The following is Count Cavour's speech in the
Chamber of Deputies at Turin, on bringing in the
bill for the new title to be assumed by King Victor
Emmanuel :

piIICE 4D. STAMPED, SD,

" Gentlemeqp—l have the honour to submit to
the Chamber of Deputies the bill by which the
King, our august Sovereign, assumes for himself
and his successors the title of King of Italy. The
emotion which this proposition excites, the applause
with which it has been received, loudly proclaim
that a great fact has been accomplished, and that
a new era begins. It is a noble nation which,
through adverse fortune and its own errors, had
fallen into a state of abasement, and been trampled
under foot and scourged for upwards of three
centuries both by foreign and 'native tyranny ;
it now,
invoking its right, rises again, renovated
through a magnanimous struggle which has lasted
three years, and declares itself in the face of the
world. It is this noble nation which, having
proved constant during the long days of its trials,
and shown prudence during the days of its un-
hoped-for prosperity is at the present moment
completing the work of its Constitution, becomes
one by its Government and institutions, as it was
already by its origin, its language, and religion,
the recollection of the martyrdom it has under-
gone, and the hope of a complete deliverance.
You, the interpreters of the national feeling,
you have already, on the solemn day of the open-
ing of Parliament, saluted Victor Emmanuel 11.
with the new title with which Italy, from Turin
to Palermo, has already invested him in her
affectionate gratitude. It is now necessary to
transform this cry of enthusiasm into a law of
the State. The Senate of the kingdom has al-
ready sanctioned it by its unanimous vote ; you,
gentlemen, I am certain, will confirm it by the
same unanimity in your suffrages, in order that the
new Kingdom may present itself, without any fur-
ther delay, in the assembly of nations with the glo-
rious name that belongs to it."

tee for order in Europe, and his spiritual power
reposes, not on the rock of ages but on his retention
of a petty and ruined principality. It is only doing
M. Thiers justice to say that the present politics of
the French nation have been formed entirely on his
_History of the Consulage and the Empire, probably
the most immoral, anti-social,:and the least veracious
work that ever issued from the hands of a great his-
torian. The Opposition in the French Senate and
Legislature has drunk too deeply from this impure
source. To tear up the treaties of 1815, to avenge
the defeat of Waterloo, to carry her boundary to
the Rhine, to dominate over the rest of Europe by
an aggressive policy and an overpowering army, to
sow dissensions in Germany, Italy, and Spain, and
tßut,
above
all
things,
to profit by those dissensions in order to extend the
dominion of France over unwilling and uncongenial
nations—these M. Thiers has taught the present
generation

B
to be anxious to involve their country in a struggle
for life or death with England, which desires nothing
more than alliance andfriendship. The Emperor
represented as actuated by the fear of Italian dag-
gers, as meanly
to
thetru trueckliag te
to the of England,
and false of
France,
be-
cause he has permitted a large and prosperous
kingdom to come into existence on her frontiers.
England is accused of intriguing. for Italian
unity under the mask of non-intervention,
and Victor Emmanuel is denounced in lan-
guage rarely indeed employed by the subjects of
one crowned head when speaking of another. The
Emperor is counselled by one to draw close the
ties of alliance with Russia, by another to load him-
self with the crushing weight of the falling colossus
of Austria, and all combine in the most heartfelt
praise of the diserowned King of Naples whose hands
are yet red from the cruel and useless massacre of
Palermo.

The Nazione of Florence publishes an Address,
signed by upwards of 1,000 women of the lower
orders of Pisa, and addressed to King Victor Em-
manuel, in which" echoing," as they say, the words
of the Countess Montemerli, they declare that " at
any price, they must have Venetia ;" and that " for
so noble a cause, they will send their brothers,
their sons, and their husbands to a final conflict, in
order to drive the despotic oppressors from
the sacred soil." Ameng the women who
have signed this Address there are the wives
of many soldiers decorated by Napoleon 111. during
the campaign of 1859. To this Address, Chevalier
Nigra, in the King's name, has replied as follows :

We have no objection to be blamed, we should
feel the greatest disgust at being praised, by such
orators. Their taunts are as much without point
as their menaces are without strength and their
counsels without wisdom. We cannot wonder that
those who counsel France to link her destiny with
an exploded theocracy, to ally herself with all that
is decrepit, retrograde, bankrupt, feeble, and dis-
reputable among the monarchies of Europe, should
advise her to keep aloof from the alliance of such a
country as England. We cannot wonder that those
who are never weary of promulgating a policy of
the basest selfishness, the meanest jealousy, and the
most sordid cupidity, should select England, which
has no obsolete party interest to serve, and no super-
annuated hatreds to gratify, as the mark of their
impotent rage and pointless denunciations. They
are worthy of their cause, and deserve to live under
a Pope and a King of Naples, rather than under the
existing Government of France. But the Emperor
has no reason to regret that they have shown them-
selves in their true colours. He has proved to the
world that his policy can stand the test of the most
rancorous public attack, and come out all the
brighter from the ordeal. He has shown that he
has no occasion to silence men who have only to
speak freely in order to call down upon themselves
the reprobation of the wise and good of all nations,
and he has probably done much to reconcile France
to his domination by giving her a convincing proof
of the quality of the men from whose hands he has
snatched her, and into whose hands she might pos-
sibly fall again.—Tinies.

" Turin, Feb. 4.
Madame—His Majesty has received the Note
and the Address which you have sent him, and
is convinced that the patriotic sentiments which
characterised the Italian women of former days are
not unknown to those of the present, who take so
active a part in the grand work of national inde-
pendence, the completion of which is the ardent
desire of every good citizen. His Majesty com-
mands me to thank you for the generous and
patriotic sentiments which you have expressed to
him in the name of the female inhabitants of the
town of Pisa. In acquitting myself of this mission,
believe me, .Be-c.,
"The Minister of the King's household,
" NIGRA."
