chivalrous and noble-hearted La Marmora, who looks
like a Paladin of old, by his side, ha would fear no foe,
„n.l feel confident of victory. His. • taste is for action
rather than couucil ; he pre fern the field to the Cabinet.
His mode of life proves this ; he detests court forms and
ceremonies, and passes the greater part of his time in
hunting and shooting. Nothing afflicts him mere than
the arrival here of great personages, to whom he is
obliged to give state receptions and grand entertain'
meats. His ta-tee are not intellectual, and his private
life might occasion scandal in England ; but a moral
sovereign would be out of place in Piedmont ; and his
subjects smile indulgently at his amours, which are oft si
very elevated deecription. He is, in fact, very much
what he looks—a frank, straightforward man, hating
humbug, somewhat of a sensualist, with little
talent, but an honest heart. He has been
seen in England, and his portrait is familiar to most
people—his square and rather heavy figure, his
broad cheat and bull-neck, his enormous mow-
stache, bluff features, and head very much thrown back.
He looks best in uniform, and on horseback; on foot his
appearance is not very majestic. Whatever his defects,
however, his subjects like Lim well, and would be sorry
