Ng. u. ln No. I (gee STAR of the 6th instant) we give a sketch of the causes which contributed to raise in the public mind of this country, a straw and unfevour able prejudice against the inhabitants of Italy—and we trust that, slightly as we then touched upon those sources of a great errer, we did not 'fail to suggest that there must, in spite of our national antipathy, be something about the Italians, as a peopte s which de.; serves the attention of Englishmen. We now propose to direct the views of our Readers , to those circum stances in the political state of Italy which have, for so many ages, prevented her from assuming any leading part in the great military undertakings of Europe. The first and most obvious undoubtedly is the nature of her Government. The forms of Govern menu are modified by the habits of their people.— The rule of nations may change hands, but the mode of rule continues ever the same. It is of no conse quence whether the energies of a State be exercised by five hundred men in the form of a convention and under the name of a republic, or by one man with the title of King, Consul, or Emperor, if there exis:s In the people a habit of giving implicit obedience to every decree of the supreme authority. The national mode of acting will be always the same—and the commotions that may attend tit.: transfers of power from one - class of men to another, or from a heredi • tory despot to a usurper, will only affect those in the 'immediate vortex of the revolution—towards foreign States no change will take place r —an inflammation in the brain May agitate and affect every member of the body, but the consequ . quer to those whom the bands may grasp or strike will be only more erless violently felt. We shall not stop to illustrate the truth of this, -.our Readers will at once make the application them selves, and assent to the justness of the principle.—ln applying it to Italy we are necessitated, as in our i• former paper, to go bask to a remote period, and to consider circumstances which might be supposed to have long since ceased to operate. ' It has so happened that. Italy has never been sub ject to the government of a hereditary monarch, al 'though it has been uniformly monarchical in the :principle of its government. From the earliest ages her supreme Ruler has either been elected by a small and local number of persons, or by the tumultuous cry of a rabble, or the still less respectable outrage of military dictation: whether we consider the Con suls, the Dictators, the Emperors, or the Popes of Rome, the truth of the general assertion will be found indisputable ; and, therefore, it may be as safely as sumed as any probability can be received in evidence, that there does not exist among the Italians any feel. ing towards their chief Magistrate in the slightest degree of quality resembling that which is cherished by the inhabitants of those countries where hereditary right is admitted to be essential to the stability of governments. The effect of this on the general frame f the Italian society is abundantly evident. It would seem that while some peculiar destiny rendered eligi bility to the supreme office dependent on the suffrages of inferior officers, if had been tacitly settled, through. out the whole country, that in order to prevent the anarchy necessarily consequent on a frequent change , of the Head of the State, a degree of respect should be cherished for particular families, which would render their local influence commensurate to that of general laws; so that when the general laws were by the change of the chief magistrate interrupted, this local. influence should have the effect of operating in Pnrct sixPSZitIT itAt.FPENItt.• • • their place, and therArpreventing those deri-uctive tumults, which, in nations &flew], cnostituted, regularly arise at every interrupt) -11 in the adriVni. stration of the laws. O*ing to this grand peetiii .rity in the political constitution of Ifaly it has i happen . ed that none of the' revolutions diffa.nt Go. sentiments, republican, imperitl and papal, hive ever 'jai to any.provincial risings among the peopfe, ei. cept when the contests' betwec,. the diity-ent candi. '4s es for the supreme power were transferred from ..the capital to the provinces. The Italians appear to 'halve early' discovered - that the good and evil of Co t 'aliments is more dependent on the hereditary cha. t enter of the nobilitk that) on those who happen to - become invested with 'the monarchical power. And while they left the metropolitan demagogues and the candidates for place to discuss and arrange the ap pointments of the Regent and the Regency, they i.eententecl.thenselves with paying that deferetwe. their loCal atiperiots which ensured to them the fruits eisheir labour, and the safety of their persons. The consequence of this has been, that no country of Eu. rope can boast of a nobility so ancieat, i so 'numerous, and; historically considered, so illustrious, at: that of • • Italy.' = Though the country has been, in almost every century; for more than two thousand year'-, overrun by armies, acid thotigh rulers at rapidly as the casualties of human life -have been successively elected to the supreme dignity, the Italian nobility have remained unaltered, ever the same revered pro tectors of their immediate commonalty—ever appear ing, aftef ach lavision end revolution, t. those venerable towers and landmarks which Stand Secure on their deep fOnadations in ibe midst et floods an 4 deltges. . The general practical pri nciple of the italiin con. stitution is atistocratic. The feelings, the habits, thd sentitnents of the people have produced this, and re- quire that it should remain so*. Some mat think . it improper that we should speak efi. Me Coutittatiai" of Italy, but we know not a more appropriate phrase by which we could designate ih..t kind of organize. Lion which the frame cr society in the country has assumed, and by which all the distribution of publiii authority is administered. On this great,• broad; and tonsolidited basis of aristocracy, the often altered superstructure of the metropolitan governmer:t has always been raised Sometimes the strength and vaetriess of temekeindais • tions have been hidden by the temporary ethical of a military iii*..;:on—rnd sometimes align at height has been lost in the Babel which individdal tyrants hare attempted to build ; but the deluge has as often sal) : sided, and the fabric of ambition has tumb:ed to the ' earth, leaving the tiniest edifice to. appear again ht • all its due pr4ooaes. • • Of the iadeittiacitrie aristocratic nature oT the con. stitution of Italy,. no Man is more sensible•than he • who conceives himself the most interested in it,-Na- POLiON. It *as, ind i rect hiinself who first made the observrition.oit which these remarks site fonnded.---- . Early irifiis career he discriminated that feature which distinguishes the politic3l feetings,4 the Italians from • those of the French ; and he still remembers how much he Was teazed, its his first campaign, by the inflexible habit which the people of Italy Lad, ot ap pealing to their local superiors, , instead of the new tribtinals ; and how ellen his genius was rebuked and' thwarted by that deep-rooted prejudice: He ii even then discovered ; that while the French yielded implicit obedience to the mandateg of authority, the , • Italians universally seemed to seek a modification of.. . the tame mandates, by the inierposeiZon of those whore they vr..re accustomed respect. It is owing to his contiction of this constitutional feature of the Italian subject, that he has meddled less with the civil institutions of Italy, than with those of any . any other country that has submitted to the French . arms. At first he thought that by getting rid of the priesthood—that by demolishing the ecclesiastical de partment of the Italian constitution, lie should he Able to bring the inhabitants to a more flexible state I • but. he has . found himself deceived, and that the Ita lian charatter retains its ancient prejudices. If Italy was the first country which he over t ran, it has been also that in which he first felt his genius foiled. The Russian climate has convinced him that na. tune sets bounds to military enterprise ; but the ha. liar mind had taught him before, that decrees cannot alter the political dispesition of nations ; and that the violenze of his attempts to remodel Italy, were only like the effect of a stone thrown into water, agitating fur a moment, but haring sunk to the ground, leaving the surface and the substance in the same state in which they were before. In no respect has the general frame of society in Italy been changed by the.conquests of BONAPARTZ. The palaCes and churches have, it is true, been pH. laced—commerce has been almost destroyed—and many, who formerly eajoyeil great affluence, are now in abject poverty—such are the common sufferings which afflict all nations that happen to be the seats of sai ;—but the great class of the nobility remains .
