SAVOY AND NICE.

Mr. KINGLAKE then brought forward his motion,
which was iu the following terms :--" Address for copies
of the correspondence which had taken place between her
Majesty's Government and the Government of the Emperor
of the French and the King of Sardinia, in respect to the pro-
posal for annexing Savoy and Nice to the Empire of France."
He contended that the proposed annexation was at va-
riance with the wishes of the provinces in question,
and would materially and injuriously affect the
interests of Switzerland. .He alluded. to a parte
de famille entered into between the Emperor of the French
and the King of Sardinia which he believed to have really
taken place prior to the marriage of the Princess
Clothilde, to show that the annexation in question
was an idea for some time entertained by the
Emperor of the French. lie did not believe that they
should rely too strongly on the statement of the Emperor
of the French, that he would consult the wishes of the
great Powers of Europe before he took any step in re-
gard to the proposed annexation. The question involved
not only the interests of Italy, but of all Europe, .and he
repeated what he had previously said, that in bringing for-
ward his motion he was not actuated by any feeling of hos-
tility to her Majesty's Government.
Sir It. PEEL seconded the mo,ion, and denounced the
proposed annexation as an innovation dangerous to the
comity of nations, which should be at once arrested or
sanctioned, in order to prevent future hostility between the
Powers of Europe. He
gave the Government credit for
a desire to improve the commercial relations of England
with other countries ; but it was an extraordinary fact
that on-the very day the treaty was signed the Emperor of
the French put forward his claims for Savoy. (Hear.)
Was this commercial treaty only a sop to enable
the Emperor of the French to carry out his schemes
of personal aggrandisement, and he called on the Govern-
ment to give a denial that night to any such supposi-
tion. (Hear, hear.)
