COUNT CAVOUR AND BARON WINS

TEA

The following is Baron Winspeare's reply to
Count Cavour

" The occupation of the Realm of the Two Sicilies by the
Piedmontese troops, mimtioned in your Excellency's cora-
munication addressed to mu yeJterday,' is a thiug mani-
festly contrary to the bases of every law and rillht, that it
would seem idle to lose time in demonstrating its illegality:
" Whether we consider the deeds which have preceded
this occupation or the ancient and close ties of kindred and
amity existing between the two Crowns, this invasion is
so strange and new in history that the generous mind of the
King, my august Lord, could hardly be induced to think it
possible ; and in fact, in the Protest which General Casella,
his Minister for Foreign Affairs, addressed from Gaeta on
the 16th of September last to all the Representatives of
friendly Powers, there transpired the confidence of his
Majesty that his Sardinian Majesty never could or would
have sanctioned the acts of usurpation perpetrated under
the aegis of his Royal name in the capital of the Kingdom
of the Two Sicilies.

" It is equally superfluous for me to show to your Excel-
lency how that solemn act, together with several proclama-
tions of my august Sovereign, and with the heroic efforts
sustained under the walls of Capua, give an irresistible con-
tradiction to the strange argument of the de facto abdication
of his Majesty which I, to my surprise, read in tho afore-
said note of your Excellency.

" Anarchy prevailed in his Majesty's dominions, owing to
an overpowering revolution, the future disorders of which
could easily be foreseen by all men from its beginning, and it
was in vain that the King my Lord fora long time proposed to
his Majesty the King of Sardinia to so-operate with him in
holding it in check, to prevent its going beyond all bounda-
ries, and endangering by its excesses the true liberty and
independence of Italy.

"in the fatal hour in which a State of ten millions of
men defends with the sword the last remnant of its histo-
rical self-government it would be idle to inquire by whose
deed that revolution acquired gigantic proportions, and how
it succeeded in carrying into effect the greatest part of its
contemplated disorders.

"In a short time that Divine Providence whose most
holy name was invoked by your Excellency will pronounce
his judgment in the last battles; but whatever may be His
final decree the blessing of Heaven will certainly never rest
upon those who prepare to violate the great principles of
social and moral order, affecting to stand forth as executors
of a divine mission, and public conscience itself, whenever
free from the overbearing power of political passions, will
be able to call by its true name a deed of usurpation which
was begun by cunning and achieved by violence.
" The courteous reception I met with on the part of this
generous and loyal people, whose pleasing memory will be
for ever engraven on my heart, forbids my further proceed-
ing with my vigorous and severe strictures on the acts of
the Government of his Sardinian Majesty; but your Ex-
cellency will understand that a longer residence of his
Sicilian Majesty's representative in Turin would be no less
inconsistent with the dignity of his Majesty than with
international usages.
" While, therefore, I solemnly protest against the said
military occupation, and against any other usurpation of
the sacred rights of his Majesty the King of the kingdom
of the Two Sicilies, undertaken or to be undertaken by the
Government of his Majesty the King of Sardinia; and
while reserving to the King Francis 11., my august lord,
the free exercise of his sovereign power of resisting these
unjust aggressions and usurpations in that manner that may
seem to him fit, and to make those public and solemn acts
which may best contribute to the legitimate defence of his
Royal crown, I prepare to leave this residence as soon as I
shall have put an end to the arrangement of some private
business of his Majesty relating to the succession of his
august mother of holy memory.
" Before quitting Turin I shall have the honour to pre-
sent to your Excellency M. de Martino, Secretary of Lega-
tion, who will remain charged only with conveying to your
Excellency those further communications which the Go-
vernment of the King my Lord may still be disposed to
address to the Government of his Sardinian Majesty.
" Allow me, in the meantime, my Lord Count, to take
leave of your Excellency, thanking you for the courteous
manners which you always used in our personal intercourse,
and renewing the expression of my high consideration.
"BARON WINSPEARE.
" His Excellency Count Cavour, President of the
Council of Ministers, Minister for Foreign
Affairs, &c., Turin."
