ITALY.

TURIN, JUNE 25.
In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies,
Baron Ricasoli, President of the Council of Minis-
ters, made the following statement :
The Government is happy to announce to the
Chamber an event which will be received with
great satisfaction by the Italivn people. The Em-
peror of the French has recognised Victor Emmanuel

as King of Italy. The right of our nationality,

which until now has only been graven in the con-
science of the people of Italy, will soon become a
right recognised by all Europe. The recognition
of the kingdom of Italy by ":i'rance and England
definitively determines our position in Europe.
Italy is now placed among theother sisterly nations,
and occupies the place which has long since been
denied her. The recognition of the Italian king-
dom is the fulfilment and the seal of the memorable
words pronounced by the Emperor of the French in
July, 1859, in replying to the congratulations of
the constitutional bodies of State, shortly after his
return from the glorious campaign in Italy. He
said—" The future will show the results of this

peace for the happiness of Italy, the greatness of
France, and the peace of Earope." The Chamber
will certainly acknowledge, as a fresh proof of
the Emperor's goodwill, the moment itself which
he has chosen for making this solemn manifesta-
tion. It is certainly his intention to render less
painful to Italy the great nisfortune by which she
has been overtaken. Italy will see in this fresh
cause for being grateful to the generous nation
whose genius and noble instincts the Imperial
Government so worthily represents. Ido not con-
sider that I am lowering the dignity of Italy in
declaring that she ought to be thankful to France.
(Cheers.) Do not fear ttat our gratitude towards
France can demand of 115 the least sacrifice of our
rights or of our interests. (Cheers.) Between
France and Italy there cannot be any conflict of
interests. Liberty, progress, and humanity will
henceforth be the sole common aims of civilised
peoples. Italy and France will go hand in hand
to this noble result. Such is the new basis of the
policy of the Emperor of the French inaugurated
by the war in Italy, a policy which will form the
best title of his glory, and which will give to the
'world that which it is most in need of, namely, peace
founded on justice. (Cheers.) Let us rejoice at
this new success, but do not let us forget that our
work is not yet completed. We owe this success
principally to wisdom, constancy, concord, mag-
nanimous emulation, efforts, and sacrifices. We
still require these virtues—the effects of which
cannot bo compensated by any friendship or foreign
support. These virtues are the true motives of the
past, and the most sure token of the future. (Pro-
longed cheering.)
Signor Muronino, member of the Left, said—l
find a deficiency it the communication of Baron
' Ricasoli in his silence with regard to Rome, our
capital by right. He asked for explanations.
Baron Ricasol replied—There is at present no
Ambassador of Italy at Paris, nor any French
Ambassador at Turin. This part of our relations
has not 'been sottled, but will be so very shortly.
As regards Raze, I can assure y ou that the Govern-
ment has no intention of allowing the question
to rest. It 5s too important for the Govern-
ment not to imessantly occupy themselves with it.
The Chamber will, however, understand the gravity
of the question, the difficulties of which must be
overcome solely by way of negotiations with Napo-
leon, which are continually going on. I flatter
myself that in time, the period of which I certainly
cannot fix, fie shall arrive at such a result as will
meet the best wishes of the nation. In the mean-
time I can assure you that the recognition of the
kingdom of Italy does not involve any condition
nor any insult to our national rights.
A letter dated Turin, Saturday, says—the Lon-

without the slightest confirmation. I refer to the
