Without adyertiog to the justice and wisdom
exhibited in the items of the table Of expenditure
snd their relative proportions, merely call attea-
ton 10 the surplus of 1884 POI, while the sgsre-
gste Austrian budget of the esme year shows
deficit Of over S2l 90 900, and tO the fact tnss
these excuses OF the Of the Italian prov

Austrian Government removed in March from thor
places of deposit to Verons, under the pretext OF
saving them from French and Piedmontese rapa-

To Judge correctly of the position Of the King Of
Piedmont in regard to this peace, you must NOT
loose sight of the fact that while the two Empsrors
may make pesce on any terms to their hearts
| content, without restraint or responsibility,
| he has to obtain the sanction of his Parliament
| to its conditions. Hardly ten years have
elapsed since the ratification OF the peace made
with Austria after the unhappy battle OF Novara
could only be obtained after repeated adjoura-
ments, dssoIutions of Parchment, aud changes
| of Ministry. And then Piedmont was entirely AZ
the mercy of Austria. The present Ministers, all
Of them took too active part in those proceedings
not 10 BE- aware that now after series OF spleadA
victories, peace which would in any way preJu-
dice the material interests, or derogate from the
dignity of the country would meet with anything
but friendly, OF even resigned reception. Nor
is there anyt thing in the state of public opinion. or
| in the coup position Of Parliament, which promises
great forbearance and discretion on the part OF tho
representatives Of the people. told you in ny
last letters what the prevailing feelings Of tho
patriotic party are in regard TO the pesce and
its author, and the dstsils which are now COM
ing daily to light concerning the suspicious
| transaction at lVIllsfrancs have certainly not
gone far to all,y these feelings. To add
to these difficulties, the clerical party, which
though in small minority, is how
ever strong and talented enough to make its weight
fe't in Parliament in discussion and close vote,
has come out against the peace. Within the last
few days twelve members of the Lower House OF
Parliament, all elected in the Province Of Savoy,
which is entirely under the influence of the Josu,ts
have published q manifesto bearing their sig
natures, in which they declare "that they
will apply all their efforts to obtain for Savoy re-
lease from her financial and military Contingent,
and an exemption from all the burdens Of the lato
war"
The necessity of gettpg over this critical question
is 70 much the more pressing 40 ii will be legaly

Lonbardy, and 10 the urgently. needed legislative

with municipal ard provincial franchises; new

the command of one common leader, and OF resist

the news is confirmed that Garbaldi is about taking
his leave of the PiedmOntese army and that great
