ITALY.

A few days ago the Milan Gazette published a
sonnet conceived in a spirit of insult towards Pied-
mont and the Italian Liberals of 1848. It also con-
tained an allusion to the " impotent and feeble
sword" upon which the " sons of Italy," had founded
their hopes. To this sonnet the Piedinontere Gazette
of the Ist makes the following answer :—" We will
say but a few words about a sonnet lately published
by the official Gazette of Milan. We are con-
vinced that such a publication is contrary to the
intentions as well as the feelings of the men who
are at the head of public affairs in Austria, and
that it has escaped their censorship, a circum-
stance which in our eyes does not entirely screen them
from blame. However that may be, we beg to ob-
serve that such means are but a bad defence for any
cause. We can understand why the Austrian Go-
vernment opposed the national enthusiasm in Italy ;
but that enthusiasm, though unfortunate, was not
devoid of honour. Soldiers and citizens, all took a
part in it. The former only obeyed their chiefs, and
fought bravely ; the others only followed the dictates
of their hearts, and faced death, in the name of a
principle which the cinscience of man has ever re-
spected, and which will remain sacred as long as the
light of civilization shall last. For that cause a king
abandoned his country and died. That king, those
soldiers, those citizens might be opposed, might be
insult
them." in battle, but no one has the right to
them."
