Iv another co➢amn will be found the appeal pro-
seated, by Count CAYoVR and his oolleagne in the
Couronnes*, of Paris to the Cabinets of the Tuileries
and 8.. James's, after the Congress had refused to
take into consideration the state of Italy. This ap-
peal, or repreeentation, or protest—call it what you
will—is probably the most eloquent dconaleat of its
kind recorded in history. Measured in its language,
ea became the representatives of the mama who
has disarmed revolution by governing is a castlta•
clonal manner, carefully avoiding every expraesies
that might excite the susceptibilities of the deepens
Governments, still the Sardinian remonstrant, pre-
sents each a picture of lawless sucrose/most es the
indepondesos of other states, and of mad provarstkis
to revolution by brutal oppression on the part of
Austria. as the most glowing words of poet or of
orator might have failed to produce.

Let us recal to the meteoric, of our readers--a
subject passed over in silence by the Sardinian Pleni-
potentiaries—what had taken place in Italy between
1830 and 1848. The combustion kindled by secret
associations had been quenched in blood. A brief in-
terval of despair and inaction succeeded. Continued
misrule, however, speedily resuscitated plots and
coaspireciss. But a wiser spirit was at the same
time awakened among some distinguished Liberals.
A party was formed, and beams rapidly powerful,
which aimed at gradual, practical reforms, not at
revolution. In 1847 members of this party were to be
found in every state of the Peninsula, and had
gained influence even with some of the Governments
Its strongholds were the Legations and Piedmont.
The events which took place at Paris in 1848 ex-
cited a sympathetic emotion throughout Italy; bat
had the Italian Governments acted with average
prudence, firmness, and sincerity, this constitutional
party would have been able to have maintained its
ascendancy. Falsehood and vacillation, however, on
the part of the ruler, precipitated the Peninsula into
the revolutionary gull, from which Piedmont aloes
ultimately emerged. Since that time despotism has,
except ia the Sardinian states, continued to display,
if possible, morn of its inherent brutality and folly
than formerly. Under a wise and liberal govern-
ment Piedmont has become daily more tran-
quil and propene& Throughout the rest of
Italy all has been anarchy. Oppression has pro-
voked conspiracy; a foreign mercenary soldiery
has been celled in to prop up the tottering
thrones of esoular and esolesiaatisal tyrants by its
bayonets; and in the struggle between ruthless Go-
vernments and maddened subjects all the bonds of
legitimate society have been relaxed. The brigands
are the real masters of Central and Southern Italy.

Foe years the coustitutioaaliste of Central Italy dung
to their faith in moderate and legal means of obtain-
ing redress, hut of late continued misery has made
them waver; and the peremptory refusal of the Con-
gress even to listen to the story of their weep is
likely to drive them to have recourse to the • wild
justice of revenge."

This it is which has extorted from the Sardinian
Government the gusset and anxious appeal to which
we have invited attention. Sardinia is tranquil; its
Government is paternal, its people are free, loyal,
and obedient to the laws. Bat the Piedusontess are
Italians as well as subjects of the King of
Saa-
atnL. They are allied by blood and marriage with
the inhabitants of Lombardy, the Legation, sad the
Duchies. They speak the same laapage; they
cherish the same historical memories. They have
among them many who have sought refuge in con-
stitutional Sardinia from the intolerable wrongs to
which they were subjected in the aeighbonring
states. Kea goaded beyond endurance are liable to
rush to the eonclusioa that " he who is not with
them is against them." The Sardisian Govern-
ment, by maiataining a neutral attitude between
the oppressors and the poplin of Italy, incurs
the risk of losing the confidence of its subjects,
and awakening the flames of revolution within
its own treatises. At the same time it is mewed by
Austria, the accomplice and abetter of every tyranny.
The Austrian Government has at no time enameled
the dissatisfaction with which it views the soastitu-
tiosal policy of Sardinia. It bas repeatedly sought
oat pretexts for fixing a quarrel upon that state. At
present, not satisfied with fanning the revolutionary
flame throughout Italy by acting es the hangmen of
her &apes, Austria is augmenting her forma
in the territories bordering on Piedmont, and
occupying strong positions all along the southern
mad sesta a frontiers. The meaning of those
preparstioas may be reed bat too clearly by the
light of pest history. Austria la making
ready to avail herself deny distarbasees in Piedmont
as • pretext for taking military caustics of the
country sad subverting its coastitational goverament.
Sardinia is in immiseat danger of being crashed by
the oollidea betweso despotism and anarchy. This
purest We snug from the Sardinian Government
that remonstraue which we enact otherwise desig-
nate than as a wry of spay extorted by the pro-
spect of impsadiag destrution.

- The Reesoustrrnee demonstrates that the peace of
all Europe, no lees thee that of Italy, is pissed in
sztrinse peril by the enereasluseate of Austria and
her complicity with the essasoulated despotisms of
the Peninsula. We know that the sympathies of
the best liberal statesmen of Ragland are with
the Italians ; and we trust that the dangers
which memos the repose of Europe, will
rouse them to act upon them sympathise. We trust
that the French Government will disown the Beres-
sity of cooperating heart and hand with Eng-
land and Sardinia. The apparent «Mims of the
French Government with regard to Italy has given
fresh courage to Austria. The culpable language of
Coma WALEWSII with retires., to the Belgian
press—of the folly of which it is rumoured
he Government has bemire fully aware—bas in-
duced Austria to attack the press of Piedmont. We
have confidence in the justice and courage of
the Piedinonteas Courts of Law; and, as Austria
has been obliged to resort to legal proceedings, we
have no fears for the free prom of the 84841214 a domi-
nions. Bat if Austria be wonted in the "wager of
law" to which she has bad recourse, we dread the
consequences of her vindictive anger for Sardiaia. We
do, therefore, most earnestly desire that the &saheb
Government may give free coarse to its generous
sympathies, mad that the Fresh Government may
repair the mischief it has dose by coquetting with
the despots of the East. Of me thing we are cer-
tain : that if Sardinia and Italy are permitted to fall
unaided, the effects upon the public Wed of Femme
and England will be terrific.
