hope that this crusade against Naples, which was
meant to extinguish for ever the light of freedom
in Italy, will base the effect of promoting and
extending its influence not in Italy alone, but also
in Germany. The attitude of defiance assumed
by Naples has excited in every generous mind
Ihreughoot Europe an ardent feeling of respect

deavours to check the march of freedom, and
slipuld their embarrassments eventually .prove
greater than their means to control them. they will
have the coneolotion to think that their °utters,
against Naples was the origin of their difficulties.
