TAB POLICY OF COURT CAVOUR.
In the Sardinian Chamber of Deputies, on the
11th ulfc., Count Cavour closed the debate by the
following exposition of the piat acd future policy
of the two librating Powers of Italy : ’>
Gentlemen: If I had entertained any doubt as to
the opportunity of the determination the King’s
Government has oomoto of calling Parliament to
gether with h view to lay before you for deiibord*
turn the conditions of the country, and obtain vont
vote as to the direction to bo given to public Affaire,
that doubt would have been entlroly removed by
the disoussion whioh continues after Lur days 5 ’fs
l think we must alt feel that this debate has te*,
moved many fears, oloared many doubts, and
greatly reoenoiled men’s minds and hearts. Gen
tlemen. In good sooth, the distance which one
think sundered the parties in this Chamber has
been groatly narrowed, to that I can almost asge.rt
that, with one splendid exception (Ferrari), all
agree as to the neoeasitj of promoting tho imme
diate manifestation of tbe votes of tho southern
Italian people. lam glad to bo ablotodo thisjhs;'
tioe to tbe members who roso to oppose this bill.-
Even those who spoke with the most excited voice,
even the Hon M. Mollana himself hastened'to de-'
glare that tho entrance of the King and of oor troops
into the Heapolitan territory so materially modi
fies the state of affairs that he also acknowledges
the expediency of no longer potting off tho mani
festation of thatvoto. If, therefore, any diteent
exists among os, H is only as to the way Govern
ment proposes to fo low in order to bring about this"
annexation; end it was on this point that the Cabi
net appealed to tho voto of the Chamber ts to'lhe
political direction they have given to publio affairs.
DtMEDIATS AX&SXATXOK DEPKHDED.
The main argument to which our honorable op
ponents resorted to oCnsuro the Government, was,
that the way proposed by it was open to contra
diction with tuo precedents of the jEtoilion and
TusCan votes of last year. It seemed strange that
we should sow advise a system which had nchbedn
adopted’with regard to those two,noble proviuocs.
gome of tho orotojs who preoodod me, especially
my friends the honorable Hisghetti and Galcotti,
mot that objection, and proved that if the ahnexo
ticn of Tusoany and i&milia was not accomplished
immediately atter the dolivoranoo of thoso pro
vinocs, it was not tho fault of tfeoso people cor of
tho illustrious oltisens aalled by tbemuto rulb their
destinies. Imust say, fo? my own part, that if
that annexation was not imoiodiatoly brought'to
pass, neither was tho King's Government to blame
for tho delay. I|ere I speak not merely for the
ministers who pow have tho management of pub
lic affairs, but also ministry. Uruly, gentlemen)
was it possible immediately after luo peace of.
Villafranoa, and while -the negotiations of Zu
rich weroctiil pending, that Government should'
aooopt the votes of tho Tuscans and the iEtnliians
asking for immediate annexation? If you r&llect
on the condition the country was in, pot only with
respect to Austria, but also to you must
tho answer given King at
Turin to tho deputations from TnsWny afid tho
Duchies, and at Milan to those of tbe legations,
was neither a timid nor a cautions which, in
deed, reached thfLOXtreme limit, beyond whioh it
would have become rashness' It Government
could sot aooopt the annexation on tho fcve of tb«
treaty of Zurich, neither could it do zoob the
morrow of that important transaction.
Tpa pcnopxAK coxGßEsg ahi? wuy IT PAlhap’.
Nevertholoss, the times wore becoming rporo fa
vorable; but there aroae in Earopo u prpposal. for
some time cherished by all the great Powers, s'f-n
Snropean Copgross, wlaob was to mcot on tbe W>s>B
of non-intervention proclaimed’Ey two of
bash, that is, acknowledging the legitimacy of tho
voto of the Italians. So long os this Congress was ex
pected to assomblo on terms ??hloh one might hope
would be favorable to Italy, it would have been no
prudence—nay, it would hate been fbliy—to hurry
on that annexation which the Governments most be
nevolent to us advised us to put off. When all the
ohancos of a Congress were at an end, tho ministers
then In power (Rattczzi) determined to send amis
sion to London and Peris to hasten tho annexation*
I could not blame that act, as I, at that junoture,
acoeptod to be the roprosontalivo of our Govern*
moot In those two great oapitals. Tho. mission had
no effi ot; a ministerial orials then occurred, which,
as I may truly affirm, without fear of contradiction,
did sot arise from causes relating to our foreign
policy, but merely from matters belonging, to our
home Government.
TUB ILLEGALITY OF THE AHHEXATIO.N OF TUdCAnV.
X shall allude no furtbor to these matters, bo*.*
cause in these solemn momoDts, far from wishing
to revivo those recollections, I only wish X had tbo
>ower to tffaco them from all men’s minds. [Pro
ongod applause.] Tho no* Cabinet hastened to
jrojnote that annexation; but as it met with so
cious obslaolcs on the pert pt diplomacy, it resmcd
a wiao oourse to associate the Parliament in its
accomplishment. When, thorofyro, the Dictators
of Tußoany and /‘Emilia appealed to a Plebiscite,
the Ring's Government invited them to orpceoa
immediately to tho election of the deputies of
theso provinces, inviting them to sit in this House
By doing this,gentlemen—£ declare it openly-—we
departed from strict legality, we ventured on an ;
unconstitutional act. We bud’ not by right tho
jower to ask the deputies Of JErailla and Tuscany
o elt in Parliament, to deliberate togetbor with
the representatives of tho old provinces and Lorn*
bardy, as to tho annexation of theso new control
provinces. Your vote* however, unanimously sano
tionod this illegality. If to insure tho annexation
of Southern Italy, it were necessary to commit
other illegal aots, I have no doubt that the wboie
Cabinet, though we number among ua two learned
jurisprudents, zealous, high-priests of Themis,
laughter,] would take upon themselves the re
a jonsibility of the new .breaches of legality; but,
thank Heaven, this necessity does not oxlst;
TBS OBSTACLES TO TUB ANNEXATION OP SOUTH*
I will not say that the annexation of Southern
Italy may meet with no obstacles; but they are of
nature from thoso of last year. It is not
neoessary that this groat aot should be consecrated
by the deputies of all Italy, as there is no saoh ne
cessity; we deem it more iu keeping with the
spirit of our institutions, and more conduolvo to
their development, if we proceed legally; ond if,
when the people of Southern Italy are called upon
in the popular vomitia to deliberato on tholr;an
nexation, tbo deputies of the old provinces, In*
oladiog /Emilia and Tuscany, should give their
previous vote on this momontous question. Noitbor
am I moved by the argumenturgod by somo mem
bers, that we depart from legality if we vote a
treaty as yot not concluded; because, gentlemen,
wo ask for nolatitado as to tho terms of tho treaty.
You know what this treaty Is to bo. It is the un
conditional annexation of tbo South Italian people.
Wo cannot depart a single iota from thoso words
ooourring in the bill. If, therefore, gentlomen,
you do not sanction a treaty already made, you
rive the executive power a positive, invariable rule
for tho maty to bo entored into; and you mußtob
gervo that by this By stem you not only authorize
the Government to promote this annexation, but
settle In a solemn anu unshaken mannor this fact—
that you wish it without conditions.
Although Ido not exaggerate tho forces of the
municipal party in Naples and tiioily, and limit
them to a few, though distinguished Individuals,
yot this solemn vote of the Italian l’ar)|omont will
render far easier, fur lees debatable, this point on
which the people of South Italy will booaltedupon
to giro their vote. IthlaJc funvo sufficiently de
monstrated that tho objection of lionotyblo oppo
nents, as grounded oh tho prooodents of last year,
is groundless.

part of Italy will become impossible; lot us make
tho annexation, and the precedent of the treaty
of the34th of-JUaroh -will never be quoted against
us; for, gentlemen, tbe great principle of nation
ality, tho cornor-stone of our political edifice, oan
never be -fnvbkod in consideration of immense
sacrifices in men and money. Let tho anuoxa ion
bo made, and this demand would no longer bo mado
to a poople of 5,000,000, [with warmth ;] but it
would bo made to tho great Italian nation, a com
pact and'strong mass of 22,000,000 freemen. [Loud
applause.] Make the annexation, and evon if tho
inlnistors wore changed, I am confident' that tho
men sitting upon th4ee benches, no matter to what

Doubts weto started, explanations wore asked
upon two painfal but dclicato subjeots—Komo and

of State, and keep silent; I oould say to tho House,
“ Since we agree upon what is before pa to-rday,
why gbould wo bqsy eursolves with tho contingen

is thd oge pf publicity. * J think it best that Go

jsfaotion that, On tho practloal question, on the
present question, we are ail agreed; os, if I un
derstood tho Hon. hi Begnoll, who questioned mo
about Home, I think that he also agrees that it is
neither opportune ner honest'to go to Home as
long as that oltv is occupied by French troops.
Gentlemen, this is a question of tho future It is
a serious matter for a minister te have to give his
opinion as to great future contingencies; yet. I
acknowledge that a statesman, to bo worthy of the
name, mast have certain fixed points, which may
be, so to say, the bearings by which to steer his
course, only choosing or changing the means
to his ond accgrding to. events, but always keep
in view those points which are to bo his guidance.

answer may not, perhaps, satisfy the honorable
gentleman who asked what means we intend to
employ to this end* I could say I will answer
when yen, beforehand, tell me in what condition
Italy and Europo will be six months hence—[laugh

problem of Borne is not to be solved by the
alone. Tho sword is neoessary; it was, and ever
wift bo, to prevent extraneous elements meddling
with the solution of this question; but it 1b not the
sword alone that is’to out the knot. Moral foxcis
must aid in tho solution; and what are tbo moral

utterance to thp whole of my mind.
» flow TttS TtOMAW QUESTION WILL HE SOLVED.
I think the Eolation of tho Bom&n question must
arise from the conviction whioh will daily gain
ground in modem, society, even iu the great Catho
lic fiooloty, that freedom is highly favorable to tho
sproadot true religious fooling. [“ Bravd!”]'This

I know that this argument will not be admitted by
those orators who think little attention should be
paid to the opposition of other Porters.’ Yet, gen
tlemen, I think 1 must disoard this opinion, and
observe that tho disregard of the ■ opposition of
great nations has always proved fatal to Sovereigns
and to pooplo.' We have had instances of tremen
dous catastrophes arising from this want of respeot
to the feelings of other nations. At the opening of
the present oentury, the most famous warrior of
modern times disregarded the opinions of|the,peo
ple of Earope, and, notwithstanding his bxtraor
dinary genius, and his infinite resources; he fell
after o few years’ reign—fell miserably, never to
rise again, under the combined efforts of .Europe.
In times nearer to us another Emperor* who also
reckoned his soldiers by hundreds of thousands—
soldiors inferior in valor to no other soldiers—this
Emperor would not listen to tho remonstrances,of
other Powers, and thought he could, at bis own
pleasuro, settle his differences with the Ottoman
Power Well, this great potentate bad soob to.re*

But how? Tho opinion of Europe will change, be
oauso tho opposition wo now meet exists not only
m tho Governments, but, we must avow it. also in
a great part of tho population, even liberal, of
Europe. The opposition to tho enterprise of fho
liberation of Vonice arises from two causes:
i M? ret ia d<rabfc Earope entertains 1 of our
ability to constitute ourselves into a strong and
independent nation; it lies in its ignorande.of the
moans of whioh we may dispose, in its conviction
that wo ore unable alone to accomplish so great an
andortaking. This opinion it is for us to rectify;
lot us organize ourselves; let us show that ho fatal
germ of diaoord anffdissolution exists among us; '
let us constitute a strong State, whioh may notch
|y muster up a formidable army and a considera
ble navy, but whioh may rest on the unanimous
censont of the pooplo; thou will European jopmion
bo modified, and light will shine on these .Euro*

to tho possibility of emanplputiDg that unhappy
and noble province of Italy. There dwell* also in :
tho minds of some people the notidn thatifc is still
possible to rcconoile the people of that province
to tho Austrian dominion. The idea is, however,
waning fast Yenetia cannot bo rcoouoiled with
the Austrian ompiro. No concession, no fqvor, no
possible arrangement can induce the Venetians to
givo up those aspirations which urge them towards
the great Italian family If this was true in past
times, how muoh moro true will It not be'for tho
future? Sinoe the moral world, gentlemen, is

AUSTRIAN RULE IN VENICE,
For tho rest, gentlemen, this fact has been ac
knowledged by the Government itself of Venioo.
At Villafranoa, the Emperor of Austria, I doubt
not, hod a rincoro wish to introduce into Venefia a
conciliatory system, to endeavor by befiefioent
measures to bring back morally that province to
his Empire. ;
Ho tried it for some time, but ho soon saw lae
was on tho wrong trnok, and fell baoK on his sys
tem of repression. Nor can I blamo him for it.
So long as the Empire needs keop Venico an irre*
slsiiblo fatality drives it to moasuros of coercion
and severity. When these truths shall have

tho pooplo have Tn this present ago. iu this

that sotlles the destinies of tho poople; it is the

PROCLAMATION OF KING VICTOR. EM
MANUEL. j
“To tui? People of Southern Italy.
“At a solomn moment for tho national history
and for the dostiuios cf tho oountry I address my
word to you, peoplo of Southern Italy, who,
having, in my namo, changed tho Stato, send mo
deputations of every olass of citizens, magistrates,
ami representatives of your municipal bodies, aak
iog to do roatorod to order, blessed with freedom,
and united with my kingdom. I will toll‘you by
what thought I am guided, and what is my con
sciousness of the duties whioh a man placed by
Providence on an Italian throne ought to fulfil.
“I asoonded tho throne after a groat national
calamity. My fathoT guT© mo n lofty osampta by
abdicating tho orown to bovo hiß own dignity and
tho freedom of his peoplo. Charles Albert f&ll,
sword in band, nnd died in exile. His delath as
sociated moro and moro tho dostinios of family
with thoso of tho Italian people, who for bo many
centuries have given to all foreign lands tho
bones of tloir oxilcs as a pledge for restoring tho
inheritance of every nation placed by Goc] within
tho sarno boundaries, and joined together by tho
bond of a common language. I educated myself
bv that example, ond tho memory of my fathor
was my guardian star. I could never hesitate In
my choioo betwoen a orown and tho wors I had
given. I strengthened freedom in an opooh not
very favorable to freedom, and I wished that, as it
developed itself, it should take root In ths manners
of tho people, for I could nover harbor any jea
lousy or suspicion of what was dear to my peoplo.
By preserving freedom in Piedmont, I religiously
respected the heritage whioh tho prophotio mind
of my August fathor had bequeathed to all Italians.
By representative franohiso, by popular education,
by the freedom of trade and industry, I endea
vored to increase the wcll-boing of my people: t
wished that tho Catholio religion should be respect
ed, but also that evory man should be tree in tho
sanotuary of his own oenroionoe; and, by strength
ening civil authority, lopenly resisted thqt-obstl
nato and schoming faction which boasts to be the
only friend and guardian of the throne, but which
aims at ruling in the Dame of kings, and 'plaoing
between the sovereign and the people tho barriers
of its intolerant passtans. >
“ This system of government could not bo with
out effect upon the rest of Italy. The concord be
tween the sovereign and the people in thepurposo
of national independence and of civil and politloal
liberty, tho parliamentary tribune and tho froe
press, and tho army, whteh had preserved it 3 mili
tary traditions under iho tricolor, raised Piedmont
to tho Task of standard-bearer and arm Of Italy.
Tho strength of my monarchy was not the result
of tho arts of a clandestine policy, bot of the open
influence of Ideas und of publio opinion.; I was
thus enabled to maintain in that part of theXtaHan
people which was united under my eceptre the no
tion of a national leadership (egemoiiia,) whenco
was to spring tho conooidnnt harmony of tho seve
ral provinces in ono &ioglo nation.
“Italy was able to understand my conception
when she behold my soldiers sent into the,‘fields- of
tho Crimoa beside the troops of the two great.
Western Powors. I wished thereby te acquire for
Itnly tho right of participating in all acts
ing tho interests ef Europo. At the Congress of
Paris my ambassadors were ablo to speak for* tho
first time to Europo of your sufferings. It btoamo
dear to all men how the propondorauoo of Austria
in Italy was injurious to tho balance Of power
in Europe, and what dangers beset the inde
pendence and freedom ol Europe so long us the
rest of tbo Peninsula wan subject to foreign in
fluence.
“ My magnanimous ally, the ISmporor Napoleon
111., felt that tho Italian cause was worthy of tho
great nation he rules. A righteous war inaugu
rated Uve new destinies of ear country. ‘The Ita
lian soldiers fought nobly betide the unqofiquered
legions of Franco. Tho volunteers, hastening from
all Italian provinces, from all Italian) families,
undor tho Cross of Savoy, showed that iall Italy
had invested me with tho right of speaking and
fighting in her namo Policy put an end to tho
wot, but not to its effcetß, whioh went on wlthtfioir
development, following the unswerving logic of
, events and of popular movement j
“ Had I been actuated by that ambition whioh
la ascribed to my family by thoso who dd not v con
sider the nature of tho times, I could havo been
satisfied with tho acquisition of Lombardy; but I
had shed the precious blood of my soldiers, not for
my£Qif, but lot Italy. I had called the Italians to
arms. Several Italian provinces had changed their
form of govornment to join in tho way of indo
pondecoo—a war opposed by their prinobs. Aftor
tho poaoo of Villafranca those provincos'asked my
protection against the threatened restoration of
their formor Governments’. If the events of Cen
tral Italy wore the oonsequonoo of the war to which
wo had calßd the peoplo, if the cystem of foreign
imoivoution was forovor to bo banished from Italy,
I had a duty .to recognize, and to uphold-the
right of those peoplo legally and freely to utter
their voto. I Withdrew my GnTernmont—they made
an erderly Government; I witbdrow my troops—
they organised regular foroos, and, v[oing with
eaoh other in unanimity and civil virtues, they
rose to so high a reputation and atrongth, that
nothing but tho overbearing violence of foreign
arms oould have subdued them. lha,nks to the
wisdom of tho Central Italian people; tho‘ mo
narchlcalidoaconstantly gainod strength, and mo
narchy gave a moral guidonce to peaceful
popular movement. Thus did Italy rise in iho’es-,
timation of civilized nntions/and it beoame dear
to ail Europo that the,ltalians were fit for self--
government. j
“ Whon I oosepted tho annexation 1 knew whnt

oould not broak tbo word I had given to the Xtalinso

naturally prepared the people for a ohenge, If
V*® outcry of public. opinion and the efforts of
diplomacy proved to bo of no avail. I offered the
young successor of that King an alliance! for the
war-of independence. But there also'l found
souls closed against all Italian
darkened by passion and obstinacy. It was natu
ral that the events In Northern and Central Italy
should arouse men’s minds in the South. In
pieily the, excitement broko out into open insur
rection. A fight began for froodom in'Sicily,
when's brave warrior, devoted to Italy and to me
(Gon. Garibaldi,? sailed to its aid. They were
Italians. Could I, ought I, to have prevented
. m 'n. Tbo of the Government' of 'Naples
strengthened, in my heart, the conviction that
rfings and governments should build their thrones
on the Jove and esteem of tho pooplo. The Haw
Government in the Two SJoities was inaugurated
in my name. But some of its cots caused ) appre
hension, lest it should not, in every respect, well
interpret that jolioy which is represented by
my name. It was feared throogbont Italy that,
the shade of a gloriouß popularity, of a
long-tried honesty, a-faction should muster whioh
was ready to sacrifice tho forthcoming triumph of
the national oauao to tho chimeras of Its ambitions
fanaticism. All Italians turned to mo to avert this
daugor. It was my duty to do it, because in tho
present emorgenoy it would be nb moderation, no
Wisdom, but weakness and imprudence, not to take
with a strong-band the direction of that national
movoment for which I am responsible' before
Europe. • I have Bout my soldiers into the Marohes
and Umbria, and scattered that ill-sorted mob of
pooplo of all nations and tongues which had
gathered there as a new, strange phase of foreign
xntervontloh and tho worst of all. I have pro-,
claimed Italy for the Italians; and will) neve?”
allow Italy to become tho neat of cosmopolitan

or to farther tbo objects of universal demagogy.

MAZ7.INI DEFUSES TO LEAVE NAPLES —;HIS REPLY
TO THK PRO-DICTATOR.
Tho following. is the answer of Joseph Mazzini
to tho command addressed to him fay the Pro-Dic
tator PaUavicim to quit Naples: ;
“ I think I possess a generous mind, and it is for
that roason that I reply by a refusal to you? letter
of the 31, which I only re3d to-day In the Ops*
Nazionatt. If I only yielded to my first
impulse, and to fatigue of mind, I should leave a
land which I incumber, and withdraw to one
where liberty of opinion is left to every one,'where
good faith is not doubted, und whera he who has
labored and suffered for tho country does no£ think
H his duly to say to the brother who has dene the
satne, ‘Begone.’ You give no other reason for
your proposition, exoept it be the afiirmatioh that,
without wishing It; I oause division. I wIU give
.you the reason of my refusal »
“Ido so because I,do not feel myself jguilty,
nor. cause danger for the country,
jcaia which may be disastrous, to it, and I should
appear to avow such to bo thß oase by yielding;
because, as an XtolisD,.in an Italian land j whioh
has recovered liberty, I think X ought to represent
and support in my person the right of every Italian
to - live in hi 3 own country when he does hot at
taok. its Jaws,, and.the duty of not yielding to an
unmerited bsiftclsm,* because, aftor having con
tributed to- tcacb, as much as wJia in-myjpowcr,
the people of Italy to make groat sacrifices, jt'
appoars to me that 2c is time to raise theinto a
consciousness of human dignity too often vio
lated,'Qnd to tho maxim forgotten by thope who
stylo themselves preachers of conoord and mo- j
deration; beenneo no ono founds his own liberty '
without. respecting that of others; because it j
would appear to mo that, by voluntarily exiling 1
myself, I should bo guilty of, insult to my .
country, which cannot, without dishonoring j
itself in tho eyes of Eafope, render; itself ]
guilty of tyranny; to tho King, who cannot fear
an individual-without admitting himself to be
weak, and not secure of tho affection of his sub
jects, and to the men of your party who oannot bo
excited at tho presence of a man declared by them j
to bo alone and abandoned, without contradicting J
themselves; because the desire comes not, as you ,
think, from tho country which labors and combats l
under -the flag of Garibaldi, but from the, Turin !
Ministry, toward whom I havo no debt, and whom
I think fatal to the unity of the country ;♦ it comes
from in*riguors without opnsoionce, without honor,
and without national morality ; without oreed, ex
oept, for the existing power, whatever it may be,
and whom I consequently despise; It comes from
the vulgnr.naasaof orednlous men, who swear with
out examination by the word of the Almighty, and
whom I consequently pity. Lastly, because on
arriving I recuvod a declaration from the Dic
tator of this oountry that I was free' in tho
land of the free. The greatest sacrifice I
over made was when' interrupting tho apos
folate of my faith for tho sake of unity and
ooncord. X declared that I accepted monarchy,
not out of rospeot for ministers or rao'narcbs, but
for tho satisfaction of a blinded majority; of tho
Italian people; that I was ready to 00-operate
with tho monarchy, provided U founded tbo unity
of the nation, and that if I ever wero to take up'
• my old flag again I would earnestly avow it, and
publicly,too, to my old friends and onomies X, there
fore, cannot spontaneously mako another sacrifice.
If honest men, as you say, believe in my word, it
is their duty to convince my adversaries that the
path of intolerance which they pursue is tho only
now existing foment ot anarchy. If they, do sot
believe.a man who has been struggling fo? the
liberty of the nation lor these thirty years, who
has taught - his accusers to stammer out tbo name
of unity, BDd who cover told a falsehood' to any
living being, let it bo so. The ingratitude, of men
is not a reason why I should voluntarily bow be
fore tboir injustice, and sanction it.

Extract of a letter dated Bstnasoac* September
20,1860: *
“The Christians ask, 1 How can we again trust
the Juoflloxns and Government of Damascus? How
oan we see the blood of our brethren on the walls
and stones,-and their bones in the streets and
houses f How can we look in the face of the mur
derers of our fathers, brothers, sons, relatives,
priests, and Christian brethren? How-can we
live with those who outraged our women, and de
stroyed our houses, our churches, and our quarter?
How oan wo stay hero when we see that the
Moslems are enraged against us because of the
punishment, end because their hfauW are given to
us, and aayLthat ,a day, of veogeecce will come
whenjugtt Pasha gate; and that next time they
will spare neither man nor woman? • -
There'aft thousands cf murderers who have
never been questioned, or who, though hidden or
absent, will goo'a'reappaar in tho city; and how
can we live among them ? How can vie* stay here
where we hare no employment? TVbat prospect
of resaming our employ menu have'we ? we have
been frightened to death; we are becoming sick,
and dying from the fear and anxiety wo have &n*
•dared. - Oar hearts are burned; the least thing
terrifies us; we have no heart to stay here. Let
us only get to a Christian land. Before the massa
cre, when the Moslems said they would rise and
murder us, Ao., we did not believe anything.
They did it all; now we belleve everything. AU
this is true and reasonable, and no one ought to
blame them for abandoning Damascus, er be sur
i prised at it. Englishmen who have never known
I danger, wbo have never felt such & state of things,
I have no right to say a word against them. Add to
I all this that their condition is moss miserable.
| They are orowded into houses without furniture,
| comfort, or conveniences. They are idle all
: day. Tho sickness among them has increased
to a frightful degree, and seems increasing. The
mortality is great and increasing? They have
neither mediosl help nor the consolations of their
religion, and the terrors of a renewed massacre is
constantly in their minds. They need not resort
to lies to claim or excite pity. If sickness and
death continuo to inorease there will soon be few
Christians here to trouble the Government or any
1 ono else. Let a man make the case his own.
i TYonid yon or I stay a day in such circumstances
in Damascus if we could get'outof it? I shall re
’ gard any attempt to force tho Damascenes to re*
1 turn as most tvrannioal and cruel. If tho villa
gers can be re-established in their homes, and
resume the cultivation of the land, it is well,
but the condition of the Damascenes is wholly
different. . Yet there is at present perfect
seourity. How long it may last I cannot
1 guess; Ploaeo represent this to every Englishman
, and American you meet. Yesterday morning nine
men were hanged, as before, in different parte of
I tbo city. One was aDruee,TromHasbejia, hanged
“for murders committed there; two were from Jo
-1 ban; two Were janizaries-of the Prussian consol,
’ and one - was a Persian proteoted sntgeot. I think
the othors were ordinary Damascenes. There
: was very little sensation produced, in the city.
Mora than four weeks have passed since the first
executions, and this is the result. The whole
business seems coming to a stasd-ttil!.* ' The Mos
lemsßay that Ahmed Pasha was.not shot at all;
that &U the preliminaries were duly gone through,
but that he was sot shot, and that Fuad Pasha
took him to Beirut with himselfc-* So much for
executions in private. Some soldiers are being
‘ sent to the Hauranand Hasbeyia.” .
Mr. Consul Brant, of Damascus, under same
dates, writes: u The local authorities continue to
supply n little money and bread, but the supply
will not SQfiice ; when the odd and damp we&uier
t arrives firing and warm’ bedding and clothing most
f then be added. Already sickness
I and there, being no medioal assistance for the sul
i ferers, a great mortality may be anticipated. In
, short, the prospect of the eppreaching winter is
; sufficiently gloomy, and dear&eg* of bread wilt, X
’ fear, be added to the other o»u*cs of suffering.”
i In view ef this state ef things. Messrs. Johnson
and Moore, of the Anglo-American committee, will
; urge the British Syrian Relirf Fund to send out a
| medical corps at onoo, wi'h oil necessary medi
cines, nurses, and hospital stores for the relief of
. the Damascenes, and, meanwhile, such medical aid
as can be spared from Bdrai will be sent imrae
* diately.
' Ttie American and -European laaiwef* this oily
vate very busy .in mating up clothes for the naked
and. sick; and their appeal for materials is loud,
• pressing, and worthy of the aid and sympathy of
, the humane and benevolent everywhere.
Victor Hugo.
A correspondent of The World says: “It seams
that Victor Hugo .did not go to Naples, bat is still
living quietly at Hautvitio house, m the Island of
Jersey, wishing for “ liberty to return to France,’*
in whioh event and at which period, as he stated
in bis letter refusing the general amnesty granted
by the Emperor last year, be will return. He is at
work upon a book, Les Nissrczbles, for whioh it is
said he has been offered, when completed, no less
a sum than ono hundred and fifty thousand francs
as bis oopyrigbt. It will require the sale of an im
mense number ot copies of. this work to enable a
publisher to pay such a price to an author, but with
the popularity os a writer which Victor Hugo en
bye in Franco,- it ia not improbable that hia pub
lishers oau afford him this handsome remunera
tion. More than four hundred thousand copies of
his Notre Patn&dr- Paris were issued' by them.
It is.probableAhat the- works'of that old charlatan,
Alexandre Dumas, now.have a. larger sale than
those of any other author in France. Three hun
dred thousand Copies of his * Trots Mousque
taires ’ have been'issued Lamartino’s works havo
an immense sple, in spite of whioh, however, their
author Ur always la trouble, and always begging for
aid. It is said that bis copyrights produce, him
1 an annual inoomo of about three hundred thousand
franca. Already more than forty thousand copies
of Thiers’* History of the Oodsulafe and Empire *
have been launohed upon the* sea of literature.
With suoh sales as these, perhaps M. Hugo’s pub
t Ushers'are light in.offering him one' hundred and
fifty thousand francs for Dei IWt&erablcs, and be
'as right In demanding, as It is said he does, three
, hundred thousand for his copyrights.”
