AFF-AIRS OF ITALY.

Lord LYNDHURST called the attention of the
house an.d the Gevertiment to the affairs of Italy. and
asked the noble earl at the head of the Foreign. Depart
meet whether he was prepared to lay en the table the
correspondence which had taken place between the prin-
cipal European Governments in respect to the affairs of
Italy. As far as regarded Naples, he feared the corres-
pondence had ended in no very satiefactory result. He
was induced to come to that opinion by what had passed
recently in that part of Europe.' He found that the
most dreadful restrictions were kept up-- that eve❑
priests and other members of religion were exposed to
great persecution, and even threatened with the inflic-
tion of the lash if they did not consent to give evidence
in certain political trials. It appeared to him that this
system of persecution was but a duplicate of proceedings
that had taken place in the trial of Paeriot of which the
right hon. gentleman the member for the University of
Oxford (Mr. Gladstone) had given so graphic a descrip-
tion. It appeared to him that the whole of the Govern-
ment of Naples was in the bands of her police agents,
spies,,and informers, and that the situation of affairs in
that part of Italy was truly deplorable. He wished then
to know whether the noble earl was prepared to lay on
the table copies of the communications which had taken
place between her Majesty's Government and the Nea.
politan Government, or the other European Govern-
ments, in respect to the affairs of Italy
The Earl of CLARENDON said he wag not then
prepared to lay upon the table the correspondence
which had taken place between her Majesty's Govern-
ment and the European governments - in respect to
the affairs of Italy. The correspondence was net yet
concluded. No answer had as yet been received to
the despatch which had been communicated by her
Majesty's Government in conjunction with that of the
French Emperor to the Neapolitan Government. It
appeared that at the time the despatch had arrived the
King of Naples was absent from his city. He, how-
ever, returned in a few days, and he had reason to believe
that that answer would be received very soon. Until
that reply had been received, the noble and learned lord
would uuderstand that it would be altogether premature
to lay the correspondence upon the table of the house.
In re pest to the correspondence that had taken place
hetween her Majesty's Government and the other Euro-
pean Governments in regard to the affairs of Itay, it
VMS true her Majesty's Government had off-red opinions
and advice to those governments whose armies occupied
a porti of the Papal States. (Rear, he .r.) But he
did not think that the cause which they tai at heart
would be at all served by the production of the corres
pondence. He believed that the only result of so doing
would be to check that friendly and contilential tone of
oorresp mdence that was now going on. The noble and
learned lord might, however, accept the answer that
everything would be done by her Majesty's Go-
vernment to bring about the desired result in Italy.
He believed the.. he might add that both. France and
Austria had declared their willingness. to withdraw their
troops from the Papal States as soon as certain condi-
dons were aurre I to.
Lord LYNDHURST asked whether it was possible
beture the termination of the session that the correspon-
dence weu.d be produced T
The E►rl ..f CLARENDON could not say ; but the
noble and learned lord would have plenty of opportuni-
ties of repeating his question.
THE OATH OF ABJURATION BILL.

The Earl of Derby said it was not bi,4 intention, in
consequerce of the course taken by the noble and learned
lord at that late period of the session, of proceeding fir-
ther with his bill.
After some conversation the order of the day was read
and discbstrized,
