• (41./ialaft 'INTELLIGENCE.
Amu. AND VENICE.
Hitikerto the 'Ali*an journals have treated all
- propositions*, tfiit cession of Venice as unworthy
of consideration. A change, however, seems to.
be taking place in the public feeling, as manifested
by the press. We read in the Freese of Vienna
" An Austrian victory on the Mincio or the Po
would probably-hays no other result than the main-
tenance of her position in Venice ; but
any such success would be no security
for the future. Between Novara and Sol-
ferino ten years have elapsed. Between
a first and second attack upon Venice a single year
probably would not elapse. What would not have
succeeded on the first occasion would be attempted
a second and a third time. The new Italian power
has great resources, and if it is not powerful
enough to overcome Austria, it is sufficiently
so to compel the latter to keep itself in a
state of war, which would exhaust her.
This permanence of danger paralyses the
strength of the country, delays the settlement of
the financial questions and condemns Austria to an
eternal wasting. The sword alone does not gua-
rantee the possession of Venice, and as Unbinds the
question cannot possibly be solved. The Cabinets
have now before them two or three months time
in which to negotiate and to combine. Probably
they will succeed in hitting upon a solution
which may secure peace without injuring the
dignity of Austria. Things cannot remain as
they are, and note well that we have struck the
balance of our position in Italy in the most favour-
able hypothesis."
The Oet Deutsche Post has some observations of the
same tendency, remarking that Sardinia will
henceforward be • power which it will be ne-
cessary to take notice of, and in respect of which
it will probably be necessary to assume a
different attitude than that of an irreconcileable
enemy.
