THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 18, 1859.

The Ministry of the factions is at length
patched up. It is said that in the multitude
of Counsellors there is wisdom ; but if we be
not ;far mistaken there will be more cavil than
practical wisdom in their deliberations. Just fancy
a select circle of no less than sixteen meeting to
discuss the questions of the day! Why, it is a
little Parliament in itself. And than, how will
they agree on topics of national or of foreign con-
cern? Lord SOHN RUSSELL will only be too
happy to cut short their deliberations, unless
he have the lion's share of the debate, and
the decision all to himself. The ricketty
Mountebank has upset so many coaches in his time
that he cannot abide the idea of allowing even a
coach with sixteen to pursue the even tenor of its
way, unless he be the Jehu to guide its progress
through the ruts and •rough macadamisation of its
thorny path. But let us wait a bit. The new
Ministry is built on so strong a foundation that it
may topple from its very strength, and thus prove
that there may be too much of a good thing. They
have entered the Queen's closet by storm, and may
yet meet the fate of rushing-in in too hot haste.
Last evening the Earl of DERBY and Mr.
DISRAELI, each in his place, announced their
termination of office with a becoming modesty
and manliness of spirit quite refreshing.
Indeed Lord DERBY spoke as became a
patriot and a peer. He denounced the conduct
of certain parties for blabbing the observations of
her NfAJESTY on the state of parties and of certain
persons in particular. But the fact was that the
conspirators were so elated with their hopeless suc-
cess, that like the lover in the Cotter's Saturday
Night " they scarce could well behave." Poor
men ! they are now daft with their " cunning"
iniquity ; but a day of reckoning may come before
they count their chickens.
It was in vain that Mr. DISRAELI entreated
the Opposition to wait until the correspondence
with Austria was published. No, like
a congenial worthy, they believed and
trembled that that correspondence would
have blown to the winds the false charges
with which they attempted to mislead the
House and humbug the country. No, no, let us
have the verdict first and the evidence may follow
when too late ! Now, can or will the country submit
to such barefaced imposition, even though it be sanc-
tioned and sanctified by sixteen Cabinet Ministers ?
Never ! Indeed, we know four or five of the
present Ministers who would scorn to lend
their names to such an unworthy party juggle. Lord
CAMPBELL, the new Lord Chancellor would never
sully his fair and well-earned fame by submitting
to such baseness. But as to some few of the old
scare-worn Whigs and some of mock Whigs alias
shabby Tories in disguise, we will take their
word. for all it is worth, but trust them for
nothing. Why the correspondence of Lord
MALMESBURY shines out more brightly and
more truly British than we could have hoped
for. We knew that the Ministry of Earl
DERBY were heavily hampered by the pressure
of the Coburg influence, both at home and
abroad, to support the villainous pretensions
of the Hapsburgs in the enormity of
their oppressive doings in Italy ; and but
for that belief, we are certain Austria
would never have dared to brandish even
a broomstick at the Sardinians, much less
their French allies. The Austrians pinned their
faith on the mockery of treaties imposed upon
Europe in 1815 ; just as a robber persuades him-
Self that he is entitled to his spoils because the
statute of limitations may be set up as a bar to
any further inquiry into his previous conduct.
Justly aid Lord MALMESBURY express the
feeling of the people of this country
again st the conduct of Austria, and for that
patriotic vindication the DERBY 'Ministry
. have been turned out of office
otof immpakosetoN;s7: for a
set-54 )me of them—a rare set

Theve is a remarkable resemblanc, discernible at
a glance between the last Coalition Government,
the Government of Lord ABERDEEN, and this new
Coal Lition Government, the Cabinet of Lora pk.-Lm En_
STO N. The resemblance indeed for
most the part
areount.3 almost to identity. It is merely •A fresh

combination of the same brilliant colours after a
vigorous shake of the political kaleidoscope.
The Coalition Cabinet constructed by Lord ABER-
DEEN in the winter of 1852 numbered exactly
fifteen. The Coalition Cabinet constructed by Lord
PALMERSTON in the summer of 1859 has one more,
namely, sixteen altogether as its full compliment.
Among the few administrators whose names do
I not appear, however, anew in the latter combi-
nation there is, first of all, Lord ABERDEEN him-
self, who is thoroughly used up—nobody wants
him. Then there is the venerable Marquis of
LANSDOWNE, who latterly only had a seat in the
Cabinet without office, but who now prefers to be
divested of even this partial responsibility. The
Earl of CLARENDON for somewhat different reasons
withdraws for a while at least from official life—
until the Conspiracy to Murder Bill, and one or two
other little trifles of the like kind, shall have lapsed
from the public recollection. Sit' JAMES GRAHAM
again appears to have a'lreater relish for the °awn
cunt dignitate of the back benches, than for that
toiling and moiling which would be inevitable
upon the assumption of a place in the front ranks
of the Treasury. Lord CRANWORTH, moreover, con-
tinues to enjoy his pension as ex-Chancellor un-
disturbed—while death has long since deprived
the public service of the many rare qualifications
for practical statesmanship combined in the philo-
sophic intellect of Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTII.
Otherwise glance down theist of the present and
of the former Coalition Cabinet and the names in
each are positively identical. There, eonspicuous
even among his eminent associates, appears Vis-
count PALMERSTON—in 1852 Home Secretary, in
1859, in power as First Lord of the Treasury.
There, too, is Earl GRANVILLE—then Chancellor
of the Duchy of Lancaster, now Lord President of
the Council. There the Duke of NEWCASTLE, who
under the Premiership of Lord ABERDEEN
was successively Colonial Secretary, War
Minister, and Scapegoat—but destined now, we
will hope, under Lord PALMERSTON'S Premiership,
to be Colonial Secretary exclusively. There is Sir
GEORGE GREY—but yesterday, as it were, so high
in office, as one of the chief secretaries of State,
now honourably (?) shelved at the head of the
Duchy of Lancaster. There, Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT
in 1852, Secretary at War, now Secretary for War.
There, Lord JOHN RUSSELL—six years back Presi-
dent of the Council—now, Secretary of State for
the Foreign Department. Sir CHARLES WOOD, in
the Palmerstonian Coalition, as formerly in the
ABERDEEN Coalition, presides over the affairs of
Hindostan—in 1852, at the head of the Board of
Control—in 1859 as Her MAJESTY'S Secretary of
State for India. The Privy Seal, under both Ad-
ministration, is held in the grasp of his Grace the
Duke of ARGYLL. In both Coalitions Mr. GLAD-
STONE occupies the difficult and responsible office of
Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Several admirable changes, however, impart
considerable additional strength to this new
Coalition, as compared with its predecessor
of six years since. It is but fitting, it is in
a manner but in obedience to the dictates of
practical justice, that the luminous historian of the
Lord High Chancellors of England should, in his
turn, also assume supreme judicial dignity, as the
last, and not by any means, the least of England's I,
Lord High Chancellors. His Grace the Duke of
it
SOMERSET has yet to prove himself as admirable
an administrator at the head of the Board of Ad-
miralty, as Sir JAMES GRAHAM has undoubtedly
shown himself to be, both in the conduct of our
maritime affairs, and as previously at the head of
the Home Department. While Sir GEORGE
LEWIS may enhance as chief of the latter depart-
ment, the reputation he has already acquired by
his management of the Exchequer under Lord
PALMERSTON'S previous Government. As Chief
Commissioner of—how is it called ?—Public Works,
Woods and Forests, Parks and Palaces—we are to ,
have one of the ablest of the Peelites, Mr. Cann-
WELL, who occupied, in the last Coalition Cabi-
net, from December, 1852, to February,
1855, the Presidency of the Board of Trade, but
without, as now a seat in the Cabinet ! The
latter office having been now set aside for the
reception or refusal of the emancipator of
Trade generally—in other words, the great apostle 1
of Free Trade Principles, RICHARD COBDEN, Seen
now, we arc glad to think, to be enrolled, as he
ought to have been long since, among the ranks of
her MAJESTY'S Privy Councillors as Right Honour-
able. At the head of the Poor-law Board will
appear the former Vice-President of .the Board of
Trade from July, 1846, till April, 1848—one of the
very few wranglers of Cambridge who have
achieved for themselves in later life any eminent
reputation—MlLNEß GIBSON, the right hon. mem-
ber for Ashton-under-Line. The supplementary or
sixteenth Cabinet Minister is the noble earl (very
soon now we sincerely hope to have him designated
the noble marquis), nominated to the office of Post-
master General—JAMES BRUCE, eighth Earl of
ELGIN (a little while longer surely and we shall
have to write it—and first Marquis of ELGIN), but
just now returned to England, after having opened
up, by two successive master-strokes of diplomacy,
the hitherto isolated and recluse empires of China
and Japan. While, however, the enrolment of Lord
ELGIN upon the list of Lora PALMERSTON'S
Coalition Government is recognised as an extra-
ordinary and notable accession of strength to the
new Administration—it is a very general matter
of surprise, at the same time, that an office so inade-
quate to his powers should have been awarded to a
statesman whose eminent reputation is recog-
nised as of an elevation and a magnitude, rendering
him eligible in the popular regard even to
the Premiership. It is a source of almost equal
surprise to us, indeed, that while Sir CHARLES
WOOD should have been deemed worthy of nomi-
nation as Indian Secretary, and Sir GEORGE LEWIS
as Home Secretary—Sir GEORGE GREY should have
been contented to settle down at the head of the
Duchy of Lancaster, and Lord ELGIN in the posi-
ehen octahpiancgi
capacity
less
comprised
than a
posi-
tion merely of Postmaster-General.
.Altogether, howbeit, itahwdert
egregious absurdity not to recognise uponthe instant
twhietshtir:tl.ll,3=
w and most esncoillpse' of this ne
re-
markable Administration. If but true to their
if but true toy ne another, if but true to
principles,
themselves—a Cabinet formed, a Cabinet com-
experience, a Cabinet
bining together such large
containing within itself such extraordinary ad-
ministrative capacity, might, even with the small
majority apparent upon the late division, defy for
almost an indefinite period all the arts of the most
skilled and united Opposition. The real weakness,
the only weakness of the Coalition PALMERSTON
Government is in truth its excess, its absolute super-
abundance of strength in administrative capacity
and elevated statesmanship.
It is like working the state-engine at a high
pressure ! ,The danger is, we fear, rather that of an
explosion—than of any ordinary breakdown from
a want of " go," of power, or of energy. We can
only, wait, and see how it really works. Hop-
ing, above all things, that my :Lord PALMER-
STON, as the State engine-driver, will look
well to the safety valves of mutual concession and
conciliation. Then in that case, but hardly other-
wise, Jou:1 BULL may with.perfcct equanimity, and

" with a will," give the national starting signal,
" All right,"—adding, 'even it may be at a timely
hint from Mr. BRIGHT, the
.bolder incentive of
BROTHER JONATHAN, " Go-a-head!" Particularly
we would hope this when the time arrives for the
Parliamentary train being shunted on to the new
line upon the broad guage of Reform in the Popular
Representation. JOHN BULL, however, has yet to
give the signal " All right !" JOHN BRIGHT has
yet (at least in the House of Commons) to give the
other bolder signal, " Go-a-head'." They are only
now, as it were, getting up the steam, making
ready for the start. When the moment for the first
move comes, then shall we for our part add with
all sincerity and independence—En avant! Bon
voyage! Then shall we trust hopefully to the last,
even should it be, as the saying is, " against hope,"—
that the dreaded explosion may be spared to us
even though we are working the State-engine thus
daringly at high pressure—with half a dozen sup-
plementary stokers upon it—the driver entrusted
with its guidance the while being remarkable above
all things for combining in his nature the dash of
a stripling and the unhesitating confidence of a
vigorous and vivacious septuagenarian.

THI WAR IN ITALY.

The following telegrams have been received at

Mr. Reuter's office :

TURIN, JUNE 17.

The official Bulletin published to-day announces
from Tuscany, that Prince Napoleon has com-
menced the movement of his troops. 10,000 Tus-

with him.

Ravenna has pronounced for the national cause
and a manifesto has been published declaring the
adhesion of that town to a Central Government
established at Bologna, which is to be placed under
the Dictatorship of the King of Sardinia. The
manifesto also expresses the unanimous wish to be
enabled some day to form part of a monarchy
worthy of the gratitude of the Italians.

BERNE, JUNE 17.
A telegram from Coire announces that a nume-
rous Austrian Corps, coming from Stelv:o, has

released from the command of the second corps
d'arniee, which has been given to Count Schlick,
General of Cavalry.

NAPLES, JUNE 17.

An amnesty has been proclaimed. Those con-
demned for political offences are amnestied, not
including those amnestied on the 27th of December
and 18th of 31arch. The latter are to remain under
surveillance ; those suspected are pardoned.
Common sentences are shortened by three years.

The Moniteur contains the two decrees promoting
Generals MacMahon and Regnault de St. Jean-
Angel), to the dignity of Marshals of France, and
conferring on the former; the title of Duke de
Magenta. Both are dated Magenta the sth, the
day after the" battle. A third decree promotes
General of Brigade Decaen to the rank of General

of Division.
"We had reason to contradict," says the Nord,
" the reports which have been current relative to
the approaching return of the Emperor to Paris.
We understand that such a thing has never been
thought of. His Majesty is actively occupied with
the plans of the new campaign, and the concentra-
tion of his troops. In a few days the blanks in all
the regiments will have been filled up. Prince
Napoleon, whose attention has been up to the
present time absorbed by the organisation of the sth
corps d'armee under his command, is impatient to
distinguish himself in the second series of opera-
tions which are about to commence."

While two of the line-of-battle ships remain at

Behind the large island of Malamocco we perceive

day to reconnoitre the position of the squadron,
which is gradually getting closer to the shore.
The admiral's vessel two days ago stood along the
coast for some distance, and was fired at from the
Alborini fort, but the balls fell short. An English
vessel which left the port of Venice a day or two
since told us that the inhabitants only waited for
the first signal to rise, and that provisions were
becoming scarce. Reports were purposely spread
that the Austrians had gained great victories, but
they were not believed by the Venetians."
The Algiers journals express great satisfaction at
the success of Marshal de M'Mahon at Magenta,
and boast that all the troops composing his corps
d'armee were drawn from Algeria.
" Discord, we are told," says the Siecle," prevails
in the camp of Agramant. Austria would fain find
somebody to bear the blame of her numerous de-
feats. Count Grunn, the Minister of War, is now
accused of having done all the mischief, awl the
rumour runs that he is to be replaced by Count
Coronini, Governor of Austrian Servia, who has
been summoned to Verona. There was some inten-
tion of giving the chief command to General
Benedek, but he is the son of a Hungarian
chemist ; and the Imperial courtiers would regard
it as a revolutionary measure, if the Emperor pre-
ferred a man of humble birth to Princes and field-
marshals belonging to the aristocracy."
The Milan Gazette publishes two royal decrees.
The first, dated the 9th, enacts that all direct
and indirect taxes now existing in Lombardy
shall provisionally remain in force. Nevertheless,
the taxes, laws, and regulations relating to the
royal monopolies (of salt, tobacco, &e.), are at once
to be assimilated to those of Piedmont ; and this
being accomplished, the customs-line existing be-
tween Lombardy and Piedmont is to be suppressed.
By the second decree, dated the 9th, no municipal
taxes are to be levied during the war on stores and
provisions intended for the army; but such com-
munes as shall have suffered loss by this enactment
shall subsequently receive compensation.
The Piedmontese Glizette of the 15th heads its
columns with a long official account of the circum-
stances under which the Cignoli family were shot
at Torricella on the 20th of May, as stated at the
time. From this account it appears that the victims
were ten, and not eight; four not belonging to the
family. The youngest was fourteen. The father
was picked up afterwards half dead, and taken to
the hospital of Voghera, where he died two days
hiter, declaring that their only crime was their
having had a bag of small shot in the house. This
account is followed by the judicial deposition of a
beadle, who was taken by the Austrians to serve as
a guide, and who witnessed the whole scene. The
unfortunate people were taken before a general, who
ordered their execution, and afterwards gave the

beadle a visiting-card as a safe conduct to return
home with. The card which was produced, bore
the following words :—" Feldmarschall-Lieute-
nant Urban." The same journal publishes the ad-
dress to the King of Sardinia, by which Parma, on
the strength of the events of 1848, solicits its an-
nexation to Piedmont, as already mentioned. The
appearance of this document in the official journal,
without any comment, leads to the conclusion that
the prayer has been granted. It is further stated
that the Piedmontese General Ribotti, with two
adjutants, arrived at Parma on the 12th, and im-
mediately paid a visit to the Government Commis-
sion, who returned the compliment in their official
capacity on the following day.
The Royal Commission Extraordinary of the
divisions of Novara, Vercelli, and Ivrea has issued
a circular to the intendants-general, intendants,
and syndics of those territories, requesting
them to institute inquiries concerning the amount
of damage done by the Austrians, whether by re-
quisition or otherwise, as also the acts of violence,
threats, and criminal suggestions to the people, of
which they have been guilty during their stay.
The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa publishes a
detailed account of the events at Bologna, with the
proclamations of the municipality and the Govern-
ment Junta appointed by the municipality. The
principal events have already been stated ; we need
therefore only add that, not only was the Italian
tricolour hoisted, but also the Papal arms lowered, a
demonstration of some significance. On the other
hand, it had been stated that Victor Emmanuel had
been proclaimed, from which it was inferred that
the annexation of Bologna to Piedmont had been
declared ; this, however, does not appear to have
been the case ; since in the proclamation of the
Government Junta, signed by Marquis Pepoli,
Count Malvezzi, M. Tanari, and M. Casarini, it is
stated that the King has only been invited to
extend his dictatorship to Bologna, although the
people " had expressed the spontaneous and unani-
mous desire of being united to the glorious
monarchy of Savoy." It is added that prudence
commanded the course which has been adopted.
The Vienna Gazette publishes the following
official despatches :
" Verona, 13th, 9 a.m.—The army is marching
to occupy a position selected by the Emperor, who
takes the immediate command. The march is
effected without the least annoyance from the
enemy."
" Verona, 13th, 4 p.m.—We are now able to give
more ample details on the combat of the rear-guard
at Malegnano, and also respecting the evacuation
of Piacenza. On the Bth inst., the Roden Brigade,
belonging to the Berger division of the rear-guard
of the Bth corps d'artnee, was stationed at Maleg-
nano. At half-past five in the evening, three
columns of the enemy advanced upon that lo-
cality from Milan. The attacking column, which
came along the high-road, was composed of three
battalions, six guns, and a division of cavalry. Of
the other two columns, that of the right wing was
of the same strength, with ten guns, and some
congreve rockets ; that of the left wing was rather
weaker, and had only two guns. At 5.45 the enemy
began the attack by a brisk cannonade. The
battery of the Roden Brigade replied to the
enemy's artillery, which was more than double the
Austrian, and fired with such persiA.ence and
efficacy as to cause the enemy great Toss. Half
an hour later the Roden brigade having mean-
while again penetrated into the locality of Maleg-
nano, the enemy made a strong attack of
infantry on the right flank of the brigade,
threatening its communication by the bridge of
the Lambro, and its lino of retreat towards Lod
with forces sobreatly superior that the detach
ments which had entered Malegnano were of
course recalled. The battery kept up its fire well
to the last ; during this interval the Boer Brigade,
which had kept in the rear of Malegnano, had
come up to support the troops engaged, and taking
up a position near Castello Bernardi, occupied that
domain chosen as the point of junction, up to the
moment at which the last wounded w ere removed.
It there received the detachments which retired
from Malegnano, whilst the enemy, who had passed
to the left bank of the Lambro, completely swept
the whole road in all its length from La Capueeini.
A violent thunderstorm, and no doubt the intention
ofmarching on Pavia, caused the enemy soon to cease
the combat ; and Berger's division continued, with-
out being disturbed, its march towards Lodi in its
quality of rear-guard of the Bth corps. In this
combat, as always, our troops fought heroically.
The report of the commander of the army dwells
particularly on the brilliant bravery of the offi-
cers, who, setting the example to their troops,
were always the first in the combat, and too
often, alas ! met the death of heroes. We have
not yet obtained the detail of the losses sustained
at the combat of Malegnano, and consequently we
cannot at present give the names of the officers
killed or wounded; we will make them known
hereafter_... Our loss in killed and wounded is 250
men, and among the former Major-General Boer,
who, gravely wounded, succumbed whilst being
conveyed to Lodi. The evacuation of Pia-
cenza, decided on and ordered in accord with
the movements of the army, was effected on the
9th and 10th. The forts and blockhouses of the
earthworks, and a pier and two arches
The of the
er bridge
over the Trebbia were blown up. greatpart
of the cannons were put in barges and towed away
by steamers, of which pioneers formed the
either
crew.
Some could not be taken away, and were
spiked or burst. The garrison marched towards
Pizzighettone, and there joined the army. When
all the artillery ar.d the ammunition were conveyed
to Mantua, and when the bridge over the Adda was
burned down, Pizzighettone was likewise on the
11th evacuated."
The evacuation of Piacenza and Bologna by
the Austrian troops is represented by the Aus-
trian journals as a measure of greater political than
strategical importance. The Ostdeutsche Post
thinks that the Cabinet of Vienna, by that measure,
wishes to take away from the new Palmerston
Ministry any pretext for bringing forward its
favourite theme of the military intervention of
Austria in the States of the Italian Peninsula.
The German journals have become somewhat
calmer. The French Journal de Francfort, in dis-
cussing the Russian circular, considers that all such
documents, tending to the localisation of the war,
cannot fail to complicate the pending question. The
defensive character of the Germanic Confederation
ought only,accor din g to this organ of Austrian policy,
to be interpreted by the Confederation itself, and
there exists, it says, a very precise prescription in
the Federal law's relative to the participation of
the Confederation in a foreign war, of course, for
the defence of German interests. In announcing
that the Austrian army is retiring towards the
Mincio, the same journal does not hesitate to say
that Austria is only continuing the war "in order
to decide if Italy is to be free to the Adriatic
or not." So that, according to this journal, the
question at stake is only a game played for
honour's sake, and the Vie-nna, Cabinet only engages
in it in otder to show that it can play well. The
Cologne Gazette states that in reply to certain pro-
positions for peace coming from abroad, the Aus-
trian Cabinet has declared that it was not yet dis-
posed to consider the game as lost. The Austrian
Correspondence repeats on every occasion the same
assertion—that at Marignan, as everywhere else,
the Austrians only ceded to superiority of num-
bers. But if by means of this excuse the Corres-
pondence saves the bravery of its soldiers, it
singularly compromises the strategical science of its
generals.

FRANCE.

PARIS, JUNE 11.
The French Committee in Paris for the Affairs of
Italy have issued an address, through M. Ravin/
the political director of the Siecle, to the three
leaders in the Italian struggle, viz., General Gari-
baldi, General Ulloa, and M. Cavour: They, per-
haps, complete the proclamation of the Emperor
Napoleon to the French people, and are as follows :
"To GENERAL GARIBALDI .
" General,—You have comprehended that ht

which
wishes to become independent and free ought to
helping itself. At the moment when our soldiers, worthy
of their predecessors, gained at Montebello the first victory
in the holy war, which must not end until Venice is set
free, you boldly penetrated to the Lombard territory—you
called on your Italian brothers to shake off the
infamous
yoke of Austria ; and the successes opf

and Como marked each of your steps.

them with so much courage and skill. You and your com-
panions represent particularly the resurrection of Italy by
Italy. It is on that ground that we pray you to accept the
homage conferred by thousands of subscribers. It will
prove to the brave who followo.h3trour flag that in France
they blow not only how to fight but how to admire and
honour thos' who raise themselves by patriotism, devoted-

" General,—You, with the great Manin, defended to the
last hour Italian nationality which had taken refuge in
Venice. When Piedmont again raised with a courageous
hand the flag of that nationality, you once more grasped
the sword of Malghera, and rushed forward at the first call
to the holy war ! The band which contended in the
Adriatic with so much vigour and constancy renders to-
day new and great services to the cause of Italian indepen-
dence. You are organising to-day—you will conquer to
morrow side by aide with the soldiers of France. Thousands
of volunteers, from all parts of Central Italy, have rallied
with enthusiasm to your heroic name. These volunteers
will, doubtless, prove themselves to be worthy rivals of those
who cover themselves with glory under the orders of your
brother in arms—General Garibaldi. We pray you, Gene-
ral, to accept the arm which is offered to you by the nume-
rous adherents to the subscription opened by the Siecle for
the Italian volunteers. May it bear good fortune to the
soldiers I It is a great happiness to me to be charged to
present you this remarkable proof of the esteem and sym-
pathy of my fellow-citizens, and you will not doubt of the
pleasure I feel at seeing the sentiments which I bear you
participated by thousands of subscribers.

of Italy is about to procure the deliverance of this noble
mother of modern civilisation. The labour of national in-
dependence being accomplished, your name will be enrolled
among those of the most illustrious benefactors of your
heroic country.
" Happy are the Governments—happy the nations that
have Ministers like you. _ _

"You have prepared, with an able and courageous per-
severance, the alliance, henceforth indissoluble, which now
enables Italy to resume her place among the nations. When
the hour of organization shall strike, you will again pre-
pare an Italy capable of defying new invasions. You who
have always governed with libery, you will not forget it ; it
will be the first fruit of the victory. It has already made
the grandeur of Sardinia ; it will hereafter make that of the
Peninsula.
"It is at once to the Italian patriot, to the statesman, to
the promoter of the French alliance, that we wish to offer
a testimony of our respectful sympathy.
"We offer it to you, then, in the namo of all the French,
who, in anticipation of the struggle now engaged, sub- ,
scribed for the guns of Alossandria.
"We offer it to you in the name of all those who, by
raising a monument to Mania, inscribed on marble and
on bronze the great thought of the hero of Venice in favour
of the unity and the independence of Italy.
" Finally, we offer it in the name of all the victims of
Austrian tyranny, of the proscribed, of the young volun-
teers who owe to the generous policy of Victor Em-
manuel and to you the signal honour of combating by
the side of our valiant legions to make free the soil of
Italy from the Alps to the Adriatic.—Accept, &c.,
" HAVIN."
