three years absence, I ton pleased at remarking the
progress which my people have made—but how
many things remain to 1* done to efface the faults
of our forefathers, and to render )ort worthy of the
destiny I stn preparing for you. The intestine di-
visions of oar ancestors, their miserable egotism to
particular cities, paved the way for the lose of all
our rights. The country was disinherited of its
rank and its dignity; that country, which, in more
distant ages, hail carried so fiat the I ionour of its arms
and the eclat of its virtues. I will make my glory
consist in regaining that eclat and those virtues.
Citizens of Italy-1 have done much for you ;
I will do much more—But on your side, united in
!wart as you are in interest with my people of
France, consider them as your brothers.—Always
behold the wore of our prosperity, the guarantee
of our institutions, and that of our independence, in
the union of the Iron Crown with that of my hope-
Tsai Crown."
