SZERELMEY'S SILICAT ZOPISSA.

The damp climate of this country and the smoky
atmosphere of our great towns are such formidable
adversaries to the architectural details of our prin-
cipal buildings, that any process by which their de-
structive effects can be arrested possess a general
interest and importance. It is, therefore, unneces-
sary to make any apology for introducing to public
notice the method by which M. Szerlemey has
effectually stopped the progress of decay in the
stonework of the New Houses of Parliament. His
specific has now been tested by an experience of
four years, and bids fair to be permanently success-
ful. It is certainly very superior to any other, as
may readily be verified by a personal inspection of
the vast structure to which it has now been par-
tially applied. There may be seen on the river face of
the Palace the rival processes of various inventors,
that of M. Szereimey being manifestly the only one
hitherto adopted which seems able to arrest theloxi-
dation so painfully at work all over the stonework.
This is effected, too, without blemishing in any way
either the natural colour of the stone or even effac-
ing the traces of the mason's chisel, so that, while
the object sought is accomplished, the general ap-
pearance of th;) fabric is entirely preserved and even
heightened, as if by the influence of a permanent
cesmetic. M. Szerelmey's process casehardens the
exterior of buildings, rendering them waterproof
and impervious to the soot which makes itself so
disagreeably conspicuous all over London. Rain,
not being absorbed by the stone, washes its surface
and keeps it clean. Moreover, all the delicate de-
tails of carving can now be preserved. and thus the
immense sups which have been, as soeue think,
wastefully expended upon the architectural jecora-
lion of the new palace need not be so entirety lost
as the rapid progress of decay had led most people
to anticipate. M. Szerelmey's process is to be ap-
plied to the entire building, the courts which have
been already treated furnishing satisfactory evi-
dence not only of its indurating virtue but of its
preserving the cleanliness and the natural ap-
pearance of the stone surfaces. It is to be
hoped that in the future selection of building
material for national edifices care -a ill be taken not
to choose one so constituted as to be readily acted
upon by atmospheric agencies, such as damp and
the gases given off from surrounding chimneys large
and small: It is to be hoped, also, that we may
not soon have a repetition of such folly as that of
granting immunity even for a term from the provi-
sions of the Smoke Prevention Act to the.Lambeth
Potteries, situated between the New Houses and
the south-west, and so close at hand that the pre-
vailing wind from that quarter fails not to give our
legislators constant and abundant lessons on their
own want of discretion. When, however, every-
thing has been done that can be done to preserve
the beauty of our buildings, there will still in this
humid climate and this country of great coal burn-
ing cities be ample scope for the use of such pro-
cesses as that of M. Szerelmey. Unfortunately for
us he keeps his a secret, being unwilling to trust to
the security of our patent law for protection against
the race of infringers, who, in his opinion, would be
certain to arise if from his specification they could
ascertain his modus operandi. There is probably
some foundation for this fear, a chymical invention
being, from its very nature, a difficult one to cover
by a patent. Yet, M. Szerelmey is so far frank
and open-mouthed as to let us know how and where
he acquired the art of which he makes such good
practical use, to tell us in a general way what his
process is, and to point out the varied prospective
purposes to which it may be applied, not only in
the treatment of stone and cements of every kind,
but with iron, with wood, with paper, and other
substances. He is a Hungarian, and served in
early life as an officer of Engineers in the Austrian
army. While thus employed he was sent to
Egypt to study the great monuments of antiquity,
which 30 years ago were beginning to excite the
learned curiosity and research of Europe. Im-
pressed not only by the grandeur but by the extra-
ordinary durability of what he saw, M. Szerelmey
appears to have given his mind up to the study
of the causes by which the ancients succeeded in
investing their works with this latter characteristic.
He seems to have investigated with particular care
their encaustic and zopissa processes. He considers
that the ancients employed the former in various
forms and with varying ingredients wherever
they wanted to preserve timber, stone, or other
surfaces against destroying atmospheric influences,
and that the importance which they attached to
it was much more on account of its utility in this
way for architectural and ship-building purposes
than for its application to the art of painting.
So also with zopissa, which the Phoenicians and
Egyptians, and after them the Greeks and Ro-
mans, extensively used as a preventive to decay
in their merchant vessels and men-of-war. Study
and reflection thus led M. Szerelmey to seek for
a substance the elements of which would com-
bine so intimately with the material to be pro-
tected as to resist the natural tendency of its
particles to separate and disintegrate. Such a
substance he at length succeeded in producing in
a liquid form, giving it the name of silicat zop-
issa. He keeps to himself the secret of its corn•
position, but states that it is simple and inex-
pensive, and these two excellent qualities may be
regarded as established in its favour., since when
once made any unskilled labourer can apply it,.
and the cost of its use in the New Houses, when
compared with the importance of the object se-
cured, cannot be regarded as considerable. Though
capable of application to metallic surfaces, and
arresting oxidation in them effectually, where
they are not exposed to friction, and though ex-
tremely useful in such cases as that of the Clock
Tower, where a large amount of gilt decoration
exists upon a groundwork of iron, the silicat
zopissa is less permanent in its effects upon metal
than upon more open and porous substances, such
as wood and stone. These it effectually indurates
and renders waterproof ; on paper, also, it acts
wonderfully, and modifications of it on calico, cloth,
moleskin, and similar fabrics are capable of being
worked up into most surprising imitations of the
varieties of dressed leather. M. Szerelmey
claims for his invention a startling variety of
uses, all feasible enough probably, but which, of
course, must be practically testedinstbeterifeiolsrtteiinietgyheaayifi.eceaslndo

of speculation, that it may be worth while to glance
at some of them. Take the naval architecture
view of the matter, and he offers so to prepare
the timber used in the construction of ships as to
dispense with the necessity for copper bottoms, and
to make the various forms of decay impossible. He

application of means he would have portable houses
made of zopissa paper, houses well adapted to the
wants of the colonist and the campaigner, and much
required by both. He makes paper pipes that will
not break under a sudden jar, like those vaunted by
Mr. Gladstone. He shows zopissa bricks made of
chalk and sand, which, without having ever been
fired, are as strong as the best Stourbridge ; and
applying the same specific, with Some modifications,

to calico and moleskin, he produces many excellent
varieties of leather cloth, very superior indeed to
the ordinary leather cloth of commerce. Whatever
value may attach to these suggestions, they are too
much in the broad track along which recent inven-
tion has been successfully travelling not to command
attention. The prodigious impulse given in the pre-
sent day to industry by the varied appliances of new
plastic materials, like indiarubber and gutty percha,
hopefully indicates what may be got from zopissa
when the secret of its composition is known. While
locked up in the breast of a Hungarian refugee that
secret cannot be turned to much valuable account;
and when we consider the difficulties which beset
every new scheme in this China of the West, the
only wonder• is that, under all the circumstances,
it has made so good a start as to have been recog-
nised as the best means for preserving from prema-
ture decay the architectural details of the, great pile
in which the wisdom of Parliament has been so ex•
pensively enshrined.— Times.

THE ITALIAN _PARLIAMENT.

TURIN, OCT. 12.

After the speech of the Deputy Ferrari, in yes.
terday's sitting in the House of Deputies, Count
Cavour rose and said :

Gentlemen,—lf I had entertained any doubt as
to the opportunity of the determination the King's
Government has come to of calling Parliament toge-
ther with a view to lay before you for deliberation
the conditions of the country,_and obtain your vote
as to the direction to be given'lo public affairs, that
doubt would have been entirely removed by the
discussion which continues after four days ; for I
think we must all feel that this debate has removed
many fears, cleared many doubts, and greatly re-
conciled men's minds and hearts. Gentlemen, in
sooth, the distance which one could think sundered
the parties in this Chamber has been greatly nar-
rowed, so that I can almost assert that, with one
splendid exception (Ferrari), all agree as to the
necessity of promoting the immediate manifestation
of the votes of the Italian people. lam glad to be
able to do this justice to the members who rose to
oppose this bill; Even those who spoke with the
most excited voice, even the Hon. M. Mellana him-
self, hastened to declare that the entrance of the
King and of our troops into the Neapolitan territory
so materially modifies the state of affairs that he
also acknowledges the expediency of no longer put-
ting off the manifestation of that vote. If, there-
fore, any dissent exists among us it is only as to the
way Government proposes to follow in order to bring
about this annexation ; and it was on this point
that the Cabinet appealed to the vote of the Cham-
ber as to the political direction they have given to
public affairs. The main argument to which our
hon. opponents resorted to censure the Government
was that the way proposed by it was open to con-
tradiction with the precedents of the ./Enailian and
Tuscan votes of last year. It seemed strange that
we should now advise a system which had not been
adopted with regard to those two noble provinces.
Some of the orators who preceded me, especially
my friends the Hon. Minghetti and Galeotti, met
that objection, and proved that if the annexation of
Tuscany and /Emilia was not accomplished imme-
diately after the deliverance of those provinces, it
was not the fault of those people nor of the illustri-
ous citizens called by them to rule their destinies.
I must say, for my own part, that if that annexa-
tion was not immediately brought to pass, neither
was the King's Government to blame for the delay.
Here I speak not merely for the Ministers who now
have the management of public affairs, but also for
those whom we have succeeded (the Rattazzi Mi-
nistry). Truly, gentlemen, was it possible imme-
diately after the Peace of Villafranca, and while the
negotiations of Zurich were still pending, that Go-
vernment should accept the votes of the Tuscans
and the /Emilians asking for immediate annexation ?
it you reflect on the condition the Country 'win,
not only with respect to Au3tria, but also to France,
you must acknowledge that the answer given by the
King at Turin to the deputations from Tuscany and
the Duchies, and at Milan to those of the Legations,
was neither a timid nor a cautious act; which, in-
deed, reached the extreme limit, beyond which it
would have become rashness. If Government could
not accept the annexation on the eve of the Treaty of
Zurich, neither could it do so on the morrow of that
important transaction,. Nevertheless, the times were
becoming more favourable; but there arose in Europe
a proposal, for some time cherished by all the great
Powers, of a European Congress, which was to meet
on the basis of non-intervention proclaimed by two
of them—a basis, that is, acknowledging the legi-
timacy of the vote of the Italians. So long as
this Congress was expected to assemble on terms
which one might hope would be favourable to Italy,
it would have been no prudence ; nay, it would
have been folly, to hurry on that annexation which
the Governments 'most benevolent to us advised us
to put off. When all the chances of a Congress were
at an end, the Ministers then in power (Rattazzi)
determined to send a mission to London and Paris
to hasten the annexation. I could not blame that
act, as I at that juncture accepted to be the repre-
sentative of our Government in those two great
capitals. The mission had no effect; a Ministerial
crisis then occurred, which, as I may truly affirm
without fear of contradiction, did not arise from
causes relating to our foreign policy, but merely
from matters belonging to our home government.
I shall allude no further to these matters, because
in these solemn moments, far from wishing to revive
those recollections, I only wish I had the power to
efface them from all men's minds. (Prolonged ap-
plause.) The new Cabinet hastened to promote that
annexation; but as it met with serious obstacles on
the part of diplomacy, it seemed a wise course to
associate the Parliament in its accomplishment.
, When therefore the Dictators of Tuscany and /Emi-
lia appealed to a Plebiscite, the King's Government
invited them to proceed immediately to the election
of the deputies of these provinces, inviting them to
sit in this house. By doing this, gentlemen—l de-
clare it openly—we departed from strict legality,
we ventured on an unconstitutional act. We had
not by right the power to ask the deputies of /Emilia
and Tuscany to sit in Parliament, to deliberate toge-
ther with the representatives of the old provinces
and Lombardy, as to the annexation of these new
central provinces. Your vote, however, unanimously
sanctioned this illegality. If to ensure the annexa-
tion of Southern Italy it were necessary to commit
other illegal acts, I have no doubt that the whole
Cabinet, though we number among us two learned
' jurisprudents, zealous, high priests of Themis—
(laughter)—would take upon themselves the re-
sponsibility of the new breaches of legality; but,
thank Heaven, this necessity does not exist. I
will not say that the annexation of Southern Italy
may meet with no obstacles ; but they are of a
different nature from those of last year. It is
not necessary that this great act should be conse-
crated by the deputies of all Italy, as there is no
such necessity; we deem it more in keeping with
the spirit of our institutions, and more conducive to
their development, if we proceed legally, and if,
when the people of Southern Italy are called upon
in the popular comitia to, deliberate oh their annexa-
tion, the deputies of the old provinces, including
'Emilia and Tuscany, should give their previous
vote on this momentous question. Neither am I
moved by the argument urged by some members,
that we depart from legality if we vote a treaty as
yet not concluded; because gentlemen, we ask for
no latitude as to the terms of the treaty. You know
what this treaty to be. It is the unconditional
annexation of the South Italian people. We can-
not depart a single iota from those words occurring
in the bill. If, therefore, gentlemen, you do not
sanction a treaty already made, you give the Exe-
cutive power a positive invariable rule for the
treaty to be entered into; and you must observe
that by this system you not only authorise the Go-
vernment to promote this annexation, but settle in
a solemn and unshaken manner this fact—that you
wish it without conditions. Although Ido not
, exaggerate the forces of the Municipal party in

Naples and Sicily, and lim!,t them to a few, though
distinguished individuals, yet this solemn vote of
the Italian Parliament will render far easier, far
less debatable, this point on which the people of
South Italy will be called upon to give their vote.
I think I have sufficiently demonstrated that the
objection of honourable opponents, as grounded
on the precedents of last year, is groundless.
I have now to examine the second—far more
delicate—point, that of referring to the vote
of confidence. (Movements of attention.) Some
orators, gentlemen, and especially one whom I do
not see in his place, the Hon. Sineo, have to some

extent urged that when the Ministers appeal to
you for your judgment upon the policy by them
followed, they wish to set the Chamber in judg-
ment, not upon themselves, but upon Gen. Gari-
baldi, and by his demeanour and by his words it
would seem us if the hon. member has constituted
himself into a defender of the illustrious General,
brought before the bar of this house on his trial.
Such, gentlemen;was certainly not our intention.

Far from showing any want of respect to General
Garibaldi, by bringing before the house the ques-
tion of confidence, we think we have paid him the

I am confident that the men s
benches, no matter to what part
of the country they belonged to, would give this de
mend an answer worthy of the descendants of Pierre
Capponi. (Long and loud applause.) Doubts were
started, explanations were asked upon two painful,
but delicate subjects—Rome and Venice. I could
intrench myself behind reasons of State, and keep
silent. I could say to the House, " Since we agree
upon what is before us to-day, why should be busy
ourselves with the contingencies of a distant mor-
row ?" But, gentlemen, this is the age of publi-
city. I think it best that Governments and Parlia-

greatest homage that ever could be shown to a
citizen. A profound dissent has arisen between the
General and the Cabinet. (Hear, hear.) We had
not provoked this dissent, and if reasons of public
-service had not removed from his place in this house
an illustrious Admiral (Persano), to take the com-
mand of his squadron, he could bear witness to the
spirit with which our instructions, both official and
confidential, given to him when he set out for
Palermo, were dictated. Not only did the Cabinet
not provoke this dissent, but they did all in their
power to keep it from the knowledge of the coun-
try. We dissembled it as long as it was practica-
ble, but when a pubic writing, when a mission to
some extent solemn, showed that his dissent existed,
the King's Government thought that this was a
sufficiently serious circumstance to entail upon them
the duty of referring to Parliament the question
whether that dissent modified the judgment by
them pronounced a few months before respecting
our policy. Such a proceeding, I think, far from
being injurious, is highly honourable to General
Garibaldi. (Bravo !) What, for the rest, could the
Ministers have done ? Take no notice of this dis-
sent, and go on reckoning that the confidence of
Parliament could not fail them, and that the latter
did not share Gen. Garibaldi's opinions as to the
policy of the Government ? It would have been a
dangerous course, and we would have been reproved '
by our opponents for not consulting Parliament in
such a serious emergency. To do away with the dis-
sent there was another means, and it was suggested
by the Hon. M. Mellana ; it was to resign our offices;
for then we " should have lost power, but achieved
greatness." Such were his words, and the advice
was not so bad ; but it is only faulty with respect
to the epoch it refers to ; we were concerned by a
dissent between the Dictator of the Two Sicilies
and the Ministry, and not only had we endeavoured
to avoid it, but also strove in order that the breach
might not widen. Truly, gentlemen, in the last days
in August, when the Dictator was still far from
Naples, when this dissent was not yet certain,
though probable, the Ministers considered its pos-
sibility, and the consequences such a dissension
might have. We then came to the unanimous reso-
lution to inform the Crown that the news we re-
ceived from the camp brought us the painful cer-
tainty that the men, who, agreeably to the expres•
sion of the Hon. M. Chiaves, " poured gall and vine-
gar upon the sore heart of the illustrious general,"
had far greater influence than those deserving citi-
zens, although his friends, who made vain efforts
to heal his heart's wounds. We then showed the
King thn gorions ennsPriunnonq of these eventualities
and declared that it was perhaps expedient to pre-
vent theM, not by a change of policy, for this we
could never have advised, but rather opposed it with
all our might, but with a change of persons. After
mature deliberation the King declared a change of
Ministers, in the absence of the Chambers, and
without an ostensible political motive, would have
been an act greatly weakening the Government at
home as well as abroad. His Majesty therefore in-
vited the Ministers to remain in their places. They
obeyed without hesitation the voice of the high-
minded Sovereign, and continued to hold office,
hoping that the dreaded dissent would not ooze out.
But it became matter of public talk, and we had not
the means to prevent that. At that moment it was
no longer in our power to tender our resignation,
because, gentlemen, I repeat it, if the Crown, upon
the demand of a private man, however highly distin-
guished and well-deserving of the country, were to
change his advisers, a grievous and, I would say, mor-
tal wound would be dealt to the constitutional sys-
tem. (Bravo!) Nor is it just to say that Garibaldi is
not a General like Gen. Fanti or Gen. Cialdini. I
acknowledge that General Garibaldi is in different
conditions ; but, gentlemen, if he is a Dictator in
Naples, he is also here a citizen who has sworn to
the constitution, as we did. (Hear.) As we were
no longer empowered to resign our office, we had no
other resource than to assemble Parliament. We did
so under conviction that, far from widening the
breach and rendering it irreparable, it was the only
means of putting an end to it. By coming freely to
you, gentlemen, to reveal the existence of that dif-
ference, and calling for a vote of the Chamber, 'not
upon General Garibaldi's conduct but upon our
policy, we shall obtain either that your vote goes
-against us, and then the Ministerial crisis will occur,
but only agreeably to the great constitutional prin-
ciples, and in this hypothesis the change of Minis-
try not only does not affect those principles, but
rather confirms them ; or your suffrage is favourable
to us, and then we feel confident that it may exer-
cise a great influence on the mind of Gen. Garibaldi.
(Hear.) We feel confident that he will rather be-
lieve the representatives of the nation than those
evil ones (" tristi"—sad ones, spoken with great
emphasis), who endeavour to part men who have for
many years worked together for the triumph of the
national cause. (Applause.) If you grant us your
vote, we still, actuated by the same spirit of conci-
liation which we have evinced hitherto, and animated
by the generous words which were addressed to us,
not only by our political friends, but by those in
whom we might have expected to find opponents,
animated by these feelings (spoken with great
warmth), we shall meet General Garibaldi, and
showing him the order of the day proposed by your
Commission, which we accept with all our hearts,
and at the same time pointing to him your vote of
confidence, we shall ask the General, not in our
name, but in the name of Italy, to give us his hand.
(Loud applause.) I think I have sufficiently ex-
plained the motives which led the Ministers
to resort to a convocation of the Chambers, and
to elicit from them a vote of confidence. I
I might here end my discourse if I did not think
it my duty to give some explanations which
were asked during the past sittings. I must say
a passing word as to the objection raised by the
Hon. M. Ferrari—that by adopting this bill we ex-
pose ourselves to the cession of other parts of Italy
as to a probable contingency. I shall not here repeat

meats should speak out. (Hear.) Here I must begin
by expressing my satisfaction that on the practical
question—on the present question, we are all
agreed; as, if I well understood the Hon.
M. Regnoli, who questioned me about Rome,
I think that he also agrees that it is
neither opportune nor honest to go to Rome so long
as that city is occupied by French troops. Gen-
tlemen, this is a question of the future. It is a
serious matter for a Minister to have to give his
opinion as to great future contingencies; yet I ac-
knowledge that a statesman, to be worthy of the
name, must have certain fixed. points, which may
be, so to say, the bearings by which to steer his
course, only choosing or changing the means to his
end according to events, but always keeping in view
these points which are to be his guidance. During
the last 12 years the pole-star of King Victor Em-
manuel has been the principle of national indepen-
dence. What will this star be with respect to
Rome ? (Movement of attention.) Our star, gen-

tlemen, will direct us to look upon the Eternal
City, upon which five and twenty centures have ac-
cumulated all glorious memories, as destined to
become the splendid capifal of our Italian King-
dom. (A storm of loud applause.) This answer
may not perhaps satisfy the hon. gentleman who
asked what means we intend to employ to this
end. I could say I will answer when you before-
hand tell me in what condition Italy and Europe
will bain six months hence—(laughter)—bu t if you
do not supply me with these data—these terms of
the problem—l fear that neither you nor any diplo-
matic mathematician may be able to find the x
' which you seek. (Laughter.) Nevertheless, gen-
tlemen, if I cannot point out the special means, I
shall not hesitate to indicate the great causes which
are to bring us to this goal. (Movement of atten-
tion.) I said, and repeat it, that the problem of
Rome is not to be solved by the sword alone. The
sword is necessary, it was, and ever will be to pre-
vent extraneous elements meddling with the solu-
tion of this question ; but it is not the sword alone
' that is to cut the knot. Moral forces must aid in
the solution ; and what are the moral forces upon
which we can and must reckon P I know that here
I trespass on the ground of philosophy and history;
but as hon. gentlemen have set the example before
me, I must give free utterance to the whole of my
mind. I think the solution of the Roman ques-
tion must arise from the conviction which will
daily gain ground in modern society, even in
the great Catholic society, that freedom is
highly favourable to the spread of true religious
feeling. (" Bravo !") This truth, I feel confident,
will soon triumph. We have seen it acknowledged
by most impassioned upholders of Catholic ideas ;
we have seen an illustrious writer, in a lucid inter-
val, show Europe in a book which has made a
great noise that freedom had been highly condu-
cive to the revival of religious spirit. Nor need we
for the confirmation of this 'truth go far abroad
for arguments. We only need look at home. Ido
not hesitate to affirm, gentlemen, that the free go-
vernment established in those Sub-Alpine countries
for the last 12 years is greatly favourable to the
development of religious feeling. I think I have
the right to declare that there is at the present day
a more lively and sincere religion in Piedmont than
there was 12 years ago. (" True, true !") The
clergy may have less privileges, the monks may
have diminished in number, but true religion has
more control over the minds and souls of our people
than at the time when, by flattering a certain hier-
archy of the clergy and the hypocritical practice
of going to church led man to public offices
and honours. (Applause.) Those among you
who do not belong to this part of Italy may upon
quitting this hall recognise the truth of my asser-
tions. You may have the confirmation from all the
venerable pastors of this capital, although this dio-
cese had not an enlightened prelate at its head, as
befell to the lot of other cities, where the bishops
well knew how to reconcile the precepts of freedom
with the canons of religion. (Applause.) When
this opinion shall generally prevail, as it soon will
(since the conduct of our army, the behaviour of
our high-souled Sovereign will have a tendency to
confirm it), when it shall take root in the minds of
other nations, in the heart of modern societies, we
feel assured that the great majority of enlightened
and sincere Catholics will acknowledge that the
august Pontiff who is at the head of our religion
may exercise his office in a far more free and inde-
pendent manner if he be guarded by the love and
affection of 22,000,000 of Italians than defended by
25,000 foreign bayonets. (Applause.) I proceed
to Venetia. (Profound silence.) However deep our
affection may be to this illustrious martyr, we must
acknowledge that it would be impossible at
this present moment to declare war with Austria.
Impossible, because we are not yet organised ; im-
possible, because Europe is against it. I know that
this argument will not be admitted by those orators
who think little attention should be paid to the
opposition of other Powers. Yet, gentlemen, • I
think I must discard this opinion, and observe that
the disregard of the opposition of great nations has
always proved fatal to sovereigns and to people.
We have had instances of tremendous catastrophes
arising from this want of respect to the feelings of
other nations. At the opening of the present cen-
tury the most famous warrior of modern times dis-
regarded the opinions of the people of Europe, and,
notwithstanding his extraordinary genius, and his
infinite resources, be. fell after a few years reign—.fell miserably, never to rise again, under the
combined efforts of Europe. In times nearer
to us another Emperor, who also reckoned
his soldiers by hundreds of thousands— soldiers
inferior in valour to no other soldiers—
would not listen +
this Emperor the re-
monstrances of other Powers, and thought he could
at his own pleasure settle his differences with the
Ottoman Power. Well, this great potentate had
soon to
repent—bitterly to repent—his little esti-
mation of the interests and opinions of Europe.
We might well fear that the same or worse might
happen to us, if, trusting our right and our means
only we should pay no attention to the advice and
suggestions of Europe. But, gentlemen, we are
asked, how, then, Will you solve the Venetian
question? In a very simple manner, by changing
the opinion of Europe. But how ? The opinion
of Europe will h c ange, because the opposition we
now meet exists not only in the Governments, But,
we must avow it, also in a great part of the popu-
lation, even liberal, of Europe. The opposition to
the enterprise of tie liberation of Venice arises from
two causes ; the first is the doubt Europe enter-
tains of our ability to constitute ourselves into a
strong and independent nation ; it lies in its igno-
rance of the means of which we may dispose,
in its conviction that we are unable alone to
accomplish so great an undertaking. This opinion
it is for us to rectify; let us organise ourselves;
let us show that no fatal germ of discord and
dissolution exists among us; let us constitute a
strong State, which may not only muster
up a for-
midable army and a considerable navy, but Which

then will European opinion be modified, and liglita - 2
will shine on these European Liberals who are per-
plexed and reluctant as to the possibility of eman-
cipating that unhappy and noble province of Italy.
There dwells aho in the minds of some people the
notion that it is still possible to reconcile the people
of that province to the Austrian dominion. This
idea is, however, waning fast. Venetia cannot be
reconciled with the Austrian empire. No concession,
no favour, no possible arrangement can induce the
Venetians to give up those aspirations which urge
them towards the great Italian family. If this was
true in past times,:how much more true will it not
be for the future ? Since the moral world gentlemen,
is subject to laws analogous to those of the physical
world, attraction is proportionate to the mass. The
stronger and more compact Italy becomes, the
greater, the more powerful and irresistible will be
the attraction it exercises upon Venice. (Prolonged
applause.) For the rest, gentlemen, this fact has
been acknowledged by the Government itself of
Vienna. At Villafranca, the Emperor of Austria,
I doubt not, had a sincere wish to introduce into
Venetia a conciliatory system, to endeavour by
beneficent measures to bring back morally that
province to his empire. He tried it for some time,
but he soon saw he was on the wrong track, and
fell back on. his system of repression. Nor can I
blame him for it. So long as the empire lutist
needs keep Venice, an irresistible fatality drives it
to measures of coercion and severity. When these
truths shall have reached all minds and hearts in
Europe they will, I trust, exercise a great in-
fluence. I know that I shall be told that I fall
into illusions ; that diplomatists have no hearts.
To begin with, I for my part, by reason of
my office, cannot admit this assertion. (Laughter.)
But were it even so, my answer would be, if
diplomatists have no hearts, the people have.
In this present age, in this rapid *movement
of all things, it is not diplomacy that
settles the destinies of the people ; it is the people
who set to diplomatists the task they have to
accomplish. I feel confident that when this truth •
no longer admits of contradiction, the miserable
condition of Venice will awaken an immense sym
pathy not only in generous France, not only :in •
righteous England, but also in noble Germany,
where liberal ideas yearly, daily, acquire greater
ascendancy. I think the day is not far off when
the great majority of Germany will dread any com-
plioity in the sacrifice of Venice. When this comes
to pass, gentlemen, we shall soon arrive at the de-
liverance of that illustrious city. How this may be
accomplished, whether by arms or negotiation, it
will be for Providence alone to decide. Gentlemen,
I have no more to add. I know not whether I may
flatter myself with having removed all your doubts,
and persuaded all the members of the House of the
uprightness of the Government's intentions; and of
the opportuniny of the policy it advises you to fol-
low. But I may, perhaps, not be charged with
presumption if I express an ardent desire, an ear-
nest hope, that you will give a unanimous vote
in favour of this present bill; this vote will. have
AO little weight on the councils of Europe, and, by
its immense authority, it will stifle in its rise that
germ of discord which has shown itself in the
southern provinces, and which, if it were allowed
development, might perhaps render impossible the
greatest, the most magnanimous enterprise that a
nation may accomplish. (Repeated salvoes of
thundering applause.)

The 2lfonitore Toscana of the 10th of October
publishes the following very curious correspond-
ence in the Italian language, with the French text
en regard:—

" Head-quarters, Rome, Oct. 7.

" M. le Gonfaloniere,—l have the honour to ac-
quaint you that a column of ''French troops, com-
posed of two battalions of the 25th of the Line, a
section of two pieces of artillery,*and 20 horsemen,
forming an effective of 60 officers, 1,260 men, and
70 horses, will leave Rome on the 9th of October
for Viterbo, at which place they will arrive on the
11th. I beg you to take all necessary measures for
procuring quarters for this force.
" Receive, M. le Gonfaloniere, the assurance of
my distinguished consideration.

The following is the Gonfaloniere's answer :
" Viterbo, Oct. 8.

" M. le General,—The Municipal Conimission of
this town, of which I have the honour to be presi-
dent, is disagreeably surprised at the receipt of your
communication that a column of French troops is
coming here. Relying on the assurance of your
Emperor that no intervention would take place in
Italy, we proclaimed the Government of King
Victor Emmanuel, the friend and the ally of France.
His .Majesty sent a Commissioner to govern us, and
we have maintained the most perfect order with the
unanimous consent of all the citizens. Persons and
property were never so secure here as they have
been since the installation of the King's Govern-
ment, and we can conscientiously say that we do
not deserve to have our tranquillity troubled. If,
however, your orders, General, should be such that
you cannot change your determination, you will
not meet with the slightest resistance, but
you will
find the town deserted unless you assure us that
you will not be followed by the reaction. I myself

and the entire municipality will seek

all are liable to prosecution by the clerical Govern-

STRIKE OF CARPENTERS AT BATH.---On Saturday
last the
operative carpenters and joiners intimated to their
respective employers their intention not to resume work
until their demand for an increase in wages shall be com-
plied with. A month since they forwarded to their employers
a memorial asking for an increase of 6d. per day from Oct.
13, urging as their reasons the high price of food, and the
lowness of their wages compared with those given in every
other town in England. They further require that they
shall leave off work at 4 o'clock on Saturdays; that for
overtime they be paid at the rate of a quarter of a day for
every two hours ; and that they shall be paid ed. per day
extra for work done three miles from Bath. The employers
replied, on the 6th October, that they would give 2s. per
week beyond the present wages from March next to all
deserving men," and 4d. per day extra for work executed at
four miles, and 6d. at 12 miles from Bath. These conceal.=
the operatives declined to accept, and invited their u?.854,1;
