Rome is not evacuated till the Holy See, is
.secure
froth harm, nor Lombardy is free from the tacit
avowal of the Great Powers, and shall. have
guaranteed the new organisation of Italy. .7
The third point as to Venetia does not excite•
objections, but must be, left open to consider
any concessions' which Austria 'tnay.at a futUre
tinie offer with.iege4to Venetia. • •
In treating of the fourth point; that if after the
new- elections the assemblies of Central, Italy
pronounce in favour of annexation; France and
Great Britain 'shall not oppose .tha, entrance of
Sardinian troops.

'de Thonyenel says, .we regard,. ourselves'
bound by previous negotiations upon it with the
Austrian Court, and we could not to-day, 'in the
presence of the stipulations of Villafranea, pledge
ourselves in a formal manlier. M. de .Thouvenei.
adds, the reception we have given to the three
first propositions will prove the sentiments in
which .we have received its overtures ; and he
cannot have any doubt as to our sincere desire to
combine the solution which.- the.. situation- 'of
C,entral Italy .calls for. • ' '
