The following correspondence respecting the
assumption by King Victor Emmanuel of the title
of King of Italy has been received :
" THE MARQUIS D'AZEGLIO TO LORD J. RUSSELL.
LONDRES, le 19 Mars, 1861.
"My Lord, Le Parlement National vient de
voter, et le Roi, mon auguste Souverain, a sanc•
tionne la loi en vertu de laquelle sa Majeste Victor
Emmanuel 11. assume pour lui et pour sea suc-
cesseurs le titre de ' Roi
" La legalite constitutionnelle a consacre ainsi
l'ceuvre de justice qui a rendu l'ltalie a elle•meme.
" Des ce jour l'ltalie affirme hautement en face
du monde sa propre existence.
"I Elle proclaim solennellement le droit qui lui
appartient d'etre libre et independante, droit qu'ello
a soutenue sur to champ de bataille et dans les
conseils europeens.
" L'Angleterre, qui a du, et qui doit, sa prosperite
a l'application des memes principes qui nous
guident, verra avec faveur, j'en suis convaincu, se
constitue officiellement, et se faire connaitre en
Europe une nationalite a laquelle le peuple du
Royaume Uni a temoigne des genereuses sympa-
thies.

Je suis chargee par le Gouvernement du Roi de
notifier ofiiciellement cet evenement memorable a
votro excellence en sa qualite de Principal Secre-
taire d'Etat pour les Affaires Etraugeres de sa
Majesty la Reine du Royaume Uni de la Grande
Bretagne et d'lrlande.
" Ce grand fait a une importance que votre ex-
cellence appreciera facilenient. L'experience du
passe me permet d'esperer que la communication
que j'ai l'honneur de lui faire lui causera, ainsi qu'
a ses collegues la meme satisfaction que j'ai a la lui
addresser.—Je prie, &c.,
(Signe) "V. E. D'AZEGLIO."

" London, March 19, 1861.
"My Lord,—The National Parliament has voted,
and the King, my august Sovereign, has sanctioned,
the law by virtue of which his Majesty Victor
Emmanuel TI assumes for himself and for his suc-
cessors the title of King of Italy.'
" Thus constitutional legality has hallowed the
work of justice which has restored Italy to herself.
" From this day forward Italy asserts loudly in
the face of the world her individual existence.
She solemnly proclaims the right which belongs to
her to be free and independent—a right which she
has supported on the fields of battle and in the
oouncils of Europe.

" England, who has owed, and who owes, her
prosperity to the application of the same principles
that guide us, will, I am convinced, see with favour
a nationality, towards which the people of the
United Kingdom have manifested such generous
sympathies, constitute itself in an official manner,•
and obtain its recognition in Europe.
"I am charged by the King's Government to
notify officially this memorable event to your ex-
cellency in your quality of Principal Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs of her Majesty the Queen
of the United Kingdom of .Great Britain and Ire-
land.

" This great fact has an importance which your
excellency will readily appreciate. The experience
of the past permits me to hope that the communi-
cation which I have the honour to make to you will
occasion to your excellency, as well as to your col-
leagues, the same satisfaction that I have in ad-
dressing it to you.—l beg, &c.,

" V. E. D'AZEGLIO."
