His Majesty in his speech to the Chambers

said :

" Italy, almost entirely free aid united, confides
in your wisdom, and it is on yot devolves the task
of her organisation. You will establish the greatest
administrative liberties, taking care at the same
time that her unity be protected. Public opinion
is favourable to our national terdencies. The Em-
peror of the French, although assuring to us the
benefits of non-intervention, ha 3 deemed it fitting
to recall his envoy. This act his excited our keen
regret, without, however, affecfing our gratitude.
At Magenta and Solferino France and Italy have
rivetted ties of amity which will be indissoluble.
England, the ancient home of liberty, has recog-
nised our right to dispose of ourselves. We shall
preserve an imperishable remembrance of the sup•
port which her good offices have afforded us.
"An illustrious Prince having ascended the
,hrone of Prussia, I sent my Ambassador, in order
;o testify to him our sympathy for his person and
ror the German nation.
" You will assist my Government in completing
he armaments.

" In the consciousness of its strength, the king.
dom of Italy will be able to follow the counsels o
prudence.
" My voice was once raised with boldness, but i.

is as wise to wait at the right time as it is to dare
at the right time. _

" Devoted to Italy, I have risked my crown for
her sake ; but no one has the right to risk the ex-
istence and the destinies of a nation. The taking
of a formidable fortress has worthily crowned the
exploits of the army and navy. Thus they, as
well as the volunteers, have acquired a renown
which has given the country a just confidence in
itself ; and it is with pleasure that I express to the
first Parliament of Italy the joy which as King
and soldier I feel on this account."
