EVENING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1851.1

there are other earthquakes still more terrible and far
less rare tha❑ those that level palaces and peasants'
homes ? Of the various dynasties that boast descent
from St. Louis, which of them is there that we have
not seen by a sudden shock from beneath hurled
down from their high estate into the blood-stained
dust or into distant exile, since the memorable
day of warning in 1789 ? Four times has the dia-
dem been snatched from the brow of their kinsmen
in France during the last seventy years—once from
the occupants of the Spanish throne, and twice from
the family of Naples. Already the mutterings of a
fearful storm are heard throughout all central and
southern Europe. Where does the wretched Sove-
reign of the unhappy Sicilies expect that he can look
for safety, when the ground under his feet shall once
more be upheaved ? It is said that the imperial, royal,
and ducal gaolers of Italy are about to be gathered
together at Verona, to consult and to confer. One of
the ostensible objects is alleged to be the formation of
an Austro-Italian customs-league ; another the com-
position and publication of a joint defence of their
reactionary proceedings since 1849. The former is of
course a scheme for the universal establishment of
monopolies throughout the greater portion of the
Peninsula, at the expense of the community at large;
in other words, a wholesale project for bribing the
chief capitalists and speculators of Italy into deserting
the cause and interest of their country. If one
wished the illustrious conspirators to add a new source
of popular hatred to those already existing, we could
not desire anything better suited to that end than the
execution of a design so directly infringing the com-
forts and luxuries of all classes of society. And as
for the latter, Prince Schwarzenberg may dictate, and
King Bornba sign, but their extenuations and evasions
will be met wherever men dare to think and speak,
with one cry of scorn—" Did ye not swear three
summers since to observe the law of representative
freedom, and are ye not forsworn ?"
