PARMA, SEPT. 22.

In contradict ion to the assertions that have been
made, that Parma, under the Government of the
Duchies, maintained neutrality during the war, the
Gazetta di Pawnta publishes a despatch from the
late Minister of Foreign Affairs to the representa-
tive of Parma at Vienna, dated May 26th, 1859,
which proves the contrary,
The same journal promises the publication of
other documents of equal and even more im-
portance, concerning the rule of the Bourbons in the
Duchies, saying that such publications are rendered
necessary for the refutation of statements made by
their defenders.

position which pledges him to anything. Cleverly
enough he has kept out of all pledges. The Dukes
were to come back if they could, but he is not
pledged that they shall. He is supposed to wish—
indeed, no one pretends to doubt it—that his cousin
should be an Italian King rather than a Paris
trouble to him ; and he would, therefore, be but too
happy had his Counts, RETSET and PONIATOWSRI,
but pleaded unsuccessfully for Grand Dukes,
and whispered successfully for his cousin ; but
he is not pledged—his honour or reputation in
no way involved. On the contrary, glory and
honour in Italy, in his case, are in conflict with
selfish and dynastic ambition. His personal
aggrandisement is concerned in filching from
Italy a kingdom for his cousin, but
his reputation will be better secured by listening
to the wishes of England. Italian Liberty would
be a far more noble monument to his honour than
a King of Etruria who might, in a few years, be a
beggar for shelter at Brighton.
May we not hope, therefore, that the closer con-
tact iiit9 which the Governments will now be
brought, and their common interest in an important
military and naval expedition, will give to Eng-
lish counsels the ascendancy which their in-
trinsic excellence deserves. - Atr.-,-,tatesmen
cannot fail, we imagine, to do their duty
in the way of representation ; and, if the
Italians do but steadily maintain their pre-
sent course, it seems impossible they should fail of
their object. Their moral position is so unassail-
able, the conscience of all civilisation must be so
strongly on their side, that bad as Rulers may be,
we can hardly believe them to have lost all sense
of decency. Legitimacy may be a darling idea, but
there are such things as the rights of nations ;
and if it be not one of them for nations to be
ruled and governed by whom they wish and how
they wish, it is hard to say what their rights are at
all. Our HAPSBURGS and ROMANOFFS, and HOLTEN-
ZOLLERNS are hardly got so far, yet, as to
affirm that nations are made for Royal Families,
and not Monarchs for nations. One thing is cer-
tain, the two greatest thrones of Europe ought to
be vacated, if the right of peoples to do what the
Duchies have just done be not admitted. How
little thought the Emperor of CHINA and her
Mandarins that they might be securing the cause
of Italian liberty !

The Minister of War has addressed a circular to
the marshals and generals of the different corps of
the army of Italy, directing them to draw up
alphabetical lists of all the officers and men who,
from having taken part in the campaign of Italy,
are entitled to the medal which is about to be dis-
tributed.
" We are assured," says the Toulonnaise, " that
six transports have received orders to be in readi-
ness to sail for China. These vessels are to carry
out, it is said, an expeditionary corps."
" An English journal," says the Constitutionnel,
" has published a somewhat inaccurate state-
ment as to what took place between the English
snd French consuls at Canea, in Candia. The
English consul was returning home, accompanied
by his two attendants, when he ordered
the latter to arrest a Mussulman, who was consi-
sidered a suspicious character. The man imme-
diately exclaimed that he was a Frenchman, and
protested against the execution of the consul's
order. Ile was taken into custody, however, but
was allowed to communicate with the representa-
tive of France. The French Consul at once di-
rected that an inquiry should be instituted, and it
was proved that the individual arrested was a na-
tive of Algiers, and had been falsely denounced.
The English 'consul immediately set him at liberty,
and addressed a most courteous letter of explana•
tion to the French consul. Such is the truth of
this occurrence. The conduct of the two consuls in
, this case has been throughout of the most conci-

liatory and friendly description."

The Opinione of Turin publishes an artiole signed
by M. Maximo d'Azeglio, under the title of " Pied-
mont and Central Italy," in which we find the fol-

lowing :
" The difficulties of the present day are all caused
by the conflict which exists between public feeling
and the public law of the treaties of 1815. The mo-
ment has arrived for Piedmont to decide for one side
or the other, and the time is also come when great
characters save states. Let the advisers of the crown
ponder well on that fact. The King's language proves
that they have comprehendedin part the importance
of the present opportunity. I say in part, because an
answer still remains to be given to Bologna. The
journals express doubts and fears as to Romagna.
Can any doubts exist as to her right ? Is not her
situation the same as that of other parts of Italy ?
Has she suffered less than the Tuscans from her old
gwernmout, or less than the Parmesans and the
Modenese ? Was not a commissioner from the King
sent to Romagna as well as to the other States to
ask for the blood of her sons, and when the Royal
commissioner was obliged to leave, did he not, in
accordance with his instructions, tell the people
to express their wishes freely ? Every one besides
knows that the situation of the people of Romagna
has been worse than that of any other; that her
sovereign abdicated in favour of Austrian generals
all rights, even that of pardon ; that on their de-
parture his delegate abdicated a second time,
and voluntarily allowed the country to remain
without any government. Every one has wit-
nessed the regular conduct of the Romag-
nese,
their political prudence, and their legal and
dignified manner of voting. Their wish, like Tus-
cany, is to unite themselves to the monarchy of
Savoy. Why should they not obtain the same reply
as Tuscany ? Is it because their position is de-
fended by a conspiracy of mundane interests
covered over with the cloak of religion, and which
extends like a net over the whole of Europe ? Or
is it because it is a great danger for Piedmont to.
defend Romagna against Jesuitical affiliations? If
t hat is the reason, I say that to abandon those who
came at your call to assist you in the day of danger,
and to do so because it is dangerous to aid them in
their turn, is a a phrase which does not accord with
the Piedmontese dictionary. For us and for our
princes duty calls where danger exists, therefore
the Romagnese must not be abandoned by Pied-
mont."

of the Peiho has caused here general dissatisfaction.
China, which it was hoped could be opened to
civilisation, appears obstinately determined to re-
main isolated. With her nothing can be dons by
pacific means ; the resistance made to the English
forces is a new proof of the bad faith of the
Chinese, and of the fact that though they readily
sign treaties, they arc never disposed to execute
the stipulations of them. It is, perhaps, to be
desired that the four Powers which were
lately engaged in negotiations with the Court of
Pekin should unite their forces to give a decisive
blow to that Government, the existence of which
is an anomaly and an obstacle to the progress of
civilisation. China cannot be of advantage to Eu-
rope until she shall be freely opened to all coun-

The Czas publishes a letter from Poland which
states that the Emperor of Russia has given orders
for the enlargement of the arsenal in the citadel of
Warsaw, in order to receive the administration of
the various depots of arms and stores in the western
provinces of the empire. The establishment in
question is to be removed there from Modlin, in
order to allow an enlargement of the artillery
workshops at the last-mentioned fortress.
