TEI EITSIODNZD ALLTANCE DETWIJIN P/817851A AND ITALY.

In the course of se artie'e upon the contingency of a wax
between Prussia and Austria the Timm observes that if •
coalition l•etereen Prussia and Italy sgs:nat Austria be
notelet, onstamplated, • more suicidal alliance has never
been formed in Europe since Prussia and Italy lay together
at the feet of the first Napoleon. The evil genius of
Italy must inlaid have obtained a faid ascendancy in bee
councils if she can seriously entertain • design of becoming
the accomplice of Preemie. With • deficit which
threatens financial rule even in time of pews, and
with vital queatioas of internal politic still no-
settled, ale eould net more effectually confound her friends
and gratify her *semis@ than by accepting the bait bald
out by Prussia. It is one thing to anal herself of Austria's
weakness to emancipate Venetia, it is another thing to
purchase the masacipatica of Venetia by entering into •
bargain for the transfer of Schleswig-Holstein to Previa.
Tbs former might bs regarded by them who recognise the
doctrine of nationalities as a legitimate use of as oppor.
Wl:ay, the latter would estrange from Italy the goodwill
of all nations but thong who may be parties to it. It by no
means follows, however, that any other nation would
think it its duty to teed/ire.
