The giants of the people of the Two 9irilirs, the degree
of civilization to which it tia• attained, hail called for mans
years for a change in the internal sastein of the state. At

King adhered to it, saving the madificasions proposed by

Scarcely was the form of our political regime changed,

returned at Naples, by the _realest respect to the leintion,

I f the reader inia3;ine the Neapolitan frontier pro-
jecting, like the arc of a circle, from Aseoli to Itieti,
with the other extremity of the how to the south of
Palestrina, lie will have a tolerably accurate ilea of
the relative situations of the armies. It is obvious,
therefore, that if the Austrian army was scattered
in the manner here represented, a successful attack
on its centre would be attended with the most iin-
r.rtant consequences. The two wings, being dis-
j hued by the mate of the centre, and at so consi-
derable a distance from each other, in an imprac-
ticable country, would be exposed to alawst certain
destruction.
