Intentions of aggeandietatent, at the same time that she was
determined to maintain her own rights to her Italian terri-
tory. The whole of the etriespondente *bowed an un-
founded sad unreasonable jealousy of Austria, who was od-
=Med on all hands to be the most steeliest and oldest ally.
Austria had denied all paructpaten in these disturbers:a,
which she was seemed of exciting, but her denial
wrs dieregarded, and languare was &darnel d to her which
was not onty an use but insulting. (Hear, hear.)
But during all this time there was evidence that the King of
Sardinia wm meditating an unprincipled and ambitions in-
vasion of the territories of Austria. Now, there was evi-
dence in these papers that her Majesty's government had not
takes all the steps they might have taken, and were bound
to take, to prevent the Invasion of the Austrian territories
by Piedmont, either oo the first or second ceession when
that unprincipled invasion was made. Her Majesty's govern-
ment should have told the King of Sardinia that if he in.
vaded Austria's territories he would he acting in contraven-
tion of the faith of treaties, ant only inconsistently
with his safety, but with the solemn engagements
which he had con:racted t; treaty. (Llear, b• se

was twining into danger. He should have been told that
le was violating a solemn compact to which this country
was a party. (Rear, hear.) On the 16th February, 1818,
Lord Napier, her Majesty's minister, made a sp.ech from his
window in which he told his audience that the liberty of
Hungary was no long. r a feeling or a vision, but a reality.
Be was reading from a report in the newspapers, but there
was no reason to disbelieve that it was whin as it
was gives, for it was gni*e is accordance with
the lug-sags bell by her Majesty's advisers. (Rear, bear.)
He did not charge the government with proutotint remota-
tions in Italy, but with a desire to isthmus., there just so
much liberalism as suited their purpose. Nothing could
be more absurd than to attempt to transplant the
institutions of one country into another. Those
papers abounded with proofs of jest. toy against
Austria, but the conduct of the government had been still
more unfriendly to the King of the Two Sicilies,
sad was marked by the most offensive demeanour.
As a preetiest constitution, that of 1812 was never esta-
blished, and had beta succeeded by three or four con-
stitutions since; sad it was admitted Ly the node earl
(M(nto) that it was not the very best piece of machinery.
The noble earl, on the 7th of March, rated that he had con-
cluded most satisfactory Menu, which no doubt they were,
as they had been all proposed by himself. Oa the 21st of
Massa the noble earl stated he should offer no obstacle
to the indepeadenee 'of Sicily being declared and
which course he considered would be advisable, wh vas on
the Ilth March he had in equally strong Baggage con.
damned such a course, and stated th.t It would lose Sicily
the favour of England. Saab was the impartiality of the
mediator, and the friendliness of the government to S oily.
When the noble earl arrived in fixity there was no question
about the toitstitutiem of 1812—the question was the abso
lute separation of Naples and Sicily; and the Sicilians were
in ohm rebellion Whist tbeir sovereign. Yet the government
was enuaasell in fomenting the rebellion, and even in providing
different sovereigns for the Sicilians. He believed the Bull-
dog with one set of proposals crossed the Porcupine with
'moth e r set of proposals. Offers were made to the Doke of 0, nos,
but be was too wise to acceptthern without anasourance of ton-
rinsed support. (Hear, hear.) It was impossible for him
to go through the long remainder of this come, with regard
to the pur-ait of the refugees, the complaints of
atrocities. and other truissetions. Up to a late period the
whole of the late/Arena was interference in favour of the
revolted sedate of the King of Sicily, in imitation of the
conduct pursue Iby Prance. It was • grim violation of
the law of nations. The result of the armistice was
that the beaten party bad time to remover and to
re-arm, sad to raise themselves from a position of die-
trem to a position in which they wi re able to renew the
struggle. The assumption that the King of Naples would

sad all the aloes of the government bad re•

be conciliated by the repudiation of all sympathy in these
promediairs es the part of their lordships.
