Ire to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies,
Signor Tecchio directed the attention of the house
to the recent circulars issued by Count Rechberg
on the state of things at Venice. He said," The
people of Venice do not desire the domination of
Austria, The opposition to the Austrian Govern-
ment in Venetia is not provoked from without."
He concluded by recommending Venetia to the
attention of the King and the Italian Parliament.
Count Cavour thanked Signor Tecchio for hav-
ing brought this question under the consideration
of the house. He said that Signor Tecchio had
proved by his speech that what Count Rechberg
had alleged in his circular notes was wrong. Count
Cavour then continued—

" I do not doubt the present liberal intentions
of the Austrian Ministers; they will always, how-
ever, meet with insurmountable obstacles in Vene-
tia. This fact is principally important from its
influence on public opinion in Germany, where
liberal ideas are now progressing."
The following order of the day was then adopted :
" The Chamber having heard with extreme inte-

to the order of the day."
