SAVOY AND MOIL

Lord J. RUSSELL laid on the table the correspondence
relative to the annexation of Savoy and Nice. The noble
lord, in reply to several questions, said, with respect to a
treaty between France and Sardinia relative to any annexa-
tion of these provinces, her Majesty's Government had no
information of such treaty, and he did not believe it existed.
He had stated on a former occasion that the Emperor of
the French had promised he would not take any steps in
reference to the annexation in question without consulting
the great Powers of Europe. He could not do better than
quote the words of the Emperor in the speech he had just
delivered

" Looking to this transformation of Northern Italy,
which gives to a powerful State all the passes of the Alps,
it was my duty, for the security of our frontiers, to claim the
French slopes of the mountains. This reassertion of a claim
to a territory of small extent has nothing in it of a nature to
alarm Europe and give a denial to the policy of disinte-
restedness which I have proclaimed more than once, for
France does not wish to proceed to this aggrandisement,
however small it be, either by military occupation or by
provoked insurrection, or by underhand maneauvres, but
Tfrankly explaining the question to the Great Powers.
ey will doubtless understand in their equity, as France
would certainly understand it for each of them under
similar circumstances; that the important territorial re-
arrangement which is about to take place gives us a right
to a guarantee indicated by nature herself."
The Emperor of the French must be the best interpreter of
his own views, and he (Lord J. Russell) had nothing to
add to what the speech contained in reference to this matter.
It was the opinion of the Emperor and of the French
Government that the creation of a large State in Central
Italy would have the effect of placing France in a worse
position than she at preient occupied, for, in case of war,
she might be invaded most disadvantageously on the side
of Savoy and Nice. France had contributed very largely
towards the prosecution of the war in Italy, and she con-
sidered, and he thought not unjustly, that she
might ask for a more secure frontier on the side of the
Alps. (Hear, hear.) He repeated, that the Emperor of
the French had declared that he did not intend to proceed
to effect the annexation without previously consulting the
views of the other great Powers of Europe. (Hear, hear.)
He (Lord J. Russell) could not go beyond that declaration,
Lit he inferred that, if it were the unanimous or even gene".
ral feeling of the great Powers of Europe, that the annexa-
tion was not desirable, and might endanger the security at
the peace of the continent, that the Emperor of the French
would not proceed to carry out any views he entertained
relative to the matter. With regard to the views of her
Majesty's Government they were contained is the corre-
spondence laid on the table.

In reply to several questions,
Lord PALMERSTON said that the trustees of the
British Museum considered that instead of purchasing
ground in the immediate neighbourhood of the build''ng to en.
large it so as to adapt it for containing the collection
in
tion, they should select some other place for the reception of.
that collection. It was determined, therefore, to
remove the lighter articles to some other place,
which, however, had not yet been selected. Wilt
regard to the memorial respecting the papal territory, he
had received such a document signed most numerously and
respectably by Irish noblemen and others, but he could not
de more than acknowledge its receipt. He could state that
the policy which the Government intended to pursue was
to allow the Italians to settle their own affairs. (Cheers.)
As related to Captain M'Clintock and the crew of
the Fox, there was no fund applicable to rewarding
them ; but if the Parliament thought fit to vote any special
amount for such purpose, the Government would not throw
any obstacle in the gratification of their generous feeling.
(Hear, hear.) He thought -it would be desirable that a
monument should be erected to commemorate Sir J. Frank •
lin and the sufferings of those who had been engaged in
the Arctic 'expedition.
