" Our correspondent at Turin," says the Union,
" informs us that the bull of excommunication of
Victor Emmanuel arrived in the Sardinian capital
on the 16th, and that it was delivered to the 111inio
ster of Justice by the Archiepiscopal pro-Vicar.
The Council of State was immediately consulted,
and the resolution come to was not to prevent the
publication of the bull, but to add to it a declara-
tion of nullity. Our correspondent confirms what
has been already said relative to the annexation
of Savoy and the county of Nice to France—
namely, that the cession of the two provinces
of the kingdom of Sardinia will be made by a
treaty ; that no appeal will be made to the
people by means of universal suffrage ; that th•
municipal and divisional councils will alone ex-
press their opinions, and that the whole will be
announced to Europe by a manifesto of the Pied• ,

-wow esc Governmen.t. The .ic I,:iffes of the arrange-.
mont, Lt.; be entered into arc awi to have bee-ii
definitively decided on."

The Official Gazette of Turin, of the 19th, gives
a detailed account of the reception of M. Farini at
Turin, and of his audience of his Majesty Victor Em-
manuel. The Genoa railway terminus was elegantly
decked out, and tricoloured flags were waving all
along the Piazza Carlo Felice, the Via di Porta
Nuova, the Piazza San Carlo, the Via Nuova and
Piazza Castello, which were lined with national
guards. Chevalier Farini arrived at a quarter past
twelve, where he was received by the syndic and
municipality, and afterwards proceeded in an op en
carriage to the Hotel Trombetta, accompanied by
the cheers of an exulting'multitude. About four p.m.
Marquis Breme, Master of the Ceremonies, arrived
at the hotel, and accompanied Chevalier Farini
to the Royal Palace. The King was seated on his
throne with the Prince of Carignan by his side, and
surrounded by the Knights of the Order of the
Annunciation, the Ministers, the Presidents of the
Council of State, and other high functionaries.
Chevalier Farini spoke as follows :

" Sire !—I have the honour to deposit into your
Majesty's hands the legal documents of Universal
Suffrage of the people of the Emilian Provinces.
May your Majesty, who mercifully heard their
cries of grief, now graciously receive their pledge
of gratitude and faith. Their legitimate wishes
being fulfilled, those populations, Sire, will have no
other desire save that of deserving well of your
Majesty and Italy, by emulating the other peoples
of your constitutional Monarchy in their civil and
military virtues."
His Majesty then delivered the speech already
given by telegraph, and affixed his signature
to the decree of annexation. This act was an-
nounced to the public by a salvo of 101 guns, who
responded by enthusiastic cheers of " Viva it Re !
Viva l'Unione !" The King appeared on the bal-
cony of the palace, and was greeted with vehement
applause. Chevalier Farini was afterwards re-
escorted to the hotel amid the acclamations of the
multitude.

A Turin letter of the 18th says :
" General Fanti will probably be promoted to
the rank of marshal, as well as General de Lamar-
mora. General Fanti will leave certainly the Mi-
nistry of War, and take the command of all the
troops of Central Italy. An attache of our em-
bassy at Constantinople, who was here on leave,
has lately left in great haste and most unexpectedly
for his post. It is supposed that his departure is
connected with a project of making General Du-
rando, the Sardinian Ambassador to the Sultan,
Minister of War, an office which he held during
the war in the Crimea. All the difficulties relating
to She annexation are so nearly terminated that
orders have been given to have everything in
readiness for the opening of the Chamber on the
2d April, instead of the 12th, which was the time
fixed some days ago."
The following is the text of the King of Sar-
dinia's decree for the annexation of Parma, Mo-
dena, and Romagna, collectively called the Emilian
Provinces :

" VICTOR EMMANUEL 11., King of Sardinia,
Cyprus, and Jerusalem, &c., &c.,
" Whereas the result of the Universal Suffrage
taken in the Emilian Provinces shows that it is
the general wish of those populations to be united
to our State;

" Having heard our Council of Ministers, we have
decreed, and do hereby decree as follows

" Art. L—The Emilian Provinces shall form an
integral part of the State from the date of the pre-
sent decree.

" Art. ll.—The present decree shall be presented
to Parliament in order to be converted into a law.
Our Ministers are charged with the execution of
the present decree, which, stamped with the seal of
the State, shall be inserted in the collection of the
aets of the Government, and published in the Emi-
lian Provinces.

" Given at Turin, on the 18th of March, 1860.

" VICTOR EMMANUEL."
(Countersigned) " The President of the Council,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and provisionally
entrusted with the Ministry of the Interior,
" C. CAVOUR.
