordingly past"
pone it until that day fortnight.
Sir G. GREY was not aware that the Attorney-
General had requested this postponement; but, at 411,
events, lie begged it to be understood that the reque.ss
implied no assent on the part of the Government to We
proposed measure.
