The King of SARDINIA'S Proclamation to the
people of Southern Italy, which we published in
full last evening, is a document worthy of his posi-

tion. He rises it, of necessity, above the forma.

lities of diplomacy, for he has to deal with a people
and with facts, not with a cunning Minister or
Ambassador, and with plausible lies and inventions.
At the suggestion of a patriot General, who
entered the capital of the Two Sicilies, not by force
of arms, but by the wish of a whole people, who
received him with acclamations VICTOR EM-
MANUEL was by the same acclamations invited to
the throne vacated by the young REIIOBOAM;
since then deputations from public bodies of all
kinds have confirmed the invitation of the first
popular acclaim ; and VICTOR EMMANUEL has
now quite as good ground to accept their in-
vitation as IV ILLIam 111. had to accept that
of the English in 1688. The crisis is
ono for facts, not for formalities, and these latter
must be given to the winds when fundamental
rights are at stake, and when " the people, the
legitimate source of all power," are appealed to.
VICTOR EMMANUEL, with good reason, there-
fore, appeals to what he has been, and to what he
has done, as the ground of what he now does. I
inherit, he says, from a father who bequeathed me,
when dying in exile and of a broken heart, the
cause of Italian liberation ; and his memory has
been my guardian star. I accepted the inheritance;
and in Piedmont, as tho nucleus of national eman-
cipation, I have strengthened liberty of every kind.
I, have cherished representative institutions, free-
°l.m. of commerce, and while respecting the Catholic

The free
press, and free speech, the concord
of sovereign and people, in maintaining civil and
political liberty,
told on the rest of Italy, and the
nation looked
to me to lead it in the march to
freedom. MY share in the Crimean war enabled
my Ambassador to plead your cause for the first
time before all Europe The volunteers who flocked
to my standard in the late war showed that all

parts of Italy regarded me as the leader in fighting
for its emancipation. The acts of those States
which ejected their rulers and united themselves
under my Government showed also their confidence
in the lead of my Government, and I accepted their
request though it cost me two most noble provinces
of my ancestors.
of the kingdom Such very briefly
are the personal claims which the KING Considers
that he has on the confidence of all Italians who
desire that their country should be united, inde-
pendent, and free.
But be has to justify what seems more difficult--
assumitig the reins of Government while the 'late
King of the country has not yet quitted its soil.
He could only say that FRANas 11. had quitte
its capital, but that has been done by Sovereign s
before now, whom Europe yet acknowledged_
What can he say for himself ? Why, first, ths
Congress of Paris condemned the Government o f
FERDINAND, and prepared the people to demani 1
deliverance. Then in Sicily a fight for freedos
began. " A brave warrior, devoted to Italy an' .1
to me," went to their aid. " Could I, ought I,
have prevented them ?" for they were Italians. Tlie
new Government was inaugurated in my name,,
but (if w e translate descriptive into brief and plain
