SARDINIA.

The deputation appointed to present to the King
of Sardinia the medal which has been struck by
a private society, in commemoration of the words
pronounced by his Majesty on his opening the ses-
sion of the Piedmontese Parliament on the 10th of
January last, had the honour of an audience on the
20th. Count Mamiani, president of the committee,
reminded his Majesty of the memorable words
We are not insensible to the cry of grief which
we hear from every part of Italy." His Majesty
replied as follows :

.‘ I thank you for your beautiful present. Ever
since it has been in my power, I have consecrated
my efforts to the great national cause. I have it
constantly before my mind, I live for it, and am
ready to die for it. Difficulties and misfortunes
arise which must be surmounted, and they cer-
tainly will, for I have witnessed the courage and
discipline of which the Italians are capable. Under
present circumstances, it has been impossible to go
further, as I might have wished. In the midst of past
sorrows, I have found great consolation in seeing
that the Italians have understood me, and have
not entertained a doubt concerning me. The
masses, blinded by excessive enthusiasm, are
sometimes led astray ; I might have pardoned
such false steps, but I repeat that I have nothing
to reproach them with. It seems incredible that
some countries, that are unfavourable to us, do not
or will not believe that there is nothing obscure or
insidious i : my p)licy. Frankness and straight-
forwardness are its companions—perhaps it is the
going straight to the object in view that creates

tlisple &surer -The Italian -crueAtion is-Tery clear,
and it is no doubt on that account that they will
not understand it. The union, perfect order, and
wisdom which the people of Tuscany, the Duchies,
and the Romagna now 'display are admirable. I
certainly did not think that Italy was incapable of
acting so, still the spectacle of such an attitude
affords me great pleasure ; have, therefore, faith in
me, gentlemen, and be assured that now as well as
in future I shall do everything in my power to
promote the welfare of Italy."
