2HE ITALIAN PARLIAMEN2.

A letter from Turin, dated May 21, says, we
have had an important debate about Venice to-day.
Notice had been given by Sebastian Tecchio, a pro-
scribed citizen or Vicenza, and one of the ablest col-
leagues of Daniel Manin in the Venetian revolution
of 1848, that he would invite attention to the diplo-
matic note recently sent to London by Count Rech-
. berg, the Austrian Prime Minister, in reply to
Count Cavour's despatch addressed to the Italian
ambassador in London, on the 16th March.
Tecchio's speech exposed the sufferings, and ex-
alted the long-endured martyrdom of his fellow
countrymen still waiting their :day of deliverance
from the Austrian yoke. After citing Lord John
Russell's despatch of the 29th November, in which
the Austrian government was recommended to con-
sider its perilous and precarious tenure of Venetia,
and to employ this time in conciliating the inhabi-
tants by reforms, Tecchio very earnestly denied that
there could be any ground for the comparison which
Lord John drew between Genoa, made in 1815 part
of the kingdom of Sardinia, and Venice, at the
same date consigned to the Austrian empire. He
said it was a questbn of nationality, and not of
more or less civil liberty, in this case. The Italians
of Venice were as different from the German and
other races of Austria as it was possible for any
nations to be. They would accept no liberties and
no benefits from Austria as their ruler, for their
only desire was that she should take herself off. The
hon. speaker then dissected Count Rechberg's note,
in answer to that of Count Cavour. He noticed the
Austrian minister's sardonic allusion to the fact that
some brigands and disturbers of the country, taken
by the royal troops with arms in their hands, and
in the very act of committing outrages, were put to
death in :the Abruzzi, after the revolution of last
year. The Austrian minister would perhaps have
desired that the Italian soldiers should perhaps have
desired that the Italian soldiers should forego the
right of self-defence, as well as their duty of expel-
ling the enemies of Italy, and that they should let
themselves be surrounded, and be treacherously cut
off by ambushed and insidious foes. (Cheers.)
Tecchio next came to that passage where Count
Rechberg had declared it was a calumny to assert,
that Venice continued now virtually in a state of
siege. He begged Count Cavour to tell the cham-
ber whether that assertion was not true ; for the
Prime Minister of the kingdom of Italy could not
carry his forbearance so far as patiently to bear the
reproach of having penned a falsehood and a calumny
in that instance. Count Rechberg said, and on the
faith of his denied Lord John Russell repeated in the
English House of Commons, a few days ago, that
since the peace of Villafranca the state of siege in
Venetia had ceased to exist. What Count Cavour had
said was, that for the Austrian rule in Venetia no
other Government was possible than a state of siege.
He did not know precisely how many persons in
Venetia had been arrested, or deported, or forcibly
enrolled ; how many had been condemned by
courts-martial, or shot for alleged acts of sedition,
or for inviting soldiers to desert. But the last
document in his possession was one of the 27th of
April, 1861, by which it appeared that the person
who attempted to seduce an Austrian soldier was
at once condemned to death, and that sentence was
to be instantly fulfilled. This was the very same
date as Count Rechberg's despatch denying the
existence of the state of siege ! (Hear, hear.) As
for the persons mysteriously deported away with-
out trial, and confined in the Austrian prisons, he
read an extract from Ihe despatch of the English
Consul-General at Venice, who mentioned by name
some instances of this being done, without any
respect to law, or any proof their guilt, and par-
ticularly the case of a woman torn from her home
and children, because she would not explain the
meaning of some phrase in one of her husband's j
letters intercepted by the Austrian police. But
'though it must be disti-essing to the Chamber to
hear of all these cruelties inflicted on the Venetian
people, it was a satisfaction to know that their
spirit remained unbroken. It was not true,
indeed, as Count Rechberg had insinuated,
that the King's Government, which never
concealed its sympathy for that people, had pro-
voked any manifestations apir.st them. The
Venetians were not such a people as could
even be shaken in their purpose by the Austrian
state of siege ; and he need only recommend their
destinies to the Parliament of Italy, there met
together to consider her national affairs. Tecchio
sat down amidst the warmest applause.
Count Cavour then rose, and with a very slow,
restrained, and deliberate manner, quite unlike his
wonted eagerness and vivacity on common occa-
sions, spoke in reply. He said the Ministry, in
dictating that note of the 16th of March, could not
have intended to enter into a controversy with the
Austrian Government; but they did assert in that
note, and without hesitation, that it was not pos-
sible for Austria to govern Italy with liberal insti-
tutions. The King's Minister made that assertion,
not to use it as a ground of accusation against the
statesmen of Austria, but in order to make known
a most important fact, which not only for the in-
terests of Italy, but of Europe, should be known to
all political men. That was the fact, as stated by
him (Cavour) in the diplomatic note referred to ;
and he must say that Count Rechberg had been ill
inspired, in contradicting that fact. Now, what
was the particular remark on which Count Rech-
berg bad thus commented, as being incorrect ? It
was this--that the system lately extended, such
as it was, to the other provinces of the Aus-
trian empire, was not found applicable to
Venice. That remark, he observed, was one
which since appeared to have obtained the concur-
rence of Lord John Russell, who said in his speech,
quite recently, that the Venetians were subjected
to different conditions from the rest of the Austrian
empire ; and Lord John Russell's opinion seemed to
be adopted by other English statesmen, because, in
the House of Lords also, the most influential
speakers, and even the heads of the Conservative
party, did not now hesitate to declare that the do-
minion of Venice was incompatible with the true
interests of Austria. That result was, perhaps, the
best reply that could be made to Count Rechberg's
diplomatic note, impugning the accuracy of the as-
sertion which he (Cavour) had made. It resulted,
indeed, from the clearest evidence that, whatever
efforts the Austrian Government might make, it
would never conciliate the people of Venetia to the
Austrian dominion. He believed that if the states-
men of Austria had not entertained the design of
extending to Venetia those institutions which had
been conferred on the other provinces, or at least
if they had not done it, it was because they had
found it impossible. In the provinces of Hungary,
Bohemia, and Croatia there were diets called, which
had to elect the councillors of the empire; but in
Venice, the candidates who were to form the Coun-
cil of the Empire were nominated by the Imperial
Government, a system which appeared to him to be
irrational, and which, leaving so much to the action
of the Government, could not give true representa-
tives of the people. He thought it indeed of
supreme importance now to show that it was im-
possible for Austria to govern Italians liberally,
because liberal ideas were now every day acquiring
greater force in the north of Germany, as might be
seen from those efforts which were being. made to
obtain their supremacy by some eloquent interpre-
ters of those ideas at Berlin. He was, therefore,
persuaded that when it was made evident that it
was impossible for Italians to be liberally governed
by Austria—when this proposition should be consi-
dered as surely proved as a mathematical theorem
—he firmly believed that an opinion favourable to
the complete liberation of Italy would then acquire
irresistible force. (Cheers.)
Baron RICASOLI said that Venice was still groan-
ing under tyranny the most atrocious; but her
people in 1849 and since had shown an example of
the noblest constancy, and she would soon revive.
It was desirable now to declare the will of the re-
presentatives of the nation. They would give the
last drop of their blood and the last of their sub-
stance for the deliverance of Venice. (Cheers.)
A resolution for passing to the order of the day
being read by Rattazzi, as president, the whole
house rose as one man, with enthusiastic plaudits, to
adopt it, and the President was ordered to inscribe
it as an unanimous vote.

As soon as the debate on Venice in the Chamber
of Deputies yesterday was over, one of the members
put a question to Count Cavour about the seventy
Italians of Modena whom his Imperial and Royal
Highness the late Duke of that province carried off
with him into captivity within the Austrian lines,
when he was compelled to quit the little state which
he had so long misruled. Count Cavour stated in
reply that the Italian Government, through the
agency of the French, had been for some time de-
manding their release, but the Austrian Govern-
ment affirmed that some of them were persons im-
prisoned for ordinary crimes. Eight indeed o uthat
of
the whole number of 70 appeared to be of t
class ; but these confined for political offences would
soon, he trusted, be delivered from the gaols of
and would
Mantua and Padua, where they now lay,
be restored to their homes. The next incident was
that Teechio, who had pleaded so well for Venice,
was asked, as chairman of the select committee on

Ho replied, that they had already adopted the first
and more general articles of the measure, but they
had to wait for some statistical information, which
the Minister of the Interior would supply.

JEFFERSON DAVIS' LATEST PROCLA
111A710.Y.-CIIANG.ING HIS lONE.

Before the rebellious war, which now threatens
with its sanguinary waves to sweep over the most
favoured portion of the American continent, was
fairly commenced, the instigators of the treason
were glorying over the golden prospects which
seemed to spread out like a map before them.
Nothing so easy as to suLdue the most influential
States of the North by their chivalrous blandish-
ments or their superior military tactics. Washing-
ton would fall into their hands without a struggle,
and New York eagerly rush to their embrace. In-
deed, some of the Northet n cities were supposed to
be so anxious to be encircled by the protecting
arms of Jeff. Davis and his crew—that they were
almost ready to rush over the territorial barriers
that nature had cruelly interposed between them
and their kind patrons.- Poor New England, with
her hives of industrious, free-thinking people, would
never be permitted to enjoy the blessings that
waited to pour themselves into the lap of the "New
Confederacy." It was a vision of more than Utopian
splendour that these magnificent worthies had con-
jured up. But, behold the change that has come
over the spirit of their dream I From expectations
of an easy conquest and a ready recognitiop_of
their Mt !Ted authority; Mr. 'Jeff. DaviAT i•rr-
litest message to. the " Provisional Congress of the
C. S. A." proclaims that they seek " no conquest,
no aggrandisement." " All that we ask," says this
new disciple of peace, " is to be let alone." Having
failed in their grand hopes of winning over,
by alternate threats and intrigues, the wealth
and industry, and enterprise of the Middle arid
Western States, all that this conscientious
and chivalrous gentleman requires is to be
left to enjoy in peace and. solitude the plunder that
he and his precious compeers have stolen from the
mints and arsenals of the Federal Government. So
says the assassin who thrusts himself into your
house, depletes your money-chest and despoils your
wardrobe. All that he asks for is to retire peaceably
with his booty. Give him your treasure quietly
and without resistance, and he will magnanimously
spare your life.

In this spirit the new lights of which the Missis-
sippi repudiator is the focus, cry out lustily " to be
let alone." But the guardians of the public—the
police, the corts.tab:e, and the magistrate—have
little respect for the complaints of the one, and it
is to bo hoped that President Lincoln and -his
advisers will have as little regard for the protests
of the other. It is only by the restoration of every
fort, arsenal, mint, navy-yard, gun and every other
spot, piece, or parcel of Federal property that has
' been illegally taken possession of, that the United
States can ever keep their place among the great
nations of the world. Not for the mere purpose of
displaying strength, and vigour, and power, would
such a course be commendable, but for the sake of
establishing once and for ever the most liberal of
Governments upon a firm foundation. If the com-
munities calling themselves the " Confederate
States" choose to deliver up the spoils which they
have piratically seized, so it uch the better for them,
but if they prefer to hold on to property of which
they are no more the rightful owners than England
is of the Danube or Cherbourg, then sufficient force
should be applied to repossess the Government in all
their rightful heritage. When this shall have been
accomplished—and accomplished it will and must be,
either peaceably or by the strong arm of power—it
will be soon enough to begin to speak of "amicable
and friendly relations" with the turbulent States.
To hold parley with a band of rebels would be not
only beneath the dignity, but beneath the power of
the United States Government. It is utterly impos-
sible for them "to let" the usurpers " alone." Had
South Carolina and her followers sought a dissolu-
tion of the ties which hold them to the other States
in a just and honourable manner, instead of preci-
pitating the country into a suicidal warfare—_had
the will of the people, expressed without undue in-
terference, pronounced in favour of the dissolution,
we believe that the spirit upon which the Republic
is founded would have acquiesced in the demand.
The high-handed outrages which have been
perpetrated at Charleston, at Baton Rouge,
at Fort Brown, at Harper's Ferry, and at
Norfolk, have greatly exasperated the loyal
people of the North, but we believe that
they would even overlook all these offences, pro-
vided the rightful owners were again placed in
pacific possession. We believe that they would even
go so far as to forgive the men who have betrayed
the country that has nourished, protected, and en-
riched them. But until restitution is made no such
response as Mr. Davis desires will be made to his
prayer "to be let alone."—The London American.
