the Court of Appeal, at Chambery.

TURIN, MARCH 11.

Baron Talleyrand has delivered to Count Cavour
another despatch of M. Thouvenel, which replies to
Count Cavour's despatches of the Ist and 3d inst.
M. Thouvenel points out the essential difference
which exists between the question of the annexa-
tion of Tuscany to Piedmont and that of the an-
nexation of Savoy to France, and says that the prin-
cipal difficulty which opposes the first is to obtain
the recognition by Europe, which has guaranteed
the possession of Tuscany to the dynasty of Lor-
raine. In the latter this difficulty disappears in
the presence of the arrangement between France
and Sardinia relative to the spontaneous cession of
Savoy; consequently the Emperor of the French
requests the regulation of the question of Savoy by
a simple cession, to be settled by mutual consent,
and without having recourse to universal suffrage.
M. Thouvenel thinks that to become acquainted
with the wish of the country it would suffice to con-
sult the municipalities of Savoy.

As regards the annexation of Tuscany, M
Thouvenel repeats that France could not follow
Piedmont in
.a perilous course. If King Victor
Emmanuel accepts the annexation of Tuscany, he
would necessarily remain exposed to the risks of
such a policy without being able to reckon upon
the support of France.

vinces. The Modenese clergy have addressed a
petition to the Governor, expressing their wish for
annexation to Piedmont. The clergy of Piacenza
have transmitted an address to the Intendant-Ge-
neral, accompanied by a letter to the King, in
which they say that the duty of the clergy is to
give an example in acts of patriotism.

PARIS, MARCH 11.

The reply of the Holy See to the last proposals
of France has arrived here. The Pope declines the
proposition to confine within an exclusive political
compass a question •which, as it concerns the in-
tegrity of the patrimony of St. Peter, is intimately
bound up with the independence of the Church.
Although decidedly rejecting the -proposition to
create a Vicariate of the Romagna in favour of a
foreign Sovereign, his Holiness shows himself dis-
posed to enter into the path of reform on condition
that the integrity of the States of the Church is
guaranteed.
