Count Carorr-Thank you. continuing
Piedmont would take as a war indemnity, and thus
would relieve them from the anarchy and oppression
under which they groan.
Lord ClarcndOn-The proposition Of Count Cavour
appears to me most reasonable, and as meritng most
energetic support.
CONT Ori6-I second energetically the proposition
of Count Cavour.
Count Buoi-A proposal supported with so much
warmth by England and Russia deserves serious con-
sideIation. | desire, however, to remark that the
proposition Of Count CavJur would establish de-
plorabe precedent for if the treaties of'l5 can be re-
vsed in one part there is reason why they should
not be Oyerhaued in all their parts Now, 1t England
be disposed to abandon Gibraltar Malta and the lonian

other portions of Italy be occupied-if more military
commissions be requsite-AusiIia is ready to make
any sacrifices to insure tranquility in Italy and IN
Europe.
Copnt WaL,cski-Quite the contrary my dear

pressons breed discomfort and kindle revolt.
