hes a policy antagooiatie to that of Austria, and the
Sardinian government is not mad enough to provoke
a war with its oolossal neighbour.

The belligerent attitude which Austria is silently
seeming is perfectly istetiigibie. The cities ci the

her Italian territories is the metinusd hostility of the

anarchical conseqemors. Austria is, therefore, per

Piedmont to awash in an unequal seated with
Austria. The Governments of Frame and 'lashed
