direction of the foreign.polictof :this empire de-in

and a similar communication haS been received from
the Manchester corps. '

nARIARD CASTLE.

A very enthusiastic meeting in furtherance of the
establishment of .a rifle corps at this place was held
last week., Mr. W. J. S. Morritt, of Rokeby, was,
in the chair, 'being ably. seconded by a large num-
ber of the gentry and clergy 'of the district. The
chairman, afpr, explaining the conditions and other
matters for geueral information, announced that he
intended to proVide a practice grOUnd and targets,
and to'subscribe £2O. Mrs. Merritt would give
£5; and n o doubt many other gentlemen and ladies
would follow their example. The Rev. T. Witham,
of Lartington, also made wdonation of £2O, and
other gentlemen came forward with lesser amounts.
A committee was organised, and the name "Bar-
nard Castle Rifles," was changed to " Teesdale Vo-
lunteer Rifles."

" We hailed with the heartiest syhipathy, your
lordship's loud and solemn protest' at Aberdeen
(on occasion of your acceptance of the freedom of
that city, September 28, 1859), against any, inter-
ferenceliy foreign force' to prevent the Italians from
' having their own Government,' tind ebriductiq:.
their affairs as they like,' and becoming, the free
citizens of a free country.' Your lordship is re-
ported to have said that if there should be a Con-
gress of the Powers of Europe, '.we might assist
only upon one condition—viz , that with respect to
the using of foreign force, in order to compel those
conditions of' peace, whatever they may 'be, to be
enforced, so as to interfere with the right of ttie
people of these countries to manage their own con-
cerns—that .if such is the object, or may be the 're-
sult -of such a Congress, England must stand apart
and take no concern in it;' and we therefore hope-
fully conclude that the fact of her Majesty's Go-
vernment consenting total:* part in the Congress is
a sign that the just rights of a great people are not
to be yutraged or destroyed. .

" We noiv venture to address your lordship to
give you the clearest asssurance that in the main-
tenance of the principles enunciated at Aberdeen
you will be supported by this great community, and
also, as we firmly believe, by the nation at large.
We accept gladly as the guiding law of the foreign
policy of our country your lordship's declaration
:he different States of Eurve should be in-
' idont, that (in your lordslkip'§ own words)
they sho-lild luau:l,7 their own concerns, and
that no ore State 'should have -a—metionderauce
in Europe, no matter what should •he the
constitutions or the internal Governinent
rest.' WC assure your lordship that the pracift4l
Maintenance of this principle, in its application to
the affairs of Italy, will add the gratitude of an
Italian nation to the gratitude felt by your c0m1..,
trymen for yourserviee-s unto them, anu will join
to the gratitude of Britain and Italy the admit ing;
respect of every lover Of , freedom in the world at

"-In times of anxious difficulty like the present,',
'it cannot 'lit. strengthen 'the hands of a British
Statesman if the world knows that he possesSes.the
confidence of the people, the Maititenance of Whose'
honour. :he
,holds in charge. j. Such confidence we-
now express. You yourself declared ' the indepen- •
dence of the several -States of-Europe an .object
Avhich Great Britain ought to feel a synipathy far
and an interest in.' ' Feeling such symisithy • and
interest, we trust your lordship wiltlsfretch
,to the,
utmost the influence of Britain at the (;omilig Con-
greSs to procure the withdrawal of all foreign troops
whatsoever from Italian soii. Seldom in history..
has people so soddenly proved itself adetivate to •
thr: task 'of self-government as have thelialians in
recent times-7seldoin in history has so clear a. way
been opened for, the spread of religious liberty over ,
a land long held in.,
spiritual bond,ac ; and foreign
intcyvention has no excuse to pleat!, fQr it has no..
wrong to redress and no f.)leSliing to bestow.
" We believe, 'moreover, the issue of the Congress
a matter not merely or Italian but European ans-
ment. What safety can any State possess if its
internal affairs arc subject to the decision of a Con- ,
gress? If the States of Central Italy are to be en-
forced to act against their own recorded convic-
tions, why may no any other States be compelled
io exist under like subordination to a few pars- -
mount.PoWers ? It is the great question of Euro-
pean liberty itself which is now at stake.
I ." Finally, we would express our. hope that your
lordship's- influence will be exerted to prevent un-
due delay in the proceedings of the Congress as
tending to complicate still more dangerously the
ifliculties of a land in whose past-history civilised
urope has a garteful interest—a land bounteously
lessed by Providence, but too long unhappy
through the misrule of men not native to its soil,
and not rejoicing in its freedom or its glory.
"With high respect we remain your Lordship's
faithful obedient servants."

The memorial is being very, respectably and
numerously signed.
