Tits Circular addressed by the Piedmontese
Government to its Ministate at foreign Courts,
explaining the entrance of its troops into the
Roman States, has one quality which enemies
and friends will recognise at a glance. It is out-
spoken end straightforward. By such plainness of
speech Count Caviare last year, exposing in a
despatch to Lord )iautrsacav the causes of Ita-
lian diontent, destroyed the equanimity of Count
Brut., and provoked the famous ultimatum so
disaatrous in its consequences to Austria, and by
the same c•penness he has at many a critical period
won for his Italian policy in all free countries, but
especially where the English tongue is spoken,
the strong support of public opinion. A
measure which, like this occupation of Umbria
and the Marches, sets at nought the technical
rules by which the relations of Governments to
one another are conveniently ordered in quiet
times, is not to be defended by nisi pries quibbles.
Count CAV.q'ft disdains to transfigure the acts of
his administration by fictions drawn from the
magazines of old diplomacy. He takes the facts
which constitute and define the relative situ-
ation of Piedmont and the Papal States
—facts which lie open to all the world—
and from thcni unanswerably deduces not only the
justice, but the moral and political necessity of
the act at which the THOVVENELM and RECHBEROII
are holding up their hands in well-feigned astonish-
ment.

fount C after appealing to the conduct
of the o;mlations of Northern and Central Italy
in iiro.if countrymen's moderation and love
of order. ;mil showing that their ruling desire is
for free mid national institutions, meals how
this desire, happily realised in a peaceful
manner in Lombardy and the Duchies, has
triumphed in a manner which, if lees regular
and pacific, is not less legitimate, in the Two
Sicilies :—" AVhat justice and reason could not
" obtsio a reeolut:on has accomplished—a prodi-
" gums revolution, which hes filled Europe with
" astonishment by the almost providential manner
" in sh:cli it has been accomplished, and excited
" its admiration for the illustrious warrior whose
ploits recall all that poetry and his-
" tory isn relate." The Sardinian statesman
claims for this revolution a character favourable
to tlr. true u.terists of European order, for he most
truly says :—" As soon as Sicily and Naples shall
" form an integral part of the great Italian
" family, the enemies of thrones will no longer
" have any powerful argument to bring forward
" against im•narchical principles. Revolutionary
" pant ins will no longer. find • theatre where the
" wildest enterprises had chaacesof succeeding, or at
" least ui exciting the sympathy of all generous
" minded men." But the very emancipation of
Naples r.•ndered it impossible that the populations
of the Roman States should longer consent to
remain cut nit from the life of the regenerated
nation, even if they had not to complain of a system
of epprz-ssion the most degrading and contemptible
in Christendoni. The obligation of free Italy to
help its bvetliren in bonds is intensified with every
accession to its power and resources. This truth
had been early recognised by the Aseossius and
3lttnees, although it is no impeachment of their
sagacity to suppose that they failed to foresee the
ettraordinary events by which the army and navy
of the Two Sicilia' have been subtracted from the
f..rees svailable against the national cause. Count
('tvu"e ;vessel as lightly as possible over the con-
duct of the fors in making use of his influence as
• Christian Bishop for the purposes of his
worldly government, but he stigmatises as it de-
servos the 'silky which gathered an army of mer-
cenaries from all parts of Europe, to be employed
in suppressing the best aviretions and the dearest
interests of the people who were burdened with
their maiut.•oance• The main object of the Mi-
nister, h'.wceer, is to show how the course fol-
lowed he the Papal Government affected Pied-
mont. The collection of Bavarians, Austrians,
Belgians, French, and others under General
and the declared intention of their com-
mander to deal with the national cause as with
Islamism, bad long violently roused the indigna-
tion of Italim.s who hail achieved their own liberty
and independence. On all sides these latter mani-
fested • design to put an end to • state of things
which not only wounded the national sentiment,
but wr.s an " outrage to justice and humanity."
The governms-nt of Vii-roe EiIIMANI'VL, which had
voluntarily incurred some odium in opposing the
immature a't.•nupts of irresponsible persons to de-
liver the populstions of Umbria and the Marches,
nevernielers foresaw that the increaaing irritation
of the people would bring them into collision with
the armed foreigners whom the Pore had called to
his aid. That fact made it certain that they would
be aided. For Italy could not stand by and see an
Italian p yulation which at most demanded to be con-
sulted respecting its own interests, overridden and

°Zrw'n by a foreign rabble. "No one, " says Count
Crrotra, " can prevent thousands of Italians from
"racing from the centre and frost the north of
" the Peninsula to the aid of their brothers
" threatened with disasters similar to those of
" Perugia." And if anyone could, would the South
of Italy, in the pride and flush of recovered inde-
pendence, be also restrained? No: the liberators of
Sicily would infallibly advance to libe-
rate their brethren subject to the Porn
In this conjuncture the Sardinian Government
had to consider what it owed to Italy, to Europe,
and to itself. Count Cavora admirably ex-
presses the considerations which have governed his
" If," he says, " the government of the
"KING remained passive amid this universal
" emotion, it would place itself in direct oppoai-
" Lion with the nation. The generous outburst
" which the events of Naples and of Sicily have
" produced in the masses would degenerate at
" once into anarchy and disorder. It would then
" be possible and even probable that the regular
" movement which has hitherto taken place might
" suddenly assume the character of violence and
" passion. Whatever power the idea of order
" may exercise over the Italians, there are provo-
" cations which the moat civilized people cannot
" resist. Assuredly they would be more to be pitied
" than blamed if for the first time they
" gave way to violent reactions, which would
" lead to the most lamentable cone-
" quences. History informs us that nations
" now at the head of civilization have committed
" the most deplorable excesses urged forward by
" less serious causes. Should it expose the Perrin-
" sula to similar dangers, the government of the
" King would be culpable towards Italy ; it would
" not be less so towards Europe. Tho King
" would be wanting in his duties towards the
" Italians, who have always hearkened to the
" counsels of moderation which he has given them,
" and who have intrusted to him the high mission
"of directing the national movement. He would
'• be wanting in his duties towards Europe, for he
" has contracted towards it the moral engagement
" of not allowing the Italian movement to degene-
" rate into anarchy and disorder."
For Englishmen, who have followed with close
attention the rapid and orderly progress of
the Italians in the pursuit of liberty, this jus-
tification of Piedmontese policy was =mom-
' airy. Here, without waiting for any official memo-
randum, it has been universally acknowledged
that the Sardinian government has done the right
thing at the right moment. In face of the enmi-
ties, professed or concealed, with which it has to
deal, Italian independence can only triumph and
become consolidated through Italian unity and the
prompt organization of Italian force. It has hitherto
been a great advantage, both to the Italian cause
and to Europe, that too large a portion of the
Peninsula has not been in a state of revolution at I
one time. If the active elements at work for the
regeneration of Italy should become so energetic
as to escape the control of that Italian
Government which by its enterprises and
its possessions is so deeply answerable for
Italy to Europe, although come successes might
momentarily gratify the ardent and impatient, the
ultimate result could not be satisfactory to those
who wish to see Italy strong and free. The Pors
has lost Umbria and the Marches ; for the order
which he could not maintain there without, or even
with, foreign troops, is re-established in a manner
which leaves the populations at liberty to manifest
their wishes regarding their government. For
this he has no one to thank but his foolish ad-
visers, less intent on maintaining that authority to
which he owes all the consideration he enjoys in
Christendom, than in defending their share in the
spoils of an injured people.
