The teolcity displayed by the Emperor Francis
Joseph !appears and re-appears at every turn in the
subsequent interpretation end application of the
preliminaries. From the first the French and Ana
Irian governments intended to turn them to dif-
ferent purposes, and more than once Napoleon VW
obliged to refer to his military superiority, and once
directly to threaten Austria with a renewal of the
war.

In the middle of November the Prince Eugene of
Savoy appointed M. Boneonspagni to be Regent of
Central Italy. Just at that time Prince Metternich,
the Aahrian ambassador at Paris, had received the
letters addressed by his government to the different
powers who were to be invited to a congress; but he
informed the Emperor, then at Compiegne, that
his govertment, on learning the nomination of M.
Boncompagni to be Regent of Central Italy, had dr
sired him to inform the Emperor that, under such
circumstances, Austria would not meet a Sardinian
plenipotentiary in oongrese." " I understand,"
Lord Cowley writes, on November 18, " that
his Majesty gave Prince Metternich distinctly
to understand, that the passage of tAa Po,
reader say pretext, by Austnan troops, would be
nest with a declaration of scar ow the part of
France." The Italian arrangement was modified,
and .tuatris withdrew her objection to attend a
congress.
Later. in November, the French government
found t: necessary to ask Prince Metternich
why Austria was making military preparations in
Venetia. Lord Cowley writer (p. 222) that the
Prince,ort his part, admitted the fact, and Justified it,
on the ground that large forces were kept on foot in
Sardinus. "Team forams, Prizes Metternich or
served, might be employed in a manner which would
necessitate the interference of Austria, who would
neither permit the military occupation of the
Duchiee by Sardinia, nor the annexation of them to
that kingdom." And notwithstanding the dis-
avowals of any intention of interfering in Central
Italy which we have already quoted, we find Lord
Lotto. reporting to this government, on the Bth of
November. that Count Rechberg had just observed
to him that " with reference to any future interfer-
ence in the Duchies the Austrian government re-
served to themselves complete liberty of action."
Towards England Austria held language full of
resentment after the peace of Villafranca. On his
return from Verona Lord Loftus saw Count }tech-
berg, who proceeded to express. and charged uur
ambassador to convey to the lintiah govern-
ment, his deep regret that, at a moment et
severe trial, Austria had been abandoned by
England, her oldest and most natural ally.
Lord Loftus observed to his excellency that he
had used the term of " England having abandoned
Austn• ;" but he must be aware that we had wear
held out any hopes to Austria of our active sapport
and co-operation, and that at the oommeneement of
the war we had openly and frankly declared our
intention to preserve a strict neutrality.
Lord John Roswell transmitted the following io-
spa•ch to Lord Loftus :
