Whatever we may think respecting the conSolida-
Con of the nationality of the Italians by a Federal
Pact under the Presidency of the SOVEREIGN Pol./-
Tit-E.—it is beyond all denial that the safest and the
readiest means for securing the liberation of the
Roman peninsula will be the nomination of CAaLo
ALBERTO as King of Northern Italy, his dominions
comprising Lombardy, the Venetian States, Parma,
Piacenza, Modena, Genoa, Savoy, Sardinia, and Pied-
mont. However unadvisable this may appear to
ourselves as an ulterior arrangement, we should be
madmen to deny that as an immediate course it is the
very beat that could be followed by the Italians. It
would concentrate the energies, both military and
maritime, of the peninsula.; it would redouble the'
exertions of the MONARCH upon whose arms the
emancipation of the entire country is dependent ;
it would realise and verify that old dynastic
apophthegm that the House of Savoy is the
guardian of the keys of Italy ; and, within a few
months, within possibly a few weeks from the pre-
sent date, it would lead to the expulsion of the
German soldiers beyond
the Alpine barrier of the,
Tyrol. Nevertheless, we will acknowledge at once'"
that we anticipate this mode of settlement with a very
great degree 91 repugnance, We do so, morebver,
without depreciating in any respect the brilliant ser
TiceS of his Majesty of SA.anusu in aid of his illus:
trious confederates of the peninsula. We are „
dis-
dis-
posed to contemn the project for enseri
the
inde-
pen
inde-
pendence of Italy by the union
of the
Lombardo-
Venetian territory to the kingdom of Piedmont, not
because we regard the career of CAaL, A
caLBETITO
as tarnished by shameless and culpable incoasis.
teNcies, but because in the very fact
