"The preceding statement abundantly justiflas the deci-
sion adopted by the Assembly in declaring that it refuses
henceforth to recognise the temporal power of the Pope in
the Legations. It now remains to explain the =limed lithe
declaration relative to the annexation to Piedmont.

"The position eastuned by Piedmont dace 1849, the glory
with which her army has oovered itself, the loyalty and
bravery of her King, moat ascomarily have drawn towards
her the sympathies of the Italians. The Romagase, a prey
to agitation, aid to an uneasiness which seemed to be with-
out remedy, bad not far trona them a constitattoasi

state, which presented the spectacle of the alliance of
order with liberty. Piedmont was in the present
the hops of oppressed populations, end in the
future, their rallying point. It would, however be a mis-
take to look upon the movement by which the p4oletione of
the Romps are now lapelled that way se that of
transient enthusiasm. Its justification is so inherent in the
natters of things that, in our view, any other seetianent of
the question of the Legations than that indicated by the
Assembly would be devoid of • definitive character.

The Romagna' belong by their geogrephical position to
Upper Italy. The valley of the Po is destined to compose
bet one single state, of which Parma, Modena, Ferrara,
Bologna, and the Legati ma, from the Agonizes to the
Adriatic, naturally form part. To there considerations, drawn
from external signs, are to be joined thosederived from the cha-
racter of the people. From the elope of the Apennines, as far
as Sera, at the foot of the Alps, are found everywhere • race
of men having the saw character, the same habits, end
identical conditions of life. Here we have beyond any doubt
the steepest' of • compact and natural union. We may add
to this their historical recollections, and the still living tradi-
tions of that kingdom of Italy which, in spits of its brief
duration, hes left its impress on our ideas end our manners
Our agriculture, our commerce, and ell our interests incline
as towards the Lombard plain. Our eyes ere turned la the
direction of Turin and Milan. We are called upon sot to
form • confederation with the inhabitants of Piedmont sad
Lombardy, bat to amalgamate with them.
" Political reasons of the highest importance render this
combination necessary. What is It that them populations
so deeply stirred by revolutionary agitation, really need ?
government strongly organised, having military habits sad a
severe spirit of order. Piedmont alone can answer to these
engender ; she alone has the strength to protect ea effec-
tually, to form • national army, end to remove the lest
trews of our discords. If Europe does truly wish to ccosti-
tate them provinces in a durable manner, and so that they
shall no longer be a danger to the poem of Italy, she hes
only mientsans of doing so, and that is to eassollon the wishes
of the country. Any other: plan would leave the germs of
fresh manliest; is existence. The subversive spirit
end violate* prams would always find a favourable
sell, and so government could acquire sufficient force to
be master of the situation. This annexation is the rely set-
demon which can unite conservatives sad liberals is the

mate idea. The former beboll I. Piedmont the safeguard Of
order sad stability, whilst the latter appreciate her Meths-
slobs, her tendencies, and her asthma! capeatica. They all
camprabend that for the Romsgsaa nothing is possible except
anion under the sceptre of the Hones of Savoy, and that the
kingdom of Upper Italy is the term coed for the efforts of
the country. By 'eddying the will of the population of the
Legations, Europe will amomplish a work of wise policy; she
will perform an act of foresight, and ensure the tranquillity
of these provinces.
. .

" We are not exceeding due bounds is adding yet another
emedderation. The congress which Runk proposed was to
have taken as the basis of its deliberations the liberty of the
right bank of the Po. Austria was to be confined within the
limit' which the treaties of 1816 swiped her, and wad to
ronanos the illegitimate preponderance, which she had
pined in the rest of Italy. The preliminaries of Wahines
have fixed new boundaries for her, which she will have to
respect. But who can in the meantime guarantee Southern
Italy spinet the evestality of • future Marian interns-
thin P There le but one means of averting this danger, and
that is, to form • powerful kingdom which should. separate
Austria from the States of Rome and Naples. In this respect.
the Legalese are of immense importance. Let • military i
Power dose up the mad, and Southern Italy will
have been heed at once. On the contrary, a feeble State,
and without menaces, would leave the road open which tads
from Vesta' to Rome and to Naples. Doubt/ea, the
Powers will not desire to ea this danger arise again, end the
Emperor Nape Men will never permit Amnia to recover bar
preponderance in Italy. It is good policy not only to take
care of the menet, but also to yard spinet evil in the
future, and this would be effected by establishing en obstacle
rather In the nature of things than in the dispositions of men.
In this way security would be obtained epithet the return of
those political difficulties which have led to the war of 1859.
" To ram up, the restoration of the pontifical governme•t
in the Romagna cannot take place but by meats of
a foreign intervention, and after an obstinate struggle. That
restoration would but make m Aare worse and augment the
tesudon which preceded the war. Any restoration would
produce only • momentary effect, and would be fall of dangers
for the ferias. Steak has been determined to settle the Tra-
ria irrespectively of the treaties of 1815, there is bat one solu-
tion which can OlLlver the wialtesot the people, and that is the
amexatiat to Piedmont. Any other plan would be &depar-
ture like this one from the text of the trainee, but with the
marked disadvantage of tot offering either say esthete/Oka to
the popular desire., or any guarantee for the repine of Italy
sad of Europe. We submit these couiderations to the bees-
'phut judgment al the Powers. Let Europe sanction the
legitimate withered Central Italy, and she will have accom-
plished • great work of pesos and justers.
